Message from the CEO

 

 

2018 is now formally gone, though it feels like an era since 2019 started. Global markets remain rather volatile in view of major uncertainties: Chinese growth perspectives and its consequences to global economy; US-China trade war; Brexit; oil prices; among many others. Meanwhile, Brazil has a new government in place with fully appointed team and public statements committing to passing social security reform and to a more liberal agenda that includes economic opening, global trade, privatizations and tax reduction. GDP growth forecasts hover around 2.5%. Unemployment reversed after months in upward trend. Inflation is under control and interest rates are at record lows compared to recent history.

Against the odds consolidated guidance was met for ninth consecutive year. Comgás, Moove and Rumo reached high end of respective guidance. Rumo’s hauling capacity increased 13% and rising operational efficiency enabled catching up lost working days caused by trucker’s strike. Gas sales volume grew above GDP across all segments while Comgás becomes more efficient every year. Fuels distribution business environment is back to normality following losses caused by the strike itself and complex political environment thereafter. If we were to adjust our numbers (and we still expect to be compensated for losses), Raízen Combustíveis would have delivered top of the EBITDA guidance despite all challenges. Moove also delivered volume growth across all geographies resulting in 36% yearly EBITDA expansion. Climate reduced Brazilian sugar production but boosted India output. For the first time ever, we faced production drop and depressed sugar prices in the same crop year at Raízen Energia. Focus and consistency do pay off.

We keep on walking the capital allocation talk and high conviction in the value of our portfolio. After buying almost R$ 700 million worth of CSAN3 shares early in the year, CZZ tendered USD110 million shares last December, with no impact on daily liquidity thereafter. We announced the sale of 30% of Moove to CVC fund at R$ 2 billion enterprise value, preparing the company for future expansion. Cosan S.A. announced a voluntary tender offer for Comgás PN shares. We cannot think of a better capital allocation option other than buying our own shares.

Here we are, ready for the opportunities that lie ahead.

Marcos Marinho Lutz

CZZ’s CEO

Executive Summary 4Q18 and 2018

 

 

Cosan S.A. (CSAN3):

The proforma adjusted EBITDA of Cosan S/A was R$1.5 billion (+23%) in 4Q18 and R$5.0 billion (-2%) in 2018, delivering on guidance. Adjusted net income stood at R$730 million in 4Q18, reflecting the improved operating results and the positive non-cash effect of foreign exchange variation on the unhedged portion of the perpetual bond. In 2018, adjusted net income totaled R$1.3 billion (+36%). The Company posted negative free cash flow to equity (FCFE) in 4Q18, due to the payment of second installment of the acquisition of Raízen Argentina’s downstream assets as well as disbursement of the last installment of the acquisition of shareholding interest in Comgás deriving from the put option exercised by Shell in 2017, partially offset by improved operating cash generation. In 2018, proforma free cash flow to equity (FCFE) totaled R$1.4 billion. Leverage (net debt/proforma EBITDA, normalized by the Regulatory Current Account of Comgás) ended the year at 2.1x.

Raízen Combustíveis

RC Brazil: Adjusted EBITDA reached R$817 million in 4Q18 and R$2.8 billion (-6%) in 2018, in line with the previously announced guidance. The year was particularly challenging for the distribution industry due to the truckers’ strike and high volatility of international prices in a market pressured by weak economic indicators (for instance, unemployment and consumer confidence index). Business environment required additional effort to optimize supply and commercialization strategy, while maintaining focus on sustainable relationship with retailers. However, fuel sales have been improving gradually. Total sales volume in 4Q18 was 4% higher than it was in 4Q17 and 2018 ended with a 2% growth, the highlights being diesel and aviation fuel.

RC Argentina: EBITDA from the refining and distribution of fuel and other byproducts in Argentina totaled US$22 million (R$82 million) in 4Q18. Nationwide economic instability throughout the year affected demand for fuels, resulting in a 10% reduction in gasoline and diesel volumes in 4Q18. The steep decrease in oil prices towards the end of 2018 had negative impact on both oil and oil products’ inventories. In addition, Raízen’s operations were affected by a scheduled downtime in one of the refinery’s plants. Total volume processed was 75.5 barrels/day, implying capacity utilization ratio of 75% in the refinery.

4th Quarter and Fiscal Year of 2018

 

 

Raízen Energia: Adjusted EBITDA in 4Q18, the third quarter of the 2018/19 crop year, was R$835 million (-6%), due to lower realized sugar prices and a decrease in sugar volumes sold (-46%), in line with the commercialization strategy established for the crop year. The crop year crushing ended in December, reaching 60 million tons (-2%). The year’s dry climate affected sugar-equivalent production, which was 14% weaker. Agricultural productivity measured in TRS kilograms per hectare) was 7% lower compared to 4Q17. Ethanol production reached record levels, focused on the product’s higher profitability, ending the crop period with 53% ethanol in the mix (versus 45% in 9M17/18).

Comgás: Normalized EBITDA reached R$465 million (+12%) in 4Q18, excluding the positive accounting effect of the conclusion of legal disputes (R$716 million). Normalized adjusted EBITDA totaled R$1.9 billion (+12%) in 2018. The better recurring result was driven by the increase in sales volume in all segments (+6%), both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year, as well as by operational efficiencies. In the industrial segment, the higher volume sold reflects commercial negotiations and moderate recovery of industrial activity. The connection of 113,000 new clients over the past 12 months boosted consumption in the residential segment. The commercial segment’s expansion was due to the gradual uptake in economic activity and addition of about 1,000 new clients to the base in the last year.

Moove: EBITDA amounted to R$61 million (+79%) in the quarter and R$237 million (+36%) in 2018, driven by higher volume sold, the expansion of international operations and operational synergies, as well as the improved mix of products sold.

Cosan Logística S.A. (RLOG3):

In 2018, Cosan Logística reached an adjusted EBITDA of R$3.2 billion, 17.6% higher than in 2017. In 4Q18, adjusted EBITDA grew by 9% to R$795 million. This result reflects higher volumes transported and greater cost efficiency in Rumo’s operations.

Rumo: Investments continue to increase capacity availability, enabling 13.4% increase of transported volumes in 2018, offsetting lost volumes due to truckers’ strike last May. Grain volumes in November and December were quite strong, as producers shipped remaining corn production to ensure capacity availability for anticipated 2019 soybean crop in coming months Transported volumes increased 12% during 4Q18, reaching 14.9 billion RTK, combining higher agricultural and industrial products with ramp up of fertilizers transportation in Northern Operations. Rumo increased volumes transported to Santos Port by 10%, maintain 53% market share. Agroconsult estimates higher grains production in 2019 in Brazil and Mato Grosso state. Corn production is expected to grow 18% in Brazil and 9% in Mato Grosso state—where most of Rumo’s transported volumes are originated, offsetting 2% reduction in soybean production in Brazil, due sub-optimal planting conditions.

Rumo EBITDA reached R$ 3.2 billion (+17.6%) in 2018 and R$ 796 million (+9%) in 4Q18. Variable costs grew again below volume expansion, with reduction in fuel consumption (liters/TKB:-7.1%), while fixed costs remain almost constant in real terms, allowing an increase of 2.9 p.p. of EBITDA margin (49.2%) over 2017. Yet another evidence of successful turnaround, net profit reached R$273 million in 2018, reverting previous years’ losses, as financial expenses were down 27.4% compared to previous year. Moreover, cash generation (before debt raising/amortization) totaled R$ 64 million and net debt/EBITDA reduced further to 2.2x by YE18.

Independent Auditor’s Report on the consolidated financial statements

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Cosan Limited

Bermuda

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Cosan Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2018, the statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, as well as the corresponding notes, comprising the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cosan Limited as at December 31, 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in section “Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements” of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements included in the Accountant Professional Code of Ethics (“Código de Ética Profissional do Contador”) and in the professional standards issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (“Conselho Federal de Contabilidade”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Disclosure of the effects of the initial adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases

See Note 25.1 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

The key audit matter

  

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Company´s subsidiary Rumo S.A. (Rumo) maintain significant commitments arising from lease contracts that are within the scope of IFRS 16 - Leases. This new standard, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1st, 2019, introduced complex accounting aspects for the measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities, especially with respect to determining the discount rates of lease agreements.

 

In measuring and accounting of the right-of-use asset, as well as the lease liability, the Company´s subsidiary Rumo used complex assumptions and judgments, especially in relation to the discount rate of the lease contract.

 

Pursuant to IAS 8 - Accounting policies, errors and estimates, the Company´s subsidiary Rumo made the disclosure related to the potential impacts arising from the transition to the new standards based on the existing contracts as at December 31, 2018, among others information required by these standards.

 

Due to the complexity and judgments involved in determining the discount rates on the lessee’s loan and the relevance of the impacts of this rate on the measurement of the lease liability, as well as the relevance of the disclosures of the effects of the initial adoption of IFRS 16, this matter was considered significant for our audit.

  

We evaluated the process and controls implemented by the Company´s subsidiary Rumo to capture the information needed to disclose the potential impact of applying the new standards and other information required by accounting standards. With the assistance of our corporate finance specialists, we evaluate the assumptions used in determining the discount rates. We also evaluated the judgments applied by Company´s subsidiary Rumo for the other assumptions used as lease term and aggregate costs to the estimated value of the right of use asset. We evaluated the disclosures and performed tests on the lease contracts basis used to support the disclosed amounts.

 

Based on the evidence obtained from the procedures described above, we considered that the effects of the initial adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases and the respective disclosures are acceptable in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Unbilled revenue

See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

The key audit matter

  

How the matter was addressed in our audit

On a monthly basis, the Company´s subsidiary Companhia de Gás de São Paulo (Comgás) recognizes revenue from gas sales operations based on the measurement of its customers’ consumption. This consumption measurement and its billing occurs in monthly cycles whose dates may differ from the monthly accounting closing dates.

