Total net equity and liabilities

     14,126,124         14,747,897   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

As of June 30, 2015, total assets decreased MU.S.$622 compared to December 31, 2014, equivalent to 4.22% of variation. This deviation is mainly attributable to a decrease in the balance of cash and cash equivalents, properties, plant and equipment and biological assets.

Moreover, current liabilities decreased MU.S.$96 mainly attributable to a decrease in financial liabilities.

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

 

Liquidity ratios

  06-30-2015      12-31-2014  

Current Liquidity (current assets / current liabilities)

    1.85         2.03   

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

    1.05         1.25   

 

Debt indicators

  06-30-2015      12-31-2014  

Debt to equity ratio (total liabilities / equity)

    1.09         1.16   

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

    0.20         0.19   

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

    0.80         0.81   
    06-30-2015      06-30-2014  

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

    3.05         3.88

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

     91.39         88.38   

As of June 30, 2015 the short-term debt represented 20% of total liabilities (20% as of December 31, 2014).

The ratio of financial expenses covered represents a decrease of 3.88 to 3.05. This decrease is mainly attributable to a higher proportional result before tax for the 2014 period, compared to the same period of 2015.

b) Statements of income

Profit before Income Tax

Profit before Income Tax registered a profit of MU.S.$269 compared to a profit of MU.S.$317 in the same period of the previous year, equivalent to a negative variation of MU.S.$48. 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 obtained from 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 corresponds to borrowings from 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

During the second quarter of 2015, paper production and pulp demand diminished due to season effects in the northern hemisphere. Signs of pulp oversupply were evidenced during the second half of the quarter, although prices in long fiber and short fiber started to show an upward trend in all markets. Short fiber prices rose despite the opening of a new mill in Brazil during May 2015. The initial operation of new mills usually has an effect in markets, even though mills take months to be fully operational.

In Asia, short and long fiber prices increased by U.S.$40 and U.S.$50 per ton, respectively, which translates into a 6% and 8% price increase respectively during the second quarter of 2015. The price gap between these two fibers was reduced to U.S.$10 per ton, and can be associated with the substitution of short fiber for long fiber. Nevertheless, such substitution has a limited effect and usually occurs if the price trend is stable for some months. Chinese paper mills are fairly flexible and are therefore likely to adopt this change. The Chinese market kept growing and pulp imports overall increased by 10.5% up to June 2015 compared to 2014 (9.4% in bleached long fiber and 12.6% in bleached short fiber). The paper market in China is still experiencing a supply surplus, with large inventories and small margins. However, this situation has improved in comparison to the previous quarter.

In the European markets, due to the weakening of the euro, prices remained stable or had minor increases throughout the second quarter of 2015. In the long fiber market, where there is competition with Eurozone producers, prices have remained stable or have experienced decreases ranging from 0.7% to 1.0%. In contrast, the short fiber market, where imports play a bigger role and therefore follow the U.S. dollar trend, prices rose U.S.$ 20 to U.S.$ 30 (4%-5%). Despite the closing of production mills and consequently less production, paper companies in Europe are still under pressure and have not improved their margins. In general, paper producers have their mills working at a capacity of 90%. Although this operational rate is fairly high, producers have still not been able to transfer their higher costs to consumers. Higher costs are mainly due to the euro depreciation that directly affects imports, shutdown of mills, and a reduction of the European market in general.

The Middle East market has shown a promising level of activity and pulp demand has increased because of new paper mills, especially in tissue paper. Specifically, Turkey has increased tissue paper production considerably and has turned into one of the important producers in the region, exporting to North Africa and Middle East countries in general.

Our production remained stable throughout the second quarter of 2015. There was a programmed maintenance in the Constitución Mill during April and the Valdivia Mill changed its production from long fiber to short fiber to meet market demands. It is important to note that the latter is designed to be able to produce both types of fibers interchangeably.

Sawn Timber Division

The sawn timber market showed a slight improvement in total sales compared to the first quarter of 2015, although they were inferior when compared to the same period in 2014. This difference is mainly due to the general decrease of price levels within the first six months of this year. This trend is a consequence of a supply surplus from countries with weakening currencies, which makes to export a much more attractive scenario.

Our sales have strengthened in Asia in terms of volume throughout the second quarter, although the Middle East market had less activity due to competition, principally from Europe. Both markets have experienced a decrease in exported volumes compared to the first half of the year of 2014.

The North American market maintains its dynamism in new constructions and renovations, which translates into a stable market demand for our moldings.

In Chile and the rest of Latin America, demand remained stable, which has enabled a higher market share this year and a desired level of product mix.

Panels Division

The tendency observed during the first quarter of the year is maintained, showing a growth in sales compared to the first half of 2014.

It is worth stressing that there has been an increase in the manufacturing of plywood increased as a result of the operations of our new mill in Nueva Aldea. There have also been favorable levels of sales in particle board manufactured in the Teno Mill, both in volume and product mix. Demand for particle board has remained stable during the first six months of this year, and our efforts to sell products with added value, such as melamine boards, has continued with promising results.

With respect to MDF, there is more competition throughout all the markets due to a generalized boost in supply. The depreciation of the Brazilian real and the supply surplus have increased export volumes. The capacity to export MDF from Argentina is still diminished, forcing to sell primarily in the domestic market and to operate at lower production rates.

Positive Net cash flow (negative)

     (459,042      (29,364
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The financing cash flow had a negative balance of MU.S.$607 as of June 30, 2015 compared to a negative balance of U.S.$93 in the same period of 2014, mainly due to increased financial liabilities.

In relation to the flow of investment at the end of the current period, there was a lower negative balance of MU.S.$301 (compared to MU.S.$351 in the same period of 2014), mainly due to lower disbursements for the acquisition of properties, plant and equipment in 2015.

6. MARKET RISK ANALYSIS

In respect of the economic risks resulting from interest rate variations, the Company maintains, as of June 30, 2015, a ratio of fixed rate debt to total consolidated debt of approximately 85,5%, which it believes is consistent with industry standards. The Company does not participate in futures trading as to maintain one of the lowest cost structures in the industry, the risks for price fluctuations are bounded.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2015, a detailed analysis of the risks associated with the business of Arauco is available (See Note 23).

Arauco and most of its subsidiaries has determined the United States (“U.S.”) Dollar as its functional currency since majority of its revenues from sales of its products are from exports denominated in U.S. Dollars, while its costs of sales are to a large extent related or indexed to the U.S. Dollar.

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.

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

For the sawn timber, 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.

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 (ThU.S.$).

In these interim consolidated financial statements all relevant information required by IFRS has been presented.

Summary of significant accounting policies

a) Basis for preparation of interim consolidated financial statements

The interim Financial Statements of Arauco for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, and for the year ended December 31, 2014, present in all material respects its financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows in accordance with the standards of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance ( SVS ) that consider the IFRS, except as instructed in the Official Circular Letter No 856 of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance which provides in an exceptional form of accounting of changes in assets and liabilities for deferred tax caused by Law No. 20,780, published in the Official Journal on September 29, 2014 (See Note 6).

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for biological assets and certain financial instruments which are measured at revalued amounts or fair value at the end of each period as explained in the following significant accounting policies. Generally, historical cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

b) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements, in accordance with IFRS, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts reported. These 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 an asset acquisition, management values the acquired property, plant and equipment and their useful lives in consultation with third party experts.

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 internal 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, based 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.

-Goodwill

The assessment of the added value represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the reasonable value of the Group’s holding in the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary on the date of acquisition. Said reasonable value is determined whether based on assessments and/or the discounted future flow method using hypotheses in their determination, such as sales prices and industry indexes, among others.

-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 proceedings. Future effects on Arauco’s financial condition resulting from such litigation are estimated by management, in collaboration with its legal advisors. Arauco applies judgment when interpreting the reports of its legal advisors who provide updated estimates of the legal contingencies at each reporting period and/or at each time a modification is determined to be necessary. 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 direct the relevant financial and operating activities. Subsidiaries (including special purpose entities) are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and up to the date that control ceases.

Specifically, a company controls an investee if, and only if, they have all of the following:

(a) power over the investee, i.e. the investor has existing rights which give it the ability to direct the relevant activities (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.

When the Company holds less than the majority of voting rights in a company in which it participates, it nonetheless has the authority over said company - when these voting rights are enough - to grant it in practice the ability to unilaterally direct said company’s relevant activities. The Company takes into account all facts and circumstances in order to assess if the voting rights in a company in which it participates are enough for granting it the power, including:

a) the size of the investor’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

b) potential voting rights held by the investor, other vote holders or other parties;

c) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

d) any additional facts and circumstances that indicate the investor has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.

The Company will reevaluate whether or not it holds control of a company in which participates if the facts and circumstances indicate that changes have occurred in one or more of the three elements of control mentioned above.

Consolidation of an investee shall begin from the date the investor obtains control of the investee and cease when the investor loses control of the investee. An entity includes the income and expenses of an acquired or sold subsidiary in the interim consolidated financial statements from the date it gains control until the date when the entity ceases to control the subsidiary.

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

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

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

The consolidated financial statements at the end of this period include the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the subsidiaries shown in Note 13.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries have Brazilian Real 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).

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

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.

Based on the aforementioned process, the Company has 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 interim consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of Arauco’s operations in functional currency different from Arauco´s 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 rate differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in “Other reserves” within–equity.

(iii) Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Profit or loss on transactions in currencies other than the functional currency resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognized in the statement of income, except those which are recorded in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity such as cash flows hedging derivatives.

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 three months or less and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

g) Financial Instruments

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to-maturity’ investments and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

 

(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, or those designated as FVTPL. 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 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.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

 

    it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

    on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

 

    it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

 

    such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

 

    the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

 

    it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

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, using internal methodology based on market information from our Bloomberg terminal.

Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate 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 at each reporting date. 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) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. They are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment.

(iii) 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 plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and are subsequently 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.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at FVTPL’ or ‘other financial liabilities’ and are initially recorded at fair value.

(i) Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:

 

    it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or

 

    on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

 

    it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

 

    such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

 

    the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

 

    it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are recorded at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the Finance income or Finance costs line item in the consolidated statements of income.

(ii) Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and amounts paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial obligations are classified as current liabilities, unless Arauco holds an unconditional right to defer their settlement during at least 12 months after the balance sheet’s date.

The estimate of the fair value of obligations with banks is determined using valuation techniques that include discounted cash flow analyses applying rates of similar loans. Bonds are appraised at market value.

h) Derivative financial instruments

(i) Financial Derivatives - The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. The group’s policy is that all derivative contracts are hedging contracts.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument under IAS 39, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

(ii) Embedded derivatives - The Company assesses the existence of embedded derivatives in financial instrument contracts. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at FVTPL as a whole. Arauco has determined that no embedded derivatives currently exist.

(iii) Hedge accounting - The Company designates certain hedging instruments as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, Arauco documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

-Fair Value Hedges under IAS 39- Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognized in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair value of the hedging instrument

and the change in the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss in the line item relating to the hedged item.

-Cash flow hedges under IAS 39 - The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the Finance costs line item in the consolidated statement of income. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognized hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecasted transaction is ultimately recognized in profit or loss. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

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 works 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 written-down to their 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 certain property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments in associates and groups subject to expropriation (groups of assets to be

Table of Contents

sold together with their directly associated liabilities) as non-current assets held for sale which as of the closing date of the statement of financial position are the subject of active sale efforts and for which the completion is estimated to be highly probable.

These assets or groups subject to expropriation are valued at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less the costs to sell, 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 the identification of the acquirer, determination of the acquisition date, recognition and measurement of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; and recognition and measurement of 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, except:

-deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 respectively;

-liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquire or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquire are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 at the acquisition date; and

-assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with such standard.

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 statement of income.

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 or a group of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are allocated to those units or group 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 company.

Changes in the ownership interest of a parent in its subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are treated as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which non-controlling 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 company. No adjustment is made to the carrying amount of goodwill, neither gains or losses are 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 initially be measured either at fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’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 achieved in stage (“step acquisition”), recognizing the effects of remeasurement of previously held equity interest in the acquiree in the statements of income.

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 preliminary amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period (no more than one year), these preliminary 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.

Business combinations that are under common control transactions are accounted using as a reference the pooling of interest. Under this method, assets and liabilities related to the transaction carry over the previous carrying values. Any difference between assets and liabilities included in the consolidation and the consideration transferred, is accounted in equity.

l) Investments in associates and joint arrangements

Associates are entities over which Arauco exercises significant influence, but not control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

Joint arrangement 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 joint arrangements are classified as a joint venture or as a joint operation. A joint operation is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e., participants in a joint venture) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

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. Dividends received are recognized by deducting the amount received from the carrying amount of the investment. Arauco’s investment in associates includes goodwill (both net of any accumulated impairment loss).

The investments in joint operations recognize the assets, liabilities and results of operations in relation to Arauco’s ownership percentage.

Investments in associates and joint ventures 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 other than goodwill

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 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 and make them compatible with existing software. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software.

 

(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 future cash flows. 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.

 

(iii) Customers and trade relations with customers

Correspond to the valuation over the time of the established relationship with customers, from the sale of products and services through its sales team. These relations will materialize in sales orders, which generate revenue and cost of sales. The useful life has been determined to be 15 years.

n) Goodwill

Goodwill generated in the acquisition of an entity is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration paid, 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.

The goodwill generated on acquisitions of foreign companies, is expressed in the functional currency of such foreign company.

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 interim consolidated financial statements, the only change in the carrying amount of goodwill in Brazil is related to the net exchange rate differences on translation.

o) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. 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.

When the asset value exceeds its recoverable amount, it is immediately adjusted to its recoverable amount.

The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, annually.

p) Leases

Arauco applies IFRIC 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.

Arauco evaluates the economic foundation of the contracts that grant the right to use certain assets, for the purposes of determining the existence of implied leases. In these cases, the Company separates - at the beginning of the contract, and based on relative reasonable values - payments and considerations associated with the lease, from the rest of the elements incorporated to the contract.

q) Biological Assets

IAS 41 requires that biological assets, such as standing trees, are measured at fair value less cost to sell in the statement of financial position. Forestry plantations 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 forestry plantations 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 forestry plantations 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 forestry plantations that will be harvested in the short term.

Biological growth and changes in fair value of forestry plantations are recognized in the line item “Other income” in the consolidated statement of income.

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

r) Income tax expense and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

The tax liabilities are recognized in the interim consolidated 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.

Deferred taxes are registered according to rules established in IAS12 “Income Taxes”, except for the application in the Official Circular Letter No. 856 issued on October 17, 2014 by the SVS, which established that the differences in liabilities and assets for deferred taxes occurring as a direct effect of the increase in the first category tax introduced by Law No. 20,780, should be accounted for in the respective year against equity. (See Note 2).

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

The deferred tax assets and tax credits 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.

s) 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.

t) Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when Arauco has transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and Arauco has no right to dispose of the assets, nor effective control of such good.

(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 reliably estimated, revenue 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 services which are transacted principally in the spot market of the Sistema Interconectado Central (“Central Interconnected 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) (“Economic Load Dispatch Center of the Central Interconnected 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 and wood process and is a complementary business to it, which is initially supplied to the group’s subsidiaries and any surplus is sold to the CDEC-SIC.

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.

u) 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” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Dividends paid are not deductible for income tax purposes.

v) Earning per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income for the period attributable to the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of shares in the Company held by a subsidiary, if such circumstance exists.

Arauco has not performed any type of transaction with a potential dilutive effect that would cause diluted earnings per share to be different from basic earnings per share.

w) 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 to sell 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.

Except for goodwill, 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.

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 has 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 based on an analysis of the age of the portfolio and considering the insurance coverage on accounts receivable. Other conditions are assessed, for example, when there is objective evidence that Arauco will not receive payments under the original sale terms and when the customer is a party to a bankruptcy court agreement or cessation of payments, and is 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.

x) 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.

NOTE 2. CHANGES IN POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

1) Changes in Accounting Policies

The accounting policies have been developed in accordance with the effective IFRS as of June 30, 2015 and have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these interim consolidated financial statements.

The SVS under its authority, issued the Official Circular Letter No. 856 dated October 17, 2014 instructing auditees to register in the respective year against equity, differences in assets and liabilities for deferred taxes occurred as a direct effect of the increase in the first category tax introduced by Law No. 20,780.

This statement differs from that established by the IFRS, which requires that the effect be recorded against income.

This instruction issued by the SVS meant in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014, a change in the framework of preparation and presentation of financial information adopted by that date, since the previous frame (IFRS) requires to be adopted in a comprehensive, explicit and unreserved manner.

The effect of this change in accounting bases meant in year 2014 a charge to retained earnings amounting to ThU.S.$292,155, which according to IFRS should have been presented under results of the year ended December 31, 2014.

For all other matters related to the presentation of its consolidated financial statements, the Company uses the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the IASB.

2) Changes in the Estimates and processing of accounting policies

There have been no changes in the treatment of accounting policies for the same period last year.

NOTE 3. DISCLOSURE OF OTHER INFORMATION

c) Disclosure of Information on Reserves

Other Reserves

Other reserves consist of reserves of exchange differences on translation, reserves of cash flow hedges and other reserves. Arauco does not have any restrictions associated with these reserves.

Reserves of exchange differences on translation

Reserves of exchange differences on translation correspond to exchange differences relating to the translation of the results and net assets of Arauco’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than Arauco’s presentation currency.

Reserves of cash flow hedges

Reserves of cash flow hedges correspond to the portion of mark to market adjustments of outstanding cash flow hedges at the end of each reporting period.

Reserve of Actuarial Profits or Losses in Defined Benefit Plans

This corresponds to changes in the present value of the obligation for defined benefits resulting from experience adjustments (the effect of the differences between the previous actuarial assumptions and the events that occurred within the context of the plan) and the effects of the changes in the actuarial assumptions.

Other reserves

This mainly corresponds to the share of other comprehensive income of investments in associates and joint ventures.

Inventories recognized as cost of sales at June 30, 2015 were ThU.S.$1,773,733 (ThU.S.$1,722,611 at June 30, 2014).

In order to have the inventories recorded at net realizable value at June 30, 2015, there has been a net increase of inventories associated with a lower provision of obsolescence of ThU.S.$1,833 (higher provision of ThU.S.$133 at June 30, 2014). At of June 30, 2015, the amount of obsolescence provision is ThU.S.$9,835 (ThU.S.$11,668 at December 31, 2014).

At June 30, 2015 there were inventory write-offs of ThU.S.$2,484 (ThU.S.$279 at June 30, 2014)

The inventory obsolescence provision is calculated based on the sales conditions 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 5. 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 interim consolidated financial statements, there are no amounts of cash and cash equivalents with restrictions on use.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

The tax rates applicable in the countries in which Arauco operates are 22.5% in Chile, 35% in Argentina, 34% in Brazil, 25% in Uruguay and 34% in the United States (federal tax).

On September 29, 2014, Law No. 20,780 was published in the Official Gazette, amending the current system of income tax and other taxes. Among the main amendments is the progressive increase of the First Category Income Tax for the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and following fiscal years, increasing to 21%, 22.5%, 24%, 25.5% and 27% respectively, in the event that the partially integrated system applies. Alternatively, for the 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and following fiscal years, an increase to 21%, 22.5%, 24%, and 25% respectively will apply, in the event that the Company chooses to apply the attributed income system.

On October 17, 2014, the SVS issued the Official Circular Letter No. 856, which established that the difference in assets and liabilities for deferred taxes resulting from the increase of the aforementioned tax rate, should be accounted for by charging it against equity. Therefore, as of the close these interim consolidated financial statements, Arauco has recognized a charge to equity of ThU.S.$292,155 resulting from a deferred effect of the new tax rate as of December 31, 2014.

Deferred Tax Assets

Certain subsidiaries of Arauco, as of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, present tax losses for which we estimate that, given the projection of future profits, will allow the recovery of these assets. The total amount of these tax losses is ThU.S.$120,486 (ThU.S.$132,292 at December 31, 2014), which are mainly originated by operational and financial losses.

In addition, as of the closing of these interim consolidated financial statements there are ThU.S.$111,892 (ThU.S.$92,809 at December 31, 2014) of non-recoverable tax losses from Inversiones Arauco Internacional and companies in Uruguay based on the participation of Arauco, for which deferred tax assets have not been recognized. The payback period exceeds the term of such tax losses.

The effect of changes in current and deferred tax liabilities related to cash flow hedges corresponds to a charge of ThU.S.$2,092 as of June 30, 2015 (ThU.S.$2,064 as of June 30, 2014), which is presented in consolidated statements of comprehensive income and accumulated in Reserves for cash flow hedges in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

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.

NOTE 16. INTERESTS IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS

Investments and contributions made

As of June 30, 2015, Arauco, through its subsidiary Arauco Holanda Cooperatief U.A, made capital contributions for a total of ThU.S.$82,943 (ThU.S.$398,545 as of December 31, 2014) to two Uruguayan joint arrangements in order to maintain its 50% of ownership in Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A. This transaction had no effect on the consolidated statement of income.

The aforementioned contributions were invested in the construction of a state-of-the-art cellulose production plant, with a guaranteed annual capacity of 1.3 million tons, a port and an energy generation unit based on renewable resources, which is located in the town of Puerto Pereira, Province of Colonia, Uruguay.

Our investments in Uruguay qualify as a joint operation. Among Arauco’s other rights and contractual conditions Arauco has agreed, together with Stora Enso, in the “Wood Supply Agreement”, to purchase 100% of the total annual pulp production of the joint operation. Arauco has recognized assets, liabilities, income and expenses relating to their participation, effective January 1, 2013, in accordance with IFRS11.

Goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to the groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

At the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, the balance of Goodwill is ThU.S.$76,683 (ThU.S.$82,573, at December 31, 2014), of which ThU.S.$39,850 (ThU.S.$40,023 at December 31, 2014) was mainly generated by the acquisition of “Flakeboard” (See Note 14) and ThU.S.$34,018 (ThU.S.$39,735 at December 31, 2014) by the investment in Arauco do Brasil S.A. Both values were assigned to the panel segment.

The goodwill generated by the investment in Arauco do Brasil S.A. was allocated to the 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.

The change in the balance of goodwill is due solely to the exchange difference on foreign currency translation.

NOTE 18. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The contingent liabilities for outstanding litigations are as follows:

Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A.

1. 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, 2001 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.

On September 26, 2014, Arauco requested the submission of this claim to the competent jurisdiction of the new Tax and Customs Courts. On October 10, 2014, Arauco’s request was granted. Currently the action is being considered by these new Courts under the Docket No. RUC 14-9-0002087-3, with the Chilean IRS having the obligation to respond to Arauco’s duly instituted complaint. On March 20, 2015, the SII responded to the allegations submitted by Arauco against Liquidations No. 184 and 185 of 2005. As the date of these financial statements, this case is pending.

2. On June 22, 2011, the Company 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. The case arose out of dead fish allegedly found in the Mataquito River on June 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, pain and suffering and an alleged contractual liability. The probationary period was finished, and only letters addressed to several authorities need to be answered. Both parties have requested in different opportunities the issuing of the judgment, but the Court has not decided thereupon. As the date of these financial statements, this case is pending, awaiting for the issuance of the final judgment.

3. On December 20, 2012, the Company was notified of a 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 river streams, risks related with truck transit and forest fire risks.

Currently the case is in the preliminary stage of evidence gathering, having already exhausted the discussion period. On August 7, 2015, the defendant filed a submission requesting the proceedings to be declared abandoned. The Court granted a term to respond on August 10, 2015. This case is pending.

Arauco Argentina S.A. (Ex -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 our Argentine affiliate Arauco Argentina S.A. challenging its deduction from its income tax liability of certain expenses, interest payments and exchange rate differences generated by Private Negotiable Obligations which were issued by such company in 2001 and paid in 2007.

On November 20, 2007, Arauco Argentina S.A. 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 Arauco Argentina S.A. 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 Argentine Pesos $417,908,207 including capital (ThU.S.$46,008 at June 30, 2015), compensatory interest, and fines for omission. On February 11, 2008, Arauco Argentina S.A. appealed the aforementioned ruling before the National Tax Court (“Tribunal Fiscal de la Nación”) (TFN).

