Report of independent registered public accounting firm

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Vale S.A.

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

 

Results of review of interim financial information

 

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Vale S.A. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of June 30, 2018, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the related condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six-month periods ended on June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with IAS 34 — Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27, 2018, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

 

Basis for review results

 

This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Selected Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

Expressed in millions of United States dollar, unless otherwise stated

 

1.                            Corporate information

 

Vale S.A. (the “Parent Company”) is a public company headquartered in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with securities traded on the stock exchanges of São Paulo — B3 S.A. (Vale3), New York - NYSE (VALE), Paris - NYSE Euronext (Vale3) and Madrid — LATIBEX (XVALO).

 

Vale S.A. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“Vale” or “Company”) are global producers of iron ore and iron ore pellets, key raw materials for steelmaking, and producers of nickel, which is used to produce stainless steel and metal alloys employed in the production of several products. The Company also produces copper, metallurgical and thermal coal, manganese ore, ferroalloys, platinum group metals, gold, silver and cobalt. The information by segment is presented in note 3.

 

2.                            Basis for preparation of the interim financial statements

 

a)        Statement of compliance

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company (“interim financial statements”) have been prepared and are being presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

b)        Basis of presentation

 

The interim financial statements have been prepared to update users about relevant events and transactions occurred in the period and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The accounting policies, accounting estimates and judgments, risk management and measurement methods are the same as those applied when preparing the last annual financial statements, except for new accounting policies related to the application of IFRS 9 — Financial instrument and IFRS 15 — Revenue from contracts with customers, which are adopted by the Company from January 1, 2018. The accounting policy for recognizing and measuring income taxes in the interim period is described in note 7.

 

The interim financial statements of the Company and its associates and joint ventures are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”), which in the case of the Parent Company is the Brazilian real (“R$”). For presentation purposes, these interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US$”) as the Company believes that this is the relevant currency used by international investors.

3. Information by business segment and by geographic area

 

The information presented to the Executive Board on the performance of each segment is derived from the accounting records, adjusted for reclassifications between segments.

 

a)        Adjusted EBITDA

 

Management uses adjusted EBITDA to assess each segment’s contribution to the Company’s performance and to support the decision making process.  Adjusted EBITDA is calculated for each segment using operating income or loss plus dividends received and interest from associates and joint ventures, and adding back the amounts charged as (i) depreciation, depletion and amortization and (ii) special events (additional information can be found in note 4).

 

In 2018, the Company has allocated general and corporate expenses to “Others” as these expenses are not directly related to the performance of each business segment. Therefore, “Others” includes unallocated corporate expenses. The comparative period was restated in order to reflect this change in the criteria for allocation.
