FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 24.1. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to credit, liquidity and market risks, which are actively managed in compliance with the Financial Risk Management Policy (“Risk Policy”) and internal guidelines and strategic documents subject to such policy, executing the formal designation of its hedge accounting relations. The Risk Policy was approved by the Board of Directors on December 15, 2022, with a maximum validity of one year and validity in 2023 and is available at the Company’s website. The Company’s risk management strategy, guided by the Risk Policy, has as main objectives: » To protect the Company’s operating and financial results, as well as its equity from adverse changes in the market prices, particularly commodities, foreign exchange and interests; » To protect the Company against counterparty risks in existing financial operations as well as to establish guidelines for sustaining the necessary liquidity to fulfil its financial commitments; » To protect the cash of Company against price volatilities, adverse conditions in the markets in which the Company acts and adverse conditions in its production chain. The Risk Policy defines the governance of the bodies responsible for the execution, tracking and approval of the risk management strategies, as well as the limits and instruments that can be used. Additionally, the Management of the Company approved the following policies on November 10, 2021, which are available at the Company’s website: » Financial Policy, which aims to: (i) establish guidelines for the management of the Company's financial debt and capital structure; and (ii) guide the Company's decision-making in connection with cash management (financial investments). » Profit Allocation Policy, which aims to establish the practices adopted by the Company regarding the allocation of its profits, providing, among others, the periodicity of payment of dividends and the baseline used to establish the respective amount. 24.2. The Company is exposed to the credit risk related to the financial assets held: trade and non-trade accounts receivable, marketable securities, derivative instruments and cash and equivalents. The Company’s credit risk exposure can be assessed in notes 4, 5 and 6. 24.2.1. Credit risk in accounts receivable The credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable is actively managed through specific systems and is supported by internal policies for credit analysis. The significant level of diversification and geographical dispersion of the customer portfolio significantly reduces the risk. However, the Company chooses to complement the risk management by contracting insurance policies for specific markets. The impairment of these financial assets is carried out based on expected credit losses. 24.2.2. Counterparty credit risk The credit risk associated with marketable securities, cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments in general is directed to counterparties with Investment Grade ratings. The maintenance of assets with counterparty risk is constantly assessed according to credit ratings and the Company’s portfolio concentration, aligned with the applicable impairment requisites. On December 31, 2022, the Company held financial investments over R$100,000 at the following financial institutions: Banco Bradesco, Banco Daycoval, Banco do Brasil, Banco Pan, Banco Safra, Banco Santander, Banco Volkswagen, Banco Votorantim, Banco BNP, Banco BTG Pactual, Caixa Econômica Federal, HSBC, J.P. Morgan e XP. The Company also held derivative contracts with the following financial institutions: Banco Bradesco, Banco Itaú, Banco Safra, Banco Santander, Banco Votorantim, Bank Of America Merrill Lynch, Banco BNP, Banco BTG Pactual, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, Morgan Stanley, Rabobank, T.Garanti Bankasi A.Ş. e XP. 24.3. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk as far as it needs cash or other financial assets to settle its obligations in the respective terms. The Company’s cash and liquidity strategy takes into consideration historical volatility scenarios of results as well as simulations of sectorial and systemic crisis. It is grounded on allowing resilience in scenarios of capital restriction. The ideal capital structure definition at BRF is essentially associated with (i) strong cash position as a tolerance factor for liquidity shocks, which includes minimum cash analysis; (ii) net indebtedness; and (iii) maximization of the capital opportunity cost. On December 31, 2022, the non-current consolidated gross debt, as presented below, represented 83.75% (86.78% as of December 31, 2021) of the total gross debt, which has an average term higher than nine years.

Interest rate risk The interest rate risk may cause economic losses to the Company resulting from volatility in interest rates that affect its assets and liabilities. The Company’s Risk Policy does not restrict exposure to different interest rates, neither establishes limits for fixed or floating rates. However, the Company continually monitors the market interest rates in order to evaluate any need to enter into hedging transactions to protect from the volatility of such rates and manage the mismatch between its financial assets and liabilities. The Company’s exposure to interest rates is set forth below: Schedule of exposure to interest rates 12.31.22 Notional Index Assets Liabilities Derivative financial instruments Exposure, Net Fixed Fixed Reais 163,403 (399,625) (959,700) (1,195,922) Fixed U.S. Dollars (USD) 4,368,536 (13,543,817) 3,430,151 (5,745,130) Fixed Turkish Liras (TRY) 44,676 (512,500) (208,708) (676,532) Fixed Euros (EUR) 88,925 - 490,107 579,032 Fixed Kwanza (AOA) 74,278 - - 74,278 Fixed Other 39,841 - - 39,841 Floating Floating IPCA Reais - (5,574,682) 4,590,000 (984,682) Floating CDI Reais 4,265,762 (2,555,558) (7,341,850) (5,631,646) Floating Libor U.S. Dollars (USD) - (130,443) - (130,443) 9,045,421 (22,716,625) - (13,671,204) Interest and fair value adjustment of derivatives - (800,375) (126,019) (926,394) Total 9,045,421 (23,517,000) (126,019) (14,597,598) The derivative financial instruments used to hedge the exposure to interest rates as of December 31, 2022 are presented in the table below: Schedule of derivative financial instruments used to hedge the exposure to interest rates 12.31.22 Fair value (R$) Fair value hedge - Derivative instruments Hedged Object Maturity Asset Liability Notional Instrument Object (1) Interest rate swap Debenture - 1st Issue - 3rd series - IPCA + 5.50% p.a. 2nd Qtr. 2026 IPCA + 5.50% p.a.

Foreign exchange risk The risk is the one that may cause unexpected losses to the Company resulting from volatility of the FX rates, reducing its assets and revenues, or increasing its liabilities and costs. The Company’s exposure is managed in three dimensions: statement of financial position exposure, operating income exposure and investments exposure. i. Statement of financial position exposure The Risk Policy regarding statement of financial position exposure has the objective to balance assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, hedging the Company’s statement of financial position by using natural hedges, over-the-counter derivatives and exchange traded futures. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency for which the exchange variations are recognized in the Financial Results are as follows, summarized in Brazilian Reais: Schedule of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency 12.31.22 12.31.21 Cash and cash equivalents 3,691,668 2,064,631 Trade accounts receivable 6,013,713 6,377,104 Trade accounts payable (1,484,810) (1,221,354) Loans and borrowings (12,241,309) (16,726,412) Other assets and liabilities, net 35,371 49,732 Exposure of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies (3,985,367) (9,456,299) Derivative financial instruments (hedge) 3,721,930 8,454,971 Exposure in result, net (263,437) (1,001,328) The net P&L exposure is mainly composed of the following currencies: Schedule of net P&L exposure Net P&L Exposure 12.31.22 12.31.21 Argentinian Peso (ARS) (4,614) (5,783) Angolan kwanza (AOA) 53,723 318,660 Euros (EUR) (43,445) 33,381 Chilean Pesos (CLP) 256,121 169,301 Yen (JPY) (3,268) 77,178 Turkish Liras (TRY) 214,936 266,541 U.S. Dollars (USD) (736,890) (1,860,606) Total (263,437) (1,001,328) The Company is exposed to other currencies, although they have been grouped in the currencies above due to its high correlation or for not being individually significant. The Company holds more financial liabilities in foreign currencies than assets and, therefore, holds derivative financial instruments to reduce such exposure. The derivative financial instruments acquired to hedge the foreign currency statement of financial position exposure on December 31, 2022 and are set forth below: Schedule of derivative financial instruments 12.31.22 Derivative instruments not designated Asset Liability Maturity Notional Exercise rate Fair value (R$) Non-deliverable forward EUR BRL 1st Qtr. 2023 EUR 88,000 5.7452 (2,059) Futures - B3 USD BRL 1st Qtr. 2023 USD 90,000 5.3240 3,939 Non-deliverable forward USD TRY 1st Qtr. 2023 USD 30,000 19.2285 (1,294) Non-deliverable forward USD TRY 2nd Qtr. 2023 USD 10,000 20.0300 (2,898) (2,312) Schedule of fair value hedge - derivative instruments 12.31.22 Fair value (R$) Fair value hedge - Derivative instruments Hedged Object Maturity Asset Liability Notional Instrument Object (1) FX and interest rate swap BRF SA BRFSBZ 3.95 2nd Qtr. 2023 FX + 3,95% p.a. 98.77% CDI 234,033 USD (31,935) 39,107 FX and interest rate swap BRF SA BRFSBZ 4 3/4 3rd Qtr. 2024 FX + 4,75% p.a. 104.48% CDI 295,363 USD (52,698) 22,058 529,396 (84,633) 61,165 (1) Corresponds to the accumulated amount of fair value hedge adjustments on the hedged items, included in the carrying amount of the senior unsecured notes. ii. Operating income exposure The Risk Policy regarding operating income exposure has the objective to hedge revenues and costs denominated in foreign currencies. The Company is supported by internal models to measure and monitor these risks, and uses financial instruments for hedging, designating the relations as cash flow hedges. The Company has more sales in foreign currency than expenditures and, therefore, holds derivative financial instruments to reduce such exposure. The derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges for foreing exchange operating income exposure on December 31, 2022 are set forth below: Schedule of operating income exposure 12.31.22 Cash flow hedge - Derivative instruments Hedged object Asset Liability Maturity Notional Designation rate Fair value Non-deliverable forward USD Exports BRL USD 1st Qtr. 2023 USD 268,000 5.3950 27,249 Non-deliverable forward USD Exports BRL USD 2nd Qtr. 2023 USD 25,000 5.5406 3,337 Non-deliverable forward USD Exports BRL USD 4th Qtr. 2023 USD 3,000 5.5740 (53) Collar USD Exports BRL USD 1st Qtr. 2023 USD 130,000 5.3785 2,437 Collar USD Exports BRL USD 2nd Qtr. 2023 USD 50,000 5.5296 2,929 Collar USD Exports BRL USD 3rd Qtr. 2023 USD 15,000 5.6892 1,273 Collar USD Exports BRL USD 4th Qtr. 2023 USD 5,000 5.7500 503 37,675 iii.

(2) Designated on August 1st, 2019. (3) Designated on November 9, 2022. 24.4.3. Commodities price risk The Company uses commodities as production inputs and is exposed to commodities price risk arising from future purchases. The management of such risk is performed through physical inventories, future purchases at fixed price and through derivative financial instruments. The Risk Policy establishes coverage limits to the flow of purchases of corn and soy with the purpose of reducing the impact due to a price increase of these raw materials. The hedge may be reached using derivatives or by inventory management. The Company performs purchases at variable prices in future and spot markets and, to hedge such exposure, it holds derivative financial instruments in long position (buy) to fix these prices in advance.

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 December 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.
