Report on review of quarterly information

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Vale S.A.

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying parent company and consolidated interim accounting information of Vale S.A. ("Company"), included in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, which comprises the balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and the respective income statements and the statements of comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods then ended, the statement of changes in equity for the six-month period then ended, the parent company statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six-month periods then ended, and explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the parent company and consolidated interim accounting information in accordance with the accounting standard CPC 21, Interim Financial Reporting, of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the presentation of this information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim accounting information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the interim information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying parent company and consolidated interim accounting information included in the quarterly information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of the quarterly information, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the CVM.

 

Other matters

Value added statements

The quarterly information referred to above includes the parent company and consolidated statements of value added for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. These statements are the responsibility of the Company's management and are presented as supplementary information under IAS 34. These statements have been subjected to review procedures performed together with the review of the interim accounting information for the purpose of concluding whether they are reconciled with the interim accounting information and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in the accounting standard CPC 09 - "Statement of Value Added". Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these statements of value added have not been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established in this accounting standard, and consistent with the parent company and consolidated interim accounting information taken as a whole.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

Expressed in millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated

 
  

 

1.               Corporate information

 

Vale S.A. and its subsidiaries (“Vale” or the “Company”) are global producers of: (i) iron ore and iron ore pellets, which are key raw materials for steelmaking, (ii) nickel, that is used to produce stainless steel, electric vehicles and metal alloys employed in the production process of several products, and (iii) copper, used in the construction sector to produce pipes and electrical wires. Vale also produces platinum group metals, gold, silver, and cobalt as by-products and operates a railroad and port logistics system in Brazil to outflow its production. Most of the Company’s products are sold to international markets by Vale International S.A. (“VISA”), a trading company located in Switzerland.

 

In addition, the Company has equity investments and assets with the objective of reducing energy costs, minimizing the risk of shortages and meeting its energy consumption needs through renewable sources.

 

Vale also produced thermal and metallurgical coal, which has been sold in the current quarter and is presented in these interim financial statements as a “discontinued operation” (note 14a).

 

Vale S.A. (the “Parent Company”) is a public company headquartered in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with securities traded on the stock exchanges of São Paulo – B3 S.A. (VALE3), New York - NYSE (VALE) and Madrid – LATIBEX (XVALO).

 

2.        Basis of preparation of interim financial statements

 

The consolidated and individual interim financial statements of the Company (“interim financial statements”) have been prepared and are being presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (CPC 21) of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), as implemented in Brazil by the Brazilian Accountant Pronouncements Committee ("CPC"), approved by the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission ("CVM") and by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”). All relevant information for the interim financial statements, and only this information, are presented and consistent to those used by the Company's Management.

 

The interim financial statements have been prepared to update users on the relevant events and transactions that occurred in the period and must be analyzed together with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accounting policies, accounting estimates and judgments, management of risk and measurement methods are the same as those adopted in the preparation of the latest annual financial statements. The selected notes of the Parent Company are presented in a summarized form in note 29.

 

These interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Executive Committee on July 28, 2022.

a) Statement of Value Added

The presentation of the parent company and consolidated statements of value added is required by the Brazilian corporate legislation and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil for listed companies, while it is not required by IFRS. Therefore, under the IFRS, the presentation of such statements is considered supplementary information, and not part of the set of financial statements. The Statement of Value Added was prepared in accordance with the criteria defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - "Statement of Value Added".

b) Functional currency and presentation currency

The interim financial statements of the Company and its associates and joint ventures are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”), in the case of the Parent Company and its associates and joint ventures in Brazil, is the Brazilian real (“R$”). The functional currency of direct subsidiaries operating in an international economic environment is the US dollar (“US$”).

 

The main exchange rates used by the Company to translate its foreign operations are as follows:

c) Russia-Ukraine conflict

The Company’s business is subject to external risk factors related to our global operations and the global profile of our client portfolio and supply chains. Global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions in connection with the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

The resulting economic sanctions imposed by the United States, Canada, the European Union, the UK and other countries as a direct consequence of this conflict may continue to significantly impact supply chains, lead to market disruptions including significant volatility in commodities’ prices and bring heightened near-term uncertainty to the global financial system, including through instability of credit and of capital markets.

