Independent Auditor’s Report
To
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Raízen S.A.
Rio de Janeiro – RJ
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Raízen S.A. (the Company), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “combined consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2024 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Other matters
Priors years financial statements audited by another independent auditor
The audit of the consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, presented for comparison purposes, were examined by another independent auditor, who issued an unmodified audit reports dated June 29, 2023 and September 27, 2022, respectively.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the combined consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Opinion
We have audited the combined consolidated financial statements of Raízen S.A. (the Company), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2023, and the related combined consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “combined consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2023 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Responsibilities of Management for the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the combined consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
Raízen S.A., formerly Raízen Combustíveis S.A., (“Raízen” or “Raízen Combustíveis” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a publicly-held corporation with shares traded on B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”), under ticker “RAIZ4”, in the listing segment named “Level 2 of Corporate Governance”. Raízen is a corporation established for an indefinite term, under Brazilian laws, headquartered at Avenida Afonso Arinos de Melo Franco, 222, Apartment building 2, room 321, Barra da Tijuca, in the city and state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Company is jointly controlled by Shell PLC (“Shell”), and Cosan S.A. (“Cosan”).
On June 1, 2021, the shareholders of Cosan and Shell approved a corporate reorganization (the “Corporate Reorganization”), pursuant to which they contributed all their shares in Raízen Energia S.A. (“RESA”) to Raízen Combustíveis. As a result of the Corporate Reorganization, RESA became a wholly owned subsidiary of Raízen Combustíveis.
In the Special General Meeting held on June 2, 2021, Raízen Combustíveis shareholders approved the change of the corporate name to Raízen S.A.
On August 5, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering of its preferred shares that begun trading in B3.
The Company’s main activities are: (i) distribution and sale of fossil and renewable fuels; (ii) production and sale of automotive and industrial lubricants; (iii) oil refining; (iv) operations related to convenience stores; (v) development of technology on a global scale relating to the production of sugar, ethanol and new energy sources; (vi) production, trading and sale of ethanol, sugar and bioenergy; (vii) development of projects for the generation of electric energy from renewable sources; and (viii) equity interest in other companies.
The planting of sugarcane (main source of raw material to produce ethanol, sugar and bioenergy) requires a period from 12 to 18 months for maturation and the harvest period usually begins between the months of April and May every year and ends, in general, between the months of November and December, period in which ethanol, sugar and bioenergy production also takes place in the Company’s bioenergy parks.
The sale of production takes place throughout the year and is subject to seasonal trends based on the sugarcane growth cycle in the region where it operates, as well as demand conditions in target markets, resulting in certain fluctuations in inventories and the supply of this raw material due to the impact of adverse weather conditions.
Due to its production cycle, the Company’s fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31 of each year.
The main transactions in the year ended March 31, 2024, were:
1.1. Formation of Centroeste Distribuição de Derivados de Petróleo Ltda. (“Centroeste Distribuição”)
On March 1, 2024, Raízen and Simarelli Distribuidora de Derivados de Petróleo Ltda. (“Simarelli”) established Centroeste Distribuição to operate fuel distribution activity, among others, in the State of Mato Grosso (“MT”). The details of this transaction are described in Note 32.a.
1.2. Funding from Green Notes
On March 5, 2024, subsidiary Raízen Fuels Finance S.A. (“Raízen Fuels”) issued bonds with “green” seal, in the amounts of US$ 1,000,000 thousand and US$ 500,000 thousand, due in 2034 and 2054, respectively. The details of this transaction are described in Note 18.d.
1.3. Repurchase of Senior Notes 2027
On March 6, 2024, indirect subsidiary Raízen Fuels completed the repurchase of Senior Notes due in 2027, with a total of US$ 382,994 thousand exercised. The details of this transaction are described in Note 18.c.

On March 12, 2024, the indirect subsidiary Raízen Trading S.A. entered into a commercial transaction to advance future revenues linked to a long-term E2G contract, in the amount of US$ 617,000 thousand, with the purpose of sustaining the investment required for the construction of new E2G plants. The details of this transaction are described in Note 20.

1.5. Tax reform
On December 20, 2023, Constitutional Amendment 132 (“CA 132”) was enacted, establishing the Tax Reform (“Reform”) on consumption. Several issues, including the rates of new taxes, are pending regulation by complementary laws (“LC”) that must be sent to the National Congress for evaluation within 180 days, counting from the promulgation of CA 132.
The Reform model is based on a dual Value Added Tax (“dual VAT”) one Federal (Contribution on Goods and Services (“CBS”)) and one subnational (Tax on Goods and Services (“IBS”)), which will replace taxation by Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for Social Integration Program (“PIS”), Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for Social Security Financing (“COFINS”), State VAT (“ICMS”) and Service Tax (“ISS”). A Selective Tax (“IS”) was also created – of federal jurisdiction, which will be levied on production, extraction, trading or import of goods and services that are harmful to health and the environment, in accordance with the LC.
There will be a transition period between 2024 and 2032, in which the two tax systems – old and new – will coexist. The impact of the Reform on the calculation of the aforementioned taxes, from the beginning of the transition period, will only be fully known when the process of regulation of the pending issues by LC is finalized. Consequently, there is no effect of the Reform on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024.
2.1. Basis of preparation
The combined consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations (collectively, “IFRS Accounting Standards”).
These combined consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of Raízen on November 8, 2024.
Corporate reorganization – Predecessor method
As described in Note 1, On June 1, 2021, the shareholders of Cosan and Shell approved the Corporate Reorganization.
IFRS provides no guidelines for the accounting of corporate reorganizations among entities under common control, as such, based on the guidance of International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 8, Accounting Polices, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, paragraphs 10 through 12, the Company developed and applied an accounting policy, considering the most recent pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies that use a similar conceptual framework to develop accounting standards other accounting literature and industry practices.
As a result, the Company accounted for the corporate reorganization using the predecessor method of accounting, and the consolidated financial statements are presented “as if” Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen S.A. combined (the “Raízen Group”) are the predecessor of the Company prior to the corporate reorganization. Under the predecessor method, the historical operations of Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen S.A. are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, those combined consolidated financial statements reflect:
|
|
(i) |
the historical combined consolidated operating results of the Raízen Group prior to the Corporate Reorganization; |
|
|
(ii) |
the consolidated results and financial positions of Raízen S.A. following the Corporate Reorganization; |
|
|
(iii) |
the assets and liabilities of the Raízen Group at their historical cost; |
|
|
(iv) |
the net investment for the periods prior to the Corporate Reorganization; |
|
|
(v) |
Raízen’s earnings per share for all period presented. The number of shares issued by the Raízen, as a result of the Corporate Reorganization is reflected retrospectively at the beginning of the earliest period presented, for purposes of calculating earnings per share. |
(a) Basis of measurement
The combined consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, except, when applicable, for the valuation of certain assets and liabilities, such as short-term investments, inventories, biological assets, financial instruments (including derivative instruments), and loans and financing, which are measured at fair value.
(b) Functional and presentation currency
These combined consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais (“R$”), which is also the Company’s functional currency. The functional currency of subsidiaries operating in the international economic environment is the U.S. dollar (“US$”), except for subsidiary Raízen Paraguay, which has the Paraguayan Guarani (“GS”) as its functional currency. All balances were rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements of each subsidiary included in the Company’s consolidation and combination, as well as those used as a basis for investments measured by the equity method, are prepared based on the functional currency of each entity. For subsidiaries based abroad, their assets and liabilities were converted into Reais at the exchange rate at the end of the year and the results were calculated at the average monthly rate during the year. The translation effects are stated in equity from these subsidiaries.

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
(c) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the combined consolidated financial statements requires that management make judgments and estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the amounts disclosed referring to revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities as of the financial statements reporting date.
These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are reviewed and in any subsequent years affected.
If there is a meaningful change in the facts and circumstances on which the assumptions and estimates are based, the statement of income and the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries could be significantly impacted.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions that require a higher level of judgment or complexity in their application are as follows:
The Company is subject to income tax and social contribution in all countries in which it operates. Accordingly, a significant judgment is required to determine the provision for these taxes.
In certain transactions, the final determination of the tax is uncertain. The Company also recognizes provisions to cover certain situations in which it is probable that additional tax amounts will be due. When the result of these matters is different from the amounts initially estimated and recorded, these differences affect current and deferred tax assets and liabilities and income or comprehensive income for the year in which the definitive amount is determined. For further details, see Note 19.
Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which losses can be used in the future. Additionally, the Company recognizes deferred taxes based on temporary differences determined from the tax base and the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities, using the rates in force. Management’s significant professional judgment is required to determine the deferred income tax and social contribution tax assets to be recognized based on reasonable timing and future taxable profit level, jointly with future tax planning strategies. For further details, see Note 19.d.
Biological assets are measured at fair value on each statement of financial position date and the effects of changes in fair value between periods are allocated directly to the cost of products sold. For further details, see Note 9.
The accounting treatment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets includes making estimates to determine the useful life for depreciation and amortization purposes, in addition to the fair value on the acquisition date, especially regarding assets acquired in business combinations.
The Company has estimated obligations, recognized at present value, related to the expected expenses with the removal of fuel storage tanks, recorded as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment. The calculation of these estimates involves significant judgment, considering mainly risk-free discount rates adjusted for Raízen's credit risk and historical spending on services of this nature.
The Company annually assesses the impairment indicators of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, subject to depreciation and amortization, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recovered. Determination of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill was attributed also includes the use of estimates and requires significant judgment by management. For more details, see Notes 14 and 15.

The Company and its subsidiaries recognize the provision for tax, civil, labor and environmental disputes. Determination of the likelihood of loss includes determination of evidence available, hierarchy of laws, jurisprudence available, more recent court decisions and relevance thereof in legal system, as well as evaluation of internal and external attorneys. Such provisions are reviewed and adjusted to take into account changes in circumstances, such as statute of limitations applicable, tax inspection conclusions or additional exposures identified based on new matters or court decisions. For further details, see Note 21.
When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities presented in the statement of financial position may not be obtained from active markets, it is determined using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow method. The data for these methods are based on those adopted in the market, whenever possible. However, when this is not possible, a certain level of judgment is required to establish the fair value. Judgment includes considerations of the inputs used, such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in the assumptions relating to these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. For further details, see Note 29.
Management exercises significant judgment in determining the assumptions used to measure lease liabilities, such as determining the term of the various lease agreements, discount rates, the agreements that are within the scope of the standard, and the impacts of any changes in the assumptions associated with the judgments and estimates adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries. For further details, see Note 17.
The management exercises judgment in determining the assumptions used in measuring and recognizing the fair value of share-based payment on the date of grant and in determining the impacts of any changes on the assumptions associated with the judgments and estimates adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries. For further details, see Note 23.
As mentioned in Note 2.3.a, revenues from sales of products by the Company and its subsidiaries are recognized upon delivery of the products to the customer. For sales occurring in the last days of the year, a provision is made to estimate the amount of revenue from sales of products invoiced but not delivered to the customer.
The process of measuring sales invoiced and not delivered at the end of the year involves Management's judgment, and such judgment considers the estimate of average delivery times ("lead time") of sales that occurred in the last days of the year, observing the amounts invoiced.
2.2. Basis of consolidation/combination

2.3. Summary of significant accounting policies
The main accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are defined below. Those accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Revenue recognition
Revenues from sales of products, such as sugar, fossil fuels and renewables and lubricants, are recognized on the delivery to the client. Delivery is considered to be the moment when the client accepts the products and the risks and benefits from the ownership are transferred. Revenue is recognized at this time as long as revenue and costs can be reliably measured, receipt of the consideration is likely and there is no continuous involvement of management with the products. Sales prices are established based on purchase orders or contracts.
The Company and its subsidiaries recognize revenue through the 5-step model, in accordance with the IFRS 15 approach: (1) identification of contracts with a customer; (2) identification of performance obligations; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of transaction price to performance obligations in contracts; and, (5) revenue recognition when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied and control of the good or service is transferred to the customer.
Revenue is measured and stated at the fair value of the consideration deducted by taxes (State VAT (“ICMS”), Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for Social Integration Program (“PIS”), Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for Social Security Financing (“COFINS”), Tax on Industrialized Products (“IPI”), Social Contribution Tax for Intervention in the Economic Order (“CIDE”), Fuel Transfer Tax (“ITC”), Value Added Tax (“IVA”); and Tax on Gross Income (“IIB”) and Service Tax (“ISS”)), returns, rebates and discounts, amortization referring to exclusive supply rights, as well as eliminations of sales between group companies, in the case of the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue from the sale of cogeneration of power of Raízen’s subsidiaries is recorded based on the power available on the network and at rates specified under the terms of the supply agreements or the market price in force, as applicable. The calculation of the volume of energy delivered to the buyer occurs monthly. Clients gain control of electricity from the moment they consume it. Due to the flow of billing of certain agreements, the electric power produced and sold through auction is initially recorded as anticipated revenue, recognized in the statement of income for the year only when available for use by clients.
Commodities and energy operations are traded on an active market, and, for accounting purposes, they meet the definition of financial instruments at fair value. Raízen recognizes revenue when the energy is delivered to the client at the fair value of the consideration. In addition, unrealized net gains resulting from mark-to-market – difference between contracted and market prices – from open net contracted operations on the date of the annual financial statements are recognized as revenue.
Storage and lease income comprises rent of gas stations and storage of fuels at the Raízen and its subsidiaries’ terminals and is recognized based on the effective rendering of services, under “Other operating revenue (expenses), net”.
The Company has advance payments for future sales of its main products, which are recorded in liabilities under “Advance from clients”. For long-term contracts, the Company assesses whether there is an impact from a significant financing component, considering the period between receipt of payment and the deadline for fulfilling the performance obligation and, when applicable, updates the amounts of the consideration received, the effect of which is recognized in financial results.
(b) Transactions in foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions are initially recognized by the Company’s entities at the functional currency in effect on the transaction date or on the valuation dates when the items are remeasured.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into R$ using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the respective statement of financial position, and foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settlement of these transactions and from translation using the exchange rates at the year-end are recognized in the statement of income under “Financial results”, except when qualified as hedge accounting and, therefore, recognized in statement of comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the initial transaction date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency, if any, are translated using the exchange rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of an entity abroad (entities with a functional currency different from the parent company Raízen) are treated as assets and liabilities of the entity abroad and translated at the closing rate, and the adjustments resulting from the translation are also recognized in equity as cumulative translation adjustments as a result of the effect of foreign currency translation.
(c) Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement
(i) Financial assets
Measurement
Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured: (i) at amortized cost; (ii) at fair value through other comprehensive income; or (iii) at fair value through profit or loss. Reclassification between classes occurs when there is a change in the business model for the management of financial assets and liabilities.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions: (i) the objective is to maintain financial assets to receive contractual cash flows; and (ii) its contractual terms generate, on specific dates, cash flows that are related to the payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets both of the following conditions: (i) the objective is both the receipt of contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets; and (ii) the contractual terms give rise, at specified dates, to cash flows that are Solely Payment of Principal and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as described above, are classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets held for trading or managed with performance assessed based on fair value are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Business model evaluation
The Company assesses the business model applied in the management of its financial assets to obtain contractual cash flows. The information considered includes: (i) the policies and objectives set for the portfolio, that is, identifying whether management’s strategy focuses on obtaining contractual interest income, maintaining a certain interest rate profile, the correspondence between the duration of financial assets and the duration of related liabilities or expected cash outflows, or the realization of cash flows through the sale of assets; (ii) how the portfolio’s performance is assessed and reported to the Company management; (iii) the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial asset held in that business model) and the way those risks are managed; (iv) how the business executives are compensated - for example, if the compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows obtained; and (v) the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in previous years, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales, in a manner consistent with the continuous recognition of the Company’s assets.
Evaluation whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest
The Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument to assess whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest.
This includes the analysis of a contractual term that could change the timing or the value of the contractual cash flows so that it would not meet this condition. When making this analysis, the Company considers: (i) contingent events that change the amount or timing of cash flows; (ii) terms that can adjust the contractual rate, including variable rates; (iii) prepayment and extension of the term; and (iv) the terms that limit the Company’s access to cash flows from specific assets (for example, based on the performance of an asset).
For purposes of assessment of contractual cash flows, “principal” is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition. “Interest” is substantially defined as a consideration for the time value of money and the credit risk associated with the principal outstanding over a given period of time and the other basic risks and costs of borrowing (for example, liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.

Impairment of financial assets
For the evaluation and measurement of the allowance for expected credit losses, an expected loss matrix is adopted as a practical expedient that considers the grouping of clients with similar default characteristics, sales channel and rating (client risk rating, measured internally).
The Company applies the expected credit loss model to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(ii) Financial liabilities
These are measured at amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss, comprising, in the case of the Company, mostly loans and financing, balances payable to suppliers and related parties, and derivative financial instruments.
Interest payments on loans and financing, from third parties and related parties, are classified as cash flow from financing activities.
(iii) Offset of financial instruments - net presentation
Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal 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.
(iv) Derecognition (write-off)
A financial asset is derecognized when: (i) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset expire; and (ii) the Company transfers its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or assumes an obligation to fully pay the cash flows received to a third party under a “pass-through” agreement.
The effective transfer of the rights to receive cash flows from an asset is achieved when: (a) the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards relating to the asset but transfers control thereover.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales. For these cases, the recognition of the transferred asset is conducted to the extent of the Company's continuous involvement with these instruments.
A financial liability is written off when the obligation under the liability is extinguished, which means when the obligation specified in the contract is settled, canceled or expires. In addition, if an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective book values is recognized in the statement of income.
(v) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as currency forward contracts, commodity forward contracts, options and swaps to hedge against the risk of changes in exchange rates and commodity prices. These financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date when the instrument is executed and are subsequently also revalued at fair value. Derivatives are stated as financial assets when the instrument’s fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when negative.
Any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedge accounting during the year are recognized directly in profit or loss in the case of instruments related to operating transactions, in operating accounts (for example: revenue, cost, expenses) and, in the case of instruments related to financial operations, as financial income (expenses). For instruments designated as cash flow hedge, gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized directly in equity, under “Equity adjustments”.

Hedge accounting
The following classifications apply for hedge accounting purposes: (i) fair value hedge by hedging against exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, as well as the component of any of these items that is attributable to a specific risk and may affect profit or loss; (ii) cash flow hedge by hedging against changes in cash flows that are attributable to a specific risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that may affect profit or loss; or (iii) net investment hedge in a foreign operation in a foreign operating unit.
Upon designation, the Company formally classifies and documents the hedge relationship. The documentation substantially includes: (i) identification of the hedging instrument; (ii) the hedged item or hedged transaction; (iii) the nature of the hedged risk; (iv) statement confirming that the transaction is within management's policies and practices; (v) statement confirming the correlation of the hedging instrument for the purpose of offsetting the exposure to the change in the fair value of the hedged item or cash flows related to the hedged risk; (vi) the highly probable nature of the forecast hedged transaction as well as the forecast periods of transfer of gains or losses arising from hedging instruments from equity to profit or loss and the management's risk management objective and strategy; and (vii) criteria for evaluating the effect of credit risk on the protection relationship; and, (viii) metrics for determining effectiveness, as well as possible sources of ineffectiveness.
The Company has formal designations for hedge accounting for the following structures:
Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of the gain or loss of the hedging instrument is recognized directly in equity, under “Accumulated other comprehensive income”, while the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the year.
The amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, for example, when the hedged income or expense is recognized or when a forecasted sale occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a nonfinancial asset or liability, the amounts recorded in equity are transferred to the initial carrying amount of such asset or liability. If occurrence of the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected, the amounts previously recognized in equity are transferred to profit or loss. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its classification as hedge is revoked, gains or losses previously recognized in comprehensive income remain in equity until the forecast transaction or firm commitment affects profit or loss.
The cash flow hedging relationships of highly probable future exports or imports are considered to be continuous hedging relationships and qualify for hedge accounting.
Net investment hedge in foreign entities
Hedge of net investment in foreign operations is accounted for similarly to cash flow hedge. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument related to the effective hedge portion is recognized under equity, in “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. The gain or loss related to the ineffective portion is immediately recognized in profit or loss. Accumulated gains and losses in equity are included in profit or loss for the year, when the foreign investment is sold.
Fair value hedge of certain financial liabilities
The Company designates certain debts (Note 18) as liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, to eliminate or significantly reduce inconsistencies in measurement that would otherwise result in the recognition of gains and losses on the loans and derivatives on different bases. As a result, fluctuations in the fair value of loans are recognized under “Financial income (expenses)”, as “Fair value of financial instruments payable”, classified in the “Financial expenses” group.

