1.Background information

 

Lavoro Limited is Cayman Island exempted company incorporated on August 22, 2022.

 

Lavoro Limited is a public company listed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and its shares are traded on Nasdaq Global Select Market under ticker symbol “LVRO”.

 

Lavoro Limited (“Lavoro” and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) is one of the main agricultural input distribution platforms in Latin America, with relevant agricultural input distribution operations in Brazil and Colombia, and an early stage agricultural input trading company in Uruguay. Also, as a result of a verticalization strategy, the Group produces agricultural biological and special fertilizers products through its own facilities. The Group offers farmers a complete portfolio of products and services with the goal of helping farmer customers succeed by providing multi-channel support.

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Group is controlled by investment funds, managed by general partners which are ultimately controlled by Patria Investments Limited (the “Parent” or “Patria”), a manager of alternative assets with its shares listed on the NASDAQ.

 

(a)The SPAC Transaction

 

On September 14, 2022, Lavoro and TPB Acquisition Corporation I (“TPB Acquisition Corp.”), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by The Production Board LLC, signed an agreement pursuant to which they entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") that resulted in Lavoro becoming a U.S. publicly listed company on the NASDAQ Global Market.

 

The SPAC Transaction was approved at an extraordinary general meeting of TPB Acquisition Corp’s shareholders on February 22, 2023.

 

On February 28, 2023, as a result of the SPAC Transaction Lavoro and TPB Acquisition Corp consummated a corporate reorganization, as further explained below, pursuant to which (i) Lavoro Agro Limited’s shareholders contributed their shares in Lavoro Agro Limited to Lavoro in exchange of Lavoro’s shares at a pre-determined exchange ratio, becoming Lavoro’s controlling shareholders (ii) TPB Acquisition Corp’s shareholders contributed the net assets of TPB Acquisition Corp, which primarily consisted of cash and marketable securities held in the trust account and certain public and private warrants liabilities in exchange of Lavoro’s shares, becoming Lavoro’s non-controlling shareholders.

 

See Note 19 for further information.

 

(b)Corporate reorganizations

 

  12

 

 

 

 

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

The Group’s operations include the operations of the following entities (i) Lavoro Agro Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries (“Lavoro Holding”) which was incorporated in 2017 and is domiciled in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, (ii) Crop Care Holding S.A., and its subsidiaries (“Crop Care”) which was incorporated in 2018 and is domiciled in the city of São Paulo, Brazil and (iii) Lavoro Colombia S.A.S. and its subsidiaries (“Lavoro Colombia”) which was incorporated in 2021 and is domiciled in the city of Bogotá, Colombia.

 

In January 2023, as part of the SPAC Transaction a corporate reorganization completed whereby Lavoro Brazil, Crop Care and Lavoro Colombia were contributed to, and became subsidiaries of Lavoro Agro Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability which was incorporated on November 21, 2021, to become the holding company of all the operations of the Group.

 

As mentioned above, following the consummation of the SPAC Transaction Lavoro became the parent company of Lavoro Agro Limited and the holding company of all the operations of the Group.

 

(c)The Group’s business

 

The Group initiated its operations in 2017 and has expanded mainly through mergers and acquisitions in the distribution of agricultural inputs such as crop protection products, fertilizers, seeds and specialty inputs (foliar fertilizers, biologicals, adjuvants and organominerals) and its production through its proprietary portfolio of products under the crop care segment.

 

Through Crop Care, the Group operates as an importer of post-patent agricultural inputs and producer of specialties products through its own factories manufacturing plants. The inputs produced are delivered through the Group’s own distribution channels and by means of direct sales to customers.

 

The Group operates in Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay in the agricultural input distribution market through its own stores and sells agricultural inputs and products, in particular fertilizers, seeds, and pesticides. The Group’s customers are rural producers that operate in the production of cereals, mainly soybeans and corn, in addition to cotton, citrus and fruit and vegetable crops, among others.

 

Seasonality

 

Agribusiness is subject to a relevant seasonality throughout the year, especially due to the crop cycles that depend on specific weather conditions. Operations, especially in Brazil, have unique weather conditions compared to other countries producing agricultural commodities, making it possible to harvest two to three crops in the same area per year. Thus, considering that the activities of the Group’s customers are directly related to crop cycles, which are seasonal in nature, revenues and cash flows from sales may also be substantially seasonal.

 

The sale of our products is dependent upon planting and growing seasons, which vary from year to year, and are expected to result in both highly seasonal patterns and substantial fluctuations in quarterly sales and profitability. Demand for our products is typically strongest between October and December, with a second period of strong demand between January and March. The seasonality of

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

agricultural inputs demand results in our sales volumes and net sales typically being the highest during the period between September to February and our working capital and total debt requirements typically being the highest just after the end of this period.

 

For this reason, as a result of soybean crop season which is ongoing as of March 31, there is an increased amount of trade receivables and trade payables outstanding, which will be settled between April and May.

 

(d)Other relevant events

 

·Acquisitions

 

The Group performed several business acquisitions during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2023. Total consideration for the acquisitions completed during the period was R$268,157 which includes cash, amounts payable in installments and issuance of shares. The acquisitions are further described in Note 18.

 

·Ongoing armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine

 

As a result of the current geopolitical tensions and conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the recent recognition by Russia of the independence of the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbas region of Ukraine, the governments of the United States, the European Union, Japan and other jurisdictions have recently announced the imposition of sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia, Belarus and the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as enhanced export controls on certain products and industries. These and any additional sanctions and export controls, as well as any counter responses by the governments of Russia or other jurisdictions, could adversely affect, directly or indirectly, the global supply chain, with negative implications on the availability and prices of agricultural commodities and raw materials (including petrol, which would affect the price of agricultural inputs), energy prices, and Group’s customers, as well as the global financial markets and financial services industry and the global supply chain in general.

 

From a supply point of view, Brazil is highly dependent on fertilizers imports, and Russia and Belarus hold a market share in Brazilian soil fertilizer imports of approximately 26% to 30%, respectively (a share which is higher for potash-based products). The Group currently buy all of Group’s fertilizers from suppliers based in Brazil, but most of Group’s fertilizer suppliers conduct or have conducted imports, to some degree, from sources in Russia and Belarus. Fertilizers represented approximately 19% of Group’s net revenues in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2023 (20% of Group’s net revenues nine-month period ended March 31, 2022). In addition, fertilizer prices, which had already risen before the conflict, have continued to rise and have led producers to delay purchase negotiations. Despite such supply risk, the Group does not expect material shortages of fertilizers.

 

The Group does not believe that this will cause any material adverse effects on Group’s business during the next crop year, given that the Group has already delivered substantially all soy and corn fertilizer for the crop year.

2.Significant accounting policies

 

(a)Basis for preparation of the unaudited interim condensed combined consolidated financial statements -Predecessor method

 

Lavoro became the Group’s legal holding company through the corporate reorganization described in Note 1 (b). Such corporate reorganization was recorded at book value since it is a transaction under common control.

 

Under IFRS there is no specific guidance applicable to business combinations of entities under common control, as IFRS 3, excludes from its scope business combinations between such entities.

 

Due to the lack of specific guidance the Group has stablished an accounting policy as required by IAS 8 — Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. In doing so, the Group considered guidance of other standards-setting bodies that use a similar conceptual framework to develop accounting standards as well as the accounting practices of entities subject to those standards such as the United States of America and the United Kingdom.

 

As a result, the Group accounted for the corporate reorganizations using the predecessor method of accounting, and the combined consolidated financial statements are presented “as if” the historical combined consolidated operations of Lavoro Brazil, Crop Care and Lavoro Colombia were the predecessor of Lavoro. Under the predecessor method, the historical operations of the Group prior to the corporate reorganizations are deemed to be those Lavoro. Thus, these consolidated financial statements reflect:

 

·the historical operating results and financial position of Lavoro Brazil, Crop Care and Lavoro Colombia on a combined basis prior to the corporate reorganizations

 

·the consolidated results of the Lavoro and Lavoro Agro Limited following the corporate reorganization, and Lavoro Merger Sub II Limited following the SPAC Transaction

 

·the assets and liabilities of Lavoro Brazil, Crop Care and Lavoro Colombia at their historical cost; and

 

·Lavoro’s earnings per share for all periods presented. The number of ordinary shares issued by Lavoro, as a result of the corporate reorganization is reflected retroactively, for purposes of calculating earnings per share in all prior periods presented;

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and for the three and nine-month period ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Group has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. The Directors consider that there are no material

 

  15

 

 

 

 

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

uncertainties that may cast significant doubt over this assumption. They have formed a judgement that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and not less than 12 months from the end of the reporting period.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for financial assets and financial liabilities (including commodity forward contracts and derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual combined financial statements as of June 30, 2022.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian Reais (“BRL” or “R$”), which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. All amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand (R$000), except when otherwise indicated.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and for the three and nine-month period ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on June 1, 2023.

 

(b)New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual combined financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

 

Certain amendments apply for the first time in 2022 and 2023, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from some of its trade receivables in the amount of R$110,219 as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Group also transferred trade receivables to the FIAGRO in the amount of R$159,786. There was no trade receivables transferred as of June 30, 2022.

 

As the Group has retained the risks and rewards of ownership, these amounts were not derecognized from trade receivables. Consequently, the liability resulting from these operations is recorded, respectively, as borrowings (note 15) and obligations to FIAGRO quota holders (note 16).

The Group considers that assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost, have a carrying value approximate to their fair value and, therefore, information on their fair values is not presented.

 

(a)Hierarchy of fair value

 

The Group uses various methods to measure and determine fair value (including market approaches and income or cost approaches) and to estimate the value that market participants would use to price the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed within the following fair value hierarchy levels:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active, liquid and visible markets, for identical assets and liabilities that are readily available at the measurement date;

 

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and

 

Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

 

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

 

All financial instruments accounted for at fair value are classified as level 2, except for the Warranty liability wich is classified as level 1. On March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, there were no changes in

 

  27

 

 

 

 

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

the fair value methodology of the financial instruments and, therefore, there were no transfers between levels.

 

7.Financial and capital risk management

 

(a)Considerations on risk factors that may affect the business of the Group

 

The Group is exposed to several market risk factors that might impact its business. The Group’s board of directors is responsible for monitoring these risk factors, as well as establishing policies and procedures to address them. The Group’s risk management structure considers the size and complexity of its activities, which allows for a better understanding of how such risks could impact Group’s strategy through committees and other internal meetings.

 

Currently, the Group is focused on action plans relating to risks that could have a significant impact on its strategic goals, including those required by applicable regulations. To efficiently manage and mitigate these risks, its risk management structure conducts risk identification and assessments to prioritize the risks that are key to pursuing potential opportunities that may prevent value from being created or that may compromise existing value, with the possibility of impacting its results, capital, liquidity, customer relationships and/or reputation.

 

The Group’s risk management strategies were developed to mitigate and/or reduce the financial market risks which it is exposed to, which are as follows:

 

credit risk

 

liquidity risk

 

capital risk

 

interest rate risk

 

exchange rate risk

 

commodity price risk in barter transactions

 

(b)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial losses if a customer or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to fulfill its contractual obligations, which arise mainly from the Group’s trade receivables. The Group maintains short-term investments and derivatives with financial institutions approved by its management according to objective criteria for diversification of such risk.

 

The Group seeks to mitigate its credit risk related to trade receivables by setting forth credit limits for each counterparty based on the analysis of its credit management process. Such credit exposure determination is performed considering the qualitative and quantitative information of each counterparty. The Group also focuses on the diversification of its portfolio and monitors different solvency and liquidity indicators of its counterparties. In addition, primarily for receivables in installments, the Group monitors the balance of allowances for expected credit losses. (see Note 5)

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

The main strategies on credit risks management are listed below:

 

·creating credit approval policies and procedures for new and existing customers.

 

·extending credit to qualified customers through a review of credit agency reports, financial statements and/or credit references, when available.

 

·reviewing existing customer accounts every twelve months based on the credit limit amounts.

 

·evaluating customer and regional risks.

 

·obtaining guarantees through the endorsement of rural producer notes (“CPR”), which give physical ownership of the relevant agricultural goods in the event of the customer’s default.

 

·establishing credit approval for suppliers in case of payments in advance.

 

·setting up provisions using the lifetime expected credit loss method considering all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. Receivables are categorized based on the number of overdue days and/or a customer’s credit risk profile. Estimated losses on receivables are based on known troubled accounts and historical losses. Receivables are considered to be in default and are written off against the allowance for credit losses when it is probable that all remaining contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

 

·requiring minimum acceptable counterparty credit ratings from financial counterparties.

 

·setting limits for counterparties or credit exposure; and

 

·developing relationships with investment-grade counterparties.

 

  29

 

 

 

 

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

The current credit policy sets forth credit limits for customers based on credit score analysis made by the Group’s credit management area. Such score is determined considering the qualitative and quantitative information related to each customer, resulting in a rating classification and a level of requirement of guarantees as follows:

 

            % Of guarantees required on sales
Credit rating   % Customers   Risk classification   Medium-sized farmers (i)   Other
AA & A   18%   Very small   80-90%   0%
B   49%   Medium   100%   30%
C & D   15%   High   100%   60%
Simplified   18%   Small farmers   N/A   N/A

 

(i)Medium-sized farmers ranging between 100 and 10,000 hectares in planted acreage that are typically not serviced directly by agricultural input producers.

 

For Colombia there is a similar credit scoring process, however, guarantees are not required based on credit ratings but instead based on qualitative factors such as relationships and past experiences with customers.

 

Maximum exposure to credit risk as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022:

 

    March 31, 2023   June 30, 2022
         
         
Trade receivables (current and non-current)    4,740,449    1,834,353
Advances to suppliers    222,064    383,257
         
    4,962,513   2,217,610

 

(c)Liquidity risk

 

The Group defines liquidity risk as the risk of financial losses if it is unable to comply with its payment obligations in connection with financial liabilities settled in cash or other financial assets in a timely manner as they become due. The Group’s approach to managing this risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash available to settle its obligations without incurring losses or affecting the operations. Management is ultimately responsible for managing liquidity risk, which relies on a liquidity risk management model to manage funding requirements and liquidity in the short, medium and long term.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

The Group’s cash position is monitored by its senior management, through management reports and periodic performance meetings. The Group also manages its liquidity risk by maintaining reserves, bank credit facilities and other borrowing facilities deemed appropriate, through ongoing monitoring of forecast and actual cash flows, as well as through the combination of maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

 

The following maturity analysis of the Group’s financial liabilities and gross settled derivative financial instruments contracts (for which the cash flows are settled simultaneously) is based on the expected undiscounted contractual cash flows from the year end date to the contractual maturity date:

 

   March 31, 2023

(d)Capital risk

 

The Group manages its capital risk through its leverage policy to ensure its ability to continue as a going concern and to maximize the return of its stakeholders by optimizing its balances of debt and net investment.

 

The Group’s main financial leverage indicator as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022 is presented below:

 

    March 31, 2023   June 30, 2022
         
Borrowings    1,405,202   710,552
Payables for the acquisition of subsidiaries   255,002   164,431
Obligations to FIAGRO quota holders   147,119   -
Warrant liabilities   32,459   -
Liability for FPA Shares   146,674   -
(-) Cash equivalents    (739,085)   (254,413)
(-) Restricted cash   (147,003)   (1,344)
         
Net debt   1,100,368   619,226

 

The Group's strategy is to maintain the net debt up to 2.2 times the adjusted EBITDA.

 

(e)Interest rate risk

 

Fluctuations in interest rates, such as the Brazilian interbank deposit rate, which is an average of interbank overnight rates in Brazil, and Colombian investment rate, which is an average of interbank and financial corporation loans, may have an effect on the cost of the Group’s borrowings and new borrowings.

 

The Group periodically monitors the effects of market changes in interest rates on its financial instruments portfolio. Funds raised by the Group are used to finance working capital on each crop season and are substantially raised at short term conditions.

 

As of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Group had no derivative financial instruments used to mitigate interest rate risks.

 

(i) Sensitivity analysis – exposure to interest rates

 

To mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk, the Group uses different scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity of variations transactions impacted by the CDI Rate and IBR Rate. The “probable” scenario represents the impact on booked amounts considering the most current (February 2023) CDI Rate and IBR Rate and reflects management’s best estimates. The other scenarios consider an appreciation of 25% and 50% in such market interest rates, before taxes, which represents a significant change in the probable scenario for sensitivity purposes.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

The following table sets forth the potential impacts on the statements of profit or loss:

 

  As of March 31, 2023
      Expense on profit or loss
  Current Index   Probable   Possible (+25%)   Remote (+50%)
               
Floating rate borrowings in Brazil CDI Rate (13.75%)    189,474    236,842   283,211
Floating rate borrowings in Colombia IBR Rate (12.49%)    9,374    11,718    14,062
               
       198,848    248,560    297,273

 

(f)Exchange rate risk

 

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from its operations related to agricultural inputs, mainly related to the U.S. dollar, which significantly impacts global prices of agricultural inputs in general. Although all purchases and sales are conducted locally, certain purchase and sales contracts are indexed to the U.S. dollar.

 

The Group’s current commercial department seeks to reduce this exposure. Its marketing department is responsible for managing pricing tables and commercial strategies to seek a natural hedge between purchases and sales and to match currency and terms to the greatest extent possible.

 

The Group’s corporate treasury department is responsible for monitoring the forecasted cash flow exposure to the U.S. dollar, and whenever any mismatches as to terms and currencies are identified, non-deliverable forwards derivative financial instruments are purchased to offset these exposures, and therefore fulfill internal policy requirements. U.S. dollar exposure is managed by macro hedging through the analysis of the forecasted cash flow for the next two harvests. The Group may not have any leveraged derivative position.

 

The Group’s exchange rate exposure monitoring committee meets periodically across the commercial, treasury and corporate business departments. There are also committees on purchase valuation and business intelligence for the main goods traded by the Group.

 

The Group does not adopt hedge accounting. Therefore, gains and losses from derivative operations are fully recognized in the statements of profit or loss, as disclosed in Note 27.

 

(i) Sensitivity analysis – exposure to exchange rates

 

To gauge its exposure to exchange rate risk, the Group uses different scenarios to evaluate its asset and liability positions in foreign currency and their potential effects on its results.

 

The “probable” scenario below represents the impact on carrying amounts of the most current (April 2023) market rates for the U.S. dollar (R$5.00 to US$ 1.00). This analysis assumes that all other

 

  33

 

 

 

 

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

variables, particularly interest rates, remain constant. The other scenarios consider the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes, which represents a significant change in the probable scenario for sensitivity purposes.

 

The following table set forth the potential impacts on the statements of profit or loss:

 

  As of March 31, 2023
      Effect on profit or loss and
  Current Index    Probable   Possible (+25%)   Remote (+50%)
               
Trade receivables in U.S. Dollars  5.0007   (5,040)    74,019    153,078
Trade payables in U.S. Dollars  5.0007    5,946   (87,322)   (180,589)
Borrowings in U.S. Dollars  5.0007    3,849   (56,527)   (116,903)
               
Net impacts on commercial operations      4,755   (69,830)   (144,414)
               
Derivative financial instruments  5.0007   (3,797)    55,762    115,321
               
Total impact, net of derivatives      958   (14,068)   (29,093)

 

(g)Commodity prices risk in barter transactions

 

In all barter transactions mentioned in Note 10, the Group uses future commodity market price as the reference to value the quantities of commodities included in the forward contracts to be delivered by the customers as payment for the Group’s products into currency. The Group uses prices quoted by commodity trading companies to value the grain purchase contracts from farmers. Lavoro enters into grain sale contracts to sell those same grains to trading companies, at the same price of the purchased contracts with farmers. As such, the Group manages its exposure to those commodity prices by entering into the purchase and sale contracts at similar conditions.

 

These transactions are conducted by a corporate department which manages and controls such contracts as well as the compliance to Group’s policies.

 

(i) Sensitivity analysis – exposure to commodity price

 

To gauge its exposure to commodity price risk, the Group uses different scenarios to evaluate its asset and liability positions on commodity forward contracts in soybean and corn and their potential effects on its results.

 

The “current risk” scenario below represents the impact on carrying amounts as of March 31, 2023, with assumptions described in Note 10. The other scenarios consider the appreciation of main assumptions at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes, which represents a significant change in the probable scenario for sensitivity purposes.

(h)Derivative financial investments

 

The Group is exposed to market risks mainly related to fluctuations in exchange rates and commodity prices. The Group maintains operations with financial instruments of protection to mitigate your exposure to these risks. The Group has been implementing and improving the internal controls to identify and measure the effects of transactions with trading companies and with financial institutions, so that such transactions are captured, recognized, and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The Group does not carry out investments of a nature speculative in derivatives or any other risk assets.

 

Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. Trading derivatives are classified as current assets or liabilities.

 

To hedge commodity prices, the Group enters into a future commodity sale agreement with a trading company. The Group limits exposure to commodity prices by swapping liabilities with trading houses and hedge foreign exchange exposure through futures and derivatives.

(ii)Includes: a) credits arising from the Brazilian government’s taxes charged for the social integration program (PIS) and the social security program (COFINS), and Brazilian corporate income tax and social contributions. These credits, which are recognized as current assets, will be used by the Group to offset other Federal taxes; b) withholding and overpaid taxes which can be used to settle overdue or future payable federal taxes; c) withholding income tax on cash equivalents which can be used to offset taxes owed at the end of the calendar year, in case of taxable profit, or are carried forward in case of tax loss; and d) During 2022/2023 the Group obtained the benefit of deducting the ICMS benefit explained in item (i) in the income tax calculation. This was applied for the prior periods and generated an income tax credit recorded in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2023.

 

10.Commodity forward contracts – Barter transactions

 

Through barter transactions, the Group sells agricultural inputs (seeds, crop protection products, fertilizers) in exchange for future delivery of grains and oilseeds (soybeans and corn) at harvest. The mechanics involve signing a contract with the client, specifying the volume of commodities to be delivered in exchange for our input products. The client's obligation is to deliver the agreed-upon commodities as payment, serving as collateral.

Management monitors the calculations of this ratio periodically in order to verify indications of non-compliance with the contractual terms. On March 31, 2023, there were no indications the Group will not be able to comply with this ratio as of the next measurement period.

 

16.Obligations to FIAGRO quota holders

 

On July 22, 2022, the Group entered into an agreement to transfer receivables in the aggregate amount of R$160,000 to FIAGRO, a structured entity, as defined by IFRS 10, established under Brazilian law designed specifically for investing in agribusiness credit rights receivables. The acquisition of such receivables by the FIAGRO investment fund enables the Group to anticipate the receipt of funds from such receivables.

 

The Group holds all subordinated quotas issued by the FIAGRO, representing approximately 5% of the total outstanding quotas in an aggregate amount of R$8,100 while other parties hold all senior and mezzanine quotas, representing approximately 95% of the total outstanding quotas, which includes certain of Patria’s related parties that acquired the mezzanine quotas of FIAGRO in an aggregate amount of R$56,000. Under the terms of the FIAGRO, we are not liable in case there is a default on the credit rights acquired by the fund, but any such default may adversely affect our stake in FIAGRO quotas. Our agreement to assign certain credit rights to FIAGRO will expire when all assigned receivables have been liquidated.

 

The bylaws of the FIAGRO were established by the Group at their inception, and grant the Group significant decision-making authority over these entities, such as the right to determine which credits rights are eligible to be acquired by the FIAGRO.

 

In addition, senior and mezzanine quota holders receive interest at a benchmark rate of return ranging from the CDI rate + 2.45% per year up to the CDI rate + 8.0% per year. Residual returns from the FIAGRO fund, if any, are paid on the subordinated quotas, which do not bear interest and are not otherwise entitled to any pre-established rate of return. Senior and mezzanine quotas amortize

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

annually over a three-year period after an initial 24-month grace period, whereas subordinated quotas amortize at the end of the fifth annual period.

 

In accordance with IFRS 10, we concluded we control FIAGRO and, therefore, it is consolidated in our financial statements. The senior and mezzanine quotas are accounted for as a financial liability under “Obligations to FIAGRO quota holders” and the remuneration paid to senior and mezzanine quota holders is recorded as interest expense.

 

17.Payables for the acquisition of subsidiaries

 

The purchase agreements for acquisition of subsidiaries include payments to the seller in the event of successful collection, after the acquisition date of outstanding receivables and certain tax credits subject to administrative proceedings. See Note 18.

 

Consideration paid during the nine-month period March 31, 2023, net of cash acquired, was R$121,410 which includes installment payments for acquisitions completed in previous years in the amount of R$65,242 (R$213,212 on June 30, 2022, which includes payments for acquisitions made in previous years in the amount of R$140,346). All these payments are included in the “Acquisition of subsidiary, net of cash acquired” in the cash flows.

19.Accounting considerations related to the SPAC Transaction

 

On February 28, 2023, Lavoro and TPB Acquisition Corp. consummated a capital reorganization transaction as described in note 1.b.

 

The SPAC Transaction was accounted for as a capital reorganization in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-based Payment. Under this method of accounting, TPB Acquisition Corp. is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and Lavoro as the accounting “acquirer”. The net assets of TPB Acquisition Corp were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The SPAC Transaction, which is not within the scope of IFRS 3, since TPB Acquisition Corp. did not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to IFRS 3, was accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 — Share-Based Payments, or IFRS 2. Any excess of fair value of Lavoro’s ordinary shares issued over the fair value of TPB Acquisition Corp identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred.

 

Accordingly, the Group recorded a listing expense as follows:

 

  As of February 27, 2023
Deemed cost of shares issued to TPB Acquisition Corp shareholders (i) 893,613
Less: Net assets of TPB Acquisition Corp at historical cost (574,059)
Listing expense 319,554

  52

 

 

 

 

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

(i)Estimated fair value determined based on the opening quoted market price of $9.55 per share as of March 1, 2023 and foreign exchange rate reported by the Brazilian Central Bank of $1.00 to R$5.21.

 

Warrants

 

TPB Acquisition Corp. issued 10,086,606 public and private warrants to certain of its shareholders and its maturity is February 28, 2028. Such public and private warrants were assumed by Lavoro as a result of the SPAC Transaction. The aggregate fair value of the private and public warrants as of March 31, 2023 is R$32,459, and the warrants are reported in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as warrant liabilities under non-current liabilities. For both the three-month and nine-month period ending March 31, 2023, the Group recognized a gain of R$7,744 related to changes to the fair value of public warrants and private warrants. The fair value of the warrants was calculated based on the listed market price of such warrants.

 

Vesting founder shares and unvested founder shares

 

As part of the SPAC Transaction certain TPB Acquisition Corp.’s shareholders were issued a number of Lavoro ordinary shares tin exchange of TPB Acquisition Corp.’s Class B Ordinary Share that they held prior to the completion of the SPAC Transaction, of which (i) Two-thirds (3,006,050) of such Lavoro ordinary share were deemed to be vesting founder share, and (ii) one-third (1,503,025) of such Lavoro ordinary share were issued to those shareholders.

 

Vesting founder shares will be subject to certain vesting conditions. If at any time during the 3-year period following the close of the SPAC Transaction, for over any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period, the closing share price of Lavoro ordinary share is greater than or equal to:

 

- $12.50, then one-half of the vesting founder shares will vest; and

 

- $15.00, then an additional one-half of the vesting founder shares will vest.

 

Lavoro’s ordinary share price targets will be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting Lavoro’s ordinary shares. Any vesting founder shares that will not vest during the 3-year period following the closing of the SPAC Transaction will be forfeited after the 3-year period.

 

The vesting founder shares are considered equity classified contingent considerations under IFRS 2 and are reported as additional paid-in capital under equity.

 

In order to determine the fair value of the Vesting Founder Shares as of the closing of the SPAC Transaction, a Monte Carlo simulation was used, where the future stock price was modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and volatility, where volatility was based on quoted prices of comparable companies. A volatility rate of 54.4% and a risk-free rate of 4.51% were used in the model. Value per share was $9.53 and $8.53 for the shares vesting at $12.50 and $15.00, respectively. In order to determine the fair value of the Unvested Founder Shares as of the closing of the SPAC Transaction, the shares were discounted using a Finnerty put model, assuming a risk-free rate of 4.88%, volatility rate of 54.4%, and a restricted term of 3 months (the estimated time to complete a registration statement). Value per share was determined to be $10.08.

 

Forward share purchase agreements

 

TPB Acquisition Corp. entered into certain Forward Share Purchase Agreements with certain shareholders of TPB Acquisition Corp., in which TPB Acquisition Corp. agreed to purchase, in the

 

  53

 

 

 

 

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)

 

 

aggregate, up to 2,830,750 of TPB Acquisition Corp.’s Class A Ordinary Shares held by those equity holders, either after 24 months after closing of the SPAC Transaction or after meeting certain criteria as defined in the Forward Share Purchase Agreements. Such Forward Share Purchase Agreements were assumed by the Lavoro, whereby Lavoro agreed to purchase the same number of Lavoro’s ordinary shares under the same conditions as defined in those Forward Share Purchase Agreements. Lavoro placed a designated balance of funds into an escrow account at the closing of the SPAC Transaction for the purpose acquiring such shares.

 

Lavoro s Ordinary Shares subject to the Forward Share Purchase Agreement are considered financial liabilities and are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as Liability for FPA Shares in non-current liabilities at the amounts deposited in the escrow account. The designated balance of funds in the escrow account is reported in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as restricted cash. The amount of Liability for FPA Shares and the restricted cash was R$146,674 as of March 31, 2023.

Other capital reserves

Share based payment

 

Accounting policy for share based payment

 

Equity-settled transactions

 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. That cost is recognized in personnel expenses (Note 26), together with a corresponding increase in equity (other capital reserves), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

 

Service conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions.

 

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

 

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the grant date fair value of the unmodified award, provided the original vesting terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as at the date of modification, is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss.

 

Stock Option Plan (“SOP”)

 

On August 17, 2022, the Group approved the Lavoro Agro Holding S.A. Long-Term Incentive Policy (the “Lavoro Share Plan”).

The Lavoro Share Plan has a term of five years: if the Market Conditions have not been satisfied within this period, all options granted under the Lavoro Share Plan will be extinguished, with no further payment or incentive obligation remaining due by Lavoro. The consummation of the SPAC Transaction (see note 1) did not satisfy the Market Conditions.

 

As of February 28, 2023, the shareholders of Lavoro approved the Lavoro Share Plan. As a result, Lavoro reserved for issuance the number of ordinary shares equal to the number of Lavoro Share Plan Shares under the Lavoro Share Plan, as adjusted in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, in an amount of 1,663,405 ordinary shares.

 

The exercise price of the stock options is equal to the options price agreed with the employee in the contracts, representing the amount of R$1 monetarily adjusted until the date on which the liquidity event occurs.

 

The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant considering the terms and conditions using the Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the share options were granted. The model also takes into account historical and expected dividends, and the share price volatility of the Lavoro.

 

The Group will settle these awards through equity instruments and accounts for the Lavoro Share Plan as an equity-settled plan.

There were no cancellations or modifications to the awards in 2022/2023.

 

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the period was R$0.56 per option. The significant data included in the model were: weighted average share price of R$3.10 on the grant date, exercise price presented above, volatility of 33.88%, no dividend yield, an expected option life of three years and a risk-free annual interest rate of 12.49%.

 

Earnings per share

 

Earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit (loss) for the period attributable to net investment of the parent/equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares available during the fiscal year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares, presuming the conversion of all the potential diluted common shares.

 

The number of ordinary shares issued by Lavoro, as a result of the corporate reorganization is reflected retroactively, for purposes of calculating earnings per share in all prior periods presented.

The table below show data used in calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to the net investment of the parent/equity holders of the parent:

 

  Three-month period ended March 31, (Thousands)   Nine-month period ended March 31, (Thousands)
  2023   2022   2023   2022
Weighted average ordinary shares of Lavoro  113,602   113,602    113,602   113,602
Effects of dilution from:              
Stock Options (i) 1,606   -   1,606   -
Number of ordinary shares adjusted for the effect of dilution 115,208   113,602   115,208   113,602
               
               
Profit (loss) for the period attributable to net investment of the parent/equity holders of the parent (387,547)   66,604   (178,237)   187,643
               
Basic earnings (loss) per share (3.41)   0.58   (1.57)   1.65
Diluted earnings (loss) per share (3.41)   0.58   (1.57)   1.65

 

(i) Based on the numbers of shares reserved by Lavoro Limited to the Lavoro Share Plan, as explained above.

 

The Group reported a loss for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2023, accordingly the ordinary shares related to the stock option plan have a non-dilutive effect and therefore were not considered in the total number of shares outstanding to determine the diluted earnings (loss) per share.

 

All public and private warrants are out of the money as of March 31, 2023; therefore, the approximately 6,012,099 and 4,071,507 public and private warrants, respectively, were not included in the calculation of the diluted earnings (loss) per share. Similarly, the 3,060,662 Founder Shares were not considered in the calculation of the diluted earnings (loss) per share due to the Group’s market share price.
