To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Vale S.A.

 

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Vale S.A. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of cash flows and of stockholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013. This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Expressed in millions of United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated

 

1.            Operational Context

 

Vale S.A. (the “Parent Company”) is a public limited liability company headquartered at 26, Av. Graça Aranha, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with securities traded on the Brazilian (“BM&F BOVESPA”), New York (“NYSE”), Paris (“NYSE Euronext”) and Hong Kong (“HKEx”) stock exchanges.

 

Vale S.A. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“Vale”, “Group”, “Company” or “we”) are principally engaged in the research, production and sale of iron ore and pellets, nickel, fertilizer, copper, coal, manganese, ferroalloys, cobalt, platinum group metals and precious metals. The Company also operates in the segments of energy and steel. The information by segment is presented in Note 24.

 

2.             Summary of the Main Accounting Practices and Accounting Estimates

 

a)            Basis of presentation

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company (“Interim Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

Interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as adjusted to reflect: (i) the fair value of held for trade financial instruments measured at fair value through the Statement of Income and available for sale financial instruments measured at fair value through the Statement of Comprehensive Income; and (ii) the impairment loss.

 

These condensed interim financial statements have been reviewed, not audited. However, principles, estimates, accounting practices, measurement methods and standards adopted are consistent with those presented in the financial statements as of December 31, 2013, except as otherwise disclosed. These interim financial statements were prepared by Vale to update users about relevant information presented in the period and should be read with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

We evaluated subsequent events through April 28, 2014, which was the date of the Interim financial statement were approved by the Executive Officers.

 

b)            Functional currency and presentation currency

 

The Interim Financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”), which in the case of the Parent Company is the Brazilian Real (“BRL” or “R$”). For presentation purposes, these Interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“USD” or “US$”) as we understand this is how our international investors are used to analyze our interim financial statements in order to take their decisions.

 

Operations in other currencies are translated into the functional currency of each entity using the actual exchange rates in force on the respective transactions dates. The foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation at the exchange rates in force at the end of the period are recognized in the Statement of Income as financial expense or income. The exceptions are transactions for which gains and losses are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

Statement of Income and Balance Sheet of all Group entities whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: (i) Assets, liabilities and Stockholders’ equity (except components described in item (iii)) for each Balance Sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the Balance Sheet date; (ii) income and expenses for each Statement of Income are translated at the average exchange rates, except for specific transactions that, considering their significance, are translated at the rate at the dates of the transactions and; (iii) capital, capital reserves and treasury stock are translated at the rate at the dates of each transaction. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in a separate component of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the “Cumulative Translation Adjustment” account, and subsequently transferred to the Statement of Income when the assets are realized.

In September 2013, Vale announced its intention to dispose the control over its subsidiary VLI S.A. (“VLI”), which aggregates all operations of General cargo logistic segment. As consequence, the General Cargo logistic segment was treated as discontinued operations and assets and liabilities were reclassified to non-current asset / liabilities held for sale.

 

As part of the disposal process in a first stage, we entered into agreements to transfer its 20% stock on VLI capital to Mitsui & Co. in the amount of US$667 and 15.9% for Fundo de Garantia de Tempo de Serviço (“FGTS”) by amount US$530. In a second stage we entered into agreement to transfer 26.5% to investment fund managed by Brookfield Asset Management by an amount of US$884. The operation was subject to revision by the Brazilian Administrative Council for Economic Defense Agency (“Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica” or “CADE”) which had approved the first stage of the transaction in March, 2014. The first stage was concluded in April 2014 (subsequent event).”

 

Approximately US$884 of the total amount of transaction will be contributed directly on the VLI.

 

Since January 1, 2014, the investment in VLI is being treated as investment in associate (note 11).

 

Energy Generation Assets

 

In December 2013, the company signed agreements with CEMIG Geração e Transmissão S.A. (“CEMIG GT”), as follow : (i) to sell 49% of it stakes of 9% over Norte Energia S.A.(“Norte Energia”), company responsible for construction, operation and exploration of Hydroelectric facility of Belo Monte (“Belo Monte”), and (ii) Creation of a Joint venture Aliança Geração de Energia S/A (“Aliança”) to be constituted by Vale and CEMIG through contribution of their holdings within following power generation assets: Porto Estrela, Igarapava, Funil, Capim Branco I e II, Aimorés and Candonga. No cash will be disbursed as part of the transaction. Vale and CEMIG GT will hold respectively 55% and 45% of this new company and the supply of electricity to Vale operations, previously guaranteed by their own generation, will be secured by long-term contract.

 

The operation above is still pending approval from Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (“Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica” or “ANEEL”). The assets were transferred to assets held for sale with no impact in the Statement of Income.

