Ongoing Military Operation in Ukraine and Related Sanctions

 

The ongoing military operation in Ukraine and the related sanctions targeted against the Russian Federation have disrupted international commerce and the global economy. The Group does not have any direct exposure to Ukraine, Russia or Belarus considering there are not any existing operations or sales in those locations.

 

Although the Group does not currently operate in Ukraine or Russia, the duration and severity of the effects on its business and the global economy are inherently unpredictable. Management will continue to monitor the effects of the war in Ukraine and its potential further impacts, including global supply chain disruptions, inflation, and rising interest rates, when making certain estimates and judgments relating to the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group.

 

Grupo Somar and Pearl Mexico Acquisition

 

Refer to the last annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“last annual financial statements”) for background information on the Acquisition of Grupo Somar and Pearl Mexico. Following the failure of the transaction to close on December 31, 2022, the Group provided the sellers a formal notice on January 1, 2023 terminating the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

Bridge Loan Credit Agreement

 

Following the Group’s termination of the SPA, the Group advised the joint arrangers and book runners on January 1, 2023 of its desire to terminate the transaction documents (including, without limitation, the commitments under the bridge credit agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, any commitments under the commitment letter) and pay all outstanding obligations, amounting to $5,719, under the bridge credit agreement and any other transaction document as of January 10, 2023.

 

Note 2. Basis of preparation and accounting

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group as of March 31, 2023 have been prepared on a going concern basis, and in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the last annual financial statements. They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Group’s Audit Committee on May 31, 2023.

 

Note 2.1. Going concern

 

Management identified the following events and conditions which cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern:

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Group was in breach of certain of the covenants included under the Note Purchase Agreement (“NPA”), the Syndicated Loan Agreement and the BTG Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 14. Borrowings and Note 20. Events after the reporting period for further details regarding the breach of each covenant. Although none of the lenders declared an event of default under the applicable agreements, these breaches resulted in the lenders having the right to require immediate repayment of the applicable indebtedness and as a result, the Group classified the respective indebtedness, amounting to $139,155 in the aggregate, to current liabilities as of December 31, 2022.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

(In thousands of United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

 

On March 28, March 31 and May 2, 2023 the Group obtained Waiver Agreements (“Waivers” or “Waiver”) from each lender under the NPA, the Syndicated Loan Agreement and the BTG Credit Agreement for the applicable covenant breaches. Under the terms of the Waivers, the lenders permanently waived their rights to accelerate the repayment of the loans related to the events of default as of December 31, 2022. In addition, the Group executed Waivers with the lenders to adjust the applicable covenant ratios for the periods ending March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2023, if applicable, as noted further within Note 14. Borrowings and Note 20. Events after the reporting period. For the period ending December 31, 2023, the applicable covenant ratios in the original borrowing arrangements are unmodified.

 

The Waiver for the Syndicated Loan Agreement was obtained subsequent to March 31, 2023, as noted above and within Note 20. Events after the reporting period. As a result, the outstanding balance of $18,898 remains classified as a current liability as of March 31, 2023.

 

Working capital

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Group had a net working capital surplus of $35,383 (working capital deficit of $70,931 as of December 31, 2022).

 

Management’s assessment

 

Management assessed the Group’s cash flow projections, ability to meet future covenants and other measures of liquidity for the next twelve months from the balance sheet date. Based on the Group’s cash flow projections and adjusted financial covenant ratios as a result of the Waivers, Management believes they will have sufficient funds to repay their obligations as they fall due and to meet its financial covenants in 2023. However, due to the uncertainty caused by current economic conditions, including rapid growth in inflation, increasing interest rates, global disruption to the supply chain, volatility in foreign exchange rates and industry price regulations, there is material uncertainty regarding the Group’s ability to meet its financial covenants. The Group’s failure to comply with such financial covenants would result in an event of default, which if that were to occur would materially and adversely affect the Group’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. In that event, the Group would seek additional waivers or alternative financing arrangements. As a result of these material uncertainties, Management concluded the above conditions and events raise significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management has implemented or is in the process of implementing the following plans to mitigate the effect of these events and conditions:

 

Cost saving and revenue growth

 

The Group has implemented certain measures with an aim to reduce its operating costs and generate additional revenue in 2023 including: 1) strict controlling and reducing business marketing and advertising expenses; 2) reducing headcount across multiple business units; and 3) focus on increasing sales volumes for core products and sell trademarks and sanitary records to generate additional revenue.