At this time, the effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict have not caused significant impacts on the Company’s operations nor on the fair value of its assets and liabilities. However, escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict may adversely affect the Company’s business, such as disruption of international trade flows, extreme market pricing volatility, with particular impact on the energy sector, industrial and agricultural supply chains, shipping, and regulatory and contractual uncertainty, and increased geopolitical tensions around the world.

 

3.       Significant events of the current period

 

Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Income Statement were particularly affected by the following events and transactions during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022:

 

Sale of the Coal operation (note 14a). In April 2022, the Company concluded the sale of the Coal operation to Vulcan Resources for a total consideration of R$1,285 (US$270 million). Following the completion of the transaction, the Company recorded an income of R$9,812 (US$2,058 million) from discontinued operations, mainly due to the reclassification of the cumulative translation adjustments of R$14,636 (US$3,072 million), which was partially offset by the derecognition of the carrying value of noncontrolling interest in the amount of R$2,783 (US$585 million) and impairment of R$2,041 (US$429 million).

 

Share buyback program (note 27d). In May 2022, the Company concluded its share buyback program by the way of acquiring 178,815,500 common shares, corresponding to the total amount of R$16,225 (US$3,251 million). The Company also approved a new share buyback program to repurchase 500,000,000 common shares and their respective ADRs. Under the current program in place, Vale has already repurchased 70,443,798 common shares, corresponding to a total amount of R$5,703 (US$1,133 million).

 

Bond tender offers (note 20d). In June 2022, the Company repurchased R$6,520 (US$1,291 million) of its Bonds and paid a premium of R$568 (US$113 million), which has been recorded and is presented as “Bond premium repurchase” under the financial results.

 

Sale of Midwestern System assets (note 14c). In July 2022 (subsequent event), the Company concluded the sale of the Midwestern System to J&F Mineração Ltda. (“J&F”) and received R$815 (US$150 million), in addition to transferring to J&F the obligations related to the take-or-pay logistics contracts.

 

Stockholder’s remuneration (note 27c). In July 2022 (subsequent event), the Company approved dividends to its shareholders in the amount of R$16,243 (US$3,000 million), which will be paid in September 2022.

 

Cancellation of common shares held in treasury (note 27b). In July 2022 (subsequent event), the Company approved the cancellation of 220,150,800 common shares held in treasury.

 

Sale of Companhia Siderúrgica do Pecém (“CSP”). In July 2022 (subsequent event), the Company and the other shareholders of CSP signed a binding agreement with ArcelorMittal for the sale of CSP for approximately R$11,524 (US$2,200 million), which will be used in full on the prepayment of CSP’s outstanding net debt of approximately R$12,047 (US$2,300 million). The Company does not expect any material impact at closing, which is expected to occur in 2022, subject to customary regulatory approvals.

4.        Information by business segment and geographic area

 

The Company operates the following reportable segments: Ferrous Minerals, Base Metals and Coal (presented as discontinued operations). The segments are aligned with products and reflect the structure used by Management to evaluate the Company’s performance. The responsible bodies for making operational decisions, allocating resources and evaluating performance are the Executive Boards and Board of Directors. Accordingly, the performance of the operating segments is assessed based on a measure of adjusted LAJIDA (EBITDA), among other measures.

 

The Company allocates to “Other” the revenues and cost of other products, services, research and development, investments in joint ventures and associates of other business and unallocated corporate expenses. Costs related to the Brumadinho event are allocated to "Other" as well.

 

In 2022, the Company has allocated the financial information of the Midwestern System to “Other” as this operation is no longer analyzed by the chief operating decision maker as part of to the performance of the Ferrous Minerals business segment due to the binding agreement to sell this operation. The comparative information was reclassified to reflect the revision in the allocation criteria.

b)    Income tax reconciliation – Income statement

 

Income tax expense is recognized based on the estimate of the weighted average effective tax rate expected for the full year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items that are recognized in full on the interim tax calculation. Therefore, the effective tax rate in the interim financial statements may differ from management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the year.

