=
or fair value through other comprehensive (loss) income, since i)
they have a business model different to those that seek to collect
contractual cash flows, or collect contractual cash flows and sell
the financial assets, or otherwise ii) the generated cash flows are
not solely payments of principal and interest on the amount of
outstanding principal.
Despite the above classifications, the Company can make the
following irrevocable elections in the initial recognition of a financial
asset:
a. Disclose the subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity
instrument in other comprehensive (loss) income, only if such
investment (in which no significant influence, joint control or
control is maintained) is not held for trading purposes, that is,
a contingent consideration recognized as a result of a business
combination.
b. Assign a debt instrument to be measured at fair value in profit
or loss, if as a result it eliminates or significantly reduces an
accounting mismatch that would arise from the measurement
of assets or liabilities or the recognition of profits and losses on
them in different bases.
As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company has not
made any of the irrevocable designations described above.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company uses a new impairment model based on expected
credit losses rather than losses incurred, applicable to financial
assets subject to such assessment (i.e. financial assets measured
at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive
(loss) income), as well as lease receivables, contract assets, certain
written loan commitments, and financial guarantee contracts. The
expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated from
the initial recognition of the asset at each reporting date, using as
a reference the past experience of the Company's credit losses,
adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors or groups of
debtors, the general economic conditions and an assessment of
both, the current management and the forecast of future conditions.
a. Trade accounts receivables
The Company adopted a simplified expected loss calculation
model, through which expected credit losses during the accounts
payable's lifetime are recognized.
The Company carries out an analysis of its portfolio of accounts
receivable from clients, in order to determine if there are significant
clients for whom it requires an individual evaluation; on the other
hand, customers with similar characteristics that share credit
risks (participation in the portfolio of accounts receivable, market
type, sector, geographic area, etc.), are grouped to be evaluated
collectively.
In its impairment assessment, the Company may include indications
that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant
financial difficulties, as well as observable data indicating that there
is a significant decrease in the estimate of the cash flows to be
received, including delays.
