    Report on review of parent company and

    consolidated interim financial statements

     

    To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

    Natura &Co Holding S.A.


    Introduction

     

    We have reviewed the accompanying interim statement of financial position of Natura &Co Holding S.A. ("Company") as at 30 September 2023 and the related statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income for the quarter and nine-month period then ended, and the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, as well as the accompanying consolidated interim  statement of financial position of Natura &Co Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries ("Consolidated") as at 30 September 2023 and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income for the quarter and nine-month period then ended, and the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, and explanatory notes.

     

    Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these parent company and consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the accounting standard CPC 21, Interim Financial Reporting, of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim financial statements based on our review.

     

    Scope of review

     

    We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

    Conclusion on the interim information

     

    Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying parent company and consolidated interim financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Natura &Co Holding S.A. and of Natura &Co Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries as at 30 September 2023, and the parent company financial performance for the quarter and nine-month period then ended and its cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, as well as the consolidated financial performance for the quarter and nine-month period then ended and the consolidated cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34.

     

    Other matters


    Statement of value added

     

    The interim financial statements referred to above include the parent company and consolidated statements of value added for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2023. These statements are the responsibility of the Company's management and are presented as supplementary information. These statements have been subjected to review procedures performed together with the review of the interim financial statements for the purpose concluding whether they are reconciled with the interim financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in the accounting standard CPC 09 - "Statement of Value Added". Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these statements of value added have not been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established in this accounting standard, and that they are consistent with the parent company and consolidated interim financial statements taken as a whole.

    Further details about this operation, as well as the results of discontinued operations for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2023 and 2022 are presented in explanatory note no.36.

    2. MANAGEMENT STATEMENT AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE INTERIM ACCOUNTING INFORMATION
    The Company’s interim accounting information, included in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, includes the individual and consolidated interim accounting information prepared pursuant to Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Statements, approved by the Brazilian Accounting Committee (“CPC”) and equivalent to International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.

    (Amounts in thousands of Reais - R$, except as mentioned otherwise)

     

    3. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The material accounting policies applied in the preparation of this individual and consolidated interim accounting information are consistent with those applied and disclosed in note 3 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, issued on March 13, 2023, as well as those applied for the comparative nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, except for the rules and changes effective as of January 1, 2023.

    Among these amendments effective as of January 1, 2023, we highlight the amendments to CPC 23, Accounting Policies, Change in Estimates and Error Correction (IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Change in Estimates and Error Correction) and CPC 26 (R1), Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements), in addition to amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality Judgments, educational document issued by the IASB and not published by the CPC in Brazil), where the concepts of accounting estimates and applying materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting policies. In the preparation of individual and consolidated interim accounting information, these concepts were considered, however, there were no material effects on the nature and detail of the information presented.

    Additionally, in May 2023 IASB published amendments to IAS 12, Income taxes, determining the application of a mandatory exception in the recognition of deferred taxes on taxable profit arising from the application of the requirements of the “Pillar 2” legislation, an initiative by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), through which it seeks to implement a new tax system that will consist of an "extra layer" to the domestic taxation of the countries involved, seeking to ensure the payment of a global minimum effective rate of 15% by taxpayers members of large multinational groups, regardless of their jurisdiction of residence.

    As required by the amendment, the Company applied the exception for recognition and disclosure of information on deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

    The other amendments to the accounting standards, effective as of January 1, 2023, did not have any material impact on the Company's interim individual and consolidated accounting information.

    This individual and consolidated interim accounting information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

    4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

    The areas that require a higher level of judgment and have greater complexity, as well as the areas in which assumptions and estimates are material for the interim accounting information, were presented in note 4 of the Company’s individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

    The estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the interim, individual and consolidated accounting information for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, have not changed significantly compared with the estimates and assumptions as of December 31, 2022.

    5.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

    The information regarding the general considerations and polices was presented in note 5.1 of the Company’s individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and there are no changes for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

    The Company continues to monitor developments in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine to assess any possible future impacts that may arise because of the ongoing crisis, including the reduction in recoverable value of financial and non-financial assets, which the Company's Management assesses based on the best available information. At the date of this interim accounting information, the effects of the conflict on the equity and financial position and performance of operations were not material.

    5.1      Market risks and hedge accounting

    In order to hedge the current balance sheet positions of the Company against market risks, the following financial derivatives (hedging the variability of payments of financing liabilities arising from exchange rate and interest rate risks) and operating derivatives (hedging the exchange rate risk of operating cash flows, such as import and export operations) are used and consist of the balances in the following table, as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022:

    In the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company transferred its sustainability-linked debt (“Notes”, as described in explanatory note 19) from the subsidiary Natura Cosméticos S.A. to the subsidiary Natura &Co Luxembourg Holdings S.á.r.l. (“Natura &Co Luxembourg”), as part of the rebalancing and reorganization process of the Group's debt initiated when the sale of the previously subsidiary Aesop.