 

The total amount presented as income taxes in the income statement is reconciled to the statutory rate, as follows:

Provisionally priced commodities sales – The commodity price risk arises from volatility of iron ore, nickel and copper prices. The Company is mostly exposed to the fluctuations in the iron ore and copper price (note 17). The selling price of these products can be measured reliably at each period since the price is quoted in an active market.

The sensitivity of the Company’s risk on final settlement of provisionally priced accounts receivables are presented below:

California Steel Industries (“CSI”): In December 2021, the Company entered into a binding agreement with Nucor Corporation (“Nucor”) for the sale of its 50% interest in CSI for R$2,269 (US$437 million). In February 2022, the Company concluded the sale and recorded a gain of R$1,545 (US$297 million) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as “Equity results and other results in associates and joint ventures”, of which R$766 (US$147 million) relates to a gain from the sale and R$779 (US$150 million) is due to the reclassification of the cumulative translation adjustments from the stockholders’ equity to the income statement.

Corporate Venture Capital: In June 2022, the Company created a corporate venture capital initiative (“Vale Ventures”) to invest in global startups involved in sustainable mining initiatives, with a capital investment of R$524 (US$100 million). The purpose of Vale Ventures is to acquire minority stakes in startups focused on decarbonization in the mining value chain, zero-waste mining, energy transition metals and other technologies.

a) Coal (Discontinued operation)

In June 2021, in preparation for a sale of the coal operation, in connection with the sustainable strategic mining agenda, the Company carried out a corporate reorganization by acquiring the interests held by Mitsui in the coal assets, which consist of Moatize mine and the Nacala Logistics Corridor (“NLC”). Following the acquisition of Mitsui’s stakes, and therefore, the simplification of the governance, the Company started the process of divesting its participation in the coal business.

 

In December 2021, the Company entered into a binding agreement with Vulcan Resources (formerly known as Vulcan Minerals - “Vulcan”) for the sale of these assets. Under the sale agreement Vulcan has committed to pay the gross amount of R$1,285 (US$270 million), in addition of a 10-year royalty agreement subject to certain mine production and coal price conditions and so, due to the nature and uncertainties related to the measurement of these royalties, gains will be recognized as incurred.

 

Therefore, in 2021 the Company adjusted the net assets of the coal business to the fair value less costs of disposal, resulting in impairment losses, and started presenting the coal segment as a discontinued operation starting from the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

On April 25, 2022, the transaction was completed and the Company recorded a net income from discontinued operations of R$9,818 (US$2,060 million) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, which is mainly driven by the reclassification of the cumulative translation adjustments of R$14,636 (US$3,072 million), from the stockholders’ equity to the income statement, as required by IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, partially offset by the derecognition of noncontrolling interest of R$2,783 (US$585 million) due to the deconsolidation of the coal assets. Additionally, until the closing of the transaction, the Company recorded losses of R$2,867 (US$589 million), due to the impairment of assets acquired in the period and working capital adjustments. These effects are presented below:

b) Manganese ferroalloys operations in Minas Gerais

 

In January 2022, the Company completed the sale of its ferroalloys operations in Barbacena and Ouro Preto and its manganese mining operations at Morro da Mina, in the State of Minas Gerais, to VDL Group (“VDL”) for a total consideration of R$210 (US$40 million). As the Company had already adjusted the net assets to the fair value less cost of disposal, the closing did not result in an additional impact on the income statement for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. As a result, the Company no longer has manganese ferroalloys operations.

 

c) Midwestern System assets

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company classified the assets and liabilities related to the Midwestern System as held for sale due to the negotiations with interested parties in Vale’s iron ore, manganese and logistics assets in the Midwestern System, through its equity interests in Mineração Corumbaense Reunida S.A., Mineração Mato Grosso S.A., International Iron Company, Inc. and Transbarge Navegación S.A. These negotiations resulted in the execution of a binding agreement with J&F Mineração Ltda. (“J&F”) for the sale of these assets, which was signed on April 6, 2022.

 

The carrying amount of those assets were fully impaired in past years and the Company had a liability related to take-or-pay logistics contracts in the amount of R$4,629 (US$932 million) that were deemed onerous contracts under the Company’s business model for the Midwestern System, which had negative reserves of R$$4,226 (US$892 million) before reclassification to “Non-current assets and liabilities held for sale”.

These offers received during the sale process of the assets represented an objective evidence of impairment reversal and the remeasurement of the existing provision, which led to a gain of R$5,556 (US$1,104 million) recorded as “Impairment reversal (impairment and disposals) of non-current assets, net”, of which R$1,121 (US$214 million) relates to the impairment reversal on the Property, plant and equipment and R$4,435 (US$890 million) is due to the remeasurement of the onerous contract liability.

On July 15, 2022 (subsequent event), the transaction was completed and the Company received R$815 (US$150 million). As the Company had already adjusted the net assets to the fair value less cost of disposal, the closing should not result in any additional impact to the income statement for the next quarter.

In 2022, the Company renewed its hedge nickel program due to the high volatility of nickel prices linked to future cash flows forecast for the period. In this program, hedging operations were executed, through forward contracts, to protect a portion of the projected volume of sales at floating, highly probable realization prices, guaranteeing prices above the average unit cost of nickel production for the protected volumes. The contracts are traded on the London Metal Exchange or over-the-counter market and the hedged item's P&L is offset by the hedged item’s P&L due to Nickel price variation.

19. Participative stockholders’ debentures

 

At the time of its privatization in 1997, the Company issued a total of 388,559,056 debentures to then-existing stockholders, including the Brazilian Government. The debentures’ terms were set to ensure that pre-privatization stockholders would participate in potential future benefits that might be obtained from exploration of mineral resources. This obligation related to the debentures will cease when all the relevant mineral resources are exhausted, sold or otherwise disposed of by the Company.

 

Holders of participative stockholders’ debentures have the right to receive semi-annual payments equal to an agreed percentage of revenues less value-added tax, transport fee and insurance expenses related to the trading of the products, derived from these mineral resources. On April 1, 2022, the Company made available for withdrawal as remuneration the amount of R$1,120 (US$235 million) for the second semester of 2021, as disclosed on the “Shareholders’ debentures report” made available on the Company’s website.

 

To calculate the fair value of the liability, the Company uses the weighted average price of trades in the secondary market for the last month of the quarter. The average price decreased from R$49.10 per debenture for the year ended December 31, 2021, to R$43.39 per debenture for the period ended June 30, 2022, resulting in a gain of R$1,322 (US$288 million) recorded in the income statement for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the liability was R$16,861 (US$3,219 million) (R$19,078 (US$3,419 million) as of December 31, 2021).

21.       Brumadinho dam failure

 

On January 25, 2019, a tailings dam (“Dam I”) failed at the Córrego do Feijão mine, in the city of Brumadinho, State of Minas Gerais. The failure released a flow of tailings debris, destroying some of Vale’s facilities, affecting local communities and disturbing the environment. The tailings released have caused an impact of around 315 km in extension, reaching the nearby Paraopeba River. The dam failure in Brumadinho (“event”) resulted in 270 fatalities or presumed fatalities, including 4 victims still missing, and caused extensive property and environmental damage in the region.

 

As a result, on February 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Judicial Settlement for Integral Reparation (“Global Settlement”), which was under negotiations since 2019, with the State of Minas Gerais, the Public Defender of the State of Minas Gerais and the Federal and the State of Minas Gerais Public Prosecutors Offices, to repair the environmental and social damage resulting from the Dam I rupture.

a) Global Settlement for Brumadinho

The Global Agreement includes: (i) payment obligations, of which the funds will be used directly by the State of Minas Gerais and Institutions of Justice for socio-economic and socio-environmental compensation projects; (ii) socioeconomic projects in Brumadinho and other municipalities; and (iii) compensation of the environmental damage caused by the dam rupture.

