As of June 30, 2016, total assets increased U.S.$289 million compared to December 31, 2015, equivalent to a 2.12% of variations. This deviation was driven mainly by increases in the balance of investments in connection with the purchase of a 50% interest in the joint venture SONAE ARAUCO, properties, plant and equipment and biological assets, partially offset by a decrease in trade and other accounts receivable.

In turn, total liabilities increased by U.S.$32 million mainly due to an increase in financial liabilities offset mainly by a decrease in non-financial liabilities for a lower register of provision for minimum dividend compared to December 31, 2015.

As of June 30, 2016, the short-term debt represented 19% of total liabilities (15% as of December 31, 2015).

Our financial expenses coverage ratio decreased from 3.05 to 2.10, mainly due to the lower earnings before taxes for the period ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period of 2015.

 

  b) Statements of income

Income before income tax

Income before income tax registered a profit of approximately U.S.$150 million compared to a profit of approximately U.S.$269 million in the same period of 2015. The negative variation of U.S.$116 million 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 follows a 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 material differences between the economic value of our assets and the value reflected in these Financial Statements.

4. MARKET SITUATION

Pulp Division

After the price adjustment during the first quarter of this year, especially in short fiber, prices reached a plateau in most markets and even regained some price strength in others. The short fiber market is still undergoing pressure, although there are signs that these are subsiding. In terms of region, Western Europe has had the slowest recovery rate. Worldwide inventory levels decreased by two days in long fiber and five days in short fiber. Paper producers looking to recover inventory levels as well as mill stoppages during the spring season in the Northern Hemisphere supported some price upsurges this quarter. Counteracting these factors are the incoming volume from new pulp mills coming into play during the first quarter of the year.

Asia was the leader in price recovery this quarter, with long fiber and short fiber prices up by U.S.$ 20 each, which translated to a 3% and 4% gain, respectively. Annual maintenance stoppage season helped long fiber prices along, while short fiber prices were boosted thanks to paper producers seeking to recover inventory levels. The price gap of approximately U.S.$

110 (with short fiber on the lower end) also favored the substitution of long fiber to short fiber. Despite this optimism, price gains remain fragile and could be neutralized by the upcoming paper demand low season. Asian countries continue to follow Chinese price trends. Looking for better and more stable returns, many producers of unbleached long fiber pulp have started to produce larger quantities aimed for the niche market of fiber cement. This move has driven overall prices in this type of fiber downwards.

In Europe, paper producers foresee less demand in the upcoming summer months, and have therefore controlled their inventory levels, making price hikes harder to achieve. Supply- demand imbalances continue to impact these markets, although there could be more breathing room after many producers begin their maintenance stoppages. Prices remained stable during this quarter, with short fiber maintaining the same price levels as last quarter, and long fiber picking up 2% or U.S.$ 10. Inventory levels at European ports continue to be above normal levels, leading many producers to redirect volumes to other geographic areas.

In other markets, such as the Middle East, price increases were limited, reaching U.S.$ 10 in both fibers. Latin American demand growth has slowed down, while supply has increased from new pulp mills in Brazil, which commercialize long fiber, short fiber and fluff in the local market.

Our production levels were according to plan, decreasing due to maintenance stoppages in our Constitución Mill and Montes del Plata Mill. The maintenance stoppage of our Constitución Mill lasted two months, where the recovery boiler was modernized and preventative maintenance was performed, among other things. The Montes del Plata stoppage lasted for two weeks.

Timber Division

This quarter’s surge in sales by 7.3% was largely propelled by sales in the panels market. In sawn timber, prices have improved slightly but have yet to affect our bottom line. The impact of these price increases will most likely be seen come next quarter.

The panels market experienced an overall increase in sales volume during this quarter. In North America, the MDF market has been pressured as more supply has entered the market, although the temporary closing of a mill due to fire has enabled the market to recover. Arauco North America even had to import MDF from Brazil, Argentina, and Chile in order to meet sales requirements. Demand for laminated flooring and particleboard have also lifted sales in the Northern hemisphere. In Brazil, sales volume has improved in MDF, reaching a 7.8% growth in sales volume compared to the same quarter of last year. Counteracting this growth is the depreciation of the real, which affects the bottom line of our exports in U.S. dollar terms from this country. Particleboard regained momentum during April and May, showing price improvements. Colombia has been affected by the lack of ground transportation due to trucker strikes in that nation. Despite less sales activity in the rest of Latin America, Arauco has been able to meet planned sales volume, and has even been able to increase prices in some countries.

Sawn timber markets were greatly affected during the last quarter and are still in the recovery stage. Pine moldings sales volume has increased in North America despite oversupply. On the other side of the world, wood products used for packaging have shown strength in the Asian and Middle Eastern markets. New competition in the Middle East has stimulated demand for our products. A new shipping contract for this region should come into force at year-end, which will raise margins. Plywood has improved prices and sales volume in Europe, Latin America and North America, even recovering market share in the latter. The uplift in North American prices could be vulnerable to new supply coming from South America.

The financing cash flow had a negative balance of U.S.$69 million in the current period compared to a negative balance of U.S.$607 million in the same period of 2015. Such decrease was mainly due to an increase in bank loans received and a decrease in loan payments.

In relation to the flow of investment at the end of the current period, there was a negative balance of U.S.$357 million compared to a negative balance of U.S.$301 million in the same period of 2015. Such increase was mainly due to greater disbursements for the purchase of the interest in the joint venture SONAE ARAUCO, partially offset by lower payments for the acquisition of properties, plant and equipment and biological assets

6. MARKET RISK ANALYSIS

In respect of the economic risks resulting from interest rate variations, the Company maintains, as of June 30, 2016, a ratio of fixed rate debt to total consolidated debt of approximately 86%, 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, 2016, a detailed analysis of the risks associated with the business of Arauco is available (See Note 23).

Period Covered by the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Period between January 1 and June 30, 2016.

Date of Approval of Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the Extraordinary Session N° 553 held on August 23, 2016 for the period between January 1 and June 30, 2016.

Abbreviations used in this report:

MU.S.$ - Millions of U.S. dollars

ThU.S.$ - Thousands of U.S. dollars

U.F. – Inflation index-linked units of account

EBITDA – Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization

ICMS – Tax movement of inventories and services (Brazil)

Functional and Presentation Currency

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

For the pulp operating segment, most of the sales are exports denominated in U.S. Dollars and costs are mainly related 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, prices of the products are established in U.S. Dollars, which is also the case for the cost structure of the related raw materials.

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

The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the U.S. Dollar. Figures on these interim consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. Dollar (ThU.S.$).

These interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and represent the full adoption, explicitly and unreserved of the mentioned international standards.

Retroactive application of IFRS

On October 17, 2014, the SVS issued Circular Letter No. 856, instructing auditees to register in fiscal year 2014 against equity the differences in assets and liabilities as a result of deferred taxes arising from the direct effect of the increase in the first category tax rates introduced by Law No. 20,780. Such accounting treatment differs from IAS 12 and, therefore, represented a change to the framework for the preparation and presentation of financial information adopted up to that date.

Considering what was explained in the preceding paragraph represented a specific and temporary deviation from IFRS, as from 2016 and according to paragraph 4A of IFRS 1, Arauco has decided to apply retroactively such rules (in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”), as if it had never stopped applying them.

Given that what was indicated in the preceding paragraph does not alter any of the accounts shown in the financial statements as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, nor the financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, in accordance with paragraph 40A of IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, it is not necessary to present financial statements as of January 1, 2015 (third column).

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for biological assets and certain derivative 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.

 

b) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (SVS), 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.

-Biological Assets

The recovery of forest plantations is based on discounted cash flow models which means 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; therefore it is 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

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the Group’s holding in the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Said fair 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. See Note 17.

-Litigation and Contingencies

Arauco and its subsidiaries are subject to certain litigation proceedings. Future impact on Arauco’s financial condition derived from such litigations is 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 or subsidiary 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 Arauco holds less than the majority of voting rights in a company in which it participates, it nonetheless has the power over said company - when these voting rights are enough - to grant it in practice the ability to unilaterally direct said company’s relevant activities. Arauco 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 other than those adopted in the interim consolidated financial statements for transactions and other events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries in order 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 interest is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent company.

The interim 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

 

    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, assets and liabilities of Arauco’s operations in a 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: ‘loans and receivables’ and “derivative financial instruments”. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on the trade date, which require delivery of assets within the same time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

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.

Derivative financial instruments are explained in Note 1 h)

Financial liabilities

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) Derivative Financial Instruments - 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, currency swaps and zero cost collar contracts. The company’s policy is that derivative contracts are entered into for economic hedging purposes and that there be no instruments for speculation purposes.

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 as a hedging instrument and complies with hedge accounting requirements of 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 profit or loss. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income 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.

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 and in process products includes the cost of raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and manufacturing overhead 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 disposal groups (groups of assets to be sold together with their directly associated liabilities) as non-current assets held for sale which as of the date of the statement of financial position are the subject of active sale efforts which are estimated to be highly probable. Non-current assets held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet.

These assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less the costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated or 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 3 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.

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 nor losses are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

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 of non-controlling interests, 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 are recognized through consolidation of assets, liabilities and results of operations in relation to Arauco’s ownership percentage.

If the cost of acquisition is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the associate acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement and presented in the line Other Income (Loss).

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”.

Only if the investor has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture, it must recognize a liability, showing a zero investment until such time as it generates profits that reverse the generated negative equity previously generated as a result of accrued losses. Otherwise, a liability is not recognized but a zero investment is indicated regardless.

 

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 is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest 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.

Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on annual basis.

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.

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 change in the carrying amount of goodwill in Brazil is only 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.

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 nature 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 profit or loss.

 

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

The tax liabilities are recognized in the 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 liability method, on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated annual accounts. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates contained in laws adopted as of the date of the financial statements and that are expected to be applicable when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income taxes are registered according to rules established in IAS12 “Income Taxes”, except for the application in 2014 of the Official Circular Letter No. 856 issued on October 17, 2014 by the SVS, which instructed auditees to register in the respective fiscal year against equity on a one-time basis, differences in assets and liabilities for deferred taxes occurred as a direct effect of the increase in the first category tax rate 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 interim 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.

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.

The structure for recognizing revenue from export sales is based on the 2010 Incoterms, which are the official rules for the interpretation of commercial terms issued by the International Chamber of Commerce.

The main Incoterms used by Arauco are the following:

“CFR (Cost and freight)”, where the company bears all costs including main transportation, until the products arrives at its port of destination. The risk is transferred to the purchaser once the products have been loaded onto the vessel, in the country of origin.

“CIF (Cost Insurance & Freight)”, where the Company organizes and pays for external freight services and some other expenses. Arauco is no longer responsible for the products once they have been delivered to the ocean carrier company. The point of sale is the delivery of the products to the carrier chartered by the seller.

 

(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 dividends payable provision is registered for 40% of the liquid distributable profit and against a lower equity, based on the yearly resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting.

Dividends payable are presented in the line item “Other current non-financial liabilities” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

v) Earning per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit 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 are any circumstances indicating that the assets have to recognize an impairment loss. Among the circumstances 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.

A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however the reversal is limited to the amount recognized in previous 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 recognized an impairment loss, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period whether there are any circumstances indicating 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

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, for which goodwill has been allocated, is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when there are circumstances indicating 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 other assets pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss of goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

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 assessment 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 loss 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 profit or loss.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on an analysis of the maturity of the portfolio and considering the insurance coverage on accounts receivable. Other conditions are assessed, for example, when there is objective evidence of default or delinquency in payments under the original sale terms and when the customer enters into bankruptcy or financial reorganization, 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 constitutes labor obligations for severance payable in all circumstances for certain of its employees with at least 5 years of work in the Company, based on the terms of the staff’s collective and individual bargaining agreements.

The related provision is an estimate of the years of service to be recognized as a future labor obligation liability, in accordance with contracts between Arauco and its employees and pursuant to actuarial valuation criteria for this type of liability. This post-employment benefit is considered a defined benefit plan.

The main factors considered for calculating the actuarial value of severance 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 related to post-employee benefits in accordance with current standards.

 

y) Employee Vacations

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

Inventories recognized as cost of sales at June 30, 2016 were ThU.S.$1,658,194 (ThU.S.$1,704,234 at June 30, 2015).

In order to have the inventories recorded at net realizable value at June 30, 2016, a net decrease of inventories was recognized associated with a higher provision of obsolescence of ThU.S.$1,265 (lower provision of ThU.S.$1,833 at June 30, 2015). As of June 30, 2016, the amount of obsolescence provision is ThU.S.$21,367 (ThU.S.$20,102 at December 31, 2015).

At June 30, 2016 there were inventory write-offs of ThU.S.$693 (ThU.S.$2,484 at June 30, 2015)

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

As of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, there are no inventories pledged as security to report.

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. These 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 the amounts of cash surpluses in the short-term. 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 24% in Chile, 35% in Argentina, 34% in Brazil, 25% in Uruguay and 34% in the United States (federal tax).

On September 29, 2014, the Official Gazette published Law No. 20,780, which introduced various amendments to the current income tax system, as well as to other taxes. The main amendment was the establishment of an option between two tax regimes: attributed income system and the partially integrated system. One of the effects of the regime selection is that it attaches a progressive increase in the First Category Tax for the fiscal years of 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 onwards, increasing to 21%, 22,5%, 24% y 25%, respectively, if the Company chooses the application of an attributed income system, or an increase to 21%, 22.5%, 24%, 25.5% y 27% for the fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, if the Company chooses the application of the partially integrated system.

Subsequently, on February 29, 2016, the Official Gazette publishes Law No. 20,899, which introduced amendments to Law No. 20,780. Among the main amendments is the incorporation of certain limitations for applying to the attributed income system, and therefore Arauco’s Chilean companies must apply the general rule, that is, the partially integrated system.

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.$116,216 (ThU.S.$112,383 at December 31, 2015), 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.$ 82,350 (ThU.S.$ 114,507 at December 31, 2015) of non-recoverable tax losses from companies in Uruguay as joint operations based on the participation of Arauco, for which deferred tax assets have not been recognized. The estimated recovery period exceeds the expiry date of such tax losses.

NOTE 14. INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Company mergers

On December 1, 2015 there was a merger among the affiliates Paneles Arauco S.A. (successor), Aserraderos Arauco S.A. and Arauco Distribución S.A. This transaction had no effect on results and was performed with a view to generate greater synergies, share best practices and achieve better results for our clients. There will be a progressive integration of the activities of sawmills, remanufacturing, plywood, panels and distribution under the same view, with products oriented to the furniture, construction, fitting and packaging industries.

Investments in Subsidiaries

In October 2015, the company acquired the remaining 51% of the interest ownership in Novo Oeste Gestao de Ativos Florestais S.A., in which it held, on December 31, 2015, a stake of 100% through Arauco’s subsidiaries in Brazil. Tables below show the acquired assets and liabilities at fair value, consideration paid and effects generated through the transaction.

The interest previously held by Novo Oeste Gestao de Ativos Florestais S.A. was measured at fair value, recognizing a gain in the other income line of ThU.S.$15,268. The price paid for the 51% interest was ThU.S.$995, generating a goodwill of ThU.S.$6,697, for which Arauco decided to recognize in the results because of the Company’s accumulated losses. The impairment loss is presented net from the abovementioned gain.

On August 13, 2015, the company Arauco Middle East DMCC was incorporated with a single contribution from Inversiones Arauco Internacional Limitada of 3,673,000 Dirham (ThU.S.$1,000). The corporate purpose of this company is the promotion of products and the management of Arauco’s customer relations in the Middle East.

NOTE 16. INTERESTS IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS

Investments and contributions made

On May 31, 2016, Inversiones Arauco Internacional Limitada, Arauco’s subsidiary, acquired 50% of the shares of Tableros de Fibras S.A, a Spanish subsidiary of SONAE INDUSTRIA, SGPS, S.A. (“Sonae”), which as of such date changed its name to “Sonae Arauco S.A.”. The price paid by Arauco for the acquisition of 50% of the shares of Sonae Arauco was the amount of €137,500,000 (equivalent to MUS $ 153,135 at the acquisition date). The fair value of the investment acquired over Sonae Arauco SA, has been provisionally determined as of June 30, 2016 at MUS$ 153,135 and is subject to change, until the completion of the valuation of its net assets.

Sonae Arauco will produce and market wood panels, of the type of MDF, PB and OSB, and sawn timber, through the operation of 2 panel plants and one sawmill in Spain; 2 panel plants and one resin plant in Portugal; 4 panel plants in Germany and 2 panel plants in South Africa.

In the aggregate, the production capacity of Sonae Arauco is of approximately 1.45 million m3 of MDF, 2.27 million m3 of particle boards, 460,000 m3 of OSB and 100,000 m3 of sawn timber.

As of June 30, 2016, Arauco has not carried out any contributions to Uruguayan companies Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A. (MUS$ 82,943 as of December 31, 2015), with Arauco still holding 50% of control under a joint agreement.

The contributions made were invested in the construction of a last generation 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.

The investments in Uruguay qualify as a joint operation. In relation to “other rights and contractual conditions”, the joint operation has the primary objective of providing the parties an output. As established in the “Pulp Supply Agreement”, both Arauco and its partner have the obligation to acquire 100% of the yearly pulp produced by the joint operation. Arauco has recognized the assets, liabilities, income and expenses associated with its interest ownership, as of January 1, 2013, pursuant to IFRS 11.

Furthermore, Arauco holds a 50% ownership interest in Unilin Arauco Pisos Laminados Ltda., a Brazilian company, and in Eka Chile S.A. (“Eka”), a company that sells sodium chlorate to cellulose plants in Chile. There is a contractual agreement with these companies whereby Arauco has engaged in an economic activity subject to common control, which is classified as a joint venture.

The following tables set forth summarized financial information of the more significant interests in joint arrangements, which qualify as joint operations:

NOTE 17. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

As of June 30, 2016 not new impairment provisions to report.

In 2015, a provision for the impairment of the Arapoti Sawmill in an amount of ThU.S.$2,428, was registered reducing the recoverable value for these assets to zero.

Disclosure of Impairment Losses of Assets

Provisions for impairment of property, plant and equipment due to technical obsolescence have been recorded as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively, as shown below:

     06-30-2016    12-31-2015

Information relevant to the sum of all impairment

   ThU.S.$4,777    ThU.S.$4,658

This impairment provision is being analyzed to determine the definitive write-off corresponding to the related assets. In addition, the Company recognized an impairment derived from the purchase of the 51% ownership in Novo Oeste Gestao de Ativos Florestais S.A. See Note 14 – acquisition of subsidiaries.

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.$75,472 (ThU.S.$69,475, at December 31, 2015)

Of the total of goodwill, ThU.S.$39,776 (ThU.S.$39,631 as of December 31, 2015) are generated by the acquisition of “Flakeboard”, a company that, directly and/or through its subsidiaries, possesses and operates 7 panel plants, for which Arauco acquired and paid, on September 24, 2012, the price of ThU.S.$242,502 for the 100% interest ownerhip.

The recoverable amount for Flakeboard’s cash generating unit was determined based on the calculations of its value in use, and this calculation was made using cash flow projections covering a 5-year term, applying a real discount rate of 7.8% which reflects current market assessments for the Panels segment in North America.

The investment in the panel plant in Pien, Brazil generated a goodwill of ThU.S.$32,882 (ThU.S.$27,030 as of December 31, 2015).

The recoverable amount for the Pien plant’s cash generating unit was determined based on the calculations of its value in use, and this calculation was made using cash flow projections based on the operational plan approved by the Administration, covering a 5-year term, applying a 9% real discount rate that reflects current evaluations for the panel segment in Brazil.

As a result of the annual impairment test, the carrying value of the goodwill does not exceed their recoverable value, and therefore there is no need to recognize impairment losses.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the variation of the balance in goodwill is only due to the translation adjustments as explained in the accounting policies.

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 resolutions No. 184 and No. 185 of 2005, objecting to certain income tax returns made by Arauco on April 16, 2001 and October 31, 2001, and furthermore, requested reimbursement from the Company for the tax returnes made in respect of certain claimed tax losses as well as the modification of the tax balance of retained earnings. 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 resolutions No. 184 and 185 of 2005. The RAF was resolved on January 9, 2009 by the Chilean IRS, which resolution 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. On March 20, 2015, the SII responded to the allegations submitted by Arauco against Liquidations No. 184 and 185 of 2005. Currently, the case’s evidentiary stage is due to begin.

Considering that the Company’s position is based on solid legal grounds, there is a reasonable margin for obtaining a favorable result for the Company.

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 had from the aforementioned event, including loss of profits, pain and suffering and an alleged contractual liability.

On November 16, 2015, the defendant challenged the definitive decision through the submission of a cassation appeal based on formal aspects and an ordinary appeal. In turn, the plaintiff adhered to the appeal, seeking to have the amount of the non-monetary damages recognized by the first instance decision increased. Pending. (Court of Appeals Docket No. 60-2016).

On November 20, 2007, Arauco Argentina S.A. submitted a counterclaim completely rejecting all of AFIP’s allegations and asserting legal arguments that justify its actions in the determination of its income tax.

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 $417,908,207 (ThU.S.$ 27,786 at June 30, 2016), 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.$391 at June 30, 2016).

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.$42,129 as of June 30, 2016), 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.$694 at June 30, 2016) 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 (equivalent to ThU.S.$109 at June 30, 2016), 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.$ 23,440 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 245,359,796 (ThU.S.$16,314 at June 30, 2016).

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 beginning the trial period. 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 was served with 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 of obtaining a favorable outcome (that is to say, no fines being imposed) is high, given the solid defense arguments raised by Arauco Argentina S.A. and the precedents relating 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.

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. On August 28, 2015, the plaintiff filed a cassation appeal based on substantial and procedural grounds against the judgment of the Court of Appeals. On September 4, 2015, the Court of Appeals set an outcome guaranty deposit (fianza de resultas) of 50 million Chilean pesos. On September 10, 2015, the defendant requested that the guaranty deposit be set aside, or alternatively reduced to the amount of 300,000 Chilean Pesos. On September 16, 2015, the Court of Appeals decided to keep the guaranty deposit in the amount of 50 million Chilean pesos. On October 21, 2015, the cassation appeal was processed by the Supreme Court. On October 23, 2015, the petitioner formally became a party to the cassation proceedings. On November 3, 2015, the respondent formally became a party to the cassation proceedings. On November 6, 2015, Forestal Arauco S.A. filed a motion for the declaration of inadmissibility of the cassation appeal. On June 1, 2016, the Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeals. The case is now closed. (Court Docket No. 595-2014).

2. 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 October 27, 2015, the Court passed a first instance definitive judgment, dismissing the claim in its entirety. On November 16, 2015, the plaintiff challenged the first instance judgment by means of a cassation appeal based on substantial and procedural grounds. (Case Docket Court of Appeals No. 1956-2015). The Court of Appeals decided to send the case back to the first instance court, in order for the latter to issue a ruling regarding a witness disqualification that was not resolved in the original decision, thus completing the ruling. The first instance court, complying with the orders issued by the Court of Appeals of Concepción, decided to reject the witness disqualification filed against witness Mr. Gabriel Fernández P., and none of the parties objected to said decision.

NOTE 20. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

Biological assets comprise forestry plantations, mainly radiata and taeda pine, and to a lesser extent eucalyptus. The plantations are located in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, with a total surface of 1.7 million hectares, out of which 1 million hectares are used for forestry planting, 406 thousand hectares are native forest, 187 thousand hectares are used for other purposes and 74 thousand hectares not yet planted.

As of June 30, 2016, the production volume of logs totaled 9.5 million cubic meters (10,7 million cubic meters as of June 30, 2015).

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 internal data from 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 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 volume that will not decrease, 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 trades. 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 of the different products that are harvested in the forest is also considered in the valuation. 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 Statement of profit or loss under the line item Other income per function, which as of June 30, 2016 amounted to ThU.S.$98,874 (ThU.S.$94,062 as of June 30, 2015). The appraisal of biological assets resulted in a greater cost of the lumber sold in comparison to the real incurred cost, which is presented included in the cost of sales which as of June 30, 2016 amounted to ThU.S.$98,445 (ThU.S.$90,087 as of June 30, 2015).

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 the Company’s resources and efficient protection measures for these forestry assets, allow financial and operational risks to be minimized.

Detail of Biological Assets Pledged as Security

As of June 30, 2016, there are no forestry plantations pledged as security.

Detail of Biological Assets with Restricted Ownership

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

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.

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

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

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

23.2 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, 2016, 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: Securities or quoted prices 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).

23.3 Explanation of the valuation of Financial Instruments.

Cash and cash equivalent and accounts receivable

The carrying amount of accounts receivable flows, cash and cash equivalents (including mutual funds), and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

Derivative financial instruments

Interest rate and currency swaps are valued under the cash flow discount method at the rate applicable according to the transaction’s risk, using an internal methodology based on the information obtained from Bloomberg. In this particular case, given that cross currency swaps correspond to future flows in UF and future flows in Dollars, Arauco calculates the current value of such flows by using 2 discount curves: the UF zero coupon curve and the Dollar zero coupon.

The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts is calculated by reference to the rate differential between the agreed upon rate and the market rate as of the end date of these financial statements.

The fair value of the currency forward contracts is calculated by reference to the current forward exchange rates of contracts with similar maturity profiles.

For the case of zero cost collar, the Bloomberg terminal is used to value Fuel Oil No. 6 options.

Financial Liabilities

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.

Disclosures of the fair value of financial liabilities at amortized cost are determined via the use of discounted cash flows, calculated over variables of the observable markets as of the date of informing the consolidated financial statements, and correspond to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table shows compliance with financial covenants (level of indebtedness, exposed on point 23.9.3) required by domestic bond indentures:

Arauco needs to minimize the risk of exchange rate as it holds adjustable obligations in Chilean Pesos. The objective of this position in the swap is to eliminate the uncertainty of the exchange rate, exchanging the flows derived from obligations expressed in adjustable pesos of the bonds described above, with flows in U.S. dollars (Arauco’s functional currency), at a fixed and determined exchange rate as of the agreement’s execution date.

Through an effectiveness test, and pursuant to IFRS 39, we were able to validate that the aforementioned hedging instruments are highly effective within an acceptable range for Arauco, for the purposes of eliminating the uncertainty of the exchange rate in the commitments derived from the hedged object.

23.4.1.2 Zero Cost Collars

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 2016 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.

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., Paneles Arauco S.A. (previously Aserraderos Arauco S.A., Paneles Arauco S.A. and Arauco Distribución S.A.) Forestal Arauco S.A., Arauco Argentina S.A. and Arauco do Brasil S.A. as well as domestic sales 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., Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A, Paneles Arauco S.A (previously Aserraderos Arauco S.A., Paneles Arauco S.A. and Arauco Distribución S.A.), Arauco Forestal Arapoti S.A., Arauco Forest Brasil 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). 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, 2016 the total amount of guarantees given was U.S.$ 100.11 million 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 custody 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, 2016, of the trade receivables balance of ThU.S.$566,894 that had agreed term of sales, 59.83% corresponded to credit sales, 34.35% to sales with letters of credit and 5.82% to other classes of sales, distributed among 2,354 customers. The customer with the largest open account outstanding did not exceed 2.89% 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.

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. The approval or rejection of credit limits for all forward sales is carried out by credit and collection departments of Arauco Wood Inc, Arauco Panels USA LLC, Flakeboard Company Ltd., Flakeboard America ltd., Arauco Argentina S.A., Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., Paneles Arauco S.A., Arauco Forestal Arapoti, Arauco Forest Brasil S.a. and Arauco do Brasil S.A. that report to the Finance Corporate Management. The rules and procedures for the proper control and administration of risk on credit sales are set forth in the 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 automatically 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.

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 into which the Arauco companies, in particular Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion S.A., are authorized to invest. 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 dealers of mutual funds that are bank affiliates), 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.

23.10.2 Type of Risk: 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The tables have been drawn up based on the contractual undiscounted cash outflows and their remaining contractual maturities:

23.10.3 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 as of the date of these financial statements. 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 +/- 3.57% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/- 9.3), and +/- 0.09% of equity (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/- 5.6).

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 as of the date of these financial statements. 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 +/- 0.29% (equivalent to ThU.S.$787) and a change on the equity of +/- 0.007% (equivalent to ThU.S.$472).

23.10.4 Type of Risk: 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, 2016, 14% our financial debt accrues interest at variable rates. A change of +/- 10% in the interest rate is considered a possible range of fluctuation. Such market conditions would affect the income after tax at rate of +/- 0.73% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 1.9) and +/- 0.02% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 1.2) on equity.

23.10.5 Type of Risk: 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, 2016, revenue due to pulp sales accounted for 45.4% 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 9.30% (equivalent to MU.S.$ 112.1), on the income after tax and +/- 24.62% (equivalent to MU.S.$88.0) and +/- 0.81% (equivalent to MU.S.$52.8) on equity.

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 June 30, 2016 and 2015 in order to determine the provision of 40% of the distributable net income for each year:

OVERVIEW

  

Arauco’s second quarter regained strength, with revenues improving 5.3% to U.S.$ 1,207.3 million. Our Adjusted EBITDA also recovered 12.1%, reaching U.S.$ 283.4 million.

In general, price adjustments in the pulp business reached a plateau in most markets, and many markets even bounced back with China leading the way. Annual maintenance stoppage season began in the Northern hemisphere, helping to release pressure off some markets with surplus. For the second half of the year, world economic growth is expected to accelerate or at the very least settle after Brexit.

Boost from our panels business also increased revenues during this quarter, with plywood significantly improving its performance. Sonae – Arauco, a joint venture with Portuguese company Sonae Industria, was materialized, making Arauco the second largest panel producer worldwide.

Our Free Cash Flow was negative U.S.$ 110.8 million, largely explained by the €137.5 million payment for the Sonae—Arauco deal, as well as dividend payments for U.S.$ 100.3 million. This in turn increased our Net Debt by U.S.$ 157.7 million. Compared with the previous quarter, our cash from operations increased by U.S.$ 32.2 million and Cash used in financing activities net of proceeds and repayments by U.S.$ 99.5 million increased likewise. Our leverage increased to 3.4 times during this quarter, mainly due to our decreased cash position.

Revenues reached U.S.$ 1,207.3 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared with the U.S.$ 1,146.0 million in the previous quarter, thanks to an improvement in our revenues from the pulp, wood products, and forestry businesses. Our wood products segments increased its participation of our total sales. Revenue from our energy sales also increased 27.4% compared to the last quarter. Average prices in our pulp business decreased 2.7% compared to last quarter, while sales volume increased 4.6%. In our wood products business, average prices increased 3.3% compared to last quarter, and sales volume increased 3.8%.

Cost of sales for the second quarter of the year reached U.S.$ 874.6 million, U.S.$ 48.1 million or 5.8% higher than the U.S.$ 826.5 million obtained in the first quarter of 2016. This increase is in line with the increases in our sales volume. In terms of cost by concept, the main increase in absolute terms was forestry labor costs. This increase reflects the change in weather conditions during the winter season that causes forestry road maintenances to be more frequent during this time of year, and increases harvesting costs. Maintenance costs increased by U.S.$ 9.0 million, due to the two-month planned maintenance stoppage at our Constitución Mill. The Montes del Plata Pulp Mill in Uruguay also had a maintenance stoppage during the month of April. Both mill stoppages went according to plan. Other raw materials and indirect costs declined when we compare to the first quarter of the year, mainly due to inventory adjustments.

Administrative expenses overall increased by 23.4% or U.S.$ 26.4 million. Almost half of this increase is a result of higher expenses in wages, salaries and severance indemnities. Last quarter there was an adjustment on the provision for performance bonuses, which decreased last quarter’s expense in this item. The implementation of SAP in Arauco North America also brought forth some minor reclassification from items classified as cost of sales to administritative expenses. Among other things, yearly computer license expenses were disbursed during the month of April, increasing computer service expenses by U.S.$ 5.0 million.

Other income rose 6.4% or U.S.$ 3.7 million this quarter. Gains on sales of assets had increased by U.S.$ 4.4 million compared to last quarter, due to several minor sales of land in Chile, sale of equipment, and the sale of water rights. This increase was slightly offset by Gains from changes in fair value of biological assets, which decreased U.S.$ 2.1 million during this period.

Other expenses fell overall 37.1% or U.S.$ 7.6 million. This result is mainly due to the effect last quarter of the sale of our subsidiary Stora Enso Arapoti Indústria de Papel S.A. in Brazil, of which Arauco owned 20%.

Foreign exchange differences showed a loss of U.S.$ 0.2 million, a U.S.$ 1.3 million difference when compared to the previous quarter that ended at U.S.$ 1.1 million. Although volatility in the economic market affected currency exchange rates throughout the quarter, exchange rates finished around the same levels as the beginning of this quarter. The Chilean peso appreciated 1.5% against the U.S. dollar, while the Argentine preso also appreciated by 3.0%. On the other hand, the Brazilian real depreciated throughout this quarter, deteriorating 9.7% in value against the U.S. dollar, which in turn negatively affected our U.S. dollar-denominated debt in that country.

ADJUSTED EBITDA

  

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2016 was U.S.$ 283.4 million, 12.1% or U.S.$ 30.6 million higher than the US$ 252.8 million reached during the previous quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2016 was lower by 17.5% or U.S.$ 60.0 million when compared with the U.S.$ 343.3 million reached in the same period of 2015. In terms of Adjusted EBITDA by business, during the second quarter we had an upsurge from our wood division of 39.1% compared to last quarter. Our forestry division maintained stable sales, improving 1.8%. These effects were partially offset by our pulp division, which sustained a 4.2% decrease.

FORESTRY BUSINESS

  

The Adjusted EBITDA for our forestry business reached U.S.$ 72.9 million during this quarter, which translates to a 1.8% or U.S.$ 1.3 million increase compared to the previous quarter.

During the second quarter, our forestry production was 5.6 million m3, a 7.7% increase compared to the 5.2 million m3 produced in the previous quarter. Sales volume also increased by 6.8% from 7.2 million m3 to 7.7 million m3. This increase is mainly due to higher sales volume of pulp and wood products, which in turn led to higher internal demand for wood.

After the price adjustment during the first quarter of this year, especially in short fiber, prices reached a plateau in most markets and even regained some price strength in others. The short fiber market is still undergoing pressure, although there are signs that these are subsiding. In terms of region, Western Europe has had the slowest recovery rate. Worldwide inventory levels decreased by two days in long fiber and five days in short fiber. Paper producers looking to recover inventory levels as well as mill stoppages during the spring season in the Northern Hemisphere supported some price upsurges this quarter. Counteracting these factors are the incoming volume from new pulp mills coming into play during the first quarter of the year.

 

Asia was the leader in price recovery this quarter, with long fiber and short fiber prices up by U.S.$ 20 each, which translated to a 3% and 4% gain, respectively. Annual maintenance stoppage season helped long fiber prices along, while short fiber prices were boosted thanks to paper producers seeking to recover inventory levels. The price gap of approximately U.S.$ 110 (with short fiber on the lower end) also favored the substitution of long fiber to short fiber. Despite this optimism, price gains remain fragile and could be neutralized by the upcoming paper demand low season. Asian countries continue to follow Chinese price trends. Looking for better and more stable returns, many producers of unbleached long fiber pulp have started to produce larger quantities aimed for the niche market of fiber cement. This move has driven overall prices in this type of fiber downwards.

 

In Europe, paper producers foresee less demand in the upcoming summer months, and have therefore controlled their inventory levels, making price hikes harder to achieve. Supply-demand imbalances continue to impact these

markets, although there could be more breathing room after many producers begin their maintenance stoppages. Prices remained stable during this quarter, with short fiber maintaining the same price levels as last quarter, and long fiber picking up 2% or U.S.$ 10. Inventory levels at European ports continue to be above normal levels, leading many producers to redirect volumes to other geographic areas.

In other markets, such as the Middle East, price increases were limited, reaching U.S.$ 10 in both fibers. Latin American demand growth has slowed down, while supply has increased from new pulp mills in Brazil, which commercialize long fiber, short fiber and fluff in the local market.

Our production levels were according to plan, decreasing due to maintenance stoppages in our Constitución Mill and Montes del Plata Mill. The maintenance stoppage of our Constitución Mill lasted two months, where the recovery boiler was modernized and preventative maintenance was performed, among other things. The Montes del Plata stoppage lasted for two weeks.

This quarter’s surge in sales by 7.3% was largely propelled by sales in the panels market. In sawn timber, prices have improved slightly but have yet to affect our bottom line. The impact of these price increases will most likely be seen come next quarter.

