Dear Shareholders,

 

BRF´s performance in the third quarter of 2014 highlights the consistency of the Company´s results, accompanying the fast rate of progress we have laid down and reaping the rewards of the structural review we started to introduce a year ago. We are eliminating inefficiencies, have become more proficient and are gaining more agility in the decision-making process, through a structured management approach which is reflected in the operating figures we present in this report.

 

In Brazil, the go-to-market project has allowed us to expand our client network and take advantage of the cross-selling opportunities for our brands. The higher sales volume in 3Q14 is a result of this effort. At the same time, we have achieved important improvements in our service level, which showed an important increase of 13 percentage points over the beginning of the year when measured by the OTIF (on time, in full) index.

 

Our latest launches of the Sadia brand, such as the Assa Fácil and Soltíssimo line, are continuing to receive a warm welcome from consumers. We also had the launch of a new campaign of franks produced by Perdigão, a brand which we are enthusiastic about, particularly due to the prospect of its return in certain categories next year, under the decisions and timetable established by Brazil´s anti-trust authority, the CADE, when it approved the merger.

 

In the International market, we had a particularly solid quarter. This performance was in line with the series of initiatives that came into force during the year. These included optimizing volumes, enhancing the profitability of the main markets, as well as the strategy of acquiring distributors in the Middle East. Other relevant operational improvements included reductions in sea freight, increased phasing of shipments during the month and improved mix of markets. We emphasize that all these actions bring us confidence that the solid results obtained in 3Q14 were largely structural.

 

It is also worth recalling that we concluded the construction of the plant in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. The official inauguration on November 26 will celebrate the Company´s expansion towards strategic markets and, above all, our efforts to transform BRF into an organization that is active globally.

 

The 3Q14 was also marked by the signing of a binding memorandum of understandings (“MoU”) with Parmalat S.p.A., a member of Groupe Lactalis, establishing the terms and conditions for the sale of the Dairy business for R$1.8 billion. We expect this transaction to close by the first half of 2015 and do not anticipate relevant impacts in results. This operation, along with the sale of the beef assets, finalized on October 1, formed part of the strategy of divesting assets that are not part of our core business, in line with our aim of continuously improving the return on invested capital of the Company.

Management Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

On September 25, the Board of Directors also approved the appointment of Pedro Faria as the Company´s Global CEO as of January 2, 2015 when Claudio Galeazzi will step down from the position. Pedro Faria has dedicated himself to the transition of the command of the Company with the support of the Board and the executive management. He has also gained great credibility, confirmed by the results he has presented as head of our international operations, along with his performance as a member of our Board for three years.

 

The BRF we are delivering this quarter is also a Company that is heading towards a unique culture, with well-defined identity and values, based on meritocracy, pride in ownership, focused on results, dedicated to its clients and consumers, and working as a team. A company that is structured to present the growing results we have outlined and to deliver new and even more ambitious steps.

HIGHLIGHTS 

 


Highlights 3rd Quarter 2014 (3Q14)

 

Strategic Highlights

·       Following the roll out in 1H14 of the consolidation of the sales force in the small retail shops, the initial stage of the go-to-market (GTM) strategy in Brazil, the volume sold in the region started expanding. There was an increase of 3.4% y/y and 8.6% q/q in 3Q14, already excluding the impact of other sales.

·       This result also reflects the process of improving the Company´s service level, which showed an important rise of 13 percentage points over the beginning of the year when measured by the OTIF (on time, in full) index.

·       The portfolio rationalization project was concluded, with the elimination of the production of 35.0% of the SKUs (stock keeping unit) in Brazil and 32.0% on the International market, thereby favoring the simplification of the Company´s processes.

·       On the international front, our strategy of optimizing volumes and the profitability of the markets continued to pay off. In 3Q14, operating results showed structural improvements.

 

Financial Highlights and Recent Transactions

·       The Zero Based Budget (ZBB) continued to have a positive impact on the Company´s results, with lower costs and expenses in 3Q14 than in 3Q13 and 2Q14, in absolute and relative terms.

·         The Company´s EBITDA came to R$1.2 billion, +61.3% y/y and +21.3% q/q, with a margin of 15.2% compared with 9.9% in 3Q13 and 13.0% in 2Q14.

·       Net income came to R$624 million, +117.5% y/y and +133.7% q/q, with a margin of 7.8% compared with 3.8% in 3Q13 and 3.5% in 2Q14.

·         The investments carried out in 3Q13 totaled R$512 million, +35.6% a/a. In the nine months of 2014 (9M14), BRF invested R$1.3 billion, below the R$1.4 billion invested in 9M13. We continue to direct investments to automation, logistics and systems (IT).

·         The Company ended the quarter with a net debt/EBITDA ratio (last 12 months) of 1.40x compared with 1.51x in 2Q14.

·         We signed a binding memorandum of understandings (“MoU”) on 09.03.2014 with Parmalat S.p.A., a company belonging to Groupe Lactalis, establishing the terms and conditions for the sale of the Dairy business, for R$1.8 billion. We expect this transaction to close by the first half of 2015 and do not anticipate relevant impacts on results (please refer to Explanatory Note 1.2 of the ITR Quarterly Information Report of 09.30.2014 and Material Fact of 09.03.2014).

·         We concluded the sale of the two beef slaughtering plants and from 10.01.2014 held 29,000,000 shares in Minerva, equivalent to approximately 16.29% of its total and voting capital stock.