15.          Asset retirement obligation

 

The Company uses various judgments and assumptions when measuring its obligations related to the retirement of assets. The accrued amounts of these obligations are not deducted from the potential costs covered by insurance or indemnities, because their recovery is considered uncertain.

 

Long term interest rates used to discount these obligations to their present values and to update the provisions as at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were 5.03% p.a. The liability is periodically updated based on these discount rates plus the inflation index (IGPM) for the period.

 

The changes in the provision for asset retirement obligation are as follows:

Provisions for tax litigation - The nature of tax contingencies balances refer to discussions on the basis of calculation of the Financial Compensation for Exploiting Mineral Resources (“CFEM”) and denials of compensation claims of credits in the settlement of federal taxes in Brazil, and mining taxes in our foreign subsidiaries. The other causes refer to the charges of Additional Port Workers Compensation (“AITP”) and questions about the location for the purpose of incidence of Service Tax (“ISS”).

 

Provisions for civil litigation - They are related to the demands that involve contracts between Vale and unrelated companies with their service providers, requiring differences in values due to alleged losses that have occurred due to various economic plans, other demands are related to accidents, actions damages and still others related to monetary compensation in action vindicatory.

 

Provisions for labor and social security litigation - Consist of lawsuits filed by employees and service providers, from employment relationship. The most recurring claims are payment of overtime, hours in intinere, and health and safety. The social security contingencies are from legal and administrative disputes between the INSS and the Vale companies, relating to compulsory social security or not.

 

In addition to those provisions, there are judicial deposits. These court-ordered deposits are accruing interest and are reported in noncurrent assets. Judicial deposits are as follows:

17.          Income Taxes Settlement Program (“REFIS”)

 

In November 2013, The Company elected to participate in the a corporate Income Tax Settlement Program (“REFIS”) for payment of amounts relating to income tax and social contribution on the net income of its non-Brazilian subsidiaries and affiliates from 2003 to 2012.

 

In March 31, 2014, the amount of US$7,272 will be paid in 175 monthly installments, bearing interest at the selic rate.

 

18.          Deferred Income Taxes

 

We analyze the potential tax impact associated with undistributed earnings of each our subsidiaries and affiliates. For those subsidiaries in which undistributed earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely, no deferred tax is recognized. Undistributed earnings of foreign consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates totaled approximately US$24,150 on March 31, 2014. As described in Note 20, in 2013 we entered in the Brazilian REFIS program to pay the amounts relating to the collection of income taxes on equity gain on foreign subsidiaries and affiliates from 2003 to 2012 and therefore, the repatriation of these earnings would have no Brazilian tax consequences.

 

The income of the Company is subject to the common system of taxation applicable to companies in general. The net deferred balances were as follows:

Fair value measurement compared to book value

 

For the loans allocated to Level 1, the evaluation method used to estimate the fair value of debt is the market approach to the contracts listed on the secondary market. For the loans allocated Level 2, the fair value for both fixed-indexed rate debt and floating rate is determined from the discounted cash flow using the future values of the LIBOR rate and the curve of Vale’s Bonds (income approach).

 

The fair values and carrying amounts of non-current loans (net of interest) are shown in the table below:

Additional information about derivatives financial instruments

 

Value at Risk computation methodology

 

The Value at Risk of the positions was measured using a delta-Normal parametric approach, which considers that the future distribution of the risk factors - and its correlations - tends to present the same statistic properties verified in the historical data. The value at risk of Vale’s derivatives current positions was estimated considering one business day time horizon and a 95% confidence level.

 

Contracts subjected to margin calls

 

Vale has contracts subject to margin calls only for part of nickel trades executed by its wholly-owned subsidiary Vale Canada Ltd. There was not cash amount subject to margin calls on March 31, 2014.

 

Initial Cost of Contracts

 

The financial derivatives negotiated by Vale and its controlled companies described in this document didn’t have initial costs (initial cash flow) associated.

 

The following tables show as of March 31, 2014, the derivatives positions for Vale and controlled companies with the following information: notional amount, fair value (considering counterparty (credit) risk)(1), value at risk, gains or losses in the period and the fair value for the remaining years of the operations per each group of instruments.

 


(1)  The “Adjusted net/total for credit risk” considers the adjustments for credit (counterparty) risk calculated for the instruments, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard 13 (CPC 46).

Protection program for the Real denominated debt indexed to CDI

 

·                                          CDI vs. USD fixed rate swap — In order to reduce the cash flow volatility, Vale entered into swap transactions to convert the cash flows from debt instruments denominated in Brazilian Reais linked to CDI to U.S. Dollars. In those swaps, Vale pays fixed rates in U.S. Dollars and receives payments linked to CDI.

