Adecoagro S.A.
Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Adecoagro S.A.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Adecoagro S.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Changes in Accounting Principles
As discussed in Note 35.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019 and the manner in which it accounts for property, plant and equipment in 2018.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company'sconsolidatedfinancialstatementsbasedonouraudits.WeareapublicaccountingfirmregisteredwiththePublicCompanyAccounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuation of Level 3 Biological Assets
As described in Notes 16, 34 (b) and 35.11 to the consolidated financial statements, the total fair value of the Company's level 3 biological assets related to sown land - crops, sown land - rice and sown land - sugarcane was US$ 115 million at December 31, 2019. Fair value of these biological assets is determined by management using a discounted cash flows model which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including significant unobservable inputs. The discounted cash flow model included significant judgements and assumptions relating to management's cash flow projections including future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest, estimated production cycle, future costs of harvesting and others cost and estimated discount rate.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the Company's level 3 biological assets related to sown land - crops, sown land - rice and sown land - sugarcane is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurement. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgement, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management's cash flow projections and significant assumptions including future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest, estimated production cycle, future costs of harvesting and others cost and estimated discount rate. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of the Company's level 3 biological assets related to sown land - crops, sown land - rice and sown land - sugarcane. These procedures also included, among others, evaluating the significant assumptions and methods used by management in developing the fair value measurement including future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest, estimated production cycle, future costs of harvesting and others cost and estimated discount rate. Evaluatingmanagement's assumptionsinvolvedevaluatingwhethertheseassumptionswerereasonableconsideringtheconsistencywith external information and past records and testing management's sensitivity analysis of certain significant assumptions. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of certain significant assumptions, including estimated yields at the point of harvest and estimated production cycle.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Goodwill Impairment Assessment- Cash Generating Units with Allocated Goodwill in Brazil
As described in Notes 12, 15, 34 (a) and 35.10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's consolidated property, plant and equipment and goodwill balances at December 31, 2019 were US$ 1,493 million and US$ 20 million, respectively, of which US$ 652 million was allocated to the cash generating units with allocated goodwill in Brazil. The Company conducts an impairment test as of September 30 of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset or cash generating unit may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, where an individual asset does not generate cash flows independently, the recoverable amount is estimated for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The recoverable amount of cash generating units with allocated goodwill in Brazil was determined based on value in use calculations. The determination of the value in use calculation required the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to management's cash flow projections, including yield average growth rates, future pricing increases, future cost decrease, discount rates and perpetuity growth rate.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and goodwill associated with the cash generating units with allocated goodwill in Brazil is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management when developing the value in use calculation of these cash generating units. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management's cash flow projections and significant assumptions, including yield average growth rates, future pricing increases, future cost decrease, discount rates and perpetuity growth rate. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and goodwill associated with the cash generating units with allocated goodwill in Brazil, including controls over the valuation of the Company's cash generating units. These procedures also included, among others, testing management's process for developing the estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, including yield average growth rates, future pricing increases, future cost decrease, discount rates and perpetuity growth rate. Evaluating management's assumptions related to yield average growth rates, future pricing increases, future cost decrease, discount rates and perpetuity growth rate involved evaluating whether the assumptionsusedbymanagementwerereasonableconsidering(i) thecurrentandpastperformanceofthecashgeneratingunits,(ii)theconsistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company's discounted cash flow model and certain significant assumptions, including the discount rate.

1. General information
Adecoagro S.A. (the "Company" or "Adecoagro") is the Group's ultimate parent company and is a société anonyme (stock corporation) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Adecoagro is a holding company primarily engaged through its operating subsidiaries in agricultural and agro-industrial activities. The Company and its operating subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Group". These activities are carried out through three major lines of business, namely, Farming; Sugar, Ethanol and Energy and Land Transformation. Farming is further comprised of three reportable segments, which are described in detail in Note 3 to these consolidated financial statements.
Adecoagro is a Public Company listed in the NewYork Stock Exchange as a foreign registered company under the symbol of AGRO.
These consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on March 10, 2020.
2. Financial risk management
Risk management principles and processes
The Group's activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the Group's capital costs by using suitable means of financing and to manage and control the Group's financial risks effectively. The Group uses financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.
The Group's approach to the identification, assessment and mitigation of risk is carried out by a Risk and Commercial Committee, which focuses on timely and appropriate management of risk.
The principal financial risks are related to raw material price, end-product price, exchange rate, interest rate, liquidity and credit. This section provides a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on the Group's strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. These risks do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.
In Argentina, recent economical events forced the government to impose certain restrictions in the exchange markets,
such as:
- Set specific deadlines to enter and settle exports
- Prior authorization of the BCRA for the formation of external assets for companies
- Prior authorization of the BCRA for the payment of debts related to companies abroad
- Deferral of payment of certain public debt instruments.
- Fuel price control
- Exchange rate risk
The Group's cash flows, statement of income and statement of financial position are presented in U.S. Dollars and may be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. Currency risks as defined by IFRS 7 arise on account of monetary assets and liabilities being denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency.
A significant majority of the Group's business activities is conducted in the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries (primarily the Brazilian Reais and the Argentine Peso). However, the Group may transact in currencies other than the respective functional currencies, mainly the U.S. Dollars.As such, these subsidiaries may hold U.S. Dollar denominated monetary balances at each year-end as indicated in the tables below.
The Group's net financial position exposure to the U.S. Dollar is managed on a case-by-case basis, partly by hedging certain expected cash flows with foreign exchange derivative contracts.

TheGroup'sanalysisshownonthetablesbelowiscarriedoutbasedontheexposureofeachfunctionalcurrencysubsidiary against the U.S. Dollar. The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a hypothetical 10% appreciation/depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the respective functional currencies for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have decreased/ increased the Group's Profit before income tax for the year.A10% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the functional currencies would have an equal and opposite effect on the income statement. A portion of this effect would have been recognized as other comprehensive income since a portion of the Company's borrowings was used as cash flow hedge of the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future sales in U.S. Dollars (see Hedge Accounting - Cash Flow Hedge below for details).

The tables above only consider the effect of a hypothetical appreciation / depreciation of the U.S. Dollars on the Group's net financial position.Ahypothetical appreciation / depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the functional currencies of the Group's subsidiaries has historically had a positive / negative effect, respectively, on the fair value of the Group's biological assets and the end prices of the Group's agriculture produce, both of which are generally linked to the U.S. Dollar.

2. Financial risk management (continued)
Principal amounts of long-term borrowings (non-derivative financial instruments) and notional values of foreign currency forward contracts (derivative financial instruments) were designated as hedging instruments. These instruments are exposed to Brazilian Reais/ U.S. Dollar foreign currency risks related to operations in Brazil and Argentine Peso/U.S. Dollar in Argentina, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately 30.2% and 19.5%, respectively, of projected sales qualify as highly probable forecast transactions for hedge accounting purposes and were designated as hedged items.
The Group has prepared formal documentation in order to support the designation above, including an explanation of how the designation of the hedging relationship is aligned with the Group's Risk Management Policy, identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged transactions, the nature of the risk being hedged and an analysis which demonstrates that the hedge is expected to be highly effective. The Group reassesses the prospective and retrospective effectiveness of the hedge on an ongoing basis comparing the foreign currency component of the carrying amount of the hedging instruments and of the highly probable future sales.
Under cash flow hedge accounting, effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on derivative and non-derivative hedging instruments not be immediately recognized in profit or loss, but be reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the periods when the future sales occur, thus allowing for a more appropriate presentation of the results for the period reflecting the strategy in the Group's Risk Management Policy.
The Company expects that the cash flows will occur and affect profit or loss between 2020 and 2024.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, a total amount before income tax of US$ 54,312 gain (US$ 75,822 gain in 2018) was recognized in other comprehensive income and an amount of US$ 15,594 loss (US$ 26,693 loss in 2018) was reclassified from equity to profit or loss within "Financial results, net".
- Raw material price risk
Inflation in the costs of raw materials and goods and services from industry suppliers and manufacturers presents risks to projecteconomics.Asignificantportionof the Group's cost structureincludes thecost of raw materialsprimarilyseeds, fertilizers and agrochemicals, among others. Prices for these raw materials may vary significantly.
- End-productprice risk
Prices for commodity products have historically been cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and changes in capacity within the industry, which affect the profitability of entities engaged in the agribusiness industry. The Group combines different actions to minimize price risk. A percentage of crops are to be sold during and post harvest period. The Group manages minimum and maximum prices for each commodity as well as gross margin per each crop as to decide when and how to sell. End- product price risks are hedged if economically viable and possible by entering into forward contracts with major trading houses or by using derivative financial instruments, consisting mainly of crops and sugar future contracts, but also includes occasionally put and call options.Amovement in end-product futures prices would result in a change in the fair value of the end product hedging contracts. These fair value changes, after taxes, are recorded in the consolidated statement of income.
Contract positions are designed to ensure that the Group would receive a defined minimum price for certain quantities of its production. The counterparties to these instruments generally are major financial institutions. In entering into these contracts, the Group has assumed the risk that might arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Group does not expect any material losses as a result of counterparty defaults. The Group is also obliged to pay margin deposits and premiums for these instruments. These estimates represent only the sensitivity of the financial instruments to market risk and not the Group exposure to end product price risks as a whole, since the crops and cattle products sales are not financial instruments within the scope of IFRS 7 disclosure requirements.

2. Financial risk management (continued)
- Liquidity risk
The Group is exposed to liquidity risks, including risks associated with refinancing borrowings as they mature, and that borrowing facilities are not available to meet cash requirements. Failure to manage liquidity risks could have a material impact on the Group's cash flow and statement of financial position.
Prudent liquidity risk management includes managing the profile of debt maturities and funding sources close oversight of cash flows projections, maintaining sufficient cash, and ensuring the availability of funding from an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Group's ability to fund its existing and prospective debt requirements is managed by maintaining diversified funding sources with adequate available funding lines from high quality lenders; and reaching to have long-term financial facilities. During 2017 the Company issued a 10 years Note, which improved the maturity of the borrowings (see Note 26).
As of December 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents of the Group totaled U$S 290.3 million, which could be used for managing liquidity risk.
The tables below analyzes the Group's non-derivative financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the statement of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and as a result they do not reconcile to the amounts disclosed on the statement of financial position except for short-term payables where discounting is not applied.

• Interest rate risk
The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings at floating rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The interest rate profile of the Group's borrowings is set out in Note 27.
The Group occasionally manages its cash flow interest rate risk exposure by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates.
The following tables show a breakdown of the Group's fixed-rate and floating-rate borrowings per currency denomination and functional currency of the subsidiary issuing the loans (excluding finance leases). These analyses are performed after giving effect to interest rate swaps.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, if interest rates on floating-rate borrowings had been 1% higher with all other variables held constant, the Group's Profit before income tax for the years would have decreased as shown below. A 1% decrease in interest rates would have an equal and opposite effect on the income statement.

The sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the date of the statement of financial position and had been applied to the exposure to interest rate risk for financial instruments in existence at that date. The 100 basis point increase or decrease represents management's assessment of a reasonable possible change in those interest rates, which have the most impact on the Group, specifically the United States and Brazilian rates over the period until the next annual statement of financial position date.
- Credit risk
The Group's exposures to credit risk arise in certain agreements in relation to amounts owed for physical product sales, the use of derivative instruments, and the investment of surplus cash balances. The Group is also exposed to political and economic risk events, which may cause non-payment of foreign currency obligations to the Group.
The Group's policy is to manage credit exposure to trading counterparties within defined trading limits.All of the Group's significant counterparties are assigned internal credit limits.
The Group sells to a large base of customers. Type and class of customers may differ depending on the Group's business segments. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, more than 96% and 87%, respectively, of the Group's sales of crops were sold to 42 and 49 well-known customers (both multinational and local) with good credit history with the Group. In the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy segment, sales of ethanol were concentrated in 52 and 54 customers, which represented 100% of total sales of ethanol for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Approximately 86% and 99% of the Group's sales of sugar were concentrated in 66 and 19 well-known traders for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The remaining 14% and 1%, which mainly relates to "crystal sugar", were dispersed among several customers. In 2019 and 2018, energysalesare94%and97%concentratedin55majorcustomers.Inthedairysegment,70%and92%ofthesaleswereconcentrated in 36 and 21 well-known customers in 2019 and 2018, respectively.
No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods and management does not expect any losses from non- performance by these counterparties. If any of the Group's customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, the Group assesses the credit quality of the customer taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors (see Note 18 for details). The Group may seek cash collateral, letter of credit or parent company guarantees, as considered appropriate. Sales to customers are primarily made by credit with customary payment terms. The maximum exposure to credit riskisrepresentedbythecarryingamountofeachfinancialassetinthestatementoffinancialpositionafterdeductinganyimpairment allowance. The Group's exposure of credit risk arising from trade receivables is set out in Note 19.
The Group is exposed to counterparty credit risk on cash and cash equivalent balances. The Group holds cash on deposit with a number of financial institutions. The Group manages its credit risk exposure by limiting individual deposits to clearly defined limits. The Group only deposits with high quality banks and financial institutions. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the total amount of cash and cash equivalents mainly comprise cash in banks and short-term bank deposits. The Group is authorized to transact with banks rated "BBB+" or higher. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 8 and 5 banks (primarily JP Morgan, HSBC, Banco Safra, Banco do Brasil, Banco Bradesco, Banco Santander, Credit Agricole and Banco ABC) accounted for more than 85% and 78%, respectively, of the total cash deposited. The remaining amount of cash and cash equivalents relates to cash in hand. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Group invested in fixed-term bank deposits with mainly six bank (HSBC, CreditAgricole, Banco do Brasil, Banco Safra, Banco Bradesco and BancoABC) and also entered into derivative contracts (currency forward). The Group's exposure of credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents is set out in Note 21.

2. Financial risk management (continued)
The Group's primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. The Group generally enters into derivative transactions with high-credit-quality counterpartiesand,bypolicy,limitstheamountofcreditexposuretoanyonecounterpartybasedonananalysisofthatcounterparty's relative credit standing. The amounts subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which counterparty's obligations exceed the obligations with that counterparty.
The Group also entered into crop commodity futures traded in the established trading markets of Argentina and Brazil through well-rated brokers. Management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.
- Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, it may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or buy own shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total debt (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position, if applicable) divided by total capital. Total capital is calculated as equity, as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position, plus total debt. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the strategy was to maintain the gearing ratio within 0.40 to 0.60, as follows:
2019 | 2018 | ||
Total debt | 968,280 | 862,116 | |
Total equity | 1,028.883 | 1,108,145 | |
Total capital | 1,997,163 | 1,970,261 | |
Gearing ratio | 0.48 | 0.44 | |
- Derivative financial instruments
As part of its business operations, the Group uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to the financial risks discussed above. As part of this strategy, the Group may enter into derivatives of (i) interest rate to manage the composition of floating and fixed rate debt; (ii) currency to manage exchange rate risk, and (iii) crop (future contracts and put and call options) to manage its exposure to price volatility stemming from its integrated crop production activities. The Group's policy is not to use derivatives for speculative purposes.
Derivative financial instruments involve, to a varying degree, elements of market and credit risk not recognized in the financial statements. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from price movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities, being hedged. The counterparties to the agreements relating to the Group's contracts generally are large institutions with credit ratings equal to or higher than BBB+. The Group continually monitors the credit rating of such counterparties and seeks to limit its financial exposure to any one financial institution. While the contract or notional amounts of derivative financial instruments provide one measure of the volume of these transactions, they do not represent the amount of the Group's exposure to credit risk. The amounts potentially subject to credit risk (arising from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts) are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties' obligations under the contracts exceed the Group's obligations to the counterparties.

