RATIO ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION

 

a)Statement of financial position

 

The principal components of assets and liabilities at the end of each period are as follows:

 

   03-31-2026  12-31-2025  Variation
Assets  ThU.S.$  ThU.S.$  ThU.S.$
Current assets   4,771,188    4,393,731    377,457 
Non-current assets   17,157,463    16,911,032    246,431 
Total assets   21,928,651    21,304,763    2.93%

 

   03-31-2026  12-31-2025  Variation
Liabilities  ThU.S.$  ThU.S.$  ThU.S.$
Current liabilities   1,969,110    1,931,575    37,535 
Non-current liabilities   10,182,721    9,689,710    493,011 
Non–controlling interests   5,465    5,891    (426)
Equity attributable to owners of parent company   9,771,355    9,677,587    93,768 
Total net equity and liabilities   21,928,651    21,304,763    2.93%

 

As of March 31, 2026, total assets increased by MU.S.$ 624 compared to December 31, 2025, equivalent to a 2.93% increase. This variation was driven mainly by an increase in Cash and cash equivalents, Other financial assets, and Property, plant and equipment, due to the obtaining of new borrowings, and the valuation of derivative instruments entered into by Arauco to hedge exposure to foreign exchange risk in Brazilian real (BRL), all associated with the progress of the Sucuriú project.

 

In turn, total liabilities increased by MU.S.$ 531 mainly driven by an increase in financial liabilities, due to borrowings from financial institutions and an increase in lease liabilities, which was partially offset by lower accounts payable balances.

 

The main financial and operational indicators related to the statement of financial position as of the dates and for the periods indicated below are as follows:

 

Liquidity ratios  03-31-2026  12-31-2025
Current liquidity (current assets / current liabilities)   2.42    2.27 
Acid ratio ((current assets-inventories, biological assets) / current liabilities)   1.52    1.37 

 

Debt indicators  03-31-2026  12-31-2025
Debt to equity ratio (total liabilities / equity)   1.24    1.20 
Short-term debt to total debt (current liabilities / total liabilities)   0.16    0.17 
Long-term debt to total debt (non-current liabilities / total liabilities)   0.84    0.83 
           
    03-31-2026    03-31-2025 
Financial expenses coverage ratio (earnings before   0.36    0.66 
taxes + interest expense / interest expense)          

 

Activity ratio  03-31-2026  12-31-2025
Inventory turnover-time (cost of sales / inventories1 + current biological asset s1)   2.62    2.58 
Inventory turnover-time (excluding biological assets) (Cost of sales /inventories1)   3.04    3.06 
Inventory permanence-days (inventories1 + biological assets1) /cost of sales)   137.24    139.54 
Inventory permanence-days (excluding biological assets) (inventories1 / cost of sales)   118.26    117.69 

 

(1): Annual average.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the short-term debt to total debt ratio represented 16% of total liabilities (17% as of December 31, 2025).

 

Our financial expenses coverage ratio decreased from 0.66 to 0.36, mainly due to increase in the loss before income tax for the period ended March 31, 2026, compared to the loss before income tax for the same period of 2025.

b) Statement of profit or loss

 

Profit before income tax

 

We recorded a loss before income tax of approximately MU.S.$ (70) compared to a loss of approximately MU.S.$ (34) in the same period of 2025. The variation of MU.S.$ (36) is explained by the factors described in the following table:

Distribution and administrative expenses   (1)
Other income and expenses   11

2. MAIN SOURCES OF FINANCING

 

Arauco’s financing needs are mainly covered through the capital markets, with bond issuances and credits obtained from banks and financial institutions serving as the main sources of financing.

 

For short-term borrowing, Arauco follows a liquidity policy which indicates the amounts and institutions from which it can borrow according to several conditions defined in the policy.

 

In the case of long-term debt, corporate bond issuances in the local market and also in the international markets are used as sources of new resources.

 

Another source of long-term financing corresponds to borrowings from banks and financial institutions around the world.

 

3. MARKET SITUATION

 

Turnover for the first quarter of 2026 decreased by 3.4% compared to the same quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower average pulp prices.

 

Global pulp inventories have been trending downward since the last quarter of 2025, driven by a decline in short-fiber inventories, partially offset by an increase in long-fiber inventories. However, during the first months of 2026, the above trend has reversed and total inventories have begun to rise, driven by an increase in short-fiber inventories, partially offset by a decline in long-fiber inventories.

 

In China, during the first quarter of 2026, the pulp market was complex. The printing and writing paper industry saw a decline in demand, compounded by pressures on production costs. The tissue industry faced a challenging environment, characterized by oversupply and lower demand. Regarding pulp prices, long-fiber pulp prices declined mid-quarter, driven by increased supply from Europe and higher local production of long-fiber pulp. On the other hand, short-fiber prices rose throughout the quarter.

 

In Europe, we observed active demand for pulp during the first quarter of 2026, as a result of reduced pulp supply from other producers. The conflict in the Middle East has impacted the region through higher logistic costs and pressure on energy costs in the Tissue and printing and writing paper industries. Moreover, logistical disruptions have led to a reconfiguration of paper and pulp trade flows, disrupting the two-way exchange between Europe and the Middle East. In terms of prices, short-fiber pulp has shown increases throughout the quarter. This has resulted in rising costs for both the pulp and paper industries.

 

The textile pulp market saw strong demand and an upward trend in prices during the quarter. The conflict in the Middle East caused an increase in petrochemical product prices, which led to a rise in the price of polyester. In turn, this increase drove the prices of viscose and Lyocell upwards.

 

Production in the first quarter of 2026 decreased compared to the same period in 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, the scheduled annual maintenance of the Puerto Esperanza mill was carried out.

Wood Products Business

 

Sawn timber

 

In sawn timber, sales for the first quarter of 2026 were lower than in the prior period. Markets in general have experienced weak demand due to low economic growth and low construction activity. Sales were also affected by the war in the Middle East, making sales to that market impossible during March.

 

In the Remanufacturing segment, the market continues to face sluggish demand, driven by a decline in construction and renovation activity, a trend that has been persistent over the last quarter.

 

Plywood

 

Sales for the first quarter of 2026 were lower than in 2025, primarily affected by a decline in production during the summer due to reduced availability of pruned logs, and some markets have shown weaker demand compared to 2025.

 

Panels (MDF, PB, Melamine)

 

Sales during the first quarter of 2026, were higher compared to the same period in 2025, driven primarily by a recovery in demand from South American markets.

 

4. ANALYSIS OF CASH FLOW

 

The main components of cash flow in each period are as follows:

 

  

03-31-2026

ThU.S.$

 

03-31-2025

ThU.S.$

Positive (negative) Cash flow          
Net cash flows from (used in) operating activities   301,047    270,570 
           
Cash flows from (used in) financing activities:   586,009    (24,252)
 Obtaining and paying borrowings and bonds   594,513    (8,925)
 Payments of lease liabilities   (8,504)   (15,327)
           
Cash flows from (used in) investment activities:   (610,199)   (398,807)
Purchase and sale of property, plant and equipment   (464,731)   (290,665)
Purchase and sale of biological assets   (147,759)   (108,828)
Purchase and sale of intangible assets   (625)   (2,364)
Additions (disposals), investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates   1,219    503 
Dividends received   1,404    - 
Others   293    2,547 
Positive (negative) net cash flow   276,857    (152,489)

 

Our cash flows from operating activities showed a positive balance of MU.S.$ 301 for the current period, an increase of MU.S.$ 30 compared to the previous period (positive balance of MU.S.$ 271 for the same period in 2025), resulting mainly from lower disbursements for payments to suppliers.

 

The cash flows from financing activities showed a positive balance of MU.S.$ 586 for the current period, an increase of MU.S.$ 610 compared to the previous period (negative balance of MU.S.$ 24 for the same period in 2025). This was mainly due to higher funds from borrowings obtained, partially offset by lower cash outflows for loan repayments.

The cash flows from investing activities for the current period reflected a negative balance of MU.S.$ 610, representing a negative variation of MU.S.$ 211 compared to the same period in 2025 (which reported a negative balance of MU.S.$ 399 for the same period in 2025). This variation was primarily driven by higher payments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, and other non-current assets, driven by the Sucuriú project.

 

5. MARKET RISK ANALYSIS

 

In respect of the economic risks resulting from interest rate variations, the Company maintained, as of March 31, 2026, a ratio of fixed rate debt to total consolidated debt of approximately 93.1%, which we believe is consistent with industry standards.

 

Regarding variations in prices of pulp and forestry products, the Company does not participate in futures trading because of its low-cost structure for the industry keeps the risks from price fluctuations bounded.

 

The Company and most of its subsidiaries maintain their accounting records and prepare their financial statements in U.S. dollars. Most of their revenues (and accordingly accounts receivable) are denominated in U.S. dollars, and most financial liabilities are either denominated in U.S. dollars or are covered by exchange rate swaps. As a result, exposure to exchange rate fluctuations has decreased significantly.

 

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 include a detailed analysis of the risks associated with the business of Arauco (see Note 23).

The Company’s head office address is El Golf Avenue 150, 14th floor, Las Condes, Santiago, Chile.

 

Arauco is principally engaged in the production and sale of products related to the forestry and timber industries. Its main operations are focused on business areas of pulp and wood products.

Functional and Presentation Currency

 

Arauco and most of its subsidiaries determined the United States (“U.S.”) dollar as its functional currency since the majority of its revenues from sales of its products are derived from exports denominated in U.S. dollars, while their costs of sales are to a large extent related or indexed to the U.S. dollar.

 

For the pulp reportable segment, most of the sales are exports denominated in U.S. dollars and costs are mainly related to plantation costs which are settled in U.S. dollars.

 

For the wood reportable segment, although total sales include a mix of domestic and exports sales, prices of the products are established in U.S. dollars, which is also the case for the cost structure of the related raw materials.

 

In relation to the cost of sales, although labor and services costs are generally billed and paid in local currency, these costs are not as significant as the costs of raw materials, which are driven mainly by global markets and therefore, influenced mostly by the U.S. dollar.

 

The currency used to finance operations is mainly the U.S. dollar.

 

The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the U.S. dollar. Figures on these consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of rounded U.S. dollar (ThU.S.$).

Summary of significant accounting policies

 

a)Basis for preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements

 

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) and they represent the explicit and unreserved adoption of IFRS.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for biological assets and certain derivative financial instruments which are measured at revalued amounts or fair value at the end of each period as explained in the following significant accounting policies.

 

The interim consolidated statements of cash flows are presented using the direct method.

 

b)Critical accounting estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements, in accordance with IFRS, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts reported. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are considered to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management believes that the accounting policies below are the critical judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

 

- Biological assets

 

The recovery of forest plantations is based on discounted cash flow models which means that the fair value of biological assets is calculated using cash flows from continuing operations on a discounted basis, based on our sustainable forest management plans and the estimated growth of forests.

 

The measurement of the fair value of the biological assets is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our cash flow projections include significant judgments and assumptions relating to discount rates, estimated growth of the forests and sales margins. This valuation is performed on the basis of each identifiable farm block and for each type of tree. The main considerations used to calculate the valuation of forest plantations and a sensitivity analysis are presented in Note 20.

 

- Litigation and contingencies

 

Arauco and its subsidiaries are subject to certain litigation proceedings. Future impact on Arauco’s financial condition derived from such litigations is estimated by management, in collaboration with its legal advisors. Arauco applies judgment when interpreting the reports of its legal advisors who provide updated estimates of the legal contingencies at each reporting period and/or at each time a modification is determined to be necessary. For a description of current litigations see Note 18.

c)Consolidation

 

The interim consolidated financial statements include all entities over which Arauco has the power to direct the relevant financial and operating activities. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and up to the date that control ceases.

 

Specifically, a company controls an investee or subsidiary if, and only if, they have all of the following:

 

(a) power over the investee, i.e. the investor has existing rights which give it the ability to direct the relevant activities (the activities that significantly affect the investee's returns);

(b) exposure or rights to variable returns from involvement with the investee; and

(c) the ability to use power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.

 

When Arauco holds less than the majority of the voting rights in a company in which it participates, it nonetheless has the power over said company - when these voting rights are enough - to grant it in practice the ability to unilaterally direct said company's relevant activities. Arauco takes into account all facts and circumstances in order to assess if the voting rights in a company in which it participates are enough for granting it the power, including:

 

a) the size of the investor’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

b) potential voting rights held by the investor, other vote holders or other parties;

c) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

d) any additional facts and circumstances that indicate the investor has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.

 

The Company will reevaluate whether or not it holds control of a company in which participates if the facts and circumstances indicate that changes have occurred in one or more of the three elements of control mentioned above.

 

Consolidation of an investee shall begin from the date the investor obtains control of the investee and cease when the investor loses control of the investee. An entity includes the income and expenses of an acquired or sold subsidiary in the interim consolidated financial statements from the date it gains control until the date when the entity ceases to control the subsidiary.

 

The profit or loss of each component of other comprehensive income is attributed to owners of the parent company and the non-controlling interest, as appropriate. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent company and non-controlling interests even if the results of the non-controlling interest have a deficit balance.

 

If a subsidiary uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the interimconsolidated financial statements for transactions and other events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to the interim consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries in order to ensure compliance with Arauco's accounting policies.

 

All intercompany transactions and unrealized gains and losses from subsidiaries have been fully eliminated from these interim consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interest is presented in the interim consolidated statement of financial position within equity.

Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as indicated

 

The interim consolidated financial statements at the end of this period include the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the subsidiaries shown in Note 13.

 

Certain consolidated subsidiaries have Brazilian real, Mexican pesos, Canadian dollars, Chilean pesos and Argentine pesos as their functional currencies. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of those subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and translated as indicated in Note 1 (e) (ii).

 

The subsidiaries non-controlling interests in profits or losses and in the equity are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity and in the consolidated statement of financial position respectively.

 

d)Segments

 

Arauco has defined its reportable segments according to its business areas, based on the products and services sold to its customers. This definition is consistent with the management, resource allocation and performance assessment made by key personnel responsible for making relevant decisions related to the Company’s operation. The personnel responsible for making such decisions is the Chief Executive Officer who is the highest authority for making decisions and is supported by the Vice-presidents of each segment.

 

Based on the aforementioned process, the Company has established reportable segments according to the following business units:

 

·Pulp
·Wood products

 

Refer to Note 24 for detailed financial information by reportable segment.

 

e)Functional currency

 

(i)Functional currency

 

All items in the financial statements of Arauco and each of its subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the functional currency). The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is Arauco’s functional and presentation currency.

 

(ii) Translation to the presentation currency of Arauco

 

For the purposes of presenting interim consolidated financial statements, assets and liabilities of Arauco’s operations in a functional currency different from Arauco’s are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange rate differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in “Other reserves” within equity.

(iii)Foreign currency transactions

 

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Profit or loss on transactions in currencies other than the functional currency resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss, except those which are recorded in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity such as cash flows hedging derivatives.

 

f)Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash-on-hand, deposits held on demand at financial entities and other short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

g)Financial instruments

 

Financial assets

 

Initial classification

 

Arauco classifies its financial assets into the following categories: fair value through profit or loss and amortized cost.

 

The classification is based on the business model used to manage the assets and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows.

 

Management determines the classification of its financial assets at the time of their initial recognition.

 

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: these instruments are initially measured at fair value. Net income and losses, including any income from interest or dividends, are registered in the profit or loss of the period. Financial assets are classified in the category of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss when they are maintained for negotiation or designated in their initial registration as assets at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset can be classified in this category if it is acquired mainly for the purposes of being sold in the short-term. Gain or losses of assets held for negotiations are registered in the consolidated statements of profit or loss, and the related interest is registered independently as financial income. Derivatives are classified as acquired for negotiation also unless they are designated as hedging instruments.

 

(b) Assets measured at amortized cost: they are initially registered at the fair value of the transaction, adding or subtracting the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. The financial asset is maintained within a business model, the objective of which is to maintain financial assets to obtain contractual cash flows and the contractual conditions of the asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”) over the amount of the outstanding principal.

Subsequent measurement

 

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss or amortized cost.

 

The classification is based on two criteria: i) the Company’s business model for the management of financial instruments, and ii) whether the contractual cash flows related to the financial instruments represent “Solely Payments of Principal and Interest”.

 

a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: these instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. Net earnings and losses, including income from interest and dividends, are registered as profits or losses for the period. These instruments are held for negotiation, and they are mainly acquired to be sold in the short-term. Derivatives are also classified as held for negotiation, unless they are registered as hedging instruments. Financial instruments of this type are classified as other current and non-current financial assets. They are subsequently valuated by determining their fair value, registering changes in value in the consolidated statements of profit or loss, in the items of financial income or financial costs.

 

b) Financial assets measured at amortized cost: These instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost minus accumulated amortizations, using the effective interest method and adjusted by loss allowance and volume discounts, in the case of financial assets. Financial income and expenses, foreign exchange income and losses, and impairment are registered in results. Any earnings or losses due to initial or subsequent reductions of the value of the asset are registered in the statement of profit or loss of the period. Borrowings and receivables are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments not traded in any active market. They are registered at amortized cost, registering accrued conditions directly in profit or loss.

 

Arauco measures accumulated losses in a quantity equivalent to expected credit losses during the lifelong commitment. Expected credit losses are based on contractual cash flow differences based on the allowance of each contract and the cash flows that Arauco expects. The difference is then discounted based on an approximation of the asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying value is reduced as the allowance is used, and the loss is recognized in sales expenses in the consolidated statements of profit or loss. When an account receivable cannot be collected, it is regularized against the allowance account for receivables. Subsequent recoveries of previously impaired amounts are recognized as a debit in distribution cost.

 

Derivative financial instruments are explained in Note 1 h).

 

Additionally, Arauco manages portfolio sales programs, which are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9 on Financial Instruments. The assigned accounts receivable are derecognized only when Arauco has substantially transferred all the related risks and benefits incidental to their ownership.

 

To assess whether substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership have been transferred, Arauco considers, among other factors, credit risk, late payment risk, and foreign exchange risk. Collections related to the assigned portfolio of accounts receivable are presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows as part of operating activities.

Financial liabilities

 

Arauco classifies its financial liabilities as follows: fair value through profit or loss, derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments and amortized costs.

Management determines the classification of its financial liabilities upon initial recognition. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation is cancelled, settled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced with another of the same provider under substantially different terms, or where the terms of an existing liability are substantially amended, such exchange or modification is treated as a write-off of the original liability, with a new liability being recognized, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

 

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, and in the case of borrowings, they include the costs directly attributable to the transaction. The subsequent measurement of the financial liabilities depends on their classification:

 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

 

Financial liabilities are included in the category of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading or originally designated at fair value through profit or loss. Income and losses from liabilities held for trading are recognized in profit or loss. This category includes non-designated derivatives for hedging accounting.

 

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

 

Other financial liabilities are subsequently valued at their amortized cost based on the effective interest rate method. The amortized cost is calculated taking into account any premium or acquisition discount and includes the costs of transactions that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. This category includes commercial accounts payable and other accounts payable, lease liabilities, as well as the borrowings included in other current and non-current financial liabilities.

 

h)Derivative financial instruments

 

(i) Derivative financial instruments - The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps, currency swaps and zero cost collar contracts. The Company’s policy is to enter into derivatives contracts only for economic hedging purposes and not with speculation objectives.

 

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss unless the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument and complies with hedge accounting requirements, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

 

(ii) Embedded derivatives

The Company assesses the existence of embedded derivatives in financial instrument contracts. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at FVTPL as a whole. Arauco has determined that no embedded derivatives currently exist.

(iii) Hedge accounting

The Company designates certain hedging instruments as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges.

 

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, Arauco documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

 

-Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognized in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

 

-Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the Finance costs line item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognized hedged item.

 

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecasted transaction is ultimately recognized in profit or loss. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

i)Inventories

 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method.

 

The cost of finished and in process products includes the cost of raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and manufacturing overhead expenses.

 

Initial costs of harvested wood are determined at fair value less cost of sale at the point of harvest.

 

Biological assets are transferred to inventories when forests are harvested.

 

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

 

When market conditions result in the production costs of a product exceeding its net realizable value, the inventories are written-down to their net realizable value. This write-down also includes obsolescence amounts resulting from the terms and conditions of sale of the products, slow moving inventories and technical obsolescence.

Spare parts that will be consumed in a period of less than twelve months are presented in inventories and recognized as an expense when they are consumed.

 

j)Non-current assets held for sale

 

Arauco classifies certain property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments in associates and disposal groups (groups of assets to be sold together with their directly associated liabilities) as non-current assets held for sale which as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial position are the subject of active sale efforts which are estimated to be highly probable.

 

These assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less the costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated or amortized from the time they are classified as non-current assets held for sale.

 

k)Business combinations

 

Arauco applies the acquisition method to account for a business combination. This method requires the identification of the acquirer, determination of the acquisition date, recognition and measurement of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and recognition and measurement of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any contingent liabilities in a business combination are initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date, except:

 

-deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income taxes and IAS 19 respectively;

 

-liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 3 at the acquisition date; and

 

-assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations are measured in accordance with such standard.

 

Acquisition-related costs are accounted for as expenses when they are incurred, except for costs to issue debt or equity securities which are recognized in accordance with IAS 32 and IFRS 9.

 

A parent will present non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent company.

 

Changes in the ownership interest of a parent in its subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are treated as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent company. No adjustment is made to the carrying amount of goodwill, neither gains nor losses are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation may initially be measured either at fair value or at the present ownership instruments' proportionate share of non-controlling interests, in the recognized amounts of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets. The choice is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

 

Arauco measures the fair value of the acquired company in the business combination achieved in each stage (“step acquisition”), recognizing the effects of remeasurement of previously held equity in the acquiree in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.

 

If the initial accounting for a business combination is not completed by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, Arauco reports preliminary amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period (no more than one year), these preliminary amounts are retrospectively adjusted, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized to reflect new information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

 

Business combinations that are under common control transactions are accounted using as a reference the pooling of interest. Under this method, assets and liabilities related to the transaction carry over the previous carrying values. Any difference between assets and liabilities included in the consolidation and the consideration transferred, is accounted in equity.

 

l)Investments in associates and joint arrangements

 

Associates are entities over which Arauco exercises significant influence, but not control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

 

Joint arrangement is defined as an entity over which there is joint control, which exists only when the decisions about strategic of activities, both financial and operational, require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

 

Investments in joint arrangements are classified as a joint venture or as a joint operation. A joint operation is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e., participants in a joint venture) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

 

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. Their carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the portion corresponding to the statement of profit or loss or to the statement of comprehensive income. Dividends received are recognized by deducting the amount received from the carrying amount of the investment. Arauco’s investment in associates includes goodwill (both net of any accumulated impairment loss).

 

The investments in joint operations are recognized through consolidation of assets, liabilities and results of operations in relation to Arauco's ownership percentage.

 

If the acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the associate acquired, the difference is recognized directly in statement of profit or loss in line other gains (losses).

Investments in associates and joint ventures are presented in the interim consolidated statement of financial position in the line item “Investments accounted for using equity method”.

 

If Arauco’s share of losses of an associate or joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, Arauco discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After Arauco's carrying value in the investee is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that Arauco has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. If the associate or joint venture subsequently reports profits, Arauco resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognized.

 

m)Intangible assets other than goodwill

 

After initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

 

Amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life is allocated over the asset’s useful life. Amortization begins when the asset is available for use, i.e., when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

 

(i)Computer software

Computer software licenses are capitalized in terms of the costs incurred to acquire and make them compatible with existing software. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software.

 

(ii)Water rights, rights of way and other rights

This item includes water rights, rights of way and other acquired rights recognized at historical cost which have indefinite useful lives as there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which these assets are expected to generate future cash flows. These rights are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually, or when there is any indication that the assets might be impaired.

 

(iii)Customers relationships

Correspond to the valuation over the time of the established relationship with customers, from the sale of products and services through its sales team. These relations will materialize in sales orders, which generate revenue and cost of sales. The useful life has been determined to be 15 years.

 

n)Goodwill

 

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired company, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquired company (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the statements of profit or loss.

 

 24 

 

 

Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on annual basis.

 

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For purposes of impairment testing, goodwill in a business combination is allocated as of the acquisition date to the cash generating unit or a group of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquired company are allocated to those units or group of units.

 

The goodwill generated on acquisitions of foreign companies, is expressed in the functional currency of such foreign company.

 

Goodwill recognized in subsidiaries Arauco Canada Ltd. and Arauco do Brasil S.A., generated on subsidiaries acquisitions whose functional currency is different from the functional currency of the parent company and presentation of these consolidated financial statements, are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate.

 

o)Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. The cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.

 

Subsequent costs, such as improvements and replacement of components, are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Arauco and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized from property, plant and equipment. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Arauco capitalizes borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets as part of the cost of those assets, until the assets are ready for their intended use (See Note 12).

 

Depreciation is calculated by components using the straight-line method.

 

The useful lives of the items of property, plant and equipment is estimated according to the expected use of the assets. The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, annually.

 

p)Leases

 

Arauco applies IFRS 16 for recognizing leases in a manner consistent with contracts with similar features and akin circumstances.

 

At the beginning of a contract, Arauco assesses whether the contract is, or if it contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if it transfers the right to control the use of a given asset for a certain period of time, in exchange for consideration.

As of the initial date for recording a lease, Arauco, as lessee, recognizes an asset by the right of use at cost.

 

The cost of the asset for right of use comprises:

 

-The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. This measurement is at present value of the payments for leases that have not been disbursed as of that date. Payments for leases are discounted using the incremental interest rate for financial borrowings;
-Payments for leases performed prior to or as of the initiation date, minus the lease incentives that have been received;
-The initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
-An estimation of the costs to be incurred by the lessee when dismantling and eliminating the underlying asset, restoring the location where the same is located, or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required under the terms and conditions of the lease, unless such costs are incurred in order to produce inventories. The lessee assumes obligations stemming from such costs either at the commencement date, or as a result of having used the underlying asset during a specific period.

 

After the initial recognition date, Arauco, as lessee, recognizes its asset for right of use by applying the cost model, minus the accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for remeasurement of the liability for lease.

 

At the beginning, Arauco in the capacity of lessee, recognizes the lease liability at present value of the lease payments that have not been disbursed as of that date. Lease payments are discounted using the incremental interest rate for financial borrowings.

 

After the initial recognition date, Arauco, as lessee, recognizes a liability for leases by increasing the book value, so as to reflect the interest over the liability for lease, reducing the amount in order to reflect the payments for leases that have been performed and once again recognizing the book value, so as to reflect the remeasurement and also to reflect the essential fixed payments for leases that have been revised.

 

Arauco presents the assets by right of use in the consolidated statement of financial position and are further disclosed in Note 8. Likewise, lease liabilities are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and further disclosed in Note 23.

 

Arauco as lessor classify, according to IFRS 16, its leases as operational or financial, as the case may be.

 

Income from operating leases in which Arauco is the lessor are recognized on a straight-line basis during the term of the lease. Initial direct costs are added to the book value of the underlying asset and are recognized as expenses during the term of the lease on the same basis as the lease income. Leased assets are included within the statement of financial position, in property, plant and equipment. Arauco did not make adjustments with respect to assets that maintains as a lessor, as a result of IFRS 16 adoption.

 

When assets are leased under a financial lease, the present value of lease payments are recognized as financial accounts receivable. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of such amount, is recognized as financial return on capital.

Arauco evaluates the economic nature of the contracts that grant the right to use certain assets, for the purposes of determining the existence of implied leases. In these cases, the Company separates, at the beginning of the contract and based on its relative reasonable values, payments and considerations associated with the lease, from the rest of the elements incorporated into the contract.

 

q)Biological assets

 

IAS 41 requires that biological assets, such as standing trees, are measured at fair value less cost to sell in the statement of financial position. Forestry plantations are accounted for at fair value less costs to sell, based on the presumption that fair values of these assets can be measured reliably.

 

The measurement of the fair value of the biological assets is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our cash flow projections include significant judgments and assumptions relating to discount rates, estimated growth of the forests and sales margins. This valuation is performed on the basis of each identifiable farm block and for each type of tree.

 

Biological assets shown as current assets correspond to those forestry plantations that will be harvested in the short-term.

 

Biological growth and changes in fair value of forestry plantations are recognized in the line item “Other income” in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.

 

r)Income taxes

 

The tax liabilities are recognized in the interim consolidated financial statements based on the determination of taxable income for the year and calculated using the tax rates in force in the countries where Arauco operates.

 

Deferred income tax is recognized using liability method, on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated annual accounts. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates contained in laws adopted as of the date of the financial statements and that are expected to be applicable when the related deferred tax asset is realized, or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

 

Deferred taxes are recognized in accordance with the standards established in IAS 12 - Income Tax.

 

The goodwill arising on business combinations does not give rise to deferred tax.

 

The deferred tax assets and tax credits are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

s)Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of past events, under which, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

 

t)Other non-financial assets and liabilities

 

Non-financial assets are recognized when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flow to the entity and their cost can be measured reliably.

 

Non-financial liabilities are recognized when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

 

u)Revenue recognition

 

Revenues are valued at fair value of the consideration received or to be received, derived from them. Arauco analyses and takes under consideration all relevant facts and circumstances to apply the five-step model established under IFRS 15 to customer contracts: (i) identify the contract, (ii) identify the performance obligations, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price, and (v) recognize revenue. Additionally, Arauco evaluates the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs incurred to comply with a contract. Arauco recognizes revenues when the steps established in IFRS have been satisfactorily complied with.

 

Accounts receivable are recognized when control over goods or services has been transferred to the customer, because at this point of the time collection is unconditional and the passage of time is only needed to receive payment.

 

(i)Revenue recognition from the sale of goods

 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when Arauco has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the committed goods, when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when Arauco does not retain any managerial involvement over the goods sold and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to Arauco and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenue from the sale of goods are recognized when there is no obligation unsatisfied that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the product. The delivery is effective when the products are sent to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer and when Arauco has objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been satisfied.

 

Sales are recognized in terms of the price agreed to in the sales contract, less any volume discounts and estimated product returns at the date of the sale. There is no significant financing component given that receivables from sales are collected within a short period, which is in line with market practices.

 

The structure for recognizing revenue from export sales is based on the 2010 Incoterms, which are the official rules for the interpretation of commercial terms issued by the International Chamber of Commerce.

The main Incoterms used by Arauco are the following:

 

“CFR (Cost and freight)”, where the company bears all costs including main transportation, until the products arrive at its port of destination. The risk is transferred to the purchaser once the products have been loaded onto the vessel, in the country of origin.

“CIF (Cost Insurance & Freight)”, where the Company organizes and pays for external freight services and some other expenses. Arauco is no longer responsible for the products once they have been delivered to the ocean carrier company.

 

(ii)Revenue recognition from rendering of services

 

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognized as long as the performance obligation has been satisfied.

 

Revenue is recognized considering the stage of completion of the transaction at the date of the reporting period, when Arauco has the enforceable right of payment from the rendering of the services.

 

There is no significant financing component, given that sales are made with a reduced average collection period, which is in line with market practice.

 

Arauco mainly provides power supply services which are transacted principally in the spot market of the Sistema Eléctrico Nacional (SEN) (“National Electrical System”). According to current regulations, the prices on that market called “Marginal Costs” are calculated by the Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional (CEN) (“National Electrical Coordinator”) and are generally recognized in the period in which the services are rendered.

 

Electrical power is generated as a by-product of the pulp and wood process and is a complementary business to it, which is initially supplied to the group’s subsidiaries and any surplus is sold to the SEN.

 

Arauco provides other non-core services such as port services and pest control whose revenues are derived from fixed price service contracts are recognized considering the stage of completion of the services rendered at the date of reporting, generally during the period of the service contract on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

 

Revenues from reportable segments mentioned in Note 24 are measured in accordance with the policies indicated in the preceding paragraphs.

 

Revenues from inter-segment sales (which are made at market prices) are eliminated in the interim consolidated financial statements.

 

v)Minimum dividend

 

The statutes of the Company provide that for the purposes of the annual distribution of the net income of each year, it will be up to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting annually to determine the part of said profits that will be distributed as a dividend to the shareholders. Such determination will be made by the Board without being subject to the minimum of 30% established in article No. 79 of the Chilean Corporations Law No. 18,046, on Public Limited Companies, and may agree to the distribution of a lower percentage.

