Provisionally priced commodities sales - The Company is mainly exposed to iron ore and copper price risk. The determination of the final sales price for these commodities is based on the pricing period outlined in the sales contracts, typically occurring after the revenue recognition date. Consequently, the Company initially recognizes revenue using a provisional invoice. Subsequently, the receivables associated with provisionally priced products are measured at fair value through profit or loss (note 19). Any fluctuations in the value of these receivables are reflected in the Company's net operating revenue.

The sensitivity of the Company’s risk related to the final settlement of provisionally priced accounts receivables is detailed below:
