Management Report / Comments on the Performance

1Q2012 Results

Dear Shareholders

BRF - Brasil Foods S.A. (BM&FBOVESPA: BRFS3 and NYSE: BRFS)obtained one more important achievement: investment grade rating from all three major rating agencies. On April 4, 2012, Standard & Poor´s assigned the Company a BBB- rating. This was subsequent to the announcement of Moody’s rating on March 23, 2012 of a Baa3 rating and prior to Fitch’s reiteration of a BBB- rating on April 5, 2012. The rating agencies particularly pointed to the competitive advantages of the brand, distribution, financial strength, corporate governance, among others.

BRF’s first quarter 2012 results reflect a challenging scenario in the overseas market, a situation also observed in 4Q11. Certain key markets such as Japan and the Middle East continue to suffer a process of adjustment and normalization of inventory levels and merchandise flows. On the other hand, the performance of the domestic market and food service segments maintained a good performeance despite a weaker than expected first quarter in the Brazilian market.

Against this background, the Company recorded net sales for 1Q12 of R$ 6.3 billion, 5.3% up on 1Q11, with volumes of 1.4 million tons, 2.5% higher. Operating cash generation – EBITDA reached R$ 532 million, representing 8.4% of EBITDA margin. Net earnings amounted to R$ 153.2 million, corresponding to a net margin of 2.4%.

In accordance with the Performance Commitment Agreement – TCD signed with the Brazilian anti-trust authority - CADE, BRF and Marfrig announced in a Material Fact the signing of an Asset Exchange Contract in line with BRF’s commitment of July 13, 2011 to divest certain assets. Under the agreement, BRF will sell industrial units and distribution centers among other specified assets and will receive in exchange the processing operations of Quickfood S.A. of Argentina together with a cash payment of R$ 350 million. The Company adopts a strategy of recovering operational and financial performance as a whole with a view to executing the Performance Commitment Agreement -TCD which should have a temporary impact on the domestic market.

In order to improve the management of financial liquidity, BRF has signed a three year Revolving Committed credit facility for USD 500 million with a syndicate of banks. Together with a cash position of R$ 2.2 billion, the credit facility enables the Company to have immediate access to financial liquidity.

The Company continues fully committed to a process of integration across a broad front and involving innumerous structural projects such as integrated distribution and warehousing logistics and the corporate merger between BRF and Sadia. The international project proceeds apace with the incorporation of the acquisitions in Argentina (Dánica and Avex), the construction of an industrial unit in the Middle East, a partnership in China and the expansion of Plusfood in Europe.

Management Report / Comments on the Performance
 

The current scenario re-emphasizes correctness of the strategy in BRF15 of reducing volatility through a process of localization of international operations and capture of greater value along the value chain. At the same time, we are consolidating the domestic market base, leveraging opportunities in food service and improving the dairy segment.

Brazilian Exports

Brazilian exports of chicken meat, pork and beef recorded a weak performance in 1Q12 compared with 4Q11, although showed a recovery and higher volumes in relation to 1Q11, with the exception of beef.

Chicken meat exports amounted to 974 thousand tons in 1Q12, 6.8% lower than in 4Q11 but 4.4% up on 1Q11. In terms of export revenue, there was a decline of 14.9% against 4Q11 and an increase of 1.1% versus 1Q11. Shipments to Japan, Venezuela and Iraq registered the largest declines in the quarter. On the other hand, sales volume to Hong Kong, China and Egypt reported substantial increases in the same period. Among exported products, volumes of chicken cuts posted the best performance in 1Q12 (increase of 12.8% versus 1Q11 and of 0.7% versus 4Q11), with consistent growth in the markets of the Middle East and Africa.

Overseas sales of pork in 1Q12 were also positive versus 1Q11, albeit negative when compared with 4Q11. The volume of 122 thousand tons of exports in 1Q12 was 3.5% up on the volume for 1Q11 and 3.1% below 4Q11. In revenue terms, the quarter reported an increase of 0.7% over 1Q11 but 15.2% down on 4Q11. The Russian trade ban and recent restrictions on the part of Argentina have had a negative impact on Brazilian port exports, although efforts are being made to offset the shortfall to these countries with higher volumes to other importing markets such as Hong Kong and the Ukraine.

However, shipments of beef (in natura and industrialized) in terms of volume have not seen a recovery. In 1Q12, the 258 thousand tons of exports were 2,2% lower than 1Q11 and 7.8% lower than 4Q12. In export revenue, there was a decline of 0.5% versus 1Q11 and 12.7% versus 4Q12.

