1.2.            Investigations involving BRF

The Company has been subject to two external investigations, denominated “Carne Fraca Operation” in 2017 and “Trapaça Operation” in 2018, as detailed below. The Company’s Audit and Integrity Committee conducted independent investigations, along with the Independent Investigation Committee, composed of external members and with external legal advisors in Brazil and abroad with respect to the allegations involving BRF employees and former employees in the scope of the aforementioned operations and other ongoing investigations.

For the three-month period ended on March 31, 2020, the main impacts observed as result of the referred investigations were recorded in other operating expenses in the amount of R$12,301 (R$11,113 on March 31, 2019), mostly related to expenditures with lawyers, legal advisors and consultants.

In addition to the impacts already registered, there are uncertainties about the outcome of these operations which may result in penalties, fines and normative sanctions, right restrictions and other forms of liabilities, for which the Company is not able to make a reliable estimate of the potential losses.

The outcomes may result in payments of substantial amounts, which may cause a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results and cash flows in the future.

 

1.2.1.       Carne Fraca Operation

On March 17, 2017, BRF became aware of a decision issued by a judge of the 14th Federal Court of Curitiba - Paraná, authorizing the search and seizure of information and documents, and the detention of certain individuals in the context of the Carne Fraca Operation. Two BRF employees were detained and subsequently released, as well as three others were identified for questioning.

In April 2017, the Brazilian Federal Police and the Brazilian federal prosecutors filed charges against BRF employees, which were accepted by the judge responsible for the process, and its main allegations in this phase involved misconduct related to improper offers and/or promises to government inspectors.

On June 04, 2018, the Company was informed about the establishment of a responsibility administrative process (“PAR”) by the Office of the Comptroller General (“CGU”), under the Law Nº 12,846/2013 (“Anti-corruption Law”), which aims to verify eventual administrative responsibilities related to the facts object of the criminal lawsuit Nº 5016879-04.2017.4.04.7000, (“Criminal Lawsuit”) in progress under the 14th Federal Court of the subsection of Curitiba/PR, as a consequence of the Carne Fraca Operation.

BRF has informed certain regulators and governmental entities, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) about the Carne Fraca Operation and is cooperating with such authorities, which are conducting their own investigations.

On September 28, 2018, the sentence of the Criminal Lawsuit in first instance was published, discharging one of the BRF employees and convicting a former employee for six months of detention with the possibility of substitution for a right-restricting penalty. The Brazilian federal prosecutors presented appeal to the first instance decision. The appeal is being analyzed by the Federal Regional Court of the 4th region.

 

1.2.2.       Trapaça Operation

On March 5, 2018, the Company learned of a decision issued by a judge of the 1st Federal Court of Ponta Grossa/PR, authorizing the search and seizure of information and documents due to allegations involving misconduct relating to quality violations, improper use of feed components and falsification of tests at certain BRF manufacturing plants and accredited labs. Such operation was denominated as Trapaça Operation. On March 5, 2018, BRF received notice from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (“MAPA”) immediately suspending exports from its Rio Verde/GO, Carambeí/PR and Mineiros/GO plants to 12 countries that require specific sanitary requirements for the control of the bacteria group Salmonella spp and Salmonella pullorum.

On May 14, 2018, the Company received the formal notice that twelve plants located in Brazil were removed from the list that permits imports of animal origin products by the European Union’s countries. The measure came into force as of May 16, 2018 and affects only the plants located in Brazil and which have export licenses to the European Union, not affecting the supply to other markets or other BRF plants located outside Brazil and that export to the European market.

On October 15, 2018, the Federal Police Department submitted to the 1st Federal Criminal Court of the Judicial Branch of Ponta Grossa PR the final report of its investigation in connection to the Trapaça Operation. The police inquiry indicted 43 people, including former key executives of the Company.

On December 04, 2019, the Public Prosecution filed charges against eleven people related to allegations about Premix (compound of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids for the inclusion of micro ingredients in the feed for the ideal nutrition of the animals) as outcome of the Trapaça Operation. No administration member, director or executive in current management position has been identified. Of the employees who were identified, only one person still remained active in his function and has preventively been removed after the filing of the charges, according to the current policy of the Company, which provides removal until the resolution of the case.

BRF informed certain regulators and government entities, including SEC and DOJ about the Trapaça Operation and has been cooperating with such authorities, which are conducting their own investigations.

 

1.2.3.       Governance enhancement

The Company is cooperating with the investigations and collaborates to the clarification of the facts. The Company has been taking actions to strengthen the compliance with its policies, procedures and internal controls. In this sense, the Company has decided to move away, independently of the results of the investigations, all employees mentioned in the Federal Police’s final report of the Trapaça Operation until all facts are clarified.

The Company believes that its efforts strengthens and consolidates its governance to ensure the highest levels of safety standards, integrity and quality.

Among the actions implemented, are: (i) strengthening in the risk management, specially compliance, (ii) continuous strengthening of the  Compliance, Internal Audit and Internal Controls departments, (iii) review and issuance of new policies and procedures specifically related to applicable anticorruption laws, (iv) review and enhancement of the procedures for reputational verification of business partners, (v) review and enhancement of the processes of internal investigation, (vi) expansion of the independent reporting channel, (vii) review of transactional controls, and (viii) review and issuance of new consequence policy for misconduct.

 

1.3.            U.S. Class Action

On March 12, 2018, a shareholder class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, some of its former managers and one current officer before the United States Federal District Court in the city of New York, on behalf of holders of American Depositary Receipts (“ADR”) between April 4, 2013 and March 5, 2018. The suit alleged violations of the federal securities laws of the United States related to allegations concerning, among other matters, Carne Fraca Operation and Trapaça Operation. On July 2, 2018, that Court appointed the City of Birmingham Retirement and Relief System lead plaintiff in the action. On October 25, 2019, the Court granted lead plaintiff leave to file a Fourth Amended Complaint, which was filed on November 8, 2019. On December 13, 2019, the served defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On January 21, 2020, the Lead Plaintiff filed its opposition motion and, on February 11, 2020, the defendants filed a response.

 

On March 27, 2020 the parties reached an agreement to settle this class action by payment of an amount equivalent to R$204,436 (USD40,000), to resolve all pending and prospective claims by individuals or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired BRF’s ADRs between April 4, 2013 and March 5, 2018. The settlement is subject to court ratification and execution of final settlement documentation.

 

The agreement does not constitute any admission of liability or wrongdoing by BRF or its executives and expressly provides that BRF denies any misconduct or that any plaintiff has suffered any damages or was harmed by any conduct alleged in this action.

 

The provision for the aforementioned amount was recognized in other operating expenses (note 27).

1.4.            Coronavirus (COVID-19)

On January 31, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the COVID-19 is a global health emergency and on March 11, 2020 declared it a global pandemic. The outbreak has triggered significant decisions from governments and private sector entities, which in addition to the potential impact, increased the uncertainty level for the economic agents and may cause effects in the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

BRF continues to operate its industrial complexes, distribution centers, logistics, supply chain and administrative offices, even if temporarily and partially under remote work regime in some of the corporate offices. Therefore, until the date of approval of the interim financial information, there has been no relevant change in its production plan, operation and/or commercialization. Additionally, management has developed and implemented contingency plans to maintain the operations and monitors the effects of the pandemic through a permanent multidisciplinary monitoring committee, formed by executives, specialists in the public health area and consultants.

Customers from certain regions and channels in which the Company runs businesses are being affected, mainly by the measures of social distancing imposed by authorities. The Company foresees an increase in the default rates during the second quarter of 2020 and a consequent increase in the expected credit losses. The impacts of these increase in the expected credit losses are registered in the interim financial information (note 6).

Aiming to preventively strengthen its liquidity level during this period of high volatility, additionally to the strategies described in note 24 and to the active revolving credit facility not disbursed (note 15.1), during March and April of 2020 the Company contracted and disbursed credit facilities with financial institutions in Brazil in the aggregate amount of, approximately, R$1,830,000 and average term of one year, without any financial covenant clause. Considering the current liquidity level, the additional initiatives mentioned above, other credit lines under negotiation and the perspectives for the short and medium term, the management does not foresee relevant impacts that could compromise the operating and financial capacity affecting the Company’s continuity.

The management also understands that the projections of results and cashflows used for the impairment test of the cash generating units are still substantially adequate and there is no need for recognizing losses until this moment. Due to the high volatility and uncertainty around the length and the impact of the pandemic, the Company will keep monitoring the situation and evaluating the impacts on assumptions and estimates used in preparing our financial reporting.

 

1.5.            Seasonality

During the months of November and December of each year, the Company is impacted by seasonality in the Brazil operating segment due to Christmas and New Year’s Celebrations. The products that are relevant contributors are: turkey, Chester®, ham and pork cuts (hind leg/pork loin).

In the International operating segment, seasonality is due to Ramadan, which is the holy month of the Muslim calendar. The beginning of Ramadan depends on the beginning of the moon cycle and in 2020 will be held between April 24, 2020 and May 23, 2020.

The parent company’s and consolidated interim financial information were prepared in accordance with the CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Statements and the IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB as well as with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”). All the relevant information applicable to the interim financial information, and only them, are being evidenced and correspond to those used by administration in its management.

The parent company’s and consolidated interim financial information are expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais (“R$”) and the disclosures of amounts in other currencies, when applicable, were also expressed in thousands, unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of the parent company’s and consolidated interim financial information require 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. The uncertainty inherent to these judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities in future periods.

Any judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed at each reporting period.

The parent company’s and consolidated interim financial information were prepared based on the recoverable historical cost, except for the following material items recognized in the statements of financial position:

(i)         derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments measured at fair value;

(ii)        share-based payments and employee benefits measured at fair value;

(iii)       biological assets measured at fair value; and

(iv)       assets held for sale in the cases the fair value is lower than historical cost.

The Company prepared parent company’s and consolidated financial statements under the going concern assumption and disclosed all relevant information in its explanatory notes, in order to clarify and complement the accounting basis adopted.

 

3.          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The interim financial information, in this case quarterly financial information, aim to provide updated information based on the last annual financial statements disclosed. Therefore, the quarterly financial information focus on new activities, events and circumstances and do not duplicate the information previously disclosed, except when Management judges that the maintenance of the information is relevant.

The interim financial information was prepared based on the accounting policies and estimates calculation methodologies adopted in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 (note 3).

There were no changes on such policies and estimates calculation methodologies. As allowed by CPC 21 (R1), Management decided not to disclose again the details of the accounting policies adopted by the Company. Hence, the interim financial information should be read along with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, in order to allow the users to further understand the Company’s financial conditions and liquidity, as well as its capacity to generate profits and cash flows.

10.2.        Estimated period of realization

Deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences will be realized as they are settled or realized. The period of settlement or realization of such differences is subject to externalities and is linked to several factors that are not under the control of Management.

In estimating the realization of deferred tax credits recorded on tax losses and negative social contribution basis, Management considers its budget and strategic plans, adjusted based on the estimates of the main tax additions and exclusions, which were approved by the Board of Directors as recommended by the Company’s Fiscal Council. Based on this estimate, Management believes that it is probable that these deferred tax credits will be realized, as shown below:

The Company’s management determined that the total profits recorded by the holdings of its wholly owned subsidiaries abroad will not be redistributed. Such funds will be used for investments in wholly owned subsidiaries.

Income tax returns in Brazil are subject to review by the tax authorities for a period of five years from the date of their delivery. The Company may be subject to additional collection of taxes, fines and interest as a result of these reviews. The results obtained by wholly owned subsidiaries abroad are subject to taxation in accordance with the tax laws of each country.

The Company has partnerships with several financial institutions that allow the suppliers to anticipate their receivables. The suppliers may choose whether to participate and if so, with which institution. The anticipation allows the suppliers to better manage their cash flow needs. This flexibility allows the Company to intensify its commercial relations with the network of suppliers by potentially leveraging benefits such as preference for supply in case of restricted supply, better price conditions and/or more flexible payment terms, among others, has not identified any material change in the existing commercial conditions with its suppliers. These operations are presented in the cash flow of operating activities.

On March 31, 2020, the discount rates applied to the supply chain finance transactions agreed between our suppliers and the financial institutions in the domestic market were set between 0.36% to 0.59% p.m. (0.38% to 0.67% p.m. on December 31, 2019).

23.      EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The basic earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing the earnings (losses) attributable to the owners of ordinary shares, by the weighted average quantity of available ordinary shares during the period.

Since the share price on March 31, 2020 is lower than the strike price, the options do not have a dilutive effect.

24.4.        Market risk management

24.4.1.   Interest rate risk

The indebtedness is essentially linked to the fixed coupon (R$, USD and EUR), Interbank Deposit Certificate (“CDI”), Broad Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). In situations of adverse market changes that result in an increase in these rates, the cost of floating-rate debt rises and on the other hand, the cost of fixed-rate debt decreases in relative terms.

Regarding the marketable securities, the Company holds, mainly, instruments indexed by the CDI for investments in Brazil and fixed coupon in USD for investments in the foreign market.

The Company’s exposure to interest rates can be assessed in notes 5 and 15.

The derivative financial instruments hired to hedge the exposure to interest rates on March 31, 2020 were designated as hedge accounting and are shown in the table below:

24.4.2.   Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the one that may cause unexpected losses to the Company resulting from volatility of the FX rates, reducing its assets and revenues or increasing its liabilities and costs. The Company’s exposure is managed in three dimensions: statement of financial position exposure, operating income exposure and investments exposure.

     i.    Statement of financial position exposure

24.7.        Sensitivity analysis

The Management understands that the most relevant risks that may affect the Company’s results are the volatility of commodities prices and foreign exchange rates. Currently the fluctuation of the interest rates does not affect significantly the Company’s results since Management has chosen to keep at fixed rates a considerable portion of its debts.

The scenarios below present the possible impacts of the financial instruments considering situations of increase and decrease in the selected risk factors. The amounts of exports used correspond to the notional amount of the financial instruments designated for hedge accounting.

The information used in the preparation of the analysis is based on the position as of March 31, 2020, which has been described in the items above. The future results may diverge significantly of the estimated values if the reality presents different than the considered premises. Positive values indicate gains and negative values indicate losses.

24.9.        Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Depending on the inputs used for measurement, the financial instruments at fair value may be classified into 3 hierarchy levels:

»   Level 1 Uses prices quoted (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets. In this category are classified investments in stocks, credit linked notes, savings accounts, overnights, term deposits, Financial Treasury Bills (“LFT”) and investment funds;

»   Level 2 Uses prices quoted in active markets for similar instruments, prices quoted for identical or similar instruments in non-active markets and evaluation models for which inputs are observable. In this level are classified the investments in Bank Deposit Certificates (“CDB”) and derivatives, which are measured by well-known pricing models: discounted cash flows and Black-Scholes. The observable inputs are interest rates and curves, volatility factors and foreign exchange rates; and

BRF S.A. | INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION - March 31, 2020

»   Level 3 Instruments whose significant inputs are non-observable. The Company does not have financial instruments in this classification.

The table below presents the overall classification of financial instruments measured at fair value by measurement hierarchy. For the period ended on March 31, 2020, there were no changes between the 3 levels of hierarchy.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

BRF S.A.

Itajaí - SC

 

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of BRF S.A. (“Company”) contained in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which comprises the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2020 and the respective statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

The Company's management is responsible for the preparation of this individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Reporting and international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as for the presentation of this information in accordance with standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International standards on review engagements 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 financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for the 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 the auditing standards 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 individual and consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the Quarterly Information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Emphasis of matter

We draw attention to explanatory note 1.2 to the individual and consolidated interim financial information, which describe the investigations involving the Company, as well as their current and potential developments. In the current stage of the investigations, it is not possible to determine the potential financial and non-financial impacts on the Company resulting from them and of their potential developments and, consequently, to record potential losses which could have a material adverse effect on the Company´s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the future. Our conclusion is unmodified in respect of this matter.

 

Other matters

 

Statements of Value Added

The individual and consolidated interim financial information referred above includes the statements of value added, individual and consolidated, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management and presented as supplementary information for the purposes of IAS 34. These statements were submitted to the review procedures followed together with the review of the Quarterly Information, with the objective to conclude whether these statements were conciliated to the individual and consolidated interim financial information and to the accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria set on Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the individual and consolidated statements of Value Added has not been prepared, in all material respects, according to the criteria defined in this pronouncement and consistent with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