Renegotiation of existing loans

 

The Group is in the process of renegotiating the terms of the Syndicated Loan balance with Bancolombia and Davivienda, with the expectation of extending payment terms. In addition, the Group is in negotiations with BTG to restructure their short-term loan and negotiating their short term revolving credit facilities. Refer to Note 14. Borrowings for details regarding the carrying balance of loans that will be renegotiated as mentioned above. The Group has historically been successful in their negotiations with lenders to maintain and meet its liquidity needs and requirements. However, the Group’s ability to renegotiate with its lenders is not within the Group’s control. As of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Group cannot assure that it will be able to reach an agreement with its lenders, or to waive any potential non-compliance.

 

Additional measures

 

If the above actions do not generate sufficient liquidity for the Group to meet its contractual obligations, Management has identified additional measures which could be implemented to further reduce costs and increase total revenues in order to provide sufficient cash flow to meet obligations as they fall due including: 1) reduce discretionary spending on research and development, marketing and capital expenditures; 2) sell additional trademarks and sanitary records; and 3) further reduce headcount.

 

Summary

 

Management has evaluated the Group’s capital position, its ability to continue in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future and ability to meet its financial obligations for the next twelve months from the balance sheet date. While Management believes that their cost savings, revenue growth, and loan renegotiation will allow the group to be able to meet its financial obligations and finance its growth, there is no assurance that these plans can be successfully implemented to generate the liquidity required to meet the Group’s need. Failure to successfully implement these plans may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations and financial position, and may materially adversely affect its ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, Management concluded there is material uncertainty related to the events and conditions noted above that cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

However, Management believes that the Group will be successful in implementing the above plan and, accordingly, have prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements on a going concern basis. As a result, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3. Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Note 3.1. Change in accounting policy

 

The accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group’s last annual financial statements. The policy for recognizing and measuring income taxes in the interim periods is consistent with that applied in the previous interim period and is described in Note 9. Income tax.

Note 3.2. New and amended IFRS Standards that are effective for the current period

 

Certain new accounting standards, interpretations or amendments to accounting standards are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

The Group adopted the following accounting standard amendments from January 1, 2023. The evaluation performed by management determined that these amendments did not result in a significant impact in relation to the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) - Effective January 1, 2023

 

The amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements provide guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures.

 

The amendments had no impact on the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, but are expected to affect the accounting policy disclosures in the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements.

 

Definition of Accounting Estimate (Amendments to IAS 8) - Effective January 1, 2023

 

The amendments introduce a new definition for accounting estimates, clarifying that they are monetary amounts in the financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. The amendments also clarify the relationship between accounting policies and accounting estimates by specifying that a company develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective set out by an accounting policy. The distinction between the two is important because changes in accounting policies are applied retrospectively, whereas changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively.

 

The Group has determined the amendment has no significant impact in its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes - Effective January 1, 2023

 

The amendments to IAS 12 Income Tax narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences such as leases and decommissioning liabilities. The amendments had no impact on the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Note 4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities that are not readily observable in other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The significant judgements made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the Group’s last annual financial statements.

 

Note 5. Revenue

 

The Group recognizes its revenues from the transfer of goods and services to the fulfillment of its performance obligations. The Group’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 includes $781 (for the three months ended March 31, 2022: $1,302) in revenue recognized from intellectual property licensing and dossier generation.

1The decrease in currency exchange rate income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is mainly related to a decrease of 3% and 6%, respectively, in the Colombian Pesos/USD exchange rate for the period and the Group’s Colombian entities’ liability position towards USD.

 

Note 9. Income tax

 

Income tax recognized through profit or loss

 

Income tax expense is recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the profit before tax for the interim reporting period by management’s best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in full in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements may differ from management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the annual financial statements.

 

The Group’s consolidated income before tax for the three months ended March 31, 2023 amounts to $8,880 (for the three months ended March 31, 2022: $22,115). The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $2,259 (for the three months ended March 31, 2022: $5,669). The Group’s consolidated effective tax rate with respect to continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 25.44% (for the three months ended March 31, 2022: 25.64%) The change in the consolidated effective tax rate was mainly caused by the following factors: (i) Optimization of the use of tax credits, rate changed from 25% up to 30% in Colombia, (ii) tax rate reduction from 30% to 10% in El Salvador, and from 35% to 15% in Colombia resulting in profits from the sale of intangible assets.

 

The tax rate used for the three months ended March 31, 2023 represents the tax rate of 35% (for the three months ended March 31, 2022: 35%) on the taxable income payable by the most representative entities of the Group in Colombia, in accordance with the tax laws of said jurisdiction. Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdiction.

For purposes of clarity, the reclassification of obligations as financial lease obligations by application of the Accounting Standards will not consume the balance set forth herein and may not be renewed.
The payment of dividends is restricted to anyone other than the jointly obligated parties.

6. Notes

 

On November 12, 2021, the Group closed the private placement offering of $115 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% guaranteed senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) issued by Procaps, S.A., a subsidiary of the Group, due November 12, 2031, pursuant to the NPA entered into on November 5, 2021 with The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Prudential Annuities Life Assurance Corporation, Healthspring Life & Health Insurance Company, Inc. and Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company Inc.

 

The Senior Notes are a senior unsecured obligations of Procaps, S.A. and unconditionally guaranteed by Procaps Group, S.A. and the following subsidiaries of the Group: C.I. Procaps, S.A., Diabetrics Healthcare S.A.S., Pharmayect S.A., Procaps, S.A. de C.V., Biokemical, S.A. de C.V., Colbras Indústria e Comércio Ltda., and Sofgen Pharmaceuticals LLC.

 

Debt issuance costs related to the Senior Notes of $2,142, comprised of commissions payable to the initial purchasers of $1,390 and attorneys’ costs of $752, were allocated to the liability of the Notes based on their relative values. Issuance incremental costs are part of the effective rate and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term.

 

As mentioned in Note 1. General Company Information, the Notes Payoff did not occur on or prior to November 30, 2022, therefore triggering the 3.75% per annum waiver fee on the outstanding principal amount of Senior Notes, raising the interest rate from 4.75% to 8.50%. As a result, the Group has treated the rate increase as a debt extinguishment, derecognised a liability in the amount of $113,400, expensed $1,600 in unamortized transaction costs, and recognized a new liability in the amount of $115,000 as of December 31, 2022.

 

The Senior Notes require Procaps, S.A., the Group and the following subsidiaries of the Group: C.I. Procaps, S.A., Diabetrics Healthcare S.A.S., Pharmayect S.A., Procaps, S.A. de C.V., Biokemical, S.A. de C.V., Colbras Indústria e Comércio Ltda., and Sofgen Pharmaceuticals LLC. to comply with the following financial ratios:

 

The consolidated total debt of Procaps, S.A., the Group and the other obligors thereunder to consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months of 3.50:1.00 or less (Indebtedness Indicator), measured at certain dates of determination and;

 

An EBITDA interest coverage ratio (calculated as the consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months of Procaps, S.A. and the other obligors thereunder divided by the consolidated interest expenses of Procaps, S.A. and the other obligors thereunder) in excess of, or equal to, 3.00:1.00, calculated at certain dates of determination.
   
Short-term leverage ratio equal to or less than 1.00

 

Complying with the Note Purchase Agreement protocols and as a result of the more favorable provisions of the Syndicated Loan Agreement, the Group gave notice on April 7, 2022 that specific provisions related to reporting covenants, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, events of default, and mandatory prepayment events, as set forth in the Syndicated Loan Agreement, shall apply to the Senior Notes.