  Raw Material

The average price per sack of corn on the domestic market increased by 2.0% in  1Q12 versus 4Q11 due to the severe drought conditions in the South of Brazil and consequently reducing the harvest for the 1 st crop (summer) from 40 to 36 million  tons. Comparing 1Q12 and 1Q11, domestic corn prices remained -1.6% lower due to domestic inventory which remained stable in relation to the preceding year and as a result of the decline on the international market (-4.3% down on 1Q11). Soybean prices on the Brazilian market saw an increase of 7.0% in 1Q12 versus 4Q11 due to a shortfall in the Brazilian crop (10 million tons down on forecast) and in Argentina (5 million tons less than forecast) and pricing tendencies continue to indicate an increase. Comparing 1Q12 and 1Q11, prices in the domestic market were off by -1.1% reflecting international quotations -8.4% lower and a 6% decline in the Real against the US Dollar (from R$1.67 in 1Q11 to R$ 1.77 in 1Q12).

Investments

Investments for the quarter amounted to R$ 594.2 million, 127.6% more than the same quarter in 2011. Expenditures were directed to growth, efficiency and support projects, and biological assets (breeder stock), as well as investments for the capture of forecasted synergies and the replacement of production capacity in the light of asset sales under the Performance Commitment Agreement (TCD). Investments in breeder stock amounted to R$ 116.7 million. The significant year-on-year growth during the period was due both to a policy of containing investments last year pending the final decision on the merger from the anti-trust (CADE) authority and the increased expenditure in the quarter under review in line with our growth plan.

 

Production

A total of 1.4 million tons of foodstuffs was produced in 1Q12, in volume, 2.6% higher than reported in 1Q11, mainly due to higher output in the meats segment and for the food service business.

The production of the companies, Avex and Dánica in Argentina was also consolidated into the growth recorded for meats and other processed products.

From the innovation point of view, 61 new SKUs were launched: Food Service - 11; domestic market – 11; exports – 12 and 27 in the dairy products segment. Construction work on the new technological center in Jundiaí-SP to provide a support role for innovative processes is on schedule and operations are expected to begin before the end of 2012.

Domestic Market

Sales to the domestic market reached R$ 3.0 billion, an 11.2% increase, in spite of a rise in volumes of only 2.5%, driven by average prices 8.4% higher. The latter gave support to  the margin of 9.5% against 10.7% reported 2011, thus offsetting the increase in principal raw materials and other product costs in the period.

The product launches in the period incorporating the Sadia branded line of pizzas as well as Perdigão’s Meu Menu and Sanduba lines, gave an added boost to  performance.

Exports

The Company reported export revenue of R$ 2.4 billion, 1% down on 1Q11 due both to price and volume pressures in some key regions such as the Middle East (the Arab spring) and Japan (higher domestic inventory in that market), which resulted in a negative operating margin of 2.3% against a positive 8.1% in 1Q11, a quarter when we reported an important improvement in performance following a recovery in export markets.

While export volumes rose by 6.9% to 578 thousand tons, revenues fell due to a temporary trough in demand given high existing levels of local inventory in important markets such as the Far East and the Middle East. This inventory was built up in 2011 when there was strong demand from the importers in these areas due to production shortfalls in various producing countries, a fact which further accentuated demand for Brazilian meat.

Export prices and volumes are expected to post a gradual recovery in 2Q12, with normalization as from 2H12, given greater equilibrium between supply and demand.

The Company reported the following scenario in its principal markets during the quarter:

Far East –   This market experienced narrower margins in the period and these are expected to persist until local inventory is fully aligned with supply and demand, more particularly the case of the Japanese market. Volumes rose 27.6% and revenues 9.9% in the year, with pricing pressure in the final quarter of 2011 in Japan - a market which had performed well up to the end of 1H11 - carrying over into the first quarter 2012. 

Eurasia – Revenues fell 29.9%, with volumes 26.7% less, due to the Russian trade ban on imports from a large part of Brazilian exporting units. However, the Ukraine is absorbing a substantial part of the volumes originally for export to the Russian market, offsetting the negative impact of the ban.  

Europe –   Revenues in this market rose 3.1%, in spite of a 1.5% decline in volume, due to the continued strategic focus on greater added value, especially based on Plusfood’s products, which are expanding the portfolio based on an increase in local production capacity. The economic situation experienced by some regions in Europe has not so far impacted our businesses .  

Middle East – While volumes were up 6.3%, this market posted revenues 9.9% lower. The fall-out from the Arab Spring drove down prices of in-natura products, especially griller chicken, squeezing margins in the Middle East market.

