Previous report
US$24.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 from US$4.6 million in the same period in 2025. This decrease was partially offset by other non-significant items.
Previous report
•Bank fees and others – Bank fees and others increased by US$142.3 million, or 205.0%, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to the loss on early extinguishment of debt of US$152.5 million related to the tender offer for the acquisition of certain PPC 6.250% Notes due 2033 and JBS 6.750% Senior Notes due 2034;
Previous report
•Fair value adjustments on derivatives – Fair value adjustments on derivatives decreased by US$96.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. This change was primarily driven by unrealized fair value losses on grain derivative positions used in our risk management activities. These fair value adjustments reflect changes in forward commodity prices during the period and are expected to be offset by the underlying physical grain purchases as they occur; and
Previous report
•Gains from exchange rate variation – Gains from exchange rate variation increased by US$77.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) favorable foreign exchange impacts on U.S. dollar-denominated financial liabilities of the Brazilian entities, resulting from the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, and (ii) the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar, which resulted in favorable foreign exchange impacts on intercompany balances.

Previous report
On August 5, 2022, JBS S.A. and its subsidiaries JBS Investments Luxembourg S.à r.l., Seara Meats B.V. and Seara Alimentos Ltda., as borrowers and guarantors, entered into a US$450.0 million revolving unsecured credit facility (the “JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility”). On December 19, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility, whereby JBS N.V. was included as an additional borrower and guarantor for all purposes under the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility and its ancillary documents.
Previous report
Any borrowing made by a borrower will be guaranteed by the other three obligors. The capacity of JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility could be increased up to US$500.0 million, with an accordion expansion feature, which was put into effect in November 2024, after obtaining lender commitments. The JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility initially matured in August 2025 and included two one-year extensions that were exercised at the borrowers’ option and duly accepted by all counterparties. Pursuant to the terms of the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility, the interest rate under any borrowings accrued at an adjusted secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus applicable margins that were based on the corporate rating of JBS S.A. As of June 30, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings under the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility.
Previous report
The JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility contained customary representations, covenants and events of default. The JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility contained negative covenants that restrict the borrowers and guarantors thereunder and significant restricted subsidiaries from creating liens on their property or assets to secure debt and entering into certain sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility restricted the borrowers’ and guarantors’ ability to merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their respective assets. These covenants were subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. We were in compliance with the covenants under the JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility, as of June 30, 2026. The JBS S.A. Revolving Credit Facility and all commitments thereunder were terminated effective on July 31, 2026.
Previous report

The 2021 JBS Senior Unsecured Revolving Facility provided for a revolving credit commitment in an amount up to US$1,500.0 million with maturity in 2027, with two one-year extension options at each lender’s discretion. As of June 30, 2026, we had outstanding letters of credit and available borrowings under the revolving credit commitment of US$0.2 million and US$1,499.8 million, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2026.
Previous report
From October 2022 through May 2024, JBS S.A. issued several series of non-convertible unsecured debentures through private placements in Brazil, with maturities ranging from 2027 until 2044. These debentures are denominated in Brazilian reais and bear interest at various rates. A larger part of these debentures have their principal amount adjusted according to the Brazilian inflation – IPCA (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo), with an annual average interest rate of 6.4% as of June 30, 2026, while the remaining part is indexed to the U.S. dollar plus an annual average interest rate of 5.8% as of June 30, 2026. These debentures underlie the securitization of agribusiness receivables in Brazil through the issuance of agribusiness receivables certificates (Certificados de Recebíveis do Agronegócio) (“CRAs”). The net proceeds from the issuances of these debentures have been used primarily to acquire cattle, natural products and other inputs necessary for the processing or industrialization of bovine cattle, including the slaughter, preparation of by-products, and the manufacturing of meat products from the primary slaughter process mentioned above, as well as the sale of the resulting products and by-products of such process, including exportation, intermediation, storage, and transportation of the products, by-products, and derivatives. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of these CRAs was US$1.1 billion.

Shipping and handling activities are performed before a customer obtains control of the goods and its obligation is fulfilled upon transfer of the goods to a customer. Shipping and handling costs are recorded within cost of sales. We can incur incremental costs to obtain or fulfill a contract, such as payment of commissions, which are not expected to be recovered. The amortization period for such expenses is less than one year; therefore, the costs are expensed as incurred and included in deductions from sales.

Any depreciation or appreciation of the foreign currency exchange rate compared to an entity´s functional currency may impact our revenues, costs and expenses incurred in such functional currency or currencies other than our reporting currency, causing a monetary increase or decrease, provided that the other variables remain unchanged.

Our principal raw materials are livestock and feed ingredients for our chicken, pork and fish operations. Raw materials accounted for a majority of the total cost of products sold during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025. Changes in the price of cattle, pork and feed ingredients have a direct impact on operating costs and are based on factors beyond our management’s control, such as climate, the supply volume, transportation costs, agricultural policies and others. We seek to hedge the price paid for cattle purchased through financial instruments in order to attempt to protect ourselves from price variations between their date of the purchase and their date of the delivery. Our risk management department is responsible for mapping the exposures to commodity prices of the JBS Group and proposing strategies to our risk management committee, in order to mitigate such exposures. Biological assets are a very important raw material used by us. In order to maintain future supply of these materials, we participate in forward contracts to anticipate purchases with suppliers. To complement these forward purchases, we use derivative instruments to mitigate each specific exposure, most notably futures contracts, to mitigate the impact of price fluctuations - on inventories and sales contracts. We take the historical average amount spent on materials as an indication of the operational value to be protected by firm contracts.
