| NET REVENUE FROM SALES |
Net sales revenue is comprised as follows:
Accounting Policy The Company's revenue is recognized as soon as all the conditions below are met:
The Company's operating revenues are generated through the production and sale of steel, mining, and cement products, railway and port logistics services, and energy sales. In the normal course of activities, it is measured by the fair value of the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for the delivery of the promised good or service to the customer.
Revenue recognition occurs when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the good or service to the customer, with a performance obligation understood as an executable promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a good/service or a series of goods or services.
If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction in operating revenue as sales are recognized.
The Company recognizes iron ore sales revenue when product control is transferred to customers, which in most cases occurs when the product is loaded onto the vessel or vehicle for transport, at the destination port or customer facilities. There may be circumstances where judgment is required based on the control indicators highlighted above. In export sales made under the CFR (Cost and Freight) and CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) shipping terms, the customer has a current obligation to pay according to the sales contract terms, typically when the ship is loaded. At this point, the payment obligation covers both the product and freight, and in certain cases, insurance after the date when control of the goods transfers to the customer at the loading port.
The operating revenue from the sale of goods and services in the normal course of activities is measured by the fair value of the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for delivering the promised good or service to the customer. Iron ore sales contracts are provisionally fixed at prices at the time revenues are recognized and a provisional invoice is issued as stipulated in the contract the selling price of these products can be reliably measured each period, as the price is quoted in an active market. Therefore, the fair value of the final sales price adjustment is continuously reassessed and variations in fair value are recognized as sales revenue in the income statement. |