South America –   Revenues rose 36.6% and volumes 26% on the back of the newly acquired businesses of Avex and Dánica and growing demand in the South American markets as a whole. However, the Argentine government has adopted measures making exports via Brazil more difficult.    

Africa and other countries – Africa posted a good performance with an average growth of 14%, although imports by other countries fell, the overall result being a reduction of 0.9% in revenue and 1.4 in volume.

Dairy products – Dairy product revenues rose 0.9%, although volumes were off by 10.1%, notably in the fluid milk business, where the objective was to reduce the impact on margins due to higher production costs and the more commoditized nature of this product. Operating margin was a negative 0.3% against 0.1% in 1Q11.

The operating margin for this segment continues under some pressure. However product launches in the cheese line: Sadia’s danbo and mozzarella cheeses are beginning to show results and a good performance, reporting an increase of 127% in revenue and 86% in sales volume with products selling into the retail and food service segments.

In 1Q12, BRF launched 27 products aimed at improving margins and upgrading the portfolio. Launches included the yogurt line (tubs), the Kissy line of grape-flavored yogurts, Pense Zero , Batavo milks and trakinas shake and a line in cheeses, including the sliced product.

Food service – In 1Q12, revenue from food service rose 10.4%, with an operating margin of 11% against 13.9% in 1Q11, although volume grew 8%, principally for processed products, with average prices increase of 2.2%.

The Company launched a total of 11 products between in-natura and processed lines for the global networks, an appetizer/savory snacks platform, grill line and rotisserie products.

Net Sales –    BRF registered net operating sales of R$ 6.3 billion in the year, 5.3% higher, largely driven by the favorable performance in the domestic market and in the food service segment.

 

Cost of Sales   – The cost of sales increased 11.6% to R$ 5 billion, a faster rate than for sales revenue, and trimming the Company’s gross margins. The principal impacts on costs reflected the cost of corn (12% higher), milk (a 7% increase) as well as other raw materials and direct inputs.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin – Gross Profit totaled R$ 1.3 billion, a reduction of 13.1% with a gross margin declining from 25.7% to 21.2%, a significant fall in the quarter’s results.

Operating Expenses – Operating expenses were 10.7% higher due to the lower level of revenue generation compared to structures with fixed selling expenses increasing 19.8% while variable and administrative expenses rose by only 2%.

 

Other Operating Expenses – Other operating expenses decreased 49.8% to R$ 42 million due to income from reversal of provisions, recovery of expenses, and also pre-operational costs of the new industrial units, claims and provisions for tax and civil risks. Additionally, in accordance with the IFRS, profit sharing is also included under this item.

Operating   Profit and Margin –   The Company registered an operating margin of 4.2% in 1Q12 against 8.7% in 1Q11, equivalent to a decline in operating result of 48.9% for the quarter, reflecting a diminished performance in the overseas market and pressure on production costs. Operating profit before financial expenses (EBIT) reached R$ 268 million.

Financial Result –   Net financial expenses amounted to R$ 74.9 million, 43.4% higher than for the same period in 2011 due to an increase in net debt and the foreign exchange translation effect. In addition to the currency effect, the allocation of cash in support of capital expenditure investments increased net debt to R$ 5.9 billion, resulting in a net debt to EBITDA (last twelve months) ratio of 2 times with book currency exposure of US$ 468 million.

In the light of the high level of exports, the Company conducts operations with the specific purpose of currency hedging. In accordance with hedge accounting standards (CPC 38 and IAS 39), it uses financial derivatives (for example: NDF) and non-derivative financial instruments (for example: foreign currency debt) for conducting hedging operations and concomitantly, to eliminate the respective unrealized foreign exchange rate variations from the income statement (under the Financial Expenses line).

The use of non-derivative financial instruments for foreign exchange cover, continues to permit a significant reduction in the net currency exposure in the balance sheet, resulting in substantial benefits through the matching of currency liability flows with export shipments and therefore contributing to a reduction in the volatility of the financial result.

On March 31, 2012, the non-financial derivative instruments designated as hedge accounting for foreign exchange cover amounted to USD 595 million, with a reduction in currency exposure in the balance sheet of the same value. In addition, the financial derivative instruments designated as hedge accounting according to the concept of a cash flow hedge for coverage of highly probable exports, totaled USD 1,385 million + EUR 216 million + GBP 77.1 million and also contributed directly to the reduction in currency exposure. In both cases, the unrealized result for foreign exchange rate variation was booked to shareholders’ equity, thus avoiding the impact on the Financial Expenses.

The CADE has been assessing the Company’s compliance with the commitments disclosed herein, as the Company is subject to penalties in case of noncompliance with CADE’s provisions, which ultimately, includes the review of the operation.

 

In order to attend the obligations derived from the TCD, the Company’s management set up a plan to sell the above mentioned facilities including the related assets, rights and obligations. Additionally, the plan comprises the necessary actions to transfer the productive capacity of 730,000 tons to the future acquirer as established by the TCD, which includes: assets transfers, purchase and installation of new product lines and the shutdown of existing productions line with the correspondent transfer to other production plants.

 

On December 8, 2011, the Company and Marfrig Alimentos S.A. (“Marfrig”)  disclosed to the market that they signed a binding document, Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), which was confirmed with some amendment by the Asset Exchange and Other Agreements signed on March 20, 2012, establishing the main terms and conditions aiming to accomplish an exchange of the Company’s assets and rights related to the TCD with Marfrig or its subsidiary Quickfood S.A. (“Quickfood”) as follows:

 

(i)              the entire equity interest held either directly or indirectly by Marfrig, equivalent to 90,05% of the capital of Quickfood, a company based in Argentina, which owns the rights of Paty  brand.

(ii)         additional payment of an amount of R$350,000, of which R$100,000 will be paid between June and October 2012 and the remaining amount of R$250,000 will be paid in 72 monthly installments bears market interest rates; and

 

(iii)        commercial operations related to the Paty  brand in Uruguay and Chile.

 

Additionally, it was agreed that risks and benefits regarding to the Company's pork manufacturing facility , located in the City of Carambeí, State of Paraná, will be transferred to Marfrig through a lease contract for a period of 3 years, renewable for more 1 year, with a call option for the amount of R$188,000.

 

Management's understanding of both companies is that the assets to be exchanged have equivalent values. Such understanding is subject to corroboration through an appraisal report at fair market value of the businesses which is currently being prepared. The transaction is subject to adjustments resulting from the legal, accounting, financial and operational due diligences, which are in progress and until the date of the issuance of these financial statements have not been finalized.

 

The signing of the definitive agreements and the actual implementation of the transaction are subject to precedent conditions, including the assessment of CADE, in the terms and limits placed on the TCD signed on July 13, 2011.

 

The Company did not reclassify the set of assets and liabilities to be disposed of as held for sale, because it concluded that on March 31, 2012, the current condition of these assets did not met the requirements of CPC 31, paragraph 7  “ the assets or group of assets held for sale must be immediately available in its current conditions…”. The Company’s conclusion is supported by the following factors:

 

(i)           in order to attend the requirements related to the disposal of productive capacity, which correspond to 730,000 tons, the Company prepared a plan comprising of refurbishments and adaptations necessary in these plants which demand an investment in the amount of R$78,528. Until March 31, 2012, only R$22,265 was effectively invested, hence showing that the plants were not immediately available for sale in the conditions determined by CADE;

 

(ii)         in the MOU signed on December 8, 2011, and in the Asset Exchange and Other Agreements, Marfrig imposed other conditions that also require additional changes in the plants besides those mentioned in the item (1) above, denominated “precedent conditions”;

(iii)        the buildings and lands related to the plants to be disposed of are pledged as guarantees; and

(iv)        as required by CADE, the plants in the scope of TCD must operate until the moment of ownership transfer; therefore, such plants will attend the sales orders of the products currently being manufactured, which are not part of the products portfolio to be sold to Marfrig according to TCD. Thus, the sales orders backlog will not be transferred to the Marfrig.

 

Due to the fact that the Company and the Marfrig have not concluded all appraisal reports of fair value assets until the date of the issuance of these financial statements and also because it has not identified other  impairment    factors, no adjustments have been recorded in these quarterly financial information for the three month period ended March 31, 2012.

 

Based on a preliminary appraisal report, on March 31, 2012 the book value of Company’s assets to be exchanged do not exceed their fair value.

  

The estimated accounting balances of the assets and liabilities to be exchanged with Marfrig according to the MOU and confirmed by the Asset Exchange and Other Agreements as of March 31, 2012 are set forth below:

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

 

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 of the quarterly financial information. However, the uncertainty inherent to these judgments, assumptions and estimates could lead to results requiring a material adjustment to carrying amount of the affected asset or liability in future periods.

 

The settlement of the transactions involving these estimates can result in amounts that significantly different from those recorded in the financial statement 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 recognized in the balance sheet:

 

(i)      derivative financial instruments measured at fair value;

 

(ii)     derivative financial instruments measured at fair value through the statement of income;

 

(iii)   financial assets available for sale measured at fair value;

 

(iv)   assets and liabilities of acquired companies from January 1, 2009 recorded initially at fair value; and

 

(v)     share-based payments measured at fair value.

 

 

3.             SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

 

The quarterly financial information were 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 full set or condensed financial statements for an interim period.

4.             FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

 

4.1.        Overview 

 

In the regular course of its business, the Company is exposed to market risks related mainly to the fluctuation of interest rates, variation of foreign exchange rates and changes in the commodities prices.

 

The Company utilizes hedging instruments to mitigate its exposure to these risks, based on a Risk Policy under the management of the Financial Risk Management Committee, Board of Executive Officers and Board of Directors. Such policy includes the monitoring of the levels of exposure to each market risk and its measurement is performed based on the accounting exposure and forecast of future cash flows. The policy establishes limits for the decision making and adoption of hedging instruments with the purposes of:

 

(i)     protecting from the exposure to fluctuation of interest rates;

 

(ii)    protecting from the exposure to variation of foreign exchange rates on debt and cash flow; and

 

(iii)   protecting from the exposure to changes in the commodities prices.

 

The Board of Directors plays a crucial role in the financial risk management structure as responsible for approving the Risk Policy. Moreover, the Board of Directors defines the limits of tolerance of the different risks identified as acceptable for the Company on behalf of its shareholders.

 

The Board of Directors is in charge of the evaluation of the Company’s positioning for each identified risk, according to the guidelines enacted by the Board of Directors as well as for approving:

 

(i)      the action plans defined for aligning the risks within the defined limits of tolerance;

 

(ii)     the performance indicators to be used in risk management;

 

(iii)   the overall limits; and

 

(iv)   the evaluation of improvements to the Risk Policy.

 

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 alternatives and monitoring the exposure levels to risks in order to ensure the compliance of the Policy.

The Risk Management area has as primary task the monitoring, evaluation and reporting of financial risk taken by the Company, and among these are:

 

(i)      an ongoing review of the scope of Risk Policy, ensuring that hedging instruments utilized are within the limits of tolerance established by the Policy;

 

(ii)     the preparation of reports;

 

(iii)   the evaluation and presentation of alternatives to mitigate risks; and

 

(iv)   the modeling and assessment of exposure to risks.

 

The tasks mentioned above are performed in order to highlight and give acknowledgement to Management on the magnitude of the risks and the related hedging instruments utilized presenting the potential impacts.

 

The Risk Policy defines the strategies to be adopted, and Management contracts hedging instruments that are approved within the delegation of authority levels. The Board of Directors, Board of Executive Officers and Financial Risk Committee have different levels of  authority where each one acts within the limits pre-established in this Policy.

 

The Policy does not authorize the Company to contract leveraged transactions in derivative markets, as well as determines that individual hedge operations (notional) must be limited to 2.5% of the Company’s shareholders’ equity.

 

The inclusion and updating of transactions are recorded in the Company’s operating systems, with proper segregation of duties, being validated by the back-office and daily monitored by the Risk Management area.

 

Considering the objective of hedging transactions is to mitigate the risks and the uncertainties to which the Company is exposed, the results obtained for the period met the established objectives.

 

As permitted by CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, the Company applies hedge accounting rules to its derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedge, in accordance with  its Risk Policy. The cash flow hedge consists of hedging the exposure to variations of the cash flow that:

(i)      is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability;

 

(ii)     is a highly probable transaction; and

 

(iii)   could affect profit and loss.

 

The Policy has also the purpose of determining parameters of use of financial instruments, including derivatives, which are designed to protect the operating and financial assets and liabilities, which are exposed to the variations of foreign exchange rates,  the fluctuation of the interest rates and changes to the commodities prices. The Risk Management area is responsible for ensuring compliance to the requirements established by the Company’s Risk Policy.

 

4.2.        Interest rate risk management  

 

The risk of interest rates is that one which the Company may suffer economic losses, arising from changes in these rates, which can be caused by factors related to economic crises or changes in monetary policy on domestic and foreign markets. This exhibition refers primarily to changes in market interest rates, that affect assets and liabilities of the companies, indexed to the London Interbank Offered rate ("LIBOR"), Term Interest Rate ("TJLP"). Currency of the Bank National Economic and Social Development ("UMBNDES") or Interbank Deposit ("CDI")  Certificate, and any transactions with pre-established positions in some of the indices mentioned above, which can lead to losses unrealized or realized through the calculation of fair market value (mark to market).

  

The Company’s Risk Policy does not restrict exposure to different interest rates, neither establishes limits for fixed or floating rates.

 

The Company continually monitors the market interest rates, in order to evaluate any potential need to enter in hedging contracts to protect from the exposure to fluctuation of such rates. These transactions are basically characterized by contracts that exchange floating rate for fixed rate. Such transactions were designated by the Company as cash flow hedge.

 

The Company seeks a stable correlation between its current and non-current term indebtedness, maintaining a higher portion in the non-current term.

 

The Company’s indebtedness is essentially tied to the LIBOR, fixed coupon (“R$ and USD”), TJLP and 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 also applicable to the TJLP and UMBNDES.

With regards to the Company's marketable securities, the main index is the CDI for investments in the domestic market and fixed coupon (“USD”) for investments in the foreign market. If CDI increases, impacts become favorable, while if CDI decreases, results become unfavorable.

 

4.3.        Foreign exchange risk management  

 

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

 

The main exposures to which the Company is subject, as regards foreign exchange rates variations, refer to the fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar (“US$” or “USD”) and also of the Euro (“EUR”) and the British Pound (“GBP”) in relation to the Brazilian Real.

 

The objective of the Company’s Risk Policy is the protection from excessive exposure to the risks of foreign exchange variations by balancing its assets not denominated in Brazilian Reais against its obligations not denominated in Brazilian Reais, thus protecting the Company’s balance sheet, through the use of over-the-counter transactions (“swap”) and transactions on the futures exchange.

4.4.3.    Exports pre-payments – PPEs

 

As authorized by CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, the Company utilizes the exchange rates variation of export pre-payments contracts (“PPEs”) as a hedge instrument in order to mitigate the risk of the variation of exchange rate resulting from the highly probable future sales designated in foreign currency.

 

In order to test the effectiveness of this hedge category, the Company established a comparison between the exchange rate variation arising from the PPE agreement (variation of the fair value of the hedging instrument) and the variation of the fair value of highly probable future export revenues (Spot-to-Spot rate method).

4.6.        Determination of the fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company discloses its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, based on the pertinent accounting pronouncements, which refers to concepts of valuation and practices, and requires certain disclosures on the fair value.

 

Specifically related to the disclosure, the Company applies the hierarchy requirements set out in CVM Deliberation No. 604/09, which involves the following aspects:

 

(i)      The fair value is the price that an asset could be exchanged, a liability settled, between knowledgeable willing parties in a transaction without favoritism; and

(ii)     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 market assumptions. These two types of input create the hierarchy of fair value presented below:

 

(i)      Level 1 - Prices quoted for identical instruments in active markets;

 

(ii)     Level 2 - 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; and

 

(iii)   Level 3 - Instruments whose significant inputs are non-observable.

 

Management concluded that balances of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are close to their fair value recognition due to the short-term cycle of these operations.

 

The book value of financing and loans in the financial statements is close to the fair value due to the major portion of the total gross debt bears interest based on the variation of TJLP,  LIBOR and CDI, except the capital markets transactions (Bond). On March 31, 2012, the fair value adjustment for Bond (“BRFSBZ”) is represented by a negative impact of R$198,154.

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

(ii)     The investments in financial assets in the categories of Bank Deposit Certificates (“CDB”) and the repurchase agreements backed by debentures 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

 

(iii)   The derivatives are valued through existing pricing models widely accepted by financial market and described in appendix 3 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 of the valuation hierarchy, including swaps, NDFs and options.

 

4.7.        Credit management

 

The Company is potentially subject to the credit risk related to trade accounts receivable, financial investments and derivative contracts. The Company limits its risk associated with these financial instruments, allocating them to financial institutions selected by the criteria of rating and percentage of maximum concentration by counterparties.

 

The credit risk concentration of accounts receivable is minimized due to the diversification of the customer portfolio and concession of credit to customers with good financial and operational conditions. The Company does not normally require collateral for credit sales, yet it has a contracted credit insurance policy for specific markets.

 

On March 31, 2012, the Company had financial investments over R$10,000 at the following financial institutions: Banco do Brasil, Banco Santander, Banco Itaú Unibanco, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Banco Bradesco, BTG Pactual, Citigroup, Erste Bank, Banco do Nordeste, Caixa Econômica Federal and JP Morgan.

 

The Company also held derivative contracts with the following financial institutions: Banco Santander, Citibank, HSBC, Credit Suisse, Banco do Brasil, Banco Itaú Unibanco, Rabobank, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Banco Votorantim, Banco Bradesco, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Standard Bank, Goldman Sachs, Barclays Bank, ING Bank and Banco Safra.

 

4.8.        Liquidity risk management

 

Liquidity risk management aims to reduce the impacts caused by events which may affect the Company’s cash flow performance.

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

The Company has identified market risk factors which are associated to future cash flow that may jeopardize its liquidity and calculates the Cash Flow at Risk (“CFAR”) on a twelve-month basis aiming to verify potential cash flow forecast deviations. The Company determined that the minimum value of its cash availability should consider mainly the average monthly revenue and EBITDA for the last twelve-month period.

 

Derivatives transactions may demand payments of periodic adjustments. Currently, the Company holds only BM&F operations with daily adjustments. In order to control the adjustments, the Company utilizes Value at Risk methodology (“VaR”), which statistically measures potential maximum adjustments to be paid in a 1 to 21-day interval.

 

The allocation of financial investments among counterparts is conservative and seek the liquidity and profitability of these assets avoiding concentration.

 

The Company maintains its leverage levels in a manner to not jeopardize the ability to honor commitments and obligations. On March 31, 2012, the long term debt portion accounted for 56% of the total outstanding debt with an average term greater than 3.3 years.

 

The table below summarizes the commitments and contractual obligations that may impact the Company’s liquidity as of March 31, 2012:

4.9.        Commodity price risk management

 

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

 

Corn and soymeal 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 hog acquired from third parties are subject to market conditions and are influenced by internal availability and levels of demand in the international market, and 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.

 

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company utilized derivative instruments to mitigate the exposure to live cattle prices variation.

 

On March 31, 2012, the Company held a short position in the BM&F of 1,305 future contracts (150 contracts as of December 31, 2011) with maturity dates between April and October 2012.

 

In the counter market, the Company held a short position of 50 contracts with maturity dates in 2012. Additionally, through the utilization of options, the Company also held a short position of 1,600 allotments (600 allotments as of December 31, 2011), note 4.3.2.

4.10.     Table of sensitivity analysis

 

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

 

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

 

In the table depicted below, five scenarios are considered for the next twelve-month period, considering the variations of the quotations of the parity between the Brazilian Reais and U.S. Dollar, Brazilian Reais and Euro and Brazilian Reais and Pounds, 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 hedge accounting.

6.             BUSINESS COMBINATION AND OTHER ACQUISITIONS

 

During the first quarter of 2012, there were no changes deriving from the goodwill allocation of the acquisition of the subsidiaries Avex, Dánica group and Heloísa.

 

6.1   Acquisition of assets related to integration, production and slaughter of porks

 

With the purpose of acquiring assets related to integration, production and slaughter of porks, the Company made advanced payments in the amount of R$180,000.

 

CADE decided that this transaction could cause an adverse impact to the competitive market and rejected the acquisition. Thus, the Company and the seller dedicated their best efforts in order to identify another buyer for these assets and such negotiations are in an advanced stage. Management expects that the transaction will be concluded by the first semester of 2012.

 

The advanced payments are secured by statutory liens that corresponds to R$205,000.

 

Management does not expect any loss resulting from this operation.

The amount of the write-offs of inventories recognized in cost of sales during the three month period ended on March 31, 2012, totaled R$2,732,226 at the parent company and R$4,993,642 in the consolidated (on March 31, 2011, R$2,371,481 at the parent company and R$4,474,918 in the consolidated), such amounts include the additions and reversals of inventory provisions presented in the table below:

  (58,027)   (38,019)   44,277   (11)   220   (51,560)  

 

 

The additions presented in the provision for inventory losses are mainly related to the decrease in the foreign market sales price of chicken griller which occurred in January 2012. The reversals recorded during the quarter are related to the decrease in the critical inventory of chicken griller and to the recovery of the foreign market sales price as from March.

 

Additionally, during the three month period ended March 31, 2012, there were write-offs of inventories in the amount of R$8,623 at the parent company and R$13,729 in the consolidated (on March 31, 2011, R$9,799 at the parent company and R$10,148 in the consolidated), referring to items suffering deterioration, which have not been recorded in the provision.

 

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

 

 

11.          BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

 

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

 

In Management’s opinion, the fair value of the biological assets is substantially represented by the cost of formation, mainly due to the short life cycle of the animals and to the fact that a significant portion of the profitability of our 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 by an independent expert, which presented an immaterial difference between the two methodologies. Therefore, Management maintained the biological assets at formation cost.

As of March 31, 2012, there were no additions nor reversals in the parent company.

 

The increase in the balance during the quarter is mainly due to the tax credits derived from exports occurred through the States of Paraná and Santa Catarina, and the related allowances deemed necessary by Management were recorded.

 

12.1       Tax on Financial Transactions – (“IOF”)   

 

On January 2012, the Company paid IOF over derivative transactions as imposed by PM No. 539 of July 26, 2011 (converted into Law No. 12,543/11), for the period between September 16, 2011 and December 31, 2011, totaling R$15,762. In March 2011, based on regulation issued by Brazilian Federal Revenue it was determined that the derivative transactions taken by the Company were deemed to be hedging so that it recorded a tax credit to be offset against other federal taxes.

Explanatory Notes

(in thousands of Brazilian Reais)

 

 

As disclosed to the market on February 9, 2012, the Company´s Board of Directors approved the merger of the wholly-owned subsidiary Sadia with BRF, which will be implemented on December 31, 2012. The main purpose of this merge is to maximize synergies and to rationalize activities, with consequent reductions in administrative and operating costs and increased productivity.

 

The decision to merge Sadia into BRF resulted in the recognition of a loss for 2011 of approximately R$215,205 on the allowance for tax loss carryforwards, which will not be recovered after the merger. The value of the loss reflects Management's best estimate at the date of the publication of these quarterly financial information, considering the available conditions. The final value of the impact of the merger of Sadia into BRF will be known on December 31, 2012.

 

As per the requirements of paragraph 28 of CVM Deliberation No. 673/11, during this quarter the Company started to disclose the income tax expense based on the best estimate of the annual weighted effective tax rate for the fiscal period ending December 31, 2012. As a consequence, the income tax expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 was adjusted by a credit in the amount of R$59,891 at the parent company and R$89,491 in the consolidated financial information, as disclosed in note 14.3. For the same period of year 2011 this adjustment was not made because the effective rate calculated resembled the estimated effective rate for the year.

 

14.2.        Estimated time of realization

 

Management considers that deferred tax assets related to temporary differences will be realized as the lawsuits are resolved. The deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences of employee benefits will be realized at the payment of the projected obligations.

 

Management estimates that the deferred tax assets originated from tax losses carry forwards and negative basis of social contribution are expected to be realized as set forth below:

When assessing the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, Management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible.

 

Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income and tax-planning strategies when performing this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset is considered realizable, however, could be impacted in the short term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

The Company determined that the total profit accounted for by holdings of their foreign wholly-owned subsidiaries will not be redistributed. Such resources will be utilized for investments in the subsidiaries, and thus no deferred income taxes were recognized. The total of undistributed earnings correspond to R$1,853,368 as of March 31, 2012 (R$2,057,655 as of December 31, 2011).

 

The 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, in case inconsistencies are found. Subsidiaries located abroad are taxed in their respective jurisdictions, according to the tax legislation of each country.

ITR – Quarterly Information – March 31, 2012 – BRF – BRASIL FOODS S.A.

 

BREAKDOWN OF THE CAPITAL BY OWNER

 

To the Shareholders and Officers

BRF – Brasil Foods S.A.

Itajaí - SC

 

 

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of BRF – Brasil Foods S.A. (“Company”), contained in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2012 and the related statements  of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow for the three-month period then ended, including other explanatory information.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation of individual interim financial information in accordance with Accounting Pronouncement CPC 21 - Interim Financial Statements and the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC 21 and with 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 a manner consistent with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of the review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review Engagements (NBC TR 2410 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 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 individual interim financial information

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 applicable to the preparation of quarterly financial information (ITR), consistently with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON REVIEW OF QUARTERLY INFORMATION  

 

 

 

Conclusion on the consolidated interim financial information

 

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

 

Approval of Sadia S.A.’s business combination

 

As mentioned in note 1.2, on July 13, 2011, the Administrative Council for Economic Defense ("CADE") approved the merger between the Company and Sadia S.A.. At the same date CADE, the Company and Sadia S.A. agreed and signed a Term Performance Commitment ("TCD"), which formalizes the Company and Sadia S.A. are committed to be compliant with TCD’s requirements, as also mentioned in the same note. Therefore the merger’s approval is subject to the TCD requirements compliance. On March 20, 2012, the Company and Sadia S.A. agreed and signed with Marfrig Alimentos S.A., an asset exchange and other agreements, which formalizes the main terms and conditions to complete the transaction described in note 1.2, which is also subject to restrictive conditions, which is CADE’s approval. Our conclusion does not contain any qualification relating to this matter.

 

 

Other matters

 

Statements of value added

 

We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated statements of value added for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, prepared under the responsibility of Company management, the presentation of which in the interim information is required by the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to preparation of Quarterly Information, and as supplementary information under the IFRS, 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 accordance with the overall individual and consolidated interim financial statements.