BRF S.A. Results

 

1)   Net Operating Revenues (NOR)

 

 

NOR - R$ Million  3Q14  3Q13  y/y  2Q14  q/q 
Brazil  3,451  3,194  8.0%  3,312  4.2% 
International  3,374  3,249  3.8%  3,292  2.5% 
Dairy  767  760  0.9%  703  9.2%

Total  7,981  7,578  5.3%  7,691  3.8% 

 

 

Consolidated net operating revenues (NOR) came to R$8.0 billion in 3Q14, +5.3% y/y, boosted by the Brazilian operations, thanks to a higher growth in volumes in the country. A q/q comparison shows the NOR expanded by 3.8%.

 

Ø  Brazil

 

The results registered in Brazil in 3Q14 reflect the first effects of our projects in this market: the consolidation of the sales force in the small retail, which was finalized in May, the simplification of processes by cutting SKUs, and the gradual improvement in the service level have started to take off, translating into higher revenues. BRF has already started to expand the number of point of sales served (+22.0% since the end of 2013) and also achieve greater cross-selling amongst the brands. We maintain our expectation that the results from the abovementioned projects shall accelerate in the next years.

NOR in Brazil amounted to R$3.5 billion in 3Q14, +8.0% y/y, driven by an increase in volumes of 5.2% y/y, basically due to the good performance of the small retail channel. On a q/q comparison, NOR rose by 4.2% and volumes by 4.5%. We note that in 3Q14 we have maintained average prices relatively stable in relation to 2Q14.

 

If we exclude the other sales from the analysis, the numbers in the quarter give a better picture of the real scenario in Brazil, with NOR of R$3.2 billion, +8.5% y/y and +5.8% q/q, potentialized by a growth in volumes of +3.4% y/y and +8.6% q/q. It should be stressed that these results were achieved against a challenging retail scenario, particularly in the large chains.

 

With regards to market share, BRF maintained its outstanding lead in the Processed Meat, Frozen products, Pizza and Margarine (core businesses). The Company upheld its decision to preserve profitability and continue with its strategy of structured growth.

Ø  International

 

There was a sharp rise in pork prices in the quarter due to the lower supply in North America, caused mainly by the PED virus. Beef prices also continued their upward trend, due to the cattle cycle. Finally, the poultry segment was also affected by higher prices of substitute proteins and prices also rose in turn. It is worth noting that the Russian sanctions imposed on the United States, the European Union, Canada, Australia and Norway had a direct impact on the flow of trade and price of proteins on the international front at the end of the quarter.

In this context, our strategies of optimizing volumes and the profitability of the markets continued to bring positive results. There was a structural improvement in all regions in 3Q14 (both y/y and q/q) with the exception of the Americas, more specifically Venezuela, where we decreased the volume sold, and Eurasia, as our plants were banned from exporting to Russia until the end of August (further details appear later in this report).

International NOR in 3Q14 amounted to R$3.4 billion, +3.8% y/y, boosted by an average price in reais 12.9% higher y/y (+13.7% y/y in dollar terms), although there was a decline in the volume sold of 8.0% y/y. A q/q comparison shows the NOR rose by 2.5%, due to an average price in reais that was 0.5% higher q/q (-1.5% q/q in dollar terms) and slightly higher volumes (+1.9% q/q).

 

We present some comment on BRF´s main markets below:

 

·         Middle East: The sales volume came to 236 thousand tons, +10.0% y/y (+6.6% q/q), while the NOR amounted to R$1.3 billion, +18.3% y/y (+8.2% q/q). The improvement was due to the Company´s higher participation in important markets such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Yemen.

 

·         Asia: The volume sold amounted to 133 thousand tons, +4.0% y/y (+7.8% q/q), while the NOR came to R$827 million, +26.4% y/y (+13.6% q/q). This increase was brought about by more adjusted inventories in Japan which led to price stability, as well as better average price in other markets in the region.

 

·         Europe: The sales volume was 68 thousand tons, a decline of 7.7% y/y (+3.4% q/q), while NOR totaled R$585 million, +12.0% y/y (+2.4% q/q). The positive period this market is experiencing, along with a healthier supply and demand balance, has configured good opportunities for the Company in terms of average prices.

 

·         Eurasia: The volume sold to the region came to 13 thousand tons and was 64.7% lower y/y (-41.2% q/q). This had a negative effect on NOR, which came to R$147 million and was 41.0% lower y/y (-38.7% q/q). The Russian government banned the import of pork from our plants in June, a decision that remained in place during most part of the quarter, justifying the steep fall in volume sold to the region in the period. In August, Russia then banned imports of poultry, pork and beef products, amongst others, from the United States, the European Union, Canada, Australia and Norway, a move that led to big hikes in prices in the country. As an alternative supplier for its imports, Russia allowed a number of Brazilian plants to export pork and poultry, including some of ours. As a result, it should be noted that the Company began redirecting volumes to Russia only in September, when our plants were allowed to export to that country.

·         Africa: The sales volume came to 58 thousand tons, a decline of 7.9% y/y (+19.0% q/q), due to the Company´s strategy of optimizing volumes. The region´s NOR was R$241 million, +4.1% y/y (+20.7% q/q).

 

·         Americas: The volume sold was 63 thousand tons, a fall of 39.1% y/y (-19.2% q/q). This decline had a negative impact on NOR, which came to R$387 million, a decrease of 35.1% y/y (-15.4% q/q). These reductions were caused by the strategy of lowering shipments to Venezuela.

