As of December 31, 2022, total assets increased MU.S.$ 512 compared to December 31, 2021, equivalent to a 3.07% variation. This variation was driven mainly by an increase in property, plant and equipment, right of use assets and inventories, which are offset by a lower balance of cash and biological assets.
In turn, total liabilities increased by MU.S.$ 70 principally due to determination and registration of dividend provisions (see Note 26) which are offset by a lower balances of bank loans and hedging liabilities.
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 | 12-31-2022 | 12-31-2021 | ||||||

As of December 31, 2022, the short-term debt to total debt ratio represented 17% of total liabilities (16% as of December 31, 2021).
Our financial expenses coverage ratio decreased from 7.52 to 5.22, mainly due to the profits before taxes generated for the period ended December 31, 2022, compared to lower profits before taxes generated in the same period of 2021.

b) Statement of profit or loss
Profit before income tax
We recorded a profit before income tax of approximately MU.S.$ 846 compared to a profit of approximately MU.S.$ 1,434 in the same period of 2021. The variation of MU.S.$ 588 is explained by the factors described in the following table:

On January 1, 2021 we discontinued the reporting of our forestry operations as a business segment, and included those operations as part of the pulp segment. This is in line with Arauco’s current reality and with the way in which the management views the progress of business.
The new segments reported are pulp and wood products, consistent with Arauco’s focus on end customers. For more information, see Notes 2 and 24 to the consolidated financial statements report as of December 31, 2022.

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
The turnover for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by 4.6%. compared to the same period of 2021. This decrease was due to a 9.4% reduction in the invoiced volumes. Higher invoiced prices partially offset this decrease in turnover. Comparing year 2022 with 2021, turnover increased by 6.5% as a result of higher sale prices, while invoiced volume decreased slightly by 0.03%.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, no price increases occurred in any grade, but negative price adjustments are seen in some markets and in virtually all grades. Global inventories continued increasing following the third quarter’s trend; mainly due to the normalization of the logistics chain, specifically the release of production trapped in this longer than usual logistics chain from mid2021 to the fourth quarter of 2022. Pulp supply was generally stable. However, when broken down by grade, there are still short fiber supply restrictions from Scandinavian producers due to the lack of raw materials and higher supply of long fiber from these same producers, which continue to shift installed capacity to long fiber pulp production.
In China, no major changes could be observed compared to the third quarter of 2022: overall sluggish demand, normalization of inventory levels, and also normalized delivery backlogs during the quarter. The greatest challenge for this market is overall paper demand due to a low economic activity. Many producers planned partial production shutdowns to regulate inventory levels due to lower demand, pressure on paper prices, high pulp costs, and considerable economic uncertainty.

However, with the lifting of the Zero Covid policy restrictions, a higher degree of optimism can be observed. The Lunar New Year – which will take place at the beginning of the first quarter of 2023 should also be taken into account, since activity usually decreases during this time due to the vacation period.
In Europe, paper demand began to decline significantly, especially in products for the packaging industry, followed by printing and writing paper. On the other hand, pulp demand remained quite strong for most of the quarter, but started to decline towards the end of the quarter. Moreover, prices remained quite stable, with no price change in short fiber pulp, but there were important decreases in long fiber prices and the spread between short and long fiber disappeared; with spot sales of long fiber made at lower prices than short fiber prices. In the paper market, paper from Asia is also entering the European market due to the low demand in Asia, the price adjustment in those markets, and the strong decrease in maritime freight rates, which allows paper from Asia to be competitive again.
In textile pulp, the market remained very weak, and prices decreased throughout the fourth quarter. The viscose market, a target industry, displayed low activity levels, although prices are stabilizing due to lower production. Producers are operating at 50-60% of their capacity.
Production during the fourth quarter was affected by the unscheduled shutdown of the Constitución mill.
Wood Products Business
Sawn timber
During the last quarter of 2022, demand decreased, in comparison to the same period of the previous year. By the end of the last quarter of 2022, the effects of lower economic activity started to influence the different markets. China was still affected by Covid restrictions, by real estate issues and lower economic growth. The rest of Asia and Europe were affected by high inventories and higher interest rates and economic uncertainty.
In Remanufacturing in the U.S., during the fourth quarter of 2022 the effect of high inflation in the region, higher interest rates, higher inventories in the logistic chain and greater supply from Asia and Latin America began to be perceived. The foregoing resulted in a drop in demand in relation to previous quarters. Through the beginning of 2023, this scenario is expected to continue, and sales will gradually recover as inventories will begin to be regulated.
Plywood
During the fourth quarter of 2022, demand decreased its levels for our products, which affected volumes and prices compared to rest of the year 2022. The demand decreased in Oceania and Latin America, mainly due to inflation effect and higher rates, affecting the construction and remodeling sectors. In addition, the demand in Europe was affected due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, which in turn resulted in higher costs. Improvements in the North American market are expected only by the end of the next quarter.

Panels (MDF, PB, Melamine)
During the last quarter of 2022, even though volumes and prices continued at good levels, they were affected by the increase in exports from Brazil to the rest of the region, especially MDF. For the upcoming months, this increased supply is expected to continue. In turn, a lower demand is expected because of high inflation in South America, higher interest rates, currency devaluation against the U.S. dollar, higher inventories and political uncertainty in some countries.
4. FIRE SITUATION
Since the beginning of February, multiple forest fires have benn affecting various locations in Chile in which we operate, such as Maule, Ñuble, Biobío, Araucanía and Los Ríos regions, many of which are the result of the irresponsible or intentional action of third parties (the “Fires”).
Regarding the fires, we disclosed the following on March 1, 2023:
For purposes of fire prevention and combat, the Company has more than 1,300 professional forestry brigade members, duly trained and equipped for firefighting, as well as 700 liquidation forestry brigade members. Additionally, the Company has 89 car bombs, 30 runways and helipads, a total of 35 aircrafts (11 tanker planes, 17 tanker and brigade transport helicopters, 4 heavy-duty helicopters and 3 coordination planes), 18 skidders, 2 bulldozers, 130 detection towers with cameras systems, a satellite fire detection service, and 3 detection centers, in addition to the support of national and international specialist companies.
The Company has approximately 47,000 hectares of potentially affected productive forest plantations (the “Plantations”). Considering the information currently available, the wood that should be able to be recovered (based on past experiences) and the applicable insurance coverage, it is preliminarily estimated that the impact on the financial statements of the Company as a result of the fires would be, as of this date, approximately MU.S.$ 50,000.

Our cash flow from operating activities increased to MU.S.$ 1,700 for the current period (compared to the positive balance of
MU.S.$ 1,939 for the same period in 2021), resulting mainly from an increase in suppliers payments and net tax payments, which was partially offset by a higher revenue from customer collections in the current period.
The cash flow from financing activities shows a negative balance of MU.S.$ 527 for the current period (compared to the negative balance of MU.S.$ 769 for the same period in 2021). This results mainly from an increase in short-term borrowings, a decrease in dividends paid and a decrease in borrowings payments in the current year.
Regarding the cash flow from investment activities, the balance decreased to MU.S.$ 1,470 (compared to a negative balance of MU.S.$ 1,189 for the same period of 2021), mainly due to an increase in disbursements for the purchase of biological assets in the previous year (operation with BTG Pactual) and the sale of the participation in the subsidiary Forestal Los Lagos SpA also carried out in the previous period.
6. MARKET RISK ANALYSIS
In respect of the economic risks resulting from interest rate variations, the Company maintains, as of December 31, 2022, a ratio of fixed rate debt to total consolidated debt of approximately 98.6%, 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, which allows it to maintain one of the lowest cost structures in the industry and have these risks 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 December 31, 2022, include a detailed analysis of the risks associated with the business of Arauco (see Note 23).

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 U.S. dollar (ThU.S.$).

Summary of significant accounting policies
a) Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and they represent the explicit and unreserved adoption of IFRS.
The 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.
b) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of these 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 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 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 consolidated financial statements for transactions and other events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to the 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 consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interest is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity.
The 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).
A parent company 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.
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 are the Executive Vice-president and the Chief Executive Officer who are the highest authorities for making decisions and are 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 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 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.
Arauco does not have financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
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 interests (“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 Interests”.
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 interests 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).
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 there are no instruments 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 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 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, Easements and Other Rights
This item includes water rights, easements 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 and trade relations with customers
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.
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 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.

Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as indicated
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.
IFRS 16 maintains substantially the accounting requirements of the lessor from IAS 17. Therefore, Arauco has continued to classify 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.
The measurement of new forestry plantations made during the current year is made at cost, which corresponds to the fair value at that date. After twelve months, the valuation methodology used is that explained in the preceding paragraph.
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 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) 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 arrives 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 have 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 consolidated financial statements.
u) Minimum dividend
Article No. 79 of the Chilean Corporations Law states that, unless otherwise unanimously agreed by the shareholders, corporations must distribute annually at least 30% of net income for the current year as cash dividend to shareholders determined in proportion to their shares or in the proportion established in the by-laws for preferred shares, if any, except where necessary to absorb accumulated losses from prior years.

On April 8, 2022, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to the abovementioned dividend policy in respect of net income obtained in fiscal year 2021, in order to include in the calculation of the distributable net income for such fiscal year the extraordinary profits obtained by the Company for the sale of real estate by the subsidiary Forestal Arauco S.A. to Vista Hermosa Inversiones Forestales SpA. The amendment to the dividend policy is based upon the very positive financial results obtained by Arauco during fiscal year 2021, already informed to the market, and its current cash availability.
The aforementioned modification to the Company’s dividend policy only applies for fiscal year 2021. For the eventual profits of the current fiscal year 2022 and for subsequent fiscal years, an amount equivalent to the 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.
v) Earning per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to 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.
w) 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 exists 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.
x) 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.

NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Changes to accounting policies
On January 1, 2021, we discontinued the reporting of our forestry operations as a reportable segment, and included those operations as part of the pulp segment. This is in line with Arauco’s current reality and with the way in which the management views and evaluates the progress of the business. The remaining segments are: pulp and wood products, which demonstrates Arauco’s focus on its end customers.
The comparative information in the tables in Note 24 Reportable segments has been restated as of December 31, 2020 due to the merger of the pulp and forestry businesses. This reformulation of the Company’s segments did not produce changes in Arauco’s consolidated financial statements (statement of financial position, statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, except for the Note 24).
Changes to accounting estimates
As of December 31, 2022, there have been no changes in the methodologies for calculating the accounting estimates with respect to the 2021 financial year.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES
The tax rates applicable in the countries in which Arauco operates are 27% in Chile, 35% in Argentina, 30% in Mexico, 34% in Brazil, 25% in Uruguay and 26% in the United States (federal tax).
In 2021, Argentinian Republic published in the Official Gazette of Argentina the law No. 27,630, which replaced the fixed rate paid by Argentine companies on their corporate income tax periods starting in 2021. It provides a progressive scale of rates, where a 25% rate will be applied to companies with a net taxable income of up to 5,000,000 Argentine pesos (AR$) (approximately ThU.S.$ 28 as of December 31, 2022), a 30% rate will be applied to companies with a net taxable income ranging between AR$ 5,000,000 and AR$ 50,000,000 (approximately ThU.S.$ 282 as of December 31, 2022), and a 35% rate will be applied to companies with a net taxable incomes surpassing AR$ 50,000,000. This new regulation generated a loss of ThU.S.$ 49,000 in Arauco Argentina S.A. in income tax in 2021.

The depreciation expense for the period ending December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:
January - December | ||||||||
2022 | 2021 | |||||||
Depreciation for the year | ThU.S.$ | ThU.S.$ | ||||||

Total | 441,670 | 421,581 |
Depreciation charged to profit or loss statement differs from the movement of the period for Property, Plant and Equipment. This is mainly due to the periodic cost processes in which a portion of the depreciation charge remains in Inventories. Furthermore, this deviation is also affected by the conversion differences corresponding to companies that use a functional currency other than U.S. dollars.
The useful lives of property, plant and equipment are estimated based on the expected use of the assets. The average useful lives by asset class are as follow:
Years of Useful Life (Average) | ||||

Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements

Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as indicated
NOTE 14. INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES
The main operations carried out in the years 2022 and 2021 are reported below:
Arauco determined it necessary to reorganize its activity in the wood product segment by centralizing its investments in the wood market in an entity that allows a common direction and control. This is the reason why, on May 23, 2022, the company Arauco Wood Limited was created. Such international parent entity was incorporated in the United Kingdom, a country which is considered and valued as one of the main investment platforms and center global financial system, and known for its institutional stability.
In June and December of 2022, Arauco, through its subsidiary Inversiones Arauco International Ltda. and the parent of the group, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., contributed their subsidiaries from the wood segment to the new company Arauco Wood Limited. These contributions were for a total amount of ThU.S.$ 1,989,972. This operation did not generate an effect for income purposes.
With this reorganization, Arauco intends to achieve a more efficient international structure in a first-class financial center, thus generating an attractive investment focus for potential new investors or other market players. This centralization of the wood product segment will also allow a better and more efficient management, enhancing its investments with a solid structure and greater projections of profitability, growth and sustainability.
On December 2, 2021, Arauco through its subsidiary Arauco Forest Brasil S.A. acquired all Stora Enso Amsterdam B.V. participation (it owned 20% of the total shares of Arauco Forestal Arapoti S.A.) for ThR$ 294,549 (equivalents to ThU.S.$ 52,516), leaving Arauco with a total participation of 100%. Following IFRS 10, as Arauco previously had control over this investment and this operation is an acquisition from a minority shareholder, the difference resulting from the book values and the fair value of the paid was recognized directly in equity. This amount in equity at the end of 2021 was ThU.S.$ 35,880.
On March 10, 2021, Arauco through the subsidiary Forestal Arauco S.A. sold its total participation in the company Forestal Los Lagos SpA (ex S.A.) for ThU.S.$ 48,000. This operation generated a profit of ThU.S.$ 20,381 that is presented in other income.

