Report on the review of quarterly information – ITR

 

(A free translation of the original report in Portuguese, as filed with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, rules of the CVM and of the International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS)

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Vale S.A.

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

 

Introduction

 

1.                   We have reviewed the interim financial information, individual and consolidated, of Vale S.A. (“the Company”), identified as Parent Company and Consolidated, respectively, included in the quarterly information form - ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, which comprises the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2018 and the respective statements of income and comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

2.                   The Company`s Management is responsible for the preparation of these interim financial information in accordance with the CPC 21(R1) and the IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board — IASB, as well as the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express our conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of the review

 

3.                   We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Interim Information Review Standards (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries primarily of the management responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical procedures and other review procedures. The scope of a review is significantly less than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and, accordingly, it did not enable us to obtain assurance that we were aware of all the material matters that would have been identified in an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion on the interim financial information

 

4.                   Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact that might lead us to believe that the individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the aforementioned quarterly information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21(R1) and IAS 34, issued by the IASB, applicable to the preparation of the quarterly review - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Other matters

 

Statements of added value

 

5.                   The individual and consolidated interim financial information related to the statement of value added for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s management, and presented as supplementary information for the purposes of IAS 34, was submitted to the same review procedures followed together with the review of the Company’s interim financial information. In order to form our conclusion, we evaluated whether this statement was reconciliated to the interim financial information and to the accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria set on Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statement of value added was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.

c) Changes in significant accounting policies

 

(i) IFRS 9 Financial instrument — The Company has adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments starting January 1, 2018. This  standard  addresses  the  classification  and  measurement  of  financial  assets  and  liabilities,  new impairment model and new rules for hedge accounting. The main changes are described below:

 

· Classification and measurement - Under IFRS 9, the Company’s financial assets are initially measured at fair value (plus transaction costs if is not measured at fair value through profit or loss).

 

The investments in debt financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). The classification is based on two conditions:  the Company´s business model in which the asset is held; and whether the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ on the principal amount outstanding (“SPPI”).

 

The FVOCI category only includes equity instruments, which is not held for trading and the Company has irrevocably elected to designate upon initial recognition. The gains or losses from equity instruments at FVOCI are not recycled to income statement on derecognition and these financial assets are not subject to an impairment assessment under IFRS 9.

 

The Company has assessed its business models as of the date of IFRS 9 initial application, 1 January 2018, and no significant impact were identified in the financial statements.

 

· Impairment - IFRS 9 has replaced the IAS 39’s incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) approach.

 

For accounts receivables, the Company has applied the standard’s simplified approach and has calculated ECLs based on lifetime expected credit losses. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the economic environment and by any financial guarantees related to these accounts receivables.

 

For other financial assets, the ECL is based on the 12-month ECL. The 12-month ECL is the proportion of lifetime ECLs that results from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL.

 

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment including forward-looking information.

 

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

 

There is no significant impact on its financial statements resulting from this new impairment approach given Vale’s credit rating and risk management policies in place.

 

· Hedge accounting — The Company has elected to adopt the new general hedge accounting model in IFRS 9. The changes introduced by IFRS 9 relating to hedge accounting currently have no impact, as the Company does not currently apply cash flow or fair value hedge accounting.  The Company  currently  applies  the  net  investment  hedge for  which  there  are  no  changes introduced by this new standard.

 

(ii) IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers - The Company has adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers starting January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for revenue recognition and replaced IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. The Company has adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective method. Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 has not been restated.

 

· Sales of commodities - IFRS 15 introduced the five-step model for revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The new standard is based on the core principle that revenue is recognized when the control of a good or service transfers to a customer of an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

11



Table of Contents

 

 

There is no significant impact on the timing of commodities revenue recognition under IFRS 15, since usually the transfer of risks and rewards and the transfer of control under the sales contracts are at the same point in time.

 

The disaggregated revenue information is disclosed in note 3.

 

· Shipping services - A proportion of Vale’s sales are under Cost and Freight (“CFR”) or Cost, Insurance and Freight (“CIF”) Incoterms, in which the Company is responsible for providing shipping services after the date that Vale transfers control of the goods to the customers. According to the previous standard (IAS 18), the revenue from shipping services was recognized upon loading, as well as the related costs, and was not considered a separate service.

 

Under IFRS 15, the provision of shipping services for CFR and CIF contracts should be considered as a separate performance obligation in which a proportion of the transaction price would be allocated and recognized over time as the shipping services are provided. The impact on the timing of revenue recognition of the proportion allocated to the shipping service is not significant to the Company’s quarter-end results ended March 31, 2018. Therefore, such revenue has not been presented separately in these interim financial statements.

 

· Provisionally priced commodities sales - Under IFRS 9 and 15, the treatment of the provisional pricing mechanisms embedded within the provisionally priced commodities sales remains unmodified.  Therefore, these revenues are recognized based on the estimated fair value of the total consideration receivable, and the provisionally priced sales mechanism embedded within these sale arrangements has the character of a derivative.

 

The Company is mostly exposed to the fluctuations in the iron ore and copper price.

 

The selling price of these products can be measured reliably at each period, since the price is quoted on an active market. The fair value of the sales price adjustment, in the amount of R$525 in the period ended March 31, 2018, were recognized as operational revenue in the income statement.

 

d) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

 

The standards and interpretations issued by IASB relevant to the Company but not yet effective are the same as those applicable when preparing the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The other new standards effective from January 1, 2018 do not have a material effect on the Company’s interim financial statements.

 

e) Restatement of corresponding figures

 

The amounts corresponding to the Parent Company’s statements of cash flows, for the period ended March 31, 2017, originally presented in the interim financial statements for that period, have been restated for reclassification from financing activities in the amount of R$2,291 to investing activities. This amount relates to intercompany loans between the Parent Company and its subsidiary and was presented as cash flows from financing activities in the aforementioned period. This reclassification aligns the Company’s accounting practice with its cash management policy, which aims to manage at the Parent Company the cash generated by its subsidiaries, including sale of investments and planning for future investments.

 

 

In addition, the cash outflows in the amount of R$2,819 originally presented as transactions with stockholders were reclassified in cash flow from financing activities, from “Related Parties” to “Additions” and “Repayments” of loans and borrowings with third parties.

3.                            Information by business segment and by geographic area

 

The information presented to the Executive Board on the performance of each segment is derived from the accounting records, adjusted for reclassifications between segments.

 

a)        Adjusted LAJIDA (EBITDA)

 

Management uses adjusted EBITDA to assess each segment’s contribution to the Company’s performance and to support the decision making process.  Adjusted EBITDA is calculated for each segment using operating income or loss plus dividends received and interest from associates and joint ventures, and adding back the amounts charged as (i) depreciation, depletion and amortization and (ii) special events (additional information can be found in note 4).

 

In 2018, the Company has allocated general and corporate expenses to “Others” as these expenses are not directly related to the performance of each business segment. Therefore, “Others” includes unallocated corporate expenses. The comparative period was restated in order to reflect this change in the criteria for allocation.