The parent company Raízen designates inventories of by-products with pegged derivatives at fair value, as detailed in Notes 3.e and 8.
Evaluation of effectiveness tests
There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments, since the instruments are contracted with the same characteristics as the operations designated as the hedged items. The Company established a 1:1 coverage ratio for the relationships designated for hedge accounting. This parameter was defined considering that the underlying risk of the hedging instruments is similar to the hedged risks.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the hedge, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method for cash flow hedge structures and analysis of critical terms for fair value hedge structures, comparing changes in fair value of hedging instruments with changes in fair value of hedged items attributable to hedged risks.
The sources of hedge ineffectiveness can be from: (i) differences in timing of cash flows from hedged items and from hedging instruments; (ii) different indices (and consequently different curves) associated with the hedged risk of hedged items and hedging instruments; and (iii) changes in expected amount of cash flows from hedged items and from hedging instruments.
(d) Decarbonization credits (“CBIOs”)
The Company is a fossil fuel distributor and has carbon offsetting goals into the atmosphere through acquisition, and subsequent definitive withdrawal of the CBIO (retirement), according to established norms by Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency (“ANP”) and the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) under the terms of the new Brazil’s National Biofuels Policy.
The Company classifies the carbon credits purchased as a financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss, including those issued for the certification of biofuel production to RESA and its subsidiaries. They are recognized under “Other receivables", in current assets, and initially measured based on the carbon credit acquisition price and/or certification (in the case of producers), matched against operating income. The goals established and published by the ANP remain in force until December of each year and are recorded by the Company as provision in "Other liabilities", in current liabilities, matched against operating income.
Payments for the purchase of CBIO credits are classified as cash flows from operating activities, in changes in assets and liabilities, as “Others, net”.
In June 2022, Decree 11,141/2022 was published, establishing that each fuel distributor had to prove compliance with its individual target by March 31 of each year. The same decree established that the target for 2022, had to be proven, exceptionally, by September 2023.
(e) Inventories
In general, inventories are valued at the average cost of acquisition or formation of finished products, net of recoverable taxes, except for certain products that are measured at fair value based on observable market prices, if and when available, not exceeding net realizable value.
The costs of finished products and work in process comprise raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and respective direct production expenses (based on normal operating capacity) and non-recoverable taxes, which are related to the processes necessary to put the products in conditions of sale.
Loss allowances, such as: (i) adjustments to net realizable value, (ii) impaired items; and (iii) slow-moving and/or obsolete inventories are recorded when necessary. Normal production losses are part of the production cost for the respective period, while other losses, if any, are recognized directly in profit or loss for the year, without transiting through inventories, under the line item “Cost of goods sold, and services provided”.

(f) Biological assets
The Company’s biological assets refer to unharvested cane cultivated in sugarcane crops, which will be used as a raw material in the production of ethanol, sugar and bioenergy upon harvesting. The fair value measurement method is the cash flow discounted to present value. The valuation model considers the present value of expected cash flows to be generated, including projections of up to two years, considering the estimates of the effective date for cutting the unharvested sugarcane. Changes in fair values between the years, as well as their amortization, are allocated to the profit or loss under Cost of products sold and services provided.
(g) Related parties
Raízen and its subsidiaries have a fully integrated management of the cash flow, the main instruments used for cash management are described below:
The subsidiary RESA, which centralizes the corporate activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, is responsible for cash management, based on the mentioned contract.
Such transactions are presented in the statement of cash flows, on a net basis, under cash flows from financing activities.
In certain situations, the Raízen’s subsidiaries domiciled abroad raise funds in the international financial market and subsequently transfer them to Raízen companies domiciled in Brazil, in the form of PPE contracts. These contracts are formalized pegged to exported volumes of products sufficient to settle the contracts.
Such transactions are presented under cash flows from investing activities when granted (outflow of funds) and under cash flows from financing activities when received (inflow of funds).
Operational and financial transactions with related parties are conducted on an arm’s length basis, in line with those prevailing in the market or with conditions the Company would contract with third parties.
(h) Contract assets
The contract assets correspond to the bonuses granted to Raízen clients and are subject to deadlines and performance obligations, particularly the use of the quantities provided for in fuels supply contracts. As the contractual conditions are met, bonuses are amortized and recognized in the statement of income, under Net operating revenue.

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
(i) Investment in subsidiaries (individual financial statements) and in associates and joint ventures
Investments in entities over which the Company has significant influence or shared control are accounted for using the equity method, initially recorded in the statement of financial position at cost, plus changes after the acquisition of equity interest.
The statement of income reflects the share of the profit or loss from subsidiaries’ operations based on the equity method. When a change is directly recorded in equity of the subsidiary, associate or joint venture, the Company recognizes this fact in the statement of changes in equity, when applicable.
After application of the equity method, the Company establishes whether an additional impairment loss on its investment in its subsidiary, associate and joint venture should be recorded. The Company establishes, at each statement of financial position date, whether there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired. If that is the case, the Company calculates the impairment amount as the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of the subsidiary, associate and joint venture, and records this amount in the statement of income.
The accounting policies of the associates and joint ventures are adjusted, when necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
Dividends and interest on own capital received from investments in subsidiaries (individual financial statements), in associates and joint ventures are classified as cash flow from investing activities.
(j) Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment items, including sugarcane plantation, are measured at historical acquisition or construction cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cost includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset. The cost of assets built by the Company and its subsidiaries includes materials and direct labor, and any other cost to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to operate as intended by management, borrowing costs on qualifying assets, and non-recoverable taxes. Borrowing costs related to funds raised for construction in progress are capitalized upon completion of these projects.
Expected expenses with removal of fuel storage tanks are estimated and recorded as part of the cost of property, plant, and equipment, matched against the provision that will support such expenses, in current and non-current liabilities, depending on the expected term of the obligation, under “Other liabilities”.
Subsidiary RESA conducts the main scheduled maintenance activities at its bioenergy plants on an annual basis (off-season). This usually takes place between January and March and aim the inspect and replace components. The principal annual maintenance costs include costs for labor, materials, external services and overhead allocated during the off-season period. These costs are classified as parts and components that are frequently replaced, in property, plant and equipment, and are fully depreciated in the following harvest.
The cost of an equipment item that must be replaced annually is accounted for as a component of the equipment cost and depreciated over the next crop year. Periodic maintenance costs are expensed when incurred as the replaced components do not improve production capacity or introduce improvements to equipment.
Other repairs and maintenance are recognized in income over the period in which they are incurred. The cost of any renewal that increases the useful life must be recorded and included in the asset's carrying amount if it is probable that future economic benefits after the renewal will exceed the initially assessed performance standard for the existing asset and these benefits will flow to the Company. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.
Land is not depreciated.

The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed by competent technical members and adjusted, as appropriate, at each year end.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the sales amounts with the carrying amount and are recognized in “Other operating revenue, net” in the statement of income.
(k) Leases
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.
Lease liabilities, including those whose underlying assets are of low value, are measured at the present value of lease payments without reflecting projected future inflation, which take into account recoverable taxes (PIS and COFINS), as well as non-cancellable terms and extension options when reasonably certain.
Payment flows are discounted at the nominal incremental borrowing rate on certain Raízen loans and financing, as interest rates implicit in lease agreements with third parties typically cannot be readily determined.
In the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the discount rates applied in accordance with the contractual term were as follows:

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, comprising the value of the initial measurement of the lease liability and, when applicable, adjusted for any lease payments made in advance, initial direct costs incurred, cost estimates for dismantling and removal, and incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the same depreciation method applied to similar property, plant and equipment items and, if applicable, will also be reduced by impairment losses.
The Company remeasures the lease liability if there is a change in the lease term or if there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in the index or rate used to determine these payments, and the remeasurement of the lease liability is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases contracts that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option.
Payments associated with short-term, indefinite-term leases without fixed payments are recognized as an expense over the term of the contract.
(l) Intangible assets
Goodwill is the excess difference between the amount paid for the acquisition of a business and the net fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree, measured by the expected future profitability. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is disclosed under Intangible assets.
Goodwill generated from acquisitions of Brazilian entities is recorded at cost and goodwill resulting from the acquisition of an entity abroad (with a functional currency different from the parent company Raízen) is converted by the closing rate. Goodwill is recorded at cost, less any impairment losses, when applicable, subjected to testing at least annually. For impairment test purposes, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, as of acquisition date, allocated to each cash generating unit of the Company expected to benefit from the business combination, regardless of other assets or liabilities of the acquiree being attributed to these units.
Intangible assets with defined useful life are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization, and impairment losses, when applicable.
As of March 31, 2024, and 2023, the annual weighted average amortization rates are as follows:

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
(1) Software license
Licenses acquired for computer programs are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful life by Raízen. Software maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenses directly associated with software, controlled by Raízen, which are likely to generate economic benefits greater than costs for more than one year, are recognized as intangible assets.
(2) Brands
In May 2021 and 2022, the Company, and the indirect subsidiary Neolubes entered into, respectively, licensing agreements for the use of the “Shell” brand with Shell Brands International AG (“Shell Brands”). Under these agreements, the Company maintains the right of use of the “Shell” Brand, in the fuel distribution, lubricant and related activities sector in Brazil, for a minimum period of 13 (thirteen) years, which can be renewed in certain cases, subject to compliance with certain conditions set out in the agreements.
The brands are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts of the Shell brand and over a period of 6 (six) years for the Barcos & Rodados brand, arising from the acquisition of Raízen Paraguay by the Company on November 1, 2021.
(3) Contractual relations with clients
It corresponds to the intangible asset with a defined useful life acquired in the business combination of Raízen Argentina and Neolubes and recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected life of the contractual relation with the client.
(4) Operating authorization
Corresponds to the right to use the license for the Company generation and distribution of energy in the Brazilian market, through 15 generating plants, acquired by indirect subsidiary Bioenergia Barra in the business combination of the acquisition and formation of Gera. Such intangible asset, was recognized at fair value on the acquisition date, have a finite useful life and are accounted for at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected life of the contractual relation with the client, which is valid until 2052.
(5) Sharecropping and sugarcane supply agreements
These classes of intangible classes were acquired in a business combination and were recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. They have a defined useful life and are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected life of the contractual relation with the supplier and the client.
(6) Technology
Refers to technologies developed by Iogen Corp. for the production of second-generation ethanol (“E2G”), represented by contractual rights including, among others, exclusivity to subsidiary RESA for the sale of these rights in the territories in which it operates.
(m) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company and its subsidiaries assess if there are indications of impairment of an asset on an annual basis. If indications are identified, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset item is the higher of: (a) its fair value less costs that would be incurred to sell it; and (b) its value in use. When necessary, the value in use is usually determined based on the discounted cash flow resulting from the continuous use of the asset until the end of its useful life.
Regardless of the existence of indications of impairment, goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, if any, are tested for impairment annually.
When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the loss is recognized as an operating expense in the statement of income.

(n) Suppliers and Agreements
Supplier balances correspond to obligations payable for goods or services that were acquired in the normal course of the Company's activities, recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and adjusted for variations monetary and exchange rates incurred, when applicable
Additionally, the Company has agreements related to payments with financial institutions (“Agreements”), which allow certain suppliers to have, through specific conditions, the opportunity to advance their receivables relating to products sold and services provided to the Company, directly with the Financial Institution. In the aforementioned Agreements, it is up to the supplier to decide whether or not they wish to assign their credits and the terms of this acquisition, while it is up to the financial institutions to decide whether or not they wish to acquire these credits, without interference from Raízen. The use of the Agreements does not imply any change in the securities issued by its suppliers, maintaining the original trading conditions. The use of agreements by suppliers does not change the Company's cash operating cycle. Such operations are presented in the cash flow statement as a flow from operating activities.
The Company has commercial and financial operations under the scope of accounting standard
CPC 12 (R1) – Adjustment to present value and exercises judgment on the relevance of such effects on current and non-current assets and liabilities. Regarding transactions with suppliers and Agreements, as of March 31, 2024, there are no long-term transactions. In this sense, the recorded balances already substantially reflect the time value of money and the specific risks of the liability on its date original.
(o) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when: (i) the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is likely that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) amounts may be reliably estimated.
(p) Provision for legal disputes and contingent assets
The Company recognizes provisions for losses on legal and administrative proceedings in cases where the technical assessments of its legal advisors and Management's judgments consider future cash disbursements to be probable and the other conditions for recognizing a provision are met.
Contingent liabilities with probable likelihood of loss that cannot have their value measured and those with possible likelihood of loss are disclosed in notes, considering the best information available up to the disclosure date.
Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed in notes when the inflow of economic benefits is considered probable, and the amounts are material. If the inflow of economic benefits is virtually certain, which, in general, considers the final and unappealable court decision, and whose value can be reliably measured, the related asset ceases to be a contingent asset and its recognition is adequate.
(q) Employee benefits
The Company and its subsidiaries have defined benefit and contribution supplementary pension plans, for which studies and actuarial calculations are prepared annually by an independent professional, which are reviewed by Management.
For the defined contribution, the expense is recognized in profit or loss when it occurs, while, for the defined benefit, the Company recognizes a liability based on a methodology that considers a series of factors that are determined by actuarial calculations, which use certain assumptions to determine the cost (or revenue) for the pension plan.
Actuarial gains or losses arising from adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recorded directly in equity as other comprehensive income, when incurred.
Past service costs are immediately recognized in the statement of income.

(r) Share-based payment
The share-based equity settled payment plan is measured based on the fair value on the date the shares are granted and recognized as personnel expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the employees unconditionally become entitled to the benefits.
The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of shares for which the service conditions and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, so that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of shares that do meet the related service conditions and non-market vesting conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no modification for differences between expected and actual benefits.
When the terms of an equity-settled transaction are modified (for example, by plan modifications), the recognized minimum expense is the fair value at the date of grant, provided that the original vesting conditions are met. An additional expense, measured at the modification date, is recognized for any modification that increases the fair value of share-based payments or that otherwise benefits employees. When a grant is canceled by the entity or counterparty, any remaining element of the grant's fair value is immediately recognized as an expense in the statement of income.
The fair value of the amount payable to employees in relation to the share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities during the period in which employees unconditionally acquire the right to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at the settlement date, based on the fair value of the share appreciation rights. Any changes in the fair value of the corresponding liabilities are recognized in the statement of income as personnel expenses.
(s) Treasury shares
Treasury shares represent shares that are bought back by Raízen, recognized at acquisition cost and less equity, and are available for specific and limited purposes. No gain or loss is recognized in the statement of income on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration is recognized in under capital reserves, in equity.
(t) Income tax and social contribution
Income tax and social contribution income (expenses) for the year comprise current and deferred taxes. Income taxes are recognized in the statement of income, except to the extent they relate to items directly recognized in equity or comprehensive income, as applicable. In this case, the taxes are also recognized in equity or comprehensive income.
|
RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
Current and deferred income tax and social contribution are determined based on the tax legislation enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the statement of financial position in the countries where the Company entities operate and generate taxable profit. Management regularly assesses the positions assumed in the income tax calculations with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations give rise to different interpretations, and records provisions, when appropriate, based on estimated amounts payable to tax authorities.
In Brazil, income tax is calculated on taxable profit at a rate of 15%, plus surtax of 10% on profit exceeding R$240 over 12 months, whereas social contribution tax is calculated at a rate of 9% on taxable profit, both recognized on an accrual basis. In other words, the Company is subject to a theoretical combined tax rate equivalent to 34%.
Deferred income tax and social contribution related to income tax and social contribution tax losses and temporary differences are stated net in the statement of financial position when there is a legal right and the intention to offset them when calculating current taxes, related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority.
Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities in different entities or different countries are usually presented separately, and not on a net basis. Deferred taxes are calculated based on the rates established upon their realization and are reviewed annually.
Tax prepayments or current amounts subject to offsetting are stated under current or non-current assets, according to their estimated realization.
(u) Capital and remuneration to shareholders
Capital is represented by common and preferred shares. Incremental expenses directly attributable to the issue of shares, when incurred, are presented as a deduction from equity, as additional capital contribution, net of tax effects.
Common shares have full voting rights and preferred shares have restricted voting rights related to certain matters set forth in the Company’s Bylaws. Only common shares have convertibility rights, each common share can be converted by decision of its holder into a preferred share at the ratio of 1:1, subject to the limits set forth in the Brazilian Corporate Law.
Remuneration to shareholders is made in the form of dividends and/or interest on own capital.
Both common and preferred shares are entitled to receive mandatory dividends on the same basis, corresponding to 1% of the Company`s adjusted net income, in accordance with its Bylaws and the Brazilian Corporate Law. Common and preferred shares are entitled to reimbursement based on share price.
Interest on own capital is allocated to mandatory minimum dividends for the year, as provided for in the Company’s Bylaws, recorded in the statement of income, as required by tax laws, and reversed against retained earnings (current year) and/or income reserves (prior years) in equity, similarly to dividends, resulting in a tax credit recognized in profit or loss for the year.
Withholding income tax (“IRRF”) of 15% is levied on interest on own capital, except for immune and exempt shareholders, as established in the applicable legislation.

Remuneration to shareholders is classified as cash flow from financing activities, when paid.
(v) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to the Company's shareholders by the weighted average number of shares (common and preferred) outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the profit and the weighted average number of shares, taking into account the conversion of all potential shares with a dilutive effect (equity instruments, contracts capable of resulting in the issuance of shares and/or restricted shares within share-based payment plans).
(w) Business combinations and goodwill
The Company adopts the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities assumed, and any equity instruments issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, where applicable. Acquisition-related costs are recorded in the statement of income as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired; liabilities (including contingent) assumed in a business combination are initially measured at fair value on the acquisition date.
The Company recognizes the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, both for its fair value and for the proportional portion of the noncontrolling interest in the fair value of the acquiree's net assets. Measurement of the noncontrolling interest is determined for each acquisition made.
The excess of the consideration transferred and of the fair value on the date of acquisition of any previous equity interest in the acquiree in relation to the fair value of the Company’s interest in the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When applicable, in acquisitions in which the Company attributes fair value to noncontrolling interests, the determination of goodwill also includes the value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and goodwill is determined considering the interest of the Company and of noncontrolling interests. When the consideration transferred is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquiree, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of income for the year as a bargain purchase.
(x) Environmental issues
The Company minimizes the risks associated with environmental issues through operating procedures and controls and investments in pollution control systems and equipment. The Company records a provision for loss on environmental expenses, under “Other liabilities”, to the extent that it is necessary to conduct environmental remediation of the damage caused.

(y) Segment information
An operating segment is a component of the Company that conducts business activities from which revenues may be obtained and expenses incurred, including revenues and expenses related to transactions with other Company components. All operating income of the operating segments is frequently reviewed by the Company’s CEO and by the Board of Directors for purposes of decisions concerning funds to be allocated to the segment and performance evaluation, and for which individual financial information is available.
During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s main operating decision-makers reassessed its internal organization and the breakdown of its segments, which resulted in the following changes in the reportable segments: (i) new operating segment called “Other segments”, which represents the convenience and proximity store businesses and financial products and services businesses; and (ii) allocation of general and administrative expenses related to corporate areas as "Non-segmented". Accordingly, the Company restated the segment information previously reported for the year ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
2.4. Impacts of the new IFRS and IFRIC on the financial statements
The following amendments were adopted for the first time by Raízen for the year beginning on April 1, 2023:

This note presents information on the Company’s exposure to each of the mentioned risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s capital management.
(b) Risk management structure

Fair value hedge
The Company designates at fair value the inventories and highly probable purchases of oil by-products with pegged derivatives. Risk management is primarily intended for recognizing inventory at a floating price, as Raízen’s sales revenue will be upon sale of products to its clients. Hedge accounting aims to minimize any type of mismatching in the statement of income for the year, causing both the derivatives and the inventory to be recorded at fair value, with the change being recognized under Cost of products sold and services provided, whose positive impact, was R$ 9,903 as of March 31, 2024 (positive impact of R$ 5,145 in 2023 and R$ 55,876 in 2022). As of March 31, 2024, the fair value measurement balance of inventories increased by R$ 6,952 (decreased by R$ 2,951 in 2023).
(f) Interest rate risk
The Company monitors fluctuations in variable interest rates related to certain debts, especially those linked to, SOFR and IPCA, as well as other costs linked to inflation variations and uses, when necessary, derivative instruments with the aim of managing these risks.
The table below shows the positions of derivative financial instruments used to hedge interest rate risk:

(h) Credit risk
A substantial part of the sales made by the Company and its subsidiaries is to a group of highly qualified counterparties.
Credit risk is managed by specific rules for client acceptance, credit analysis and establishment of exposure limits per client, including, when applicable, requirement of letter of credit from first-tier banks and capturing security interest on loans granted. Management considers that the credit risk is substantially covered by the allowance for expected credit losses.
Individual risk limits are established based on internal or external ratings, according to the limits determined by the Company management. The use of credit limits is regularly monitored. No credit limits were exceeded in the year, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by the counterparties at an amount higher than that already provisioned.
The Company operates commodity derivatives in the New York – ICE US and NYMEX, Chicago - CBOT, and CME, and London - LIFFE commodity futures and options markets, as well as in the over the counter (OTC) market with selected counterparties. The Company operates exchange rate and commodity derivatives in over-the-counter contracts registered with B3, mainly with the main national and international banks considered Investment Grade by international rating agencies.
Guarantee margins (Restricted cash, Note 6.b) - Derivative transactions on commodity exchanges (ICE US, NYMEX, LIFFE and B3) require guarantee margins. The total consolidated margin deposited as of March 31, 2024, amounts to R$ 582,462 (R$ 1,272,959 in 2023), of which R$ 45,072 (R$ 62,110 in 2023) in restricted financial investments and R$ 537,390 (R$ 1,210,849 in 2023) in margin on derivative transactions.
The Company’s derivative transactions in over the counter do not require a guaranteed margin.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is mitigated through the conservative distribution of investment funds and CDBs that make up the item. The distribution follows strict criteria for allocation and exposure to counterparties, which are the main local and international banks considered, in their majority, as Investment Grade by the international rating agencies.
(i) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is that in which the Company may encounter difficulties in honoring the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled with cash payments or with another financial asset. The approach to this risk consists of prudential management that guarantees sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations upon maturity, under normal and stress conditions, without causing unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
As part of the liquidity management process, management prepares business plans and monitors their execution, discussing the positive and negative cash flow risks and assessing the availability of financial resources to support its operations, investments, and refinancing needs.

(j) Fair value
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is the amount for which a financial instrument may be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than a forced sale or settlement. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, suppliers, related parties and other short-term obligations approximates the respective carrying amount. The fair value of long-term assets and liabilities does not differ significantly from their carrying amount.
The fair value of loans and financing is obtained by determining the present value of future cash flows of obligations using, for this purpose, interest rate curves (according to contracted indexes). These financial instruments are substantially subject to variable interest rates (Note 18), resulting in a fair value that approximates the amounts recorded in the financial statements.
Derivatives measured by valuation techniques with observable market data refer mostly to swaps and forward contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forwards and swap pricing models, using present value calculation. The models include various inputs, including in connection with the creditworthiness of the counterparties, spot and forward foreign exchange rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the hedged commodity.

During the years ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, there were no transfers between these levels to determine the fair value of financial instruments.
(k) Sensitivity analysis
Raízen adopted three scenarios for its sensitivity analysis, one probable and two (possible and remote) that may have adverse effects on the fair value of its financial instruments. The probable scenario was defined based on the commodities futures market curves for sugar, ethanol, diesel (heating oil), US dollar and other currencies on March 31, 2024, corresponding to the balance of the derivatives’ fair value on that date. Possible and remote adverse scenarios were defined considering adverse impacts of 25% and 50% on product price curves, US dollar and other currencies, which were calculated based on the probable scenario.

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
Segment information reporting is stated consistently with internal reports provided by key operational decision makers. The key operational decision makers, responsible for the strategic decision making, allocation of funds and for the assessment of performance of operating segments are the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Board of Directors. The Company’s operating segments are:
(i) Mobility (formerly Marketing and Services): mainly refers to the trade and sale activities of fossil and renewable fuels and lubricants, through a franchised network of service stations under the Shell brand throughout the national territory and in Latin America, operating in Argentina and Paraguay.
(ii) Sugar: this refers to sugar production, sale, origination and trading activities.
(iii) Renewables: this refers to: (a) ethanol production, sale, origination, and trading activities; (b) production and sale of bioenergy; (c) resale and trading of electric power; and (d) production and sale of other renewable products (solar energy and biogas). These activities were aggregated into a single segment, as their products and services come from renewable sources, use similar technologies, and present synergies in their production and distribution process. The combination of these activities results in the portfolio of clean energy and retirement of carbon credits offered by the Company. The performance of these activities is assessed on an integrated basis by Management through the operating results
(iv) Other segments: refers to convenience and proximity store business and financial products and services businesses.

Operating assets by segment
The assets of the Mobility segment are geographically allocated, comprising Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay.
In addition, considering that part of the assets of RESA and its subsidiaries is also used for the production of sugar and renewables, Raízen segregated these assets by segment through the corresponding cost center in which they are allocated and/or apportionment criteria, which take into consideration the production of each product in relation to its total production.

Raízen’s biological assets comprise unharvested cane cultivated in sugarcane crops, which will be used as a raw material source in the production of sugar, ethanol, and bioenergy upon harvesting.
Planted areas represent only sugarcane crops, not considering the land where the crops are located, which are recognized under Property, plant, and equipment and/or right of use, as applicable.
The fair value measurement method is the cash flow discounted to present value. The valuation model considers the present value of expected cash flows to be generated, including projections of up to 18 months, considering the estimates of the effective date for cutting the unharvested cane.
The main assumptions used in determining the fair value, determined by level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, were:
|
|
2024 |
|
2023 |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
8.62% |
During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company reviewed the assumptions used to calculate the biological asset, and the main assumptions were: (i) decrease in agricultural costs; (ii) increase in average ATR price, influenced by the price of Very High Polarization (“VHP”) sugar, in line with what has been observed in recent months, as well as new projections for the US dollar; (iii) decrease in the quality of the raw material; and (iv) increase in average tons of sugarcane per hectare (“TCH”) of harvested sugarcane.
During the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the changes in biological assets are as follows:

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements |
The operational activities of sugarcane planting are exposed to variations resulting from climate changes, pests, diseases, and forest fires, among other natural forces,
Historically, climatic conditions can cause volatility in the sugar-energy sector and, consequently, in the Company's operating results, as they influence crops by increasing or reducing harvests.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company evaluated the consolidated impact on fair value of biological assets as of March 31, 2024, as a sensitivity analysis, considering the increase or decrease by 5% of the following assumptions: (i) the quantity of ATR per hectare; (ii) the price per kg of projected average ATR; and (iii) the WACC annual discount rate.

(i) ICMS
It mainly arises from interstate operations for the distribution of oil by-products, in which the tax burden of the receiving state is lower than that retained by the supplier, according to Agreement No, 110/07. The reimbursement takes place through formalization of a process with the states, whereby after the request is approved, the payment is made by the substitute taxpayer, in this case the refinery, by means of a credit in a bank checking account and ICMS credits granted by the states, as provided for in Constitutional Amendment No.123/2023 (“CA No.123/2023”) .
To use ICMS credit balances, the Company is internally reviewing certain activities, in particular the logistics of operations with changes in supply hubs. In addition, there are requests for special regimes from certain state tax authorities, requests for authorization to transfer balances between branches in the same state and analysis of credit sales to third parties.
The ICMS recoverable balance presented in these financial statements reflects the amount that the Company expects to realize, less the provision for loss on credits, for which management has no expectation to realize them.
(ii) PIS and COFINS
ICMS on the PIS and COFINS tax bases
On March 15, 2017, the Federal Supreme Court of Brazil (“STF”) completed the judgment of Appeal No. 574,706 and, under general resonance, established the thesis that the ICMS does not make up the PIS and COFINS tax base, since this amount does not represent the Company’s revenue/billing. In other words, taxpayers have the right to exclude the ICMS amount recorded in the invoice from the PIS and COFINS tax base.
In 2018, the Company recognized credits referring to periods after March 2017, based on the decision handed down on that date by the STF. In addition, the amounts recognized, referring to prior periods, for the group companies that have been awarded favorable final decisions on the referred matter, that is, a res judicata decision, were calculated based on the accounting and tax systems, considering the ICMS amount recorded in invoices. The accuracy of amounts was assessed by crosschecking the information with the relevant accessory obligations.
Since adoption of the PIS and COFINS noncumulative regime, the Company has been pleading in court the right to exclude ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax base and concluded that the legal certainty necessary for the recognition of said credits had been reached, due to certain res judicata decisions handed down on lawsuits for the entire period after 5 years of the date of distribution of the lawsuits in court and, in the case of decisions not yet final, credits after October 2, 2017, prospectively, according to the conclusion of the leading case granting the appeal to taxpayers, for which amounts were recorded in tax assets.
On May 13, 2021, the STF concluded the judgment on the modulation of the effects of the decision that excluded the ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax base (Appeal No. 574,706) and confirmed that the ICMS to be considered is that recorded in the invoice, and not the ICMS amount paid, recognizing credits of this nature for the period from April 2011 to December 2014.
Complementary Laws 192/2022 and 194/2022 (“LC 192/22” and “LC 194/22”, respectively) and others
On March 11, 2022, LC 192/22 was published, aiming at reducing the tax burden on the fuel supply chain. Article 9 of the law established the reduction to zero by December 31, 2022, of PIS and COFINS rates levied on diesel oil, biodiesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), while ensuring that the credits linked to the entire economic chain would remain unaffected.
On May 18, 2022, Provisional Measure 1,118/22 (“MP 1,118/22”) was published, excluding the right to PIS and COFINS credits arising from purchases of diesel oil, LPG and biodiesel. Following this act by the Executive Branch, on June 2, 2022 a claim brought on grounds of unconstitutionality (ADI No. 7181) was filed, which challenged said provision in MP 1,118/22, On June 21, 2022, at a Plenary Meeting the Federal Supreme Court (STF) upheld, by unanimous vote, the decision previously issued by a single judge at a court of appeals level which considered said MP as unconstitutional on the grounds that it did not comply with the principle under which no new increases in social contributions may be collected in a period of less than ninety days after the publication of the respective statute.

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
As a result of the injunction and because MP 1,118/22 was not converted into law, the wording of LC 192/22 remained in force, which assured to all legal entities in the oil and gas supply chain, including Raízen subsidiaries, that PIS and COFINS credits linked to such operations would remain unaffected in the period from March 11, 2022 (date on which LC 192/22 was published) to August 15, 2022 (ninety days after the date of publication of MP 1,118/22, which limited the right to credit by taxpayers), when it started to generate effects, according to the STF’s decision.
Therefore, the Company, supported by external and internal legal counsels and after meeting the recognition criteria evaluated by the Company, recognized in profit or loss for the year ended March 31, 2024, PIS and COFINS credits in the consolidated amount of R$ 385,327 (R$ 3,766,224 in 2023).
With respect to LC 194/22, which restricted the right to PIS and COFINS credit on the acquisition of diesel, jet fuel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”), as per the wording in MP 1,118/22, published still in the ninety-day period, this resulted in an increase in the tax burden. Accordingly, supported by the opinions of external and internal legal experts, the constitutional principle of ninety-day holding period should be observed. Therefore, the Company and its subsidiaries recognized PIS and COFINS credits related to the period from August 16 to September 21, 2022, in the consolidated amount of R$ 1,080,981.
In addition, during the year ended March 31, 2024, the subsidiaries Sabbá and Mime obtained a favorable final and unappealable decision for the recognition of previous period’s PIS and COFINS tax credits, in the amount of R$ 13,523, relating to overpayments of these taxes on fuel import and sale operations, for the period from July 21 to October 18, 2017, which was after the enactment of Decrees 9,101 and 9,112 of 2017.
The credits described above, in the amount of R$ 1,479,831 and R$ 3,766,224, were recorded in the consolidated statement of income for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, under “Other operating revenue, net” and “Cost of products sold and services provided”, respectively, with a corresponding entry in “Recoverable taxes”,
In the year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company and its subsidiaries used the amount of R$ 310,973 and R$ 1,107,149, respectively, related to credits of this nature to offset balances of IRPJ and CSLL payable, generated upon recognition.
The PIS and COFINS recoverable balance presented in these financial statements reflects the amount that the Company and its subsidiaries expect to realize, less the provision for loss on credits, for which Management has no expectation to realize them, when applicable. Considering Management's estimates, the expected period for realizing the PIS and COFINS credits is up to 10 years.
(iii) IVA
This refers to the federal tax applicable in Argentina and Paraguay on commercial transactions with clients and suppliers, whose triggering event, determination, and payment takes place monthly.

(1) As of March 31, 2024, the goodwill generated by the acquisition of Raízen Argentina and Raízen Paraguay includes the balance of the effect of foreign currency translation in the amount of R$ 76,642 and less R$ 63,955 (R$ 81,674 and less 49,845 in 2023), respectively.

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
Impairment analysis for cash generating units containing goodwill
Raízen assessed the recoverable amount of goodwill at least annually.
Management uses the value in use method to determine the recoverable amount, which is based on the projection of the discounted cash flows expected from the cash-generating units (CGU) determined by management based on the budgets that consider the assumptions related to each CGU, using information available in the market and prior performance.
The Company’s discounted cash flows related to the CGU “Mobility” of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay were prepared for a period of 25 years and carried at perpetuity without considering the real growth rate, based on past performance and expectations for market development. Cash flows arising from the continued use of related assets are adjusted for specific risks and use the post-tax discount rate, calculated at 5.27% per year (9.16% in 2023).
The main assumptions used by the Company were: (i) prices based on the market expectation, (ii) estimated growth rates for the business sector, and (iii) extrapolations of growth rates based on the Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The entire future cash flow was discounted at rates that reflect specific risks related to the relevant assets in each cash-generating unit.
The discounted cash flows of the subsidiary RESA and its subsidiaries, which comprise substantially the CGUs “Sugar” and “Renewables”, were prepared for a period of 30 years, in accordance with a reasonable time to recover the assets related to the activities of their economic sector. No real growth rate was considered in the year of the cash flow or in perpetuity, based on past performance and expectations for market development. The discount rate used was 5.27% per year (9.16% in 2023).
The main assumptions used for subsidiary RESA and its subsidiaries were: (i) expected price of sales of commodities over the long term; (ii) productivity in agricultural areas; (iii) performance of Total Recoverable Sugar (“TRS”); and (iv) operating and administrative costs. The entire cash flow was discounted at rates that reflect specific risks related to the relevant assets in each cash-generating unit.
As a result of the annual impairment tests, no significant losses were recognized in the years ended March 31, 2024, and 2023. The determination of the recoverability of assets depends on certain key assumptions as described above, which are influenced by the market, technological and economic conditions prevailing when such test is carried out and, therefore, it is not possible to determine whether impairment losses will occur in the future and, in the event, they occur, if they will be material.

(1,606,425) |
| (1) | This refers to the potential right of PIS/COFINS credits on payments of lease calculated based on the theoretical rate of 9.25%, applicable in Brazil. The purpose of this disclosure is to comply with Memorandum Circular CVM/SNC/SEP No. 02/2019 and is only an estimate. Therefore, these credits are not those that could effectively be used by Raízen, and its subsidiaries located in Brazil in the future. In such event, the referred to credits may be materially different due to possibility of the effective rate being different from the theoretical rate or due to subsequent changes in Brazilian tax legislation. |

(f) Realization of deferred income tax and social contribution
In assessing the ability to recover deferred taxes, management takes into consideration projections of future taxable profit and changes in temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that they will be used in the future. There is no expiration date for the use of the income tax and social contribution tax loss carryforwards balances, however the use of the tax loss carryforward is limited to 30% of annual taxable profits.
As of March 31, 2024, Raízen expects to realize deferred tax assets in certain entities, including income and social contribution tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences, as follows:

(i) ICMS
The amount recorded as a provision for ICMS credits is represented by: a) tax assessments received that, despite being defended, are assessed as probable loss by the Company’s legal advisors; (b) use of finance credits and charges in matters on which understanding of the Company’s management and tax advisors differ from tax authorities’ interpretations; and (c) questioning of the breach of accessory obligation (CAT Ordinance) in the period from January 2001 to December 2004, related to the methodology for calculating ICMS credits in the state of São Paulo, in the monetarily adjusted amount of R$ 133,311 (R$ 127,663 in 2023).
(ii) IPI
The amount recorded as a provision for IPI credits is represented by: (a) tax assessment notice received referring to imported goods and other notices; (b) offset of credits deriving from inputs used in exempt shipment; and (c) IPI Seletividade, a matter recently judged by STF, under General Resonance (RE No. 592145, matter 080) unfavorably to the taxpayer.
(iii) PIS and COFINS
The amount recorded as a provision for PIS and COFINS credits is represented by: (a) contribution from 1997 to 1999 referring to merger of company; and (b) IPI credits used to offset PIS and COFINS deriving from inputs used in exempt shipments.
|
RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements |
(iv) IRPJ and CSLL
These refer to interlocutory decisions related to different offsets carried out by PER/DCOMP (E-Requests for Federal Tax Recovery, Refund or Offset) related to IPI credits used to offset IRPJ and CSLL. Said offset stopped being approved because a tax assessment notice was issued to stop recognition of credits based on the fact that, in the period from January 2008 to September 2010: (a) the Company did not record and pay IPI owed at the rate of 8% on certain transactions classified in TIPI (table of IPI levy); and (b) the Company did not reverse IPI credits referring to inputs used in the industrialization of certain products classified in TIPI, considering that shipment of such products is not taxed.
In the first item, the dispute occurs due to difference about classification of products as oil by-products and, in the second item, it occurs because authorities do not recognize the right to maintain IPI credits on shipment transactions that are exempt or not taxed.
(v) CIDE
The Company provisioned CIDE on services rendered in oil and natural gas exploration and production activities conducted before the formation of Raízen, whose balance as of March 31, 2023, totals R$ 442,197 (R$ 422,919 in 2023). The amounts due were deposited in court, in the same amount, reason why there will be no financial disbursement by the Company in the event of loss of the lawsuit. Therefore, the balance of legal disputes is presented net of the judicial deposit made in these financial statements.
(b) Civil, labor, and environmental
Raízen is a party to several civil lawsuits related to compensation for property and pain and suffering damages, contractual disputes, real estate and credit recovery discussions, among others.
Raízen is also a party to several labor claims filed by former employees and employees of service providers who question, among others, the payment of overtime, night shift, employee's safety and health risk premiums job reinstatement, refund of deductions made in payroll of payment such as confederative association dues and union dues.
The main environmental demands are related to environmental remediation work to be conducted at filing stations, distribution bases and airports.
Legal disputes considered as possible losses and, thus, no provision for legal disputes has been recognized in the financial statements

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements |
i. ICMS
Refers substantially to: (i) portion related to fine of the tax assessment notice served due to the alleged nonpayment of ICMS and noncompliance with accessory obligation, in an operation involving sharecropping agreement and toll manufacturing, from May 2005 to March 2006 and May 2006 to March 2007; (ii) ICMS levied on shipping of crystallized sugar for export, which, according to the tax agent, is classified as semi-finished good and, under ICMS regulation, is subject to taxation; (iii) ICMS levied on alleged divergences in the sugar and ethanol inventories, arising from the comparison between the magnetic tax files and the Inventory Registration Books; (iv) tax assessment notices related to collection of the ICMS tax differential resulting from sales of ethanol intended to companies located in other States of the Country, which, based on a superseding rule, had their state registrations revoked; (v) ICMS requirement resulting from disallowance of diesel oil credits used in the agro-industrial production process, with a defense filed for being essential to the Company’s activities, based on article 155, paragraph 2, item I of the Federal Constitution and Supplementary Law No. 87/96; (vi) ICMS credits not reversed; (vii) lack of full reversal of ICMS-ST credits for ICMS tax substitution (ICMS-ST); (viii) noncompliance with accessory obligations; (ix) undue use of credits from Controls for ICMS tax credits on permanent assets (“CIAP”); (x) alleged undue use of credits related to ICMS-ST on diesel in the capacity of final consumer; (xi) matching credit allegedly unduly taken; and (xiv) tax credits related to freight (transport services) allegedly unduly used since the subsequent operation is exempt or not taxed; (xiii) alleged failure to collect ICMS and undue credit due until customs clearance of goods imported from abroad through a branch located in another state; (xiv) alleged non-payment of tax on the sale of anhydrous fuel ethanol to a company whose registration status is not located. The State Treasury, despite the Company's proven good faith, disregarded the existing evidence and declared, retroactively, the unsuitability of the corresponding invoices, contrary to Precedent 509 of STJ; (xv) ICMS credit arising from the acquisition of inputs and intermediate goods, supported by a report; (xvi) alleged differences in inventories of products sold (volume correction factor/temperature difference); (xvii) undue use of ICMS credits; (xviii) alleged non-issuance of invoices resulting from gains declared in System of Capture and Audit of Fuel Attachments (“SCANC”), which resulted in failure to pay ICMS-ST, such omissions are explained by the volumetric variation factor, regarding the application of the volume correction factor (“FCV”); (xix) alleged underpayment of ICMS-ST, due to the use of the weighted average price to final customer (“PMPF”) (date of registration of the import declaration vs. date of custom clearance); and (xx) lack of full reversal of ICMS-ST.
ii. IRPJ, CSLL, PIS, COFINS and IOF
Main legal disputes refer substantially to: (i) interlocutory decisions handed down by the RFB in November 2013, which address disallowance of noncumulative PIS and COFINS credits, arising from goods and services purchased in the domestic market and offset against IRRF, IRPJ and CSLL. Given that the disallowed credits are related to goods and services used in the Company's production chain, the disallowance is totally undue and illegal, based on current legislation (Laws No. 10,637/02 and No. 10,833/03); (ii) tax assessment noticed received in 2016, recoverable from the shareholder Cosan, related to the disallowance of deductions from goodwill amortization for calendar years 2011 to 2012 (the corporate fact that generated the right to use goodwill occurred in 2006) for which the possible amount totals R$ 133,566 (R$ 124,607 in 2023); (iii) tax assessment notice received in 2018 referring to the disallowance of goodwill amortization due to expected future profitability, deducted from the IRPJ and CSLL tax bases for calendar years 2013 to 2016, in the amount of R$ 442,011 (R$ 408,257 in 2023). The Company filed an administrative defense because the goodwill amortization occurred under the terms of the current legislation; (iv) tax assessment notice received from the federal tax authorities in 2018 requiring payment of IRPJ and CSLL for 2013 and 2014 based on alleged undue deductions from taxable income for the year of monthly estimates that were subject to unapproved offsets. The Company filed objections, as current legislation and opinion No. 88/14 of the Office of the Attorney General of the National Treasury (PGFN) allows the collection of estimates in offsetting processes; (v) amortization occurred between 2011 and 2014 of the goodwill generated on the acquisition of Tavares de Melo, Ampla and Santaelisa Vale. The tax assessment notice unduly considers the imposition of an isolated fine for non-payment of estimates, an aggravated fine and the imposition of a fine for omission in accessory obligation (ECF); (vi) offsets with negative balances in different periods; (vii) disallowance of PIS and COFINS credits by the non-cumulative system provided for in Laws No. 10,637/2002 and 10,833/2003, respectively. These disallowances stem, in summary, from the restrictive interpretation of the RFB regarding the concept of "inputs", as well as different interpretations of the said laws; and (viii) reimbursement/offsets of non-cumulative PIS and COFINS credits with different origins (Laws No. 10,637/02 and 10,833/03) for the periods from 2014 to 2016: The RFB rejected the requests and considered all the related offsets as not declared arguing that the credits would be linked to lawsuits discussing the unconstitutionality of ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, that the outcome of the lawsuit No. 0030888- 84.2017.4.02.5101, where the Company discusses the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation base, could change the amount of the credit. It follows that the claimed credit does not arise from the lawsuit, that is, the Company does not seek the refund of PIS and COFINS credits overpaid due to the inclusion of ICMS in their calculation bases.

iii. INSS
Possible legal disputes related to INSS involve mainly: (i) requirement of the contribution for purposes of the National Rural Learning Service (SENAR) on direct and indirect export operations, where the RFB understands that there is no right to constitutional immunity; and (ii) requirement of the social security tax on resale of goods in the domestic market and to third parties that are not included in the social security tax base calculation, which only applies to gross revenue resulting from the production effectively occurring in the facilities and not from purchased goods.
iv. ISS
Refers to failure to withhold or pay for services contracted in several periods.
v. Offsets with IPI credit – IN 67/98
RFB Regulatory Instruction No. 67/98 brought with it the possibility of a refund of IPI collected in the period from January 14, 1992, to November 16, 1997, on amorphous refined sugar. Accordingly, subsidiary RESA, for the years in which the payment was made, pleaded to offset amounts against other taxes due. However, the Federal Revenue Service dismissed requests for a refund as well as an offset. Thus, subsidiary RESA administratively appealed against the dismissal.
After notification of payment of debts object of an offset in view of the changes introduced by IN SRF No. 210/02, subsidiary RESA filed a writ of mandamus with an injunction request to suspend the enforceability of offset taxes, with the aim of impeding the Public Administration from executing these debts. The injunction was granted by the competent court.
vi. MP 470/2009 – installment payment of debts
Federal Revenue Service partially rejected requests for payment of federal tax debts in installments made by subsidiary RESA, with the argument that offered tax loss is not sufficient to settle respective debts. Subsidiary RESA and its legal advisors consider that the losses indicated existed and were available for such use.
vii. IPI
Tax requirement on sales of sugar subject to a 0% rate due to their degree of polarization exceeding 99.5º or not subject to IPI, pursuant to Regulatory Instruction 67/98. This ruling was used in the respective proceedings brought by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, whose likelihood of loss is classified as possible, according to the assessment of Raízen’s legal advisors.

The Company has fuel purchase agreements with third parties in order to guarantee part of its future trading, it also has contracts for rail transportation with the purpose of transporting fuel from the supply bases to the reseller stations, whose amount to be paid is determined according to the price agreed in the contract.
Raízen has stockpiling service contracts for fuels with third parties, in accordance with the logistics and storage objectives in certain regions.
Through RESA and its subsidiaries, Raízen has commitments to purchase sugarcane, fuel, industrial equipment, electric and steam energy, lease and sharecropping agreements, sugar storage, transportation and handling services.
The commitments to purchase sugarcane with third parties are intended to guarantee part of its production in subsequent harvests. The amount of sugarcane to be acquired is calculated based on the estimated amount to be milled per area based on their expected productivity where sugarcane plantations are located. The amount to be paid by RESA and its subsidiaries is determined at the end of each crop year, according to the price published by the CONSECANA (Council of Sugarcane, Sugar and Ethanol Producers in the São Paulo State – Brazil).
Raízen entered into agreements with the Rumo Group for the transportation and handling of sugar for exports.
As of March 31, 2024, the volumes related to purchase commitments and service agreements by crop are as follows:

| (1) | Refers to the grant for sale of diesel oil to be received from Brazil’s National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) by equalizing part of the costs to which producers and importers of diesel oil are subject, under the terms of certain decrees and provisional measures, which were converted into Law 13,723, of October 4, 2018. |
| (2) | Refers to the Goiás state incentive program “Produzir,” which finances part of the ICMS payment. |
| (3) | Refers to the tax benefit on sugar industrial processing operations in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, equivalent to 67% of the ICMS debt balance and the matching credit of ethanol. |
| (4) | Refers to the benefit granted by States under ICMS Agreement No. 116/2022 and Constitutional Amendment No. 123/2022 attributing granted credit (or matching credit), used in taxpayers’ bookkeeping to offset ICMS debts in their ordinary calculation, resulting from hydrated ethanol production and commercialization operations. |
| (5) | In a Board of Director Meeting of March 13, 2023, the allocation of dividends from the Company's income reserve was approved, for which part of the tax incentive reserve of investees was used, in the amount of R$ 132,267. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the balance of this reserve was not used for allocation of dividends. |
| (6) | During the year ended March 31, 2023, the impact of these tax incentives on the consolidated operating income was R$ 181,022 (R$ 516,144 in 2023). |
(ii) Legal reserve
As of March 31, 2024, and 2023, as established in Brazilian Corporation Law, the Company did not allocate 5% of net income to the Legal reserve, due to the fact that the total balance of the legal and capital reserves has exceeded 30% of the capital amount.
(iii) Profit retention reserve
This refers to the remaining balance of the Company’s net income for the year, after allocations for set up of the legal reserve and provision for mandatory minimum dividends, which was allocated to Profit retention reserve until its final allocation is approved at the Annual General Meeting. The Company’s Bylaws provide that up to 80% of the profit for the year can be allocated to this reserve, for operations and new investments and projects, not exceeding 80% of the capital amount.

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
The Company offers restricted share plans linked to: (i) non-interruption of the relationship between the executive and the Company (vesting period); and (ii) achievement of performance conditions.
The fair value of grants related to the period the participant remains in the Company during the vesting period (restricted share unit - RSU) was determined based on the market value of the Company’s shares in B3.
Regarding the portion of the plan that is linked to the performance conditions (performance share unit – PSU), the fair value was measured based on the Monte Carlo method (“MMC”) considering market conditions.
As of March 31, 2024, Raízen has the following share-based payment programs and their vesting conditions in effect:
| (1) | IPO incentive (PSU): The effectiveness of this program, as well as the beginning of the vesting period, was conditioned to the satisfactory conclusion of the initial public offering of the Company's shares. The acquisition of the right to receive shares is subject to performance conditions in 5 annual installments, each installment corresponding to a vesting period. | |
| (2) | VLP 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/23 (PSU): The delivery of shares will occur in a 3-year period, cumulatively subject to the application of performance and permanence conditions during the vesting period. | |
| (3) | VLP 2020/21 and 2022/23 (RSU): Grants are subject to the maintenance of the employment relationship during the vesting period. | |
| (4) | Transition Program - 2017/18: The purpose of this program is the migration of participants granted under the terms of the former long-term variable compensation plans to the current share-based compensation plan of Raízen, as approved at the EGM held on July 2, 2021. The delivery of shares is subject to the maintenance of the employment relationship during the vesting period. | |
| (5) | VLP 2018/19, 2019/20, 2021/22 and Hiring Program 2022/23 (RSU): RSU grants are subject to the participant’s stay during the vesting period. Upon completion of this period, for each 1 (one) RSU, the participant will be entitled to receive 1 (one) share of the Company. |

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company delivered 7,889,888 preferred shares, equivalent to R$ 45,661 (5,715,466 preferred shares, equivalent to R$ 30,923 in 2023). There were no cancellations of shares in the year ended March 31, 2024.
Share-based payment expenses, included in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended March 31, 2024, were R$ 124,024 (R$ 46,112 in 2023 and R$ 42,305 in 2022).
The fair value of the PSU option plans is measured based on the MMC method. The fair value was determined by the TSR (Total Shareholder Return) and the share values of other companies, which are considered market performance conditions. The restricted shares plan considers the following assumptions:
| (i) | The “VLP 2021/22” and “VLP 2022/23” programs used the value of Raízen shares (RAIZ4) for the business day prior to the grant date; | |
| (ii) | The “VLP 2018/20” and “VLP 2019/20” programs used the value of Raízen shares (RAIZ4) for the grant date; | |
| (iii) | Except for the aforementioned programs, peer alternatives were sought in view of the expected volatility, due to Raízen's low closing history. The Company used Cosan's volatility history, based on the proximity between the sectors in which it operates and the fact that the shareholder Cosan holds a relevant stake in Raízen's capital stock, which indicates that Raízen's business implicitly represents part of Cosan's volatility, using the standard deviation model of daily returns for the aforementioned calculation; | |
| (iv) | Since the grant agreement adjusts the participant’s gain in relation to the distribution of dividends during the vesting period, no adjustments were required in the amount of the assets granted resulting from the distribution of dividends; | |
| (v) | The weighted average risk-free interest rate used was the curve of fixed interest rate in Reais (DI estimate) observed in the open market; | |
| (vi) | The fee for exit before vesting, which affects the provision for plan costs, was estimated by the Company at approximately 9%; and | |
| (vii) | There are no clauses related to share lockup. |

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
(a) Pension fund
Variable contribution
The Company sponsors the Retirement Plan Raiz, administered by FuturaMais – Entidade de Previdência Complementar (formerly RaizPrev – Entidade de Previdência Privada), a closed nonprofit supplementary pension plan entity.
The Entity has administrative, equity and financial autonomy, and its objective is to administer and provide private pension plans, as defined in the Benefit Plan Regulations.
The Company has legal and contractual obligations that could give rise to the need to make additional extraordinary contributions in case of shortfall. In the year ended March 31, 2024, the contribution recognized as an expense totaled R$ 35,913 (R$ 32,141 in 2023 and R$ 21,314 in 2022).
Pension and healthcare plan of subsidiary Raízen Argentina and Neolubes
Raízen Argentina granted pension plans to non-union employees with defined and non-financed benefit. These plans are effective but closed to new participants since the end of 2014. The healthcare coverage of retired employees is an inherited and frozen benefit, whose cost is equally apportioned between the Company and the former employees.
In addition, indirect subsidiary Neolubes has legal obligations in accordance with articles 30 and 31 of Law 9,656, published on June 3, 1998, which establish that employees who contribute to the monthly fee of the healthcare plan offered by the entity have the option of maintaining their enrollment in the plan after termination of the employment contract without just cause, under the same coverage conditions that they enjoyed when the employment contract was in force, as long as they assume full payment of the plan fee.
(b) Profit sharing
The Company recognizes a liability and an expense for profit sharing based on a methodology that considers previously defined goals of employees. The Company recognizes a provision when it is contractually bound or when there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
Raízen has an insurance and risk management program that provides coverage and protection compatible with its assets and operation.
The insurance coverage taken out is based on a careful study of risks and losses conducted by local insurance advisors, and the types of insurance taken out are considered sufficient by management to cover claims, if any, considering the nature of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are as follows:
|
Insurance type |
|
Coverage |
|
Insured amount |
|
Operational risks |

(a) Formation of Centroeste Distribuição
On April 11, 2022, the Company and Simarelli entered into a share purchase and sale agreement and other covenants (“Agreement”) for the formation of Centroeste Distribuição, a company engaged in fuel distribution activity, among others, in the State of Mato Grosso, excluding the cities of Comodoro, Padronal, Juína, Colorado do Oeste, Cabixis and Panelas, which are not part of Centroeste Distribuição’ s area of operation.
On March 1, 2024, upon compliance with all the conditions precedent set forth in the Agreement, Raízen made a capital contribution to Centroeste Distribuição in the amount of R$ 201,843, through contribution of net operating assets related to the Alto Taquari, Cuiabá and Rondonópolis bases, located in the State of Mato Grosso, as well as a consideration payable in the amount of R$ 4,710, referring to the price adjustment due to Simarelli. As a result of this transaction, the Company now holds control of Centroeste Distribuição, with an 89% interest.
The preliminary fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date is presented below. The difference between the amount paid and net assets at fair value resulted in the recognition of preliminary goodwill due to expected future profitability.

The Company recognized the interest of non-controlling shareholders through the proportional interest of 11% in the net assets acquired, in the amount of R$ 23,010.
Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed were analyzed and the respective accounting balances reflect the respective fair values.
These effects are preliminary, since on the date of the disclosure of the annual financial statements, the review process for the issuance of the report for allocation of the purchase price was still in progress, and within the measurement period, as provided by IFRS 3.

(b) Acquisition of lubricant business from Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda. (“SBPL”) by Blueway
Since 2011, the Company has acted as a marketing agent for Shell brand lubricants, based on the contract signed between Raízen and Shell, which had a term of 10 (ten) years.
With maturity of this intermediation agreement on June 7, 2021, Raízen and Shell negotiated an extension of the scope of the relationship held until then, with acquisition of the totality of SBPL by Raízen.
On May 1, 2022, the subsidiary Blueway acquired from SBPL all the shares of Neolubes for R$ 731,796, comprising the base price of R$ 750,000 and R$ 18,204 in favor of Blueway related to price adjustments, provided for in the contract.
The lubricant business is now part of Raízen's portfolio, which includes the lubricant plant located in Ilha do Governador (Rio de Janeiro), the base oil terminal in Campos Elíseos, Duque de Caxias (Rio de Janeiro), the Shell Marine division of lubricants and the business of supply and distribution of Shell lubricants in Brazil.
The conclusion of this Transaction will allow Raízen the opportunity of increasing its supply of premium products to more than fifty thousand industrial and commercial clients and more than fifty million customers to whom it provides services in its network every year.
During the year ended March 31, 2024, Blueway concluded the purchase price allocation procedures for the acquisition of Neolubes, whose impact recognized in the result for the year, under “Other operating revenue (expenses), net”, was R$ 162,593. Therefore, the final bargain purchase gain at Neolubes totaled R$ 429,186 (preliminary gain of R$ 266,593 in 2023).

The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the main assets acquired were as follows:
|
Assets acquired (1) |
|
Valuation techniques |
|
Property, plant, and equipment |
|
Market comparison technique and cost technique: the valuation model considers the market prices quoted for similar items, when available, and the depreciated replacement cost, when applicable. The depreciated replacement cost reflects adjustments of physical deterioration, as well as the functional and economic obsolescence. In the final allocation of the bargain purchase gain, the fair value of property, plant and equipment items on the acquisition date totaled R$ 415,645, which represented surplus value of R$ 274,473 to be depreciated based on assets’ useful lives of approximately 14 years. |
|
Intangible assets |
|
Contracts with clients and other contractual relationships: Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (“MPEEM”) technique. This model estimates fair value based on the business unit's future cash flow discounts. Cash flows considered substantially future revenues related to existing contracts with clients. In the final allocation of the bargain purchase gain, the fair value of contracts with clients totaled R$ 5,819 (R$ 35,062 in 2023), fully recognized as surplus value to be amortized on a straight-line basis over an average period of 6.6 years. |
| (1) | As of March 31, 2024, deferred tax liability was recorded on such surplus values, in the amount of R$ 83,378 (R$ 11,921 in 2023). |

RAÍZEN S.A. Notes to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated |
Neolubes’ accounts receivable balance, on the acquisition date, is composed of gross contractual amounts due of R$ 519,736, of which R$ 2,492 are estimated to be non-recoverable on the acquisition date.
Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed were analyzed and the respective accounting balances reflect the respective fair values.
Neolubes’ net operating revenue and net income for the period from May 1 to March 31, 2023, considered from the acquisition date, amounted to R$ 2,399,963 and R$ 38,105, respectively. If the consolidation of subsidiary Neolubes had taken place since April 1, 2022, the consolidated income statement for the year ended March 31, 2023, would present consolidated net revenue of R$ 246,053,710 and consolidated net income of R$ 2,505,409.
(c) Acquisition of Payly
On October 17, 2022, the Company informed its shareholders and the market in general that it is creating Raízen’s Financial Services Unit (“Unit”), through the acquisition of Payly, a company controlled by shareholder Cosan.
The acquisition of Payly and the creation of this Unit will allow: (i) the offering of convenience and loyalty to end customer and partners, through commercial channels and platforms; (ii) proprietary data intelligence; and (iii) factoring and raising of funds from third parties, adding value to the Company’s business chain.
On November 24, 2022, Brazil’s Antitrust Agency (CADE) granted the definitive approval, without restrictions, of the application to conduct joint operations referring to the transaction between Raízen and the shareholder Shell, after a period of 15 days from its publication in the Federal Gazette, on November 7, 2022.
The acquisition was subject to the fulfillment of other conditions precedent usual for this type of transaction, which were fully concluded on May 1, 2022.
On December 1, 2022, Raizen paid to Cosan R$ 87,200 for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Payly, free of any debt, comprising the base price of R$ 78,000 and an additional R$ 9,200, provided for in the contract, related to capital contributions made by Cosan in Payly.
On April 28, 2023, the Company and the sellers signed the price adjustment agreement, which determined a price adjustment in favor of Raízen, in the amount of R$ 1,321, fully received on that date.
During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company concluded the procedures for allocating the purchase price for the acquisition of Payly. Therefore, final goodwill based on expected future profitability at Payly totaled R$ 73,568 (preliminary goodwill of R$ 75,744 in 2023).
During the year ended March 31, 2024, the changes in the final bargain purchase gain on such acquisition are as follows:

The valuation technique used to measure the fair value of intangible assets was as follows:
|
Assets acquired (1) |
|
Valuation techniques |
|
Intangible assets |
|
Software systems: in order to assess the fair value of such intangible asset, the “Income approach” was considered using the Relief from Royalty Method due to the possibility of relating the cash flow generated directly to the asset in question. In the final allocation, the fair value of the software totaled R$ 9,004, which represented a surplus value of R$ 1,295 to be amortized over a useful life of up to 10 years. |
| (1) | As of December 31, 2023, deferred tax liability was recorded on such surplus value, in the amount of R$ 440. |

Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed were analyzed and the respective accounting balances reflect the respective fair values.
The goodwill generated on the acquisition of Payly is attributable to supply synergies and profitability of the acquired business. Goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for income tax.
Payly’s net operating revenue and loss for the period from December 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023, starting from the acquisition date, were R$ 1,060 and R$ 11,610, respectively. If the consolidation of the subsidiary had occurred since April 1, 2022, there would be no material change in revenue and consolidated results for the year ended March 31, 2023, since they do not show material revenues and results.