 

·                                          CDI vs. USD floating rate swap — In order to reduce the cash flow volatility, Vale entered into swap transactions to convert the cash flows from debt instruments denominated in Brazilian Reais linked to CDI to U.S. Dollars. In those swaps, Vale pays floating rates in U.S. Dollars (Libor — London Interbank Offered Rate) and receives payments linked to CDI.

The P&L shown in the table above is offset by the hedged items’ P&L due to CAD/USD exchange rate.

 

Commodity Derivative Positions

 

The Company’s cash flow is also exposed to several market risks associated to global commodities price volatilities. To offset these volatilities, Vale contracted the following derivatives transactions:

 

Nickel Purchase Protection Program

 

In order to reduce the cash flow volatility and eliminate the mismatch between the pricing of the purchased nickel (concentrate, cathode, sinter and others) and the pricing of the final or original product sold to our clients, hedging transactions were implemented. The trades are usually implemented by the sale and/or buy of nickel forward or future contracts at LME or over-the-counter operations.

Nickel Fixed Price Program

 

In order to maintain the exposure to Nickel price fluctuations, we entered into derivatives to convert to floating prices all contracts with clients that required a fixed price. These trades aim to guarantee that the prices of these operations would be the same of the average prices negotiated in LME in the date the product is delivered to the client. It normally involves buying Nickel forwards (Over-the-Counter) or futures (exchange negotiated). Those operations are usually reverted before the maturity in order to match the settlement dates of the commercial contracts in which the prices are fixed.

Copper Scrap Purchase Protection Program

 

This program was implemented in order to reduce the cash flow volatility due to the quotation period mismatch between the pricing period of copper scrap purchase and the pricing period of final products sale to the clients, as the copper scrap combined with other raw materials or inputs to produce copper for the final clients. This program usually is implemented by the sale of forwards or futures at LME or Over-the-Counter operations.

Sell of part of future gold production (subproduct) from Vale

 

The company has definitive contracts with Silver Wheaton Corp. (SLW), a Canadian company with stocks negotiated in Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange, to sell 25% of gold payable flows produced as a sub product from Salobo copper mine during its life and 70% of gold payable flows produced as a sub product from some nickel mines in Sudbury during 20 years. For this transaction the payment was realized part in cash (US$ 1.9 billion) and part as 10 million of SLW warrants with strike price of US$ 65 and 10 years term, where this last part configures an American call option.

Embedded Derivative Positions

 

The Company’s cash flow is also exposed to several market risks associated to contracts that contain embedded derivatives or derivative-like features. From Vale’s perspective, it may include, but is not limited to, commercial contracts, procurement contracts, rental contracts, bonds, insurance policies and loans. The following embedded derivatives were observed in March 31, 2014:

 

Raw material and intermediate products purchase

 

Nickel concentrate and raw materials purchase agreements, in which there are provisions based on nickel and copper future prices behavior. These provisions are considered as embedded derivatives.

27.          Gold stream transaction

 

In February 2013, the Company entered into a gold stream transaction with Silver Wheaton Corp. (“SLW”) to sell 25% of the gold extracted during the life of the mine as a by-product of the Salobo copper mine and 70% of the gold extracted during the next 20 years as a by-product of the Sudbury nickel mines.

 

In March 2013, we received up-front cash proceeds of US$1.9 billion, plus ten million warrants of SLW with exercise price of US$65 exercisable in the next ten years, which fair value is US$100. The amount of US$1,330 was received for the Salobo transaction and US$570 plus the ten million warrants of SLW were received for the Sudbury transaction.

 

In addition, as the gold is delivered to SLW, Vale will receive a payment equal to the lesser of: (i) US$400 per ounce of refined gold delivered, subject to an annual increase of 1% per year commencing on January 1, 2016 and each January 1 thereafter; and (ii) the reference market price on the date of delivery.

 

This transaction was bifurcated into two identifiable components of the transaction being: (i) the sale of the mineral rights for US$337 and, (ii) the services for gold extraction on the portion in which Vale operates as an agent for SLW gold extraction.

 

The result of the sale of the mineral rights, was estimated in the amount of US$244 and was recognized in the income statement under Other operating expenses, net, while the portion related to the provision of future services for gold extraction, was estimated at US$1,393 and is recorded as deferred revenue (liability) and will be recognized in the statement of income as the service is rendered and the gold extracted. During the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized US$22 and US$17 in Statement of Income related to rendered services.

28.       Commitments

 

a)            Nickel project — New Caledonia

 

In regards to the construction and installation of our nickel plant in New Caledonia, we have provided guarantees in respect of our financing arrangements. We believe the likelihood of the guarantee being called upon is remote.

 

In October 2012, we entered into an agreement with Sumic, a stockholder in VNC, whereby Sumic agreed to a dilution in their interest in VNC from 21% to 14.5%. Sumic originally had a put option to sell to us the shares they own in VNC, which under the October 2012 agreement, the trigger on the put option has been changed from a cost threshold to a production threshold. The put option has been deferred to the first quarter of 2015 which is the earliest that it can be exercised.

 

b)            Nickel Plant — Indonesia

 

During 2012, our subsidiary PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (“PTVI”), a public company in Indonesia, submitted its strategic growth plan to the local government as part of the process for the renewing its license for the Contract of Work (“CoW”). During the process, the government identified the following points for renegotiation: (i) size of the CoW area; (ii) term and form of CoW extension; (iii) financial obligations (royalties and taxes); (iv) domestic processing and refining; (v) mandatory divestment; and (vi) priority use of domestic goods and services.  As part of the ongoing CoW renegotiation, PTVI submitted an updated growth strategy to high level government officials in June 2013. The CoW renegotiation progressed throughout 2013 and is on-going. Until the renegotiation process is complete, PTVI is unable to fully determine to what extent the CoW will be affected.  The operations of PTVI and the implementation of the growth strategy are partially dependent on the result of the renegotiation of the CoW.

 

c)             Nickel Plant — Canada

 

On March 28, 2013, Vale Canada, Vale Newfoundland & Labrador Limited (“VNLL”) and the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador (“Province”) entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Voisey’s Bay Development Agreement, which governs all of our development and operations in the Province involving the requirement to complete primary processing in the province. Vale has agreed to make certain payments to the Government in relation to the additional exemption utilized each year. In April 2013, VNLL surpassed the export limit and consequently, as at March 31, 2014 VNLL has accrued US$10 for payments to be paid related to the additional export exemption. In addition, Vale will build up a litigation liability, secured by letters of credit and other security, based on the additional exemption utilized in each year, which may become due and payable in the event that certain commitments in relation to the construction of the underground mine are delayed or not met. In this regard, letters of credit in the amount of US$123 have been issued as at March 31, 2014.

 

In the course of our operations we have provided other letters of credit and guarantees in the amount of US$852 that are associated with items such as environment reclamation, asset retirement obligation commitments, insurance, electricity commitments, post-retirement benefits, community service commitments and import and export duties.

 

d)            Guinea — Iron ore projects

 

Our 51%-owned subsidiary VBG-Vale BSGR Limited (“VBG”) holds in iron ore concession rights in Simandou South (Zogota) and iron ore exploration permits in Simandou North (Blocks 1 & 2) in Guinea. On April 25, 2014 (subsequent event) the government of Guinea, based on the recommendation of the technical committee established pursuant to Guinean legislation, revoked VBG’S mining concessions. The decision is based on the allegations of fraudulent conduct in connection with the acquisition of the licenses by BSGR (Vale’s current partner in VBG) more than one year before Vale made any investment in VBG. The decision does not indicate any involvement by Vale and therefore does not prohibit Vale to participate in any reallocation of the mining titles. As at March 31, 2014, the total book value of the Company’s investment in VBG, which is in its pre-operating phase, was US$1.2 billion.

 

Vale is actively considering its legal rights and options to recover both the investments made in Guinea as well as the initial investment made in the VBG.

 

e)             Participative stockholders’ debentures

 

During the period, there was no issuance of new debentures, or any change in the par value or the indicators affecting debentures issued.

 

On March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the value of the debentures at fair value totaled US$1,860 and US$1,775, respectively. The Company paid on March 2014 the amount of US$52 as semi-annual compensation.

f)      Operating lease - Pelletize Operations

 

Vale has operating lease agreements with its joint ventures Nibrasco, Itabrasco, and Kobrasco, in which Vale leases its pelletizing plants. These renewable operating lease agreements have duration between 3 and 10 years.

 

The total amount of operational leasing expenses on pelletizing operations on March 31, 2014 and 2013 were US$91 and US$14, respectively.

 

g)      Concession and Sub-concession Agreements

 

The contractual basis and deadlines for completion of concessions rail and port terminals are unchanged in the period.

 

h)                Guarantee issued to affiliates

 

The Company provided corporate guarantees, within the limits of its participation, a line of credit acquired by associate Norte Energia S.A. from BNDES, Caixa Econômica Federal and Banco BTG Pactual. On March 31, 2014 the amount guaranteed by Vale was US$395. After the conclusion of the transaction of our Energy Generations Assets (Note 6) our guarantee will be shared with CEMIG GT.

 

29.          Related parties

 

Transactions with related parties are made by the Company in a strictly commutative manner, observing the price and usual market conditions and therefore do not generate any undue benefit to their counterparties or loss to the Company.

 

In the normal course of operations, Vale contracts rights and obligations with related parties (associated companies, jointly controlled entities and Stockholders), derived from operations of sale and purchase of products and services, leasing of assets, sale of raw material, so as rail transport services, through prices agreed between the parties.

 

The balances of these related party transactions and their effect on the financial statements may be identified as follows:
