Total net equity and liabilities

     13,581,726         13,557,840   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

As of September 30, 2013, total assets increased US$24 million compared to December 31, 2012, equivalent to 0.18% of variation. This deviation is mainly attributable to an increase in the balance of cash and cash equivalents and inventories, partially offset by a decrease in non-financial Assets (in 2012, compensation was received for fire insurance in Nueva Aldea).

Moreover, liabilities decreased US$108 million mainly attributable to a net decrease in financial Liabilities due to payment of bond obligations offset by an increase in Non-Financial liabilities brought about by increasing the provision of minimum dividends (interim dividend recognition for the period 2013).

The main financial and operating indicators relating to balance are as follows:

 

Liquidity ratios

   09-30-2013      12-31-2012  

Current Liquidity (current assets / current liabilities)

     2.38         1.89   

Acid ratio ((current assets-inventories, biological assets) / Current liabilities)

     1.43         1.14   

Debt indicators

   09-30-2013      12-31-2012  

Debt to equity ratio (total liabilities / equity)

     0.91         0.95   

Short-term debt to total debt (current liabilities / total liabilities)

     0.18         0.22   

Long-term debt to total debt (non-current liabilities / total liabilities)

     0.82         0.78   
     09-30-2013      09-30-2012  

Financial expenses coverage ratio (earnings before Taxes + interest expense / interest expense)

     3.64         2.49

Activity ratio

Inventory turnover-times (cost of sales / inventories + current biological assets))

     3.27         2.94   

Inventory turnover-time (excluding biological assets) (Cost of sales /inventory)

     4.27         3.91   

Inventory permanence-days ( Inventories + biological assets)) /cost of sales)

Inventory permanence (excluding biological assets) (inventory / cost of sales)

     84.26         92.09   

The ratio current liquidity and the acid-test ratio present an increase in the period 2013 compared with exercise 2012, because of a net increase in current assets and a net decrease in current liabilities, due to bonds issued payments.

As of September 30, 2013, the short-term debt represented 18% of total liabilities (22% as of December 31, 2012).

The ratio of financial expenses covered represents an increase of 2.49 to 3.64. This increase is mainly attributable to a greater proportional result for the 2013 period, compared to the same period of 2012.

 

b) Statements of income

Profit before Income Tax

Profit before Income Tax registered a profit of US$457 million compared to a profit of US$221 million in the same period of the previous year, positive variation of US$236 million. The effect is explained by the factors described in the following table:

2. MAIN SOURCES OF FINANCING

Arauco’s financing needs are mainly covered through the capital markets, with bond issuances and credits with banks and financial institutions serving as the main sources of financing. For short-term borrowing, Arauco is regulated by its liquidity policy which indicates the amounts and institutions from which it can borrow according to several conditions defined in the policy. In the case of long-term debt, corporate bond issuances in the local

market and also in international markets are used as sources of new resources. Another source of long-term financing to credit corresponds mainly with banks and financial institutions around the world.

3. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ECONOMIC VALUES AND BOOK ASSETS

Assets and liabilities are presented in the Financial Statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards and instructions issued by the Chilean Securities Commission.

We believe that there are no substantial differences between the economic value of our assets and the value reflected in these Financial Statements.

4. MARKET SITUATION

Pulp Division

Pulp sales reached US$ 572.9 million (including energy sales) for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of 3.0% compared to the previous quarter. This decrease was mainly due to lower average prices of 1.3% and lower energy sales, and partially offset by higher volumes sales of 1.3%.

When compared with the same period of 2012, pulp sales increased 16.6%, mainly due to higher average prices of 5.4%, higher sales volume of 8.7% and higher energy sales.

During the third quarter of the year, price trends behaved differently depending on the pulp grade. For unbleached pulp, mainly used for packaging paper, the tendency changed and it obtained significant increases (approx. 5%) during this quarter. Softwood prices in general remained stable and in September alone it increased 1.5%, but we estimate this trend will continue for the fourth quarter. For hardwood, the situation is different, prices dropped during this quarter in most of the markets.

Price trends reflected global inventory changes. During the third quarter, inventories for long fiber remained stable and showed a decline of 2 days with respect to the same period of 2012. Short fiber inventories rose about 3-5 days when compared to the same period of 2012.

Asia in general showed good demand; however, the growth did not increase at the same pace as installed capacity. For printing & writing paper there was oversupply, hindering the transfer of costs to prices, even stock levels in this type of paper has rose pushing prices downward. This effect was especially reflected in China, Korea and Taiwan, these three countries are important producers of printing & writing paper for domestic and export markets. Supply in Asia increased and kept prices under pressure, especially in short fiber. For long fiber the supply was more limited and showed a positive trend in prices. The new capacity that entered a few months ago did not operate very well and these new volumes have been limited. Seasonal effects began at the end of the quarter and therefore there is optimism in prices for both fibers. Another important market is Tissue; this industry continues growing in Asia and particularly in China, replacing part of the pulp demand that has been lost in printing & writing paper.

Europe apparently did not bottom out during this quarter, but consumption began to stabilize in some paper industries, and there were even some increases in some types of graphic papers, such as magazine papers. In other types of paper, the oversupply continued as a

consequence of the economic adjustments and the replacement for electronic media and we expect more capacity closures, companies, consolidations, etc. For example in Germany, printing & writing paper production dropped 5.6% in September 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012, but other papers, such as Tissue and specialty papers have rose 5.1% and 2.4%, respectively.

Latin America began very actively with good prices, and this last quarter also showed demand increases in North America for Tissue, unbleached pulp and for the fibrocement industry that is directly related to the construction activity.

The fluff market for the diaper industry also could be improved by the increase in demand in North America and a lower pressure to ship fluff to different countries, such as Brazil, an important market for our fluff; and North America, one of the biggest and most competitive producers.

For the last quarter of 2013, we expect better demand and prices, confirming the trend that began at the end of the third quarter. During the third quarter, production levels were good and in line with our plans. We met production and sale targets. There were no special events that may affect the production and sales.

Sawn Timber Division

Our Sawn Timber division had total sales of US$ 219.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, representing a 5.4% increase compared to the previous quarter. This increase was mainly due to higher average prices of 7.2% and higher sales volume of 0.5%.

When compared with the same period of 2012, sawn timber and remanufactured wood products sales increased 13.8%, mainly due to higher sales volume and average prices of 8.0% and 6.0%, respectively.

The real estate and construction markets in the United States have remained around 900,000 units in housing starts during the third quarter of the year and continues to advance over the previous year. The Housing Starts Index reached 891,000 units per year in August, 19.0% higher than the same month last year. Current construction levels continue low compared to the historical 10 years average. During the third quarter, the sale price of moldings in the United States showed a slight increase when compared to the previous quarter. During the third quarter of this year, timber markets continued a positive trend in volumes and prices. Sales orders have increased and prices have been slightly higher in most of the markets we sell.

Panels Division

Panel’s sales reached US$ 502.0 million in the third quarter of this year, a decrease of 2.5% when compared to the US$ 514.9 million obtained in the second quarter of the year. This is mainly explained by a decrease in average prices of 1.4%, partially offset by a 1.2% increase in volume sales.

The panels division (MDF, PBO, Plywood and HB) closed the third quarter of the year with an increase of 65% in sales compared to the same quarter of 2012 and a 62% in accumulated sales respect to the same period of 2012. On the other hand, volume sales increased 1.2% when compared to the previous quarter of the year and 73% compared to the third quarter of 2012, accumulating a 66% of growth in relation to the period from January to September 2012. This strong growth over the previous year reflects the consolidation of Flakeboard in

North America. During the third quarter of the year, plywood sales volume had a 10% drop compared to the second quarter of this year. This is mainly explained by a lower production level principally associated to the startup process of new equipment.

In the case of MDF, sales volume increased 3% with respect to the second quarter of 2013. This increase is explained by higher sales in Latin American markets such as Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. Compared to the same quarter of 2012, MDF volume sales showed a rise 69% which is explained by an increase of supply from Flakeboard in North America and also because of the start of the new MDF line in Jaguariaiva, Brazil.

Sales volume of PBO grew 2% when compared to the second quarter of this year, which highlights the increase in sales of melamine to Mexico. Compared to the same quarter of 2012, particleboard sales volume increased 164%. This increase is mainly explained by the contribution of sales coming from our operations in North America and by a higher volume of our Teno Plant in Chile. Sales of MDF moldings showed a higher demand in the North American market, which goes in line with the recovery of the Housing Starts Index.

Positive Net cash flow (negative)

     163,713        51,593   
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

The operating cash flow has a positive balance of U.S.$164 million in the current year, with differences with respect to the previous year (positive balance of U.S. $52 million). This is mainly due to a higher ratio of receipt of customer payments versus payments to suppliers and lower tax payments in the period 2013.

In relation to the flow of investment, the current financial year decreased U.S.$372 million (U.S.$889 million in 2012), mainly due to lower capital investments and lower payments for acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

6. MARKET RISK ANALYSIS

In respect of the economic risks resulting from interest rate variations, the Company maintains, as of September 30, 2013, a ratio of fixed rate debt to total consolidated debt of approximately 81.1%, which it believes is consistent with industry standards. The Company does not engage in futures against variations in the selling prices of pulp and forest products because it believes that risks resulting from price variations are limited, in large part because the Company maintains one of the lowest cost structures in the industry.

The Company and most of its subsidiaries maintain their accounting records and prepare their financial statements in U.S. dollars. Both the accounts receivable and most financial liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars or are covered by an exchange rate swap, as well as most of their revenues. As a result, exposure to changes in the exchange rate has decreased significantly.

In the report to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2013, Note 23, a detailed analysis of the risks associated with the business of Arauco is available.

Period covered by the Financial Statements

Period ended at September 30, 2013

Date of Approval of Financial Statements

These Interim consolidated financial statements were authorized and approved for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the Extraordinary Session N° 498 held on November 21 , 2013, for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2013.

Functional and Presentation Currency

Arauco and most of its subsidiaries has determined the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency since majority of its revenues from sales of its products are from exports, while its costs of sales are to a large extent related or index to the U.S. Dollar.

For the pulp operating segment, most of the sales are exports, and the costs are related mainly to plantation costs, which are settled in U.S. Dollars.

For the sawmill, panel and forestry operating segments, although total sales include a mix of domestic and exports sales, the prices for the products are established in U.S. Dollars, as is also the case for the cost structure of the related raw materials.

In relation to cost of sales, although the costs of labor and services are generally billed and paid in local currency, these costs are not as significant as the costs of raw materials, which are driven mainly by global markets and therefore, influenced mostly by the U.S. Dollar.

The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the U.S. dollar.

Figures on these consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollar (ThUS$).

Additional Information Relevant to the Understanding of the Financial Statements

The company Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío and its subsidiary Forestal Río Grande S.A. are consolidated, meet the requirements for classification as Special Purpose Entities. These entities are in substance controlled by Arauco, which is indicated, by the existence of exclusive contracts with Arauco for wood supply, future purchases of land and forest administration. Consequently, the financial statements of these companies are included in the consolidated financial statements of Arauco.

Compliance and adoption of IFRS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arauco present in all material respects its financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts reported. The estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are considered to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management believes that the accounting policies below are the critical judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

 

  Property, Plant and Equipment

In a business acquisition, management values the acquired property, plant and equipment and their useful lives in consultation with a third party expert.

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, with an impairment loss recognized whenever the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The value in use is calculated using a discounted cash flow model, which is most sensitive to the discount rate as well as the expected future cash inflows.

 

  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. Arauco uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each reporting date.

Detailed financial information about the fair value of financial instruments and sensitivity analysis are presented in Note 23.

 

  Biological Assets

The recovery of forest plantations is based on discounted cash flow models which mean that the fair value of biological assets is calculated using cash flows from continuing operations on a discounted basis, on our sustainable forest management plans and the estimated growth of forests.

These discounted cash flows require estimates in growth, harvest, sales prices and costs. It is therefore important that management make appropriate estimates of future levels and trends for sales and costs, as well as conduct regular surveys of the forests to establish the volumes of wood available for harvesting and their current growth rates. The main considerations used to measure forest plantations are presented in Note 20, including a sensitivity analysis.

 

  Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.

 

  Employee benefits

The cost of defined employee benefits for termination of employment, as well as the present value of the obligation is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuations involve making assumptions about discount rates, staff turnover, future salary increases and mortality rates.

 

  Litigation and Contingencies

Arauco and its subsidiaries are subject to certain litigation. Future effects on Arauco’s financial condition resulting from such litigation are estimated by management, in collaboration with its legal advisors. Arauco recognizes provisions on each statement of financial position date and/or upon each substantial modification to an underlying claim of any such litigation. For a description of current litigations see Note 18.

 

c) Consolidation

The Interim consolidated financial statements include all entities over which Arauco has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, which is presumed to exist when Arauco holds more than one half of the voting rights of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries (including special purpose entities) are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group and up to the date that control ceases.

An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Thus, the principle of control sets out the following three elements of control:

(a) power over the investee (that is, existing rights which give the ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee, that means, the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns)

(b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with the investee; and

(c) the ability to use power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.

The IFRS sets out requirements on how to apply the control principle:

(a) in circumstances when voting rights or similar rights give an investor power, including situations where the investor holds less than a majority of voting rights and in circumstances involving potential voting rights.

(b) in circumstances when an investee is designed so that voting rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the investee, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements.

(c) in circumstances involving agency relationships.

(d) in circumstances when the investor has control over specified assets of an investee.

The IFRS requires an investor to reassess whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.

When preparing consolidated financial statements, an entity must use uniform accounting policies for reporting like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Intragroup balances and transactions must be eliminated. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries must be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.

The profit or loss of each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to owners of the Company and the non-controlling interest, as appropriate. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests even if the result of the non-controlling interest have a deficit balance.

If a subsidiary uses accounting policies different than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for transactions and other events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made in the financial statements of subsidiaries to prepare consolidated financial statements to ensure compliance with Group’s accounting policies.

All intercompany transactions and unrealized gains and losses from subsidiaries have been fully eliminated from consolidation and non-controlling interests is presented in the Interim consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.

The interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the periods between January 1 and September 30, 2013 and 2012 include the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the subsidiaries shown in Note 13 and those of the Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío, and its subsidiary Forestal Río Grande S.A.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries have Brazilian Reales and Chilean Pesos as their functional currencies. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of those subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and translated into the presentation currency as indicated in Note 1 e) (ii).

 

d) Segments

Arauco has defined its operating segments according to its business areas, based on the products and services sold to its customers. This definition is consistent with the management, resource allocation and performance assessment made by key personnel responsible for making relevant decisions related to the Company’s operation. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer who is responsible for making these decisions and it is supported by the Corporate Managing Directors of each segment.

In line with the above, the Company established operating segments according to the following business units:

 

    Pulp

 

    Panels

 

    Sawn Timber

 

    Forestry

Refer to Note 24 for detailed financial information by operating segment.

 

e) Functional currency

 

(i) Functional currency

All items in the financial statements of Arauco and each of its subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the functional currency). The Interim consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is Arauco’s functional and presentation currency.

 

(ii) Translation to the presentation currency of Arauco

For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of Arauco’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

(iii) Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are recognized at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the periods in which they arise except for exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.

 

f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash-in-hand, deposits held on demand at banks and other short term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

g) Financial Instruments

 

(i) Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the short term.

Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging instruments. Assets in this category are classified as current assets and the obligation for these instruments is presented under other financial liabilities within the statement of financial position.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, which is the date on which Arauco commits itself to purchase or sell the asset.

The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of income. They are subsequently measured at fair value with any gains or losses from changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

Interest Rate and Currency Swaps: Swaps are measured using the discounted cash flow method at a discount rate consistent with the risk of the operation.

Foreign Exchange Forwards: These instruments are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Forwards are recognized as assets when fair value is positive and, as liabilities when fair value is negative.

The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturities.

The fair value of interest rate forward contracts is calculated by reference to the difference of the existing interest rates between the interest rate contractually agreed and the market interest rate at the end of each reporting period.

Mutual Funds: They are highly liquid instruments that are sold in the short term and are carried at their net asset value at the end of each period.

 

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those with maturities more than 12 months after the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables.

Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment.

Repurchase Agreements: These are recognized at their initial investment cost plus accrued interest at the end of each reporting period. These contracts have maturities of less than 30 days.

(iii) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Bank borrowings, debt issued (bonds) and financial liabilities of a similar nature are initially recognized at fair value. Transactions costs are included in the carrying amount of the liabilities and are amortized over the lives of the liabilities using the effective interest rate method).

In subsequent periods, they are measured at amortized cost and any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) received, and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss statement over the life of the debt using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The fair value of bank borrowings is determined using discounted cash flow techniques using rates consistent with the risk associated with bank borrowings of similar nature, while bonds are measured at their quoted market price.

(iv) Trade and other payables

These instruments are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

(v) Hedging instruments

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of income within other income or other expenses, respectively.

When a hedging instrument expires or is settled, or when it ceases to qualify for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity remains in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs, when the transaction occurs it is reclassified to profit or loss. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.

The fair value of hedging instruments is measured using internal model including discounted cash flow techniques that use a discount rate consistent with the operational risk using internal valuation methodology and market information from reputable suppliers.

 

h) Embedded derivatives

The Company evaluates the existence of embedded derivatives in financial instrument contracts to determine if their characteristics and risks are closely related to the main contract provided that the set is not recorded at fair value. If they are not closely related, they are recorded separately and the accounting changes are in the value of the consolidated results.

 

i) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method.

The cost of finished goods and products in process includes the cost of raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and general overhead expenses, excluding interest expenses.

Initial costs of harvested wood are determined at fair value less cost of sale at the point of harvest.

Biological assets are transferred to inventories when forests are harvested.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When market conditions result in the production costs of a product exceeding its net realizable value, the inventories are write-down to its net realizable value. This write-down also includes obsolescence amounts resulting from slow moving inventories and technical obsolescence.

Spare parts that will be consumed in a period of less than twelve months, are presented in inventories and recognized as an expense when they are consumed.

 

j) Non-current assets held for sale

The Group classifies as non-current assets held for sale property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments in associates and groups subject to expropriation (groups of assets to be sold together with their directly associated liabilities) which as of the closing date of the statement of financial position, are the subject of active sale efforts the completion of which is estimated to be highly probable.

These assets or groups subject to expropriation are valued at the lower of the carrying amount or the estimated retail value less the costs to carry it out, and are no longer amortized from the time they are classified as non-current assets held for sale.

 

k) Business Combinations

Arauco applies the acquisition method to account for a business combination. This method, requires to identify the acquirer, determine the acquisition date, recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; and recognize and measure goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any contingent liabilities in a business combination are initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For purposes of impairment testing, goodwill in a business combination is allocated as of the acquisition date to the cash generating unit of the group or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquire are allocated to those units or groups of units.

Acquisition-related costs are accounted for as expenses when they are incurred, except for costs to issue debt or equity securities which are recognized in accordance with IAS 32 and IAS 39.

A parent will present non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.

Changes in the ownership interest of a parent in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are equity transactions. Any difference between the amount which minority

interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent. in carrying amount of goodwill was not made any adjustments. Neither gains or losses were recognized in the income statement.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquire’s identifiable net assets. The choice is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

Arauco measures the fair value of the acquired company in the business combination on a step by step basis, recognizing the effects of variation in the income statement.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is not completed by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, Arauco reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period (no more than one year), these provisional amounts are retrospectively adjusted , or additional assets or liabilities are recognized to reflect new information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date, retrospectively.

 

l) Investments in associates and joint ventures

Associates are entities over which Arauco exercises significant influence, generally when it holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, but not control.

Joint venture is defined as an entity over which there is joint control, which exists only when the decisions about strategic of activities, both financial and operational, require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. Their carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize Arauco’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (exchange differences on translation to the reporting currency) of the associate or joint venture. Dividends received are recognized by deducting the carrying amount of the investment. Arauco’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss).

If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

These investments are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position in the line item “Investments accounted for using equity method”.

If Arauco’s share of losses of an associate or joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, Arauco discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After Arauco’s carrying value in the investee is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that Arauco has incurred

legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. If the associate or joint venture subsequently reports profits, Arauco resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognized.

 

m) Intangible assets

After initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

Amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life is allocated on a systematic basis over the asset’s useful life. Amortization begins when the asset is available for use, i.e., when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

 

(i) Computer Software

Computer software licenses are capitalized in terms of the costs incurred to acquire them and make them compatible with existing software. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives.

 

(ii) Water Rights, Easements and Other Rights

This item includes water rights, easements and other acquired rights recognized at historical cost which have indefinite useful lives as there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which these assets are expected to generate net cash inflows. These rights are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually, or when there is any indication that the assets might be impaired.

 

m) Goodwill

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on annual basis.

Goodwill recognized for the acquisition of the subsidiary Arauco do Brasil S.A. whose functional currency is the Brazilian Real, is translated into U.S. Dollars at the closing exchange rate. At the date of these financial statements, the only change in the carrying amount of goodwill is related to the net exchange rate differences on translation.

 

n) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.

Subsequent costs, such as improvements and replacement of components, are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Arauco and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized from property, plant and equipment. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Arauco capitalizes borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets as part of the cost of those assets, until the assets are ready for their intended use (see Note 12).

Depreciation is calculated by components using the straight-line method.

The useful lives of the items of property, plant and equipment is estimated according to the expected use of the assets.

The residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

 

o) Leases

Arauco applies CINIIF 4 to assess whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease. Leases of assets in which Arauco substantially holds all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Finance leases are initially recognized at the lower of the fair value at the inception of the lease of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

When assets are leased under a finance lease, the present value of lease payments are recognized as financial account receivables. Finance income, which is the difference between the gross receivable and the present value of such amount, is recognized as the interest rate of return.

Leases in which substantially all risks and rewards are not transferred to the lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

p) Biological Assets

IAS 41 requires that biological assets, such as standing trees, are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. Plantations forestry are accounted for at fair value less costs to sell, based on the presumption that fair values of these assets can be measured reliably.

The measurement of plantations forestry is based on discounted cash flow models whereby the fair value of the biological assets is determined using estimated future cash flows from continuing operations calculated using our sustainable forest management plans and including the estimated growth of the forests. This valuation is performed on the basis of each identifiable farm block and for each type of tree.

The measurement of new plantations forestry made during the current year, is made at cost, which corresponds to the fair value at that date. After twelve months, the valuation methodology used is that explained in the preceding paragraph.

Biological assets shown as current assets correspond to those plantations forestry that will be harvested in the short term.

Biological growth and changes in fair value of plantations forestry are recognized in line item other income included in profit from operating activities in the statement of income.

The Company holds fire insurance policies for its plantations forestry, which together with company resources and efficient protection measures for these plantations assets allow financial and operational risks to be minimized.

 

q) Income taxes and Deferred taxes

The tax liabilities are recognized in the financial statements based on the determination of taxable income for the year and calculated using the tax rates in force in the countries where Arauco operates.

Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and that are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

The goodwill arising on business combinations does not give rise to deferred tax.

The deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

 

r) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be

required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

 

s) Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when Arauco has transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and Arauco retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold. This means that generally revenues are recorded upon delivery of goods to customers in accordance with the agreed terms of delivery.

 

  (i) Revenue recognition from the Sale of Goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when Arauco has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when Arauco does not retain any managerial involvement over the goods sold and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to Arauco and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Sales are recognized in terms of the price agreed to in the sales contract, less any volume discounts and estimated product returns at the date of the sale. Volume discounts are evaluated in terms of estimated annual purchases. There is no significant financing component given that receivables from sales are collected within a short period, which is in line with market practices.

 

  (ii) Revenue recognition from Rendering of Services

When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably revenue associated with the transaction is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the date of the reporting period, and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Arauco.

Arauco mainly provides power supply which are traded in the spot market of the Sistema Interconectado Central (Interconnected Central System). According to current regulations, the prices on that market called “Marginal Costs” are calculated by the Centro de Despacho Económico de Carga del Sistema Interconectado Central (CDEC – SIC) (Load Economical Dispatch Center of the Interconnected Central System) and are generally recognized in the period in which the services are rendered.

Electrical power is generated as a by-product of the pulp process and is a complementary business to it, which is firstly supplied to the group’s subsidiaries and any surplus is sold to the interconnected central system.

Arauco provides other non-core services such as port services and pest control whose revenues are derived from fixed price service contracts, generally recognized during the period of the service contract on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

Revenues from operating segments mentioned in Note 24 are measured in accordance with the policies indicated in the preceding paragraphs.

Revenues from inter-segment sales (which are made at market prices) are eliminated in the interim consolidated financial statements.

 

t) Minimum dividend

Article No. 79 of the Chilean Corporations Law states that, unless otherwise unanimously agreed by the shareholders, corporations must distribute annually at least 30% of net income for the current year as cash dividend to shareholders determined in proportion to their shares or in the proportion established in the by-laws for preferred shares, if any, except where necessary to absorb accumulated losses from prior years.

The General Shareholders’ Meeting of Arauco agreed to distribute annual dividends at 40% of net distributable income, including an interim dividend to be distributed at year end. Dividends payable are recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the period when they are declared and approved by the Arauco’s shareholders or when arises the corresponding present obligation based on existing legislation or distribution policies established by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

The interim and final dividends are recorded in equity upon their approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and the shareholders.

Dividends payable are presented in the line item “other current non financial liabilities”.

Dividends paid are not deductible for income tax purposes.

 

u) Impairment

Non-financial Assets

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and other assets with finite useful lives are measured whenever there is any indication that the assets have suffered an impairment loss. Among the indications to consider as evidence of impairment are significant declines in the assets’ market value, significant adverse changes in the technological environment, obsolescence or physical damages of assets and changes in the manner in which the asset is used or expected to be used). Arauco evaluates at the end of each reporting period whether there is any evidence of the indications above mentioned.

For this evaluation, assets are grouped at the lowest level of group of assets that generates cash flows independently.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment or whenever circumstances indicate it. The recoverable amount of an intangible asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. Impairment losses are reversed so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

For the purposes of assessing impairment losses, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows separately for each cash-generating unit. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, which had suffered an impairment loss, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exists or have decreased.

“Cash-generating units” are the smallest identifiable groups of those cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflow from other assets or groups of assets.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for impairment testing purposes. The allocation is made between cash-generating units or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period, an evaluation is performed in order to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets may have been impaired. Financial assets are impaired only when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of a financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have been affected. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is established when there is objective evidence that Arauco will not receive payments under the original sale terms. Allowance is made when the customer is a party to a bankruptcy court agreement or cessation of payments, and are written-off when Arauco has exhausted all levels of recovery of the receivable in a reasonable time.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of receivables and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through the use of the allowance. If the impairment loss decreases in later periods, it is reversed either directly or by adjusting the provision for doubtful accounts, with effect in profit or loss.

v) Employee Benefits

Arauco has severance payment obligations arising from voluntary termination of employment. These are paid to certain employees that have been employed by the company for more than five years in accordance with conditions established within collective or individual employment contracts.

This is an estimate of the years of service-based severance payments to be recognized as a future termination payment liability, in accordance with contracts between Arauco and its employees and pursuant to actuarial valuation criteria for this type of liability. These obligations are considered a defined benefit plan.

The main factors considered for calculating the actuarial value of severance payments obligation for years of service are employee turnover, salary increases and life expectancy of the workers included in this benefit.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income in the year they are incurred.

These obligations are treated as post-employment benefits.

 

w) Employee Vacations

Arauco recognizes the expense for employee vacation according to labor legislation in each country on an accrual basis.

This obligation is presented in the line item “Trade and Other payables” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Inventories recognized as cost of sales at September 30, 2013 were ThU.S.$2,670,204 (ThU.S.$2,225,788 at September 30, 2012).

In order to recognize inventories at net realizable value, at September 30, 2013, a net increase of inventories associated with lower provision for obsolesce of ThU.S.$ 2,566 is recognized (lower provision of ThU.S.$2,403 as of September 30, 2012).

As of September 30, 2013 there are inventory penalties of ThU.S$1,724, at September 30, 2012 there were inventory penalties of ThU.S.$19,838, which were mainly caused as result of the fire that occurred in January 2012 affecting a panels plant in Complejo Forestal e Industrial Nueva Aldea.

The allowance of obsolescence is calculated based on the conditions of sale of products and age of inventory (inventory turnover).

No inventories have been pledged as security for liabilities at the end of each reporting period.

Agricultural Products

Agricultural Products are mainly forestry products that are intended for sale in the normal course of our operations and are measured at fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest at the end of each reporting period Agricultural products are classified as raw materials within the line item inventories.

NOTE 4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank checking account balances, time deposits, repurchase agreements and mutual funds. They are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

The investment objective of time deposits and repurchase agreements is to maximize in the short-term the amounts of cash surpluses. These instruments are permitted under Arauco’s Investment Policy, which allows investing in fixed income securities. These instruments have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

Arauco invests in local and international mutual funds in order to maximize the returns of cash surpluses denominated in Chilean Pesos or in foreign currencies such as U.S. Dollars or Euros. These instruments are permitted under Arauco’s Investment Policy.

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, there are no amounts of cash and cash equivalents with restrictions on use.

NOTE 6. TAXES

The tax rates applicable in the countries in which Arauco operates are 20% in Chile, 35% in Argentina, 34% in Brazil and 34% in the United States (federal tax).

On September 27, 2012, Law N° 20,630 was enacted in Chile, and among other changes, it increases the tax rate to a permanent 20%, effective beginning on taxes incurred in 2012. The change in the tax rate in 2012 affected the measurement of the tax consequences of temporary differences that are expected to reverse in the corresponding tax years.

The effect on the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 due to the change in tax rate was an expense of ThU.S.$128,981, which was generated mainly the result of the expected reversal of temporary differences associated with property, plant, equipment and biological assets.

The effect of changes in deferred tax liabilities related to cash flow hedges corresponds to a charge of ThU.S.$6,862 as of September 30, 2013 (credit of ThU.S.$3,838 as of September 30, 2012), which is presented deducting the reserve of cash flow hedges in the statement of changes in equity.

The deferred tax assets and liabilities expected to be recovered and settled in less than twelve months amounts to ThU.S.$19,322 and ThU.S.$124,347 respectively, will be reversed in the next 12 months (used over a period of 12 months).

Arauco does not offset deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities since there is no legal enforceable right to offset amounts recognized in these items that relate to different tax jurisdictions.

Description of Property, Plant and Equipment Pledged as Security for Liabilities

In October 2006, Forestal Río Grande S.A, a subsidiary of Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío (Arauco’s special purpose entity), executed in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. and Arauco, respectively, first and second degree mortgages, which prohibited the sale of any property owned by Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío in order to secure its obligations.

In September 2007, Forestal Río Grande S.A acquired a real estate in Yungay, located in Chile’s Eighth Region, for which the company executed a first and second degree mortgage in favor of JPMorgan and Arauco, respectively, which prohibited the sale and encumbrance of such property.

As of September 2013, there are no current contracts of between Arauco and Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío. Forest land and biological assets committed as collateral were sold to Arauco, so that there are no collateral assets in these consolidated financial statements to date.

Merger of forest companies

For several years now, the functioning of forest subsidiaries Forestal Celco S.A., Forestal Valdivia S.A. and Bosques Arauco S.A., has been gradually unified through the standardization of processes and services (planning, human resources, safety and occupational health), a measure which has further intensified on occasion of the FSC certification process and of the creation of the new management department of forestry operations.

For the purpose of continuing to optimize processes and adopt the best practices within the Forest Business’s operations, the abovementioned companies shall be integrated through a gradual process of mergers. Said task began with the integration of companies Bosques Arauco S.A. and Forestal Valdivia S.A., which - prior approval of their respective shareholders - merged as from July 1, 2013, operating under the name Forestal Valdivia S.A.

Later, the newly created Forestal Valdivia S.A. shall be integrated with Forestal Celco S.A. and, thus, most of Arauco’s forestry assets shall remain under only one Company. This Company shall have three operational centers: North, Center and South, that shall be equivalent to what Forestal Celco, Bosques Arauco and Forestal Valdivia are currently.

Bosques Arauco S.A., the company merged on July 1, 2013, contributed its assets and liabilities at carrying amount.

On that same date, Forestal Arauco S.A. was split-off, creating company Forestal Viñales S.A., to which shares in Forestal Celco S.A. were contributed. This operation - which had no effect in the results - was performed within the context of the final restructuring and merging process of the aforementioned forest companies.

The above mergers did not generate accounting effects in the current consolidated financial statements, since they were considered as a reorganization of companies under joint control.

As of September 1, 2013, Forestal Arauco S.A. merged and absorbed Forestal Valdivia S.A., a transaction which generated a tax gain (Income Tax Act, Article 31, No. 9), of 97 million dollars, sum which entailed the registration of an asset corresponding to deferred taxes for 19 million dollars (See Note 6).

NOTE 16. INTERESTS IN JOINT VENTURES

Investments and contributions made

As of September 30, 2013, Arauco, through its subsidiary Arauco Holanda Cooperatief U.A, made capital contributions for a total of ThU.S.$76,672 (ThU.S.$145,977 as of December 31, 2012) to two Uruguayan joint ventures, Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A., with Arauco holding 50% ownership interest in the joint venture. This transaction had no effect on results.

Celulosa y Energia Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A. are both involved in the project known as “Montes del Plata”, the purpose of which is to build a cutting edge cellulose production plant, with a capacity of 1.3 million tons per year, a port and an energy generation unit utilizing renewable resources, which will be located at the town of Punta Pereira, Province of Colonia, Uruguay.

In March 2012 Arauco do Brasil S.A. (a subsidiary) made a capital contribution to Unilin Arauco Pisos Ltda. ( Ex Arauco Pisos Laminados S.A.) in the form of assets for a total of ThR$24,990 (ThU.S.$11,230 at September 30, 2013) for the flooring line of the Pien location (Paraná Brasil), no gain or loss was recognized on this contribution. In April 2012, Arauco sold a 50% interest of Unilin Arauco Pisos Ltda. to Mohwak Unilin International B.V. for ThR$12,500 (ThU.S.$5,617 at September 30, 2013), becoming a joint venture.

price for this transaction was equivalent to its carrying amount, thus had no effect on profit or loss. This company is engaged in manufacturing, processing, industrialization and selling of wood laminate floors.

At the date of these financial statements, Arauco has committed capital contributions and/ or loans to Montes del Plata for 47 million euros (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 63,574).

Investments in Uruguay

The main assets acquired from former owner Grupo Empresarial Ence (Spanish company) during the year 2009 are: 130,000 hectares of land of which 73,000 hectares are forestry plantations; 6,000 hectares under agreements with third parties; one industrial site, the necessary environmental permits for the construction of a pulp mill; a river terminal; one chip producing mill, and one forest nursery.

All these assets were added to the land and plantations that Stora Enso and Arauco already control through a joint venture in Uruguay. With these additions, the joint venture currently maintains ownership interest in forestry area of approximately 220 thousand hectares of land, of which 135 thousand hectares are planted.

Investments in Uruguay are joint ventures because of existing contracts that stipulate that both Arauco and Stora Enso maintain joint control of such investments, each holding a 50% stake.

Furthermore, Arauco holds a 50% in Eka Chile S.A. (“Eka”), a company that sells sodium chlorate to cellulose plants in Chile. A contractual agreement in effect between Arauco and Eka has permitted Arauco and Eka to initiate certain joint venture activities.

NOTE 17. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

Effects of forestry fire

On January 2, 2012, Paneles Arauco S.A.’s industrial facilities were materially damaged due to forestry fires. Such industrial facilities had production capacity of 450 thousand cubic meters of panels per year.

The fire destroyed the machinery, equipment and facilities of the panel processing area, as well as the administration buildings and inventory warehouses. It also damaged the operations of the biomass energy generation facility. The operations resumed on January 6, 2012.

Paneles Arauco S.A. had insurance policies covering fire damages. The insurance policies covered damages in the plants, industrial and non-industrial facilities, equipment, machinery, inventories, as well as losses due to business interruption.

All expenses due to fire damages were recognized as incurred. Insurance reimbursements were recognized as receivables once sufficient supporting documentation that the reimbursement would be received and/or at the date the reimbursement was received.

The line items in the financial statements as of December 31, 2012 include the following relating to the effect of the forestry fire:

 

    Trade and other current receivables include insurance reimbursements not yet received for ThU.S.$29,819 relating to damages to property, plant and equipment, Inventories and business interruption.

    Inventories write down of ThU.S.$19,841.

 

    During April and August 2012, Arauco received ThU.S.$120,000, as insurance reimbursement out of which ThU.S.$40,000 relates to business interruption losses, ThU.S.$70,000 to physical damage of property, plant and equipment and ThU.S.$10,000 to inventories losses.

During August and December 2012, Arauco received reimbursements from insurance relating to damaged inventory and property, plant and equipment.

 

    The insurance reimbursement for inventory damaged was ThUS$20,801, which at the end of the reporting period has been fully received.

 

    The insurance reimbursement received in December 2012, for property, plant and equipment damaged and business interruption losses were ThUS$96,986 and ThUS$46,088, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, an outstanding amount of ThUS$29,819 is yet to be received, which has been presented as trade and other current receivables.

Other effects

In December 2011, particle board (PBO) lines of Curitiba Plant (Brazil) were shut down due to higher cost of maintenance. The Company recognized an impairment loss of ThUS$6,088 related to machinery and equipment.

In the period 2013, there are no new provisions for impairment associated cash generating units to inform.

Goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to the groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The goodwill generated by the investment in Arauco do Brasil S.A. (formerly Tafisa) was allocated to the Pien panel segment plant. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit was determined based on calculations of its value in use. For this calculation we used the expected future cash flows based on the operational plan approved by the management for 10-year period, applying a discount rate

of 10%, which does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the panel segment in Brazil. As of September 30, 2013 this goodwill amounted to ThU.S.$ 47,637 (ThU.S.$ 51,649 as of December 31, 2012) for a total of goodwill of ThU.S$ 54,406. The change in the balance of goodwill from Brasil is due only to the exchange difference on translation. Therefore, there has been no increase in the provision of deterioration.

NOTE 18. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Lawsuits or other Legal Proceedings

The contingent liabilities that Arauco deems appropriate to disclose are as follows:

Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion S.A.

1. On April 27, 2005, the National Defense Council (Consejo de Defensa del Estado) filed a civil lawsuit against Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion S.A. for reparation of environmental harm and indemnification, caused by the Valdivia Mill Plant, before the First Civil Court of Valdivia (Primer Juzgado Civil de Valdivia) (Rol 746-2005).

The Company filed its response, arguing that it is not responsible for the environmental damages and therefore that the indemnification payments as well as the alleged reparation, are inadmissible. Currently, expert reports have already been submitted, most of which were against the Company’s position. On September 5, 2011, observations regarding the experts’ reports were presented. The inspection of the court was held on the 13, 14 and 15 of March 2012. On March 13, 2013 the Court ordered the parties to hear judgment.

Subsequently, on March 26, 2013, the Court summoned the parties to two settlement hearings, which were conducted without positive results. Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. mentioned to the Court a settlement proposal that it had submitted to evaluation.

On July 27, 2013, a first instance definitive ruling was issued in favor of the claim, with court expenses, particularly ordering that the company execute (at its own cost) the following measures in order to preserve the Nature Sanctuary:

To perform a study of the current status of the Wetland, through an interdisciplinary team comprised of various experts in the fields of biology, chemistry and physics, for which it must create an independent committee in which the parties participate, for a term that shall not exceed one year. The studies shall include the status of water and the Wetland’s flora and fauna.

The creation of an artificial wetland, as a sentinel controlled environment, with representative species of the río Cruces, which receive the first impact of the discharge of riles, which shall be located immediately after the tertiary treatment and before their discharge into the Río Cruces.

The performance of a constant environmental monitoring program by the defendant company, for a period that shall not be inferior to 5 years, which shall be conducted pursuant with the environmental assessment conditions set froth in RCA 279/98 and its subsequent amendments, by the competent authorities, notwithstanding those that may order.

The creation of a Wetlands Investigation Center, pursuant with what has been proposed by the defendant company.

Community development programs related to the Wetland, in the manner that has been proposed by the defendant company.

With regards to damages, the ruling fails to specify their nature or amount, which will therefore have to be subsequently determined.

Said ruling was notified to the Company on August 9, 2013. After a thorough analysis of the ruling, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. decided to abide by it, since the environmental problems that occurred in the Carlos Andwanter wetland in year 2004 were caused mainly by the Celulosa Valdivia plant. This decision was made because it would allow for the creation of the conditions for commencing - as soon as possible - the effective implementation of measures in favor of the Wetland, without waiting for further judicial terms.

Currently the judgment is enforceable.

2. On August 25, 2005, the Chilean Servicio de Impuestos Internos (the “Chilean IRS”) issued tax calculations No. 184 and No. 185 of 2005, objecting to certain capital reduction transactions effected by Arauco on April 16, 2011 and October 31, 2001, and furthermore, requested reimbursement from the Company for amounts returned to it in respect of certain claimed tax losses. On November 7, 2005, the Company requested a Review of the Supervision Action (Revisión de la Actuación Fiscalizadora, or “RAF”), which is an administrative review of the tax action brought by the Chilean IRS, and filed a claim disputing the abovementioned tax calculations No. 184 and 185 of 2005. The RAF was resolved on January 9, 2009 by the Chilean IRS, which resolution, however, only partially sustained the Company’s request. In response, the Company filed an additional complaint with regard to the portion of the RAF that was not granted by the administrative review. On February 19, 2010, the Court acknowledged receipt of the Company’s request. Subsequently, the tax authority issued a report and the Company commented on such report. This case is currently pending.

3. On September 22, 2011 Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion S.A. was notified of a civil claim for compensation of prejudice for an alleged tort liability, filed by twelve fishermen of the Mataquito river before the Court of First Instance, Guarantee and Family of Licantén under Docket number 73-2011, arising out of the dead fish allegedly found in the Mataquito river on September 5, 2007 caused by the Licancel Plant. The plaintiffs seek to be compensated for alleged damages that they have suffered from the aforementioned event, including lost profits, harm and suffering and an alleged contractual liability. Probationary period was finished, only need to be answered two letters addressed to several authorities and solve some incidences raised.

4. On December 20, 2012, the Company was notified of the civil damages claim in summary proceedings, lodged by a group of settlers in the La Concepción sector, near to the Nueva Aldea Plant, the settlers are claiming compensation for alleged environmental

damages that affected their quality of life. The claim demands monetary and non-monetary damages. The purported damages refer to atmospheric emissions, pollution in streams, risks related with truck transit and forest fire risks.

On December 27, 2012, the Company requested and obtained from the Court that the lawsuit be treated as ordinary and not summary proceedings. Currently the case is pending issued the corresponding self-test, having already exhausted the discussion period.

Alto Paraná S.A.

1. (i)On October 8, 2007, the Federal Administration of Public Income (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos) (“AFIP”) initiated an ex oficio proceeding against the Company’s Argentine affiliate Alto Paraná S.A. (“APSA”) questioning whether APSA erred in deducting from its income tax liability certain expenses, interest payments and exchange rate differences generated by Private Negotiable Obligations which were issued by APSA in 2001 and paid in 2007.

On November 20, 2007, APSA submitted a counterclaim to the claims presented by AFIP, completely rejecting all of AFIP’s allegations and asserting legal arguments that justify its actions in the determination of its tax burden.

On December 14, 2007, AFIP notified APSA that its counterclaim had been dismissed, thus issuing an ex oficio ruling and ordering the payment, within 15 working days, of the calculated income tax difference for the 2002, 2003 and 2004 fiscal years of $417,908,207 Argentine Pesos including capital (ThU.S.$ 72,185 at September 30, 2013), compensatory interest, and fines for omission.

On February 11, 2008, APSA appealed the aforementioned ruling before the National Tax Court (Tribunal Fiscal de la Nación) (“TFN”).

On February 8, 2010, APSA was notified of TFN’s ruling, which confirmed the ruling issued by AFIP, with court expenses, based on arguments different from those that justified AFIP’s ex oficio decision. This decision by the TFN extinguished the administrative process. As a result, the Company’s only remaining option was to pursue a remedy before the Contentious Administrative Matters Federal Appeals Court (Cámara de Apelaciones en lo Contencioso Administrativo Federal) (“CACAF”) and, subsequently, the National Supreme Court of Justice (Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Nación).

On February 15, 2010, APSA appealed before the CACAF, making all necessary submissions with the purpose of attaining a revocation of the contested decision. APSA paid litigation fees (tasa de justicia) in the amount of $5,886,053 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$1,017 at September 30, 2013).

On March 18, 2010, the CACAF issued a court decree in which it ordered the AFIP to refrain from requesting the blocking of preventive interim relief measures, administratively demanding payment, issuing debt invoices, or initiating judicial collection actions, including seizure of property and other enforcement measures, against APSA until CACAF reaches a decision on APSA’s request for an injunction.

On May 13, 2010, the CACAF decided to grant the injunction requested by APSA, ordering to suspend the enforcement of the AFIP resolution until the final decision on this matter. This injunction was granted by the CACAF subject to the granting of a corresponding bond. On May 19, 2010, APSA filed with the Appeal Court a surety policy issued by Zurich Argentina Cía. de Seguros S.A. On May 20, 2010, the CACAF asked APSA to specify the areas covered by the suretyship insurance. On May 28, 2010 APSA complied with this request and attached Endorsement No. 1 of the surety policy in favor of the CACAF – Trial Chamber I – in the amount of $ 633,616,741 Argentine Pesos (equivalent to ThU.S.$109,444 as of September 30, 2013), which includes initial capital, plus adjustments and interests to the date of the bond. On June 2, 2010 the CACAF accepted this surety filed by APSA and sent notice to AFIP of the injunction granted. On June 4, 2010 the AFIP was notified of the ruling dated May 13, 2010, which is final since June 22, 2010.

On February 01, 2013, APSA received notice of the decision dated December 28, 2012, whereby the I Chamber of Appeals rejected the appeal lodged by the Company, confirming the ex officio determination of the AFIP, and imposed the judicial fees for both instances as per their generation, since there was contradictory case law. The Company appealed this decision before the Supreme Court of the Nation via the various legal procedural remedies available. On February 4, 2013, the Company filed an ordinary appeal against the Chamber’s decision and on February 19, 2013, it also filed an extraordinary appeal against the same judgment, both before the Supreme Court of the Nation. On May 6, 2013, APSA was notified of the decision of the Court of Appeals that, as of April 23, 2013 granted the ordinary appeal to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation and was present, to her chance the Extraordinary Appeal field. On May 27, 2013, the file was forwarded to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Country. On June 3, 2013, APSA was notified of the procedural ruling issued by the High Court on May 29, 2013, declaring that the Ordinary Appeal had been duly received. On June 17, 2013, APSA submitted a duly founded presentation in connectin to the Appeal, which the Corte subsquently ordered to be transfered to AFIP, circumstance which was notified on June 28, 2013.

The reasoning of the Chamber of Appeals’ decision did not modify the opinion of our external counsel in that the Company acted in accordance with law when deducting the interest, expenses and exchange differences in the indebtedness challenged by the State, and they still hold that there are good possibilities for the decision to be quashed, rendering without effect AFIP’s ex officio determination.

(ii)Within the course of this case’s proceedings, and particularly regarding payment of the litigation fees (tasa de justicia) before the TFN, on July 18, 2008, the Examining Officer ordered APSA to pay $10,447,705 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$1,805 at September 30, 2013) as payment of Tasa de Actuación (Litigation Fee) before the TFN. On August 14 2008, APSA filed a petition with the court requesting that this order be reconsidered, or in the alternative, rejected on the grounds that the requested amount was unreasonable. APSA provided evidence that it had paid $1,634,914 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$282 at September 30, 2013), considering that this was the actual amount due, pursuant to Law, for the Tasa de Actuación (Litigation Fee). On April 13, 2010, the First Courtroom of the CACAF denied APSA’s appeal. On April 26, 2011 APSA filed an ordinary appeal against the latter decree before the Supreme Court of the Justice, which was granted on February, 3, 2011. On June 23, 2011 the brief with the ordinary appeal was filed before the Supreme Court. On July, 14,

2011 the AFIP answered the petition of this brief. On May 8, 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that the ordinary remedy was wrongly admitted, since the appealed sentence was not a final ruling. The case file was returned to Chamber I of the National Appeals Court of Adversarial Administrative Matters. On June 15, 2012, APSA requested that the case be suspended until the substantial issues of the case were resolved, a request which was rejected by the CACAF on June 25, 2012. On July 2, 2012, APSA filed a motion to reconsider, requesting that such ruling be rendered ineffective and the extraordinary proceeding be suspended until the substantial issues of the case were ruled on, also expressing that it still maintained its interest in the extraordinary remedy that was submitted. On August 21, 2012, APSA filed a presentation which expressed its interest to maintain the extraordinary appeal. Based on their analysis of the grounds underlying the appeal, APSA’s counsel has an optimistic view of the case.

2. On November 28, 2008, Alto Paraná S.A. (APSA) was notified of Resolution 212 issued by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) on November 19, 2008, by which the BCRA ordered Indictment No. 3991 questioning the timely liquidation of certain foreign currency.

With respect to APSA’s export proceeds. APSA responded to the charges in a timely and correct manner. Currently, the report is in Nº 8 Economic Criminal Court, 16th Secretariat.

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements and considering the preliminary state of proceedings, Alto Paraná S.A. (APSA) legal advisors are not in a position to estimate the outcome. Therefore, with the understanding that there are no legal grounds for the charges, no provision has been made for this claim. At the closing date there are no other contingencies that might significantly affect the Company’s financial, economic or operational conditions.

Arauco do Brasil S.A.

On November 8, 2012, Brazilian Tax Authorities issued an Infraction Notice against one of our Brazilian subsidiaries, Arauco do Brasil S.A., for alleged unpaid taxes purportedly due by such company for the years 2006 to 2010 in the aggregate amount of R$172 million (approximately US$85 million). In particular, the Tax Authorities (i) objected to the deductibility of certain payments made and expenses incurred (including premium amortization, interest and legal expenses) by Arauco do Brasil between 2005 and 2010 and (ii) alleged that Arauco do Brasil made certain underpayments in respect of the Brazilian Corporate Income Tax (“IRPJ”) and the Brazilian Social Contribution on Net Profits (“CSL”) during 2010. Currently, the aggregate amount of the claims asserted in the Infraction Notice, plus interest, correspond to R$177 million (approximately US$88 million).

On December 11, 2012, Arauco do Brasil filed an objection to cancel the Infraction Notice before the Judgment Office of the Brazilian Revenue Service, first administrative level. As of the date of this annual report, judgment in respect of this objection remains pending. The Company believes that its objection to the Infraction Notice is supported by solid legal arguments and that there is a reasonable likelihood that this matter will result in a favorable outcome for the Company. However, if this result does not occur, it is possible that an obligation will arise for the amount specified, plus any accrued interest and penalties as of the payment date.

NOTE 20. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

Biological assets comprise of plantations forestry, of mainly radiata and taeda pine, and to a lower extent of eucalyptus. The plantations are located in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, with a total surface of 1.5 million hectares, out of which 930 thousand hectares are used for forestry planting, 385 thousand hectares are native forest, 145 thousand hectares are used for other purposes and 62 thousand hectares not yet planted.

As of September 30, 2013, the production volume of logs totaled 15.2 million cubic meters (14.1 million cubic meters as of September 30, 2012).

The main considerations in determining the fair value of biological assets include the following:

 

  Arauco uses the discounted expected future cash flows of its forest plantations, which are based on a harvest projection date for all existing plantations.

 

  Current plantations forestry are current expectations total volume does not decrease, with a minimum equal to the current supply demand.

 

  Future plantations are not considered.

 

  The harvest of plantations forestry supplies raw material for all other products that Arauco produces and sells. By directly controlling the development of forests that will be processed, Arauco ensures to itself, high quality timber for each of its products.

 

  Expected cash flows are determined in terms of harvest and expected sale of forestry products, associated with the demand from the Company’s owned industrial centers and sales to third parties at market prices. Sales margin is also considered in the valuation of the different products that are harvested in the forest. Any changes in the fair value of the plantations are recognized in profit or loss in the line item other income within the statement of income. Changes in fair value of biological assets were ThUS$202,604 as of September 30, 2013 and ThUS$171,498, as of September 30, 2012, respectively. As a result of measuring biological assets at its fair value a higher cost of sales of ThUS$169,656 as of September 30, 2013 and ThUS$182,628 was recognized as of September 30, 2012, resulting from the difference between the cost of wood at fair value versus actual cost incurred.

 

  Plantations forestry are harvested according to the needs of Arauco’s production plants.

 

  The discount rates used are 8% in Chile, 12% in Argentina and 8% in Brazil.

 

  It is expected that prices of harvested timber are constant in real terms based on market prices.

 

  Cost expectations with respect to the lifetime of the forests are constant based on estimated costs included in the projections made by Arauco.

 

  The average crop age by species and country is:

 

     Chile      Argentina      Brazil

     10         409,104   
     -10         (409,104

Differences in valuation of biological assets, in the discount rate and in the margins are recognized in the Statement of Income under line items “other income” and “other expenses”, as appropriate.

Plantations forestry classified as current Biological assets are those to be harvested and sold within twelve months after the reporting period.

The Company has contracted fire insurance policies for its plantations forestry, which in conjunction with company resources and efficient protection measures for these forestry assets allow financial and operational risks to be minimized.

Uruguay

Arauco owns biological assets in Uruguay through a joint venture with Stora Enso, which is accounted for in these consolidated financial statements under the equity method (see Note 16).

As of September 30, 2013, Arauco’s investment in Uruguay represented a total of 110 thousand hectares, out of which 68 thousand hectares are allocated to plantations, 5 thousand hectares to native forest, 33 thousand hectares for other uses, and 4 thousand hectares for planting.

Detail of Biological Assets Pledged as Security

There are no forestry plantations pledged as security, except for those owned by Forestal Río Grande S.A. (affiliate of Fondo de Inversiones Bio Bio). In October 2006, Forestal Río Grande S.A. has pledged its forestry plantations with prohibition to sell and encumber them to secure its liabilities with JPMorgan and Arauco.

As of September 30, 2013, There are no forestry plantations pledged as security (ThU.S.$2,394 as of December 31, 2012).

For Arauco, sustainability means management strategy. This strategy incorporates values, commitments and standards, that together with the adoption of best practices as well as the use of the latest available technologies, seek to continuously improve the Company’s environmental management. It is the environmental department and each of its specialists that ensure these guidelines are met and are put in to practice in everyday company operations.

All of Arauco’s production units have certified environmental management systems, which reinforce the Company’s commitment to environmental performance and ensure the traceability of all raw materials used.

Arauco uses several supplies in its productive processes such as wood, chemical products, and water, etc., which in turn produce liquid and gas emissions. As a way to make the Company’s environmental management more efficient, significant progress has been made to reduce consumption and emissions.

Environmental investments have been made related to the control of atmospheric emissions, process improvements, water and waste management, as well as effluent treatment, in order to improve the environmental performance of all of Arauco’s business units.

Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

The carrying amount of trade and other receivables, trade and others payables, accounts payables related parties, cash and cash equivalents, and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments, and, in the case of trade and other receivables, due to the fact that any loss resulting from its recoverability is already reflected in the provision for impairment losses.

The fair value of non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities that are not traded in active markets is estimated through the use of discounted cash flows that are calculated over market variables that are observable at the date of the financial statements.

The fair values of bonds issued were determined with reference to quoted market prices as they have standard terms and conditions and traded on an active liquid market.

The fair value of bank borrowings were determined based on discounted cash flow analysis, applying the corresponding discount yield curves to the remaining term to maturity.

The following table sets forth the current portion of the non-current bank borrowings and debt issued as of September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012.

FINANCIAL ASSETS

Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (Held for Trading)

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. Financial assets classified in this category are mainly acquired for sale in the short term. Derivatives are also classified as trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging instruments. Assets in this category are classified as current assets and are recorded at fair value with changes in value recognized profit or loss. These financial assets are held with the objective of maintaining adequate liquidity levels to meet the Arauco’s obligations.

Hedging Instruments

As of September 30, 2013, Arauco has certain derivatives designated as hedging instruments for cash flow hedge purposes. Specifically, Arauco has designated cross currency swaps as hedging instruments whose fair value was ThU.S.$60,524 for those in an asset position and ThU.S.$7,899 for those in a liability position, which are presented in the consolidated statements of financial position in the line items “other non-current financial assets” and “other non-current financial liabilities”, respectively. Arauco has also designated foreign exchange forwards as hedging instruments whose fair value was ThU.S.$216, which is presented in the consolidated statements of financial position in the line item other current financial assets. Changes in fair value during the period have been recognized in other comprehensive income and have been accumulated in equity.

Nature of Risk

Arauco is exposed to the risk of variability in cash flows from changes in foreign exchange rates, mainly due to balances of assets denominated in U.S. Dollars and liabilities denominated in UF (obligations to the public), which causes mismatches that could affect operating results.

Swaps Hedging Series E Bonds

Hedged Item

In November 2008 Arauco issued bond series E for a total of UF 1,000,000, at an annual interest rate 4.00%, payable semi-annually. In order to mitigate the risk of variability in cash flows from changes in the exchange rate, Arauco entered into a cross-currency swap, which fully covered the amount of the bond issued:

Contract 2: Arauco receives semi-annual interest (May and November) based on a notional amount of UF 1,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 3.96%, and pay semiannual interest (May and November) based on a notional amount of U.S.$ 47.16 million (equivalent to UF 1,000,000 at the year-end exchange rate) at an annual interest rate of 3.97%. This contract matures on November 15, 2021. The fair value is ThU.S.$347 as of September 30, 2013. According to the effectiveness test performed the swap is 100% effective, therefore was not ineffectiveness recognized in the income.

Based on its test of effectiveness, Arauco determined that the hedging instrument is highly effective to offset the variability in cash flows of the hedged item from changes in the exchange rate.

Hedging Strategy

Considering that Arauco has a high percentage of assets denominated in U.S. Dollars (its functional currency), it is exposed to the risk of exchange rate as it has bonds issued denominated in U.F. (Chilean inflation-indexed, peso-denominated monetary unit). The objective of entering into cross currency swaps is to hedge the variability in cash flows for the U.F. exchange rate, exchanging the cash flows from the bonds issued denominated in U.F., with cash flows in U.S. Dollar at a fixed exchange rate determined at inception of the cross currency swaps.

Time Deposits and Repurchase Agreements:

The investment objective of time deposits and repurchase agreements is to maximize in the short-term the amounts of cash surpluses. These instruments are authorized by Arauco’s Investment Policy, which allows investing in fixed income securities. These instruments have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

Trades and Other Receivables: These represent enforceable rights for Arauco resulting from the normal course of the business.

Other Receivables: These correspond to receivables from sales, services or loans that are not considered within the normal course of the business.

The provision for doubtful accounts is presented as a deduction of trade and other receivables. The provision for doubtful accounts is established when there is objective evidence that Arauco will not receive payments under the original sale terms. Provisions are made when the customer is a party to a bankruptcy court agreement or cessation of payments, and are written-off when Arauco has exhausted all levels of recovery of debt in a reasonable time.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position as of September 30, 2013, have been measured based on the valuation methodologies provided in IAS 39. The methodologies applied for each financial instrument are classified according to their hierarchy as follows:

 

  Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

  Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

 

  Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

To value Level II instruments, in this particular case the swap, since the cross currency swap have 2 components, which are future flows in UF and future flows in dollars, what should be done is to calculate the present value of these flows. To bring the future cash flows up to date, must take 2 curves of discount must be considered, which are the zero coupon curve UF and zero coupon curve dollar. In both cases Bloomberg terminal is used as an information source.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

The Credit and Collections Department, which reports to the Financial Department, is responsible for minimizing receivables credit risk and supervising past due accounts. It is also responsible for the approval or rejection of credit limits for all sales. The standards and procedures governing the control and risk management of credit sales are set forth the Company’s Credit Policy.

For customer credit line approval and/or modification, all Arauco group companies must follow an established procedure. All Credit requests are entered into a Credit Evaluation model (EVARIE) where all available information is analyzed, including the credit line given by the credit insurance company. Subsequently, credit requests are approved or rejected by the internal committee of each company within the Arauco group considering the maximum amount authorized by the Credit Policy Department. If the credit line exceeds the maximum established amount, it is subsequently analyzed by the Corporate Committee. Credit lines are renewed on a yearly basis.

Sales with letters of credit are mainly to Asia and the Middle East. Credit assessments of the issuing banks are performed periodically, in order to obtain domestic and international credit ratings made by the principal credit rating agencies, and of their financial position over the past five years. Depending on this evaluation, it is decided whether the issuing bank is approved or confirmation of the letter of credit is requested.

All sales are controlled by a credit verification system that has set parameters to block orders from customers who have accumulated past due amounts of a defined percentage of the debt and/or customers who at the time of product delivery have exceeded their credit limit or whose credit limit has expired.

Of total trade receivables as of September 30, 2013, 91.09% is the debt to date, the 8.36% is between 1 and 30 days past due, 0.44% are between 30 and 60 days past due, 0.07% are between 60 and 90 days, 0.0315% are between 90 and 120 days.

Regarding the credit risk of time deposits, repurchase agreements and mutual funds, Arauco has in place a policy that minimizes the risk through guidelines for management of cash flow surpluses in low-risk institutions.

Currently there is a policy for provisions for doubtful accounts receivable under IFRS for all the Arauco group companies.

Investment Policy:

Arauco has an Investment Policy which identifies and limits the financial instruments and the entities that Arauco and its subsidiaries are authorized to invest in.

The company’s Treasury Department is centralized with operations in Chile. The Head Office is responsible for carrying out investments, cash flow surplus investments, and short and long term debt subscriptions. Exceptions to this rule are specific investments made through other companies where authorization is required from the Chief Financial Officer.

For financial instruments, the only permitted investments are fixed income investments and instruments with adequate liquidity. Each instrument has defined classifications and limits, depending on duration and type of issuer.

Regarding to intermediaries (such as banks, securities brokers and broker/dealers of mutual funds), a scoring methodology is used to determining the relative degree of risk of each intermediary based on their financial position and assigning score points that result in a credit risk rating to each intermediary. Arauco uses this scoring system to determine its investment limits for each intermediary.

The required information to evaluate the various criteria are obtained from published financial statements from the banks under evaluation and from the credit risk ratings of short and long term debt securities obtained from rating agencies authorized by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (Fitch Ratings Chile, Humphreys and Feller Rate).

The criteria evaluated are: Capital and Reserves, Current Ratio, Return on equity, Net Income to Operating income Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio and the Credit Risk rating of each entity.

Any necessary exceptions regarding investment limits in each particular instrument or entity must have the authorization from Arauco’s Chief Financial Officer.

Liquidity Risk

Description

This risk corresponds to Arauco’s ability to fulfill its financial obligations upon maturity.

Explanation of Liquidity Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco’s exposure to liquidity risk is mainly from its obligations to bondholders, banks and financial institutions, creditors and other payables. Liquidity risk may arise if Arauco is unable to meet the net cash flow requirements, which sustain its operations under both normal and exceptional circumstances.

Type of Risk: Market Risk – Exchange Rate

Description

Market risk arises from the probability of being affected by losses from fluctuations in currencies exchange rates in which assets and liabilities are denominated, in a functional currency other than the functional currency of Arauco.

Explanation of Currency Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco is exposed to the foreign currency risk from currency fluctuations arising from sales, purchases and obligations undertaken in foreign currencies, such as the Chilean Peso, Euro, Brazilian Real or other foreign currencies. In the case of significant exchange rate variations, the Chilean Peso is the currency that represents the main currency risk. See note 11 for details assets and liabilities classified by currency.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

Arauco performs sensitivity analyses to measure the currency risk over the EBITDA and Net Income.

Sensitivity analysis considers a variation of +/- 10% of the exchange rate over the Chilean Peso. This fluctuation range is considered possible given current market conditions at the closing date. With all other variables at a constant rate, a U.S. Dollar exchange rate variation of +/- 10% in relation to the Chilean Peso would mean a change in the net income after tax +/- 0.44% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/-2,125), and +/- 0.02% of assets (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/-1,795) and +/-0,03 over the EBITDA (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/-340).

The main financial instrument subject to the risk in exchange rate corresponds to domestic bonds issued denominated in UF and that are not hedged with cross currency swaps described in the hedge accounting disclosures.

Bonds Issued in UF (P Series) (*)

     3,000,000         3,000,000   

Additionally, a sensitivity analysis is carried out assuming a variation of +/- 10% in the closing exchange rate on the Brazilian Real, which is considered a possible range of fluctuation given the market conditions at the closing date. With all the other variables constant, a variation of +/- 10% in the exchange rate of the dollar on the Brazilian Real would mean a variation on the net income after tax +/- 0.13% (equivalent to ThU.S.$613) and a change on the equity of +/- 0.01% (equivalent to ThU.S.$613).

Market Risk – Interest rate risk

Description

Interest rate risk refers to the sensitivity of the value of financial assets and liabilities in terms of interest rate fluctuations.

Explanation of Interest Rate Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco is exposed to risks due to interest rate fluctuations for bonds issued, bank borrowings and financial instruments that bear interest at a variable rate.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

Arauco completes its risk analysis by reviewing its exposure to changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2013, 18.9% of the Company’s bonds and bank loans bear interest at variable rates. A change of +/- 10% interest, rate is considered a possible range of fluctuation. Such market conditions would affect the income after tax at rate of +/- 0.01% (equivalent to ThU.S.$+/- 36) and +/- 0.00% (equivalent to ThU.S.$+/- 19) on equity.

Market Risk – Price of Pulp Risks

Description

Pulp prices are determined by world and regional market conditions. Prices fluctuate based on demand, production capacity, commercial strategies adopted by large-scale forestry companies, pulp and paper producers and by the availability of substitutes.

Explanation of Price Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Pulp prices are reflected in revenue from sales and directly affect the net income for the period.

As of September 30, 2013, revenue due to pulp sales accounted for 34.6% of total sales. Pulp prices are fixed on a monthly basis in accordance with the market. Forward contracts or other financial instruments are not used for pulp sales.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

This risk is approached in different ways. Arauco has a team of specialists who perform periodic market and competition analyses, providing tools to analyze and evaluate trends and adjust forecasts. Similarly, Arauco performs price financial sensitivity analysis in order to take the necessary safeguards to confront different scenarios in the best possible manner.

Sensitivity analysis considers a variation of +/- 10% in the average pulp price, a possible fluctuation range given current market conditions at the date of the closing balance. With all other variables constant, a variation of +/- 10% in the average pulp price would mean an EBITDA annual variation of +/- 4.3% (equivalent to ThU.S.$53 ), on the income after tax and +/- 7.9% (equivalent to ThU.S.$41) and +/- 0.4% (equivalent to U.S.$29 million) on equity.

Pulp

The Pulp operating segment uses wood exclusively from pine and eucalyptus plantations for the production of different classes of wood cellulose or pulp. Bleached pulp is mainly used as raw material for producing printing and writing paper, as well as toilet paper and high quality wrapping paper. Unbleached pulp is used to produce packing paper, filters, fiber cement products, dielectric paper and others. On the other hand, fluff pulp is mainly used in the production of diapers and female hygiene products.

Arauco has six plants, five in Chile and one in Argentina, and they have a total production capacity of approximately 3.2 million tons per year. Pulp is sold in more than 39 countries, mainly in Asia and Europe.

NOTE 26. DISTRIBUTABLE NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Distributable net income

As a general policy, the Board of Directors of Arauco agreed that the net income to be distributed as dividend is determined based on realized net gains/(losses) of any relevant variations in the value of unrealized assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the calculation of net income during the period such changes are made.

As a result of the foregoing, for purposes of determining the distributable net income of the Company, which is the same considered for calculating the minimum dividend required and additional dividend, the following unrealized gains/losses are excluded from the net income for the year:

 

1) Unrealized gains/losses relating to the fair value recorded for forestry assets under IAS 41, adding them back to net income when they are realized through sale or disposed of by other means.

 

2) Those generated through the acquisition of entities. These results will be added back to net income when they are realized through sale.

 

3) The deferred taxes associated with the amounts described in 1) and 2) above are also excluded.

The Company expects to maintain its policy of distributing 40% of its net distributable income as dividends for all future fiscal years, but will also consider the alternative of distributing a provisional dividend at year end.

The line “Other current non-financial liabilities” included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2013 in the amount of ThU.S.$184,322, represents a total of ThU.S.$126,775, which corresponds to the provision of minimum dividend recorded for the period 2013 of the parent company.

Basic and diluted earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Arauco does not have any shares with potential dilutive effect.

NOTE 27. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

1) In the Celulosa Arauco’s Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting held on October 24, 2013, the Company approved the merger of Forestal Viñales S.A. into the Company, the latter absorbing the former, acquiring the entirety of its assets and liabilities and acting as its legal successor in all rights and obligations. The merger will come into effect on November 1, 2013.

113,127,700 shares were present at the Company’s abovementioned Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting (i.e., approximately 99.98% of the Company’s outstanding shares), all of which voted in favor of the approval of the resolutions submitted before the assembly.

The approval of these merger resolutions grants dissenting shareholders the right to withdraw from the Company as per the terms of the circular letter that will be sent to the dissenting shareholder on October 25, 2013.

We believe that the information contained in this letter should not have an impact on the Company’s profits and losses.

2) The authorization for the issuance and publication of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the period from January 1 to September 30, 2013 was approved by the Board of Directors of Arauco (the “Board”) at the Extraordinary Session No. 498 held on November 21, 2013.

Subsequent to September 30, 2013 and until the date of issuance of these financial statements, there have been no events that could materially affect the presentation of these financial statements.