In a board meeting on September 24, 2024, it was agreed to modify the dividend policy, establishing that an amount equivalent to 30% of the distributable net profit for the fiscal years 2024, 2025 and 2026, will be distributed annually. For subsequent years, an amount equivalent to 40% of the distributable net income for each fiscal year will be distributed as dividends. Nevertheless, the Board of Directors may decide to distribute and pay dividends to the shareholders, to the extent that it expects the year to finalize with positive results and that the Company’s liquidity allows such distribution and payment.

 

At the board meeting held on October 24, 2025, an amendment to the dividend policy was approved, establishing that if the Company exercises its option to defer the payment of interest on the Series “AG” Bonds, issued and placed in the local market on the same date, the Company may not declare or pay dividends while any deferred interest remains outstanding.

 

w)Earning per share

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of shares in the Company held by a subsidiary, if such circumstance exists. Arauco has not performed any type of transaction with a potential dilutive effect that would cause diluted earnings per share to be different from basic earnings per share.

 

x)Impairment

 

Non-financial assets

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and other long-term assets with finite useful lives are measured whenever there are any circumstances indicating that the assets have to recognize an impairment loss. Among the circumstances to consider as evidence of impairment are significant declines in the assets’ market value, significant adverse changes in the technological environment, obsolescence or physical damages of assets and changes in the manner in which the asset is used or expected to be used). Arauco evaluates at the end of each reporting period whether there is any evidence of the indications above mentioned.

 

A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount however a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

 

For the purposes of assessing impairment losses, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows separately for each cash-generating unit. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, which had recognized an impairment loss, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period whether there are any circumstances indicating that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist or has decreased.

 

“Cash-generating units” are the smallest identifiable groups of those cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflow from other assets or groups of assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment or whenever circumstances indicate it. The recoverable amount of an intangible asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

 

A cash-generating unit, for which goodwill has been allocated, is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when there are circumstances indicating that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to other assets pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss of goodwill is recognized directly in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

 

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for impairment testing purposes. The allocation is made between cash-generating units or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

 

Financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, an assessment is performed in order to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets may have been impaired.

 

An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on a measurement of expected losses using a simplified approach.

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of receivables and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through the use of the allowance. If the impairment loss decreases in later periods, it is reversed either directly or by adjusting the provision for doubtful accounts, with effect in profit or loss.

 

y)Employee benefits

 

Arauco constitutes labor obligations for severance payable in all circumstances for certain of its employees with at least 5 years of work in the Company, based on the terms of the staff’s collective and individual bargaining agreements.

 

The related provision is an estimate of the years of service to be recognized as a future labor obligation liability, in accordance with contracts between Arauco and its employees and pursuant to actuarial valuation criteria for this type of liability. This post-employment benefit is considered a defined benefit plan.

 

The main factors considered for calculating the actuarial value of severance obligation for years of service are employee turnover, salary increases and life expectancy of the workers included in this benefit.

 

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income in the year they are incurred.

 

These obligations are related to post-employee benefits in accordance with current standards.

 

z)Employee vacations

 

Arauco recognizes the expense for employee vacation according to labor legislation in each country on an accrual basis.

As of March 31, 2026, inventories increased by ThU.S.$ 4,086 (reduced by ThU.S.$ 5,457 as of December 31, 2025) as a result of write-downs to net realizable value. Such write-downs were recognized in cost of sales in both periods.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the amount of obsolescence provision and net realizable value is ThU.S.$ 76,647 (ThU.S.$ 84,217 as of December 31, 2025), as a consequence of the foregoing, a net increase of inventories was recognized of ThU.S.$ 7,570 (higher provision of ThU.S.$ 2,349 as of March 31, 2025).

NOTE 5. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank checking account balances, time deposits and mutual funds. These are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

The investment objective of time deposits is to maximize the amounts of cash surpluses in the short-term. These instruments are permitted under Arauco’s Investment Policy which allows investing in fixed income securities. These instruments have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

 

Arauco invests in local and international mutual funds in order to maximize the returns of cash surpluses denominated in Chilean pesos or in foreign currencies such as U.S. dollars or Euros. These instruments are permitted under Arauco’s Investment Policy.

 

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, there are no amounts of cash and cash equivalents with restrictions on use.

Reconciliation of income tax expense from statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate.

 

The reconciliation of income tax expense is as follows:

 

   January – March
   2026  2025
Reconciliation of income tax from statutory rate to effective tax rate  ThU.S.$  ThU.S.$
Statutory domestic (Chile) income tax rate   27%   27%
Tax expense at statutory tax rate   18,807    9,104 
Tax effect of foreign tax rates   5,277    2,705 
Tax effect of income exempt from taxation   7,914    9,332 
Tax effect of not deductible expenses   (8,786)   (4,787)
Tax effect of a new evaluation of deferred tax assets (*)   26,698    3,483 
Tax effect of tax provided in excess in prior periods   -    (97)
Other tax rate effects (**)   (29,698)   (12,524)
Total adjustments to tax expense at applicable tax rate   1,405    (1,888)
Tax benefit (expense) at effective tax rate   20,212    7,216 

(*) It corresponds mainly to the tax effect associated with the inflation adjustment on Argentine tax bases.

(**) It mainly includes the tax effect generated by the exchange difference in the conversion of tax bases with local currency other than the functional currency.

 

Arauco has assessed the potential impact derived from the implementation of the so-called "GloBE or Pillar 2 rules," which seek to ensure that multinational groups pay a minimum effective tax rate of 15%.

 

To date, this regulation has not been adopted in Chile (the jurisdiction where Arauco’s headquarters are located), but it has been adopted in other jurisdictions where Arauco operates, making it necessary to estimate the potential impact of its application as of its effective date for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

 

Therefore, based on its best understanding, Arauco has evaluated the impact that these regulations could have in all jurisdictions where it operates and has determined that, to date, they would only have an impact on some of its operations in Uruguay. The balance of the provision for this item as of March 31, 2026 amounts to ThU.S.$ 19,900 (ThU.S.$ 20,234 as of December 31, 2025).

CELULOSA ARAUCO Y CONSTITUCION S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Unaudited consolidated financial statements
March 31, 2026
Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as indicated

 

According to significant restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to transfer funds to Arauco, in the form of cash dividends or repayment of borrowings and/or advances, we state the following:

 

Long-term debt with related entities - mutual agreement with Arauco Argentina S.A.

 

On June 5, 2017, Arauco signed a mutual agreement with its subsidiary Arauco Argentina S.A., pursuant to which this subsidiary received an amount of U.S.$ 250,000,000, which accrues an interest at the SOFR interest rate for 180 days plus a fixed spread of 5.20% and an adjustment of 0.42826% resulting from the replacement of LIBOR rates in dollars with SOFR rates (this according to the “Selections and Recommendations” of the “Alternative Reference Rates Committee” or ARRC), with payments every six months on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

 

Since 2020, the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) established certain foreign exchange controls, preventing Arauco Argentina S.A. from repaying the amount of ThU.S.$160,000 owed under the mutual agreement described above which matured on June 1, 2022.

 

On July 14, 2022, Arauco Argentina S.A. paid ThU.S.$ 6,000 of the amount owed under the mutual agreement described above, remaining to pay ThU.S.$ 154,000 of capital as of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2026, no changes in the key assumptions underlying the impairment assessment have been identified and, accordingly, no impairment reversals have been recognized, leaving a provision balance of ThU.S.$126,481 (ThU.S.$126,921 as of December 31, 2025).

Of the total of goodwill, ThU.S.$ 40,617 (ThU.S.$ 40,651 as of December 31, 2025) were generated by the acquisition of “Flakeboard” (currently Arauco Canada Ltd.), a company that, directly and/or through its subsidiaries, possesses and operates 7 panel plants, for which Arauco acquired and paid, on September 24, 2012, the price of ThU.S.$ 242,502 for the 100% interest ownership. The remaining balance of ThU.S.$ 732 corresponds to the acquisition of Prime-Line Inc., on September 1, 2019, for which Arauco North America Inc, a subsidiary of Arauco Canada Ltd. paid ThU.S.$ 18,880 for all the shares of said company.

 

The recoverable amount for Flakeboard’s cash generating unit was determined in the annual closing based on the calculations of its value in use, and this calculation was made using cash flow projections covering a 7-year term, a period time, which is considered to represent the cyclicality of the business performance, applying a nominal discount rate of 8%, which reflects current market assessments for the wood products segment in North America.

 

As of March 31, 2026, Arauco remains a goodwill balance of ThU.S.$ 11,910 (ThU.S.$11,298 as of December 31, 2025), associated with the cash-generating unit of the MDF line, in connection with its investment in the panel plant in Pien, Brazil.

 

The recoverable amount for the group of cash-generating units of the Pien mill was determined in the annual closing based on the calculations of its value in use, and this calculation was made using cash flow projections covering a 5-year term based on the operational plan approved by the Administration, applying a 7.4% nominal discount rate that reflects current evaluations for the panel segment in Brazil.

 

As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the carrying value recognized in the financial statements of Arauco Canada Ltd. and Arauco Indústria de Painéis S.A. for the group of cash-generating units did not exceed their recoverable value. As of March 31, 2026, no impairment indicators were identified.

NOTE 18. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

 

The following is a summary of the contingent liabilities’ cases considered relevant to disclose:

 

Subsidiaries of the Arauco group, Forestal Arauco S.A., Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. and Maderas Arauco S.A., are facing a contractual lawsuit filed by the Asociación Gremial de Dueños de Camiones de Construcción (ASODUCAM), related to alleged breaches of cargo allocation and freight transportation agreements. The claim was filed in 2018, has been subject to amendments and defenses, and the proceedings are currently suspended by court order. The plaintiff seeks specific performance of the contract and payment of CLP$575,000,000 (ThU.S.$ 620 as of March 31, 2026) as compensation for damages. Alternatively, the plaintiff requests payment of: (a) CLP$ 11,189,270,050 (ThU.S.$ 12,064 as of March 31, 2026) for consequential damages; (b) $11,189,270,050 per month (ThU.S.$ 12,064 as of March 31, 2026) throughout the duration of the proceedings, until termination of the contract is declared in the final judgment, for lost profits, and (c) CLP$ 5,000,000,000. (ThU.S.$ 5,391 as of March 31, 2026) for non-monetary damages. As of the reporting date, the evidentiary stage of the proceedings has commenced.

 

Forestal Arauco S.A. initiated a contractual arbitration procedure against RWE Renewables, arising from breaches of representation and warranties contained in a framework agreement. The arbitration was initiated in 2025, both parties submitted their respective claims. In March 2026, the basis of the procedure was agreed, establishing that the deadline to file the claim expires on 16 June 2026. Forestal Arauco S.A. will seek payment of approximately ThU.S.$ 26,926, while RWE Renewables has filed counterclaims for approximately ThU.S.$ 23,000.

 

Forestal Cholguán S.A. is facing civil damages claim filed by Luis Cabezas Roa, in connection with the alleged inability to exercise his rights on a property as a result of injunctions decreed in a previous proceeding. The lawsuit was served during 2025, and the case is currently in its initial stages. The claimed sum is approximately CLP$9,723,900,000 (ThU.S.$10,484 as of March 31, 2026). At the end of the period, the court summoned the parties for the issuance of judgment.

 

Arauco Argentina S.A. continued pursuing tax and regulatory proceedings with the National Government related to the application of the benefits provided for in Law No. 25,080 on forestry promotion, particularly with respect to the suspension of the export duty exemption. The disputes gave rise to administrative and judicial proceedings initiated in 2005, during which the Company was granted a precautionary measure that allowed it to continue benefiting from the exemption from export duties. In 2024, the judgment became final and binding. In addition, Arauco Argentina S.A. is currently involved in administrative proceedings before the National Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries related to the recognition of its compliance with the committed forestry projects and guarantees in favor of the authority. The Company’s legal advisors are of the opinion that, since it has not been established that Arauco was not entitled to the exemption, and to the extent that the committed forestry projects are declared to have been completed, the amounts paid as a precautionary measure in respect of export duties should be refunded. During 2026, the Company was required by customs to pay ThUS$ 7,522 in export duties related to transactions carried out during the period in which the injunction granted in the judicial process concluded in 2024 was in force. The Company has decided to challenge these customs charges.

Arauco is currently involved in a tax dispute with the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service – i.e., the Brazilian federal tax collection agency – regarding the recognition of PIS and COFINS tax credits. The dispute stems from a ruling handed down by the Brazilian Supreme Court that ordered the exclusion of ICMS (a sales tax) from the tax base for PIS and COFINS, generating significant tax credits for companies that had overpaid these taxes. Although Arauco obtained a final court ruling recognizing its right to recover these amounts, the Brazilian tax authority has only partially accepted the claimed credits, rejecting a significant portion on technical grounds.

 

The case is currently being litigated at the final administrative level, and once this avenue is exhausted and if the decision is unfavorable to the company, the matter will be brought before the courts. The disputed sum amounts to approximately R$ 40,641,435 (ThU.S.$ 7,786 as of March 31, 2026), plus interest and penalties, totaling, as of March 2026, approximately R$ 67,810,525 (ThU.S.$ 12,992 as of March 31, 2026).

 

At the closing date, there are no other contingencies in which the Companies act as obligor, that could significantly affect their financial, economic or operational conditions.

 

In cases where an outflow of resources has been deemed probable, the corresponding provisions have been recognized. The rest of the proceedings remain classified as contingent liabilities. The Company has not disclosed the likelihood of success for each individual contingency, so as not to negatively affect their resolution.

NOTE 20. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

 

Biological assets comprise forestry plantations, mainly eucalyptus, radiata and taeda pine. The plantations are located in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.

 

As of March 31, 2026, Arauco had a total surface of 1.8 million hectares of which 1,066 thousand hectares are used for forestry planting, 497.4 thousand hectares are native forest, 120.8 thousand hectares are used for other purposes and 119.7 thousand hectares not yet planted. Lands corresponding to native forest, lands used for other purposes and lands not yet planted are presented in property, plant and equipment, Forest plantations are presented in Biological Assets.

 

For the period ended March 31, 2026, the production volume of logs totaled 4.0 million m3 (4.4 million m3 for the year ended December 31, 2025).

 

Measurements of fair value of Arauco’s biological assets are classified as Level 3, due to the fact that inputs are not observable. However, this information reflects the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk.

 

These unobservable inputs were developed using the best information available and includes internal data from Arauco. These unobservable inputs can be adjusted if the available information indicates that other market participants would use different information or there is something specific in Arauco that is not available to other market participants.

 

The main considerations in determining the fair value of biological assets include the following:

 

- Arauco uses discounted expected future cash flows of its forest plantations, which are based on a harvest projection date for all existing plantations.

 

- Current forestry plantations are projected based on a net volume that will not decrease, with a minimum growth equivalent to the current supply demand.

 

- Future plantations are not considered.

 

- The harvest of forestry plantations supplies raw materials for all other products that Arauco produces and trades. By directly controlling the development of forests that will be processed, Arauco ensures high quality timber for each of its products.


- Expected cash flows are determined in terms of harvest and expected sale of forestry products, associated with the demand from the Company’s own industrial centers and sales to third parties at market prices. Sales margin of the different products that are harvested in the forest is also considered in the valuation. The changes in the value of the plantations pursuant to the criteria defined above are accounted for in the results for the period, as established in IAS 41. These changes are presented in the consolidated statements
of profit or loss under the line item other income per function, for the period ended March 31, 2026 amounted to ThU.S.$ 26,946 (ThU.S.$ 15,770 for the period ended March 31, 2025). The appraisal of biological assets resulted in a greater cost of the lumber sold in comparison to the real incurred cost, which is presented included in the cost of sales which for the period ended March 31, 2026 amounted to ThU.S.$ 35,071 (ThU.S.$ 38,907 for the period ended March 31, 2025).

 

- Forestry plantations are harvested according to the needs of Arauco’s production plants.

- The discount rates used are 6.6% in Chile, 20.6% in Argentina, 8.3% Brazil and 8% in Uruguay.

 

- It is expected that prices of harvested timber are constant in real terms based on market prices.

 

- Cost expectations with respect to the lifetime of the forests are constant based on estimated costs included in the projections made by Arauco.

 

- The average crop age by species and country is:

 

   Chile   Argentina   Brazil   Uruguay 
Pine   24    15    15    - 
Eucalyptus   12    10    7    10 

 

The following table sets forth the sensitivity to changes in fair value of biological assets considering variations in significant assumptions considered in calculating the fair value of the assets:

 

       ThU.S.$ 
Discount rate   0.5    (110,817)
    -0.5    118,522 
Margins (%)   10    402,744 
    -10    (402,744)

 

The significant unobservable input data used in the measurement of the fair value of biological assets are discount rates and sales margins of the different products that are harvested from the forest. Increases (decreases) in any of these input data considered in isolation would result in a smaller or greater fair value measurement.

 

The adjustment to fair value of biological assets minus sale costs is recorded in the consolidated statements of profit or loss, under the line item other income or other expenses, depending on whether it corresponds to profits or losses.

 

Forestry plantations classified as current biological assets are those to be harvested and sold within twelve months after the reporting period.

 

The Company has contracted fire insurance policies for its forestry plantations, which in conjunction with the Company’s resources, allow risks to be minimized.

 

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, there are no committed disbursements for the acquisition of biological assets.

NOTE 21. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

 

Environment management

 

For Arauco, sustainability means management strategy. This strategy incorporates values, commitments and standards, that together with the adoption of best practices as well as the use of the latest available technologies, seek to continuously improve the Company’s environmental management. It is the environmental department and each of its specialists that ensure these guidelines are met and are put into practice in everyday company operations.

 

All Arauco’s production units have certified environmental management systems, which reinforce the Company’s commitment to environmental performance and ensure the traceability of all raw materials used.

 

Arauco uses several supplies in its productive processes such as wood, chemical products, and water, etc., which in turn produce liquid and gas emissions. As a way to make the Company’s environmental management more efficient, significant progress has been made to reduce consumption and emissions.

 

Environmental investments have been made related to the control of atmospheric emissions, process improvements, water and waste management, as well as effluent treatment, in order to improve the environmental performance of all Arauco’s business units.

 

These investments are reflected in the interim consolidated financial statements as property, plant and equipment when they refer to disbursements in major works executed and are reflected in Expenses when they refer to improvements or management not directly associated with investment projects.

 

Detail information of disbursements related to the environment

 

As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, Arauco had made and / or had committed the following disbursements in major environmental projects:

23.2 Fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities

 

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, have been measured based on the valuation methodologies provided in IFRS 13. The methodologies applied for each financial instrument are classified according to their hierarchy as follows:

 

- Level 1: Securities or quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

 

- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

 

- Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs),

23.3 Explanation of the valuation of financial instruments.

 

Cash and cash equivalent and accounts receivable

 

The carrying amount of accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents (including mutual funds), and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

Arauco's current derivatives are valued under the cash flow discount method. These flows are discounted at the rate applicable according to the transaction’s and counterparties’ risk, using an internal methodology based on the information obtained from Bloomberg.

Given that our cross-currency swaps correspond to future flows in U.F., U.S. dollars and Euros, Arauco calculates the current value of such flows by using the U.F. zero coupon curve, dollar zero coupon and the Euro zero coupon.

 

The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts is calculated by reference to the rate differential between the agreed upon rate and the market rate as of the end date of these consolidated financial statements.

 

The fair value of the currency forward contracts is calculated by reference to the current forward exchange rates of contracts with similar maturity profiles.

 

The counterparty risk uses the Z-Spread obtained from the curve of the bonds issued by counterparties, and they are deducted from each flow as appropriate.

 

Financial liabilities

 

The fair value of bonds issued was determined with reference to quoted market prices as they have standard terms and conditions.

 

The fair value of bank borrowings was determined based on discounted cash flow analysis applying the corresponding discount yield curves to the remaining term to maturity.

 

Disclosures of the fair value of financial liabilities at amortized cost are determined via the use of discounted cash flows, calculated over variables of the observable markets as of the date of informing the interim consolidated financial statements, and correspond to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The following table sets forth a reconciliation between the financial liabilities and the consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

23.5.2 Time deposits and repurchase agreements: The investment objective of time deposits and repurchase agreements is to maximize in the short-term the amounts of cash surpluses. These instruments are authorized by Arauco’s Investment Policy, which allows investing in fixed income securities. These instruments have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

 

23.5.3 Trade and other receivables: These represent enforceable rights for Arauco resulting from the normal course of the business.

 

23.5.4 Sundry debtors: These correspond to receivables from sales, services or loans that are not considered within the normal course of the business.

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts is presented as a deduction of trade and other receivables. The provision for doubtful accounts is established based on an analysis of the age of the portfolio and considering the insurance coverage on accounts receivable. Other conditions are assessed for example when there is objective evidence that Arauco will not receive payments under the original sale terms and when the customer is a party to a bankruptcy court agreement or cessation of payments, and is written-off when Arauco has exhausted all levels of recovery of the receivable in a reasonable time.

 

23.5.5 Accounts receivable from related parties: Represent enforceable rights for Arauco resulting from the normal course of business, calling normal to the line of business, activity or purpose of exploitation and financing, and which Arauco owns a non-controlling ownership of the counterparty.

The regulations and procedures applicable for the control and administration of the Arauco Group can be found in the Corporate Credit Policy.

 

As of March 31, 2026, Arauco’s balance for commercial debtors was ThU.S.$ 617,082 of which, according to the agreed sales conditions, 51.83% corresponded to sales on credit (open account), 38.52% to sales with letters of credit and 9.65% to other types of sales. The client with the highest outstanding balance, corresponding to sales through a credit line represented 3.35% of the total accounts receivable as of that date.

Arauco applies IFRS 9 using the simplified method to determine the provision for expected credit losses of its commercial debtors, corresponding to accounts receivable from customers with credit line. The applied model is based on a scoring system that provides a score to each customer, which considers different variables such as country risk, payment behavior and financial condition of the debtor, among others, thus assigning a probability of default to each customer for the next 12 months. This factor is applied to the balance receivable of each debtor, determining the provision for expected credit losses.

Arauco does not conduct rescheduling or renegotiations with its clients that imply an amendment to the maturity of the invoices and, should it be necessary, any debt renegotiation with a customer shall be analyzed on a case-by-case basis and subjected to the approval of the Corporate Finance Management.

Explanation regarding the sales risk with letters of credit

 

Sales with letters of credit mainly occur in markets in Asia and the Middle East. Periodically, a credit assessment is conducted regarding the banks that issue the letters of credit with the purpose of obtaining their score over the basis of risk-qualification ratings, country-specific risk and financial statements. The decision of approving the issuing bank or asking for confirmation of the letter of credit is made in consideration to this assessment.

 

Explanation of the sales risk with credit line

 

Sales on credit are subject to the credit limit given to each customer. The approval or rejection of a credit limit for all term sales is carried out by different credit committees, which report to the Corporate Finance Management. The regulations and procedures applicable for the correct control and risk management over the sales on credit are ruled by the Credit Policy defined for the Arauco group.

 

Arauco’s policy is to take out insurance to cover the sales of companies Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., Maderas Arauco S.A., Forestal Arauco S.A., Arauco Argentina S.A., Arauco Indústria de Painéis S.A., Arauco Europe Coöperatief U.A., Araucomex S.A. de C.V., Arauco Industria de México, S.A. de C.V., Arauco Perú S.A., Arauco North America, Inc y Arauco Canada Ltd.

 

As another way of minimizing risk and supporting a line of credit approved by the Credit Committee through guarantees, Arauco holds guarantees such as mortgages, pledges, Standby letters of credit, bank performance bonds, promissory notes, borrowings or any other that could be required under the laws of each country, The total amount held in guarantees amounts to ThU.S.$ 120,872, effective as of March 31, 2026, The procedure for guarantees is regulated by Arauco’s Policy on Guarantees, whose purpose is to control their accounting, due date and custody.

 

The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the value at amortized cost of the Debtors’ account for sales registered as of the date of this report, minus the percentage of sales insured by the aforementioned credit insurance companies and the guarantees granted in favor of Arauco.

 

In summary, debt with term sale with credit line covered by the various insurance policies and guarantees amounts to 93.17% and, therefore, Arauco’s portfolio exposure amounts to 6.83%.

Investment policy:

 

Arauco has an Investment Policy which identifies and limits the financial instruments and the entities into which Arauco, is authorized to invest. The Company’s Treasury Department is centralized. For the subsidiary in Argentina, the Corporate Finance Department monitors and controls compliance with Arauco financial policies, but its daily treasury activity is managed independently. The Head Office is responsible for carrying out investments, cash flow surplus investments, and short and long-term debt subscriptions. Exceptions to this rule apply to short and long-term debt, and will be for specific investments made through other companies where authorization is required from the Chief Financial Officer.

 

For financial instruments, the only permitted investments are fixed income investments with adequate liquidity. Each instrument has defined classifications and limits, depending on duration and type of issuer.

 

Regarding intermediaries (such as banks, securities brokers and dealers of mutual funds that are bank affiliates), a scoring methodology is used to determine the relative degree of risk of each intermediary based on their financial position and assign score points that result in a credit risk rating to each intermediary. Arauco uses this scoring system to determine its investment limits for each intermediary.

 

The required information to evaluate the various criteria are obtained from published financial statements from the banks under evaluation and from the credit risk ratings of short and long-term debt securities, defined by the regulatory body (Commission for the Financial Market) and carried out by rating agencies authorized by said organization.

 

Any necessary exceptions regarding investment limits in each particular instrument or entity must have the authorization from Arauco’s Chief Financial Officer.

 

23.10.2 Type of risk: Liquidity risk

 

Description

 

This risk corresponds to Arauco’s ability to fulfill its financial obligations upon maturity.

 

Explanation of liquidity risk exposure and how this risk arises

 

Arauco’s exposure to liquidity risk is mainly from its obligations to bondholders, banks and financial institutions, creditors and other payables. Liquidity risk may arise if Arauco is unable to meet the net cash flow requirements, which sustain its operations under both normal and exceptional circumstances.

23.10.3 Type of risk: Market risk – exchange rate

 

Description

 

Market risk arises from the probability of being affected by losses from fluctuations in currencies exchange rates in which assets and liabilities are denominated, in a functional currency other than the functional currency of Arauco.

 

Explanation of currency risk exposure and how this risk arises

 

Arauco is exposed to the foreign currency risk from currency fluctuations arising from sales, purchases and obligations undertaken in foreign currencies, such as the Chilean peso, Euro, Brazilian real or other foreign currencies. In the case of significant exchange rate variations, the Chilean peso is the currency that represents the main currency risk. See Note 11 for details assets and liabilities classified by currency.

 

Explanation of risk management objectives, policies and processes, and measurement methods

 

Arauco performs sensitivity analyses to measure the effect of this variable on equity and net result.

CELULOSA ARAUCO Y CONSTITUCION S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Sensitivity analysis considers a variation of +/- 10% of the exchange rate over the Chilean peso. This fluctuation range is considered possible given current market conditions as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. With all other variables at a constant rate, a U.S. dollar exchange rate variation of +/- 10% in relation to the Chilean peso would mean a change in the net income year after tax +/- 9.6% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ -/+ 5,771), and +/- 0.03% of equity (equivalent to ThU.S.$ -/+ 3,340).

 

Additionally, a sensitivity analysis is carried out assuming a variation of +/- 10% in the closing exchange rate on the Brazilian real, which is considered a possible range of fluctuation given the market conditions as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. With all the other variables constant, a variation of +/- 10% in the exchange rate of the dollar on the Brazilian real would mean a variation on the net income after tax +/- 48.1% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+$ 23,806) and a change on the equity of +/- 0.6% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ -/+$ 62,659).

 

23.10.4 Type of risk: Market risk – interest rate risk

 

Description

 

Interest rate risk refers to the sensitivity of the value of financial assets and liabilities in terms of interest rate fluctuations.

 

Explanation of interest rate risk exposure and how this risk arises

 

Arauco is exposed to risks due to interest rate fluctuations for bonds issued, bank borrowings and financial instruments that bear interest at a variable rate.

 

Explanation of risk management objectives, policies and processes, and measurement methods

 

Arauco completes its risk analysis by reviewing its exposure to changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2026, 6.9% our financial debt accrues interest at variable rates. A change of +/- 10% in the interest rate is considered a possible range of fluctuation. Such market conditions would affect the income after tax at rate of +/- 3.5% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 1,733) and +/- 0.01% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 1,213) on equity. This analysis considers those borrowings with banks at variable rates for which Arauco mitigates the risk by contracting derivative instruments.

23.10.5 Type of risk: Market risk – price of pulp risks

 

Description

 

Pulp prices are determined by world and regional market conditions. Prices fluctuate based on demand, production capacity, commercial strategies adopted by large-scale forestry companies, pulp and paper producers and by the availability of substitutes.

 

Explanation of price risk exposure and how this risk arises

 

Pulp prices are reflected in revenue from sales and directly affect the net income for the period.

 

As of March 31, 2026, revenue due to pulp sales accounted for 52.2% of total sales. Pulp prices are fixed on a monthly basis in accordance with the market. Forward contracts or other financial instruments are not used for pulp sales.

 

Explanation of risk management objectives, policies and processes, and measurement methods

 

This risk is approached in different ways. Arauco has a team of specialists who perform periodic market and competition analyses, providing tools to analyze and evaluate trends and adjust forecasts. Similarly, Arauco performs price financial sensitivity analysis in order to take the necessary safeguards to confront different scenarios in the best possible manner. Additionally, Arauco mitigates the risk of pulp prices by maintaining a low-cost production strategy, which allows it to better cope with price fluctuations during different economic cycles.

 

Sensitivity analysis considers a variation of +/- 10% in the average pulp price, a possible fluctuation range given current market conditions at the date of the closing balance. With all other variables constant, a variation of +/- 10% in the average pulp price would mean a variation of +/- 115.3% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 56,991) on the income for the year 2026 after tax and +/- 0.4% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ -/+ 39,893) on equity.

Arauco enters into agreements with independent producers for the establishment and management of forest plantations intended to supply timber. Pursuant to these agreements, Arauco provides cash advances, land and seedlings, which are settled through the delivery of a proportion of the plantations at the end of each growth cycle.

 

These agreements do not provide the Company with joint control over the relevant activities of the forest plantations. The Company does not control the biological transformation process, does not have legal title to the standing trees during the growth cycle, and does not bear the significant biological risks associated with the plantations. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize biological assets.

 

Furthermore, Arauco enters into right-of-first-refusal arrangements to acquire a portion of the plantations or timber at market value. Such arrangements qualify as own-use contracts under IFRS 9 and, accordingly, do not give rise to a financial liability nor contain an embedded derivative. As of March 31, 2026, the balances related to these agreements are included under “Non-current contractual rights”.

NOTE 26. DISTRIBUTABLE NET Profit AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Distributable net profit

 

As a general policy, the Board of Directors of Arauco agreed that the net profit to be distributed as dividend is determined based on realized net gains/(losses) of any relevant variations in the value of unrealized assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the calculation of net profit during the period such changes are made.

 

As a result of the foregoing, for purposes of determining the distributable net profit of the Company, which is the same considered for calculating the minimum dividend required and additional dividend, the following unrealized gains/losses are excluded from the net profit for the year:

 

1)Unrealized gains/losses relating to the fair value recorded for forestry assets under IAS 41, adding them back to distributable net profit when they are realized through sale or disposed of by other means.

 

2)Those generated through the acquisition of entities. These results will be added back to net profit when they are realized. For these purposes, earnings shall be considered realized insofar as the acquired entities generate profits after their acquisition, or upon their disposal.

 

The deferred taxes associated with the amounts described in 1) and 2) above are also excluded.

 

At the board meeting held on September 24, 2024, it was agreed to modify the dividend policy, establishing that, charged to the profits obtained in the years 2024, 2025 and 2026, an amount equivalent to 30% of the net profits of each year, eligible to be distributed as dividends, will be distributed annually. For subsequent years, an amount equivalent to 40% of the distributable net profit of each year would be distributed. Nevertheless, the Board of Directors may decide to distribute and pay dividends to the shareholders, to the extent that it expects the year to finalize with positive results and that the Company’s liquidity allows such distribution and payment.

 

At the board meeting held on October 24, 2025, an amendment to the dividend policy was approved, establishing that if the Company exercises its option to defer the payment of interest on the Series “AG” Bonds, issued and placed in the local market on the same date, the Company may not declare or pay dividends while any deferred interest remains outstanding.

 

Based on the dividend policy described above, as of December 31, 2025, a minimum dividend provision for year 2025 of ThU.S.$ 8,449 was recognized in Arauco's consolidated financial statements, representing 30% of the distributable net profit for year 2025.

 

As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, no minimum dividend provision has been recognized, as the distributable net income resulted in a loss for both periods.