 

The panels market experienced an overall increase in sales volume during this quarter. In North America, the MDF market has been pressured as more supply has entered the market, although the temporary closing of a mill due to fire has enabled the market to recover. Arauco North America even had to import MDF from Brazil, Argentina, and Chile in order to meet sales requirements. Demand for laminated flooring and particleboard have also lifted sales in the Northern hemisphere. In Brazil, sales volume has improved in MDF, reaching a 7.8% growth in sales volume compared to the same quarter of last year. Counteracting this growth is the depreciation of the real, which affects the bottom line of our exports in U.S. dollar terms from this country. Particleboard regained momentum during April and May, showing price improvements. Colombia has been affected by the lack of ground transportation due to trucker strikes in that nation. Despite less sales activity in the rest of Latin America, Arauco has been able to meet planned sales volume, and has even been able to increase prices in some countries.

 

Sawn timber markets were greatly affected during the last quarter and are still in the recovery stage. Pine moldings sales volume has increased in North America despite oversupply. On the other side of the world, wood products used for packaging have shown strength in the Asian and Middle Eastern markets. New competition in the Middle East has stimulated demand for our products. A new shipping contract for this region should come into force at year-end, which will raise margins. Plywood has improved prices and sales volume in Europe, Latin America and North America, even recovering market share in the latter. The uplift in North American prices could be vulnerable to new supply coming from South America.

During this quarter, capital expenditures increased by U.S.$ 171.2 million or 170.3% compared to the first quarter of 2016. The cash disbursement of € 137.5 million for the joint venture with Portuguese company Sonae Industria, which translated to U.S.$ 153.1 million, was made during the end of May of this year. In Arauco North America, our particleboard facility in Bennettsville, South Carolina underwent an expansion, increasing its capacity by 100,000 m3, which cost approximately U.S.$ 21.3 million. There was also a lamination line installed within the same facility for U.S.$ 10.5 million. The new water effluent treatment system also disbursed cash payments of U.S.$ 11.7 million during this quarter, compared to the U.S.$ 4.1 million it disbursed during last quarter. The maintenance stoppage at the Constitución Mill during this quarter cost a total of approximately U.S.$ 43.0 million. The new pulp mill in Grayling, Michigan has also begun with preliminary investments, totaling U.S.$ 2.8 million this quarter. The remaining CAPEX pertains to sustaining business investments.

FREE CASH FLOW

  

Despite the U.S.$ 30.6 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA, during the second quarter our Free Cash Flow was negative by U.S.$ 110.8 million. CAPEX this quarter included the € 137.5 million cash payment used to acquire our part of the joint venture Sonae—Arauco, plus other minor expansion projects in the United States that totaled nearly U.S.$ 32 million. On the other hand, in May we paid the balance of 2015’s dividends which totaled U.S.$100.3 million. The overall effect of this negative Free Cash Flow was an increase in our net financial debt leverage from 3.1x to 3.4x.

SECOND QUARTER AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND NEWS

  

Sonae – Arauco joint venture completed

On May 31, 2016, Arauco completed a share agreement for the purchase of 50% of Spanish company Tafisa, a subsidiary of Sonae Industria. This agreement marks the beginning of Arauco’s production operations in Europe and South Africa under the company name Sonae—Arauco. The investment of approximately U.S.$ 153.1 million includes 12 production facilities in Spain, Portugal, Germany and South Africa. These facilities currently produce MDF, particleboard panels, OSB, and sawn timber. Total panel production capacity of Sonae – Arauco is 4.2 million m3, which combined with the rest of our company’s assets positions Arauco as the second largest panel producer globally, reaching a capacity of 9.0 million m3 annually.

Carolina Particleboard Mill expansion complete

Our Carolina Particleboard Mill, located in Bennettsville, South Carolina, increased its particleboard and TFL capacity. The particleboard expansion increased its capacity by 100,000 m3 annually through a new drying area, improving the plant’s flexibility to source a broader range of raw material. To complement this newfound capacity, a new state-of-the-art fast-cycle press was added within this facility, which doubles the mill’s output of thermally fused laminate panels. This project reached full acceptance in June 2016. These two projects will enable faster changeover capabilities in order to meet our client’s demands, as well as deliver better-quality products.

Constitución Mill successfully finishes programmed maintenance stoppage

The programmed maintenance stoppage for our Constitución Mill started on May 3 and ended on June 29, lasting the planned 57 days. Total investment was U.S.$ 43.0 million, composed of U.S.$ 29.0 million in investment projects and U.S.$ 14.0 million in programmed maintenance projects. Works included the renovation of the recovery boiler, as well as the upgrade of electrostatic precipators within this recovery boiler in order to reduce emissions from 100 mg/m3 to 35 mg/m3. These renovations increased Constitución Mill’s life by another 25 years.

Campus Arauco inaugurated in Chile

Campus Arauco, product of an alliance between Duoc UC and Arauco, was inaugurated in July of this year in the Southern commune of Arauco, Chile. The education center enables students to learn with more hands-on experience, offering technical majors in Electricity and Industrial automation; Electric Mechanical Maintenance, with a major in Industry; Risk Prevention; and Financial Management. The center covers more than 2,500 square meters, with seven classrooms, three workshops for industrial assembly and maintenance, welding and testing, as well as four computer and hydraulic labs, among others. Total investment from Arauco was U.S.$ 8.5 million.
