| 9.1. | ICMS – tax on movement of goods and services and VAT – value added taxes |
As result of the activity, the Company generates recoverable ICMS balances that are offset against ICMS payables arising from sales in the domestic market or that are transferred to third parties.
The Company has recoverable ICMS balances in the States of Paraná, Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais and Amazonas, which will be realized in the short and long term, based on the recoverability study reviewed and approved by the Management.
In other jurisdictions outside Brazil, value added taxes (VAT) are due in regular operations of the Company with goods and services, with expectations of achievement in the short and long term.
| 9.2. | PIS and COFINS – social integration plan and contribution for social security |
The accumulated recoverable PIS and COFINS balances arise from taxes on raw material purchases subsequently used in the production of exported products or products for which sale is not taxed, as well as recoverable taxes on commercial and labor expenses. The realization of these balances usually occurs through the offsetting with taxes payable on sales of taxed products in the domestic market, with other federal taxes and social security contributions payable, or even, if applicable, through refund or reimbursement requests.
As of March 31, 2024, the updated balance of the processes related to the exclusion of the ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis recognized by the Company is R$1,919,804 (R$2,013,799 as of March 31, 2023). The monetary update of balances is recognized against Net financial income (expenses).

The Company recognized tax assets as result of gains from lawsuits related to IPI, specially “crédito prêmio”. The balance referring to these assets in the Parent Company and Consolidated on March 31, 2024 is R$1,144,659 (R$1,110,006 for the year ended December 31, 2023), of which R$1,112,108 (R$1,087,749 for the year ended December 31, 2023) is recorded as Recoverable Taxes and the remainder, referring to cases in which the government will reimburse in cash, is recorded as Other Non-Current Assets, in the amount of R$32,551 (R$22,257 for the year ended December 31, 2023). The monetary update of balances is recognized against Net financial income (expenses).
The accumulated recoverable income taxes arise, mostly, from withholding taxes on securities, interest and prepayments of income tax and social contribution in Brazil. The realization occurs through the offset with federal taxes and contributions payable.
| 9.5. | Realization of Brazilian federal tax credits |
The Company used PIS, COFINS, IPI, and other recoverable taxes to offset federal taxes payable such as INSS, Income Taxes and other in the amount of R$379,328 in the Parent Company and Consolidated for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2024 (R$374,623 in the Parent Company and Consolidated in the same period of the previous year), preserving its liquidity and optimizing its capital structure.

The Company has agreements with several financial institutions that allow the suppliers to anticipate their receivables and, therefore, transfer the right to receive invoices with financial institutions (“Supply Chain Finance” or “Program”). The suppliers may choose whether to participate and if so, with which financial institution, with no participation by BRF.

The Program can generate benefits in the commercial relations of BRF and its suppliers, such as preference and priority of supply in case of restricted supply, better commercial conditions, among others, without modification to the commercial essence of the transaction.
Invoices included in the Program are paid according to the same price and term conditions negotiated with its suppliers, without incurring any charge to the Company, so that there are no changes in commercial conditions after negotiation and invoicing of goods or services.
Invoices included in the Supply Chain Finance are R$3,951,700 in the Parent Company and R$4,150,606 in the Consolidated on March 31, 2024 (R$4,760,488 in the Parent Company and R$4,941,716 in the Consolidated on December 31, 2023).
The Company measures and discriminates the adjustment to present value for all its commercial operations carried out in installments, specifying financial and operational items.
The Company is lessee in several lease agreements for forest lands, offices, distribution centers, outgrowers, vehicles, among others. Some contracts have a renewal option for an additional period at the end of the agreement, established by contractual amendments. Automatic renewals or renewals for undetermined periods are not allowed.
The contract clauses mentioned, with respect to renewal, readjustment and purchase option, are contracted according to market practices. In addition, there are no clauses of contingent payments or restrictions on dividends distribution, payments of interest on shareholders’ equity or obtaining debt.
The right-of-use assets as set forth below are part of the balances of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (note 13).

| 23.2. | Market risk management |
| 23.2.1. | 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:
| | Consolidated |
| | 03.31.24 | | 12.31.23 |
Cash and cash equivalents | | 3,233,120 | | 2,970,268 |
Trade accounts receivable | | 4,918,438 | | 4,788,635 |
Trade accounts payable | | (1,029,309) | | (1,195,133) |
Loans and borrowings | | (8,760,881) | | (8,715,484) |
Other assets and liabilities, net | | 100,092 | | (30,310) |
Exposure of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies | | (1,538,540) | | (2,182,024) |
Derivative financial instruments (hedge) | | 1,948,518 | | 2,033,346 |
Exposure in result, net | | 409,978 | | (148,678) |

The net exposure in Reais is mainly composed of the following currencies:
Net Exposure (1) | | 03.31.24 | | 12.31.23 |
U.S. Dollars (USD) | | (106,076) | | (513,164) |

Argentinian Peso (ARS) | | (3,389) | | (3,146) |
Chilean Pesos (CLP) | | 263,199 | | 220,116 |
Total | | 409,978 | | (148,678) |
| (1) | 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.
As a result of this protection strategy the Company recognized as Financial Expenses in the Consolidate an income of foreign exchange of derivatives of R$73,185 for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2024 (expense of R$108,804 in the same period of the previous year). This derivative result offsets a foreign exchange expense over assets and liabilities in the Consolidate of R$79,211 for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2024 (income of R$143,194 in the same period of the previous year).

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.
As a result of this protection strategy the Company recognized in the Consolidate Net Revenue an income of R$47,437 for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2024 (R$55,206 in the same period of the previous year).
The derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges for foreing exchange operating income exposure on March 31, 2024 are set forth below:

| (1) | Correspond to the not realized portion of the hedge which is registered in Other comprehensive income. |
iii) Investments exposure
The Company holds both investments (net assets) and loans (financial liabilities) denominated in foreign currency. To balance the accounting effects of such exposures, some non-derivative financial liabilities are designated as hedging instruments for the investments exposure.
As a result of this strategy, the Company recognized expense of R$38,880, net of income tax, under Other comprehensive income for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2024 (R$52,942 in the same period of the previous year).
The non-derivative financial instruments designated as net investment hedge instruments on March 31, 2024 are set forth below:

| 23.2.2. | 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, meal and soy, soybeans and soybean oil 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.
As a result of this protection strategy the Company recognized in the Consolidate Cost of goods sold an expense of R$120,742 for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2024 (income of R$14,413 in the same period of the previous year).
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.
The financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges for the variable commodities price exposure on March 31, 2024 are set forth below:

| (1) | Base price of each commodity in USD/ton, except for Corn – B3 denominated in R$/ton. |
In certain cases, the Company performs futures purchases at fixed prices and, to hedge such exposure, it holds derivative financial instruments in short position (sell) to keep these prices at market value. The financial instruments designated as fair value hedges for the fixed commodities price exposure on March 31, 2024 are set forth below:

| 23.2.3. | 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.
As a result of this protection strategy the Company recognize in the Consolidated Financial Income and Expenses an income of R$105,375 for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2024 (expense of R$13,509 in the same period of the previous year).

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.
| 23.3.1. | 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.
| 23.3.2. | 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.
| 23.4. | Capital management and liquidity risk |
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.
| 23.5. | Sensitivity analysis |
Management believes that the most relevant risks that may affect the Company’s results, for which it uses derivative financial instruments to protect, are the volatility of commodities prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates.
For the probable scenario of commodities, Management uses as a reference the future value of assets on March 31, 2024 and therefore understands that there will be no changes in the results of operations. As for the exchange rate, Management uses the Focus report for the American Dollar as a reference inserting the quotes for the current and subsequent years. The likely scenario for other currencies is determined based on the US Dollar parity.
In the possible and remote scenarios, both positive and negative variations of 15% and 30% respectively were considered in both cases from the probable scenario. Such sensitivity scenarios originate from information and assumptions used by Management in monitoring the previously mentioned risks.
The information used in the preparation of the analysis is based on the position as of March 31, 2024, 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.

| 23.7. | 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 accounted at fair value by measurement hierarchy. For the three-month period ended on March 31, 2024, there were no changes among the 3 levels of hierarchy.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INDIVIDUAL AND CONSOLIDATED 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), comprised in the Quarterly Information Form for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, comprising the balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and the respective statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the period of three months then ended, including the explanatory notes.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with NBC TG 21 – Interim Financial Reporting and with the international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (Iasb), such as for the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable to the preparation of interim financial information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Review scope
We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International standards on reviews of interim information (NBC TR 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). The review of interim 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 standards on auditing 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 individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information form referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NBC TG 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of interim financial information and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.
Other matters
Statements of value added
