27. Equity
Accounting policy
(i) Share capital
Share capital is represented exclusively by common shares classified as
equity.
(ii) Dividends
This is recognized as a liability in the Company's financial statements at
year-end based on the Company's bylaws. Any amount that exceeds the
minimum required, 25% of the profit for the year, is only recognized on
the date it is approved by the stockholders at a General Meeting. When a
Company presents a loss in the year, there is no dividend.
(iii) Earnings per share
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the
controlling stockholders by the weighted average number of common sha-
res during the year. The weighted average number of shares is calculated
based on the periods in which the shares were outstanding.
(iv) Statutory reserve and retained earnings reserve
The statutory reserve is constituted by the appropriation of 5% of the net
income for the fiscal year or remaining balance, limited to 20% of the capi-
tal stock. Its purpose is to ensure the integrity of social capital. It can only
be used to offset losses and increase capital. When the Company presents
a loss in the year, there will be no legal reserve.
The retained earnings reserve refers to the retention of the remaining
balance of retained earnings in order to meet the business growth plan
established in the Company's investment plan.
(v) Government grants
The tax incentive reserve is credited with tax incentive benefits, which are
recognized in the income statement for the year and allocated to retained
earnings for this reserve. These incentives are not included in the calcula-
tion of the mandatory minimum dividend.
(vi) Equity valuation adjustments
The equity valuation adjustments include:
(a) The effective portion of the cumulative net change in fair value of hedge
instruments used in hedge of cash flow until the recognition of the cash
flows that were hedged.
(b) Cumulative translation adjustments with the exchange differences
arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign
operations.
(c) Effective portion with exchange differences of hedge of the Company's
net investments in a foreign operation.
(d) Actuarial losses (gains) and measures with retirement benefits.