Measures (i) and (ii) will be carried out directly by the Company for an average period of 5 years. Although the agreement specifies an amount for each project, the project execution is under Vale's responsibility and changes in the original budget and deadlines may have an impact in the provision. In addition, despite the amount set by Global Settlement to carry out the environmental recovery actions, it has no cap due to the Company's legal obligation to fully repair the environmental damage caused by the dam rupture. Therefore, despite the fact Vale is monitoring this provision, the amount recorded could materially change depending on several factors that are not under the Company’s control.

b) Contingencies and other legal matters

 

(b.i) Public civil actions brought by the State of Minas Gerais and state public prosecutors for damages resulting from the rupture of Dam I

 

The Company is party to public civil actions brought by the State of Minas Gerais and justice institutions, claiming compensation for socioeconomic and socio-environmental damages resulting from the dam failure and seeking a broad range of preliminary injunctions ordering Vale to take specific remediation and reparation actions. As a result of the Global Settlement, the requests for the reparation of socio-environmental and socioeconomic damages caused by the dam rupture were substantially resolved. Indemnifications for individual damages was excluded from the Global Settlement, and the parties ratified the agreement with the Public Defendants of the State of Minas Gerais. Thus, the Company is continuing to enter into individual agreements.

 

(b.ii) Collective Labor Civil Action

 

In 2021, public civil actions were filed in the Betim Labor Court in the State of Minas Gerais, by a workers' union claiming the payment of compensation for death damages to own and outsourced employees, who died as a result of the rupture of Dam I. An initial sentence was published condemning Vale to pay R$1 (US$191 thousand) per fatal victim. Vale is defending itself on the lawsuits and understands that the likelihood of loss is possible.

 

(b.iii) U.S. Securities putative class action suit

 

Vale is defending itself in a putative class action brought before a Federal Court in New York and filed by holders of securities - American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") - issued by Vale. The Lead Plaintiff alleges that Vale made false and misleading statements or omitted to make disclosures concerning the risks of the operations of Dam I in the Córrego de Feijão mine and the adequacy of the related programs and procedures. Following the decision of the Court, in May 2020, that denied the Motion to Dismiss presented by the Company, the Discovery phase has started and is expected to be concluded in 2022.

 

On November 24, 2021, a new Complaint was filed before the same Court by eight Plaintiffs, all investment funds, as an “opt-out” litigation from the putative class action already pending in the Eastern District of New York court, asserting virtually the same claims against the same defendants as those in the putative class case.

 

Based on the evaluation of the Company's legal counsel and given the very preliminary stage, the expectation of loss of these processes is classified as possible. However, considering the initial stage of this putative class action, it is not possible at this time to reliably estimate the amount of a potential loss. The Plaintiff did not specify the amounts alleged in this demand.

 

(b.iv) Arbitration proceedings in Brazil filed by minority stockholders and a class association

In Brazil, Vale is a defendant in (i) one arbitration filed by 385 minority stockholders, (ii) two arbitrations filed by a class association allegedly representing all Vale’s minority stockholders, and (iii) three arbitrations filed by foreign investment funds.

In the six proceedings, the Claimants argue Vale was aware of the risks associated with the dam, and failed to disclose it to the stockholders, which would be required under the Brazilian applicable laws and the rules of Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (Securities and Exchange Commission in Brazil). Based on such argument, they claim compensation for losses caused by the decrease of the value of the shares.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

Based on the assessment of the Company's legal advisors, the expectation of loss is classified as possible for the six procedures and, considering the initial phase, it is not possible at this time to reliably estimate the amount of a possible loss.

In one of the proceedings filed by foreign funds, the Claimants initially estimated the amount of the alleged losses would be approximately R$1,800 (US$344 million). In another proceeding filed by foreign funds, the Claimants initially estimated the amount of the alleged losses would be approximately R$3,900 (US$745 million). The Company disagrees with the ongoing proceedings and understands that, in this case and at the current stage of the proceedings, the probability of loss in the amount claimed by the foreign funds is remote.

(b.v) Investigations conducted by CVM and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)

On April 28, 2022, SEC filed a suit against Vale alleging violations of U.S. securities laws arising from Vale’s disclosures about its dam safety management, including the dam at Brumadinho. The SEC could seek the imposition of civil monetary penalties, disgorgement and other relief within the SEC’s authority in a lawsuit filed in a federal court. Vale believes that its disclosures did not violate U.S. law and will contest such allegations. Considering that the lawsuit is in its initial phase, it is not yet possible to reliably estimate the amount of a possible loss to the Company.

 

CVM is also conducting investigations relating to Vale's disclosure of relevant information to shareholders, investors and the market in general, especially regarding the conditions and management of Vale's dams. Currently, it is not possible to reliably estimate the amount of a possible loss to the Company.

(b.vi) Criminal proceedings and investigations

In January 2020, the State Prosecutors of Minas Gerais (“MPMG”) filed criminal charges against 16 individuals (including former executive officers of Vale and former employees) for a number of potential crimes, including homicide, and against Vale S.A. for alleged environmental crimes. In November 2021, the Brazilian Federal Police concluded an investigation on potential criminal liability for the Brumadinho dam rupture. The investigation has been sent to the Federal Public Prosecutors (“MPF”), which has not brought criminal charges against Vale. The MPF and the Brazilian Federal Police conducted a separate investigation into the causes of the dam rupture in Brumadinho, which may result in new criminal proceedings. Vale is defending itself against the criminal claims and is no possible to estimate when a decision will be issued. 

c) Insurance

 

The Company is negotiating with insurers the payment of indemnification under its civil liability and Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. However, these negotiations are still in progress, therefore any payment of insurance proceeds will depend on the coverage definitions under these policies and assessment of the amount of loss. Due to uncertainties, no indemnification related to these insurers was recognized in these financial statements.

 

22.       Liabilities related to associates and joint ventures

 

a) Rupture of Samarco dam

 

In November 2015, the Fundão tailings dam owned by Samarco Mineração S.A. (Samarco) failed, releasing tailings downstream, flooding certain communities and causing impacts on communities and the environment along the Doce river. The rupture resulted in 19 fatalities and caused property and environmental damage to the affected areas. Samarco is a joint venture equally owned by Vale S.A. and BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda. (‘‘BHPB’’).

 

In June 2016, Samarco, Vale and BHPB created the Renova Foundation, a not-for-profit private foundation, to develop and implement (i) social and economic remediation and compensation programs and (ii) environmental remediation and compensation programs in the region affected by the dam rupture. The creation of Renova Foundation was provided for under the agreement for settlement and conduct adjustment (the ‘‘Framework Agreement’’) signed in March 2016 by Vale, BHPB, Samarco, the Brazilian federal government, the two Brazilian states affected by the rupture (Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo) and other governmental authorities.

 

In June 2018, Samarco, Vale and BHPB entered into a comprehensive agreement with the offices of the federal and state (Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo) prosecutors, public defenders and attorney general, among other parties (“Tac Gov Agreement”), improving the governance mechanism of Renova Foundation and establishing, among other things, a process for potential revisions to the remediation programs provided under the Framework Agreement.

Judicial recovery of Samarco

 

Under the Framework Agreement, the Tac Gov Agreement and Renova’s bylaws, Renova Foundation must be funded by Samarco, but to the extent that Samarco is unable to fund, Vale and BHPB must ratably bear the funding requirements Under the Framework Agreement.

 

In April 2021, Samarco announced the request for Judicial Reorganization (“RJ”) that was filed with the Minas Gerais Court to renegotiate its debt, which is held by bondholders abroad. The purpose of RJ is to restructure Samarco’s debts and establish an independent and sustainable financial position, allowing Samarco to keep working to resume its operations safely and to fulfill its obligations related to the Renova Foundation.

 

The RJ does not affect Samarco’s obligation to remediate and compensate the impacts of the Fundão tailings dam failure. However, as Samarco began the gradual resumption of operations in December 2020, it is not yet possible to reliably estimate when Samarco will generate cash to comply with its assumed obligation in the Framework Agreement. Thus, the liability recorded by Vale as of June 30, 2022 is recognized based on the assumption that Samarco does not have the capacity to generate cash enough to make all cash contributions to the Renova Foundation.

 

In addition, the ongoing discussions in the context of the RJ may lead to the loss of deductibility of part of the expenses incurred with the Renova Foundation and of the deferred taxes over the total provision, depending on the method determined for restructuring Samarco's debts. As of June 30, 2022, the exposure is R$8,198 (US$1,565 million), of which R$2,516 (US$480 million) are expenses already incurred and considered as part of the Company’s uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company is working in the perspective that the mechanisms resulting from the RJ will continue allowing the deductibility of these expenses. However, future decisions resulting from the negotiations regarding Samarco's capital structure, which are not under Vale's control, could materially change the deferred tax recognized by the Company.

c) Renova

 

During the second quarter of 2022, Renova Foundation reviewed the assumptions used on the preparation of the estimates incorporated into the mitigation and compensation programs mainly due recent judicial decisions increasing the scope of some TTAC programs. The periodic review, resulted in an additional provision of R$450 (US$89 million) (2021: R$2,820 (US$560 million)), which corresponds to its portion of the responsibility to support Renova Foundation.

 

d) Germano Dam

 

In addition to the Fundão tailings dam, Samarco owns the Germano dam, which was also built under the upstream method and has been inactive since the Fundão dam rupture. Due to the safety requirements set by the Brazilian National Mining Agency (“Agência Nacional de Mineração – ANM”), Samarco prepared a project for the de-characterization of this dam, resulting in a provision for the de-characterization of the Germano tailings dam. As of June 30, 2022, Vale has a provision for de-characterization of Germano tailings dam in the amount of R$1,024 (US$195 million) (2021: R$1,126 (US$202 million)).

 

e) Samarco’s working capital

 

In addition to the provision, Vale S.A. made available R$113 (US$21 million) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, which was fully used to fund Samarco’s working capital. This amount was recognized in Vale´s income statement as an expense in “Equity results and other results in associates and joint ventures”. In 2022, Vale was not required to fund Samarco’s working capital.

f) Contingencies related to Samarco accident

 

These proceedings include public civil actions brought by Brazilian authorities and multiple proceedings involving claims for significant amounts of damages and remediation measures. The Framework Agreements represents a model for the settlement of the public civil action brought by the MPF and other related proceedings. There are also putative securities class actions in the United States against Vale and some of its current and former officers and a criminal proceeding in Brazil. The main updates regarding the lawsuits in the period were as follows:

 

(f.i) Public Civil Action filed by the Federal Government and others and public civil action filed by the Federal Public Prosecutors ("MPF")

 

The Tac Gov Agreement estates a possible renegotiation of Renova Foundation's reparation programs upon the completion of studies carried by specialists. This issue motivated the request for the resumption of the Public Civil Action, by the MPF.

 

In October 2020, the MPF requested the resumption of its public civil action of R$155 billion (US$30 billion), due to a difficulty in hiring of technical advisors. Discussion for the renegotiation began in April 2021, and a letter of principles was finalized and signed in June 2021 by the companies Vale, BHPB and Samarco, as well as representatives of the Government and various Justice Institutions.

 

During the current quarter, the Company has made significant progress in the negotiations with the relevant authorities to sign an agreement which would provide a stable framework for the execution of reparation and compensation programs. Although it is not possible to determine at this time, the Company expects to reach an agreement in the foreseeable future and, based on the current terms under discussion, it would not result in any additional provision.

 

(f.ii) Criminal proceeding

 

In September 2019, the federal court of Ponte Nova dismissed all criminal charges against Vale representatives relating to the first group of charges, which concerns the results of the Fundão dam failure, remaining only the legal entity in the passive pole. The second group of charges against Vale S.A. and one of the Company’s employees, which concerns the accusation of alleged crimes committed against the Environmental Public Administration, remained unchanged. The Company cannot estimate when a final decision on the case will be issued.

 

g) Insurance

 

Since the Fundão dam rupture, the Company negotiated with insurers the indemnification payments based on its general liability policies. As of June 30, 2021, the Company received R$181 (US$33 million), which was recorded as a gain in the income statement as “Equity results and other results in associates and joint ventures”. The Company did not receive any further insurance in 2022 and does not expect to receive any material amounts in the future.

 

23.       Provision for de-characterization of dam structures and asset retirement obligations

 

The Company is subject to laws and regulations that requires the decommissioning of the assets and mines sites at the end of the operation and, therefore, decommissioning expenditures are incurred predominantly when the Company ceases the operating activities. Depending on the geotechnical characteristics of the structures, the Company is required to de-characterize the structures, as described below.

 

a) De-characterization of upstream and centerline geotechnical structures

 

As a result of the Brumadinho dam rupture (note 21), the Company has decided to speed up the plan to “de-characterize” all of its tailings dams built under the upstream method, certain “centerline structures” and dikes, located in Brazil. The Company also operates tailings dams in Canada, including upstream compacted dams, however, there are no safety, technical or regulatory reasons for these dams to be de-characterized. Therefore, these dams will be decommissioned using other methods, thus, the provision to execute decommissioning of dams in Canada is recognized as “Asset retirement obligations and environmental obligations”, presented in item (b) below.

 

In September 2020, the federal government enacted Law no. 14,066, which modified the National Dam Safety Policy (Law no. 12,334/2020), reinforcing the prohibition of constructing and raising upstream dams in Brazil. The statute also requires companies to de-characterize the structures built using the upstream method by 2022, or by a later date if it is proven that the de-characterization is not technically feasible by 2022. A substantial part of the Company's de-characterization projects will be completed in 15 years, which exceeds the date established in the regulation due to the characteristics and safety levels of the Company's geotechnical structures.

Thus, in February 2022, the Company filed with the relevant bodies a request for an extension to perform the projects and, as a result, signed a Term of Commitment establishing legal and technical certainty for the process of de-characterization of the upstream dams, considering that the deadline defined was technically unfeasible, especially due to the necessary actions to increase safety during the works. With the signing of the agreement, the Company recorded an additional provision of R$192 (US$37 million) to make investments in social and environmental projects over a period of 8 years.

In addition, due to the de-characterization projects, the Company has suspended some operations due to judicial decisions or technical analysis performed by Vale on its upstream dam structures located in Brazil. The Company has been recording losses in relation to the operational stoppage and idle capacity of the ferrous mineral segment in the amounts of R$823 (US$161 million) for the period ended June 30, 2022 (2021: R$1,046 (US$193 million)). The Company is working on legal and technical measures to resume all operations at full capacity.

(b.i) Tax proceedings - PIS/COFINS

 

The Company is a party to several collections related to the alleged improper use of PIS and COFINS credits (federal taxes levied on the companies' gross revenue). Brazilian tax legislation authorizes taxpayers to use PIS and COFINS tax credits, such as those referring to the acquisition of inputs for the production process and other items. The tax authorities mainly claim that (i) some credits were not related to the production process, and (ii) the right to use the tax credits was not adequately proven. In the current period the Company received new proceedings in the amount of R$2,070 (US$395 million), for which the likelihood of loss is deemed possible.

 

(b.ii) Tax proceedings - Value added tax on services and circulation of goods (“ICMS”)

 

Vale is engaged in several administrative and court proceedings relating to additional charges of ICMS by the tax authorities of different Brazilian states. In each of these proceedings, the tax authorities claim that (i) use of undue tax credit; (ii) failing to comply with certain accessory obligations; (iii) the Company is required to pay the ICMS on acquisition of electricity (iv) operations related to the collection of tax rate differential (“DIFAL”) and (v) incidence of ICMS on its own transportation. During 2022, the Company received new proceedings in the amount of R$453 (US$86 million), for which the likelihood of loss is deemed possible.

26.       Employee post-retirement obligations

a) Long-term incentive programs

 

The Company has long-term reward mechanisms that include the Matching Program and the Performance Shares Units (“PSU”) for eligible executives to retain and stimulate their performance.

 

On March 30, 2022, a new Matching program started and the fair value estimate was based on the Company's share price and their respective ADRs at the grant date, which was R$95.87 and US$20.03 per share. The Company will grant 1,437,588 shares for the new cycle (2021: 1,046,255 shares). The fair value of the program will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the required three-month period of service, net of estimated losses.
