Report on review of parent company and
consolidated interim financial statements
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Natura &Co Holding S.A.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim statement of financial position of Natura &Co Holding S.A. ("Company") as at 31 March 2022 and the related statements of income and comprehensive income for the quarter then ended, and the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the quarter then ended, as well as the accompanying consolidated interim statement of financial position of Natura &Co Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries ("Consolidated") as at 31 March 2022 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the quarter then ended, and the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the quarter then ended, and explanatory notes.
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these parent company and consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the accounting standard CPC 21, Interim Financial Reporting, of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim financial statements based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial 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). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for 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 Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently did 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
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying parent company and consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34.

Statements of value added
The interim financial statements referred to above include the parent company and consolidated statements of value added for the quarter ended 31 March 2022. These statements are the responsibility of the Company's management and are presented as supplementary information. These statements have been subjected to review procedures performed together with the review of the interim financial statements for the purpose of concluding whether they are reconciled with the interim financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in the accounting standard CPC 09 - "Statement of Value Added". Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these statements of value added have not been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established in this accounting standard, and consistent with the parent company and consolidated interim financial statements taken as a whole.

(Amounts in thousands of Reais - R$, except as mentioned otherwise)
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The main accounting policies applied in the preparation of this individual and consolidated interim accounting information are consistent with those applied and disclosed in note 3 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, issued on March 9, 2022, except for the rules and changes effective as of January 1, 2022, which has not entailed any significant changes in the individual and consolidated interim accounting information of the Company.
Additionally, the Company adopted International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 9, Financial Instruments, for hedge accounting on January 1, 2022, replacing IAS 39, Financial Instruments (CPC 38), which the Company had elected to keep in force for hedge accounting from the first-time adoption of IFRS 9 (CPC 48) on January 1, 2018. The transition to IFRS 9 was carried out prospectively and pre-existing hedging relationships were treated as ongoing hedging relationships, without loss of effectiveness or designation in transition. The adoption of IFRS 9 did not produce significant effects on the financial statements.
This individual and consolidated interim accounting information should be read in conjunction with the latest annual financial statement.
The same accounting policies are applicable for the three-month comparative period ended March 31, 2021 (except for the aforementioned rules and amendments, which did not have a significant effect on the Company's individual and consolidated interim accounting information).
4. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS |
The areas that require a higher level of judgment and have greater complexity, as well as the areas in which assumptions and estimates are significant for the interim accounting information, were presented in note 5 of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the interim accounting information for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 have not changed significantly.

5.1 | Risks associated with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine |
In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale military invasion and is now engaged in a wide-ranging military conflict with Ukraine. In response, governments and authorities around the world, including the United States, United Kingdom and the European Union, recently announced sanctions on certain sectors and parts of industry in Russia. These and any additional sanctions, as well as any possible responses that may be provided by the governments of Russia or other jurisdictions, could adversely affect the Company’s business.

NATURA &CO HOLDING S.A.
NOTES TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND CONSOLIDATED INTERIM ACCOUNTING INFORMATION FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2022
(Amounts in thousands of Reais - R$, except as mentioned otherwise)
So far, the conflict resulted in the suspension of The Body Shop and Aesop's operations in Russia and the Russian plant's exports to other countries in the region, which began to be supplied by the Company’s unit in Poland. Avon, however, continues to supply its dealer network in Russia. Administrative operations in Ukraine that were performed inside the Company’s facilities are temporarily idle considering the impossibility of guaranteeing the safety of local workers. The Company cannot predict the duration of idleness, as this will depend on the remaining course of the conflict and the establishment of safe and stable operational and logistical conditions. As of the date of this interim accounting information, the Company confirms that the facilities, as well as the assets and inventories held therein, have not been damaged and are in an adequate condition to be operated and sold as safety conditions improve.
As of the date of the interim accounting information, there are no material impacts of the above matter on the Company's consolidated interim accounting information, due to the Company's limited operations in Russia and Ukraine, which together represent less than 5% of consolidated net revenue.
Regarding operations in Russia, on the date of this interim accounting information, no significant impacts were identified that affect the business model for the management of financial assets or the classification of these assets. Additionally, there are no indications of a significant increase in the expected credit loss associated with operations, considering the maintenance of receivables collection levels and the increase in cash transactions (considering the reduction in credit operations as a result of restrictions imposed locally and of credit card processing companies in the country).
Considering the maintenance of collection levels and sales operations for the local market in Russia, as well as the inexistence of significant restrictions that affect the Company's ability to carry out the management and cash movement necessary to maintain its operations, there is no significant risk of liquidity related to these events that affect this interim accounting information. Similarly, market risks associated with the transaction, including interest rate, currency and other price risks, including raw materials, did not significantly affect the Company's financial assets, considering the supply of production to the market. from the Russian manufacturing units and the expectation of recoverability of the amounts in the normal course of business.
Regarding the operations in Ukraine, the suspension of sales in March and the reduction in the collection of outstanding receivables resulted in an increase in the provision for losses on accounts receivable on March 31, 2022. This effect, however, is not material for this consolidated interim accounting information. Additionally, considering the absence of restrictions imposed on the movement of cash and cash equivalents, raising funds in the normal course of business and for making payments and receipts, at the date of the interim accounting information, there are no significant impacts on the liquidity of the operations in this location.
As a result of the developments of the conflict in the quarter, there were still no impacts resulting from possible breaches of covenants or losses related to derecognition and/or modification of financial instruments or reclassification of cash flow hedge reserve amounts as a result of loss of effectiveness of derivatives recognized by hedge accounting or by the loss of expectation that transactions evaluated as highly probable will actually occur.

The Company's Management is continuously monitoring developments to assess any possible future impacts that may arise as a result of the ongoing crisis, including the impairment of financial and non-financial assets, which Management assesses based on the best available information.
5.2 | COVID-19 impacts |
The Company continues to monitor the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic in the markets it operates, especially with regards to restrictive measures adopted by these jurisdictions. The Crisis Committee continuously analyzes the situation and acts to minimize impacts on the operations and on the equity and financial position of the Company, with the objective of implementing appropriate measures, ensuring the continuity of operations, hedge cash, improve liquidity and promote the health and safety of all. We observed a reduction on the market restrictions during the first quarter of 2022, when compared to the end of 2021 and the first quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2022 we did not identify any material impacts on the Company’s financial position and will continue to monitor potential future impacts.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities substantially encompass assets and liabilities classified as level 2 in the fair value estimate hierarchy, the assessment of which is based on techniques that use, other than the prices quoted in level 1, other pieces of information adopted by the market in a direct (i.e., as prices) or indirect (i.e., resulting from prices) manner. To measure the fair value, the carrying amount represents an amount that is reasonably near to the fair value, as described below:
(i) | the balances of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivables, accounts payable to suppliers and other current liabilities are equivalent to their carrying amounts, mainly due to the short-term maturities of these instruments; |
(ii) | the balances of the short-term investments measured at amortized cost approximate their fair values as a result of the transactions to be conducted at floating interest rates; and b) measured at fair value through profit or loss based on the rates agreed with the financial institutions considering the agreed rates among the |

parties, including market information that allows for such calculation;
(iii) | the carrying amounts of borrowing, financing and debentures are measured at their amortized cost and disclosed at fair value, which does not differ materially from the carrying amounts as the agreed interest rates are consistent with current market rates; and |
(iv) | the fair value of exchange rate derivatives (swap and forwards) is determined based on the future exchange rates at the dates of the balance sheets, with the resulting amount being discounted at present value. |
There was no transfer between measurement levels in the fair value hierarchy in the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 for these assets and liabilities. Additionally, there were no material effects in the quarter on the fair value of financial assets and liabilities as a result of the increase in price volatility in markets affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, counterparty risk in financial assets or inactivity of markets considered in the valuation.

This reclassification does not affect the total current assets, only reclassification between lines of recoverable taxes and income tax and social contribution.
a) | Tax credits related to the tax on the circulation of goods, interstate and inter-municipal transport and communication services (ICMS) were generated mainly by purchases, whose tax rate is higher than the average of sales. The Company expects to realize these credits during the ordinary course of business through offsetting with sales operations in the domestic market. |
b) | The accumulated tax credits of PIS and COFINS basically arise from credits on purchases of raw materials used in the production and from purchase of property, plant and equipment, as well as credits arising out of the exclusion of ICMS from the calculation basis of the PIS/COFINS. The realization of these credits normally occurs through offsetting with sales operations in the domestic market. |
c) | The balance will be used to offset IPI (Taxes over industrialized products) payable in future operations of the Company. |

11. | INCOME TAX AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION |
The effective rate calculated by the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 was 16% negative. This percentage is based on a loss before tax of R$ 520,098 and an income tax credit of R$ 82,488. The main components that cause the effective rate to deviate from the nominal income tax rate of 34% are different income by country, tax loss carryforwards from certain jurisdictions that cannot benefit from deferred income tax assets, and permanent effects related to withholding income tax arising from transactions between group entities offset by favorable net permanent items, including investment subsidies and other incentives.
The effective rate calculated by the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was negative by 95%. This percentage is based on a loss before tax of R$95,208 and income tax expense of R$90,093. The main components that cause the effective rate to deviate from the nominal income tax rate of 34% are the tax losses of certain jurisdictions that cannot benefit from the deferred income tax assets, permanent effects related to the income tax withheld at source originated in transactions between the group companies that cannot be used and the additional recognition of deferred income tax liability arising from the announcement made by the Government of England that the nominal rate would not be reduced from 19% to 17%. Excluding the adverse effects of reconciling items that resulted primarily from tax jurisdictions in which the Company is currently unable to obtain an income tax benefit, the Company's effective tax rate would be approximately 29.5%.

(Amounts in thousands of Reais - R$, except as mentioned otherwise)
As of December 31, 2021, the assets held for sale included the property of the subsidiary Avon, located in Brazil and used by the Company for the distribution of products. This property had been classified as a non-current asset held for sale considering the decision and formal approval by management at the time of carrying out the sale of the asset and the identification of a buyer who contractually assumed the obligation to carry out the transaction. However, the completion of the transaction was subject to aspects and circumstances such as those provided for in CPC 31 - Non-Current Assets Held for Sale (IFRS 5) outside the Company's control, which did not affect the Company's commitment to the sale plan and classification as non-current assets held for sale.
In March 2022, in view of these circumstances and with the end of the contractual term, the buyer chose not to renew the term for completion of the transaction, and the respective balances were reclassified to property, plant and equipment. In the reclassification, the Company measured the non-current asset that is no longer classified as held for sale at the lower of its’ carrying amount before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for the depreciation that would have been recognized had the asset not been classified as held for sale and its recoverable amount at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell it.
As a result of the reclassification, the total amount transferred to property, plant and equipment, before the recognition of the additional depreciation referred to in the previous paragraph, is R$54,791. The additional depreciation recognized in the income statement on transfer is R$6,001.

31. | EARNINGS PER SHARE |
The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit (loss) attributable to the Company’s shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares, excluding common shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares.
Consolidated | ||
March 31, 2022 | March 31, 2021 | |
Loss attributable to the Company’s controlling shareholders | (643,092) | (155,169) |
Weighted average of the number of issued common shares | 1,379,706,174 | 1,375,484,203 |
Weighted average number of shares in treasury | (9,632,014) | (808,328) |
Weighted average of the number of outstanding common shares | 1,370,074,160 | 1,374,675,875 |
Basic loss per share – R$ | (0.4694) | (0.1129) |
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming the conversion of all potential common shares that would cause dilution. Considering that the Company recorded a loss for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, any adjustment would have an anti-dilution effect and, therefore, the diluted loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share.
