For international sales the Group recognizes the revenue for goods at a point in time, according to the agreed Incoterms (International Commercial Terms).
MIL Energia Renovável generates electricity with its biomass power plant in the Amazon region of Brazil. Until October 2023, it also produced CERs (Certified Emission Reductions). The electricity produced is fed into the regional state electricity grid and measured on a monthly basis. The revenue is recognized at that point in time. Payment of the transaction is due within 30 days by the grid owner. The CERs were purchased by Precious Woods Holding. The produced CERs are recognized as inventory and valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value as long as the certification is not yet achieved, and sold afterwards.