Foreign currency floating-to-fixed interest rate swap
In July 2016 the Group's subsidiary in Brazil, Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema entered into a Reais 90 million loan with Bradesco. The loan bears interest at a variable rate of CDI (an interbanking floating interest rate in US$) plus 2.1% per year. At same moment and with same bank, the Company entered into a swap operation, which intention was to effectively convert the principal amount and interest rate denominated in Reais, to a principal amount an interest rate denominated in US$, plus a fixed rate of 6.55%. The swap expired on September 2017. As of expiration date, the group recognized in 2017 a gain of US$ 3 million included whitin "Financial Results, net."
Currency forward
During the year ended December 31, 2019 the Group entered into several currency forward contracts with Brazilian banks in order to hedge the fluctuation of the Brazilian Reais against the U.S. Dollar for a total aggregate amount of US$ 5.1 million. The currency forward contracts entered in 2019 had maturity dates ranging between February 2020 and October 2020. These contracts resulted in a recognition of a loss of US$ 1,1 million and US$ 2.0 million in 2019 and 2018 respectively.
During the year ended on December 31, 2018, the Group entered into several currency forward contracts in order to hedge the fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar against Euro for a total notional amount of US$ 4.9 million. The currency forward contracts maturity date was January 2019. The outstanding contracts resulted in the recognition of a gain amounting to US$ 0.1 million in 2018.
Gains and losses on currency forward contracts are included within "Financial results, net" in the statement of income.
Euro-bob price swap
As Petrobras (the Brazilian oil state company) started to track the movements of the international gasoline to set its domestic prices in 2017, the Group's subsidiary in Brazil, Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema entered into a swap operation in March 2018, which intention was to mitigate the effects of the gasoline volatility in the ethanol prices sold by the company. The swaps expired according to the due dates and as of December 31, 2018 all the swaps positions were already liquidated.The Group recorded a loss of US$ 1.6 million.

3. Segment information
According to IFRS 8, operating segments are identified based on the 'management approach'. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group's CODM is the Management Committee. IFRS 8 stipulates external segment reporting based on the Group's internal organizational and management structure and on internal financial reporting to the chief operating decision maker.
The Group operates in three major lines of business, namely, Farming; Sugar, Ethanol and Energy; and LandTransformation.
- The Company's 'Farming' is further comprised of five reportable segments:
- The Company's 'Crops'Segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of grains, oilseeds and fibers (including wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and sunflowers, among others), and to a lesser extent the provision of grain warehousing/conditioning and handling and drying services to third parties. Each underlying crop in this segment does not represent a separate operating segment. Management seeks to maximize the use of the land through the cultivation of one or more type of crops. Types and surface amount of crops cultivated may vary from harvest year to harvest year depending on several factors, some of them out of the Group ´s control. Management is focused on the long-term performance of the productive land, and to that extent, the performance is assessed considering the aggregated combination, if any, of crops planted in the land. A single manager is responsible for the management of operating activity of all crops rather than for each individual crop.
- The Company's 'Rice' Segment consists of planting, harvesting, processing and marketing of rice.
- The Company's 'Dairy' Segment consists of the production and sale of raw milk and industrialized products, including UHT, cheese and powder milk among others.
- The Company's 'All Other Segments' consists of the aggregation of the remaining non-reportable operating segments, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure, namely, Coffee and Cattle.
- The Company's 'Sugar, Ethanol and Energy' Segment consists of cultivating sugarcane which is processed in owned sugar mills, transformed into ethanol, sugar and electricity and marketed;
- The Company's 'LandTransformation'Segment comprises the (i) identification and acquisition of underdeveloped and undermanaged farmland businesses; and (ii) realization of value through the strategic disposition of assets (generating profits).
Total segment assets and liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that of the consolidated financial statements. These assets and liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset.
Effective July 1, 2018, the Group applied IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" ("IAS 29") to its operations in Argentina. IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" requires that the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be adjusted for the effects of changes in the general price index and be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period ("inflation accounting"). In order to determine whether an economy is classified as hyperinflationary, IAS 29 sets forth a series of factors to be considered, including whether the amount of cumulative inflation nears or exceeds a threshold of 100 %. Accordingly, Argentina has been classified as a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29 from July 1, 2018. (Please see Note 33 - Basis of preparation and presentations).
According to IAS 29, allArgentine Peso-denominatednon-monetary items in the statement of financial position are adjusted by applying a general price index from the date they were initially recognized to the end of the reporting period. Likewise, all Argentine Peso-denominated items in the statement of income should be expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, consequently, income statement items are adjusted by applying a general price index on a monthly basis from the dates they were initially recognized in the financial statements to the end of the reporting period. This process is called "re- measurement".

3. Segment information (continued)
Once the re-measurement process is completed, all Argentine Peso denominated accounts are translated into U.S. Dollars, the Group's reporting currency, applying the guidelines in IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates"("IAS 21"). IAS 21 requires that amounts be translated at the closing rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position. This process is called "translation".
The re-measurement and translation processes are applied on a monthly basis until year-end. Due to this process, the remeasured and translated results of operations for a given month are subject to change until year-end, affecting comparison and analysis.
Following the adoption of IAS 29 to the Argentine operations of the Group, management revised the information reviewed by the CODM. Accordingly, as from July 1, 2018, (commencement of hyper-inflation accounting in Argentina), the information provided to the CODM departs from the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 re-measurement and translation processes as follows. The segment results of the Argentinean operations for each reporting period were adjusted for inflation and translated into the Group's reporting currency using the reporting period average exchange rate. The translated amounts were not subsequently re-measured and translated in accordance with the IAS 29 and IAS 21 procedures outlined above. From January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Group's segment results were still based on the IFRS measurement principles adopted until June 30, 2018.
In order to evaluate the economic performance of businesses on a monthly basis, results of operations inArgentina are based on monthly data that has been adjusted for inflation and converted into the average exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar each month. These already converted figures are subsequently not readjusted and reconverted as described above under IAS 29 and IAS 21. It should be noted that this translation methodology for evaluating segment information is the same that the company uses to translate results of operation from its other subsidiaries from other countries that have not been designated hyperinflationary economies because it allows for a more accurate analysis of the economic performance of its business as a whole.
The Group's CODM believes that the exclusion of the re-measurement and translation processes from the segment reporting structure allows for a more useful presentation and facilitates period-to-period comparison and performance analysis.
The following tables show a reconciliation of each reportable segment as per the information reviewed by the CODM and the reportable segment measured in accordance with IAS 29 and IAS 21 as per the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

10. Taxation (continued)
Tax loss carry forwards in Argentina and Uruguay generally expire within 5 years. Tax loss carry forwards in Brazil and Luxembourg do not expire. However, in Brazil, the taxable profit for each year can only be reduced by tax loss carry forward up to a maximum of 30%.
In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, the Group will need to generate future taxable income in the countries where the tax loss carry forward were incurred. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that as at December 31, 2019, it is probable that the Group will realize some portion of the deferred tax assets in Brazil and Argentina.
As of December 31, 2019, the Group's tax loss carry forwards and their corresponding jurisdictions are as follows:
Tax loss | ||||
Jurisdiction | carry | Expiration period | ||
forward | ||||
Argentina (1) | 136,205 | 5 years | ||
Brazil | 169,209 | No expiration date. | ||
Uruguay | 4,371 | 5 years | ||
Luxembourg | 29,834 | No expiration date. |
(1) As of December 31, 2019, the aging of the determination tax loss carry forward in Argentina is as follows:
Year of generation | Amount | |
2015 | 11,359 | |
2016 | 3,138 | |
2017 | 12,627 | |
2018 | 30,383 | |
2019 | 78,698 | |
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The Group did not recognize deferred income tax assets of US$ 4.9 million as of December 31, 2018, in respect of losses amounting to US$ 19.5 million that can be carried forward against future taxable income.
The tax on the Group's profit before income tax differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated entities as follows:
2019 | 2018 | 2017 | |||
Tax calculated at the tax rates applicable to profits in the respective countries | (7,250) | 2,956 | (3,013) | ||

11. Earnings per share
(a) Basic
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period excluding ordinary shares held as treasury shares (Note 24).
2019 | 2018 | 2017 | |||
(Loss) / Profit from operations attributable to equity holders of the Group | (772) | (24,622) | 13,198 | ||
Weighted average number of shares in issue (thousands) | 117,252 | 116,637 | 120,599 | ||
Basic (loss) / earnings per share from operations | (0.007) | (0.211) | 0.109 | ||
(b) Diluted
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The Group has two categories of dilutive potential shares: equity-settled share options and restricted units. For these instruments, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value, based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the equity-settled share options. As of December 31, 2019, there were 737 thousands (2018: 851 thousands; 2017: 1,658 thousands) share options/ restricted units outstanding that could potentially have a dilutive impact in the future but were antidilutive for the periods presented.

- Brazilian federal tax law allows entities to take a percentage of the total cost of the assets purchased as a tax credit. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, ICMS (Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Prestação de Serviços) tax credits were reclassified to trade and other receivables.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocated their cost over the estimated usefull lives. Farmlands are not depreciated.
Farmland improvements | 5-25 years |
Buildings and facilities | 20 years |
Furniture and fittings | 10 years |
Computer equipment | 3-5 years |
Machinery and equipment | 4-10 years |
Vehicles | 4-5 years |
Bearer plants | 6 years - based on productivity |
The assets'residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position
date.
Farmlands are measured at Fair Value. For all farmlands with a total valuation of US$ 710 million as of December 31, 2019,thevaluationwasdeterminedusingsalesComparisonApproachpreparedbyanindependentexpert.Salepricesofcomparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare (Level 3). The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% reduction on the Sales price for the period ended December 31, 2019 would have reduced the value of the farmlands on US$ 71 million, which would impact, net of its tax effect on the "Revaluation surplus" item in the statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. If farmlands were stated on the historical cost basis, the amount as of December 31, 2019 would be US$ 235 million.

14. Investment property (continued)
- Relates to new contracts with third parties.
The accounting policy for all Investment properties are measured at Fair Value. For all Investment properties with a total valuation of US$ 34.2 million and US$ 40.7 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively, the valuation was determined usingSalesComparisonApproachpreparedbyanindependentexpert.Salepricesofcomparablepropertiesareadjustedconsidering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare (Level 3). The increase /decrease in the Fair value is recognized in the Statement of income under the line item "Other operating income, net". The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% reduction on the Sales price for the period ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have reduced the value of the Investment properties on US$ 3.4 million and US$ 4.1 million respectively, which would impact the line item "Net gain from fair value adjustment ".

On February 26, 2013, the Group formed CHS AGRO, a joint venture with CHS Inc. CHS Inc. is a leading farmer-owned energy, grains and foods company based in the United States. The Group holds a 50% interest in CHS AGRO. On October 2014, CHS AGRO finished its sunflower processing plant in the city of Pehuajo, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In January 2019, the Company acquired, the remaining 50% of CHS Agro S.A. a joint venture between the Company and CHS Argentina S.A. After this acquisition, the Company own 100% of CHS Agro S.A. which has since been renamed as Girasoles del Plata S.A. (See Note 22). Thus, the Company is not part of any Joint Venture as of December 31, 2019.

18. Financial instruments by category
The Group classified its financial assets in the following categories:
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. For all years presented, the Group's financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise mainly derivative financial instruments.
(b) Financial assets at amortized cost.
Financial assets at amortized cost, namely loans and receivables, are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables comprise "trade and other receivables" and "cash and cash equivalents" in the statement of financial position.
The following tables show the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities by category of financial instrument and reconciliation to the corresponding line item in the statements of financial position, as appropriate. Since the line items "Trade and other receivables, net" and "Trade and other payables" contain both financial instruments and non-financial assets or liabilities (such as other tax receivables or advance payments for services to be received in the future), the reconciliation is shown in the columns headed "Non-financial assets" and "Non-financial liabilities". There was no reclassification between categories for the adoption of IFRS 9.

- Effective July 1, 2013 the Group formally documented and designated cash flow hedging relationships to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future sales in U.S. Dollars using a portion of its borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars, currency forwards and foreign currency floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps (see Note 2).
From January 1, 2019, the group applied IFRS 16. Liabilities carried at amortized cost also included liabilities under finance leases where the Group is the lessee and which therefore have to be measured in accordance with IAS 17. The categories disclosed are determined by reference to IFRS 9. Finance leases are excluded from the scope of IFRS 7. Therefore, finance leases have been shown separately in 2018.
Because of the short maturities of most trade accounts receivable and payable, other receivables and liabilities, and cash and cash equivalents, their carrying amounts at the closing date do not differ significantly from their respective fair values. The fair value of long-term borrowings is disclosed in Note 27.

Determining fair values
IFRS 13 defines fair value as 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. All financial instruments recognized at fair value are allocated to one of the valuation hierarchy levels of IFRS 13. This valuation hierarchy provides for three levels. The allocation reflects which of the fair values derive from transactions in the market and where valuation is based on models because market transactions are lacking. The level in the fair value hierarchy is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the financial instruments recognized at fair value on the statement of financial position comprise derivative financial instruments.
In the case of Level 1, valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets that the Group can refer to at the date of the statement of financial position. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise crop futures and options traded on the stock market.
Derivatives not traded on the stock market allocated to Level 2 are valued using models based on observable market data. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise interest-rate swaps and foreign-currency interest- rate swaps.
In the case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no observable market data are available. The Group does not have financial instruments allocated to this level for any of the years presented.
The following tables present the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and their allocation to the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Total | ||||
Assets | ||||||

The fair values of current trade and other receivables approximate their respective carrying amounts due to their short- term nature. The fair values of non-current trade and other receivables approximate their carrying amount, as the impact of discounting is not significant.

19. Trade and other receivables, net (continued)
Since January 1, 2018, for trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.
Until December 31, 2017 the Group recognized an allowance for trade receivables when there was objective evidence that the Group would not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Delinquencyinpaymentswasanindicatorthatareceivablemaybeimpaired.However,managementconsidersallavailable evidence in determining when a receivable is impaired. Generally, trade receivables, which are more than 180 days past due are fully provided for. However, certain receivables 180+ days overdue are not provided for based on a case-by-case analysis of credit quality analysis. Furthermore, receivables, which are not 180+ days overdue, may be provided for if specific analysis indicates a potential impairment.
Movements on the Group's allowance for trade receivables are as follows:
2019 | 2018 | 2017 | |||
At January 1 | 2,503 | 1,002 | 643 | ||
Charge of the year | 3,656 | 2,468 | 758 | ||

Exchange differences | (1,070) | (449) | (73) | ||
At December 31 | 3,773 | 2,503 | 1,002 | ||
The creation and release of allowance for trade receivables have been included in "Selling expenses" in the statement of income.Amounts charged to the allowance account are generally written off, when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivable mentioned
above.
As of December 31, 2019, approximately 26% (2018: 89%) of the outstanding unimpaired trade receivables (neither past due not impaired) relate to sales to 24 well-known multinational companies with good credit quality standing, including but not limited to Raizen Combustiveis S.A., Camara de Comercializacao de Energia Electrica CCEE, Establecimientos Las Marias SACIFA, Cofco Resources S.A., Granar S.A., Rodoil Distribuidora de Combustiveis LTDA, among others. Most of these entities or their parent companies are externally credit-rated. The Group reviews these external ratings from credit agencies.
The remaining percentage as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 of the outstanding unimpaired trade receivables (neither past due nor impaired) relate to sales to a dispersed large quantity of customers for which external credit ratings may not be available. However, the total base of customers without an external credit rating is relatively stable.
New customers with less than six months of history with the Group are closely monitored. The Group has not experienced credit problems with these new customers to date. The majority of the customers for which an external credit rating is not available are existing customers with more than six months of history with the Group and with no defaults in the past. A minor percentage of customers may have experienced some non-significant defaults in the past but fully recovered.

Restricted shares or units under these Plan vest over a 3-year period from the date of grant at 33% on each anniversary of the grant date. Participants are entitled to receive one common share of the Company for each restricted share or restricted unit granted. There are no performance requirements for the delivery of common shares, except that a participant's employment with the Group must not have been terminated prior to the relevant vesting date. If the participant ceases to be an employee for any reason, any unvested restricted share or unit shall not be converted into common shares. The maximum number of ordinary shares with respect to which awards may be made under the Plan is 3,982,658, of which 3,896,809 have already been granted and 976,234 will be vested on future periods. The maximum numbers of ordinary shares are revised annually.
At December 31, 2019, the Group recognized compensation expense US$ 4.8 million related to the restricted stock units granted under the Restricted Share Plan (2018: US$ 4.9 million and 2017: US$ 5.6 million).
The restricted shares under the Restricted Share Plan were measured at fair value at the date of grant.

The Group is subject to several laws, regulations and business practices of the countries where it operates. In the ordinary course of business, the Group is subject to certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving tax, labor and social security, administrative and civil and other matters. The Group accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and it can reasonably estimate them. The Group bases its accruals on up-to-date developments, estimates of the outcomes of the matters and legal counsel experience in contesting, litigating and settling matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined or more information is available, the Group may be required to change its estimates of future costs, which could have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

2019 | 2018 | ||
No later than 1 year | - | 9,082 | |

Agriculture "partnerships" (parceria by its exact term in Portuguese):
The Group enters into contracts with landowners to cultivate sugarcane on their land. These contracts have an average term of 6 years.
Under these contracts, the Group makes payments based on the market value of sugarcane per hectare (in tons) used by the Group in each harvest, with the market value based on the price of sugarcane published by CONSECANA and a fixed amount of total recoverable sugar per ton. Lease expense was US$ (9,154.0) million for the year ended December 31, 2019 (2018: US$
41.10 million; 2017: US$ 38.5 million). Lease expense is included in "Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce" in the statement of income.
Finance leases:
Most of the leased assets carried in the consolidated statement of financial position as part of a finance lease relate to long-term rental and lease agreements for vehicles, machinery and equipment. Obligations under finance leasing totals US$ 522 and US$ 595 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Group as lessor

Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Group's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable. The Group's critical accounting policies are discussed below.
Actualresultscoulddifferfromestimatesusedinemployingthecriticalaccountingpoliciesandthesecouldhaveamaterial impact on the Group's results of operations. The Group also has other policies that are considered key accounting policies, such as the policy for revenue recognition. However, these other policies, which are discussed in the notes to the Group's financial statements, do not meet the definition of critical accounting estimates, because they do not generally require estimates to be made or judgments that are difficult or subjective.
(a)Impairment of non-financial assets
At the date of each statement of financial position, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets could have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any,oftheimpairmentloss.Wheretheassetdoesnotgeneratecashflowsthatareindependently,theGroupestimatestherecoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The Group's property, plant and equipment items generally do not generate independent cash flows.
In the case of Goodwill, any goodwill acquired is allocated to the cash-generating unit ('CGU') expected to benefit from the business combination. CGU to which goodwill is allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the CGU may be impaired. The carrying amount of the CGU is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment review requires management to undertake certain significant judgments, including estimating the recoverable value of the CGU to which goodwill is allocated, based on either fair value less costs-to-sell or the value-in-use, as appropriate, in order to reach a conclusion on whether it deems the goodwill is impaired or not.
For purposes of the impairment testing, each CGU represents the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.
Farmlands may be used for different activities that may generate independent cash flows. Those farmlands that are used for more than one segment activity (i.e. crops and cattle or rental income), the farmland is further subdivided into two or more CGUs, as appropriate, for purposes of impairment testing. For its properties in Brazil, management identified a farmland together with its related mill as separate CGUs. Most of the farmlands in Argentina and Uruguay are treated as single CGUs.
Based on these criteria, management identified a total amount of 40 CGUs as of September 30, 2019 and 37 CGUs as of September 30, 2018.
As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, due to the fact that there were no impairment indicators, the Group only tested those CGUs with allocated goodwill in Argentina and Brazil.
CGUs tested based on a fair-value-less-costs-to-sell model at September 30, 2019 and 2018:
As of September 30, 2019, the Group identified 12 CGUs in Argentina (2018: 11 CGUs) to be tested based on this model (all CGUs with allocated goodwill). Estimating the fair value less costs-to-sell is based on the best information available, and refers to the amount at which the CGU could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties. Management may be assisted by the work of external advisors. When using this model, the Group applies the "sales comparison approach" as its method of valuing most properties, which relies on results of sales of similar agricultural properties to estimate the value of the CGU. This approach is based on the theory that the fair value of a property is directly related to the selling prices of similar properties.

34. Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
Fair values are determined by extensive analysis which includes current and potential soil productivity of the land (the ability to produce crops and maintain livestock) projected margins derived from soil use, rental value obtained for soil use, if applicable, and other factors such as climate and location. Farmland ratings are established by considering such factors as soil texture and quality, yields, topography, drainage and rain levels. Farmland may contain farm outbuildings. A farm outbuilding is any improvement or structure that is used for farming operations. Outbuildings are valued based on their size, age and design.
Based on the factors described above, each farm property is assigned different soil classifications for the purposes of establishing a value, Soil classifications quantify the factors that contribute to the agricultural capability of the soil. Soil classifications range from the most productive to the least productive.
The first step to establishing an assessment for a farm property is a sales investigation that identifies the valid farm sales in the area where the farm is located. A price per hectare is assigned for each soil class within each farm property. This price per hectare is determined based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis mainly described above.
The results are then tested against actual sales, if any, and current market conditions to ensure the values produced are accurate, consistent and fair.
The following table shows only the 12 CGUs (2018: 11 CGUs) where goodwill was allocated at each period end and the corresponding amount of goodwill allocated to each one:
CGU / Operating segment / Country | September 30, 2019 | September 30, 2018 | ||

CGUs tested based on a value-in-use model at September 30, 2019 and 2018:
As of September 30, 2019, the Group identified 2 CGUs (2018: 2 CGUs) in Brazil to be tested based on this model (all CGUs with allocated goodwill). The determination of the value-in-use calculation required the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to management's cash flow projections. In performing the value-in-use calculation, the Group applied pre- tax rates to discount the future pre-tax cash flows. In each case, these key assumptions have been made by management reflecting past experience and are consistent with relevant external sources of information, such as appropriate market data. In calculating value-in-use, management may be assisted by the work of external advisors.
The key assumptions used by management in the value-in-use calculations which are considered to be most sensitive to the calculation are:
Key Assumptions | September 30, 2019 | September 30, 2018 | ||
Financial projections | Covers 4 years for UMA (*) | Covers 4 years for UMA | ||
Covers 7 years for AVI (**) | Covers 7 years for AVI | |||
Yield average growth rates | 0-1% | 0-1% | ||
Future pricing increases | 0,11% per annum | 0,11% per annum | ||
Future cost decrease | 0,78% per annum | 3,11% per annum | ||
Discount rates | 7% | 8% | ||
Perpetuity growth rate | 1% | 2% | ||
(*) UMA stands for Usina Monte Alegre LTDA.
(**) AVI stands for Adecoagro VAle Do Ivinhema S.A.
Discount rates are based on the risk-free rate for U. S. government bonds, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the increased risk of investing in South America and Brazil in particular. The risk premium adjustment is assessed for factors specific to the respective CGUs and reflects the countries that the CGUs operate in.
The following table shows only the 2 CGUs where goodwill was allocated at each period end and the corresponding amount of goodwill allocated to each one:
CGU/ Operating segment | September 30, 2019 | September 30, 2018 | ||
AVI / Sugar, Ethanol and Energy | 3,813 | 3,966 | ||
UMA / Sugar, Ethanol and Energy | 1,430 | 2,107 | ||
Closing net book value of goodwill allocated to CGUs tested | 5,243 | 6,073 | ||
(Note 15) | ||||
Closing net book value of PPE items allocated to CGUs tested | 614,702 | 618,818 | ||
Total assets allocated to 2 CGUs tested | 619,945 | 624,891 | ||
Based on the testing above, the Group determined that none of the CGUs, with allocated goodwill, were impaired at September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Management views these assumptions are conservative and does not believe that any reasonable change in the assumptions would cause the carrying value of these CGU's to exceed the recoverable amount.
The Company's goodwill and property, plant and equipment balances allocated to the cash generating units with allocated goodwill in Argentina and Brazil were U$S 176 million and U$S 652 million, respectively at December 31, 2019.
As of December 31, 2019, the Group determined that there is no indicators of impairment.

