1.3. Discontinued Operations
In the first quarter of 2022, BRF S.A. and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement with Tyson International Holding Co. and Tyson Foods, Inc., in connection with the sale of BRF’s operations in Europe and Thailand, closed on June 3, 2019. This agreement provides for the termination of certain disputes related to losses incurred by the disposed entities and also terminates Tyson's license to use certain BRF trademarks, with payment of the amount equivalent to R$34,540 (USD7,000) by BRF. This transaction resulted in an expense which is presented under Net Loss from Discontinued Operations, consistently with the practice adopted in the sale of the operations in 2019.
1.4. | Investigations involving BRF |
BRF S.A. | INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION – March 31, 2022 | 32 |
The Company has been subject to two investigations conducted by Brazilian governmental entities, denominated “Carne Fraca Operation” in 2017 and “Trapaça Operation” in 2018. The Company’s Audit and Integrity Committee conducted independent investigations, along with the Independent Investigation Committee, composed of external members and with external legal advisors in Brazil and abroad with respect to the allegations involving BRF employees and former employees. In 2021, the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) issued letters notifying the closure of the investigation against BRF, with no imposition of any sanctions or penalties against the Company.
The main impacts observed as result of the referred investigations were recorded in Other Operating Expenses in the amount of R$180 for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2022 (R$5,237 in the same period of the previous year) mostly related to expenditures with lawyers, legal advisors and consultants.
In addition to the impacts already recorded, there are uncertainties about the outcome of these investigations which may result in penalties, fines and normative sanctions, right restrictions and other forms of liabilities, for which the Company is not able to make a reliable estimate of the potential losses. The outcomes may result in payments of substantial amounts, which may cause a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results and cash flows in the future.
1.5. Seasonality
During the months of November and December of each year, the Company is impacted by seasonality in the Brazil operating segment due to Christmas and New Year’s Celebrations. The products that are relevant contributors are: turkey, Chester®, ham and pork cuts (hind leg/pork loin).
In the International operating segment, seasonality is due to Ramadan, which is the holy month of the Muslim calendar. The beginning of Ramadan depends on the beginning of the moon cycle and in 2022 it takes place between April 2nd, 2022 and May 1st, 2022.

The uncertainty inherent to these judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities in future periods.
Any judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed at each reporting period.
The parent company’s and consolidated interim financial information were prepared based on the recoverable historical cost, except for the following material items recognized in the statements of financial position:

Deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences will be realized as the differences are settled or realized. The period of settlement or realization of such differences is subject to externalities and is linked to several factors that are not under the control of Management.
In estimating the realization of deferred tax credits on tax losses carryforward, Management considers its budget and strategic plans, which were approved by the Board of Directors, adjusted for changes in economic assumptions and based on the estimates of the main tax additions and exclusions. The recoverability study is reviewed by the Fiscal

The Company has agreements with several financial institutions that allow the suppliers to anticipate their receivables. The suppliers may choose whether to participate and if so, with which institution. The anticipation allows the suppliers to better manage their cash flow needs. This flexibility allows the Company to intensify its commercial relations with the network of suppliers by potentially leveraging benefits such as preference for supply in case of restricted supply, better price conditions and/or more flexible payment terms, among others, without identifiable changes in other commercial conditions. The operations presented in this line item are the ones in which there were changes in the payment terms and prices negotiated with the suppliers.
On March 31, 2022, the discount rates applied to the supply chain finance transactions agreed between our suppliers and the financial institutions in the domestic market were set between 0.88% and 1.21% p.m. (0.67% to 1.02% p.m. on December 31, 2021).

On December 16, 2021, the Financial Risk Management Policy was amended and from this date, non-derivative financial instruments may only be designated as hedge instruments in net investment hedge relations. Thus, on December 16, 2021, the cash flow hedge relations presented below were discontinued because the hedging instruments were non-derivative financial instruments (loans) and no longer met the Company’s strategies and objectives.

BRF S.A. | INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION – March 31, 2022 | 66 |
24.6. | Sensitivity analysis |
The Management believes that the most relevant risks that may affect the Company’s results are the volatility of commodities prices and foreign exchange rates. Currently the fluctuation of the interest rates does not affect significantly the Company’s results since Management has chosen to keep at fixed rates a considerable portion of its debts.
The amounts below represent the possible impacts (incremental results) of the hedging instruments and their respective hedged positions, considering situations of increase and decrease in the selected risk factors.
The information used in the preparation of the analysis is based on the position as of March 31, 2022, which has been described in the items above. The estimated values may differ significantly to numbers and results that will be effectively registered by the Company. Positive values indicate gains and negative values indicate losses.

24.8. | Fair value of financial instruments |
The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Depending on the inputs used for measurement, the financial instruments at fair value may be classified into 3 hierarchy levels:
» | Level 1 – Uses quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets. In this category are classified investments in stocks, savings accounts, overnights, term deposits, Financial Treasury Bills (“LFT”) and investment funds; |
» | Level 2 – Uses prices quoted in active markets for similar instruments, prices quoted for identical or similar instruments in non-active markets and evaluation models for which inputs are observable. In this level are classified the investments in Bank Deposit Certificates (“CDB”) and derivatives, which are measured by well-known pricing models: discounted cash flows and Black-Scholes. The observable inputs are interest rates and curves, volatility factors and foreign exchange rates; |
» | Level 3 – Instruments for which significant inputs are non-observable. The Company does not have financial instruments in this category. |
The table below presents the overall classification of financial instruments measured at fair value by measurement hierarchy. For the three-month period ended on March 31, 2022, there were no changes among the 3 levels of hierarchy.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
BRF S.A.
Itajaí - SC
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of BRF S.A. (“the Company”) contained in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which comprises the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2022 and the respective statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.
The Company's management is responsible for the preparation of this individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Demonstração Intermediária and IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as for the presentation of this information in accordance with standards issued by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information Form - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International standards on review engagements of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for the financial and accounting matters and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the Quarterly Information Form – ITR referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, issued by IASB, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information Form - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM.
Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to explanatory note 1.4 to the interim financial information, individual and consolidated, which describe the investigations concluded by United States Government authorities and the ongoing investigations conducted by Brazilian Government authorities involving the Company, as well as their current and potential developments. In the current stage of the ongoing investigations, it is not possible to determine the potential financial and non-financial impacts on the Company resulting from them and their potential developments and, consequently, to record potential losses which could have a material adverse effect on the Company´s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the future. Our conclusion is not qualified in respect of these matters.
Other matters - Statements of Value Added
The interim financial information mentioned above includes Statements of Value Added, individual and consolidated, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management, presented as supplementary information for the purposes of IAS 34. These statements were submitted to review procedures together with the review of the Quarterly Information, with the objective of concluding whether they are reconciled with the interim financial information and accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Added Value. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that it has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria defined in this Pronouncement and consistent with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