    The debt denominated in US dollars was included in a hedge accounting structure, aiming to protect the variability of payments arising from exchange rate and interest rate risks. Considering the transfer made to the subsidiary Natura &Co Luxembourg, whose functional currency is the US dollar, the protected risk was no longer eligible within the hedge accounting structure and, consequently, the Company proceeded with the derecognition of this structure. As a result, the amount of R$4,958,286, previously recognized in the liabilities of the subsidiary Natura Cosméticos S.A., was derecognized and recognized in the subsidiary Natura &Co Luxembourg. Losses recognized in other comprehensive income of R$700,810, before tax effects, were reclassified to the statement of profit and loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, as a financial expense. Additionally, the derivatives liability position of R$1,380,405 was settled with the corresponding financial institutions in September 2023.

    5.2 Fair value estimate

    The Company’s financial assets and liabilities substantially encompass assets and liabilities classified as level 2 in the fair value estimate hierarchy, the assessment of which is based on techniques that use, other than the prices quoted in level 1, other information adopted by the market in a direct (as prices) or indirect (resulting from prices) manner. To measure the fair value, the carrying amount represents an amount that is reasonably near to the fair value, as described below:

    (i) the balances of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivables, accounts payable to suppliers and other current liabilities are equivalent to their carrying amounts, mainly due to the short-term maturities of these instruments;
    (ii) the balances of the short-term investments: a) measured at amortized cost approximate their fair values as a result of the transactions to be conducted at floating interest rates; and b) measured at fair value through profit or loss based on the rates agreed with the financial institutions considering the agreed rates among the parties, including market information that allows for such calculation;
    (iii) except for the real estate receivables certificates, which are measured at fair value due to the designation as fair value hedge accounting, the carrying amounts of borrowing, financing and debentures are measured at their amortized cost and disclosed at fair value, which does not differ materially from the carrying amounts as the agreed interest rates are consistent with current market rates; and
    (iv) the fair value of exchange rate derivatives (swap and forwards) is determined based on the future exchange rates at the dates of the balance sheets, with the resulting amount being discounted at present value.

    The fair value of the investment in the Fundo Dynamo Beauty Ventures Ltda. (“DBV Fund”), classified at level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is calculated based on information on the net value of the investment in the Fund (NAV) calculated by the Fund’s manager based on valuation assumptions consistent with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and IFRS, adjusted to reflect the fair value assumptions applicable to the nature of the Company’s investment. The Company’s valuation considers inputs not observable in the model, to reflect the contractual restrictions on this investment for early redemption of the security in the market. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value estimate reflect a discount due to the lack of liquidity of the security, which represent the values that the Company determined that market agents would consider for these discounts when defining the investment price.

    There was no transfer between measurement levels in the fair value hierarchy during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, for these assets and liabilities. Additionally, there were no material effects in the quarter on the fair value of financial assets and liabilities as a result of the increase in price volatility in markets affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, counterparty risk in financial assets or inactivity of markets considered in the valuation.

    a) Tax credits related to the tax on the circulation of goods, interstate and inter-municipal transport and communication services (ICMS) were generated mainly by purchases, whose tax rate is higher than the average of sales. The Company expects to realize these credits during the ordinary course of business through offsetting with sales operations in the domestic market.
    b) The accumulated tax credits of PIS and COFINS basically arise from credits on purchases of raw materials used in the production and from purchase of property, plant and equipment, as well as credits arising out of the exclusion of ICMS from the calculation basis of the PIS/COFINS. The realization of these credits normally occurs through offsetting with sales operations in the domestic market.
    c) The balance will be used to offset IPI (Taxes over industrialized products) payable in future operations of the Company.

    11.   INCOME TAX AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION

    The effective rate calculated by the company in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 was 37.23%. This percentage is based on pre-tax loss of R$2,096,651 and income tax benefit of R$780,559. The main components that cause the effective rate to deviate from the nominal income tax rate of 34% are mainly permanent tax benefits such as investment subsidies and other incentives, as well as the impact of tax losses carryforward benefit in certain jurisdictions.

    These benefits are offset by the mix of results before taxes by country, tax losses carryforward that could not be benefited, differences in nominal rates of subsidiaries abroad and other permanent tax effects in local jurisdictions that increase the respective tax obligations.

    The effective rate calculated by the Company for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, was negative 5.05%. This percentage is based on pre-tax loss of R$1,728,794 and income tax revenue of R$87,357. The main components that cause the effective rate to distance itself from the nominal income tax rate of 34% are the different yields by country, tax losses from certain jurisdictions that cannot benefit from deferred income tax assets, related permanent effects to withholding income tax arising from transactions between group companies that cannot be benefited or offset by tax losses and credits in certain jurisdictions that can be benefited and permanent net favorable items, including investment subsidies and other incentives.