(b) Biological assets
The nature of the Group's biological assets and the basis of determination of their fair value are explained under Note
35.11. The discounted cash flow model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including observable and unobservable data. Generally the estimation of the fair value of biological assets is based on models or inputs that are not observable in the market and the use of unobservable inputs is significant to the overall valuation of the assets. Unobservable inputs are determined based on the best information available, for example by reference to historical information of past practices and results, statistical and agronomical information, and other analytical techniques. The discounted cash flow model includes significant assumptions relating to the cash flow projections including future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest, estimated production cycle, future costs of harvesting and other costs, and estimated discount rate.
Market prices are generally determined by reference to observable data in the principal market for the agricultural produce. Harvesting costs and other costs are estimated based on historical and statistical data. Yields are estimated based on several factors including the location of the farmland and soil type, environmental conditions, infrastructure and other restrictions and growth at the time of measurement. Yields are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and may be affected by several factors out of the Group's control including but not limited to extreme or unusual weather conditions, plagues and other crop diseases, among other factors.
The signficant assumptions discussed above are highly sensitive. Reasonable shifts in assumptions including but not limited to increases or decreases in prices, costs and discount factors used would result in a significant increase or decrease to the fair value of biological assets. In addition, cash flows are projected over a number of years and based on estimated production. Estimates of production in themselves are dependent on various assumptions, in addition to those described above, including but not limited to several factors such as location, environmental conditions and other restrictions. Changes in these estimates could materially impact on estimated production, and could therefore affect estimates of future cash flows used in the assessment of fair value (see Note 16).
(c) Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment (see Note 10).
(d) Fair value for farmlands and investment property
Property, plant and equipment
Farmlandsarerecognizedatfairvaluebasedonperiodic,butatleastannual,valuationspreparedbyanexternalindependent expert. A revaluation reserve is credited in shareholders' equity. The valuation is determined using sales Comparison Approach.

35. Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Financial reporting in a hyperinflation economy
IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" requires that the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to be adjusted for the effects of changes in a suitable general price index and to be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period.Accordingly, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be computed in the non-monetary items.
In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as hyperinflationary under the terms of IAS 29, the Standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of a cumulative inflation rate in three years that approximates or exceeds 100 %.
Considering a significant increase in inflation during 2018, which exceeded the 100% three-year cumulative inflation rate, and that the rest of the indicators do not contradict the conclusion that Argentina should be considered a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes. It is agreed that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Argentina is a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29 and that as from July 1, 2018, it will apply IAS 29 as from that date in the financial reporting of its subsidiaries and associates with Argentine peso as functional currency.
Financial statements of a foreign entity with a functional currency of a country that has a highly inflationary economy, are restated to reflect changes in the general price level or index in that country before translation into U.S. Dollars. In adjusting for hyperinflation, a general price index is applied to all non-monetary items in the financial statements (including equity) and the resulting gain or loss, which is the gain or loss on the entity's net monetary position, is recognized in the income statement. Monetary items in the closing statement of financial position are not adjusted. The Group treated all Argentine subsidiaries as a hyperinflationary economy as all of them have argentine peso as functional currency. The results and financial position of all foreign entities with a functional currency of a country that has a highly inflationary economy are translated at closing rates after the restatement for changes in the general purchasing power argentine peso.
The inflation adjustment on the initial balances was calculated by means of conversion factor derived from the Argentine price indexes published by the National Institute of Statistics and the year-over-year change in the index was 1.538.
The main procedures for the above-mentioned adjustment are as follows:
- Monetary assets and liabilities which are carried at amounts current at the balance sheet date are not restated because they are already expressed in terms of the monetary unit current at the balance sheet date.
- Non-monetaryassets and liabilities which are not carried at amounts current at the balance sheet date, and components of shareholders' equity are adjusted by applying the relevant conversion factors.
- All items in the income statement are restated by applying the relevant conversion factors. The company has elected not to segregate the impact of inflation over financial results.
- The effect of inflation on the Company's net monetary position is included in the income statement, in "Other financial results" (Note 9).
- The ongoing application of the re-translation of comparative amounts to closing exchanges rates under IAS 21 and the hyperinflation adjustments required by IAS 29 will lead to a difference in addition to the difference arising on the adoption of hyperinflation accounting.

35.1 Basis of preparation and presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). All IFRS issued by the IASB, effective at the time of preparing these consolidated financial statements have been applied.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by financial assetsandfinancialliabilities(includingderivativeinstruments)atfairvaluethroughprofitorloss,biologicalassetsandagricultural produce at the point of harvest and farmlands measured at fair value.

The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 34.
Description of accounting policies changed during the fiscal-year.
Leases
For fiscal years beginning on January 1st, 2019 and onward the adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases it is mandatory. We disclose herein the new accounting policies that have been applied from January 1, 2019, where they are different to those applied in prior periods.
IFRS 16 was adopted following the simplified approach, without restating comparative. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new lease accounting rules are directly recognized in the opening balance sheet on January 1, 2019.
The Company has adopted IFRS 16 Leases from January 1, 2019, but has not restated comparatives for previous reporting period as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the Standard.
Onadoptionof IFRS16,theCompanyrecognizedleaseliabilitiesinrelationtoleaseswhichhadpreviouslybeenclassified as 'operating leases' under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. In the previous year, the Company only recognize lease liabilities in relation to leases that were classified as "Finance leases" under IAS 17 Leases. For the initial recognition, these liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019.
The adoption of IFRS 16 Leases from January 1, 2019, resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

Add: adjustments as a result of a different treatment | 199,929 | |
Add: adjustments relating to changes in the index or rate affecting variable payments | 4,213 | |
Initial recognition of lease liability | 204,937 |
According with the adoption of IFRS 16, the new accounting policy for leases is as follows:
Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability at the date of which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
In determining the lease term, the Company considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
Short term leases are recognized on a straight line basis as an expense in the income statement.
Accounting as lessee
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of each lease contract that grants the right to control the use of an identified asset during a period of time. The commencement date is the date in which the lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by the lessee.
The Company applied exemptions for leases with a duration lower than 12 months, with a value lower than thirty thousand dollars and/or with clauses related to variable payments. These leases have been considered as short-term leases and, accordingly, no right-of-use asset or lease liability have been recognized.
The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position at the date of initial application was 7.06%.
At initial recognition, the right-of-use asset is measured considering:
- The value of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
- Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives; and
- Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
After initial recognition, the right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and/or impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of the lease liability.
Depreciation of the right-of-use asset is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated duration of the lease
contract.

35.1 Basis of preparation and presentation (continued)
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at such date, including the following concepts:
- Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date;
- Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
- The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
- Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease;
- Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
- Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date;
- Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
- The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
- Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
After the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability by:
- Increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability;
- Reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made; and
- Re-measuringthe carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.
The above mentioned inputs for the valuation of the right of use assets and lease liabilities including the determination of the contracts within the scope of the standard, the contract term ant interest rate used in the discounted cash flow involved a high degree of management´s estimations.
Early adoption of IFRS 3 Amendment
TheIASBhasissuednarrow-scopeamendmentstoIFRS3,'Businesscombinations',toimprovethedefinitionofabusiness.
The amended definition emphasizes that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others.
Entities are required to apply the amendments to transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The Company applied this amendment form the period beginning on 1 January 2019.
Description of accounting policies changed during the previous year.
During the period ended September 30, 2018, the group has adopted the revaluation model for its Farmlands within Property, plant and equipment. Previously, the Company valued all these group of assets under the cost model. These amendments have resulted in an increase of Property, plant and equipment of US$ 545 million. This higher valuation resulted in an increase of the deferred tax liability of US$ 139 million. This change in accordance with IAS 16 is applied prospectively.
Also the Company also adopted the revaluation model for its Investment property. The higher valuation resulted in an increase in Retained earning of US$ 45 million; an increase in Investment property of US$ 40 million as of December 31, 2017and an increase in Deferred tax liability of US$ 12 million.

35.2 Scope of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and all of its subsidiaries from the date that control commences to the date that control ceases. They also include the Group's share of the net income of its jointly-controlled entities on an equity-accounted basis from the point at which joint control commences, to the date that it ceases.
(a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control commences and deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement.Acquisition-relatedcostsareexpensedasincurred.Identifiableassetsacquiredandliabilitiesandcontingentliabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition- date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealizedlossesarealsoeliminated.Accountingpoliciesofsubsidiarieshavebeenchangedwherenecessarytoensureconsistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions - that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between the fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
(c) Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity is accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
(d) Joint arrangements
Under IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement.
The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures and value them under the equity method.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
35.2 Scope of consolidation (continued)
Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group's share of the post-acquisition of profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income, respectively. When the share of losses of an investee equals or exceeds the carrying amount of an investment the Group discontinue applying the equity method, the investment is reduced to zero and does not record additional losses. If the investee subsequently reports net income, the Group would resume applying the equity method only after its share of that net income equals the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the joint ventures. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
35.3 Segment reporting
According to IFRS 8, operating segments are identified based on the 'management approach'. This approach stipulates external segment reporting based on the Group's internal organizational and management structure and on internal financial reporting to the chief operating decision maker (the Management Committee in the case of the Company)
35.4 Foreign currency translation
- Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars, which is the Group's presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of income, in the line Item "Finance income" or "Finance cost", as appropriate.
(c) Group companies
The results and financial position of Group entities (except those that has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy
- Argentine subsidiaries) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
- assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
- income and expenses for each statement of income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
- all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity.
When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the statement of income as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

35.5 Property, plant and equipment
Farmlands are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently under the revaluation model based on periodic, but at least annual, valuations prepared by an external independent expert. A revaluation reserve is credited in shareholders'equity. All other property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Historical cost comprises the purchase price and any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Under the definition of Property plant and equipment is included the bearer plants, such as sugarcane and coffee trees.
Where individual components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items, which are depreciated separately.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of income when they are incurred.
The depreciation methods and periods used by the group are disclosed in Note 12.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within "Other operating income, net" in the consolidated statement of income.
35.6 Investment property
Investment property consists of farmland for rental or for capital appreciation and not used in production or for sale in the ordinary course of business, and it is measured at fair value net of any impairment losses if any. The changes of the Fair value, which is based on an independent external expert, impacts the profit and loss of the period, in the line item Other operating income, net.
35.7 Leases
As explained in note 35.1 above, the Group has changed its accounting policy for leases where the Group is the lessee. The new policy and the impact of the change is described in Note 35.1. Until December 31, 2018 the Group classified its leases at the inception as finance or operating leases. Leases were classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases were classified as operating leases and charged to the statements of income in a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease's inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, were included as "Borrowings". From 2019 onwards, leases are accounted under the IFRS 16.
35.8 Goodwill
Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from assets that are not capable of being individually identified and separately recognized by the Group on an acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost. being the excess of the consideration over the fair value of the Group's share of net assets of the acquired subsidiary undertaking at the acquisition date. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. It is allocated to those cash generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition for the purpose of impairment testing. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is included within "Intangible assets" on the statement of financial position. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of foreign entities is treated as an asset of the foreign entity denominated in the local currency and translated at the closing rate.

35.8 Goodwill (continued)
Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if there is an indication of impairment (see Note 34 (a)). Gains and losses on the disposal of a Group entity include any goodwill relating to the entity sold (see Note 35.10).
35.9 Other intangible assets
OtherintangibleassetsthatareacquiredbytheGroup,whichhavefiniteusefullives,aremeasuredatcostlessaccumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. These intangible assets comprise trademarks and computer software and are amortized in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives estimated to be 10 to 20 years and 3 to 5 years, respectively.
35.10 Impairment of assets Goodwill
The Company conducts an impairment test annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows, known as cash-generating units. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount , the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash generating unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset may in the unit. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period. Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In determining the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted (see Note 34 (a) for details).
Property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets
At each statement of financial position date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets which have finite lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, that carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of income.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, not to exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years.Areversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of income.
35.11 Biological assets
Biological assets comprise growing crops (mainly corn, wheat, soybeans, sunflower and rice), sugarcane, coffee and livestock (growing herd and cattle for dairy production).
The Group distinguishes between consumable and bearer biological assets, and between mature and immature biological assets. "Consumable" biological assets are those assets that may be harvested as agriculture produce or sold as biological assets, for example livestock intended for dairy production. "Bearer" biological assets are those assets capable of producing more than one harvest, for example sugarcane or livestock from which raw milk is produced. "Mature" biological assets are those that have attained harvestable specifications (for consumable biological assets) or are able to sustain regular harvests (for bearer biological assets). "Immature" biological assets are those assets other than mature biological assets.

35.11 Biological assets (continued)
Costs are capitalized as biological assets if, and only if, (a) it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity, and (b) the cost can be measured reliably. The Group capitalizes costs such as: planting, harvesting, weeding, seedlings, irrigation, agrochemicals, fertilizers and a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are directly attributable to the management of biological assets, among others. Costs that are expensed as incurred include administration and other general overhead and unallocated production overhead, among others.
Biological assets, both at initial recognition and at each subsequent reporting date, are measured at fair value less costs to sell, except where fair value cannot be reliably measured. Cost approximates fair value when little biological transformation has taken place since the costs were originally incurred or the impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material.
Gains and losses that arise on measuring biological assets at fair value less costs to sell and measuring agricultural produce at the point of harvest at fair value less costs to sell are recognized in the statement of income in the period in which they arise in the line item "Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce".
Where there is an active market for a biological asset or agricultural produce, quoted market prices in the most relevant market are used as a basis to determine the fair value. Otherwise, when there is no active market or market-determined prices are not available, fair value of biological assets is determined through the use of valuation techniques.
Therefore, the fair value of biological assets is generally derived from the expected discounted cash flows of the related agricultural produce. The fair value of the agricultural produce at the point of harvest is generally derived from market determined prices. A general description of the determination of fair values based on the Company's business segments follow:
- Growing crops includng rice:
Growing crops including rice, for which biological growth is not significant, are measured at cost, which approximates fair value. Expenditure on growing crops includes land preparation expenses and other direct expenses incurred during the sowing period including labor, seedlings, agrochemicals and fertilizers among others.
Otherwise, biological assets are measured at fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs at initial recognition and at any subsequent period. Point-of-sale costs include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets
Thefairvalueofgrowingcropsincludingrice ismeasuredbasedonaformula,whichtakesintoconsiderationtheestimated crop yields, estimated market prices and costs, and discount rates.Yields are determined based on several factors including location of farmland, environmental conditions and other restrictions and growth at the time of measurement. Yields are multiplied by sown hectares to determine the estimated tons of crops including rice to be obtained. The tons are then multiplied by a net cash flow determined at the future crop prices less the direct costs to be incurred. This amount is discounted at a discount rate, which reflects current market assessments of the assets involved and the time value of money.
- Growing herd and cattle:
Livestockaremeasuredatfairvaluelessestimatedpoint-of-salecosts,withanychangesthereinrecognizedinthestatement of income, on initial recognition as well as subsequently at each reporting period. The fair value of livestock is determined based on the actual selling prices less estimated point-of-sale costs in the markets where the Group operates.
- Sugarcane:
Sugarcane planting costs form part of Property plant and equipment. The agricultural produce growing on sugarcane is classified as biological assets and are measured at fair value less cost to sell. The fair value of agricultural produce growing on sugarcane depends on the variety, location and maturity of the plantation.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
35.11 Biological assets (continued)
Agricultural produce growing in the Sugarcane, for which biological growth is not significant, is valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Expenditure on the agricultural produce growing in the sugarcane consists mainly of labor, agrochemicals and fertilizers among others. When it has attained significant biological growth, it is measured at fair value through a discounted cash flow model. Revenues are based on estimated yearly production volume (which will be destined to sugar, ethanol, energy and raw cane production) and the price is calculated as the average of daily prices for sugar future contracts (Sugar #11 ICE-NY contracts) for a six months period. Projected costs include maintenance and land leasing among others. These estimates are discounted at an appropriate discount rate.
35.12 Inventories
Inventories comprise of raw materials, finished goods (including harvested agricultural produce and manufactured goods) and others.
Harvested agricultural produce (except for rice and milk) are measured at net realizable value until the point of sale because there is an active market in the produce, there is a negligible risk that the produce will not be sold and there is a well- established practice in the industry carrying the inventories at net realizable value. Changes in net realizable value are recognized in the statement of income in the period in which they arise under the line item "Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest".
All other inventories(including rice and milk)are measured at thelower of cost and netrealizablevalue. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.
35.13 Financial assets
Financial assets are classified in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss and at amortized cost, namely loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition (see Note 18).
(a) Recognition and measurement
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date - the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of income. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" category are presented in the statement of income within "Other operating income, net" in the period in which they arise.
If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models, making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.
The Group assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Impairment testing of trade receivables is described in Note 35.15.
(b) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in any case.

35.14 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Commodity future contract fair values are computed with reference to quoted market prices on future exchanges markets. The fair values of commodity options are calculated using year-end market rates together with common option pricing models. The fair value of interest rate swaps has been calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis.
The Group manages exposures to financial and commodity risks using hedging instruments that provide the appropriate economic outcome. The principal hedging instruments used may include commodity future contracts, put and call options, foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
The Group's policy is to apply hedge accounting to hedging relationships where it is both permissible under IFRS 9, practical to do so and its application reduces volatility, but transactions that may be effective hedges in economic terms may not always qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9. Any derivatives that the Group holds to hedge these exposures are classified as "held for trading" and are shown in a separate line on the face of the statement of financial position. The method of recognizing gains or losses on derivatives depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. Gains and losses on commodity derivatives are classified within "Other operating income, net". Gains and losses on interest rate and foreign exchange rate derivatives are classified within 'Financial results, net'. The Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of the foreign currency risk associated with highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedge).
The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the instruments that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of hedged items.
Cash flow hedge
The effectiveportion of the gain or loss on the instruments thatare designated and qualifyas cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of income within "Finance income" or "Finance cost", as appropriate.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion is recognized in the statement of income within "Finance income" or "Finance cost", as appropriate.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the statement of income. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the statement of income.
35.15 Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. In the case of receivables, less allowance for trade receivables.
The group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
35.16 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. In the statements of cash flows, interest paid is presented within financing cash flows and interest received is presented within investing activities.
35.17 Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use.
35.18 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when (i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.
35.19 Onerous contracts
The Group enters into contracts, which require the Group to sell commodities in accordance with the Group's expected sales. These contracts do not qualify as derivatives. These contracts are not recognized until at least one of the parties has performed under the agreement. However, when the contracts are onerous, the Group recognizes the present obligation under the contracts as a provision included within "Provision and other liabilities" in the statement of financial position. Losses under these onerous contracts are recognized within "Other operating income, net" in the statement of income.
35.20 Current and deferred income tax
The Group's tax benefit or expense for each year comprises the charge for current tax payable and deferred taxation attributable to the Group's operating subsidiaries. Tax is recognized in the statement of income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in equity.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the date of the statement of financial position in the countries where the Group's subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) effective in the countries where the Group's subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

33.20 Current and deferred income tax (continued)
The Group is able to control the timing of dividends from its subsidiaries and hence does not expect to remit overseas earnings in the foreseeable future in a way that would result in a charge to taxable profit. Hence deferred tax is recognized in respect of the retained earnings of overseas subsidiaries only to the extent that, at the date of the statement of financial position, dividends have been accrued as receivable or a binding agreement to distribute past earnings in future has been entered into by the subsidiary.
35.21 Revenue Recognition
The Group's primary activities comprise agricultural and agro-industrial activities.
The Group's agricultural activities comprise growing and selling agricultural produce. In accordance with IAS 41 "Agriculture",cattlearemeasuredatfairvaluewithchangesthereinrecognizedinthestatementofincomeastheyarise.Agricultural produce is measured at net realizable value with changes therein recognized in the statement of income as they arise. Therefore, sales of agricultural produce and cattle generally do not generate any separate gains or losses in the statement of income.
The Group's agro-industrial activities comprise the selling of manufactured products (i.e. industrialized rice, milk-related products,ethanol,sugar,energy,amongothers).Thesesalesaremeasuredatthefairvalueoftheconsiderationreceivedorreceivable, net of returns and allowances, trade and other discounts, and sales taxes, as applicable.
Revenue is recognized when the full control have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. Transfers of control vary depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale. Revenues are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, having this full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the products.
The Group also provides certain agricultural-related services such as grain warehousing/conditioning and other services, e.g. handling and drying services. Revenue from services is recognized as services are provided.
The Group leases owned farmland property to third parties under operating lease agreements. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
The Group is a party to a 15-year power agreement for the sale of electricity which expires in 2042. The delivery period starts in April and ends in November of each year. The Group is also a party to two 15-year power agreements which delivery period starts in March and ends in December of each year, these two agreements will expire in 2024 and 2025, respectively. Prices under all the agreements are adjusted annually for inflation. Revenue related to the sale of electricity under these two agreements is recorded based upon output delivered.
35.22 Farmlands sales
The Group's strategy is to profit from land appreciation value generated through the transformation of its productive capabilities. Therefore, the Group may seek to realize value from the sale of farmland assets and businesses.
Farmland sales are not recognized until (i) the sale is completed, (ii) the Group has determined that it is probable the buyer will pay, (iii) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and (iv) the Group has transferred to the buyer the risk of ownership, and does not have a continuing involvement. Gains from "farmland sales" are included in the statement of income under the line item "Other operating income, net".
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

35.23 Assets held for sale and discontinued operations
When the Group intends to dispose of, or classify as held for sale, a business component that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale, it classifies such operations as discontinued. The post tax profit or loss of the discontinued operations is shown as a single amount on the face of the statement of income, separate from the other results of the Group. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to sell.
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a disposal rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when management is committed to the sale (disposal), the sale (disposal) is highly probable and expected to be completed within one year from classification and the asset is availableforimmediatesale(disposal)initspresentcondition.Thestatementsofincomeforthecomparativeperiodsarerepresented to show the discontinued operations separate from the continuing operations.
35.24 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, and when dilutive, adjusted for the effect of all potentially dilutive shares, including share options, on an as-if converted basis.
35.25 Equity-settledshare-based payments
The Group issues equity settled share-based payments to certain directors, senior management and employees. Options under the awards were measured at fair value at the date of grant. An expense is recognized to spread the fair value of each award over the vesting period on a straight-line basis, after allowing for an estimate of the awards that will eventually vest. The estimate of the level of vesting is reviewed at least annually, with any impact on the cumulative charge being recognized immediately.
35.26 Research and development
Research phase expenditure is expensed as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalized as an internally generated intangible asset only if it meets strict criteria, relating in particular to technical feasibility and generation of future economic benefits. Research expenses have been immaterial to date. The Group has not capitalized any development expenses to date.
