Derivative assets - Non-Deliverable Forward

 

Our Brazilian subsidiaries are exposed to foreign-currency exchange-rate fluctuations in the normal course of business because a portion of their expenses are paid in Brazilian reais (BRL). To mitigate this exposure, these subsidiaries utilize non-deliverable forward foreign-exchange contracts (“NDFs”), which are designed to offset changes in cash flows attributable to currency exchange movements.

 

We apply hedge accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP (ASC 815). As a result, these derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, with the entire gain or loss on the derivative initially recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). These amounts remain deferred in OCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same income statement line item as the hedged item when it affects earnings.

 

We actively monitor the derivative portfolio of its subsidiaries on a monthly basis to assess financial results and cash flow implications. These contracts are used strictly for risk management purposes, and none of our Brazilian subsidiaries engage in speculative foreign-exchange transactions. Additionally, these contracts do not contain any credit-risk-related contingent features.

 

As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of outstanding NDF contracts was recorded as Derivative assets on the balance sheet. 

 

For the period ended June 30, 2026:

 

  we had unrealized gains/(losses) from NDF contracts recognized in OCI of $59,004; and
     
  we reclassified a $42,158 revenue into Finance (costs) income from OCI.