    Changes in deferred income tax and social contribution asset and liability for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, are as follows:

    The Company considered the effective tax rate projections including the effects of continued and discontinued operations when determining the tax effects applicable to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

    Management monitors the performance of all its entities and evaluates whether deferred income tax assets can be realized from four sources of use: potential tax loss offset, reversal of taxable temporary differences, tax planning opportunities (which can include corporate movements) and projection of future taxable profits. The Company does not have a record of deferred income tax assets that cannot be supported by one or more of these sources of realization.

    NOTES TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND CONSOLIDATED INTERIM ACCOUNTING INFORMATION FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

    (Amounts in thousands of Reais - R$, except as mentioned otherwise)

    During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the slower economic recovery observed in the Company's retail operations resulting, among others, from a retraction in the sector's economic prospects affected significant assumptions used in the goodwill recoverability test for future profitability of the Group of Cash Generating Units (CGUs) associated with the operation of the subsidiary The Body Shop. In response to changes in these assumptions on which the recoverability of goodwill due to future profitability is more sensitive, the Company's management recalculated the recoverable value of the respective group of CGUs. The recoverable amount was determined based on value in use calculations, consistent with the methods used on December 31, 2022, disclosed in note 17 of the financial statements on that date.

    As a result of this assessment, the need to recognize losses due to impairment of goodwill or other assets belonging to the group of CGUs as of September 30, 2023 was not identified. We will continue to monitor potential indications of impairment of goodwill, as well as factors that impact the significant assumptions used in the goodwill recoverability test based on future profitability, given that changes in such assumptions may have a significant effect in relation to the recoverability of goodwill.

    a)

    The movement that occurred in 2023 is mainly due to the revolving credit line obtained by the subsidiary Natura &Co Luxembourg during the second quarter of 2023.

    b)

    The movement in amortizations in 2023 is substantially due to the debt rebalancing process initiated in the third quarter, where the Company carried out and settled (i) an offer to the holders of securities representing Avon's debt to repurchase approximately 90 % of securities issued for R$1,156,743 (comprising R$934,742 of principal, R$193,086 of premium and R$28,915 of accrued interest); and (ii) offer to holders of debt securities of Natura &Co Luxembourg (maturing in 2028 and 2029) to repurchase approximately 55% of the securities issued for R$ 4,142,906 (comprising R$ 4,049,329 of principal, R$5,800 premium and R$87,778 accrued interest).


    Other amortizations in the period also include the payment of working capital debt amounts at Natura &Co Luxembourg of R$ 2,402,790 (of which R$ 1,283,025 refer to the settlement of the open position in the credit line revolving loan and R$1,119,764 of working capital debt (“Club Loan”).

    (Amounts in thousands of Reais - R$, except as mentioned otherwise)
     

    a)       Disputes related to talc (Civil)

    The subsidiary Avon Products, Inc (“Avon”) has been named a defendant in numerous personal injury lawsuits filed in U.S. courts, alleging that certain talc products the company sold in the past were contaminated with asbestos. Many of these actions involve several co-defendants, including manufacturers of cosmetics and manufacturers of other products that, unlike the subsidiary Avon’s Products, were designed to contain asbestos. As of September 30, 2023, there were 317 individual cases pending against the subsidiary Avon (during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, 163 new cases were started and 74 were dismissed, settled or otherwise resolved).

    In December 2022, a case, titled Chapman, et al, v, Avon Products, Inc. et al., No, 22STCV05968, resulted in an adverse jury verdict after a trial, with the jury awarding the plaintiffs a total of US$36,0 million in compensatory damages and US$10,3 million in punitive damages against the subsidiary Avon. The Company believes it has strong grounds to seek the annulment of the judgment in this case and in January 2023 began the process of appealing the verdict seeking annulment in the trial court. On March 1, 2023, following post-trial arguments, the trial court issued a conditional order reducing the compensatory damages award against the subsidiary Avon to US$29,3 million. Plaintiffs have challenged the reduction of the award as to subsidiary Avon and have asserted that the reduction should only apply to subsidiary Avon’s co-defendant. The trial court has resolved this issue in the Plaintiffs’ favor and, once judgment is entered, the case will proceed on appeal.

    22.2. Contingencies assessed as possible risk of loss

    The Company has administrative and judicial contingencies which the expectation of loss, assessed by the Company's Management and supported by legal advisors, is classified as possible and, therefore, no provision has been recorded. As of September 30, 2023, the amounts of contingencies classified with probability of possible loss are as follows:
