16 Loans and financing
Loans and financing are initially recognized
at fair value upon receipt of the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Below is a schedule
showing the Group’s loans and financing instruments by foreign and local currency. Local currency indicates loans denominated in
the functional currency of the borrower. All borrowings denominated in currencies other than the presentation currency (Brazilian Reais)
are translated to presentation currency each reporting period. Current amounts include accrued but unpaid interest at period-end. Premiums,
discounts and transaction costs are amortized to finance expense using the effective interest method. During the year, liability management
activities included early redemptions, tender offers, open market repurchases, in addition to scheduled principal amortization. These
transactions resulted in the settlement of various note series at premiums or discounts, with the corresponding gains or losses recognized
in finance expenses in the statement of income. There were no breaches of financial covenants during the reporting period.

16.1
Main Terms - Note Issuance
All
notes issued constitute unsecured obligations of the issuer and, in substance, share a uniform contractual structure. Interest is payable
semiannually, based on fixed rates applicable through their respective maturities, except where subject to an adjustment mechanism linked
to the achievement of sustainability targets.
In general, the notes provide for optional redemption at the issuer’s
discretion, typically subject to the payment of a premium calculated pursuant to a “make-whole” provision or, in the case
of originally high yield series, in accordance with customary call option provisions. With the exception of issuances of Pilgrim’s
Pride Corporation (PPC), which are senior to their operating subsidiaries, all notes rank pari passu with all existing and future senior
unsecured debt of the issuers.
Certain
senior notes issued incorporate sustainability-linked features, pursuant to which the coupon rate is subject to an increase if pre-established
greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction targets are not achieved as of the contractually defined observation dates. These provisions
apply to the 3.0% Notes due 2032, the 3.625% Notes due 2032, and the PPC 4.25% Notes due 2031. Compliance with the applicable performance
targets is assessed in accordance with the terms set forth in the respective indentures and is subject to verification by independent
third parties. The remaining notes, which do not include sustainability-linked features, follow the standard documentation applicable
to investment-grade issuances.
All
notes currently outstanding rank equally with the issuer’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and have priority
of payment over any present or future subordinated obligations.
16.2
Main Terms - Credit Facilities
Following
the recent reorganization of the Group’s debt issuance structure, JBS N.V. became a borrower under the Bank of Montreal revolving
credit facility (“BMO RCF”) and the JBS S.A. revolving credit facility (“JBS BR RCF”). Financial reporting and
the assessment of compliance with the respective covenants under both agreements are based on the consolidated financial statements. 16.3
Main Terms - Commercial Paper
On December 22, 2025 the Company notified the other parties of the
termination of its Commercial Paper program. Concurrently, JBS N.V., JBS USA Foods Group Holdings, Inc. and JBS USA Food Company Holdings
entered into a new $1 billion Commercial Paper program allowing issuances of up to 397 days. As of December 31, 2025 there were no issuances/borrowings
under the new program. The previous program had an outstanding balance of $202.1 million as of December 31, 2024.
Issuances
under these programs constitute unsecured obligations, have a maximum maturity of up to 397 days, and are recognized at amortized cost
within loans and borrowings, with the related financial charges recognized in profit or loss as finance expenses on an accrual basis.
16.4
Liability Management
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Group implemented a restructuring
of its debt issuance structure. On November 19, 2025, supplemental indentures were executed amending the indentures governing all outstanding
senior unsecured notes. Pursuant to such amendments, JBS N.V. replaced JBS USA as co-issuer, the parent guarantees previously provided
were released in accordance with the applicable fall-away provision, and the notes continued to be jointly issued by JBS N.V., JBS USA
Foods Group Holdings, Inc. and JBS Food Company Holdings.
In
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the debt profile was substantially impacted by early redemptions, tender offers and other
liability management transactions, which resulted in the settlement, repurchase or cancellation of certain series of notes, with the payment
of premiums or realization of discounts. Amounts paid above or below par value, as well as the related amortization or write-off of discounts,
premiums and financing costs, were recognized in finance expense or as gains on extinguishment of debt for the period.
16.5
Guarantees and contractual restrictions (“covenants”)
The
Group was in compliance with all of its financial covenant restrictions at December 31, 2025.