NOTE 17. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
In 2022, as a result of loss of dryer, an impairment provision was made for ThU.S.$ 10,500 in Valdivia mill, which was recognized into impairment provisions of assets.
In 2022, as a result of closing MDP line of Pien mill in Brasil, an impairment provision was made for ThU.S.$ 14,388, which amount include an impairment of goodwill for ThU.S.$ 3,895.
At the end of 2022, considering the current projections of future margins, exchange differences and the sustained increasing risk in the Argentine Republic, and applying the usual procedures for determining impairment in accordance with IFRS, in the subsidiary Arauco Argentina, an impairment was recorded in the cash generating unit for the manufacture of cellulose pulp in the amount of ThU.S.$ 127,605.
The premises included in this projection consider a discount rate of 22.07%, sales volume based on expected production data, sales prices based on the projection of international consultants and future investments of the machinery in its current state.
In the United States, impairment provisions associated with sold and recovered from property, plant and equipment were reversed for a total of ThU.S.$ 7,014 (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 11,057 in the 2021 period).
In addition, due to the modernization and expansion project of the Arauco mill (Proyecto de Modernización y Ampliación de la Planta Arauco, or MAPA Project), as of December 31, 2022,an impairment provision due to a reduction in the useful lives for the CGU Line 1 of Arauco mill (pulp segment) in an amount of ThU.S.$ 101,069 was recorded (was the same amount as of December 31, 2021). For this calculation, we used a discount rate of 6.1%. The Line 1 of the Arauco mill was closed in January 2022 and the Line 3 of Arauco mill (MAPA Project) was launched in December of 2022.
All impairment provision charges are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss under other expenses by function, whose movements are shown below:

Of the total of goodwill, ThU.S.$ 40,676 (ThU.S.$ 40,802 as of December 31, 2021) 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 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 7% which reflects current market assessments for the wood products segment in North America.
Due to the investment in panel plant in Pien, Brazil, there is a capital gain of ThU.S.$ 13,392 (ThU.S.$ 16,163 as of December 31, 2021).
The recoverable amount for the Pien mill’s cash generating unit was determined 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying value of the goodwill of the plants did not exceed their recoverable value, except at the end of December of 2022 in Brazil for the MDF line of the Pien mill, was recognized an impairment of the equivalent goodwill, and it was for ThU.S.$ 3,895.

NOTE 18. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The contingent liabilities for outstanding litigations are as follows:
Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A.
1. On August 25, 2005, the Chilean Servicio de Impuestos Internos (the “Chilean IRS”) issued tax resolutions No. 184 and No. 185 of 2005, and objected certain income tax returns made by Arauco on April 16, 2001 and October 31, 2001, and furthermore, requested the reimbursement of the amounts returned in connection with tax losses, along with the amendment of the FUT (Tax Profits Fund) Registry balance. On November 7, 2005, the Company requested a Review of the Supervision Action (Revisión de la Actuación Fiscalizadora, or “RAF”), which is an administrative review of the tax action brought by the Chilean IRS, and filed a claim disputing the above mentioned tax resolutions No. 184 and 185 of 2005. The RAF was resolved on January 9, 2009 by the Chilean IRS, partially sustaining the Company’s request, consequently, with the last date, the respective claim was filed in what was not granted in the supervision stage.
On September 26, 2014, Arauco requested the submission of this claim to the competent jurisdiction of the new Tax and Customs Courts. On October 10, 2014, Arauco’s request was granted. On September 20, 2017, the Court issued its first instance decision confirming the liquidations.
On October 12, 2017, Arauco challenged the decision through an appeal. On June 29, 2018, the Court of Appeals of Santiago issued a ruling on appeal, confirming the first instance decision. On July 19, 2018, Arauco lodged a cassation appeal based on formal and substantial flaws before the Supreme Court.
On June 21, 2019, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. filed a claim before the Constitutional Court to declare the legal provision contemplated under section 53, paragraph 3 of the Tax Code unconstitutional and, as a consequence, inapplicable.
On October 29, 2019, the Constitutional Court accepted the claim filed by Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A.
On March 7, 2023, the II Chamber of the Supreme Court resolved to dismiss the cassation appeal based on formal and substantial flaws filed by Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. The case is now considered ended.
2. Through Res. Ex. N° 1 issued by the Superintendence of the Environment (“SMA”) on January 8, 2016, notified on January 14, 2016, the SMA formulated 11 charges against the Company, due to alleged breaches of certain Environmental Qualification Resolutions for the Valdivia Plant and of DS No. 90/2000. The 11 charges were classified as follows by the SMA: 1 critical, 5 severe and 5 minor.
On February 12, 2016, the Company submitted its defenses.
On December 15, 2017, the Superintendence of the Environment issued Exempted Resolution No. 1,487, closing the punitive administrative proceeding, absolving the company with regards to one of the charges and convicting for other 10 charges, applying a fine of 7,777 UTA (equal to ThU.S.$ 6,669 as of December 31, 2022). On December 22, 2017, the Company submitted a motion for reconsideration regarding Exempted Resolution

No. 1,487, before the SMA, requesting that we be absolved of all infringements, with the exception of the charge specified under number 7 (late submission of the water quality report regarding the Cruces river). On March 23, 2018, the reconsideration appeal lodged by the company was rejected. On April 5, 2018, a judicial claim was submitted before the Third Environmental Court. On November 12, 2018, the case was in agreement, and the Minister Ms. Sibel Villalobos Volpi was appointed to draft the ruling.
On February 11, 2020 the judgment of the Third Environmental Court was notified, which partially accepted the legal claim of the Company, only as to the inadequate severity qualification of one of the charges. On February 28, 2020, both the Company and the SMA submitted cassation appeals based on form and content, to be heard and resolved by the Supreme Court.
On December 13, 2022, the formal and substantial cassation appeals (recursos de casación en la forma y en el fondo) filed by the Superintendence of the Environment and Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. were dismissed. On January 19, 2023, an order to enforce judgment was issued. As a consequence of the above, the SMA is required to reassess the charges set aside by the courts, and Arauco is required to pay the fines which have now become final; these fines amount to a total of 5,360.2 UTA (ThU.S.$ 4,596 as of December 31, 2022). This sum, per its equivalent in U.S. dollars, was acknowledged as an account payable as of December 31, 2022.
On January 26, 2023, payment of the aforementioned 5,360.2 UTA was performed. Ultimately, including the updated sum, plus interests, the payment amounted to M$ 3,991,009 (equivalent, as of the payment date, to ThU.S.$ 4,966).
3. On November 28, 2022, Ingeniería y Construcción Sigdo Koppers S.A. (“ICSK”) submitted a request for arbitration before the Arbitration and Mediation Center of the Chamber of Commerce of Santiago (CAM Santiago), seeking the resolution of the disputes which have arisen between the petitioner and Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion S.A., in connection with Contract No. 906 Civil Electromechanical Assembly of Digester, Washing, Bleaching, Machine and Final Line, executed on June 18, 2019 (the “Contract”).
In its request, ICSK argues that, during the performance of the Contract, certain breaches occurred which prevented the works from being executed in the envisaged and stipulated manner, along with an increase in the quantities to execute and man-hours, all issues which affected the Contract’s performance term and the works’ total price. As a consequence of the foregoing, ICSK declares that it will file a claim for the performance of the Contract, and a claim for the indemnification of the damages it has suffered, indicating that they have amounted to approximately 6,900,000 Unidades de Fomento (ThU.S.$ 283,067 as of December 31, 2022).
On January 18, 2023, CAM Santiago certified the designation – upon the parties’ mutual agreement – of the arbitrator who will review the dispute. The designated arbitrator accepted the designation and was sworn in, summoning the parties to a first arbitral hearing scheduled for March 7, 2023.
As we will opportunely argue during the arbitration proceedings, Arauco believes that ICSK is responsible for the delays affecting the Contract’s performance, and that it owes Arauco fines for delays and other sums related to the return of advances, among other amounts. In light of this, we believe that a reasonable margin exists for a favorable outcome to be obtained by the Company.

Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., Forestal Arauco S.A., Maderas Arauco S.A. and Servicios Logísticos Arauco S.A.
1. On August 13, 2018, Asociación Gremial de Dueños de Camiones de Constitución (ASODUCAM) filed a complaint seeking the performance of a contract and claiming compensation for damages against Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. before the Civil Court of Constitución (C-757-2018), Forestal Arauco S.A., Maderas Arauco S.A. and Servicios Logísticos Arauco S.A., The complaint is based on alleged breaches of some agreements for the allocation, distribution and supply of cargo volumes for the years 2001 and 2005, initially executed by associates of ASODUCAM with Forestal Arauco S.A., and then, allegedly, with Servicios Logísticos Arauco S.A., in favor of the other two defendants, Celulosa Arauco and Constitución S.A. and Maderas Arauco S.A. The complaint seeks to enforce the contract, plus $575,000,000 Chilean pesos (equal to ThU.S.$ 672 as of December 31, 2022) in compensation for damages. In the alternative, it claims (a) $11,189,270,050 Chilean pesos (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 13,074 as of December 31, 2022), for actual damages; (b) $ 11,189,270,050 monthly during the entire course of the trial, until the termination of the contract is declared in the final ruling, for loss of profits, and (c) $5,000,000,000 Chilean pesos (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 5,842 as of December 31, 2022) for moral damages.
On August 28, 2018 the claim was served upon Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., Forestal Arauco S.A. and Maderas Arauco S.A., but notification for Servicios Logísticos Arauco S.A. is pending.
Considering that the Company’s position is based on solid legal grounds, there is a reasonable margin for obtaining a favorable result for the Company and, therefore, as of December 31, 2022, Arauco has not made any provision whatsoever in connection with this contingency.
Forestal Arauco S.A.
1. On July 7, 2015 Inversiones Forestales Los Alpes Limitada and Forestal Neltume-Carrasco S.A. filed a claim against Forestal Arauco S.A. before the Civil Court of Angol (C-502-2015), in which they request that Forestal Arauco S.A. restitute the material possession of 1,855.9 hectares, which would be part of their property “Resto del Fundo Los Alpes”, which would have an area of approximately 2,700 hectares. Likewise, they requested that it be declared that the property is the exclusive domain of the actors, the restitution of the civil and natural fruits, in addition to the deteriorations that the property would have experienced, with litigation costs.
On May 29, 2019, the lawsuit was answered, and the counterclaim of the acquisitive prescription was filed.
On September 1, 2020, the court received the case. Moreover, the resolution was notified on August 30, 2022, along with the resolution to reactivate the discovery period.
On September 2, 2022, the company filed an abandonment incident of procedures, which is pending.
Considering that the Company’s position is based on solid legal grounds, there is a reasonable margin for obtaining a favorable result for the Company and therefore, as of December 31, 2022, Arauco has not made any provision whatsoever in connection with this contingency.

2. On August 2, 2019, the company was notified of a lawsuit for termination of contract and compensation for damages filed by “Sociedad Recuperadora de Fibra S.A.” before the First Court of Valdivia (Case C-2215-2019). In the lawsuit, the plaintiff questions the anticipated termination of a contract by Forestal Arauco. It also claims that the company would have breached various contractual obligations regarding to 2 groups of contracts:
A. (i) Aggregates Transport Contract and (ii) Production, Cargo, Storage and Construction Management Contract for Platforms and flooring.
B. (i) Contract for the Production of Aggregates, (ii) Contract for Long Freight Services for Aggregates and (iii) Contract for Construction Services for Granular floor and Short Freight for Aggregates.
Based on the foregoing, it requests payment of compensation for an amount of $3,486,187,431 Chilean pesos (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 4,073 as of December 31, 2022).
On September 17, 2019, Forestal Arauco S.A. answered the claim and filed a counterclaim for compensation of damages which is in the process of a conciliation hearing, requesting that the main claimant be ordered to pay $ 421,723,281 Chilean pesos (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 493 as of December 31, 2022).
Through the resolution dated as of January 9, 2020, the court received the case to commence the production of evidence and the notification of such resolution was delivered to both parties.
As of this date, the term for the submission of evidence has expired. On December 31, 2022, observations were filed regarding the evidence adduced to the case. The court must now notify the parties of its order for judgment.
Considering that the Company’s position is based on solid legal grounds, there is a reasonable margin for obtaining a favorable result for the Company and therefore, as of December 31, 2022, Arauco has not made any provision whatsoever in connection with this contingency.
3. On April 15, 2020, Forestal Arauco S.A. was notified of a civil claim for recovery (demanda reivindicatoria de cuota) filed by the company “Agrícola, Forestal, Transportes e Inversiones El Quillay SpA” before the Court of Constitución (Case C-298-2020). The plaintiff sues Forestal Arauco S.A. for the restitution of 3,424.59 hectares that it would be occupying, with respect to the following properties: (i) “Predio que formaba parte de la Hijuela Sur Poniente, de la Hijuela Sur del Fundo Quivolgo”, (ii) “Lomas de Quivolgo” and, (iii) “Hijuela Astillero”. It is the opinion of the plaintiff that the aforementioned piece of land would be part of the property called “Bodega de subdelegation de Quivolgo”, in respect of which the plaintiff would have rights and shares corresponding to 4.17% of said property. Likewise, the plaintiff requests to cancel the registration of the above-mentioned properties of Forestal Arauco S.A., deeming it as a bad-faith holder.
On June 7, 2022, the procedure was declared abandoned. Ruling was upheld in the Court of Appeals of Talca on August 12, 2022 (Rol N°1021-2022 part of the case N°809-2020).
On September 1, 2022, the Court of Constitución ordered compliance with the judgment issued. The case is now considered ended.

4. Forestal Arauco S.A. filed before the Court of Constitución (Case C-353-2019) a claim seeking compensation on the basis of non-contractual civil liability against Ricardo Guzmán Reyes, for damages caused as a result of illegal logging inside the land of Forestal Arauco called “Parte Sur-Poniente de la Hijuela Sur de la Hacienda Quivolgo” and “Lomas de Quivolgo”. Said damages are valued in $ 100,000,000 Chilean pesos (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 117 as of December 31, 2022).
On May 2, 2020, Mr. Ricardo Guzmán answered the lawsuit and filed a counterclaim for recovery in which he requests to Forestal Arauco S.A. the restitution of 3,424.59 hectares that it would be occupying, corresponding to the following properties owned by the latter: (i) “Predio que formaba parte de la Hijuela Sur Poniente, de la Hijuela Sur del Fundo Quivolgo”, (ii) “Lomas de Quivolgo” and, (iii) “Hijuela Astillero”. It is the opinion of the plaintiff that the aforementioned piece of land would be part of the property called “Bodega de subdelegation de Quivolgo”, from which would have rights and shares corresponding to 2.38% of said property. Likelywise, the plaintiff requests to cancel the registration of the properties before mentioned of Forestal Arauco S.A., deeming it as a bad-faith holder.
On September 5, 2022, the Court of First Instance accepted the principal claim, convicting to the principal defendant to pay ThU.S.$ 70,000 (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 82 as of December 31, 2022) with the adjustments and interests, along with litigation costs. Moreover, it rejected the counterclaim as a subsidiary action.
The defendant and Forestal Arauco S.A. were notified of the first instance ruling on September 5, 2022 and January 24, 2023, respectively. None of the parties file any remedies or appeals against the first instance ruling and therefore the case is now considered ended.
5. On May 11, 2020, Forestal Arauco S.A. was notified of a lawsuit of declaration of mere certainty filed against it by the company “Agrícola, Forestal, Transportes y Inversiones El Quillay SpA”, before the Court of Constitución (Case C-323-2020), in which the plaintiff claims that the property called “Predio que formaba parte de la Hijuela Sur Poniente, de la Hijuela Sur del Fundo Quivolgo” owned by Forestal Arauco S.A. would actually have an area of 498 hectares, and, consequently, that the defendant lacks the right of ownership over a portion of land corresponding to 1,768.20 hectares of said property. Based on the foregoing, the plaintiff requests the court to declare mere legal certainty regarding the foregoing and also to declare that said area is part of the property called “La Bodega de la Subdelegación de Quivolgo”, owned by the succession of Mr. José Arcos González in which it would have rights.
On June 17, 2022, the procedure was declared abandoned. The plaintiff filed an appeal against such resolution, ruling was upheld in the Court of Appeals of Talca on August 24, 2022 (Rol N°1141-2022 part of the case N°1098-2020).
On September 13, 2022, the Court of Constitución ordered compliance with the judgment issued. The case is now considered ended.

Arauco Argentina S.A.
Pursuant to law No. 25,080, the former Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Foodstuffs, the enforcement agency referred to in the law approved, by Res. No. 952/2000, the forestry and industrial-forestry projects submitted by Arauco Argentina S.A. In the context of these projects, the Company afforested: 1) 4,777 hectares during 2000, in observance of its committed yearly plan; and 2) 23,012 hectares between 2000 and 2006 as a part of the multi-year afforestation plan. Likewise, a sawmill was built with installed capacity to produce 250,000 m3 of sawn timber per year.
On January 11, 2001, Arauco Argentina S.A. submitted an expansion for the approved industrial-forestry project. The expansion was approved via Res. No. 84/03 issued by the former Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Foodstuffs. In accordance with the assumed obligations, the Company built a MDF board (panels) plant and afforested 8,089 hectares between 2001 and 2006.
Additionally, the Company has filed yearly forestry plans between years 2007 and 2020 for its local operations in the provinces of Misiones and Buenos Aires.
On March 25, 2019, the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Fishing approved the resolution No. 2019-55-APN-SECAGYP#MPYT, approving the annual forestry plan for 2007. In addition, said organism through the resolution No. 2019-114-APN-SECAGYP#MPYT approved the annual forestry plan for 2009 on June 12, 2019, and through the resolution No. 2019-228-APN-SECAGYP#MPYT approved the annual forestry plan for 2008 on November 29, 2019. For this reason, Arauco Argentina S.A. may compute the exemption in the income tax related to the forest appraisal on the plantations to be harvested from the lands included in those plans as from the 2019 period.
In March 2005, Note No. 145/05 of the Subsecretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Afforestation suspended the benefit that exempted Arauco Argentina S.A. from paying export duties under Law No. 25,080. This measure is currently under discussion by the Company. On November 8, 2006, the V Chamber of the National Appeals Court for Adversarial Administrative and Federal Matters issued a ruling ordering Arauco Argentina S.A. to continue to enjoy an exemption from paying the exportation duties, in the same manner and scope it had prior to the suspension ordered by Note No. 145/05, if the clearance of merchandise is performed pursuant to the guarantee regime established in article 453, subsection a) of the Customs Code, for the exempted tax obligation. The judicial measure became effective beginning on March of 2007 by collateralization through the granting of bond (caution) policies for each shipment permits exempted from payment of export duty. The company maintains an assignment of funds equivalent to $ 2,940,618,000 Argentine pesos (ThU.S.$ 16,602 as of December 31, 2022) for guaranteed export duties between 2007-2015, which appears under long-term provisions. Additionally, the Company filed a restitution claim for a total amount of ThU.S.$ 6,555, plus interests accrued from the service of the claim, corresponding to export duties between March 2005 and March 2007, as a result of the application of Note 145/05 issued by the Undersecretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Afforestation. The Company’s claim is being heard under case file No. 21830/2006 before the Federal Contentious Administrative Court No. 4. On October 28, 2019, a judgment of first instance was issued in said case, rejecting the claim and imposing the litigation costs on Arauco. Against that judgment, the Company filed an appeal and expressed the corresponding arguments in December 2019. On June 15, 2022, the Chamber of Appeals confirmed the judgement of first instance. On July 1, 2022, Arauco Argentina filed the Federal Extraordinary Appeal before the Supreme Court of Justice. The Chamber admitted the appeal lodged by Arauco regarding the federal matter of the litigation; however, the grounds pertaining to arbitrariness were dismissed. Arauco filed a direct complaint before the Supreme Court, seeking for the higher court to broaden its examination of the case and also address such argument. This resolution of this petition is still pending.

On the other hand, Arauco Argentina S.A. currently has a guarantee at an amount of $ 435,952,315 Argentine pesos (ThU.S.$ 2,461 as of December 31, 2022) in favor of the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Fishing.
Arauco Argentina S.A. believes that it has complied with all of the obligations imposed upon it by the system set forth under Law No. 25,080.
Arauco do Brasil S.A.
1) The Federal Reserve of Brazil contested the amortization of goodwill resulting from acquisitions of Placas do Paraná, Tafibrás, Tafisa (now, Arauco do Brasil S.A.) y Dynea.
On July 20, 2015, Arauco do Brasil was notified of the first-level administrative ruling which partially upheld the infringement. Against this ruling, a Voluntary Appeal was filed seeking to revoke the Infringement Notice before the Brazilian Administrative Tax Council (Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais de Brasil or “CARF”), which is the second administrative level.
The CARF’s decision was issued on May 16, 2017 and took into consideration certain arguments presented by the Company regarding the premium but preserving other charges. On September 27, 2018, Arauco do Brasil was notified of the CARF’s decision, for which Arauco do Brasil S.A. filed an appeal for declaration embargoes, to elicit clarifications from the CARF regarding certain points of the decision. On January 25, 2019, the CARF ruled that there were no clarifications or omissions to be made and, consequently, granted a term for filing the last remedy within the administrative realm (“Special Remedy”). This Special Remedy was submitted before the Upper Chamber of Fiscal Remedies of the CARF (CSRF) on February 11, 2019, reiterating the Company’s defense allegations regarding the matters and charges that remained in such process.
On August 28, 2020, the Company was served with an intermediate decision in Grievance of Instrument, issued by CARF that divided the claim into two parts:
One part that remains awaiting the administrative decision in Special Remedy to the CSRF (the issue of the isolated fine of 50% and interests) with the estimated amount of R$ 29,250,417 (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 5,535 as of December 31, 2022) and that amount will be added interests and readjustments as of January 31, 2019 until the administrative discussion is finished.

Considering that the Company’s position is based on solid legal grounds, there is a reasonable margin for obtaining a favorable result for the Company and therefore, as of December 31, 2022, Arauco has not made any provision whatsoever in connection with this contingency.
2) In 2013, a service provider instituted a civil lawsuit against us seeking compensation for damages allegedly caused by Arauco’s unilateral termination of its contract in connection with the implementation of the MDF 2 line of the Jaguariaiva mill. On November 01, 2021, the Civil Court of Curitiba issued its ruling, ordering Arauco to pay to the service provider an amount of ThR$ 84,000 (ThU.S.$ 15,895 as of December 31, 2022) in consideration of the alleged damages borne by the service provider during the course of the services contracts and as a result of its early termination by Arauco. Arauco appealed this ruling before the Court of Justice of the State. As of the date of this annual report a decision on such appeal remains pending.
After the ruling, we were summoned and on March 8, 2022 we filed an appeal, and the other part was summoned to rule on our appeal and filed a request on April 11,2022, appealing to the judgement.
We are still awaiting the appealing in the Court of Paraná.
Arauco Industria de México, S.A. de C.V. (before Maderas y Sintéticos de México, S.A. de C.V.
On December 12, 2022, the Tax Administration Service issued tax credit assessment resolution number 900-04-04-00-00-00-2022-978 corresponding to the 2014 tax year. Under such assessment, objections against the following items were filed: (i) the deduction of interest in the historical amount of 85,172,274 Mexican pesos (ThU.S.$ 4,369 as of December 31, 2022), from loans granted by Masisa S.A. (Chile); (ii) the tax loss in the total amount of 275,986,671 Mexican pesos (ThU.S.$ 14,156 as of December 31, 2022); (iii) the deduction of payments made to Masisa S.A. for logistics services in the total amount of 3,058,221 Mexican pesos (ThU.S.$ 157 as of December 31, 2022); (iv) the alleged generation of non-distributed dividends related to the payments indicated in items (i) and (iii) above; (v) the rejection of contributions to the Single Contribution Account in amounts expressed in Mexican pesos of $ 342,372 (ThU.S. $ 18 as of December 31, 2022), $ 66,250,020 (ThU.S.$ 3,398 as of December 31, 2022), $ 46,389,980 (ThU.S.$ 2,379 as of December 31, 2022) and $11,457,000 (ThU.S.$ 588 as of December 31, 2022), respectively; and (vi) an alleged incorrect application of the double taxation avoidance treaty between Mexico and Chile. The total amount of omitted tax, updates, surcharges, and fines assessed to the company amounts to 416,908,418 Mexican pesos (ThU.S.$ 21,384 as of December 31, 2022).
On February 13, 2023, a motion to revoke was filed against the above assessment, before the General Legal Administration of the Tax Administration Service. Currently, the term for the Company to submit additional evidence is underway and, subsequently, the tax authorities must issue a ruling which, if unfavorable, could be challenged by the Company before the Federal Court of Administrative Justice.
Taking into account that the Company’s position is supported by solid legal arguments, there is a reasonable margin to obtain a favorable outcome for the Company and therefore, as of December 31, 2022, Arauco has not yet made any provision for this contingency.

NOTE 20. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS
Biological assets comprise forestry plantations, mainly radiata and taeda pine, and to a lesser extent eucalyptus. The plantations are located in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.
As of December 31, 2022 Arauco has a total surface of 1.66 million hectares of which 951 thousand hectares are used for forestry planting, 491 thousand hectares are native forest, 110 thousand hectares are used for other purposes and 103 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 & equipment, Forest plantations are presented in Biological Assets.
For the period ended December 31, 2022, the production volume of logs totaled 21 million m3 (20.9 million m3 as of December 31, 2021).
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, which as of December 31, 2022 amounted to ThU.S.$ 12,932 (ThU.S.$ 81,986 as of December 31, 2021). 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 as of December 31, 2022 amounted to ThU.S.$ 309,670 (ThU.S.$ 223,589 as of December 31, 2021). |

• | Forestry plantations are harvested according to the needs of Arauco’s production plants. |
• | The discount rates used are 7.0% in Chile, 8.3% Brazil, 21% in Argentina and 9% 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: |

Margins (%) | 10 | 434,191 | ||||||
-10 | (434,191 | ) |
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.
Detail of Biological Assets Pledged as Security
As of December 31, 2022, there are no forestry plantations pledged as security.

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.

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 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021 Arauco has made and / or has 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 UF, U.S. dollars and Euros, Arauco calculates the current value of such flows by using the UF 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 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 fair value of zero cost collar contracts is calculated by reference to the price differential between the agreed price range and the market price of the hedge’s object.
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 consolidated financial statements, and correspond to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Arauco applies the simplified approach regarding the expected losses from commercial debtors, which allows for the use of an estimate of expected credit losses over the instrument’s lifespan for all commercial accounts receivable. In order to establish this estimate, the commercial debtors have been grouped in relation to the corresponding risks for sales conditions as well as for tranches, including clients that are up-to-date or in default.

Explanation regarding the Sales Risk with Letters of Credit
The 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 for each customer. The approval or rejection of a credit limit for all term sales is conducted by the Corporate Credit Sub-Division, as well as by the Credit and Collections area for North America, Brazil and Argentina, which report to the Corporate Finance Division. The regulations and procedures applicable for the correct control and risk management over the sales on credit are ruled by the Credit Policy.
A procedure that must be applied by all the companies of the Arauco group has been established for the approval and/or modification of client credit lines. Credit line requests are entered to the SAP that analyzes all available information. Afterwards, the same are either approved or rejected in each one of the internal committees of each company belonging to the Arauco group, depending on the maximum amount authorized by the Credit Policy. Lines of credit are renewed during this internal process on a yearly basis.
All sales are automatically controlled by a credit verification system, which has been configured to block any orders from clients who are delinquent in a given percentage of a debt and/or from clients whose line of credit, as of the time of the product’s shipping, has been exceeded or is overdue.

Investment Policy:
Arauco has an Investment Policy which identifies and limits the financial instruments and the entities into which the Arauco companies, in particular Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion S.A., are authorized to invest. The Company’s Treasury Department is centralized with operations in Chile. 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 obtained from rating agencies authorized by the Superintendence of Banks and Financial Institutions (Fitch Ratings Chile, Humphreys and Feller Rate).
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.
Explanation of Objectives, Policies and Processes for Risk Management, and Measurement Methods
The Corporate Financial Management Division monitors on an ongoing basis the Company’s cash flow forecasts based on short and long-term forecasts and available financing alternatives. In order to manage the risk level of financial assets, Arauco follows its investment policy.
The following tables detail Arauco’s liquidity analysis for its financial liabilities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The tables have been drawn up based on the contractual undiscounted cash outflows and their remaining contractual maturities.

CELULOSA ARAUCO Y CONSTITUCION S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
December 31, 2022
Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as indicated
Regarding the Libor rate and its discontinuity, at the end of December 2022 Arauco maintains 4.58% of its total debt at said rate and it is not estimated that the effect of its elimination will be material. Additionally, Arauco maintains interest rate derivatives for 99.13% of its Libor rate based debt. The credits set at the Libor rate that Arauco maintains at the closing date of these financial statements generally include provisions that allow the rate to be modified in the event of situations such as that given by the discontinuation of Libor rates, In the case of credits that do not have mechanisms of this type, Arauco is currently finalizing negotiations in order to agree on a replacement rate.
As of the closing date of these financial statements, it is estimated that this change will not have a significant impact on Arauco’s results.
Guarantees
As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, Arauco has financial assets of approximately MU.S.$ 20 that have been pledged to third parties (beneficiaries), as direct guarantee. If Arauco does not fulfill its obligations, the guarantors could execute the guarantees.
As of December 31, 2022, the total assets pledged as an indirect guarantee were MU.S.$ 341. In contrast to direct guarantees, indirect guarantees are given to secure obligations assumed by a third party.
On September 29, 2011, Arauco entered into a Security Agreement under which it granted a non-joint guarantee limited to 50% of the obligations of the Uruguayan companies (joint ventures) Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A., under the IDB Facility Agreement in the amount of up to MU.S.$ 454 and the Finnevera Guaranteed Facility Agreement in the amount of up to MU.S.$ 900. Both borrowing agreements were signed with the International Development Bank. Such guarantee is included in the table below, under indirect guarantees.

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.
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 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 +/- 0.32% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ -/+ 2,283), and +/- 0.02% of equity (equivalent to ThU.S.$ -/+ 1,370).
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 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 +/- 0.81% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+$ 5,735) and a change on the equity of +/- 1.30% (equivalent to ThU.S. -/+$ 107,595).

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 December 31, 2022, 1.4% 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 +/- 0.17% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 1,212) and +/- 0.009% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 727) on equity.

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 December 31, 2022, revenue due to pulp sales accounted for 42.1% 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.
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 +/- 28.0% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 196,856) on the income for the year after tax and +/- 1.4% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ -/+ 118,114) on equity.

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

Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
December 31, 2022
Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as indicated
In 2021, Arauco updated the dividend policy of the Company, establishing that in respect of fiscal year 2021, it will be distributed among the shareholders an amount equivalent to the 40% of the cash income for such year capable of being distributed as dividends, excluding from the calculation of such cash income the extraordinary benefits that the Company will obtain, through its subsidiary Forestal Arauco S.A., for the sale of several real estate to Vista Hermosa Inversiones Forestales SpA.
In the movement of consolidated statements of changes in equity was recognized a decrease of ThU.S.$ 437,995 (ThU.S.$ 596,012 as of December 31, 2021), of which ThU.S.$ 370,874 correspond to the provision of 40% of the liquid distributable profit for the year 2022 (ThU.S.$ 396,012 for the period of 2021) and ThU.S.$ 67,121 correspond to the difference in the dividend provisioned for the change in policy on profits for year 2021 mentioned later in this Note.
As of December 31, 2022 Arauco in the financial statements recognized the balance of minimum dividend provision of the parent company for ThU.S.$ 186,903 (125,012 as of December 31, 2022). In December of 2022 Arauco paid a provisional dividend for ThU.S.$ 183,971 (ThU.S.$ 271,000 as of November of 2021) decreasing the minimum dividend provision.
In consideration of the profits obtained by the Company during the year 2021, in the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on October 12, 2021, it was agreed the distribution of a definitive dividend (eventual dividend) with charge on the fund of retain profits. Generating a provision for ThU.S.$ 200,000, it was paid from October 25, 2021.
On April 8, 2022, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to the abovementioned dividend policy in respect of net income obtained in fiscal year 2021, in order to include in the calculation of the distributable net income for such fiscal year the extraordinary profits obtained by the Company for the aforementioned sale of real estate by the subsidiary Forestal Arauco S.A. to Vista Hermosa Inversiones Forestales SpA. The amendment to the dividend policy is based upon the very positive financial results obtained by Arauco during fiscal year 2021, already informed to the market, and its current cash availability.
The aforementioned modification to the Company’s dividend policy only applies for fiscal year 2021. For the eventual profits of the current fiscal year 2022 and for subsequent fiscal years, an amount equivalent to the 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.
Considering the change in the dividend policy described above, the final dividend paid for the year 2021 increased by ThU.S.$ 67,121 compared to the provision as of December 31, 2021.

NOTE 27. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
1) Since the beginning of February, multiple forest fires have been affecting various locations in Chile in which we operate, such as Maule, Ñuble, Biobío, Araucanía and Los Ríos regions, many of which are the result of the irresponsible or intentional action of third parties (the “Fires”).
Regarding the fires, we disclosed the following on March 1, 2023:
For purposes of fire prevention and combat, the Company has more than 1,300 professional forestry brigade members, duly trained and equipped for firefighting, as well as 700 liquidation forestry brigade members. Additionally, the Company has 89 car bombs, 30 runways and helipads, a total of 35 aircrafts (11 tanker planes, 17 tanker and brigade transport helicopters, 4 heavy-duty helicopters and 3 coordination planes), 18 skidders, 2 bulldozers, 130 detection towers with cameras systems, a satellite fire detection service, and 3 detection centers, in addition to the support of national and international specialist companies.
The Company has approximately 47,000 hectares of potentially affected productive forest plantations (the “Plantations”). Considering the information currently available, the wood that should be able to be recovered (based on past experiences) and the applicable insurance coverage, it is preliminarily estimated that the impact on the financial statements of the Company as a result of the fires would be as of this date approximately ThU.S.$ 50,000.
2) The authorization for the issuance and publication of these consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2022 was approved by the Board of Directors of Arauco at the Extraordinary Meeting No. 682 held on March 2, 2023.
Subsequent to December 31, 2022 and as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, there have been no events, that could materially affect the presentation of these financial statements.

Income Statement
Revenues
ARAUCO’s revenues reached US$1,594.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 15.2% when compared to the previous quarter. This variation is mostly explained by lower revenues in our wood products division, due to a decrease in sales volume and in average prices of 14.3% and a 9.5%, respectively. Additionally, revenues for our pulp division were 5.0% lower, due to a decrease in sales volume of 2.1% and a 3.3% in average prices.

Other expenses
Increased by 164.6% or US$129.7 million when compared to the third quarter of 2022. This is mostly explained by an increase in Impairment provision property, plant and equipment and others mostly due to an impairment provision in our pulp mill in Argentina, for an approximate amount of US$ 127.6 million due to changes in the discount rate, the future capex and projections of prices and volumes. This was partially offset by a decrease in Operating expenses related to the Valdivia mill stoppage in the third quarter.

Pulp Business
During the fourth quarter of 2022, prices were lower compared to the previous quarter. Global stocks continued increasing following the trend of the third quarter, mainly due to the normalization of the logistic chain. Even though pulp supply was stable during the quarter, when detailing it by fiber, there are still short fiber supply restrictions from Scandinavian producers due to lack of raw material coming from Russia. Consequently, there has been a higher long fiber supply from these producers because they keep changing their production capacity from short to long fiber.
In China, very similar scenario compared to the third quarter: Sluggish demand, normalization of inventory levels and also of logistic delays. The challenge for this market continued to be the low paper demand due to low economic activity. Many paper producers planned partial stoppages to regulate inventory levels as a result of lower demand, pressure on prices, high pulp costs and significant economic uncertainty. However, due to the lifting of the restrictions of the “0” covid policy, there seems to be higher levels of optimism.
In Europe, paper demand began to drop significantly, especially for packaging and P&W products. On the other hand, pulp demand remained quite strong for most of the quarter but began to decrease towards the end of the year. Also, prices remained very stable with no changes on short fiber but there were significant decreases in long fiber. Moreover, the spread between short and long fiber disappeared, with some long fiber spot sales made at a lower price than short fiber prices. In the paper industry, there were higher paper imports from Asia, as a result of lower logistics and production costs.
In Dissolving Pulp, market remained weak with prices that continued decreasing during the quarter. The Viscose market remains with low activity, although prices were stabilized due to lower production.
Production during the fourth quarter was affected by the non-schedule stoppage at the Constitución mill.
Production and Sales Volume (In thousand tonnes)
The Adjusted EBITDA for our pulp business segment reached US$281.9 million during this quarter, which translates to a 8.6% or US$26.4 million decrease compared to the third quarter of 2022.
Pulp EBITDA Mg reached 38.9%, 1.5% lower than the previous quarter.

Wood Products Business | ||
Panels
Sales volume decreased 13.5% when compared to the previous quarter and average sales prices decreased 5.6%.
During the fourth quarter, volumes and prices were affected, specially in MDF, due to an increase in exports volumes from Brazil to the rest of the region. Moreover, due to higher inflation and rates, depreciation of currencies, high stocks and political uncertainty in some countries, demand continued weakening.
Sawn timber
Average sales prices decreased 16.6% when compared to the previous quarter and sales volume decreased 15.9%.
By the end of the third quarter of 2022, the effects of lower economic activity started to influence the different markets. China was still affected by restrictions associated with Covid, real estate issues and low economic growth. Lastly, the rest of Asia and Europe remained affected by high inventories, higher interest rates and economic uncertainty.
In remanufactured wood products, the US started to perceive the effects of higher inflation, rates and inventories, affecting prices and demand volumes. Moreover, higher supply from Asia and Latin America put additional pressure on prices.
Plywood
Sales volume decreased by 20.0% and average prices slightly decreased by 1.0%.
As a result of lower demand during this quarter, volumes and prices were generally affected compared to the rest of the year. Demand was lower mainly due to higher rates in America and Oceania, affecting the construction and remodeling sectors. |
Adjusted EBITDA for our wood products business was US$154.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, which translates to a 45.6% or US$129.1 million decrease, compared to the previous quarter.
Wood products EBITDA Mg was 17.8%, 7.6% lower than the previous quarter.

MAPA (Modernización y Ampliación Planta Arauco).
As of December 29, 2022, the Line 3 ramp-up process began by the loading of chips to its digester, starting with the production process. In January 20, the production of the first bale of pulp manufactured entirely in Line 3 was completed, officially beginning its operation phase.
The mill team is focused in the process of safely increasing production, identifying and solving issues that normally appear during the ramp-up.
Once Line 3 reaches its full production capacity, our Arauco mill will reach a total production capacity of approximately 2.1 million tonnes of pulp per year.
Forest Fires
Since the beginning of February, multiple forest fires have been affecting various locations in which we operate, such as Maule, Ñuble, Biobío, Araucanía and Los Rios regions.
ARAUCO has over 1,300 professional firefighters who are all properly trained and equipped to prevent fires and bring them under control. We have 89 fire trucks, 30 runways and helipads, 11 tanker planes, 17 helicopters, 4 heavy-duty helicopters, 3 coordination planes, 18 skidders for cutting fire-breaks, 2 bulldozers, 130 detection towers with automatic cameras, fire detection satellites, 3 detection centers, and the support from national and international specialist companies.
However, this year the damage caused by these fires has increased considerably, due to high temperatures, strong winds, low humidity, and the complexity of fighting many outbreaks that simultaneously appear in several places.
Arauco has approximately 47,000 hectares of productive forestry plantations potentially affected by the fires in the area where they occurred.

Arauco at the COP27 – UN Climate Change Conference in Egypt
Arauco attended the world’s most important climate summit for the third consecutive year. ARAUCO is a member of the “Friends of COP” group, which brings together business leaders from Latin America and the Caribbean committed to the challenges of global change. Accordingly, it aims to accelerate private sector commitments to further decarbonize the productive matrix and increase climate resilience across the region. As a company, we announced the measurement of our natural capital with the ambition of being Natural Net Positive. Our approach on this matter is based on three key dimensions:
• | Water management |
• | Biodiversity Conservation |
• | CO2 atmosphere reduction |
Held from November 6 to 18 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, the conference focused on accelerating global emissions reductions, extending adaptation and increasing financing to achieve these climate targets. The agenda included green finance, climate science, future generations, decarbonization, water, energy and biodiversity, which are all key dimensions for sustainable development.
Waste Revaluation Goal
In order to move towards a circular economy, our pulp business division is working towards increasing the percentage of waste revaluation of industrial non-hazardous waste, with a goal of achieving 100% revaluation by 2030. This process is highly relevant, as it contributes to diminish disposal of waste, to increase the lifespan of waste deposits and to benefit from resources present in that waste. Our non-hazardous waste, in the case of our pulp division, can be used in the production of concrete, as soil and pH improver in the agricultural and forestry industries and also in the manufacturing of fertilizers. In the case of our wood products division, we are working towards revaluing and reusing bark (organic waste) from our productive processes.
During 2022, we achieved approximately 60% and 47% of waste revaluation in our pulp and wood products division and when compared to the previous year, in our pulp and wood products division, we increased 4% and 17% respectively.