 

Ø  Dairy

NOR from Dairy in 3Q14 registered R$767 million, +0.9% y/y, boosted by an average price rise of 9.0% y/y. The volume declined by 7.5% y/y as a result of the Company´s strategy of pursuing profitability in terms of the sales mix. A q/q comparison shows the NOR expanded by 9.2%, following an increase in volume of 7.2%, along with a rise of 1.8% in the average price.

 

Ø  Food Services

 

The Food Services results in 3Q14 highlighted the recovery of revenues, driven by higher volumes thanks to better Company execution. We note, however, that the pricing scenario remains challenging, considering the current level of inflation in the food consumed outside the home. Additionally, it is worth noting that the Company´s average price was also impacted by the change in the mix of products aiming at a higher profitability, given the lower volume of in natura beef.

 

Food Services R$ Million Thousand Tons  Average Price - R$
3Q14 3Q13 y/y 2Q14 q/q 3Q14 3Q13 y/y 2Q14 q/q 3Q14 3Q13 y/y  2Q14  q/q

Food Services posted NOR of R$389 million in 3Q14, +3.9% y/y, driven higher by an increase of 3.0% y/y in volumes, particularly in the elaborated/processed categories, along with a rise in the average price of 0.9% y/y, mainly in the elaborated/processed products. In a q/q comparison, NOR rose by 1.4%, due to a rise in volume of 3.9% even though the average price fell by 2.5%.

2)  Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

 

COGS - R$ Million  3Q14  3Q13  y/y  2Q14  q/q 
COGS  (5,642)  (5,666)  (0.4%)  (5,647)  (0.1%) 
% of the NOR  (70.7%)  (74.8%)  4.1 p.p.  (73.4%)  2.7 p.p. 
COGS/Kg  (4.05)  (3.97)  2.2%  (4.21)  (3.8%) 

 

Our COGS in 3Q14 came to R$5.6 billion, equivalent to 70.7% of NOR compared with 74.8% in 3Q13 and 73.4% in 2Q14. All business units had a positive contribution to this result.

 

There was a fall of 0.4% over 3Q13 in the COGS y/y, due to the lower cost of grains and milk collection. Despite the fall in absolute terms, the COGS/kg ratio rose slightly in the period (+2.2% y/y) as our volumes fell by 2.6%. (It is worth noting that the strategy of reducing volumes that got underway from the end of 2013 led to a smaller dilution of the plants´ fixed costs.)

 

The COGS remained stable in relation to 2Q14 in absolute terms. In terms of COGS/kg, we would point out that it fell by 3.8% q/q, while volumes were 3.8% higher q/q. Costs that eased in the period included grains and milk collection.

 

It is worth mentioning that the benefit from the lower grain costs was not fully captured in the period, particularly in Brazil, where our mix of products consists mostly of pork or is a result of the processing of this raw material, which has a longer cycle. In relation to the poultry chain, we were able to capture the benefit considering this protein has a shorter cycle.

Ø  Slaughtering and Production

 

There was a decline of 6.4% y/y in poultry slaughtering activities in 3Q14, reflecting our strategy of optimizing volumes, especially in the International market. A q/q comparison shows an increase of 8.2%. Pork/beef slaughtering activities were 1.4% lower y/y, mainly as a result of our strategy of deverticalizing the beef business. A q/q comparison shows an increase of 2.1%.

 

We produced 1.3 million tons of food in 3Q14, a volume that was 3.7% lower y/y. A q/q comparison shows that the volume registered was 8.1% higher.

 

Production  3Q14 3Q13 y/y 2Q14 q/q
Poultry Slaughter (Million Heads)  432  461  (6.4%)  399  8.2% 
Hog/ Cattle Slaughter (Thousand Heads)  2,456  2,492  (1.4%)  2,407  2.1% 
Production (Thousand Tons)  1,341  1,393  (3.7%)  1,240  8.1%

* Volumes of Meat of 3Q13 changed from 1,053.2 to 1,050.4 due to a corretion in volume of Argentina's production   
** Volumes of Other Processed Products of 3Q13 changed from 135.2 to 134.7 due to a correction in volumes of Argentina's production. 

 

3)  Gross Profit

 

 

Gross Profit - R$ Million  3Q14 3Q13 y/y 2Q14 q/q

Gross Margin (%)  29.3%  25.2%  4.1 p.p.  26.6%  2.7 p.p. 

 

As previously described, BRF is reporting more robust figures, which culminated into a gross profit of R$2.3 billion in 3Q14, +22.3% y/y and +14.5% q/q. The gross margin was 29.3% in 3Q14 compared with 25.2% in 3Q13 and 26.6% in 2Q14. All business units had a positive contribution to this result, especially the International market.

Management Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

Operating Expenses - R$ Million  3Q14  3Q13  y/y  2Q14  q/q 
Selling Expenses  (1,129)  (1,173)  (3.8%)  (1,137)  (0.7%) 

% of the NOR 

(14.1%)  (15.5%)  1.3 p.p.  (14.8%)  0.6 p.p. 
General and Administrative Expenses  (104)  (118)  (11.7%)  (109)  (4.6%) 

% of the NOR 

(1.3%)  (1.6%)  0.3 p.p.  (1.4%)  0.1 p.p. 
Operating Expenses  (1,233)  (1,291)  (4.5%)  (1,246)  (1.0%) 

% of the NOR 

(15.4%)  (17.0%)  1.6 p.p.  (16.2%)  0.7 p.p. 

 

In 3Q14, our operating expenses came to R$1.2 billion, showing a continuous decline in the quarter (-4.5% y/y and -1.0% q/q). This is a result of better expenses management (reflecting part of the results obtained from the ZBB project), and was possible even with higher marketing and trade marketing investments, a practice that has been adopted since the beginning of the year.

 

In percentage terms, the operating expenses represented 15.4% of NOR in 3Q14 compared with 17.0% in 3Q13 and 16.2% in 2Q14. It is important to highlight that such expenses dilution was evidenced in Brazil, the International market, Dairy and Food Services business units (regarding dilution in Food Services, we refer to the annual comparison).

 

*The aim of the ZBB is to review the Company´s budget expenses, giving priority to those activities and processes that are essential to the business. The accumulated results in the 9M14 period already show improvements from this project and we should have additional improvements to be captured by December of this year, at least. The main measure adopted was the review of the headcount and administrative expenses which were concluded in 2Q14.

 

 

5)  Other Operating Results

 

Other Operating Results - R$ Million  3Q14  3Q13  y/y  2Q14  q/q 
Other Operating Revenues  23  21  8.5%  145  (84.2%) 
Other Operating Expenses  (236)  (176)  33.7%  (262)  (10.1%) 
Other Operating Results  (213)  (155)  37.1%  (117)  81.1% 
% of the NOR  (2.7%)  (2.0%)  (0.6) p.p.  (1.5%)  (1.1) p.p. 

 

The other operating results line showed an expense of R$ 213 million in 3Q14. There was an increase of 37.1% y/y, due mainly to the higher spending on restructuring and other provisions. There was an increase of 81.1% q/q in relation to 2Q14, mainly arising from the fact that, in 2Q14 there was a non-recurring gain from the sale of the pork asset at Carambeí, which positively impacted the other operating results line in that quarter.

The consolidated EBIT in 3Q14 was R$902 million, +94.3% y/y, with a positive contribution from all business units, particularly the International market. The consolidated margin was 11.3% compared with 6.1% in 3Q13.

 

The q/q comparison shows that EBIT expanded by 30.5%, while margin expanded 2.3 p.p. q/q.

EBIT Margin (%)  11.1%  8.6%  2.5 p.p.  11.6%  (0.5) p.p.

 

EBIT from the Brazilian operations reached R$383 million, +39.2% y/y and -0.4% q/q, with a margin of 11.1% compared with 8.6% in 3Q13 and 11.6% in 2Q14. It is worth stressing that, Brazilian operations showed improvements in costs and expenses, with exception of the “Other Operating Results” line, which made it difficult to compare the EBIT margin on a quarterly basis (refer to section “Other Operating Results”).

 

Ø  International

 

International - R$ Million  3Q14  3Q13  y/y  2Q14  q/q

EBIT Margin (%)  12.2%  4.0%  8.3 p.p.  7.8%  4.5 p.p. 

 

EBIT from International operations was R$413 million, +221.7% y/y and +61.7% q/q, with a margin of 12.2% compared with 4.0% in 3Q13 and 7.8% in 2Q14. As we have mentioned previously, there was a structural improvement in all regions in 3Q14, with the exception of the Americas (Venezuela) and Eurasia (we only started to benefit from the impact of Russia opening its market to Brazil in September.)

In addition to the volume optimization decision, as well as the strategy of acquiring distributors in the Middle East, we would highlight among the main structural improvements on the International market: important reductions in sea freight, better phasing of shipments during the month (which brings greater predictability and savings), and enhanced “mix” of markets.

 

Ø  Dairy

 

Dairy - R$ Million  3Q14  3Q13  y/y  2Q14  q/q 
NOR  767  760  0.9%  703  9.2%

EBIT from Dairy operations came to R$68 million, +98.9% y/y and +160.2% q/q, with a margin of 8.9% compared with 4.5% in 3Q13 and 3.7% in 2Q14. This result was influenced by lower milk collection costs, greater efficiency and greater dilution of expenses.

 

 

Ø  Food Services

 

Food Services - R$ Million  3Q14  3Q13  y/y  2Q14  q/q 
NOR  389  374  3.9%  384  1.4%

EBIT from Food Services was R$38 million, +43.0% y/y and +49.0% q/q, with a margin of 9.9% compared with 7.2% in 3Q13 and 6.7% in 2Q14. This result was influenced by lower grains costs, greater efficiency and greater dilution of expenses (regarding the expenses dilution, we refer to the annual comparison).

 

 

7)  Net Financial Results

Net Financial Income (Expenses)  (200)  (127)  57.1%  (394)  (49.3%) 

 

Net financial expenses came to R$200 million in the quarter, +57.1% y/y, impacted by interest on leasing and the adjustment to present value line. There was a fall of 49.3% over 2Q14, mainly because of the Company’s long term liability management in 2Q14 (bonds repurchase).

Management Report / Comments on the Performance

 

 

The use of non-derivative and derivative financial instruments for foreign exchange protection permits a significant reduction in net currency exposure in the balance sheet. We moved from a currency exposure impacting the result of US$37 million “long” in 2Q14 to US$36 million “long” in 3Q14; in other words, we are practically neutral in relation to currency exposure (please refer to Explanatory Note 4.1.d).

 

On 09.30.14, the non-derivative financial instruments designated as hedge accounting for the currency cover of the cash flow accounted to US$ 600 million. Furthermore, the derivative financial instruments designated as hedge accounting, in the cash flow hedge concept for covering highly likely exports, came to US$870 million, €74 million and £22 million, in their respective currencies. These instruments also made a direct contribution to the reduction in the currency exposure. In both cases, the unrealized result from the exchange rate variation was accounted in Other Comprehensive Income.

Net Debt/EBITDA Evolution

 

The Company´s net debt came to R$5.4 billion, 5.5% higher than in 06.30.14, bringing a net debt/EBITDA ratio (in the last 12 months) to 1.40x compared with 1.51x in 2Q14. The slight increase in the net debt q/q was due mainly to the payment of interest on capital and the exchange rate variation.

 

9)  Investments (Capex)

 

 

Capex (9M14): R$1.3 billion

Capex (3Q14): R$512 million

 

Investments carried out in the quarter came to R$512 million, an increase of 35.6% y/y. This amount also includes R$130 million in investments in biological assets (breeding stock). We continue to direct investments to automation, logistics, and IT systems.

10)  Financial Cycle

 

Financial Cycle

(Acc. Receivable + Stocks – Acc. Payable)/NOR

 

 

The Company has been focusing on optimizing its working capital, leading to an improvement in the financial cycle to 41.1 days at the end of 3Q14 from 56.2 days at the end of 3Q13. In percentage terms, it came to 10.8% of NOR in 3Q14, compared with 14.0% in 3Q13. This improvement reflects the results of the important projects established within the Company, particularly in the accounts payable and receivable lines.

 

A comparison with 2Q14 shows our working capital was mainly impacted by the rebuilding of grain inventories, as well as the increase in the inventories of finished products in Brazil (commemorative items).

 

 

11) Simplified Cash Flow

 

The simplified cash flow (EBITDA – Financial Cycle Variation – Capex) came to R$459 million in 3Q14, reflecting the Company´s operating improvement in the period. However, it fell by 51.9% q/q, mainly because of the increase in inventories mentioned in the “Financial Cycle” section, which had a negative effect on the working capital in the quarter.

The equity income result from the results of affiliates and Joint Ventures represented a gain of R$8 million in 3Q14 compared to the loss of R$2 million in 3Q13. This corresponds to an increase of R$6 million y/y, primarily reflecting the results from the Up! Alimentos Ltda. affiliate.

Income tax and social contributions came to an expense of R$83 million in 3Q14 compared with R$44 million in 3Q13, representing an effective rate of 11.8% and 13.0%, respectively. The main factors that lead the Company to present a lower effective rate than the nominal figure are related to the fiscal benefit in the payment of interest on capital, subventions for investments and the results of subsidiaries located overseas (please refer to Explanatory Note 13.3).

 

14)  Non-Controlling Shareholders

 

The result attributed to non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries in Argentina, the Middle East and Europe, represented revenues of R$5 million in 3Q14 compared with R$6 million in 3Q13.

In relation to 2Q14, net income grew 133.7% q/q, with a net margin expansion of 4.3 p.p.. Nevertheless, it is worth highlighting that in 2Q14 we incurred in non-recurring financial expenses related to the Company’s long term liability management process (bonds repurchase), as detailed in the “Financial Results” section, which should be taken into account for the q/q analysis.

Marketing and Innovation

 

We announced the launch of two products that were responsible for raising the Company´s modern and innovative profile in 3Q14.

 

Among the highlights was the launch of Frango Fácil Sadia, a breakthrough that reinvented the roast chicken concept. The film of the product was seen by 91% of consumers and showed a strong link with the Sadia brand, with a positive impact, relevance, understanding and purchasing intention.

 

We also had the launch of the first aerated margarine in Brazil, Qualy Aéra. The campaign was seen by 88% of consumers (high visibility), showed a strong connection with the Qualy brand and was regarded as interesting and original.

 

Another event in 3Q14 was the release of the BrandZ*study containing the ranking of the 50 most valuable brands in Latin America and Brazil. The Sadia brand was the most valuable in Brazil in the food category, followed by Perdigão.

Another highlight related to the Company´s human capital in 3Q14 was the work in training employees on aspects of the ongoing obligatory, legal and health and safety at work standards.

 

Health and Safety at Work (SSMA)

 

The Health and Safety at Work Supervision (known as SSMA) continues to make considerable progress. In August 2014, the lowest rate of accidents with work stoppage in the history of BRF´s SSMA registered a Frequency Rate (FR) of 0.89.

2.            MANAGEMENT’S STATEMENT AND BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The Company’s consolidated quarterly financial information is prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil which comprise the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (“CVM”) and the pronouncements and interpretations of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”), which are in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

The Company’s individual quarterly financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and for presentation purposes, is identified as “BR GAAP”. Such information differs from IFRS in relation to the evaluation of investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, which were measured and

recorded based on the equity pick-up accounting method rather than at cost or fair value, as required by IFRS. 

 

The Company’s individual and consolidated quarterly financial information are expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais (“R$”), as well as the amounts of other currencies disclosed in the quarterly financial information, when applicable, were also expressed in thousands. The information of results is shown by its cumulative result compared to the same period last year.

 

The preparation of the Company’s quarterly financial information requires Management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosures of contingent liabilities as of the reporting date. However, the uncertainty inherent to these judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in material adjustments to the carrying amounts of the affected assets and liabilities in future periods.

 

The settlement of the transactions involving such estimates can result in amounts significantly different from those recorded in the quarterly financial information due to the lack of precision inherent to the estimation process. The Company reviews its judgments, estimates and assumptions on a quarterly basis.

 

The individual and consolidated quarterly financial information were prepared based on the historical cost except for the following material items:

 

(i)     derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, being changes to fair value recognized through the statement of income;

(ii)    available for sale financial assets; and

 

(iii)  share-based payments and employee benefits measured at fair value.

 

 

3.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The quarterly financial information was prepared according to CVM Deliberation No. 673/11, which establishes the minimum content of interim financial statements and the principles for measurement and recognition of a full or condensed set of financial statements for an interim period.

 

The interim financial statements, in this case denominated as quarterly financial information, aims to provide updated information based on the last annual financial statements disclosed. Therefore, the quarterly financial information is focused on new activities, events and circumstances and do not duplicate the information previously disclosed, except in the case where Management judged that the maintenance of the information was relevant. Following this assumption, the Company informs that in 2014,

ITR – Quarterly Information – September 30, 2014 – BRF S.A.

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

in addition to measuring the adjustment to present value the balances of non-current trade accounts receivable, social obligations and other obligations, also started to measure the present value adjustment for balances of current trade accounts receivable and current and non-current trade accounts payable.  This enhancement in accounting policy resulted from the efforts made to reduce the working capital and on capital invested, which resulted mainly in increased average payment of suppliers.

 

The current quarterly financial information was consistently prepared based on the accounting policies and estimates calculation methodology adopted in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 (note 3).

 

There were no changes of any nature related to such policies and estimates calculation methodology.  As allowed by CVM Deliberation No. 673/11, Management decided not to disclose again the details of the accounting policies adopted by the Company. Hence, the quarterly financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, in order to allow the users of this financial information to further understand the Company’s capacity of profit and future cash flows generation as well as its financial conditions and liquidity.

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

 

 

·         The Board of Directors is responsible for approving the Risk Policy and defining the limits of tolerance of the different risks identified as acceptable for the Company on behalf of its shareholders;

 

·         The Financial Risk Management Committee is in charge of the execution of the Risk Policy, which comprises the supervision of the risk management process, planning and verification of the impacts of the decisions implemented, as well as the evaluation and approval of hedging strategies and monitoring the risk exposure levels to ensure compliance with Risk Policy;

 

·         The Board of Executive Officers is in charge of the evaluation of the Company’s exposure for each identified risk, according to the guidelines established by the Board of Directors; and

 

·         The Risk Management area has as a crucial role in monitoring, evaluating and reporting of the financial risks taken by the Company.

 

The Risk Policy does not authorize the Company’s management to contract leveraged derivative transactions and determines that any individual hedge operations (notional amount) must not exceed 2.5% of the Company’s shareholders’ equity.

 

The processes of monitoring, evaluation and approval of risk management were properly disclosed in the details in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 (note 4) and has not changed during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014.

On September 30, 2014, the Company had financial investments over R$10,000 at the following financial institutions: Banco BNP, Banco Bradesco, Banco do Brasil, Banco do Nordeste, Banco HSBC, Banco Itaú, Banco Safra, Banco Santander, Banco Votorantim and Caixa Econômica Federal.

b.            Liquidity risk management

 

Liquidity risk management aims to reduce the impacts caused by events which may affect the Company’s cash flow. Thus, the Company utilizes the following metrics:

 

·         Cash Flow at Risk (“CFaR”), which aims to statistically estimates the cash flows for the next twelve months and the Company’s liquidity exposure. The Company determined that the minimum cash available should be equivalent mainly to the average monthly billing and EBITDA for the last twelve-month period; and

 

·         Value at Risk ("VaR") is used for derivative transactions that require payments of periodic adjustments. Currently, the Company holds only BM&F operations with daily adjustments and in order to monitor them, such methodology is utilized, which statistically measures potential maximum adjustments to be paid at intervals of 1 to 21-days.

 

The Company maintains its leverage levels in order to avoid any impact to its ability to settle commitments and obligations. As a guideline, the majority of the debt should be in long term. On September 30, 2014, the long term debt portion represented 76.6% (73.5% as of December 31, 2013) of the total outstanding debt with an average term greater than 5.2 years.

 

The table below summarizes the commitments and contractual obligations that may impact the Company’s liquidity:

c.            Interest rate risk management

 

It is the risk the Company incurs in economic losses resulting from changes in interest rates, which could affect its assets and liabilities.

 

The Company’s Risk Policy does not restrict exposure to different interest rates, neither establishes limits for fixed or floating rates. However, the Company continually monitors the market interest rates, in order to evaluate any need to enter into hedging transaction to protect from the exposure to fluctuation such rates and manage the mismatch between its financial investments and debts. In these transactions the Company enters into contracts that exchange floating rate for fixed rate or vice-versa. Such transactions were designated by the Company as cash flow hedge.

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

 

 

The Company’s indebtedness is essentially tied to the London Interbank Offered rate ("LIBOR"), fixed coupon (“R$ and USD”), Long Term Interest Rate ("TJLP") and Monetary Unit of the Bank National Economic and Social Development ("UMBNDES") rates. In case of adverse changes in the market that result in LIBOR hikes, the cost of the floating indebtedness rises and on the other hand, the cost of the fixed indebtedness decreases in relative terms. The same consideration is applicable to the TJLP and UMBNDES.

 

With regards to the Company's marketable securities, they are remunerated based Interbank Deposit Certificate ("CDI") in the domestic market and fixed coupon (“USD”) in the foreign market.

 

d.            Foreign exchange risk management

 

It is the risk related to variations of foreign exchange rates that may cause the Company to incur unexpected losses, leading to a reduction of assets or an increase in liabilities.

 

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are as follows:

The Company's net foreign exchange exposure as of September 30, 2014 corresponds to a liabilities amounting to US$16,418. Due to the impacts of the functional currency, net foreign exchange exposure is composed of: (i) an asset totaling US$35,894, which variations are recorded in statement of income and (ii) a liability totaling US$52,312, which variation are recognized in comprehensive income. On September 30, 2014, the net foreign exchange exposure is within the limit set by the Company's Risk Policy. 

 

e.            Commodity price risk management

 

In the normal course of its operations, the Company purchases commodities, mainly corn, soymeal and oil and live pork, which are some of the individual components of production cost.

 

Corn, soymeal and oil prices are subject to volatility resulting from weather conditions, crop yield, transportation and storage costs, government’s agricultural policy, foreign exchange rates and the prices of these commodities on the international market, among others factors. The prices of pork acquired from third parties are subject to market conditions and are influenced by internal availability and levels of demand in the international market, among other aspects.

 

The Risk Policy establishes limits for hedging the corn and soymeal purchase flow, aiming to reduce the impact resulting from a price increase of these raw materials, and may utilize derivative instruments or inventory management for this purpose. Currently, the management of inventory levels is used as a hedging instrument.

f.             Capital management

 

The Company’s definition of the adequate capital structure is mainly associated with (i) cash strength as a tolerance factor to liquidity volatility, (ii) financial leverage and (iii) maximization of the opportunity cost of capital.

 

The cash and liquidity strategy takes into consideration the historical scenarios of volatility of results as well as simulations of sectorial and systemic crises. In addition, is based on permitting the resilience in scenarios of restricted access to capital.

 

Financial leverage aims the balance between the different sources of funding and their conditions of allocation in order to maximize the opportunity cost to BRF in its business expansion initiatives. Moreover, the objective of maintaining the investment grade disciplines the weighting of using own and third party capital.

The Company designates as a cash flow hedge only the variation in the intrinsic value of its options, recognizing the time value of the premium in the financial result. If the hedge is not effective and the option is not exercised due to devaluation of the Brazilian Real, the losses related to the options will be registered as financial expenses in the statement of income.

 

The Company has designated transactions involving options denominated collar where there is a purchase of a put option ("PUT") and a sale of a call option ("CALL").

 

When the market price of any of the options is not available in an active market, the fair value is based on an option pricing model (Black-Scholes or Binomial).

·         The fair value is the price that an asset could be exchanged and a liability could be settled, between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction; and

 

·         Hierarchy on 3 levels for measurement of the fair value, according to observable inputs for the valuation of an asset or liability on the date of its measurement.

 

The valuation established on 3 levels of hierarchy for measurement of the fair value is based on observable and non-observable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while non-observable inputs reflect the Company’s valuation technics. These two types of inputs create the hierarchy of fair value set forth below:

 

·         Level 1 – Prices observed(unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

 

·         Level 2 – Prices observed in active markets for similar instruments, prices observed for identical or similar instruments in non-active markets and evaluation models for which inputs are observable; and

 

·         Level 3 – Instruments whose significant inputs are non-observable.

 

The table below presents the overall classification of financial assets and liabilities according to the valuation hierarchy.

·         Investments in Brazilian foreign debt securities, Financial Treasury Notes (“LFT”), financial investment funds and stocks are classified at Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as the market prices are available in an active market;

 

·         Investments in Bank Deposit Certificates (“CDB”) are classified at Level 2, since the determination of fair value is based on the price quotation of similar financial instruments in non-active markets; and

 

·         Derivative financial instruments are valued through existing pricing models widely accepted by financial market and described in appendix III of the Risk Policy. Readily observable market inputs are used, such as interest rate forecasts, volatility factors and foreign currency rates. These instruments are classified at Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy, including interest rates swap and foreign currency derivatives.

4.7.        Table of sensitivity analysis

 

The Company has financing, loans and receivables denominated in foreign currency and in order to mitigate the risks resulting from exchange rate exposure, it contracts derivative financial instruments.

 

The Company understands that the current interest rate fluctuations do not affect significantly its financial results, since it opted to fix the exchange rate of a considerable portion of its floating interest rates debts by using derivative transactions (interest rates swaps). The Company designates such derivatives as cash flow hedge and, therefore, their effectiveness is monitored through prospective and retrospective tests.

 

In the table presented below, 5 scenarios are considered for the next twelve-month period, considering the percentage variations of the quote of the parity between the Brazilian Reais and U.S. Dollar, Brazilian Reais and Euro and Brazilian Reais and Pounds Sterling, whereas the most likely scenario is that one adopted by the Company. The total of export sales analyzed corresponds to the total of derivative financial instruments increased by the amortization flow of PPEs designated as cash flow hedge.

Management expects inventories to be realized in a period of less than 12 months.

 

On September 30, 2014, inventory items of R$28,764 (R$50,000 as of December 31, 2013) were pledged as collateral for rural credit operations.

 

 

10.         BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

 

The biological assets of the Company are substantially represented by living animals which are segregated by the categories: poultry, pork and cattle. In addition, these categories are separated into consumable and for production.

 

In the Management’s opinion, the fair value of the biological assets is substantially represented by their cost, mainly due to the short life cycle of the animals and to the fact that a significant portion of the profitability of the Company’s products derives from the manufacturing process and not from obtaining in-natura meat (raw materials at slaughtering point). This opinion is supported by a fair value appraisal report prepared in 2013 by an independent appraiser, which shows a non-significant difference between the fair value and the cost of biological assets. Therefore, they were measured at weighted average cost.

 

During the three month period ended September 30, 2014, Management did not identify any event that could impact the business model or the assumptions utilized in the analysis performed in 2013.

(1)         The deferred tax asset on the business combination with Sadia was recognized on the difference of amortization between of goodwill tax basis and goodwill accounting basis. Deferred tax liabilities on the business combination with Sadia and Quickfood is substantially represented by the goodwill allocation in property, plant and equipment, trademarks and contingent liabilities.

 

Certain subsidiaries of the Company have tax loss carryforwards and negative basis of social contribution of R$18,362 and R$18,182, respectively, (R$18,493 and R$18,312 as of December 31, 2013), for which no deferred tax asset was recorded. If there was an expectation that such tax credits would be realized the amount to be recognized in the balance sheet would be R$6,227 (R$6,271 as of December 31, 2013).

 

On November 2013, it was published a Provisional Measure No. 627 establishing that non-tax incidence on profits and dividends calculated based on the results obtained between January 01, 2008 and December 31.2013, by legal entities taxed based on income, presumed or arbitrated profit, effectively paid up to the date of publication of such Provisional Measure, in amounts above to those measured in compliance with the applicable accounting methods and criteria on December 31, 2007, whether the legal entity that has paid dividends or profits had opted for early adoption of the new tax regime as from 2014.

On May 2014, such Provisional Measure was converted in to the Law No.12,973/14, introducing some measures concerning on the treatment of dividends, interest on shareholders’ equity and investments measured at equity method. Otherwise of Provisional Measure, the Law No.12,973/14 established the non-tax incidence unconditionally for profits and dividends calculated based on the results obtained between January 01, 2008 and December 31.2013

 

The Company prepared an analysis of the effects that would arise from Law No.12,973/14 and concluded there are no significant impacts on its financial statements of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and is assessing whether it will or not to choose for the anticipation of its effects, which must be manifested in the Declaration of Federal Tax Credits and Debits (“DCTF”), for the month of 2014 that has its deadline postponed to November 07, 2014.

 

 

13.2.      Estimated time of realization

 

Deferred tax arising from temporary differences will be realized as they are settled our realized. The period of the settlement or realization of such differences would not be properly estimated and is tied to several factors that are not under control of the Management.

 

When assessing the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets on income tax loss carryforward and negative calculation bases of social contribution tax, Management considers the Company’s budget, strategic plan and projected taxable income. Based on this estimate, Management believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax will be realized, as presented below.

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

 

The Company has determined that the earnings recorded by the holdings of its wholly-owned subsidiaries located abroad will not be redistributed. Such resources will be used for investments in the subsidiaries, and thus no deferred income tax was recognized. The total of undistributed earnings corresponds to R$1,637,333 as of September 30, 2014 (R$1,158,814 as of December 31, 2013).

 

 

Brazilian income taxes are subject to review for a 5-year period, during which the tax authorities might audit and assess the Company for additional taxes and penalties. Subsidiaries located abroad are taxed in their respective jurisdictions, according to local regulations.

37.         NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS RECENTLY ADOPTED

 

IAS 32 – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Review of IAS 32)

 

These reviews clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts" and the criteria that would cause the non-simultaneous settlement mechanisms of clearing houses to be qualified for offsetting. The company analyzed this standard and there is any impact in this quarterly information.

 

IAS 39 – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting (Review of IAS 39)

 

This review eases the discontinuation of hedge accounting when the novation of a derivative designated as a hedge meets certain criteria. The company analyzed this standard and there is any impact in this quarterly information.

 

IFRIC 21 – Levies

 

In May 2013, the IASB issued IFRIC 21, which provides guidance on when an entity should recognize a liability for a levy in accordance with laws and/or regulations in its financial statements, except for income taxes. The obligation should only be recognized when the event that triggers such obligation occurs. IFRIC 21 is an interpretation of IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. IAS 37 establishes criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement that the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, known as the obligating event. The company analyzed this standard and there is any impact in this quarterly information.

38.         NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT ADOPTED

 

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments

 

In October 2010, the IASB revised IFRS 9. The change of this standard addresses the first stage of the project of replacement of IAS 39 – Financial Instruments. The date of application of this standard was extended to January 1, 2015. The Company is evaluating the impacts of adopting this accounting pronouncement in its consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

 

On May 2015, the IASB issued IFRS 15, which establishes a five-model framework to be applied on revenue arising from a contract with a customer, regardless of the type of revenue or industry transaction. IFRS 5 applies to all revenue contracts and provides a model for the recognition and measurement of gains or losses on the disposal of certain non-financial assets that are not related to the normal activities of the entity, such as disposal of property, plant and equipment or intangible. Relevant disclosures are also required by this standard. IFRS 15 is effective for fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2017, early adoption is permitted.

 

 

39.         SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review Engagements (NBC TR 2410 Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade) and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity). A review of interim financial 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.

Other matters

 

Statements of value added

 

We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated statements of value added for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, prepared under the responsibility of  the Company’s management, the presentation of which in the interim financial information is required by the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to preparation of Quarterly Financial Information (ITR), and considered as supplementary information under IFRS – International Financial Reporting Standards, which does not require the presentation of the statement of value added. These statements have been subject to the same review procedures previously described and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they are not prepared, in all material respects, in a manner consistent with the overall individual and consolidated interim financial information.
