Executive Summary 3Q15

 

The challenges posed by Brazil's macroeconomic slowdown since the start of the year continued into the third quarter of 2015. The period was also marked by high volatility in the U.S. dollar exchange rate and in international sugar, ethanol and crude oil prices. Despite this challenging environment, our businesses continued to perform in line with our expectations for the year and in line with our guidance.

 

Cosan Logística: Consolidated EBITDA of Rumo ALL grew 3% to R$551 million, despite higher reclassification of maintenance expenses (parts, services and personnel). EBITDA in 9M15 reached R$1,450 million, nearly 80% of the midpoint of our guidance for 2015. Total volume transported reached 12.5 billion RTK (up 6% from 3Q14), mainly due to the 14% increase in the transportation of agricultural products. North Operations presented 16% volume growth and R$490 million of EBITDA (18% up from 3Q14). Port loading of 3.7 million tons: up 20% from 3Q14 due to the sugar crop peak season, as well as additional corn volumes in the quarter. Leverage decreased by 2.3% compared to 2Q15, achieving 4.85 times the net debt/LTM EBITDA, due to the improvement in EBITDA LTM.

 

Cosan S/A: Pro forma EBITDA was R$1,090 million, up 11% compared to 3Q14. Pro forma EBITDA amounted to R$992 million, increasing 2% from 3Q14. The seasonally weaker result at Raízen Energia in the quarter, which was partially offset by the higher net income at Raízen Combustíveis and Comgás, contributed to the net loss of R$13 million at Cosan. The third quarter of the year (the second of the crop year) is typically marked by cash burn at Raízen Energia due to the inventory building strategy, which resulted in the pro forma use R$136 million in 3Q15. In the year to date (9M15), Cosan generated R$1,190 million of cash, reflecting the strong focus on improving operating performance and on reducing CAPEX in the business units.

 

Raízen Combustíveis: Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the effects from asset divestments, advanced 7% on 3Q14 (+9% for reported EBITDA). Fuel sales continued to suffer from the country’s weaker economic activity, especially diesel. Even so, sales volume growth outpaced the industry average (-3,1% source: ANP). Otto cycle (gasoline+ethanol) sales volume advanced 5% on 3Q14, especially in the retail segment, supported by the faster pace of service station conversions and the maturation of stations converted in recent years. Diesel sales contracted 1% from 3Q14, while diesel sales by the overall industry contracted 6%, which is explained by new contracts signed in the period and stronger demand from agribusiness consumers. EBITDA growth in the quarter was driven by the expansion in ethanol unit margin and by the product's higher share in the sales mix.

 

Raízen Energia: Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the effects from the variation in biological assets and hedge accounting, reached R$837 million, increasing 20% over 3Q14. The results in the quarter (second of the 2015/16 crop year) were driven a sequential increase in crushing volumes, despite the atypical rains in the period, supporting higher sales volumes of sugar (+18%) and ethanol (+11%). Agricultural yield in the quarter (measured in tons of TRS content per hectare) also improved, reaching

Cosan Limited - Press Release 

3rd quarter of the Fiscal Year 2015 

 

12.3 tons TRS/ha, compared to 10.3 tons TRS/ha in 3Q14. Unit cash cost increased compared to 3Q14, reflecting the late start of the crushing season, particularly for own cane, resulting in the higher crushing of cane from suppliers, for which the TRS price published by CONSECANA increased. CAPEX decreased 41% from 3Q14, which reflects the plan to optimize investments in the sugar and ethanol segment and is in line with our guidance.

 

Comgás: Normalized EBITDA, which includes the effect from the regulatory current account, totaled R$380 million, increasing 6% over 3Q14. Natural gas sales continued to suffer from the slower economic activity, especially in the industrial segment. Lower water consumption in the state of São Paulo, combined with abnormally high temperatures, adversely affected residential unit consumption. Excluding thermal power, sales volumes contracted 6% compared to 3Q14. On the other hand, 23 industrial clients, 335 commercial clients and 30,000 residential clients were connected in the quarter. EBITDA growth in the period is explained by the better sales mix, tariff increases and control of expenses.

 

Lubrificantes: EBITDA in 3Q15 continued to improve, growing 37% on the year-ago period to R$42 million. EBITDA growth and EBITDA margin expansion in the period were driven by the better sales mix and the results from the international operations.

 

Radar: EBITDA amounted to R$13 million in 3Q15, a period marked by a lower volume of property sales. There was also no variation in the market indicators used to adjust the value of the own land portfolio. Radar ended the quarter with 278,600 hectares of own and third-party land under management, with a market value of R$5.3 billion.

Independent auditors’ report on review of interim financial statements

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders 

Cosan Limited

 

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated interim financial information of Cosan Limited (“The Company”), contained in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, which comprises the statement of financial position as of September 30, 2015 and the respective statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine month periods then ended, and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine month period then ended, including the footnotes.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, such as for the presentation of this information in accordance with the regulations of the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

 

Review scope

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International standards on reviews of interim information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity 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 persons responsible for the financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the audit standards and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion on the consolidated interim financial information

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial information included in the Quarterly Information - ITR referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information - ITR, and presented in accordance with the regulations of the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM.

3 Business combinations 

 

ALL – América Latina Logística S.A. (“ALL”)

 

On April 1, 2015, Cosan, through its subsidiary Rumo Logística Operadora Multimodal S.A. (“Rumo”), acquired 100% of the common shares of ALL and started to consolidate the results of operations of ALL as of that date.

 

The acquisition occurred through the replacement of ALL shares with Rumo shares, at the exchange ratio of 2.879303067 registered, book-entry common shares without par value issued by Rumo for each 1 (one) registered, book-entry common share without par value issued by ALL. Therefore, according to such exchange ratio, 1,963,670,770 registered, book-entry common shares without par value were issued by Rumo, representing 65.67% of Rumo’s shareholders’ equity, attributable to ALL shareholders registered on March 31, 2015, represented by 681,995,165 common shares.

 

ALL is located in the City of Curitiba, State of Paraná. The Company’s main activities are the railroad transportation related activities and the acquisition, leasing or lending of locomotives, wagons and other railway equipment.

 

ALL operates railroad transportation in the Southern region of Brazil through ALL – América Latina Logística Malha Sul S.A., and in the Mid-West region and State of São Paulo through its subsidiaries ALL – América Latina Logística Malha Paulista S.A., ALL – América Latina Logística Malha Norte S.A. and ALL – América Latina Logística Malha Oeste S.A..

 

(i)Consideration transferred

 

The fair value of the ordinary shares issued was based on the listed share price of the ALL (ticker – ALL3.SA) as at March 31, 2015 of R$ 3.97 per share. Additionally, the value was adjusted by the settlement of pre-existing relationship, as follows:

 

   In thousands of R$
    
Equity instruments (681,995,165 common shares)   2,707,534 
Settlement of pre-existing relationship   29,838 
Total consideration transferred   2,737,372 

 

(a)Settlement of pre-existing relationship

 

In March 2009, Rumo and ALL entered into an operating agreement (pre-existing relationship) for the supply of sugar transport logistics and other grains from the western of the state of São Paulo to the Port of Santos, in which Rumo has port concessions for lifting services.

 

According to the terms of the existing agreement, Rumo invested in the construction and improvement of permanent roads under concession of ALL and acquisition of rolling stock for use in the transport of products in the rail network, in order to increase rail freight transport capacity in ALL. In exchange for the Company's

investments, the agreement stipulated that ALL should provide a certain capacity of rail transport services, as well as compensate Rumo through the payment of a fee, fixed contractually, per ton of product transported by ALL on the rail network and / or by the use of undercarriage given by Rumo to ALL.

 

This pre-existing relationship was settled when Rumo acquired ALL. As a result of this settlement, Rumo recorded a gain of R$ 29,838 in the profit or loss as "other operating income".

 

The fair value of the settlement of pre-existing relationship has been the difference between the value of the investment made by Rumo and the discounted cash flow of the remuneration of such investment, considering the volume and contractually agreed rate.

(a)Measurement of fair value

 

The valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value were market prices for similar items when they are available, depreciated replacement cost when appropriate, discounted cash flow, and other.

 

If new information obtained within one year of the date of acquisition about facts and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition identifies adjustments to the above amounts, or any additional provisions that existed at the date of acquisition, then the accounting for the acquisition will be revised.

 

Rumo has elected to measure the participation of Brado Holding S.A. (“Brado”) minority shareholders according to the proportion of the non-controlling shareholders’ in the fair value of identifiable net assets of Brado.

 

Accounts receivable fair value of R$ 385,367 is net of an allowance of R$ 51,495.

 

The costs related the acquisition were recorded in "other operating expenses" in the profit and loss in the amount of R$ 5,295.

 

The consolidated statement of profit or loss includes, from the date of acquisition, revenues and net income of R$ 2,277,133 and R$ 21,021, respectively, generated by ALL and its subsidiaries.

 

If ALL had been consolidated from January 1, 2015, the consolidated statement of profit or loss would present net revenue of R$ 9,922,401 and a net profit of R$ 22,629.

 

4 Operating segments

  

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”). A reconciliation of EBITDA to profit (loss) is presented below.

Covenants

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictive financial covenants set forth in existing loans, financing and debentures agreements in relation to certain financial and non-financial indicators.

 

Financial covenants are required to be calculated on a quarterly basis, at the end of each period.

 

On December 31, 2014, ALL failed to meet certain covenants for which waivers were later obtained from creditors releasing ALL from early call of the debt.

 

Except for BNDES, whose new net debt indicators (EBITDA and ICD) are yet to be set, all other creditors have agreed to a ratio of up to 5.5x net debt / EBITDA. If the negotiations with BNDES require a lower leverage ratio, such ratio will be extended to all other creditors with equivalent covenants conditions. On September 30, 2015, quarterly financial covenants were met within the new established standards.

 

Debentures have covenants in similar conditions to those described and also had their covenant net debt / EBITDA ratio adjusted to 5.5x.

Court Discussion

 

Rumo, through its subsidiary ALL, is challenging in court the economic and financial imbalance of the Lease and Concession Agreements.

 

In May 2005, the company filed a note in the 20th Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro, wondering about the economic and financial imbalance of the Lease and Concession Agreements, due to the high disbursement incurred by the Company for the payment of labor judicial proceedings and other costs involved, which are of the Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A responsibility.

 

ALL Malha Paulista required an specialized expertise in order to determine the new value for the lease and concession installments, as well as a review of the payment of due and falling due installments until the effective expertise inspection for determination of the adequate value. In July 2005, the request was granted. In September 2005, the request was revoked by the Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro. The action still has no judgment and awaits the conclusion of the expert examination. The value related to the lease installments was being deposited in court until September 2007, when the Company obtained a judicial authorization to replace the judicial deposits for a banking guarantee letter. The management, supported by the opinion of its lawyers, assesses the chances of success as probable, but keeps the debt registry because it is a legal obligation.

 

ALL Malha Oeste is claiming the reestablishment of the economic-financial balance, lost due to the cancellation of transportation agreements at the moment of privatization setting change in the regulatory environment and conditions set forth in the Notice of Privatization - further growth forecasts that defined the value of the deal was not materialized. The lawsuit has been discussed by 16th Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro. The amount related to overdue installments of the Company was having guaranteed by purchasing of government securities. In March 2008 the Company was authorized to replace the saved values by bank guarantee and, in May 2008 the Company redeemed the values. In December 2014 the court recognized the occurrence of economic and financial imbalance of contracts. There remains the definition of skill to determine the amount of imbalance and related aspects.

 

Management, supported by the opinion of its lawyers, assesses the chances of success as probable, but keeps the debt registry because it is a legal obligation not definitively decided yet in favor of the Company.

 

Judicial deposits on September 30, 2015 concerning the above claims total:

 

  ALL Malha Paulista   116,038 
  ALL Malha Oeste   17,690 
      
    133,728

17 Trade payables

 

   September 30, 2015  December 31, 2014
       
Natural gas suppliers   1,551,302    1,043,997 
Judicial deposits(i)   (294,976)   (294,976)
Materials and service suppliers   1,036,353    363,438 
    2,292,679    1,112,459 
           
Current   2,291,288    1,112,459 
Non-current   1,391    - 

 

(i)The contracts for the supply of natural gas have their composite price built in two parts: a part that is indexed according to a basket of fuel oil in the international market and readjusted quarterly; and another part that is readjusted annually based on the domestic and/or American inflation. The cost of gas is practiced in R$/m³, and the Bolivian gas is calculated at US$/MMBTU, with correction by the monthly exchange rate variation.

 

On February 25, 2014, COMGÁS obtained a preliminary injunction against Petrobrás, which assured the Company the right to provide a deposit of the controversial monthly value due to Petrobrás, corresponding to the difference in prices between (i) the price in the TCQ Contract for the Supply of Gas signed between COMGÁS and Petrobrás and (ii) the price under the Firm Contract signed between Petrobrás and Gás Brasiliano Distribuidora S.A., whereas the obligation of equality assumed before the Petrobrás Group with the State Regulatory Agency - ARSESP. Initially, the security was provided by bank deposits which, subsequently, after the preliminary injunction was granted by the STJ in November 6, 2014, were replaced by a letter of guarantee issued by a first-tier financial institution.

 

Therefore, the controversial values calculated based on the supply of gas from January to September 2014 were assured in a court decision upon a judicial deposit and the controversial values calculated found as of the supply of gas from October 2014 to September 2015 began to be secured by a bank guarantees. The guaranteed value in the judicial deposit is R$ 294,976 and the guaranteed value through surety is of R$ 528,028.

The chance of loss is considered possible, since: a) the financial investments were made with countries on which Brazil has treaty providing for the non-taxation; and b) the incidence of PIS and COFINS on hedging transactions was rejected by decree dated 2005.

 

(ii)Tax assessments issued by the Brazilian Tax Authority in 2011 and 2013 against ALL Holding 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.

 

(iii)The Brazilian Tax Authority partially rejected the installment requests for federal tax debts made by ALL Malha Sul and the ALL Intermodal, arguing that the tax losses offered by the companies were not sufficient to discharge of their debts. The probability of loss is considered possible, since the losses pointed existed and were available for such use.

 

b)Civil and labor

 

The civil and labor claims for which unfavorable outcomes are deemed possible are as follow:

 

   September 30, 2015  December 31, 2014
       
Civil   2,173,270    1,118,151 
Labor   873,785    391,992 
           
    3,047,055    1,510,143 

 

21 Preferred shareholders payable in subsidiaries

  

On June 27, 2014, Cosan S.A. transferred to a newly-incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary, Cosan Investimentos e Participações S.A., its shares in Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustíveis S.A. in addition to a debenture Cosan S.A. had issued and placed with Banco Bradesco S.A.. The net assets transferred at that date totaled R$ 1,979,519.

 

Concurrently, also on June 27, 2014, Cosan S.A. executed an Investment Agreement with Fundo de Investimentos em Participações Multisetorial Plus II (“FIP Multisetorial”) and with Razac Fundo de Investimentos em Participações (“FIP Razac”). FIP Multisetorial and FIP Razac are funds owned by Banco Bradesco BBI S.A and Citibank Distribuidora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S.A., respectively. Pursuant to this agreement, FIP Multisetorial and FIP Razac subscribed and paid-in R$ 2,000,000 of non-voting preferred shares issued by Cosan Investimentos e Participações S.A.. These preferred shares will be remunerated based on a formula designed to provide a return over 15 years equivalent to the CDI rate. In the event the accumulated remuneration falls short of the minimum amount prescribed in the formula, as at April 30, 2021, the preferred shareholders will have a put against Cosan S.A. for an amount equivalent to the value of the initial investment plus interest based on the CDI less any CDI-indexed dividends paid.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian Reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

(i)These amounts corresponds to the notional in USD translated to R$ by exchange rate contracted.

 

(ii)The Company recorded in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the net effect of the Senior Notes 2023 designated for hedge accounting. Therefore, the amount of R$ 337,475 is accounted for as financial expense.

 

Credit risk

 

COMGÁS has no concentration of credit risk due to its broad customer base.

 

Credit risk is managed through specific rules regarding client acceptance, including credit ratings and limits for customer exposure, including the requirement for a letter of credit from a major bank and obtaining actual warranties when given credit, when applicable. Management believes that credit risk is adequately managed through its policy of allowances for doubtful accounts.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries may acquire exchange rate and interest rate derivative instruments in the BM&FBovespa, OTC, registered CETIP or the international markets, with several banks, within the limits established in the Treasury Policy for each bank.

 

The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits in national and foreign financial institutions are determined using the rating instruments accepted by the market as follows:

 

   September 30, 2015  December 31, 2014
       
Cash and cash equivalents   2,126,808    1,649,340 
Investment securities   1,093,917    149,735 
Trade receivables   1,107,322    1,346,101

Dividends receivable   212,938    36,130 
           
    7,554,484    4,762,948 

 

a)Impairment

 

The Company tests the recoverable amounts of goodwill arising from business combination transactions annually. Property, plant and equipment and definite life intangible assets, that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable (Note 13).

 

b)Guarantees

Cosan’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only to subsidiaries (Note 14).

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company and its subsidiaries will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled with cash payments or other financial assets. The Company and its subsidiaries manage liquidity risk by ensuring, as much as possible, the availability of sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations due, under normal and stress situations, without causing unacceptable losses or risking the Company’s and its subsidiaries reputation.

 

The Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities classified by due date (contracted undiscounted cash flows basis) are as follows:

 

   September 30, 2015  December 31, 2014
   Up to 1 year  1 - 2 years  3 - 5 years  More than 5 years  Total  Total

Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates – will affect the Cosan’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. 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 Management Committee. Generally, the Company seeks to apply hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss.

 

a)Foreign exchange risk

i.Sensitivity analysis on changes in foreign exchange rates

 

The probable scenario was defined based on the U.S. Dollar market rates as at September 30, 2015, which determines the fair values of the derivatives at that date. Stressed scenarios (positive and negative effects, before tax effects) were defined based on changes of a 25% and 50% to the U.S. Dollar exchange rates used in the probable scenario.

 

Based on the financial instruments denominated in U.S. Dollars at September 30, 2015 the Company performed a sensitivity analysis by increasing and decreasing the exchange rate for R$/US$ by 25% and 50%. The probable scenario considers the estimated exchange rates at the due date of the transactions for the companies with functional currency Real (positive and negative, before tax effects), as follows:

 

   Exchange rate sensitivity analysis (R$/US$)
   September   Scenario
   30, 2015  Probable  25%  50%  -25%  -50%
At September 30, 2015   3.9729    3.9729    4.9661    5.9594    2.9797    1.9865 

 

Considering the above scenario the profit or loss would be impacted as follows:

 

       Variation scenario
Instrument  Risk factor   Probable    25%   50%   -25%   -50%
Cash and cash equivalents  USD fluctuation   132,391    33,098    66,196    (33,098)   (66,196)

  and interest derivatives(i)    CDI fluctuation   2,877,281    1,140,260    2,280,520    (1,140,260)   (2,280,520)
Loans, borrowings                            
  and debentures  USD fluctuation   (6,775,710)   (1,693,928)   (3,387,855)   1,693,928    3,387,855

Impacts on profit or loss      83,915    20,979    41,958    (20,979)   (41,958)

  

(i)For sensitivity analysis, it’s only considered exchange rate swaps.
