Effects of currency price
volatility on Vale’s financial
performance
In 2Q15, from end to end, the Brazilian Real (BRL) appreciated 3.0% against the US Dollar
(USD) from BRL 3.20/ USD as of March 31st, 2015 to BRL 3.10/ USD as of June 30
th, 2015.
On a quarterly average, the exchange rate depreciated by 6.9%, from an average BRL 2.87/
USD in 1Q15 to an average BRL 3.07/USD in 2Q15.
Although Vale reports its financial performance in USD, the BRL depreciation impacts its
results since the functional currency of Vale’s parent company, Vale S. A., is the BRL.
The end to end appreciation of the BRL against the USD and other currencies caused mainly
non-cash gains of US$ 764 million on our earnings before taxes in 2Q15, driven by its impact
on:
The net of the USD and other currencies denominated liabilities and the USD and
other currencies denominated assets (accounts receivable, cash etc) – which
amounted to a gain of US$ 521 million in 2Q15, recorded in the financial
statements as "Foreign exchange and monetary variation".
The forward and swaps derivatives that are used to reduce the volatility of our
cash flows in USD. In 2Q15, the changes in fair value and the settlements of the
currency swaps from the BRL and other currencies to the USD caused one-off
gains of US$ 243 million.
The BRL depreciation on a quarterly average had positive impacts on our cash flows. In 2Q15
most of our revenues were denominated in USD, while our COGS were 51% denominated in
BRL, 34% in USD and 13% in Canadian dollars (CAD) and about 75% of our capital
expenditures were denominated in BRL.