On February 8, 2010, Arauco Argentina S.A. 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, Arauco Argentina S.A. appealed before the CACAF, making all necessary submissions with the purpose of attaining a revocation of the contested decision. Arauco Argentina S.A. paid litigation fees (tasa de justicia) in the amount of Argentine Pesos $5,886,053 (ThU.S.$648 at June 30, 2015).

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 Arauco Argentina S.A. 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 Arauco Argentina S.A., 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, Arauco Argentina S.A. filed with the Appeal Court a surety policy issued by Zurich Argentina Cía. de Seguros S.A. On May 20, 2010, the CACAF asked Arauco Argentina S.A. to specify the areas covered by the surety insurance. On May 28, 2010 Arauco Argentina S.A. 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 Argentine Pesos $633,616,741 (equivalent to ThU.S.$6,755 as of June 30, 2015), 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 Arauco Argentina S.A. 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 1, 2013, Arauco Argentina S.A. received notice of the decision dated December 28, 2012, whereby the First 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 National Supreme Court of Justice 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 National Supreme Court of Justice. On May 6, 2013, Arauco Argentina S.A. was notified of the decision of the Court of Appeals that, as of April 23, 2013, granted the ordinary appeal to the National Supreme Court of Justice 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, Arauco Argentina S.A. 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, Arauco Argentina S.A. submitted a duly founded presentation in connection with the Appeal, which the Court subsequently ordered to be transferred to AFIP, a circumstance of which the company 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 Arauco Argentina S.A. to pay Argentine Pesos $10,447,705 (ThU.S.$1,150 at June 30, 2015) as payment of Tasa de Actuación (Litigation Fee) before the TFN. On August 14, 2008, Arauco Argentina S.A filed a petition with the court requesting that this order be reconsidered, or alternatively, rejected on the grounds that the requested amount was unreasonable. Arauco Argentina S.A provided evidence that it had paid Argentine Pesos $1,634,914 (ThU.S.$180 at June 30, 2015), considering that this was the actual amount due, pursuant to Law, for the Tasa de Actuación (Litigation Fee). On April 13, 2010, the First Chamber of the CACAF denied Arauco Argentina S.A.’s appeal. On April 26, 2010, Arauco Argentina S.A. filed an ordinary appeal against the latter decree before the National Supreme Court of 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, 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 First Chamber of the National Appeals Court of Contentious Administrative Matters. On June 15, 2012, Arauco Argentina S.A. 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, Arauco Argentina S.A. 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, Arauco Argentina S.A. filed a presentation which expressed its interest to maintain the extraordinary appeal. On February 19, 2013, Arauco Argentina S.A. requested the Extraordinary Remedy to be dealt with, and that copy of the judgment

passed in the main suit be attached thereto. On the same date Arauco Argentina S.A. lodged a Federal Extraordinary remedy on grounds that the judgment relating to the procedural tax discussed in this ancillary suit ought to be analyzed in consistency with that of the main suit. On April 8, 2013, the Chamber conferred upon AFIP a period to respond to Arauco Argentina S.A.’s Extraordinary Remedy. On November 26, 2013, Arauco Argentina S.A. was served with a ruling dated October 8, 2013 whereby the 1st Chamber of the Appeals Department decided to deny Arauco Argentina S.A.’s May 6, 2010 Extraordinary Remedy, imposing upon Arauco Argentina S.A. the obligation to bear the court costs and fees. On November 18, 2014, the 1st Chamber of the Appeals Department decided to dismiss Arauco Argentina S.A.’s second extraordinary remedy.

2. By way of Resolutions Nos. 952/2000 and 83/03, and within the context of the provisions of Law No. 25,080, the former Secretary for Agriculture, Ranching, Fishing and Foods approved the projects submitted by Arauco Argentina S.A. to build an MDF plant (boards) and a sawmill, along with the forestation of several hectares for supplying said industries.

In March of 2005, by way of Note No. 145/05, issued by the Undersecretary for Agriculture, Ranching and Forestation, the exemption to pay exportation duties granted to Arauco Argentina S.A. was suspended, as were the exemptions granted to all other companies benefited by this system under Law No. 25,080, a suspension which was implemented as a preventive measure, invoking the need to review the proceedings conducted in the respective case files. After the exhaustion of the administrative procedures, the measure is being argued by the company before the courts. In said context, on November 8, 2006, the V Chamber of the National Appeals Court for Adversarial Administrative and Federal Matters issued a ruling ordering that Arauco Argentina S.A. to continue to enjoy an exemption from paying the exportation duties, provided that it guarantee said duties by taking out warranty insurance. The judicial measure became effective beginning on March of 2007 by collateralization through the granting of bond (caución) policies for each shipment permits exempted from payment of export duty. Notwithstanding this ruling, the issuance of the ruling on the substantial issues of the matter is still pending. The company maintains an assignment of funds equivalent to ThU.S.$20,762 in connection to the aforementioned export duties, which is shown under not current provisions.

The export duties paid by the company while the benefit was suspended were allocated to the results of each financial year. As of this date, the company has submitted a claim against the National Government demanding the return of ThU.S.$6,555, plus interest accrued as from the serving of process of said claim, amount which corresponds to the Export Duties paid between March of 2005 and March of 2007 as a result of the benefit’s suspension.

In turn, during April of year 2005, the Secretary for Agriculture, Ranching, Fishing and Foods issued Resolution No. 260/2005, requiring that holders of any firms that had received the fiscal benefits granted under Law No. 25,080 should establish guarantees to cover the total amount of any such benefits, considering for such purposes all benefits that had been enjoyed until the date of their establishment. Arauco Argentina S.A. then proceeded to establish the required guarantees, which - as of the date of these financial statements - amount to Argentine Pesos $136,406,620 (equivalent to ThU.S.$15,017 at June 30, 2015).

Arauco Argentina S.A. believes that it has complied with all of the obligations imposed upon it by the system set forth under Law No. 25,080.

3. On December 6, 2013, Arauco Argentina S.A. was served upon Resolution 803 issued by

the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina (BCRA) on November 22, 2013. By means of such resolution, the BCRA initiated Investigation No. 5581, whereby it is sought to determine the absence of currency inflow and liquidation, and the delayed inflow of currency arising from export operations.

On March 6, 2014, the BCRA notified Arauco Argentina S.A. that it had received the APSA’s response and was opening the case for the presentation of evidence. On June 18, 2014 the BCRA notified the company of the closure of the trial period. On June 26, 2014 APSA presented its answer. On October 6, 2014, the company received the ruling dated September 30, 2014, issued by the National Criminal and Economic Court No. 8, Secretary No. 16, through which it was notified that the court would analyze the case under Case File No. 1330/2014.

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, in the opinion of the company´s legal advisors, the likelihood in obtaining a favorable outcome (that is to say, no fines imposed) is high, given the solid defense arguments raised by Arauco Argentina S.A. and the judicial background related to infractions of a similar nature.

Arauco do Brasil S.A.

On November 8, 2012, the Brazilian tax authorities issued an Infringement Notice against one of our Brazilian subsidiaries, Arauco do Brasil S.A., for allegedly unpaid taxed owed by said company during the period from 2006 to 2010. Specifically, the tax authorities (i) objected to the deductibility of certain payments made, and expenses incurred (including the amortization of premiums, interest and litigation costs) by Arauco do Brasil between 2005 and 2010, and, (ii) argued that Arauco do Brasil made certain insufficient payments regarding the Brazilian Corporate Tax (“IRPJ”) and the Corporate Contribution over Net Profits (“CSLL”) during 2010.

On July 20, 2015, Arauco do Brasil was notified of the first-level administrative ruling which partially upheld the Infringement. Against this ruling, a Voluntary Appeal was filed seeking to revoke the Infringement Notice before the Brazilian Administrative Tax Council (Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais de Brasil or “CARF”), which is the second administrative level. As of the date of this report, the trial pertaining to this objection is still pending. The company believes that its challenge against the Infringement Notice is based on sound legal grounds and that a reasonable possibility exists that this matter will be resolved in favor of the company. However, if a favorable ruling is not obtained, it is possible that an obligation is generated in the aforementioned sums, plus interest and fines, up to the date on which the respective payment is made.

Forestal Arauco S.A. (ex Forestal Celco S.A.)

1. On September 26, 2005, in proceedings numbered 48,679-2006 of the Civil Court of Constitución, Forestal Celco S.A., now Forestal Arauco S.A., submitted a claim against Forestal Constitución Ltda. and Ms Vitelia Morán Sepúlveda and other seven natural persons, with the goal of obtaining a ruling that acknowledges its sole ownership over the Lierecillo estate (1,126 hectares), formed by various property registrations, also seeking that the defendants be sentenced to jointly and severally pay $20,000,000 as well as a damage compensation for having harvested a portion of the aforementioned estate. On April 23, 2006, Mr. Adolfo Numi Velasco, acting on behalf of all the aforementioned natural persons, answered the claim requesting its rejection, arguing that his clients are the sole owners of the estate named “Lierencillo” which they call “El Macaco”, also submitting a

counterclaim with the purpose of demanding that Forestal Celco S.A. return such estate, of 162.7 hectares, plus a damage compensation for the resulting damages, lost profit and moral damage. On June 29, 2009, a first instance ruling was issued in favor of Forestal Celco S.A’s claim, only with regards to the declaration of ownership, rejecting all other aspects of that claim as well as the corresponding counterclaim.

On March 17, 2014, the Court of Appeals of Talca, revoked the first instance sentence upholding the counterclaim for vindication, declaring that the counterclaimants are the sole owners of the Macaco real property, of 61.32 hectares. On April 3, 2014, Forestal Celco S.A. challenged the decision by submitting cassation appeals, both based on formalities and the merits. On August 4, 2015, the Supreme Court rejected both cassation appeals. The counterclaimant submitted a clarification appeal so that the decision would sentence the counterclaim defendant to pay litigation costs. As of the date of these financial statements, this case is pending (Supreme Court Case File No. 10840-2014).

2. On October 26, 2012, Forestal Valdivia S.A., now Forestal Arauco S.A., was notified of a restitution suit filed by Mr. Nelson Vera Moraga, Attorney representing the estate of Mrs. Julia Figueroa Oliveiro, which occurred over 60 years ago. That application was lodged with the Civil Court of Loncoche, Docket Number 79-2012, and the lawsuit demanded the recovery and restitution of two estates, with their products and improvements, arguing that the aforementioned estate is the sole and exclusive owner of two real estate properties whose total surface amounts to 1,210 hectares and are allegedly occupied by Forestal Valdivia S.A. On March 13, 2014, the Court issued a first instance ruling rejecting the claim. On March 31, 2014, the plaintiff appealed the first instance ruling through the submittal of a cassation appeal with regards to procedural aspects to the Court of Appeals of Temuco.

On August 10, 2015, the Court of Appeals of Temuco issued a decision confirming the first instance decision with litigation costs. Pending (Case File No. 595-2014)

3. On October 8, 2013, Bosques Arauco S.A., now Forestal Arauco S.A. was notified of a civil claim filed by Mr. Manuel Antonio Fren Casanova, requesting the court to declare the properties known as Cuyinco and Cuyinco Alto as two different properties and, therefore, to order the cancellation of the ownership registration in the name of Bosques Arauco S.A. found on N° 290 of page 266 of the Registry of Property kept by the Real Estate Registrar of Cuyinco Alto, on the grounds that, Bosques Arauco S.A. erroneously understood that its property, Cuyinco Alto of 4,600 hectares, would also encompass the land known as Cuyinco, which allegedly belongs to the claimant.

The claim was filed before the Civil Court of Lebu (Case File No. C-269-2013). On November 21, 2013, the claim was answered. The case is currently awaiting the issuance of the first instance decision.

4. On January 14, 2015, the company was served process of a civil damages claim due to alleged non-contractual liability. The claim was lodged by Mr. Ricardo del Carmen Guzmán Reyes who alleged that the actions of Forestal Celco S.A. prevented the former from exploiting his mining properties, given that he could not access land belonging to Forestal Arauco S.A. because it had been planted with forests. Claim seeking direct damages, lost profits and non-monetary damages. Discussion phase concluded. On June 25, 2015, a settlement hearing was held with no succes. The case is awaiting the evidentiary ruling. As the date of these financial statements, this case is pending. Case processed at the Civil Court of Constitución, case file No. C-892-2014.

5. Maquinarias y Equipos Klenner Limitada filed a civil damages claim before the First Civil Court of Valdivia, Case File number C-375-2015, against Forestal Arauco S.A. The claim seeks compensation for alleged damages brought as a result of the termination of a service provision contract that took place on February 9, 2010

On February 6, 2015, the claim was served on Mr. Cristián Durán Silva, on behalf of Forestal Arauco S.A. On February 12, 2015, the company appeared submitting a motion to void the service of process, since Mr. Cristian Durán Silva was not the legal representative of Forestal Arauco S.A., and because the requirements of article 44 of the Code of Civil Procedure had not been fulfilled in this service of process.

The Court granted the plaintiff the legal term to submit its arguments in this regard, issuing a resolution dated February 17 of 2015. Moreover, the company required that proceedings be suspended while this matter was pending decision. The Court gave the floor to the plaintiff with regard to this request. In view of the foregoing, on February 24, 2015, the company raised dilatory defenses. Currently the motion to void has been rejected and the decision regarding the legal defenses based on procedural defects is currently pending.

6. On April 28, 2015, the company was notified and answered the action for recovery submitted in ordinary proceedings by Mr. Rodrigo Huanquimilla Arcos and Mr. Mario Andrades Rojas, attorneys at law, on behalf of 24 members of the Arcos succession, who claiming to be owners of the estate that they identify as Hacienda Quivolgo, of 5,202 hectares, request that Forestal Celco S.A., currently Forestal Arauco S.A., be sentenced to return the abovementioned real property plus civil and natural fruits or revenues as well as any estates adhered to it, along with any damages that the real property may have suffered, with litigation costs.

The discussion phase is currently about to be concluded, after which the settlement hearing shall be conducted, once the parties have been duly notified in this regard. Proceedings under case file C-334-2014 of the Civil Court of Constitución.

On April 6, 2015, the company was notified through a rogatory letter regarding the claim submitted by Mr. Gustavo Andrés Ochagavía Urrutia, attorney at law, acting on behalf of 23 members of the Arcos succession, who claim to be the owners of the estate that they identify as Hacienda Quivolgo, of 5,202 hectares, requesting that Forestal Celco S.A., currently Forestal Arauco S.A., be sentenced to return the abovementioned real property plus civil and natural fruits or revenues as well as any estates adhered to it, along with any damages that the real property may have suffered, with litigation costs. They base their claim in that Forestal Celco S.A., currently Forestal Arauco S.A., is allegedly in possession but does not own the real property in question. On April 28, 2014, the company proceeded to answer the claim requesting that it be completely rejected, arguing that Forestal Celco S.A., currently Forestal Arauco S.A., is the sole and legitimate owner of the real property. The discussion phase has concluded, having conducted the settlement hearing, although to no avail. Case file C-54-2015 of the Civil Court of Constitución.

International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) by Andritz Pulp Technologies Punta Pereira S.A., a subsidiary of Andritz AG.

These arbitration proceedings are related to the contracts for the delivery, construction, installation, commissioning and completion - by Andritz - of the main components of the Project for the Montes del Plata Cellulose Plant, located in Punta Pereira, Uruguay.

CEPP objected to the claim and, on its own behalf, submitted a counterclaim against Andritz based on the latter’s breach of its contractual obligations.

Both parties signed an agreement on April 28, 2015. The agreement established the manner in which the parties’ pending obligations shall be complied with, along with an additional payment to Andritz for an amount of approximately MU.S.$44, which has been paid.

As a result of the implementation of this agreement, all remaining issues between the parties in connection to the arbitration proceedings have been resolved and, as of this date, the arbitration has concluded.

At the end of each reporting period there are no other contingencies that might significantly affect the Company’s financial, position or results of operations.

Provisions recorded as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follow:

NOTE 20. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

Biological assets comprise forestry plantations, mainly radiata and taeda pine, and to a lower extent of eucalyptus. The plantations are located in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, with a total surface of 1.6 million hectares, out of which 982 thousand hectares are used for forestry planting, 395 thousand hectares are native forest, 185 thousand hectares are used for other purposes and 70 thousand hectares not yet planted.

As of June 30, 2015, the production volume of logs totaled 10.7 million cubic meters (10.8 million cubic meters as of June 30, 2014).

Measurements of fair value of Arauco’s biological assets are classified as Level 3, due to the fact that inputs are not observable. However, this information reflects the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk.

These unobservable inputs were developed using the best information available and includes own information of Arauco. These unobservable inputs can be adjusted if the available information indicates that other market participants would use different information or there is something specific in Arauco that is not available to other market participants.

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 forestry plantations are projected based on a net decrease total volume, with a minimum growth equivalent to the current supply demand.

 

    Future plantations are not considered.

 

    The harvest of forestry plantations supplies raw materials for all other products that Arauco produces and sells. By directly controlling the development of forests that will be processed, Arauco ensures 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 own 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. The changes in the value of the plantations pursuant to the criteria defined above are accounted for in the results for the fiscal year, as established in IAS 41. These changes are presented in the Income Statement under the line for Other income per function, which as of June 30 of 2015 amount to ThU.S.$94,062 (ThU.S.$133,644 as of June 30 of 2014). The appraisal of biological assets results in a greater cost of the lumber sold in comparison to the real incurred cost, which is presented in the sales Costs which as of June 30, 2015 amounted to ThU.S.$90,087 (ThU.S.$102,571 as of June 30 of 2014).

 

    Forestry plantations are harvested according to the needs of Arauco’s production plants.

 

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

    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:

Margins (%)

     10         421,056   
     -10         (421,056

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

Forestry plantations 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 forestry plantations, 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 operation in association with Stora Enso in accordance with IFRS11, Arauco recognizes the assets, liabilities; income and expenses relating to their ownership percentage (See Note 16).

Detail of Biological Assets Pledged as Security

As of June 30, 2015, there are no forestry plantations pledged as security.

Detail of Biological Assets with Restricted Ownership

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, there are no biological assets with restricted ownership.

No significant government grants have been received.

As of the date of these Financial Statements, the Current and Non-current biological assets are as follows:

NOTE 21. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Environment Management

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.

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 using market variables that are observable at the date of the consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of bonds issued was determined with reference to quoted market prices as they have standard terms and conditions.

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.

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 in profit or loss. These financial assets are held with the objective of maintaining adequate liquidity levels to meet Arauco’s obligations.

The following table details Arauco’s financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss:

Mutual Funds

Arauco invests in local and international mutual funds in order to maximize the returns of cash surpluses denominated in local currency or in foreign currencies such as U.S. Dollars or Euros. These instruments are permitted by Arauco’s Investment Policy. At the date of these interim consolidated financial statements the Company has increased its position in these instruments compared to December 2014 by 70%.

The following table sets forth the risk classification of mutual funds as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Hedging Instruments

Hedging instruments recorded as af June 30, 2015 are cash flow hedges. Arauco uses derivatives for hedging purposes, such as cross currency swaps, currency forwards, interest rate swaps, and options. Depending on the fair value of each instrument, the position could be either an asset or a liability, and they are listed in the Statement of Financial Position under Other Non-current Financial Assets or Other Non-current Financial Liabilities, respectively. The effects for the period are presented under Equity as Other Comprehensive Income, net of differences in exchange rate of the hedged items and the deferred tax.

Nature of Risk

Arauco is exposed to the risk of variability in cash flows from changes in foreign exchange rates and inflation, mainly due to balances of assets denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies differente from the functional currency, which causes mismatches that could affect operating results.

Below are the cross currency swaps that Arauco has as of June 30, 2015 to cover the exposure to the exchange rate risk generated from bonds denominated in UF.

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.

Moreover, our results are exposed to changes the price of certain fuels. To minimize the risk we limited the volatility of future cash flows associated with the purchase of fuel oil No. 6 for year 2015 through zero cost collar contracts of this commodity. The fuel oil No. 6 is consumed in the process of pulp production.

Furthermore, we have indirect exposure to the price of diesel due to contracts with forestry industry contractors, whose rates vary according to the price of this commodity, as well as other variables. To minimize this risk, we use financial instruments to cover the risk associated with the volatility of the cost of forestry contractor rates, from June 2015 until May 2016. Contracts held by Arauco as of June 30, 2015 are presented in the following table:

Hedging Strategy

Considering that Arauco has a high percentage of assets denominated in U.S. Dollars, it needs to minimize the risks related to exchange rates resulting from its adjustable obligations in Pesos. The purpose of this swap position is to eliminate the exchange rate uncertainty, taking the flows originated from adjustable obligations in pesos in connection to the aforementioned bonds and exchanging them for flows in U.S. Dollars (Arauco’s functional currency), pursuant to an exchange rate that is fixed and established on the date of execution of the contract.

Loans and Receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. In the consolidated statements of financial position they are included in line items “Cash and cash equivalents” (certain components of cash and cash equivalents), “Trade and Other Current/Non-Current Receivables” and “Accounts receivable from related parties”.

Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and are tested for impairment. Financial assets that are classified as loans and receivables are: cash and cash-equivalents, time deposits, repurchase agreements, trade and other current/non-current receivables, and account receivables from related parties.

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 based on an analysis of the age of the portfolio and considering the insurance coverage on accounts receivable. Other conditions are assessed for example when there is objective evidence that Arauco will not receive payments under the original sale terms and when the customer is a party to a bankruptcy court agreement or cessation of payments, and is written-off when Arauco has exhausted all levels of recovery of the receivable in a reasonable time.

Accounts receivable from related parties: Represent enforceable rights for Arauco resulting from the normal course of business, calling normal to the line of business, activity or purpose of explotation and financing, and which Arauco owns a non-controlling ownership of the counterparty.

Fair Value Hierarchy of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2015, 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 discount the future cash flows, the zero coupon discount rate for UF and U.S. is utilized. In each case, price quotes from Bloomberg are used.

Arauco’s financial risk management is overseen by the Corporate Finance Department. This department identifies, assesses and hedges financial risks in close collaboration with Arauco’s operational units.

Credit Risk

Description

Credit risk refers to financial uncertainty at different periods of time relating to the fulfillment of obligations with counterparties, at the time of exercising the contract rights to receive cash or other financial assets on behalf of Arauco.

Explanation of Credit Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco’s exposure to credit risk is directly related to each of its customer’s individual abilities to fulfill their contractual commitments, reflected in trade receivables. Furthermore, credit risk also arises for time deposits, repurchase agreements and mutual funds.

As a policy for its trade receivables, Arauco entered into insurance policies for open account sales. The insurance policies are used to cover export sales from Arauco, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., Aserraderos Arauco S.A., Paneles Arauco S.A., Forestal Arauco S.A., Arauco Argentina S.A. and Arauco do Brasil S.A. as well as domestic sales of Arauco Distribución S.A., Arauco México S.A. de C.V., Arauco Wood Inc., Arauco Colombia S.A., Arauco Perú S.A., Arauco Panels USA LLC, Flakeboard Co Ltd., Flakeboard America Ltd., Arauco Argentina S.A. (and subsidiaries), Celulosa Arauco S.A, Aserraderos Arauco S.A, Paneles Arauco S.A and Arauco do Brasil S.A. Arauco contracts its insurance policies with Continental Credit Insurance Company (rated AA- by credit agencies as Humphreys and Fitch Ratings on April 4, 2012). The insurance policies cover 90% of the amount invoiced with no deductible.

In order to secure a credit line or an advanced payment to a supplier approved by the Credit Committee, Arauco receives several types of guarantees, such as mortgages, pledges, standby letters of credit, certificates of deposit, checks, promissory notes, mutual loans or any other guarantee that may be requested pursuant to each country’s legislation.

As of June 30, 2015 the total amount of guarantees given was MU.S.$129,9 which is summarized in the following table. The procedure of guarantees is regulated by the Policies of Arauco’s Guarantees which aims to control the accounting, the maturity and the valuation of these.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying amount of the recognized trade receivables less the amounts receivable insured by credit insurance companies and the guarantees received by Arauco.

As of June 30, 2015, Arauco’s consolidated revenues from sales were ThU.S.$2,646,007 of which 65.13% correspond to credit sales, 25.52% to sales with letters of credit, and 9.35% to other classes of sales.

As of June 30, 2015, of the trade receivables balance of ThU.S.$693,892 that had agreed term of sales, 47.78% corresponded to credit sales, 41.87% to sales with letters of credit and 10.35% to other classes of sales, distributed among 2,481 customers. The customer with the largest open account outstanding did not exceed 1.52% of total.

Arauco has not entered into any refinancing or renegotiations with its customers which involve amendments to the invoice due, and if necessary, any renegotiation of debt with a customer will be analyzed on a case by case basis and approved by the Corporate Finance Department.

The receivables covered by credit insurance and collateral were 96.8%. Therefore, Arauco’s credit risk exposure of its portfolio is 3.2%.

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

The Credit and Collections Department, which reports to the Treasury 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, in the Company’s Credit Policy.

For the approval and/or modification of the clients’ credit facilities, a procedure has been put in place, which must be followed by all of the companies of the Arauco group. The requests for credit facilities are entered into SAP, where all of the available information is analyzed, including the amount of the facility granted by the credit insurance company. Afterwards, the requests are approved or rejected by each of the internal committees of each company of the Arauco group, depending on the maximum amount authorized by the Credit Policy. If the credit facility exceeds such amount, it is then analyzed by the Corporate Committee. Credit facilities are renewed on a yearly basis, following this internal process.

Sales via letters of credit are executed mostly in the markets of Asia and the Middle East. Periodically, a credit assessment is conducted regarding the banks which issue the letters of credit, in order to obtain the risk rating granted by the main risk rating agencies, along with their country and global ranking and financial situation during the last 5 years. Pursuant to this evaluation, a decision is made on whether to approve the issuer bank or to request a confirmation of the letter of credit.

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 June 30, 2015, 91.69% are current (i.e. non-past due), 6.41% are between 1 and 30 days past due, 0.62% are between 30 and 60 days past due, 0.00% are between 61 and 90 days past due, 0.24% are between 91 and 120 days past due, 0.46% are between 121 and 150 days past due, 0.03% are between 151 and 180 days past due, 0.00% are between 180 and 210 days past due, 0.00% are between 211 and 250 days past due, and 0.53% are more than 250 days past due.

Explanation of any changes to risk exposure or changes in objectives, processes and policies regarding previous years’ risk management.

Arauco has implemented a Guarantee Policy in order to control accounting, valuation and expiration of these and a Corporate Credit Policy.

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 with adequate liquidity. Each instrument has defined classifications and limits, depending on duration and type of issuer.

Regarding intermediaries (such as banks, securities brokers and broker/dealers of mutual funds), a scoring methodology is used to determine the relative degree of risk of each intermediary based on their financial position and assign 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.

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

The Financial Management Department monitors on an ongoing basis the Company’s cash flow forecasts based on short and long term forecasts and available financing alternatives. In order to manage the risk level of financial assets, Arauco follows its investment policy.

The following tables detail Arauco’s liquidity analysis for its financial liabilities as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The tables have been drawn up based on the contractual undiscounted cash outflows and their remaining contractual maturities:

CELULOSA ARAUCO Y CONSTITUCION S.A.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2015

Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as indicated

 

 

Guarantees provided

As of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, Arauco has financial assets of approximately ThU.S.$61 that have been pledged to third parties (beneficiaries), as direct guarantee. If Arauco does not fulfill its obligations, the guarantors could execute the guarantees.

As of June 30, 2015, the total assets pledged as an indirect guarantee were ThU.S.$917. In contrast to direct guarantees, indirect guarantees are given to secure obligations assumed by a third party.

On September 29, 2011, Arauco entered into a Security Agreement under which it granted a non-joint guarantee limited to 50% of the obligations of the Uruguayan companies (joint ventures) Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A., under the IDB Facility Agreement in the amount of up to ThU.S.$454,000 and the Finnevera Guaranteed Facility Agreement in the amount of up to ThU.S.$900,000. Both loan agreements were signed with the International Development Bank. Such guarantee is included in the table below, under indirect guarantees.

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 +/- 4.38% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/- 18,102), and +/- 0.16% of assets (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/- 10,861).

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 +/- 0.20% (equivalent to ThU.S.$777) and a change on the equity of +/- 0.01% (equivalent to ThU.S.$777).

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 June 30, 2015, 14.5% 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 +/- 0.12% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 458) and +/- 0.004% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 275) 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 June 30, 2015, revenue due to pulp sales accounted for 42% 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 9% (equivalent to MU.S.$125), on the income after tax and +/- 20% (equivalent to MU.S.$99) and +/- 0.8% (equivalent to MU.S.$59) 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 seven plants, five in Chile, one in Argentina and one in Uruguay and they have a total production capacity of approximately 3.9 million tons per year. Pulp is sold in more than 45 countries, mainly in Asia and Europe.

Panels

The Panels operating segment produces a wide range of panel products and several kinds of moldings aimed at the furniture, decoration and construction industries. It consists of 17 industrial plants: 5 in Chile, 2 in Argentina, 2 in Brazil, and 8 plants around USA and Canada. The Company has a total annual production capacity of 6.6 million cubic meters of PBO, MDF, Hardboards, plywood and moldings.

Sawn Timber

Furthermore, the Company has 5 remanufacturing plants, 4 in Chile and 1 in Argentina. These plants reprocess sawn wood and produce high quality remanufactured products, such as finger joint and solid moldings as well as precut pieces.

Forestry

The Forestry operating segment is Arauco’s core business. It provides raw materials for all products manufactured and sold by the Company. By directly controlling the growth of the forests to be processed, Arauco guarantees itself quality wood for each of its products.

Arauco holds forestry assets distributed throughout Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, reaching 1.6 million hectares, of which 1 million hectares are used for plantations, 395 thousand hectares for native forests, 183 thousand hectares for other uses and 53 thousand hectares are to be planted.

Arauco’s principal plantations consist of radiata and taeda pine and eucalyptus to a lesser degree. These are species that have fast growth rates and short harvest cycles compared with other long fiber commercial woods.

Arauco has no customers representing 10% or more of its revenues.

A summary of financial information of assets, liabilities, profit or loss for each operating segment is presented in the tables below:

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 distributable 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.

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

The following table details the adjustments made for the determination of distributable net income as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 in order to determine the provision of 40% of the distributable net income for each year:

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.

Interim Review Second Quarter 2015 Results
August 21st, 2015
INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS
Revenues
Arauco’s revenues for the second quarter of 2015 reached US$ 1,372.7 million, 7.8% higher than the US$ 1,273.3 million obtained during the first quarter of 2015. The main driver of this increase was higher sales volumes from all of our business segments.
The main change during this quarter was the increase by 10.4% in our Pulp division, mainly due to a higher sales volume of hard wood pulp. Key drivers were a higher production in Montes del Plata and higher sales in the Chinese market. Average prices for long fiber decreased, partially offset by a sustained increase in short fiber prices.
Our Sawn timber revenues increased 5.3%, explained by the increase in sales volume by 3.0%, which is largely due to strong level of exports to the Asian market. Panels division’s revenues increased 4.6%, explained by higher sales volume of 7.5%, mostly driven by our business in North America.
Compared to the US$ 1,374.6 million obtained in the second quarter of 2014, consolidated sales were 0.1% lower, mainly explained by a 14.9% decrease in sales of our sawn timber business, and partially offset by 5.2% increase in sales of our pulp business and a
2.3% increase in our panels sales.

Cost of Sales
For the second quarter of the year, cost of sales reached US$ 918.7 million, 7.0% higher than the US$ 858.5 million obtained in the first quarter of 2015. This is partially explained by the increase in sales volume in the pulp, panel, and sawn timber industry.
In terms of costs by concept, when we compare with the first quarter of 2015, our main increases were in Chemicals (US$ 15.5 million) and Forestry services (US$ 14.8 million) due to a rise in forestry road maintenances, a seasonal work that increases in Winter. In addition, Maintenance expenses increased by US$ 13.7 million and Raw material and Indirect costs by US$ 13.6 million.
During the second quarter of the year we had a decrease in unitary cost of sales for bleached softwood pulp and bleached hardwood pulp of 0.6% and 9.2% respectively, when compared to the first quarter of 2015. Hardwood had an important cost improvement due to higher production volume in Montes del Plata and therefore a higher efficiency.
Other Relevant Items:
Distribution Costs and Administrative Expenses: Distribution costs increased 7.9% (US$ 9.7 million), mainly due to the increase in freight expenses by 8.5%, caused by larger sales volume of our exported products. Administrative expenses increased 16.4% (US$ 21.4 million). As a percentage of revenues, both items combined were 20.7%, similar to the 19.9% in the previous quarter
Foreign Exchange Difference: There was a US$10.5 million gain due to Foreign exchange differences during the second quarter, caused by a decrease in tax account receivables paid in April and the 3.2% Brazilian real appreciation during the last three months, due to the debt denominated in US dollars

Net Income
Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was US$ 105.9 million, an increase of 23.6% or US$20.2 million compared to the US$ 85.7 million obtained in the first quarter of the year. This growth was due to a US$ 8.1 million increase in the Operating Income, which in turn improved because of higher revenues. This effect was partially offset by higher cost of sales of US$ 60.2 million and higher Administrative expenses of US$ 21.4 million. There was also an increase in other operating income of US$7.6 million, caused by foreign exchange gains, previously explained above.
Compared to the same quarter in 2014, Net income in the second quarter of 2015 was 16.7% or US$ 21.3 million lower.

Production
During the second quarter of 2015, our Pulp production was 937 thousand Adt, a 5.3% increase compared to the 890 thousand Adt produced in the previous quarter. This is mainly explained by higher levels of production of the Montes del Plata mill, which improved its performance after the maintenance stoppage executed in the previous quarter. In June, Montes del Plata reached its nominal capacity level.
Production volume in Panels division was 1,372 thousand m3, 7.4% or 95 thousand m3 higher than the previous quarter. The production volume from Sawn timber division was stable, with a 1.6% increase or 11 thousand m3, compared to the 694 thousand m3 produced in the previous quarter.
Compared to the second quarter of 2014, production volume increased 21.9% in our Pulp division, our Panel’s production increased 11.3% and our Sawn timber production decreased 2.8%.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 reached US$ 343.1 million, which was 5.4% or US$ 17.7 million higher than the US$ 325.4 million reached during the previous quarter, which is overall explained by an increase in higher sales volume and an improvement in unitary costs of pulp. In terms of Adjusted EBITDA by business, during the second quarter of the year we had an increase of US$ 30.8 million in our Pulp division. This is as a result of an increase of Adjusted EBITDA of Montes el Plata, due to higher sales volume as well as an increase of short fiber prices. Panels division increased US$ 16.2 million mainly due to higher sales volume in the North American market.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 was higher by 8.8% or US$ 27.7 million when compared with the US$ 315.3 million reached in the same period of 2014.

REVIEW BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
1- Pulp Division
During the second quarter of 2015, paper production and pulp demand diminished due to a seasonality effect in the Northern hemisphere. Signs of pulp oversupply was evidenced during the second half of the quarter, although prices in long fiber and short fiber started to show an upward trend in all markets. Short fiber prices rose despite the opening of a new mill in Brazil during May 2015. The initial operation of new mills usually have an effect in markets, even though mills take months to be fully operational.
In Asia, short and long fiber prices increased in US$ 40 and US$ 50 respectively, which translates into a 6% and 8% price gain during this second quarter. The price gap between these two fibers was reduced to US$10 per ton, and can be associated with the substitution of short fiber for long fiber. It is important to note however, that this substitution has a limited effect and usually occurs if the price trend is stable for some months. Chinese paper mills are fairly flexible and are therefore likely to adopt this change. The Chinese market kept growing and pulp imports overall increased in 10.5% up to June 2015 compared to 2014 (9.4% in bleached long fiber and 12.6% in bleached short fiber). The paper market in China is still experiencing a supply surplus, with large inventories and small margins. However, this situation has improved in comparison to the previous quarter.
In the European markets, due to the weakening of the euro, prices have remained stable or have had minor increases throughout this second quarter. In the long fiber market, where there is competition with Eurozone producers, prices have remained stable or have experienced decreases between 0.7% and 1.0%. In contrast, the short fiber market, where imports play a bigger role and therefore follow the US dollar trend, prices rose US$ 20 to US$ 30 (4%-5%). Despite the closing of production mills and consequently less production, paper companies in Europe are still under pressure and have not improved their margins. In general, paper producers have their mills working at a capacity of 90%. Although this operational rate is fairly high, producers have still not been able to transfer their higher costs to their consumers. Higher costs are mainly due to the euro depreciation that directly affects imports, shutdown of mills, and a reduction of the European market in general.
The Middle East market has shown a promising level of activity and pulp demand has increased because of new paper mills, especially in tissue paper. Specifically, Turkey has increased tissue paper production considerably and have turned into one of the important producers in the region, exporting to North Africa and Middle East countries in general.
Our production was normal throughout this second quarter. There was a programmed maintenance in the Constitución Mill in April and the Valdivia Mill changed its production from long fiber to short fiber to meet market demands. It is important to note that the latter is designed to be able to produce both types of fibers interchangeably.

2- Sawn Timber Division
The sawn timber market showed a slight improvement in total sales compared to last quarter, although they were inferior when compared to the same period in 2014. This difference is mainly due to the general decrease of price levels within the first six months of this year. This trend is a consequence of a supply surplus from countries with weakening currencies, which makes to export a much more attractive scenario.
Our sales have strengthened in Asia in terms of volume throughout this second quarter, although the Middle East had less activity due to competition, principally from Europe. Both markets have experienced a decrease in volumes exported when compared to the first half of the year of 2014.
The North American market maintains its dynamism in new constructions and renovations, which translates into a stable market demand for our moldings.
In Chile and the rest of Latin America, there is a stable demand, which has enabled a higher market share this year and a desired level of product mix.
3- Panels Division
The tendency observed during the first quarter of the year is maintained, showing a growth in sales compared to the first half of 2014.
It is worth stressing that there has been an increase in the manufacturing of plywood thanks to our new mill in Nueva Aldea. There have also been favorable levels of sales in particle board manufactured in the Teno Mill, both in volume and product mix. Particleboards has maintained a stable demand throughout the first six months of this year, and our efforts to sell products with added value, such as melamine boards, has continued with promising results.
With respect to MDF, there is more competition throughout all the markets due to a generalized boost in supply. The weakening of the Brazilian real and the supply surplus have increased export volumes. The capacity to export MDF from Argentina is still diminished, forcing to sell primarily in the domestic market and to operate at lower production rates.

SECOND QUARTER AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND NEWS
New effluent treatment investment at Arauco Pulp Mill under way
Construction work for a new effluent treatment system at the Arauco pulp mill has commenced. The treatment system, which will be an important addition to the industrial complex in the Horcones area, will be built on 36.4 hectares (90 acres) of land. The company is investing US$ 120 million in this project, which is expected to be ready in May 2017. This effluent treatment system is a part of the MAPA project.
Dissolving Pulp Project Environmental Permit
In April a constitutional action (recurso de protección) was filed at the Court of Appeals of Valdivia against the Environmental Assessment Service (SEA) in relation to our Dissolving Pulp Project at the Valdivia Mill, arguing that the environmental permit was granted without meeting all required formalities. The Court of Appeals granted such action and revoked the environmental permit. We have appealed to the Supreme Court and the case is currently under review. Arauco believes that the environmental impact assessment was carried out by the authorities in full compliance with legal standards.
Chilean Pavilion for Expo Milan 2015 carbon neutral
Arauco signed a carbon offset pledge which will allow the Chilean Pavilion for Expo Milan 2015 to become certified as carbon neutral. Biomass-based clean energy registered under the Kyoto Protocol mainly from Arauco’s Valdivia pulp mill will offset the pavilion’s carbon footprint.
Increase of conservation area in Arauco
Arauco has substantially increased the areas set aside for conservation, from 3,000 hectares (7,413 acres) to almost 60,000 (148,263 acres) in these past four years. This extension includes 37 biological areas and 69 cultural interest sites located throughout the VI and X Regions of Chile, whose identification and management are conducted under the guidelines and methods promoted by the High Conservation Value Network and PROFOREST.
