Demand in the United States beef industry is highest in the second and third quarters, due to favorable weather conditions for outdoor activities. In Australia, the beef industry faces a drop in slaughter in the fourth quarter, as the rainy season affects cattle’s availability and transport. In Brazil, beef sales do not fluctuate significantly during the year. The pork industry in The United States and Australia have peaks in demand in the first and fourth quarters, due to the supply of pork and the holidays, which stimulate the consumption of certain pork products, with no significantnt fluctuation in pork numbers in other locations.

(Expressed in thousands of United States dollar)

 

2 Basis of preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and should be read in conjunction with the Group´s last annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“last annual financial statements”). They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to describe events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group´s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, Management has made judgments and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

2.1 New standards, amendments and interpretations

a. Standards, amendments and interpretations recently issued and adopted by the Group

IAS 21 – Effects of changes in exchange rates and translation of financial statements.

As of January 1, 2025, this amendment establishes the accounting requirements for when a functional currency cannot be converted into other currencies. In such cases, the Group is required to utilize the most recent observable exchange rate to translate the results and financial position of the foreign operation into its presentation currency. The entity must also disclose this exchange rate, the date on which it was observed, and the reasons why the currency is not exchangeable. The company has not identified any impacts as a result of this change.

b. New standards, amendments and interpretations that are not yet effective

IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements.

As of January 1, 2027, IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The new standard introduces the following main new requirements:

- Companies are required to classify all income and expenses into five categories in the income statement: operating, investing, financing, discontinued operations, and income tax. Entities are also required to present a newly defined operating profit subtotal. The entities’ net income will not change.

Management has defined performance measures, which are disclosed in a single note in the financial statements.

Enhanced guidance will be provided on how to group information in the financial statements.

Additionally, all entities are required to use the subtotal of operating profit as the starting point for the cash flow statement when presenting operating cash flows using the indirect method.

The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard and will adjust the disclosure in accordance with the standard’s requirements in the annual financial statements.

(1) As outlined in the December 31, 2024 Financial statement, the Company recognized a tax provision in Brazil, of US$761 million of tax uncertainties, specifically related to the treatment of profits earned abroad (TBU). Of this amount, US$108 million pertained to the 2016 fiscal year. During the period, following a decision from the Administrative Council for Tax Appeals (CARF) unfavorable to the Company by a casting vote, the Company, despite maintaining confidence in its legal argument, opted for settlement the 2016 tax assessment due to the favorable economic benefit of settlement that included the complete cancellation of late payment penalties and interest, as well as the ability to utilize tax losses and negative CSLL bases calculated by the subsidiaries within the same economic group. This was in accordance with Brazilian tax Law 14,689/2023, which amended §3 of Art. 25 of Decree 70,235/1972. As a result of the CARF decision an additional provision of US$86 million was recognized against current income tax expenses. Then, the Company settled the full amount (US$ 194 million) of the related taxes against the provision for uncertain tax position. As of March 31, 2025 the provision for uncertain tax position amounted to US$ 700 million.

Effective income tax rate

     (19.85)%        (0.76)%  

Additional information: analysis of the variation in the effective rate:

The average effective tax rate is calculated as the ratio between tax expense (income) and accounting profit. This rate can be influenced by operations that impact tax expense (income), but which have no direct relationship with net income for the period. The following are examples of these operations: the effects of unrecognized deferred taxes, income tax, and social contributions on the realization of the revaluation reserve. In our opinion, this information should be considered when analyzing the effective tax rate.

(3) The group and its subsidiaries have subsidies granted by state governments, as a presumed credit, in accordance with the regulations of each state. The amounts appropriated from this tax incentive as revenue in the income statement are excluded in the calculation of taxes on profit, when the requirements set out in current legislation are met. ntives as revenue in the statement of income are excluded from the calculation of taxes on income, when the requirements set forth in current legislation are achieved.

(4) According to Law No. 12,973/14, the income from foreign subsidiaries must be taxed at the Brazilian statutory tax rate of 34%, and the income tax paid abroad by these subsidiaries may be used to compensate income taxes to be paid in Brazil. The results obtained from foreign subsidiaries are subject to taxation by the countries where they are based, according to applicable rates and legislation (profits taxed by-foreign jurisdictions included in the reconciliation of income tax and social contribution expense). The Group analyzes the results of each subsidiary for the application of its income tax legislation, in order to respect the treaties signed by Brazil and avoid double taxation.

(5) Refers to donations made by the Group, as described in note 25 - Expenses by nature.

Global Minimum Tax

From the 2024 calendar year onward, Pillar II rules came into effect in various jurisdictions, impacting multinationals operating in these markets.

Since the Group operates in several jurisdictions that adopted the global minimum tax from 2024, including Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, the Company assessed the potential impact of these regulations. Based on current assessments, the Company has not identified any significant tax exposure resulting from this tax.

When future undiscounted cash flows of assets are estimated to be insufficient to recover their related carrying value, the Group compares the asset’s estimated future cash flows, discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate, to its current carrying value and records a provision for impairment as appropriate.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the capitalization rate used was 13.79% p.a., in Brazil and 5.10% p.a. in the United States.

11 Leases

The Group uses the optional exemption to not recognize a right of use asset and lease liability for short term (less than 12 months) and low value leases. The average discount rate used for measuring lease liabilities was 5.90% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 (5.16% at December 31, 2024).

13 Goodwill

Goodwill represents the positive difference between consideration paid to purchase a business and the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired entity. Goodwill is recognized as an asset and included in “Goodwill” in the Statement of Financial Position. Goodwill is related to an expectation of future earnings of the acquired subsidiary after assets and liabilities are combined with the Group and cost savings resulting from synergies expected to be achieved upon the integration of the acquired business.

Civil legal proceedings (probable loss):

United States

The civil legal proceedings involve class-action lawsuits alleging violations of federal and state antitrust laws, as well as laws governing unfair competition, unjust enrichment, unusual business practices, and consumer protection related to beef, pork and chicken sales, as well as Canada and US State Matters.

The Group, together with its legal department and external counsel, continues to monitor the progress of the antitrust cases and believes that the accounting provisions recorded as of the date of these interim financial statements are sufficient to cover the associated risk.

Brazil

a. Profits abroad

Between the calendar years 2006 and 2018, the Group was subject to assessments arising from tax charges on profits earned abroad that were supposed to be included in the IRPJ and CSLL calculation basis, also including invoices disallowances paid by investees abroad, on the grounds that they could not have been used to offset IRPJ and CSLL due in Brazil. These charges also involve the imposition of officio fines, isolated fines and interest. The Group clarifies that a large part of the collection of IRPJ and CSLL on profits from abroad refers to profits from investees located in jurisdictions with which Brazil has agreements to avoid double taxation. In addition, a relevant part of the charge covers the discussion regarding the formal requirements demanded by the inspection authorities for the purposes of consolidating the results abroad of its direct or indirect investees, and it is certain that the Group disagrees with the criteria applied by the inspection authorities and has submitted a defense. For almost all of the debts, the Group is defending itself at the administrative level and is awaiting judgment. In accordance with the IFRIC23 technical interpretation, the Board assessed the relevant tax rulings, verifying any divergences in relation to the tax positions adopted by the group. Based on this analysis, and taking into account legal opinions and applicable jurisprudence, the Group has a provision in the total amount of US$ 696 million, referring to the divergence of positions on the taxation of profits of affiliates abroad in countries with international agreements recorded and reducing the heading of taxes to be recovered, reflecting the possible possibility of future realization of these amounts.

24 Operating segments

The Group’s Management has defined operating segments based on the reports that are used to make strategic decisions, analyzed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) - our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), there are seven reportable segments: Brazil, Seara, Beef North America, Pork USA, Pilgrim’s Pride, Australia and Others. The segment operating profit or loss is evaluated by the CODM, based on Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA consists of profit or loss before taxes, applying the same accounting policies described in these financial statements, except for the following adjustments as described below: exclusion of financial income and expenses, exclusion of depreciation and amortization expenses, exclusion of profit sharing from equity investments, net of taxes; exclusion of expenses with antitrust agreements; exclusion of donations and social programs expenses; exclusion impairment of assets; exclusion of restructuring and exclusion of certain other operating income (expense), net.

Brazil: this segment includes the operating activities, mainly represented by slaughter facilities, cold storage and meat processing, fattening, feed and production of beef by-products such as leather, collagen and other products produced in Brazil. Revenues are generated from the sale of products predominantly to restaurant chains, food processing companies, distributors, supermarket chains, wholesale supermarket and other significant food chains.

Seara: this segment includes all the operating activities of Seara and its subsidiaries, mainly represented by chicken and pork processing, production and commercialization of food products and value-added products. Revenues are generated from the sale of products predominantly to restaurant chains, food processing companies, distributors, supermarket chains, wholesale supermarket and other significant food chains.

Beef North America: this segment includes JBS USA beef processing operations in North America and the plant-based businesses in Europe. Beef also sells by-products to the variety meat, feed processing, fertilizer, automotive and pet food industries and also produces value-added meat products including toppings for pizzas. Finally, Sampco LLC imports processed meats and other foods such as canned fish, fruits and vegetables to the US and Vivera produces and sells plant-based protein products in Europe.

Pork USA: this segment includes JBS USA’s pork operations, including Swift Prepared Foods. Revenues are generated from the sale of products predominantly to retailers of fresh pork including trimmed cuts such as loins, roasts, chops, butts, picnics and ribs. Other pork products, including hams, bellies and trimmings, are sold predominantly to further processors who, in turn, manufacture bacon, sausage, and deli and luncheon meats. In addition, revenues are generated from the sale of case ready products, including the recently acquired TriOak business. As a complement to our pork processing business, we also conduct business through our hog production operations, including four hog farms and five feed mills, from which, JBS Lux will source live hogs for its pork processing operations.

Pilgrim’s Pride: this segment includes PPC’s operations, including Moy Park, Tulip and Pilgrim’s Consumer Foods as well, mainly represented by chicken processing, production and commercialization of food products and prepared foods in the United States of America, Mexico, United Kingdom and France. The fresh chicken products consist of refrigerated (non-frozen) whole or cut-up chicken, either pre-marinated or non-marinated, and pre-packaged chicken in various combinations of freshly refrigerated, whole chickens and chicken parts. The prepared chicken products include portion-controlled breast fillets, tenderloins and strips, delicatessen products, salads, formed nuggets and patties and bone-in chicken parts. These products are sold either refrigerated or frozen and may be fully cooked, partially cooked or raw. In addition, these products are breaded or non-breaded and either pre-marinated or non-marinated. The segment also generates revenue from the sale of prepared pork products through PPL, a subsidiary acquired by PPC in October 2019. The segment includes PPC’s PFM subsidiary, acquired in September 2021, and generates revenues from branded and private label meats, meat snacks, food-to-go products, and ethnic chilled and frozen ready meals.

Australia: Our Australia segment includes our fresh, frozen, value-added and branded beef, lamb, pork and fish products in Australia and New Zealand.

We also sell value-added and branded beef products (including frozen cooked and pre-cooked beef, corned cooked beef, beef cubes and consumer-ready products, such as hamburgers and sausages). We also operate lamb, pork, and fish, processing facilities in Australia and New Zealand, including the recently acquired Huon and Rivalea businesses.

(1) CDBs are updated at the contractual rate but have a short-term and the counterparties are financial institutions, and their carrying amount is approximate to fair value; (ii) national treasury bill are measured at fair value.

(2) Loans and receivables are classified as amortized cost. The trade accounts receivable are short-term and net of expected losses.

Fair value of assets and liabilities through profit or loss: The Group determine fair value measurements in accordance with the hierarchical levels that reflect the significance of the inputs used in the measurement, with the exception of those maturing in the short term, equity instruments without an active market and contracts with discretionary characteristics that the fair value cannot be measured reliably, according to the following levels:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1, in which prices are quoted for similar assets and liabilities, either directly by obtaining prices in active markets or indirectly through valuation techniques that use data from active markets;

Fair value of assets and liabilities carried at amortized cost: The fair value of the Notes, are estimated using the closing sale price of these securities informed by a financial newswire on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, considering there is an active market for these financial instruments. The book value of the remaining fixed-rate loans approximates fair value since the interest rate market, the Group’s credit quality, and other market factors have not significantly changed since entering into the loans. The book value of variable-rate loans and financings approximates fair value given the interest rates adjust for changes in market conditions and the quality of the Group’s credit rating has not substantially changed. For all other financial assets and liabilities, book value approximates fair value due to the short duration of the instruments. The following details the estimated fair value of notes:

c. Commodity price risk

The Group operates globally (the entire livestock protein chain and related business) and during the regular course of its operations is exposed to price fluctuations in feeder cattle, live cattle, lean hogs, corn, soybeans, and energy, especially in the North American, Australian and Brazilian markets. Commodity markets are characterized by volatility arising from external factors including climate, supply levels, transportation costs, agricultural policies and storage costs, among others. The Risk Management Department is responsible for mapping the exposures to commodity prices of the Group and proposing strategies to the Risk Management Committee, in order to mitigate such exposures.

Financial instruments designated for hedge accounting were classified as cash flow hedge. The effective amount of the instrument’s gain or loss is recognized under “Other comprehensive income (expense)” and the ineffective amount under “Financial income (expense), net”, and the accumulated gains and losses are reclassified to profit and loss or to the balance sheet when the object is recognized, adjusting the item in which the hedged object was recorded.

In these hedge relationships, the main sources of ineffectiveness are the effect of the counterparties and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash flows attributable to the change in exchange rates; changes in commodities prices; and changes in the timing of the hedged transactions.

(1) Includes interest on all loans and financing outstanding. Payments are estimated for variable rate debt based on effective interest rates for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Payments in foreign currencies are estimated using the March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 exchange rates.

The Group has future commitment for purchase of grains and cattle whose balances as of March 31, 2025 is US$36.3 billion (December 31, 2024 is US$33.5 billion).

The Group has securities pledged as collateral for derivative transactions with the commodities and futures whose balance as of March 31, 2025 is US$8,761 (US$28,687 at December 31, 2024). This guarantee exceeds the amount of the collateral.

The indirect subsidiary JBS USA and its subsidiaries, have securities pledged as collateral for derivative transactions with the commodities and futures whose balance as of March 31, 2025 is US$334,559 (US$104,000 at December 31, 2024). This guarantee exceeds the amount of the collateral.

Also, the direct subsidiary Seara Alimentos has securities pledged as collateral for derivative transactions with the commodities and futures whose balance as of March 31, 2025 is US$3,743 (US$3,867 at December 31, 2024). This guarantee exceeds the amount of the collateral.

A future breach of covenant may require the Group to repay the loan earlier than indicated in the above table. Detailed information on the opening of the Group’s covenants is disclosed annually.

The interest payments on variable interest rate loans and bond issues in the table above reflect market forward interest rates at the reporting date and these amounts may change as market interest rates change. The future cash flows on derivative instruments may be different from the amount in the above table as interest rates and exchange rates or the relevant conditions underlying the derivative change. Except for these financial liabilities, it is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.

e. Risks linked to climate change and the sustainability strategy

In view the Group’s operations, there is inherent exposure to risks related to climate change. Certain Group assets, which are mainly biological assets that can be measured at fair value, may be impacted by climate change and are considered in the preparation process of this interim financial information.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, Management considered as main risk the data and assumptions highlighted below:

(i)   possible impacts on the determination of fair value in biological assets due to the effects of climate change, such as temperature rise, scarcity of water resources, may impact some assumptions used in accounting estimates related to the Group’s biological assets, as follows:

• losses of biological assets due to heat waves and droughts which occur with greater frequency and intensity;

• reduction in the expected growth of our biological assets due to natural disasters, fires, pandemics or changes in rainfall patterns; and

• interruption in the production chain due to adverse weather events, causing power outages, fuel shortages, disruption of transportation channels, among other things.

(ii)   structural changes and their impacts on the business, such as:

• regulatory and legal: regulation and legislation arising from Brazilian and/or international authorities that encourage the transition to a low-carbon economy and/or with greater biodiversity and that increase the risk of litigation and/or commercial restrictions related to the alleged contribution, even if indirect, for the intensification of climate change;

• reputational: related to customers’ perceptions and the society in general regarding the positive or negative contribution of an organization to a low carbon economy.