 

As mentioned in Note 2.1. Going concern, as of December 31, 2022, the Group was not in compliance with the financial covenants related to the Senior Notes. As a result, the $115,000 unpaid principal balance previously classified as a non-current borrowings, was reclassified to current borrowings within the Group’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2022.

 

On March 31, 2023 the Group obtained a Waiver for the NPA covenant breaches described above. Under the terms of the Waiver, the noteholders agreed to waive the event of default as of December 31, 2022. As a result, the unpaid principal balance is classified as non-current borrowings as of March 31, 2023 In addition, the Group negotiated an additional Waiver to adjust the covenant ratios as noted below:

Short-term leverage ratio equal to or less than 2.00:1:00 (original covenant: equal to or less than 1.00:1.00).

Note 18. Financial instruments

 

18.1 Accounting classification and fair value

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When measuring fair value, the Group uses observable market data whenever possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

 

Level 1: inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2: inputs are observable either directly (e.g. as prices) or indirectly (e.g. derived from prices).
   
Level 3: fair value measurements incorporate significant inputs that are based on unobservable market data.

 

The following table shows the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities. The amortized cost basis of the financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value approximates their fair value.

18.2 Measurement of fair values

 

The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 3 fair values for financial instruments in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

 

Type  Fair value   Valuation Technique  Significant unobservable input  Relationship between significant unobservable input to fair value  Sensitivity of significant unobservable input to fair value 
                  +5%    -5% 
Private warrants  $150   The fair value of the Private Warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula for European calls, since the underlying stock is not expected to pay dividends over the term of the Warrants.  Volatility of 38.3% (2022: 36.6%)  The higher (lower) the volatility, the higher (lower) the fair value.  $220   $95 
Private warrants in escrow   1,021   The fair value of the Private Warrants in escrow is estimated using Monte Carlo simulation in a risk-neutral framework assuming a Geometric Brownian Motion for the future stock price.  Volatility of 41.0% (2022: 37.5%)  The higher (lower) the volatility, the higher (lower) the fair value.   1,495    661 
Shares held in escrow   32,859   The fair value of the shares to be delivered  is estimated using Monte Carlo simulation in a risk-neutral framework assuming a Geometric Brownian Motion for the future stock price.  Volatility of 40.5% (2022: 36.5%)  The higher (lower) the volatility, the higher (lower) the fair value.   33,191    32,447 

 

18.3 Financial risk management

 

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

 

Credit risk

18.3.1. Credit risk

 

Exposure to credit risk

 

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure of the Group. The carrying amount is presented net of impairment losses. None of the receivable balances as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 constitutes a significant concentration of credit risk. There are no other single customers representing more than 10% of total gross trade receivables as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

Expected credit losses

 

The average credit period on the sale of medicines is 60 to 120 days. In some cases, depending on market conditions and strategy, longer payment periods are granted. No interest surcharge is made on commercial accounts receivable.

 

The Group has recognized a provision for doubtful accounts. The Group evaluates the impairment of its accounts receivable for the expected credit loss model, where it determines its value based on the probability of default, the loss due to default (i.e., the extent of the loss in case of default) and the exposure, by the application of the ‘simplified method’ for trade receivables without a significant financing component. The assessment of the probability of default and the loss due to default is mainly based on historical data and adjust historical loss rates to reflect information about current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

 

Net Revenues

 

Net revenues totaled $84.2 million in 1Q23, compared to net revenues of $85.6 million for 1Q22, a decrease of 1.7% year-over-year. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased 10.5% from 1Q22 to 1Q23, in line with previous preliminary results.

 

The slight decrease is mainly driven by the impact of the devaluation of some local currencies, particularly in Colombia of approximately $10.5 million, as well as increased prices in raw materials, supplier delivery delays which have led to backorders and a decrease in sales of the anesthetic’s portfolio.

 

Net revenue by strategic business segment is shown below:

*Constant currency basis

 

Central America North (CAN)

 

Net revenues for the CAN business segment were $9.6 million in 1Q23, a decrease of 15.1% versus 1Q22, impacted mainly by a decrease in the OTC VitalCare in El Salvador. We reinforced our sales force in El Salvador, focusing on opening new distributors for the OTC market. On a constant currency basis, net revenues decreased 14.4% in the period.

 

The RX Clinical Specialties portfolio grew approximately 27% in 1Q23.

 

Central America South and Andean Region (CASAND)

 

Net revenues for the CASAND business segment totaled $ 16.0 million in 1Q23, an increase of 27.5% when compared to 1Q22, mainly due to the positive performance of new products launched in the regionand sales increase in the existing product portfolio. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by 30.2% in the quarter.

 

RX Farma portfolio grew 24%, RX Clinical Specialties grew 23%. OTC portfolio grew 24%.

Diabetrics

 

Diabetrics net revenues totaled $4.1 million, a decrease of 11.9% when compared with 1Q22, mainly impacted by currency devaluation of approximately $0.8 million.

 

On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by 6.3%.

 

We have launched in El Salvador and Ecuador, and we recently received approval in Mexico to launch diabetrics products, which we expect to launch in 2023.

 

Nextgel

 

Net revenues for the Nextgel business segment were $25.0 million in 1Q23, a slight decrease of 1.5% versus 1Q22, impacted mainly by currency devaluation of approximately $2.8 million. On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by 9.6%.

 

The constant currency quarter increase is mainly due to: (i) an increase in product development services with the commencement of operations of the West Palm Beach facility and the sales of certain product registrations, (ii) the increase in sales of gummy products, (iii) an increase of sales from products with current partners, offset by the change of manufacturing site of dronabinol, the ongoing bioequivalence test for progesterone, and order phasing from some of our US clients that will have a positive effect in the second half of the year.

 

Procaps Colombia

 

Net revenues for the Procaps Colombia segment totaled $29.6 million in 1Q23, a decrease of 7.2% versus 1Q22, impacted by the currency devaluation of approximately $6.4 million, and the slower pace of sales of the most relevant Clinical Specialties products for the ICU, due to higher than usual inventory cycles in the distributors resulting from less severe hospitalizations from Covid.

 

On a constant currency basis, net revenues increased by 12.8% from 2021 to 2022 due to the positive performance of RX Farma Procaps and OTC VitalCare business units, offset by the decrease in sales of the Clinical Specialties portfolio.

 

The RX Farma Procaps grew approximately 25% in sales in 1Q23 and the OTC VitalCare business unit grew approximately 23% in sales, primarily due to the demand increase of its leading brands in the market as well as the positive roll out of new products.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit decreased 2.3%, to $46.1 million in 1Q23, compared to $47.1 million in 1Q22. On a constant currency basis, gross profit increased by 10.7%.

Total Operational Expenses   (38.8)   46.1%   (39.6)   46.2%   -1.9%

Administrative expenses totaled $22.1 million in 1Q23, a decrease of 9.9% versus 1Q22, mainly driven by the execution of the Value Creation Initiatives implemented from February 2023 onwards.

 

Other expenses are related mainly to the impact of exchange rate differences and the non-recurring severance payment related to the Value Creation Initiatives.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

Our management uses and discloses certain metrics on a constant currency basis, which are non-IFRS financial information to assess our operating performance across periods and for business planning purposes. We believe the presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. These non-IFRS measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and should be viewed as supplemental and in addition to our financial information presented in accordance with IFRS.

 

Use of Constant Currency

 

As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe the presentation of certain financial metrics and results on a constant currency basis in addition to the IFRS reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information is non-IFRS financial information that compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. We use results on a constant currency basis as one measure to evaluate our performance. We currently present net revenue on a constant currency basis. We calculate constant currency by calculating three month-end period for the three months ended March 31, 2023 using prior-period (three months ended March 31, 2022) foreign currency exchange rates. The functional foreign currencies for the primary regional markets where we operate, such as the Colombian Peso and the Brazilian Real, were adjusted on a constant currency basis at the exchange rates of COP $3,913.49 per U.S. $1.00 and R$5.22990 per U.S. $1.00, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We generally refer to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign exchange. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with IFRS. Results on a constant currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with IFRS.