 

Unbilled revenue is recognized for that interval of time between the date of the last measurement and the end of the month based on an estimate that takes into account the volume of gas consumed per customer segment and its measurement based on the different applicable tariffs for each segment.

 

The balance of unbilled revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 is R$ 430,596.

 

Due to the relevance of the unbilled revenue balance and the judgment to estimate the allocation of the gas volume among the customer segments during the interval of time between the date of the last measurement and the end of the month, this matter was considered significant for our audit.

  

We evaluated the key controls for allocating the gas volume between customer segments during the interval of time between the date of the last measurement and the end of the month.

We performed, among others, the following procedures:

 

i.   Vouching test, based on sampling, of the information that was used by the Company´s subsidiary as the basis for allocating the gas volume per customer segment.

 

ii.  Recalculation of unbilled revenue by customer segment, including evaluation of the key assumptions used.

 

iii.   Independent estimate of the allocation of the gas volume per customer segments considering the historical consumption at the end of the year and comparison to the estimated volume per segment calculated by the Company´s subsidiary.

 

iv.   Comparison of the tariffs used for valuation of revenue per customer segment, with the tariffs determined by the regulatory agency.

 

v.  Comparison of the average consumption assumption estimated by the Company´s subsidiary with the actual average consumption referring to the billing of the subsequent cycle occurred in January 2019.

 

vi.   Reconciliation of unbilled revenue balance with accounting records.

 

We have also considered if the disclosures made in the financial statements included the relevant aspects required by the applicable financial reporting frameworks.

 

Based on the evidence obtained through the procedures summarized above, we considered that the unbilled revenue balance is acceptable in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Recoverability of deferred taxes assets

See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

The key audit matter

  

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Company’s subsidiaries Cosan Lubrificantes e Especialidades S.A. and Rumo S.A. recognized deferred taxes assets related to temporary differences and tax loss carry-forward, which are considered recoverable based on the generation of future taxable profits.

 

The estimated availability of future taxable profits requires judgment for the projections and interpretation of tax laws. The recoverable amount of the deferred taxes assets recognized may vary significantly if different assumptions are applied to the projection of future taxable profits and to the capacity to use tax loss carry-forward, which may impact the deferred tax asset recognized in the consolidated financial statements and at the effective tax rate of the period and the corresponding disclosures. For these reasons, this matter was considered significant for our audit.

  

We evaluated the key internal controls related to the preparation and review of the projection of future taxable profits, specifically the business plan and budget. We compared the budget approved for the previous year with the actual results incurred in order to confirm the reliability of the projections of future results. With the assistance of our corporate finance specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the main assumptions used to support the projection of future taxable profits, including growth and discount rates. Additionally, with the assistance of our tax specialists, we considered the appropriateness of the applying tax laws and tax deductions in calculating the deferred taxes. We also assessed whether the projections indicated sufficient future taxable profits against which the tax loss carry-forward and deductible temporary differences could be used, as well as the adequacy of the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Based on the evidence obtained from the procedures described above, we considered that the amount of deferred taxes assets and the corresponding disclosures are acceptable in the context of the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Equity method on jointly-controlled entity

See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

The key audit matter

  

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Company has an indirect interest in the jointly-controlled entity Raízen Energia S.A., which operates in the production and trade of sugar, ethanol and cogeneration of energy, mainly produced from sugarcane bagasse. Due to the segment in which it operates, the valuation of biological assets is subject to a significant judgment involving: estimated harvest area, productivity forecast, discount rates, quantity and projected prices. Due to the relevance of the investment in Raízen Energia S.A. and due to the degree of judgment and estimates used in the valuation of biological assets, this matter was considered significant for our audit.   

We planned and communicated the scope of our work, discussed the risks of material misstatement and sent instructions to the auditors of the jointly-controlled entity. We held meetings with the auditors responsible for the jointly-controlled entity, and evaluated the work performed on the valuation of biological assets, the audit evidence obtained and the documentation of the experts involved in the audit of the jointly-controlled entity. We have analyzed the communications and reports submitted by the jointly-controlled entity’s auditor, as well as the procedures performed and the conclusions reached, specifically the determination of materiality, the effect of uncorrected misstatements and audit procedures performed to address the risks. We also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements.

 

As a result of the evidence obtained from the procedures described above we considered the balance of investment in joint-controlled entity and the amount of the equity pick-up recognized by the Company acceptable in the context of the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Other information accompanying the consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report

Management is responsible for the other information comprising the management report.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

 

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

 

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

 

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Operations

Cosan Limited (“Cosan”) was incorporated in Bermuda on April 30, 2007. Cosan’s class A common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or “NYSE,” (ticker—CZZ). Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello is the ultimate controlling shareholder of Cosan. Cosan controls its subsidiaries Cosan S.A. and Cosan Logística S.A. (“Cosan Logística”) through a 60.25% and 72.50% interest, respectively. Cosan, Cosan S.A., Cosan Logística and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

In November 2016, Cosan S.A. and Shell International Petroleum Company Limited (“Shell”) executed amendments to certain agreements between them to remove the fixed date call options over Raízen Energia S.A. (“Raízen Energia”) and Raízen Combustíveis (“Raízen Combustíveis”) or the “Joint Ventures,” shares exercisable in 2021 and 2026, and replace them with certain call and put options exercisable by Shell or Cosan S.A. upon the occurrence of certain events including, among others: (i) fundamental breaches of the obligations provided for in the agreements governing the Joint Venture; (ii) breach of anticorruption laws, (iii) insolvency or bankruptcy of a party, (iv) change of control, and (v) in the event of the death or disability of Cosan S.A.’s current Chairman, Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello. Moreover, Cosan S.A. and Shell agreed to renew the existing lock-up period for five years from the date of the execution of the amendment, following which the parties may sell their shares in each of Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustíveis subject to compliance with certain preemption rights in each other’s favor.

On February 23, 2017, TPG VI Fundo de Investimento em Participações (“TPG”), a shareholder of Rumo, exercised its right to exchange 11,479,987 shares issued by Rumo for shares issued by Cosan S.A. pursuant to the shareholders’ agreement entered into in 2010, subsequently added, between Cosan Logística, TPG, GIF, Cosan S.A. and the Company. Cosan S.A. and GIF agreed to settle financially the stock replacement obligation through of payment of R$ 275,780 and the shares received were valued at fair value in the amount of R$ 97,924 and recorded as capital reserve.

On October 16, 2017, Shell Gas B.V., Integral Investments B.V. and Shell Brazil Holding B.V. (“Shell Brazil”) exercised their put option on the shares issued by Comgás S.A. against Cosan S.A., which transferred its 16.77% of Comgás S.A share capital to Cosan S.A and received from Cosan 17,187,937 shares issued by Cosan S.A. (4.21% share capital).

On December 21, 2017, there was a sale of credit rights related to the assets recorded in the statement of financial position and also the contingent assets in the amount of R$ 1,340,000 (“purchase price”), arising from certain lawsuits, aiming at condemning the Union as a result of the fixing of sugar and alcohol prices below their cost of production. The amount was received on January 31, 2018, as shown at statement of cash flows.

On March 19, 2018, the subsidiary CLE entered into an agreement with Exxon Mobil which grants the exclusive production, import, distribution and marketing rights in Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay of lubricants and certain other related products under the Mobil brand until November 30, 2038.

On April 19, 2018, the Company submitted to the São Paulo Stock, Commodities and Futures Exchange (B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão), or “B3,” a proposal relating to the discontinuation of our BDR program pursuant to the procedure set forth in the B3’s Issuer Guide (Manual do Emissor). Once completed, we will take the requisite steps to complete our deregistration with the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários), or “CVM,” and the delisting of our BDRs from the B3. The discontinuation of our BDR program is intended to reduce our regulatory costs and concentrate liquidity of the Company’s stock on the NYSE.

On April 20, 2018, the General Meeting approved the merger of Brado Holding S.A., Rumo Malha Norte Holding Ltda. and Tezza Consultoria de Negócios Ltda. by “Rumo”, so that the merged companies will be extinguished and “Rumo” will succeed the merged ones.

On June 30, 2018, the contingent consideration regarding the acquisition of Stanbridge Group Limited (“Stanbridge”) in November 2017 by the subsidiary Moove Lubricants Limited (“Moove Lubricants”) – previously called as “Comma Oil Chemicals Limited,” was increased by R$ 31,726 (Note 10.2), due to the fulfillment of certain contractual conditions that resulted in an adjustment to the acquisition accounting.

Additionally, part of the purchase price was allocated in “Customer Relationship” at the amount of R$ 136,499 (Note 10.2).

On August 7, 2018 BNDES approved financing in the amount of R$ 2,887,298, for the subsidiary Rumo S.A., to support investments in the concession of rail freight transportation. On December 27, 2018, the amount of R$ 799,999 was raised.

At December 20, 2018, Cosan through its subsidiary CLI, acquired control of the company Commercial Lubricants, LLC (d/b/a Metrolube) (“Metrolube”), in the preliminary amount of R$ 112,858, generating an additional goodwill in the Lubricants segment of R$ 67,548. The transferred consideration, net of cash received, totaled R$ 112,858.

On December 21, 2018, the subsidiary CLI and CVC Fund VII (“CVC”) entered into an investment agreement in which there will be a contribution of R$ 562,000 through the issuance of new common shares representing approximately 30% of Moove’s capital. Of the total capital increase, Moove will receive R$ 434,000 on the closing of the transaction and up to approximately R$ 128,000 until 2021, if certain targets defined in the Investment Agreement are met, without any change in the ownership interest. The conclusion of the transaction will be subject to the conditions precedent, including regulatory approvals, corporate restructuring and applicable bids.

As announced to the market, on August 2, 2018, the Civil Police of the State of Paraná launched on July 31, 2018, the Operation “Controlled Margin,” with the objective of collecting statements and obtaining documents from employees of fuel distributors operating in Paraná, including Raízen Combustíveis, on suspicion of possible practices to control the final price of fuel sold at retailers located in that region. On the same date, search and seizure warrants were executed and three of Raízen’s employees were temporarily arrested and on August 3, 2018, the court determined the release of them. To this moment, in view of the existing information, no irregular conduct may be attributed to Raízen or its employees. No complaints were filed against any employees of Raízen, and no court order was issued determining the freeze of any assets or funds in its bank accounts.

In addition, also on July 31, 2018, in connection with the so-called “Operação Dubai,” the Prosecution Office of the Federal District filed a complaint against, among other parties, Raízen and one employee on the grounds of alleged anticompetitive practice. In this context, the assessment of Raízen Combustíveis, on the basis of the information available, is that the above claims do not find factual and legal support. In an autonomous action and aiming to obtain indemnification for the damages potentially suffered by the civil society due to these conducts, the Prosecution Office filed a redress action in the face of all those involved, which is in the initial stage of the proceedings. There is an application for the blocking of assets and securities against, among others, Raízen Combustíveis, in the amount of R$ 120,000 which was not effected due to guarantees given in court. Both procedures are being defended and appealed to, since Raízen Combustíveis understands that there are no elements that constitute the responsibility of its or its representatives in the investigated practices.

There was no relevant update on this topic since the disclosure of the material fact up to the year ended December 31, 2018.

At the present date there is no definitive decision or material impact on the business.

However, if the operations prove to be true in the future, any penalties may have an effect on the future financial position, profit or loss from operation and cash flows of Raízen Combustíveis. Regarding to the financial statements of Raízen Combustíveis, it is currently not practicable to determine whether there is any probable loss arising from a present obligation in view of a past event or a reasonable measure regarding the possible provision for contingencies on this matter in this financial information, through interest in earnings of joint ventures.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian Reais. However, the functional currency of Cosan Limited is the U.S. Dollar (U.S.$). The Brazilian Real is the functional currency of Cosan S.A., Cosan Logística, its subsidiaries and joint ventures, located in Brazil, as it is the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate, generate and expend cash. The main functional currency for the subsidiaries located outside Brazil is U.S. Dollar, Euro or the Pound Sterling.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of each subsidiary using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate at the reporting date.

The assets and liabilities derived from foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Brazilian Reais using the exchange rates at the reporting date. Income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Brazilian Reais using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency translation are recognized and presented in other comprehensive income (loss) in equity. However, if the foreign operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportion of the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

These consolidated financial statements have been translated to the Brazilian Real using the following criteria:

 

  a)

assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate at the statement of financial position date;

 

  b)

statement of profit or loss, comprehensive income and statement of cash flows have been translated using the monthly average exchange rate; and

 

  c)

shareholders’ equity has been translated using the historical exchange rate.

Translation effects have been recognized in shareholders’ equity in “Foreign currency translation effects.”

The consolidated financial statements of each subsidiary included in these consolidated financial statements and equity method investments are prepared based on their respective functional currencies. For subsidiaries whose functional currency is a currency other than the Brazilian Real, asset and liability accounts are translated into the Company’s reporting currency using exchange rates in effect at the date of the statement of financial position, and income and expense items are translated using monthly average exchange rates and shareholders’ equity has been translated using the historical exchange rate. The resulting translation adjustments are reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity, as cumulative translation adjustment.

Use of judgments and estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses at the end of the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and recognized prospectively. Information about critical judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:

i.    Note 5.10 – Recognized fair value measurements

ii.    Note 9 – Investments in joint ventures

iii.    Notes 10.1 e 10.2 – Property, plant and equipment

iv.    Note 11.1 – Commitments

v.    Note 13 – Income tax

vi.    Note 14 – Provision for legal proceedings

Changes in significant accounting policies

 

  i.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

The Company applied IFRS 9 with the initial application date of January 1, 2018, retrospectively, except as described below:

 

   

The Company has adopted the exception of not re-presenting comparative information from previous periods regarding the classification and measurement requirements (including impairment). Differences in the balances of financial assets and liabilities arising from the adoption of IFRS9 were recorded in retained earnings and reserves on January 1, 2018. Thus, the information presented for 2017 generally does not reflect the requirements of IFRS 9, but the requirements of IAS 39;

 

   

Certain definitions were made based on the facts and circumstances existing at the date of initial application: i) determination of the business model in which a financial asset is held; ii) the designation and revocation of prior designations of certain financial assets and liabilities as measured at fair value through profit or loss; and

 

   

All hedge relationship designations in accordance with IAS 39 existing as of December 31, 2017 meet the hedging criteria in accordance with IFRS 9 as of January 1, 2018 and are therefore designated as continuing hedge relationships.

The total impact on the Company’s financial position as at January 1, 2018 is as follows:

 

Assets

  

Trades receivables

     (10,932

Investments in joint ventures

     (1,340

Deferred tax

     3,584  

Equity

  

Retained earnings

     8,688  

 

  a)

Classification and measurement

The Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs, except those measured at amortized cost for financial assets that are kept within a business model with the objective of obtaining contractual cash flows that meet the ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ on the principal amount outstanding “SPPI criterion.”

Under IFRS 9, debt financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”), amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”).

The classification is based on two criteria: the Company’s business model for managing the assets; and whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent SPPI criterion.

The evaluation of the Company’s business models was carried out from the date of initial application on January 1, 2018 and retrospectively applied to financial assets that were not derecognized before January 1, 2018. The assessment of whether cash flows contractual debt instruments are solely composed of principal and interest were made based on the facts and circumstances as in the initial recognition of the assets. This category includes trade accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables from related parties, other financial assets and dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity receivable. No new measurement of financial assets was carried out.

 

  b)

Impairment

The adoption of IFRS 9 has fundamentally changed the Company’s accounting for impairment losses for financial assets by replacing IAS 39’s incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) approach.

The Company recognizes a provision for expected credit loss for its trade receivable. The simplified standard approach is applied and the expected credit losses for the entire life of the asset are calculated. The Company has established a provisioning matrix that is based on the historical experience of credit loss of each business segment, adjusted for specific prospective factors for the debtors and for the economic environment.

The joint ventures Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustívies adopted an expected loss matrix considering the grouping of customers with similar default characteristics, by sales channel and internal rating. The impact of the adoption of the standard was a loss of R$ 2,680 (R$ 1,340 in the interest in earnings of joint ventures of Cosan S.A.).

 

  c)

Hedge accounting

The Company applied the changes of hedge accounting prospectively. At the date of initial application, all of the Company’s existing hedging relationships were eligible to be treated as continuing hedging relationships. Consistent with previous periods, the Company continued to designate the change in the fair value of the entire forward contract in the Company’s cash flow hedge relationships and, as such, the adoption of the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

According to IAS 39, all gains and losses arising from the Company’s cash flow hedge relationships were eligible to be subsequently reclassified to income. Therefore, after the adoption of IFRS 9, the net cash flow hedge gain or loss was presented under “Other comprehensive income not being reclassified to income.” This amendment applies only prospectively from the date of initial application of IFRS 9 and has no impact on the presentation of comparative figures.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The assets deriving from contracts with clients at CLE, which were previously accounted as ‘intangible assets’ are now booked as ‘assets deriving from contracts with clients,’ presented in the statement of financial position in the ‘Other non-current assets (agreements non-current assets).’

The Company has adopted the retrospective method with cumulative transitional effect. In summary, the following adjustments were made to the amounts recognized in the statement of financial position at the date of initial application:

 

     IAS 18      Reclassification      IFRS 15  

Other non-current assets (agreements non-current assets)

     —          8,346        8,346  

Intangible assets

     8,346        (8,346      —    

Additionally, the subsidiary CLE pays fees to the customer in order to obtain a new contract. In most cases, these payments are associated with a volume acquired by the customer and are not capitalized, being recognized as a cost of sales. On December 31, 2018, the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and costs to fulfil a contract was R$ 73,585. In 2017, such fees were recognized as selling expenses when incurred in the amount of R$ 82,941.

Segment information

The following segment information is used by Cosan’s senior management (the “Chief Operating Decision Maker”) to assess the performance of the operating segments and to make decisions with regards to the allocation of resources. This information is prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements. Cosan evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on the measure of Earnings Before Interest Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”).

Reported segments:

 

  i.

Raízen Energia: production and marketing of a variety of products derived from sugar cane, including raw sugar (VHP), anhydrous and hydrated ethanol, and activities related to energy cogeneration from sugarcane bagasse. In addition, this segment holds interests in companies engaged in research and development on new technology;

 

  ii.

Raízen Combustíveis: distribution and marketing of fuels, mainly through a franchised network of service stations under the Shell brand throughout Brazil and in petroleum refining, fuel distribution, the operation of fuel resellers, the manufacture and sale of automotive and industrial lubricants, and manufacturing and marketing of liquefied petroleum gas throughout Argentina;

 

  iii.

Comgás: distribution of piped natural gas to part of the State of São Paulo to customers in the industrial, residential, commercial, automotive and cogeneration sectors;

 

  iv.

Logistic: logistics services for transport, storage and port loading of commodities, mainly for sugar products, leasing or lending of locomotives, wagons and another railway equipment; and

 

  v.

Moove: Production and distribution of lubricants licensed under the Mobil brand in Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, the United States and European market through the subsidiaries CLE, Stanbridge, TTA, LubrigrupoII, Cosan Lubrificantes S.R.L (“Cosan S.R.L”) and Moove Lubricants under the Comma brand for the European and Asian market and corporate activities (“Moove”).

Reconciliation:

 

  i.

Cosan Corporate: digital wallet platform, other investments, in addition to the corporate activities of the Company. The Cosan Corporate segment includes the subsidiaries responsible for raising funds for the group.

Although, Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustíveis are equity accounted joint ventures and are no longer proportionally consolidated, senior management continues to review segment information. A reconciliation of these segments is presented in the column “Deconsolidation of joint ventures.”

The effect and policy of initially applying IFRS 9 on the Company’s financial instruments is described in Note 3.

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified, and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

 

5.1

Cash and cash equivalents

Accounting policy

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits and highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value.

Marketable securities and restricted cash

Accounting policy

Marketable securities are measured and classified at fair value through profit or loss. Restricted cash are measured and classified at amortized cost, both of them with the average maturity of government bonds between two and five years, however they can be promptly redeemed and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

5.3

Trade receivables

Accounting policy

Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognized at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

To measure the expected credit losses and trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and overdue. The provision allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in selling expense.

The expected loss rates are based on the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates may be adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Company has identified the interest rate implicit in the contract to be the most relevant factor, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in this factor.

Loans, borrowings and debentures

Accounting policy

Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais—R$ unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at fair value through profit or loss, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

 

  i.

the amount of the obligation under the contract; and

 

  ii.

the amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policies.

As at December 31, 2018, the Company and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all debt financial covenants.

 

  d)

Fair value and exposure to financial risk

The fair value of the loans is based on the discounted cash flow using its implicit discount rate. They are classified as a level 2 fair value in the hierarchy (Note 5.10) due to the use of unobservable data, including own credit risk.

The details of the Company’s exposure to risks arising from loans are shown in note 21.

 

5.6

Leases

Accounting policy

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date. The classification of the lease as operational or financial is determined based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the contracts. The Company identified the cases in which it assumes substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the said assets, recording such cases as a financial lease.

 

  a)

Finance lease liabilities

Leases of property, plant and equipment that transfer to the Company substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais—R$ unless otherwise stated)

 

 

A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognized in the Company’s statement of financial position.

 

  b)

Operating leases

Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (Note 18). Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

The amounts paid in advance by the Company are recorded as assets and allocated in income linearly during the term of the contract. The expenses incurred during the grace period are recorded in income and maintained as payables, being written off in proportion to the payment of current installments.

  i.

Contract with Petrobras entered into in January 2008 and due to expire in December 2021 providing for the delivery of 4.22 million m³/day of Brazilian-sourced natural gas (“Firme Nacional”).

 

  ii.

Contract with Petrobras entered into in June 1999 and due to expire in June 2021 providing for the delivery of 8.10 million m³/day of Bolivian-sourced natural gas (“TCQ”).

 

  iii.

Gas contract entered into as part of the Priority Thermoelectric Program (“PTP”) with Petrobras for the supply of 0.3 million m³/day to Ingredion Brasil Ingredientes Industriais Ltda., due to expire on March 31, 2023.

 

  iv.

Contract with Gas Brasiliano entered into in April 2008 and due to expire on March 26, 2019 with a contracted average monthly volume of 0.760 million m³ and contracted annual volume of 9.12 million m³.

The contracts for the supply of natural gas, Firme Nacional and TCQ contracts have prices made up of two components: one indexed to a basket of fuel oils in the international market and readjusted on a quarterly basis; and another adjusted annually based on local and/or U.S. inflation rates. Both contracts are indexed to the U.S. dollar.

Amendments to the Firme Nacional and TCQ contracts came into force on November 14, 2018. These amendments extend that maturities of each of the Firme Nacional and TCQ contracts until December 2021.

The abovementioned amendments required the settlement of an aggregate amount of R$ 995,951 (the portion related to the interest on the principal amount was reversed in the amount the R$ 177,423 in the financial results), a balance in dispute between the parties which was generated from January 2014 to October 2015 as a result of the difference between (i) the price charged in the TCQ gas supply agreement between Comgás and Petrobras and (ii) the price charged in the Firme Nacional contract between Petrobras and Gas Brasiliano. The judicial deposit in the updated gross amount of R$ 396,559 was also was collected (the amount of R$ 101,583 related to the monetary variation on the judicial deposit was recorded in the financial result).

5.8

Preferred shareholders payable in subsidiaries

Accounting policy

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, taking into account the outstanding balance of the initial contribution, increased by interest on the principal, less dividends paid.

On June 27, 2014, the subsidiary Cosan S.A. performed a corporate reorganization and created the subsidiary Cosan Investimentos e Participações S.A. (“CIP”), to optimize its capital structure and improve its debt profile. A contribution of R$ 2,000,000 was received through two non-voting preferred shares—Fundo de Investimentos em Participações Multisetoriais Plus II (“FIP Multisetorial”) and Razac Fundo de Investimentos em Participações (“FIP Razac”). CIP received from Cosan a 50% interest in the joint ventures, Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustíveis, and the commitments contributed were debentures and working capital financing.

The shareholders’ agreement has exit clauses, in which the Company may repurchase these interests and for the reason was recorded a financial liability and amount of R$ 2,000,000 plus interest minus dividends from Joint Ventures considered as repayments.

The Company will be required to pay investors if they exercise the option to sell the investment in 2021.

5.9 Derivative financial instruments

Accounting policy

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company designates certain derivatives as either:

 

  i.

hedges of the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedges); or

 

  ii.

hedges of a particular risk associated with the cash flows of recognized assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

At inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items. The Company documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking its hedge transactions. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in profit or loss and are included in other gains / (losses).

The fair values of derivative financial instruments designated in hedge relationships are disclosed below. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.

The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 60% to 140% (80% — 125% until December 31, 2017).

Recognized fair value measurements

Accounting policy

When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but when this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in determining fair values. Judgment is required in the determination of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in these variables could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the Board.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais—R$ unless otherwise stated)

 

 

The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the treasury assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Company’s policy, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

Significant valuation issues are reported to the Board. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

 

   

Level 1: inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments exchanged in active markets.

 

   

Level 2: inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs (other than Level 1inputs) such as quoted prices for similar financial instruments exchanged in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments exchanged in inactive markets and other market observable inputs. The fair value of the majority of the company’s investments in securities, derivative contracts and bonds.

 

   

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Management is required to use its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs as there is little, if any, market activity in these instruments or related observable inputs that can be corroborated at the measurement date.

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

 

  i.

the use of quoted market prices;

 

  ii.

the fair value is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Estimates of future floating-rate cash flows are based on quoted swap rates, futures prices and interbank borrowing rates. Estimated cash flows are discounted using a yield curve constructed from similar sources and which reflects the relevant benchmark interbank rate used by market participants for this purpose when pricing interest rate swaps. The fair value estimate is subject to a credit risk adjustment that reflects the credit risk of the Company and of the counterparty; this is calculated based on credit spreads derived from current credit default swap or bond prices;

 

  iii.

for other financial instruments we analyze discounted cash flow.

The valuation of the contingent consideration considers the present value of expected payment, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The expected payment is determined by considering the probable scenarios of forecast revenue and EBITDA, the amount to be paid under each scenario and the probability of each scenario. The significant unobservable inputs are the forecast of the annual growth rate of revenue, EBITDA margin forecast and the 13% discount rate adjusted for risk.

  i.

On March 15, 2017, in case that sets a judicial precedent, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) granted Extraordinary Appeal 574,706 against a decision that required the inclusion of ICMS in the calculation of the tax base of PIS and COFINS.

Accordingly, based on the STF’s decision, the subsidiary Comgás and Rumo recognized certain credits deriving from PIS and COFINS contributions in the amount of R$ 188,216 and R$ 11,054, respectively, partially as deductions of revenues and partially as other revenues. For Comgás, PIS and COFINS credits are taken into consideration in the regulator’s accounting system and will be reversed in favor of concession users through tariff revisions or annual readjustments once the decision is final and unappealable pursuant to CSPE Regulation 399/2006 and applicable legislation. In addition to the credits recognized by the STF decision, the subsidiary Comgás has a contingent asset in an amount of approximately R$ 569,000 (taking into account amounts from July 2008) arising from a judicial proceeding which has not yet been decided.

The subsidiary CLE obtained a final and unappealable decision on June 15, 2018 with regards to the period from 2001 onwards as a result of which it recognized an amount of R$ 232,013. Pursuant to a contract between the subsidiaries Cosan S.A. and CLE, the amount of R$ 200,866 accrued between September 2001 and February 2017 is due to Cosan S.A whereas amounts accruing from March 2017 (totalling R$ 31,148) are due to the subsidiary CLE.

In summary, the Company recognized on a consolidated basis the amount of R$ 431,283 (R$ 139,013 recorded as deduction of revenues, R$ 199,027 in other revenues, and R$ 93,243 for the financial result). As this is a transaction with no cash effect, an amount of R$ 338,040 was adjusted in the cash flow as “Recovering tax credits,” and an amount of R$ 93,243 as “Interest, monetary and exchange variations, net.”

Inventories

Accounting policy

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value (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). Cost comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated based on normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory based on weighted average costs.

Appropriate allowance is made for risks associated with holding and selling inventories due to obsolescence. Inventories are written down further when their net realizable value falls below cost.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates

Accounting policy

 

  a)

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition of control and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases to exist. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais—R$ unless otherwise stated)

 

 

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Company’s accounting policies.

All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Company are eliminated in full on consolidation. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are similarly eliminated, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

 

  b)

Associates

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs.

Under the equity method of accounting, the share attributable to the Company of the profit or loss for the period of such investments is accounted for in the statement of profit or loss, in “Equity in investees.” Unrealized gains and losses arising on transactions between the Company and the investees are eliminated based on the percentage of interest held in such investees. The other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities is recorded directly in the Company’s shareholders’ equity, in “Other comprehensive income.”

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are similarly eliminated, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Management has concluded that there are no material uncertainties that cast doubt on the continuity of the subsidiaries. Although they had a combined amount of uncovered liabilities of R$ 75,275 as of December 31, 2018, no events or conditions were identified that individually or collectively could raise significant doubts related to their ability to maintain their operational continuity. The subsidiaries have the financial support of the Company.

Investments in joint ventures

Accounting policy

The Company entered into an agreement to form two joint ventures, accounting for 50% of the economic benefits of the companies.

Cosan holds joint-control of Raízen Combustíveis and Raízen Energia by virtue of its 50% equity interest in both companies and the requirement of unanimous consent of all shareholders on the decisions related to significant activities. Investments were classified as jointly-owned subsidiaries and, therefore, the equity method is used for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill

Accounting policy

The recoverable amount is determined based on calculations of the value in use, using the discounted cash flow determined by Management based on budgets that take into account the assumptions related to each business, using information available in the market and previous performance. Discounted cash flows were drawn up over a ten-year period and carried forward in perpetuity without considering a real growth rate. Management uses periods greater than five years in the preparation of discounted cash flows considering that reflects the estimated time of use of the asset and business groups.

The Company performs annually a review of impairment indicators for intangible assets with defined useful lives and property, plant and equipment. Also, an impairment test is undertaken for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

Assumptions used in discounted cash flow projections—estimates of future business performance, cash generation, long term growth (ten years for all subsidiaries, except for Logistic and Comgás that consider the remaining period of their concession contracts) and discount rates are used in our assessment of impairment of assets at the statement of financial position date. No reasonably plausible changes in a key assumption would cause impairment. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of the different cash generating units to which goodwill is allocated as explained in the Note 10.2.

 

10.1

Property, plant and equipment

Accounting policy

 

  a)

Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date they are available for use or, in respect of constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use.

Depreciation is calculated on the carrying value of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, recognized in profit or loss, unless it is capitalized as part of the cost of another asset. Land is not depreciated.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements

   4% to 5%

Machinery, equipment and facilities

   8% to 11%

Airplanes, vessels and vehicles

   10% to 20%

Railcars

   2.9% to 6%

Locomotives

   3.33% to 8%

Permanent railways

   4%

Furniture and fixtures

   10% to 15%

Computer equipment

   20%

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed annually and adjusted prospectively. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the subsidiary Rumo conducted a useful life review of a group of approximately 200 locomotives allocated to the logistics segment. Locomotives comprise individual components with different useful lives, and the review resulted in a reduction of useful lives of some components to reflect the time that the subsidiary Rumo intends to use those components through its economic life. The new useful life was applied starting from January 1st, 2018.

10.2

Intangible assets and goodwill

Accounting policy

 

  a)

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially recognized based on the accounting policy for business combinations (see Note 1). Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the Company’s CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

 

  b)

Concession rights agreement

The subsidiary Comgás has a public concession agreement for a gas distribution service in which the Concession Authority controls what services will be provided and the price, as well it holds a significant participation in the infrastructure at the end of the concession. This concession agreement represents the right to charge users for gas supply during the term of the agreement. Accordingly, the Company recognizes this right as an intangible asset.

The intangible asset comprises: (i) the concession right recognized upon the business combination of Comgás, which is being amortized over the concession period on a straight line basis, considering the extension of the distribution services for another 20 years; and (ii) the acquired or constructed assets underlying the concession necessary for the distribution of gas, which is being depreciated to match the period over which the future economic benefits of the asset are expected to accrue to the Company, or the final term of the concession, whatever occurs first. This period reflects the economic useful lives of each of the underlying assets that comprise the concession. This economic useful life is also used by the regulator, The Natural Gas Agency of the State of São Paulo, to determine the basis for measuring the tariff for rendering the services under the concession.

The amortization of intangible assets reflects the pattern expected for the utilization of the future economic benefits by the Company, which corresponds to the useful lives of the assets comprising the infrastructure consonant to the São Paulo State Sanitation and Energy Regulatory Agency (“ARSESP”) provisions.

The amortization of the intangible assets is discontinued when the related asset is fully used or written off, and no longer is included in the calculation basis of the tariff for the rendering of the concession services, whichever occurs first.

 

  c)

Customer relationships

Costs incurred on development of gas systems for new clients (including pipelines, valves, and general equipment) are recognized as intangible assets and amortized over the contract period.

 

  d)

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and have a finite life are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

 

  e)

Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  f)

Amortization

Except for goodwill, intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use or acquired.

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

 

  g)

Research costs

Development costs for future products and other internally generated intangible assets are capitalized at cost, provided manufacture of the products is likely to bring the Cosan an economic benefit. If the criteria for recognition as assets are not met, the expenses are recognized in the income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

Capitalized development costs include all direct and indirect costs that are directly attributable to the development process. The costs are amortized using the straight-line method from the start of production over the expected life cycle of the models developed.

Amortization recognized during the year is allocated to the relevant functions in the income statement.

Impairment testing of cash-generating units (“CGU”) goodwill

 

  i.

Cosan Logística

The Subsidiary annually tests the recoverable amounts of goodwill arising from business combination operations. Property, plant and equipment and defined-intangible assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

For the purposes of impairment analysis, the concession contracts were defined as cash-generating units, each registered in an individual company. The basis for evaluation and annual testing is September 30.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we did not identify impairment indicators, so that no impairment test was required for fixed assets and intangible assets with a defined useful life, except for the cash generating unit represented by the Rumo Malha Oeste S.A. concession, which shows negative results and low cash generation.

The recoverable amount for the fixed assets of this cash-generating unit was determined using the discounted cash flow methodology of the cash-generating unit.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais—R$ unless otherwise stated)

 

 

The main assumptions used were (i) EBITDA projected for the cash generating unit, without volume growth transported, within the remaining period of the concession, and (ii) the discount rate (WACC) of 8.28% per annum, before taxes. The calculation resulted in a recoverable amount of R$ 82,995, compared to a book value of R$ 155,443, which includes property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. A provision for impairment of R$ 72,448 was recorded for this cash-generating unit, allocated in proportion to the property, plant and equipment, as a contra-entry to “Other income (expenses) net,” note 19.

The balance of goodwill recorded by the Company is associated with the port loading operation and terminals, so that this cash-generating unit needs to be tested annually.

The recoverable amount of this cash-generating unit was determined by the net sales value of the unit, using the technique of EBITDA multiples, a technique considered level 3 in the hierarchy of fair value estimates.

The determination of the recoverability of the assets depends on certain key assumptions as described above that are influenced by the market, technological, and economic conditions in force at the time this recovery is tested and, therefore, it is not possible to determine whether new losses by recovery will occur in the future and, if they occur, whether these would be material.

 

  ii.

Cosan S.A.

The combined carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each cash-generating unit are as follows:

 

     December 31,
2018
     December 31,
2017
 

Moove cash generating unit

     782,740        751391  

Cosan cash-generating unit other business

     43        43  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Total goodwill

     782,783        751,434  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The recoverable amount is determined based on calculations of the value in use, using the discounted cash flow determined by Management based on budgets that take into account the assumptions related to each business, using information available in the market and previous performance. Discounted cash flows were drawn up over a ten-year period and carried forward in perpetuity without considering a real growth rate. Management understands the use of periods greater than five years in the preparation of discounted cash flows as it reflects the estimated time of use of the asset and business groups.

The main assumptions used mainly consider the expectation of growth of the operations based on the Gross Domestic Product segmented by country, as well as considering the levels of average growth experienced in the last years and other macroeconomic aspects, as well as expectation of the price of sales of commodities, using discount rates that reflect specific business-related risks.

All these future cash flows were discounted at a rate of 9.3% (weighted-average cost of capital) and a growth rate of the final value of 3.75% from 2028 reflecting specific risks related to the relevant assets in its cash generating unit.

An increase of 6.3 percentage points in the discount rate should change so that the estimated recoverable amount is equal to the book value. The U.S. dollar has an impact on projections and, therefore, a fluctuation of in exchange rate would have an effect on the estimate.

As of December 31, 2018, no expense for impairment of assets and goodwill was recognized. The determination of the recoverability of the assets depends on certain key assumptions as described above that are influenced by the market, technological and economic conditions in place at the time that such recovery is tested, and therefore, it is not possible to determine whether new reduction losses of recovery will occur in the future and, if they occur, whether these would be material.

Concessions payable

Accounting policy

Concessions represent arrangements between a public sector grantor and the subsidiary Rumo to operate a rail network consisting of four concessions that extend over approximately 12,000 kilometers of railway lines. Revenue from providing the service is received directly from the customers, through to logistic service.

The concession right generally means that the Rumo has an exclusive right to provide the service under the concession for a given period, after which the infrastructure assigned to the concession and required to provide the service is returned to the concession grantor, generally for no consideration. The concession arrangement must provide for the management or operation of the infrastructure. Another common feature is the existence of obligations to acquire or construct all the items required to provide the concession service over the concession term.

These concessions right is initially recognized with an intangible at cost (see Note 10.2), with cost understood to be the fair value of the service provided plus other direct costs that are directly attributable to the operation. They are then amortized over the duration of the concession.

Court Discussion:

The Company is challenging in court the economic and financial unbalance of certain leases and concession contracts.

In April 2004, Rumo Malha Paulista S.A. (“Rumo Malha Paulista”) filed an interlocutory injunction and subsequently Declaratory Action before the 21st Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro questioning the economic and financial unbalance of the Lease and Concession Agreements, due to the high disbursement incurred by the Company for the payment of labor judicial proceedings and other expenses involved, which are the responsibility of Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A., as provided in the bidding documents.

Rumo Malha Paulista required an injunction to suspend payment of installments due of the concession and lease agreements and to offset the credit balance resulting from labor amounts paid by Rumo with the amount charged by the Brazilian Government. In April 2005, the injunction was granted, suspending the enforceability of installments for 90 days by determining the completion of expertise. In July 2005, the suspension was extended for another 90 days. In September 2005, the injunction was overturned by the Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro. In January 2006, the suspension of payment of installments was granted, by means of judicial deposit. The amount related to the lease payment was deposited in court until October 2007, when the Company obtained a court order to replace the judicial deposits with a bank guarantee. In October 2015, a decision was handed down that partially upheld the action recognizing the occurrence of economic and financial balance of the agreements, allowing the Company to perform the part of compensation of the amounts claimed in the match against presented debt. Nevertheless, the Company believes that all amounts discussed shall be offset against payables based on clauses 7 and 10 of the bidding documents.

Management, supported by the opinion of its legal counsel, assesses the chances of success as probable, but the financial liability remains recognized as it is a contractual obligation not yet discharged and still depend on offsetting with the Company’s reimbursement rights.

Rumo Malha Oeste S.A. (“Rumo Malha Oeste”) also claiming the reestablishment of the economic-financial balance, lost by the cancellation of transportation contracts at the time of privatization, change in the regulatory environment and conditions set forth in the Privatization Tender—additionally, the growth forecasts that defined the value of the business did not materialize. The lawsuit is filed with the 16th Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro. To proceed with the legal discussion, the Company offered government securities (Treasury Bills—LFT) as an execution guarantee. In March 2008, the Company was authorized to replace the guarantee by a bank guarantee and in May 2008, the Company redeemed the treasury bills. In December 2014, a decision was handed down that upheld the action recognizing the occurrence of economic and financial balance of the contracts, with the amounts involved and certain related aspects still to be determined. In December 2015, the replacements of guarantee letters presented by Rumo were replaced with an insurance policy.

Management, supported by the opinion of its legal counsel, assesses the chances of success as probable, but the financial liability remains recognized as it is a contractual obligation not yet discharged and must still be offset against the company’s right to be reimbursed.

Judicial deposits at December 31, 2018 concerning the above claims totaled:

The balance of this account is considered as an asset or liability in accordance with the chart of accounts of the Regulatory. However, this account is excluded from the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and also IFRS, since the respective balance is not recorded as an asset or a liability, since its realization or settlement depends on future consumption by different consumers of the subsidiary Comgás.

Income tax and social contribution

Accounting policy

The income taxes rate is 34%. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except for some transactions that are recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

 

  i.

Current tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais—R$ unless otherwise stated)

 

 

  ii.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes and tax loss.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the way the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority and the same taxable entity.

 

  iii.

Recoverability of deferred income tax and social contribution

In assessing the recoverability of deferred taxes, management considers the projections of future taxable income and the movements of temporary differences. When it is not probable that part or all the taxes will be realized, the tax asset is reversed. There is no deadline for the use of tax loss carryforwards and negative bases, but the use of these accumulated losses of previous years is limited to 30% of annual taxable profits.

 

  iv.

Tax exposure

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company considers the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events. New information may become available that causes the Company to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

Provision for legal proceedings

Accounting policy

Provisions for legal proceedings are recognized as other expenses when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

The assessment of probability loss includes the available evidence, hierarchy of laws, jurisprudence, the most recent court decisions and relevance in the legal system, as well as the opinion of outside counsel. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted according to circumstances, such as limitation period, conclusions of tax inspections or additional exposures identified based on new matters or court decisions.

Provisions for legal proceedings resulting from business combinations are estimated at fair value in the acquisition time.

The Company had provision for legal proceedings and judicial deposits recorded in the financial position at December 31, 2018 and 2017 in respect of:

(i)

During the period from October 2003 to November 2006, the Company, through its subsidiary CLE, offset the FINSOCIAL tax against several other federal taxes, based on a final court decision in September 2003 following a decision that challenged the constitutionality of the FINSOCIAL. The offsetting of these taxes remains under discussion at the administrative level. No judicial deposits were made.

 

(ii)

The amounts that have been provisioned are mainly related to social security contributions levied on company´s earnings, pursuant to Article 22-A of the 8.212/91 Law, which are being challenged on the grounds of constitutionality. Judicial deposits have been made monthly for the corresponding amounts.

 

(iii)

The amounts that have been provisioned refer to tax assessments by the tax authorities related to several types of ICMS credits. Amongst them: (a) assessment notice related to ICMS payments for the purchase of raw materials which are considered for “use and consumption”, therefore, not eligible for compensation; (b) assessment, as sole obligor, for withholding of ICMS on tolling agreement from an agricultural partnership with Central Paulista Ltda. Açúcar e Álcool; and (c) assessment notice related to the ICMS offset arising from the fact that the forward presumed profit is bigger than the consummated profit, under tributary substitution regime.

Additionally, we are involved in several labor administrative and judicial proceedings such as labor investigations and class actions filed by the labor prosecutor’s office regarding alleged non-compliance with certain labor regulations, including work and safety rules, labor conditions and work environment, and social assistance plans. Moreover, we entered into certain consent orders (Termos de Ajustamento de Conduta) with Brazilian authorities and in the event, we fail to comply with such consent orders, we could be subject to fines.

  a)

Tax benefits that arose from the deduction of goodwill amortization;

 

F-68


Table of Contents

Cosan Limited

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais—R$ unless otherwise stated)

 

 

  b)

Exchange variation and interest incurred as the tax authorities understand that the corporate transactions carried out were intended to postpone the settlement of debt contracted abroad through the issuance of Perpetual Bonds, in order to reduce Positive result of exchange variation;

  c)

The subsidiary Comgás was known of the no recognition of the offsetting procedures made in 2015, using income taxes credits (“IRPJ”);

  d)

Isolated fine of 50%, resulting from non-homologation of compensations; and

  e)

Tax assessments that require IRPJ and social contributions (“CSLL”) related to: (i) Malha Norte Goodwill: Tax assessment notices drawn up for the collection of IRPJ and CSLL, cumulated with interest for late payment and fines and isolated. In the opinion of the Federal Revenue, Rumo Malha Norte would have unduly amortized the goodwill calculated on the acquisition of Brasil Ferrovias S/A and Novoeste Brasil S/A.; (ii) GIF, TPG and Teaçu: tax assessment notices issued for the collection of IRPJ and CSLL, plus a fine and default interest, as well as an isolated fine, for the following reasons: Deduction of the actual profit and the CSLL tax base from the amount corresponding to the amortization in acquisition of interest in Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S/A; Deduction, of the actual profit and the basis of calculation of CSLL, of the amount corresponding to the amortization of the goodwill paid by the companies TPG Participações S.A. and GIF LOG Participações S.A in the acquisition of shares issued by Rumo Logística S/A; and (iii) Labor provisions: In 2009, under the assumption that the Company would have excluded from the calculation of the actual profit and the adjusted basis of calculation of CSLL labor provisions. According to the tax authorities, the write-off of labor provisions was made by the Company without the individualization of the proceedings (provisions and reversals), which would impact on the tax calculation. The likelihood of loss is possible, considering that the occurrence of the decay and that the Company complied with all tax rules regarding the addition and exclusion of provisions in the determination of IRPJ and CSLL.

 

(ii)

In summary, these demands relate basically:

 

   

Tax assessments issued against the Company for unpaid ICMS and non-compliance with accessory obligations, in connection with the agricultural and industrial tolling services partnership;

 

   

ICMS levied on the remittances for the export of crystallized sugar, which the Company understands are tax exempt. However, the tax authorities classify crystallized sugar as a semi-finished product, which is therefore subject to ICMS;

 

   

ICMS withholding rate differences on the sale or purchase the goods, which after the operation, had their tax registrations revoked;

 

   

Disallowance of ICMS tax credits on the sale of diesel fuel to customers engaged in the agro industrial business;

 

   

ICMS payments on inventory differences arising from erroneous calculations by the State Tax Administration;

 

   

ICMS related to the fiscal war between the states, tax substitution method and tax credits arising from the transfer of excess credits to its centralizing unit;

 

   

The subsidiary CLE has been discussing the state fund of fiscal equilibrium (Fundo Estadual de Equilíbrio Fiscal), or “FEEF,” (deposit of 10% of ICMS tax exempted by the use of tax benefits) on the industrialization and commercialization of lube oils, considering that the constitutional immunity provided for in art. 155, § 2, X, “b” of CF / 88 cannot be considered as a tax benefit under Law No. 7.248 / 2016, regulated by State Decree No. 45.810/2016. Judicial deposits have been made for the corresponding amounts;

 

   

The State Tax Administration assessed the rail concessions for non-taxation of ICMS on invoices for the provision of rail freight services for export. There is a favorable position for taxpayers in the higher courts;

 

   

Assessment from State Tax Administration of São Paulo on the grounds that the Company was not authorized to operate as a general warehouse in that state. At the time of the release of the state registration, the tax authorities allowed the Company’s activities, including issuance of invoices.

 

   

Tax assessment notice issued by the São Paulo State Treasury Department, against Rumo Malha Paulista, covering the period from February 2011 to July 2015, with the indication of infractions for alleged lack of payment of ICMS on railroad services for export and ICMS credits accrual considered undue.

 

(iii)

Refers mainly to the reversal of PIS and COFINS credits, provided by Laws 10.637/2002 and 10.833/2003, respectively. Those reversals arise from a differing interpretation of the laws by the tax authorities in relation to raw materials. These discussions are still at the administrative level.

Tax authorities assessed the Rumo Malha Paulista for non-taxation of PIS and COFINS on revenues from mutual traffic and rite of passage billed against Rumo Malha Norte. The chance of loss is considered possible as tax already has been collected by the concessionaire responsible for transporting from origin.

 

(iv)

The subsidiary CLE received an assessment notice related to the withholding income tax on an alleged capital gain arising from the acquisition of assets of foreign companies.

The subsidiary Comgás received an assessment notice related to the withholding income tax on an alleged capital gain of a former shareholder due to contractual arrangements.

Rumo Malha Paulista had part of its IRPJ credit balance glossed based on the argument that the Company would not be entitled to IRRF compensation on swap transactions.

 

(v)

Tax assessment issued by the Brazilian Tax Authority in 2011 and 2013 against Rumo S.A. concerning: (a) amortization expense disallowance based on future profitability, as well as financial expenses; and (b) non-taxation of supposed capital gain on disposal of equity interest in a Company of the same group.

 

(vi)

Legal demands related to the SRF Normative Instruction no. 67/98 that allowed for the refunding of IPI tax payments for sales of refined sugar from January 14, 1992 through November 16, 1997 and fiscal requirement, at the exit of lubricating grease, of product immune to the collection of IPI, because it is derived from petroleum.

 

(vii)

The Company was assessed due to the disregard of the tax benefits of REPORTO (PIS and COFINS suspension), on the grounds that the locomotives and freight cars purchased in 2010 were used outside the limits area of the port. Therefore, the Company was assessed to pay PIS and COFINS, as well as an isolated fine corresponding to 50% of the value of acquired assets.

(viii)

The Tax Authority partially rejected the Company requests for payment of its federal tax debts, pursuant to provisional measure n. 470 (MP 470), on the ground that the tax loss offered is not sufficient to settle the respective debts. The likelihood of loss is considered as possible since the results are indicated existed and are available for such use.

 

(ix)

Tax assessment notices issued requiring additional income tax, social contribution, PIS and COFINS, for the calendar years 2005 to 2008 as a result of the following alleged violations: (a) improper exclusion of financial costs arising from loans with foreign financial institutions from the corporate income tax and social contribution calculation basis, (b) improper exclusion of financial income from securities issued by the Government of Austria and the Government of Spain from the corporate income tax and social contribution calculation basis (c) no inclusion, in the corporate income tax and social contribution calculation basis, of gains earned in swap operations, and non-taxation of financial income resulting from these contracts by PIS and COFINS, (d) improper offsetting from corporate income tax and the social contribution calculation basis by using PIS and COFINS credits.

A favorable decision in the Administrative Tax Appeals Council (Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais), or “CARF,” may change its classification for remote losses.

 

(x)

The legal proceeding related to INSS payment involve the following: (a) the legality and constitutionality questioning Normative Instruction MPS/SRP Nº 03/2005, which restricted the constitutional immunity over social contributions on export revenues through direct sales, consistent with the manner exports made via trading companies are now taxed; (b) assessment of SENAR (Rural apprenticeship scheme) social contribution on direct and indirect exports, in which the tax authorities disregard the right to constitutional immunity; and (c) requirement of social security contribution on stock purchase through stock option plans.

 

(xi)

SRF Normative Instruction no. 67/98 allowed for the refunding of IPI tax payments for sales of refined sugar from January 14, 1992 through November 16, 1997. Consequently, the Company applied for the offsetting of amounts paid during the periods against other tax liabilities. However, the tax authorities denied its application for both the reimbursement and offsetting of these amounts. The Company has challenged this ruling in an administrative proceeding. The subsidiary CLE has requirement of IPI, at restricting the constitutional immunity, because the lubricating oil is derived from petroleum.

 

(xii)

Tax assessments issued against the Rumo for the collection of social security contributions (20% on the amount paid) of amounts related to the Stock Option Plan granted to employees, managers and third parties. The main reason for the assessment is the alleged remunerative nature.

Labor:

In 2010, Prumo Engenharia Ltda. (“Prumo Engenharia”), a company that provided services to ALL—América Latina Logística SA (“ALL”), was accused of incurring irregular labor practices during the execution of an engineering service for the Company’s indirect subsidiary, Rumo Malha Paulista. Although Prumo Engenharia assumed full responsibility for the condition of the workers in question, Rumo Malha Paulista was improperly included, in the Rumo S.A.’s view, in the register of employers of the Ministry of Labor, being granted a preliminary injunction determining the exclusion of said registration until the final and unappealable decision of the judicial process, which is processed in the secrecy of justice.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office also filed a public civil action against the Malha Paulista, without the inclusion of Prumo in the case, demanding payment of compensation for collective damages in the amount of R$ 100.000 (among other commitments), partially adjudicated proceeding condemning the Rumo S.A in obligations of doing and not doing, as, in collective moral damages of R$ 15.000. In addition to demonstrating that the Rumo S.A did not participate in the practice of irregularities, Rumo S.A understands that the suit should be filed against Prumo, which is discussed in appeal. The risk of loss is considered possible and the case is awaiting decision of the Superior Labor Court.

Earnings per share

Accounting policy

 

  a)

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

 

  i.

the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares; and

 

  ii.

by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements (share-based payment) in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares (Note 15).

 

  b)

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

 

  i.

the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares; and

 

  ii.

the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The Company’s subsidiaries have two categories of potential dilutive effects: share options and put options. For the share options, a calculation is done to determine the effect of the dilution in the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent due the exercise of the share options at subsidiaries. For the put option, is assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares, and the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent is adjusted.

The non-controlling interests of the indirect subsidiary Brado have the right to exercise a liquidity option provided for in the shareholders’ agreement signed on August 5, 2013. This option would exchange all Brado shares held by such minority shareholders by shares of Rumo. The exchange ratio shall take into account the economic value for both Brado and Rumo shares. At the Company’s exclusive discretion, an equivalent cash payment is also possible.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, 3,264 share options indirect subsidiary Brado were excluded from the diluted weighted-average number of ordinary shares calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, 656,000 shares related to the share repurchase plan of subsidiary Cosan S.A. have an antidilutive effect, so they were not considered in the diluted earnings per share analysis.

Revenue

Accounting policy

The Company recognizes revenues from the following main sources:

 

  i.

Sale of products

The Company operates in the production and distribution of lubricants including the brands Mobil and Comma, as well as the production and distribution of biomass pellets. Products are sold in contracts identified with individual customers and in sets, as a package of goods or services.

The Company recognizes sales revenues upon delivery to the customer as long as revenue and costs can be measured reliably, receipt of the consideration is probable and there is no continuous involvement of management with the products. Delivery is considered to be the moment when the customer accepts the goods, and the risks and benefits related to the property are transferred.

Some lubricant sales contracts cannot be purchased separately from a package of services. However, the goods and services are clearly distinct in the contracts. This sales modality represents two separate performance obligations and therefore revenue will be recognized for each of these performance obligations when control of the respective goods and services is transferred to the customer. The transaction price be allocated to different performance obligations based on the independent selling price, in which revenues are identified, measured and recorded separately.

Trade incentives, including cash incentives, discounts and volume rebates, and free or discounted goods or services, are accounted for as a reduction of revenue.

Discounts, rebates, credits, price concessions, performance bonuses and similar incentives are treated as variable consideration and included in the transaction price at the company’s best estimate, and is included in revenue to the extent that it is highly probable that there will be no significant reversal of the cumulative amount of revenue when any pricing uncertainty is resolved.

 

  ii.

Services provided

The Company provides gas distribution services through the subsidiary Comgás and logistics services through the subsidiary Cosan Logística. The fair value and selling prices of individual services are broadly similar.

 

  iii.

Billed revenue

The company provides gas distribution services through the subsidiary Comgás. Fair value and service selling prices are conveniently released and recognized when its value is measured reliably, recognized as having no result at the same volume as those delivered to customers based on the monthly measurements performed.

 

  iv.

Unbilled revenue

Refers to the portion of gas supplied for which metering and billing to customers have not yet occurred. This amount is estimated based on the period between measurement and the last day of the month.

The actual volume billed may be different from estimates. The Company believes that, based on its historical experience with similar operation, the unbilled estimated amount will not significantly differ from actual amounts.

 

  v.

Services rendered

Are recognized when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company, when the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably, as well as when its amount and related costs can be measured reliably. Service prices are established based on service orders or contracts. Services for which payment is made in advance are recorded as deferred revenue in other liabilities and recognized in revenue when the services are rendered.

  vi.

Deferred revenue

Consists in advances received from clients seeking investment in fixed assets in return for a rail service contract requiring future performance of services by the Company.

 

  vii.

Infrastructure concessions

The construction of the infrastructure necessary for gas distribution is considered a construction service rendered to the Conceding Authority, and the related income is recognized in profit or loss at finishing stage of the work.

Construction costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the construction activity at the end of the reporting period, and are included in cost of sales.

The Company’s risk management is predominantly controlled by a central treasury department under policies approved by the board of directors. Company treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Company’s operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

Where all relevant criteria are met, hedge accounting is applied to remove the accounting mismatch between the hedging instrument and the hedged item. This will effectively result in recognizing interest expense at a fixed interest rate for the hedged floating rate loans and inventory at the fixed foreign currency rate for the hedged purchases.

The Company’s policy is to maintain a robust capital base to promote the confidence of investors, creditors and the market, and to ensure the future development of the business. Management monitors that the return on capital is adequate for each of its businesses.

The usage of financial instruments in order to protect against these areas of volatility is determined through an analysis of the risk exposure that management intends to cover.

 

  a)

Market risk

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

The Company uses derivatives to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the risk management committee. Generally, the Company seeks to apply hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss.

The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from U.S. Dollar denominated financial instruments and the impact on other components of equity arises from foreign forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges though its joint ventures.

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Real to U.S. Dollar and Euro at December 31, 2018 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. Stressed scenarios (positive and negative effects, before tax effects) were defined based on changes of a 25% and 50% to the U.S. Dollar and Euro exchange rates used in the probable scenario. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed on an annual basis and may be updated throughout the year. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through potential counterparty’s failure to make payments. The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash and derivative financial instruments are determined by rating instruments widely accepted by the market and are arranged as follows:

Post-employment benefits

Accounting policy

The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment and the present value of the pension obligation is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves the use of various assumptions which may differ from actual results in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. A defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed by management at each reporting date.

 

  a)

Defined contribution

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution plan that is due more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are discounted to their present value.

The Company provides defined contribution plans to all employees. The plan assets are held Futura plan (Futura II – Supplementary Pension Entity) and Comgás Pension Plan – PLAC. The Company and its subsidiaries do not have a legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all of the benefits owed.

 

  b)

Defined benefit

The Company is the sponsor of defined benefit pension plans for some of its employees. A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plans other than a defined contribution plan.

The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows, using interest rates that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.

Gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service costs.

Some of the Company’s pension plan, even though it is substantially defined contribution, has a variable component, whose risk is linked to the payment of minimum benefit and to the increase of the future contributions of the sponsors in the benefits in the event of Death Tax of the active taxpayer as well as in Disability Retirement, limited to three salaries. Any actuarial liability calculated, is recorded by the Company.

Defined benefit plan paid off, whose active participants have a paid-up benefit calculated in accordance with the regulation, which is being updated to the date of receipt by the plan of readjustment index, which leads the company to adopt such a provision the present value of benefits and that assisted participants receive annuity under the plan. The main actuarial risks are:

 

  i.

higher survival to that specified in mortality tables;

 

  ii.

the return on equity under the actuarial discount rate plus the accumulated IGP-DI; and

 

  iii.

real family structure of different retirees established hypothesis.

  a)

Defined contribution

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the amount of sponsor contributions to the plans was R$ 459 (R$ 327 and R$ 212 on December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively).

 

  b)

Defined benefit

The Company contributes to the following post-employment defined benefit plans:

 

  i.

Futura: The subsidiary CLE sponsors the Futura – Supplementary Pension Entity (“Futura”), formerly Previd Exxon—Private Pension Entity, which has the main objective supplemental benefits, within certain limits established in the regulations of the Retirement Plan. This plan was amended to close it to new entrants and approved by the relevant authorities on May 5, 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the amounts of contributions totaled R$ 4,138 (R$ 3,896 and R$ 4,571 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively). The weighted average duration of obligation is 10,84 years. In 2019 the subsidiary expects to make a contribution in the amount of R$ 4,311 in relation to its defined benefit plan; and

 

  ii.

Comgás: Obligations relating to post-employment benefit plans, which include medical assistance and incentive retirement, sick pay and disability benefits are recorded in accordance with CVM Deliberation 695.

The defined benefit pension plan is governed by the employment laws of the Brazil, which require final salary payments to be adjusted for the consumer price index upon payment during retirement. The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the amounts of contributions totaled R$ 26,808 (R$ 22,796 and R$ 23,588 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively). The weighted average duration of obligation is 13,8 years.

Share-based payment

Accounting policy

The fair value of share-based payment benefits at the grant date is recognized as employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in shareholders’ equity for the period in which employees unconditionally acquire the right to benefits.

The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of shares for which there is an expectation that the conditions of service and non-market acquisition conditions will be met in such a way that the amount finally recognized as an expense is based on the number of actions that actually meet the conditions of the service and non-market acquisition conditions on the date the vesting date is acquired. For non-vesting share-based payment benefits, the fair value on the grant date of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no change to the difference between expected and actual benefits.

The plans have been administered by the Board of Directors of each Company, at its option, by a Committee, within the limits established in the guidelines for the elaboration and structuring of each plan and in the applicable legislation.

 

  a)

Description of share-based payment arrangements

 

  i.

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments on the date on which they are granted and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period, which ends on the date on which the employees become fully entitled to the award. A corresponding credit is recognized within equity. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the company (market conditions). Non-vesting conditions, such as the condition that employees contribute to a savings-related plan, are taken into account in the grant-date fair value, and failure to meet a non-vesting condition, where this is within the control of the employee is treated as a cancellation and any remaining unrecognized cost is expensed. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions. The model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including expected stock-price volatility, expected life of the stock option or stock grant and dividend yield. The last two years of historical data shares value of the Company and subsidiaries have been considered in setting the assumptions.

Expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical volatility of the Company’s share price, particularly over the historical period commensurate with the expected term. The expected term of the instruments has been based on historical experience and general option holder behavior.

For other equity-settled share-based payment transactions, the goods or services received and the corresponding increase in equity are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received unless their fair value cannot be reliably estimated. If the fair value of the goods and services received cannot be reliably estimated, the transaction is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

 

  ii.

Cash-settled transactions

The Company has a phantom stock plan that provides for the granting of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and other cash-based awards to certain employees. SARs provide the opportunity to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common shares less the grant price. Compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value of the Cosan’s shares. Any changes in the liability are recognized in profit or loss.

 

  iii.

Employee share scheme (Stock-based compensation plan)

A scheme under which shares may be issued by the Company to employees for no cash consideration was approved by shareholders at the 2016 annual general meeting.

Under the scheme, eligible employees may be granted ordinary shares annually for no cash consideration. The number of shares issued to participants in the scheme is the offer amount divided by the weighted average price at which the Company’s shares are traded on the Stock Exchange. The shares are recognized at the closing share price on the grant date (grant date fair value) as an issue of treasury shares and as part of employee benefit costs in the period the shares are granted.

For equity-settled shared based compensation, expense is based on the grant date fair value of the awards expected to vest over the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, the fair value of each tranche is recognized over its respective vesting period. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-assesses its estimates of the number of awards that are expected to vest and recognizes the impact of the revisions in the income statement.

The Black-Scholes methodology was used to calculate the fair value under the terms of the Stock-Based Compensation Plan.

25 New standards and interpretations not yet effective

Certain new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2019 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Company has not early adopted the following new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

 

25.1

IFRS 16 Leases

These standards change the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. It requires lessees to record all leases on the statement of financial position with exemptions available for low value and short-term leases. During 2018, the Company concluded the preparations for the new requirements in IFRS 16, except for technical discussions regarding the agricultural partnership contracts in joint ventures.

The Company leases various properties, equipment and cars. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods but may have extension options as described in below. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

 

  i.

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

  ii.

variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate;

  iii.

amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

  iv.

the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

  v.

payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

 

  i.

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

  ii.

any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

  iii.

any initial direct costs, and;

  iv.

restoration costs.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of office furniture.

Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases across the Company. These terms are used to maximize operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Company and not by the respective lessor.

To optimize lease costs during the contract period, the Company sometimes provides residual value guarantees in relation to equipment leases.

The Company has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. The details of accounting policies are disclosed separately for each period.

The subsidiaries Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustíveis recognized the lease liability and the right to use asset at the date of the initial application for leases previously classified as operating leases, retrospectively, with cumulative effect. These joint ventures used as a practical expedient the use of a single discount rate on the lease portfolio with similar characteristics. The initial measurement of lease liabilities and rights-of-use assets is estimated between R$ 4,000,000 and R$ 5,000,000 (R$ 2,000 to R$ 2,500 in the interest in earnings of joint ventures, respectively). There are still technical discussions that may have a significant impact on the initial effects of these jointly controlled companies, such as whether the agricultural partnership contracts are within the scope of the standard.

 

25.2

IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment

The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12 and does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments.

Company is subject to examination by the tax authorities, with the five fiscal years open in general. The Company has audits in progress at various stages of completion, one of which may be completed within the next 12 months. However, December 31, 2018, the Company had no uncertainties regarding the treatment of income tax.

 

25.3

Amendments to IFRS 9: Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation

Under IFRS 9, a debt instrument can be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, provided that the contractual cash flows are ‘solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding’ (the SPPI criterion) and the instrument is held within the appropriate business model for that classification. The amendments to IFRS 9 clarify that a financial asset passes the SPPI criterion regardless of the event or circumstance that causes the early termination of the contract and irrespective of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract.

The amendments should be applied retrospectively and are effective from January 1, 2019. These amendments have no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

25.4

Amendments to IAS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

The amendments to IAS 19 address the accounting when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during a reporting period. The amendments specify that when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during the annual reporting period, an entity is required to:

 

  i.

Determine current service cost for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, using the actuarial assumptions used to remeasure the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event; and

 

  ii.

Determine net interest for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement using: the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event; and the discount rate used to remeasure that net defined benefit liability (asset).

The amendments also clarify that an entity first determines any past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, without considering the effect of the asset ceiling. This amount is recognized in profit or loss. An entity then determines the effect of the asset ceiling after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement. Any change in that effect, excluding amounts included in the net interest, is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The amendments apply to plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins on or after January 1, 2019. These amendments will apply only to any future amendments, curtailments, or settlements of the Company.

 

25.5

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015-2017 Cycle

 

  a)

IAS 12 Income Taxes

The amendments clarify that the income tax consequences of dividends are linked more directly to past transactions or events that generated distributable profits than to distributions to owners. Therefore, the Company recognizes the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events.

The Company applies those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. When the Company first applies those amendments, it applies them to the income tax consequences of dividends recognized on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period. Since the Company’s current practice is in line with these amendments, the Company does not expect any effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

  b)

IAS 23 Borrowing Costs

The amendments clarify that an entity treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing originally made to develop a qualifying asset when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare that asset for its intended use or sale are complete.

The Company applies those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Since the Company’s current practice is in line with these amendments, the Company does not expect any effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

25.6

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

This standard introduces a new model for accounting for insurance contracts. IFRS 17 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, with comparative figures required. Based on preliminary work we estimate the impact will be immaterial, we are in the process of reviewing our existing arrangements to determine the impact on adoption.

No other new accounting pronouncement issued or in force during the fiscal year had or should have a material impact on the financial statements.
