Reclassifications Made and Reconciliations to the IFRS Accounting Principles
In the comments of operating results provided below, some of the operating and financial data provided in this press release are based on accounting principles that differ in some respects from the IFRS principles, mainly in terms of measurement and presentation. More specifically: 1 Revenues are shown net of the value of raw materials to eliminate the impact of fluctuations in raw material prices. 2 When valuing the ending inventory of the Copper and Copper-Alloy Semifinished Product Sector, the portion representing the structural inventory (i.e., the portion of the inventory that was not set aside to fill customer orders) was valued by the LIFO method. The portion of inventory set aside for customer orders was valued based on the value of the corresponding orders, which is deemed to be the realizable value. Under the IFRS method, the inventory is valued at the lower of the cost computed by the FIFO method or net realizable value. The IFRS principles also require that inventory buy and sell commitments and the corresponding hedges executed on the LME be disclosed separately and shown in the financial statements as financial instruments measured at fair value. The IFRS, by not allowing the measurement of the Sector's ending inventory by the LIFO method, which is the method used for internal management controlling activities, introduced an exogenous economic component the variability of which makes it impossible to compare homogeneous data for different periods and does not allow an accurate presentation of the actual results from operations. 3 Extraordinary items are shown below the EBITDA line. The table that follows shows the impact on the 2010 data of the different measurement and presentation criteria used.
