Other matters

The individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the period ended from January 21, 2019 to December 31, 2019 and for the Company and for the period ended December 31, 2019 for the Consolidated, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management, and presented herein as supplementary information for IFRS purposes, have been subject to audit procedures jointly performed with the audit of the Company's financial statements. In order to form our opinion, we assessed whether those statements are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and whether their format and contents are in accordance with criteria determined in the Technical Pronouncement 09 (CPC 09)

  • Statement of Value Added issued by the Committee for Accounting Pronouncements (CPC). In our opinion, the statements of value added have been fairly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria determined by the aforementioned Technical Pronouncement, and are consistent with the overall individual and consolidated financial statements.

Other information accompanying the individual and consolidated financial statements and the auditor's report

Management is responsible for the other information comprising the management report.

Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the individual and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with Accounting Practices Adopted in Brazil and with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the individual and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's and subsidiaries financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is

higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and its subsidiaries internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and its subsidiaries ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

established a Special Independent Committee to negotiate the share exchange rate in accordance with CVM Guideline Report 35/2008.

2. MANAGEMENT STATEMENT AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The individual and consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board" ("IASB"), and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), introduced in Brazil through the Accounting Pronouncements Committee of Brazil ("CPC") and its interpretations ("ICPC") and technical guidelines ("OCPC"), approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil ("CVM").

The Company's individual and consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of Brazilian reais ("R$"), and the amounts expressed in other currencies, whenever necessary, are also disclosed in thousands. The items disclosed in other currencies are duly identified, whenever applicable.

Management confirms that all relevant information in the financial statements, and only them, are being disclosed, and they correspond to those used in the development of its business management activities.

  1. Basis of presentation of Company's consolidated financial statements before the corporate restructuring
    (Note 1a)

Business combinations between companies under common control have not yet been specifically addressed by accounting practices adopted in Brazil ("CPCs") and the international financial reporting standards ("IFRS"). Therefore, in accordance with paragraph 11 of IAS 8/CPC 23 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, Management considered the requirements and Pronouncements, Interpretations and Guidelines that address similar and related matters.

IFRS 3 / CPC 15(R1) - Business Combination is the pronouncement addressing business combinations, it clearly excludes from its scope the business combinations between entities under common control and, therefore, cannot be applied in this case.

As an alternative, complying with paragraphs 10 and 11 of IAS 8/CPC 23, where there is a lack of guidelines of the Conceptual Structure for Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements, the Management may also consider the most recent technical positions assumed by other accounting regulation agencies using a conceptual structure similar to that of the CPC to develop accounting pronouncements, or, other accounting literature and practices generally accepted in the industry, to the extent that they do not show conflict with the sources provided for in paragraph 11 of IAS 8 / CPC 23.

The predecessor basis of accounting is an accounting alternative and is in line with the accounting practices of other countries, such as the accounting practices generally accepted in the United States and United Kingdom ("USGAAP" and "UKGAAP", respectively), which allow the use of this practice in corporate restructuring and other operations between entities under common control. Therefore, Management elected the predecessor method the accounting practice that best represents the operation and provides the investor with the most significant information.

The adoption of the predecessor basis of accounting, as well as its application in a retroactive manner , represents a change in accounting practice as provided for in paragraph 29 of IAS 8/CPC 23. As such, these effects are being presented for all comparative periods.

On December 31, 2019, the Company holds 100% of Natura shares and, therefore, for comparison purposes, the amounts presented in the year ended December 31, 2018 refer to Natura.

The Company's financial statements, with the adoption of the predecessor basis of accounting, were prepared to reflect:

  • the historical results of operations and financial position of Natura Cosméticos and the Company, in a combined basis;
  • the effects from initial merger of Natura by the Company, which represent its accounting information for the investment in Natura Cosméticos; and
  • thenon-controlling interest in the Company, which was determined based on the proportional interest in identifiable equity and net income.

The individual financial statements include entries to reflect the equity in the investee Natura while the Consolidated financial statements were prepared considering that Natura was controlled by the Company since January 1, 2019.

16

b) Basis of presentation of the individual financial statements of the Controller at December 31, 2019

The Company, which individually is the parent company of Natura, has limited transactions since its establishment, and its main transactions include the corporate restructuring referred to in Note 1. Accordingly, its main result originates from recognizing equity in the earnings (losses) of Natura. The predecessor basis of accounting does not apply to individual financial statements, therefore, to comply with the regulatory requirements imposed to the individual Company ("Parent Company"), its accounting presentation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 is shown in the Notes below.

  1. The acts for the Company formation acts resulted in a Share Capital of R$ 1,485,435 and a statutory reserve, called special reserve, of R$ 206,592. Considering that capital contributed by the controlling shareholders was measured based on the Natura's equity on November 13, 2019, and later, by the other shareholders, on December 17, 2019, the mathematical calculation showed a difference of R$ 236,476 to adjustment the Capital in December 31, 2019, reflected in the corresponding large social groups on December 31, 2019.
  2. The balance of other comprehensive income reflects Natura figures, since there are recyclable items for the statement of income in the future, when applicable. The remaining AdditionalPaid-in Capital reserve, Legal Profit reserve, Tax Incentives and Proposed Additional Dividend are not applicable in the Company, so they were adjusted and added to the initial capital contribution balance. The adjustment of R $ 1,011,819 recorded in the "Surplus on issue/sale of shares" corresponds to the mathematical calculation to reflect this movement.
  3. Retained earnings and profit reserve - retention, reflect the Company operation during the period.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

The main accounting practices applied in the preparation of these financial statements are defined below. These practices have been applied consistently in all the years presented with the exception of the accounting practices presented in note 3.29, which were adopted as from the year started on January 1, 2019.

3.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and accounting practices adopted in Brazil which include those established in the Brazilian Corporate Law as well as the Pronouncements, Instructions and Interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

17

All relevant information specific to these financial statements, and only such information, is presented, which corresponds to that used by Management in its administration of Natura &Co.

3.2 Foreign currency conversion Functional currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company and each of its the subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the main economic environment in which the companies operate ("functional currency").

3.2.1 Transactions and balances using currency that differ from the functional currency

Foreign-denominated transactions are translated into the Company' functional currency - Brazilian reais (R$) - at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on the settlement of such transactions and the translation of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recognized in profit or loss, in line items "Financial income" and "Financial expenses".

The financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais (R$), which corresponds to the Company's presentation currency.

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the statements of income and of cash flows and all changes in assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the local currency in the respective countries where they operate, are converted into Brazilian real at the average monthly exchange rate nearest to the effective exchange rate on the date of the corresponding transactions. The balance sheet is translated into Brazilian real at the exchange rates at the reporting date. This translation calculation is different for Natura Cosméticos S.A. - Argentina, which became a hyperinflationary economy as of July 1, 2018 (Note 3.2.1.a) in which the balance sheet is converted into Brazilian real at the exchange rates at the date of the year reporting period.

The effects from variations in the exchange rate arising from these conversions are stated under "Other comprehensive income" in the statements of comprehensive income and in shareholders' equity.

a) Hyperinflationary economy

Starting from July 2018, Argentina has been considered a hyperinflationary economy and as per CPC 42 - Contabilidade e Evidenciação em Economia Altamente Inflacionária (IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies), the non-monetary assets and liabilities, equity items and the statement of income of the subsidiary Natura Cosmetics S.A. - Argentina ("Natura Argentina"), whose functional currency is the Argentinean peso, are being adjusted so that the figures are reported in the monetary measurement unit at the end of the reporting period, which considers the effects measured by the Consumer Price Index ("IPC") in Argentina starting January 1, 2017 and Argentina's Domestic Retail Price Index ("IPIM") up to December 31, 2016. Consequently, as required by CPC 42 / IAS 29, the operating results of the subsidiary Natura Argentina must be disclosed as highly inflationary starting from July 1, 2018 (start of the period in which a hyperinflationary scenario was identified).

Non-monetary assets and liabilities booked at historical cost and equity items of Natura Argentina were adjusted for inflation based on the aforementioned indices. The effects of hyperinflation resulting from changes in the overall purchasing power (i) were presented in equity up to December 31, 2017; and (ii) are presented in the statement of income starting January 1, 2018. The statement of income is adjusted at the end of each reporting period based on the variation in the general price index.

The net effect of inflation adjustment in 2019 on (i) non-monetary assets and liabilities; (ii) items in shareholders' equity; and (iii) statement of income was presented in a specific account for hyperinflation in the financial result (see note 28).

To convert the accounting balances of the subsidiary Natura Argentina, to the reporting currency (Brazilian real - R$) used in the individual and consolidated financial statements of the Company, the following procedures required by CPC 02(R2) - Efeitos das mudanças nas taxas de câmbio e conversão de demonstrações contábeis (IAS

21 - The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates) were adopted:

  • the amounts related to assets, liabilities and equity items were converted at the exchange rate on the reporting date (0.06732 Argentinean peso for each Brazilian real in December 2019); and

18

  • revenues and expenses in the year were converted at the exchange rate on the reporting date (0.06732 Argentinean peso for each Brazilian real in December 2019), instead of the average exchange rate of the period, which is used to convert currencies innon-hyperinflationary economies.

Cumulative inflation, as measured by the IPC index, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 was 54.5% (47.99% at December 31, 2018).

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the application of CPC 42 / IAS 29 resulted in: (i) a negative impact on the financial result of R$13,947 (R$25,066 at December 31, 2018); and (ii) a negative impact on net income for the year of R$68,940 (R$64,271 at December 31, 2018).

The conversion of statement of income at the exchange rate on the reporting date, instead of average monthly exchange rate of the year, resulted in a positive impact on other comprehensive income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 of R$17,666 (R$19,074 on December 31, 2018).

3.3 Consolidation

a) Investments in subsidiaries

The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, the variable returns arising from its involvement with the entity and when it has the power to affect these returns by exerting its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements as from the date on which the Company obtained control until the date of loss of control. The Company holds interests only in subsidiaries.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared as of the same reporting date of the Company. Adjustments are made, if necessary, to conform their accounting practices to those adopted by the Company.

Under the equity method of accounting, the share attributable to the Company of the profit or loss for the period of such investments is accounted for in the statement of income, in line item "Equity in subsidiaries". All intragroup balances, revenues, expenses and unrealized gains and losses arising from intragroup transactions are completely eliminated. The other comprehensive income of subsidiaries is recorded directly in the Company's shareholders' equity, in line item "Other comprehensive income".

  1. Business combinations

Business combinations with unrelated third parties are accounted for by applying the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Company. The consideration transferred is in general measured at fair value, as well as the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill arising from the transaction is tested annually for impairment. Gains from a bargain purchase are recognized immediately in profit or loss. Acquisition-related costs are recorded in profit or loss as incurred, except for costs related to the issue of debt or equity instruments.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the payment of pre-existing relationships. These amounts generally are recognized in profit or loss for the year.

In a business combination involving entities or business under common control, in which all of the combining entities or business are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory, the Company applies the predecessor accounting method (Note 2a).

c) Ownership interest of non-controlling shareholders

The Company opted to measure any ownership interest of non-controlling shareholders initially by the proportionate interest held in the identifiable net assets of the acquired entity on the acquisition date.

22

Changes in the Company's interest in a subsidiary that do not result in loss of control are recorded as transactions under shareholders' equity.

3.4 Financial Instruments

The Company adopted CPC 48 / IFRS 9 - Financial Statements in replacement to IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement on January 1, 2018. The changes made in the Company's accounting policies are described below, as well as their impacts on the financial statements.

3.4.1 Classification of financial assets

CPC 48 / IFRS 9 contains an approach to classify and measure financial assets with the three main classification categories: measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") and at fair value through profit or loss ("FVPL"). The standard eliminates the following existing categories under IAS 39: held to maturity, held for trading, borrowings and receivables, and available for sale.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset and Company's business model for the management of these financial assets. Except for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or to which the Company has been applied the practical expedient, the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs, in the case of financial asset not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets the following conditions and is not designated for measurement at fair value through profit or loss:

  • is maintained within a business model whose objective is to keep financial assets to receive contractual cash flows; and
  • its contractual terms generate, on specific dates, cash flows that are relative only to the payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets the following condition and is not designated for measurement at fair value through profit or loss:

  • its contractual terms generate, on specific dates, cash flows that are not only the payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

All financial assets not classified as measured at their amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

Assessment of the business model

The Company evaluates the objective of the business model in which the financial asset is maintained in the portfolio, because it reflects the best way in which the business is managed, and information is provided to the Management. The information considered includes:

  • the policies and objectives determined for the portfolio and how these policies actually work. These include the issue of knowing whether Management strategy focuses on obtaining contractual interest income, maintaining a certain interest rate profile, the correspondence between the duration of financial assets and the duration of the corresponding liabilities or expected cash disbursements, or realizations of the cash flows through the sale of assets;
  • how the performance of the portfolio is assessed and reported to the Management of the Company;
  • the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial asset maintained in that business model) and how those risks are managed;
  • how business managers are remunerated - for example, if the remuneration is based on the fair value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows obtained; and
  • the frequency, volume and time of sale of financial assets in previous years, the reasons for such sale and their expectations of future sales.

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not deemed sales, consistent with the continuous recognition of the Company's assets.

Financial assets held for trading or managed with performance assessed based on their fair value are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

23

Assessment of whether contractual cash flows are only payments of principal and interest

To assess contractual cash flows, the "principal" is defined as the fair value of the financial asset upon initial recognition. "Interest" is defined as consideration for the value of money in time and for the credit risk associated with the principal outstanding over a certain period of time and for other risks and basic costs of loans (for example, liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as profit margin.

The Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument to assess whether the contractual cash flows are only payments of principal and interest. This includes an assessment of whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the moment or amount of contractual cash flows in such a way that it would not meet this condition. When conducting such assessment, the Company takes into account:

  • contingent events that change the amount or timing of the cash flows;
  • terms that could adjust the contractual rate, including variable rates;
  • the prepayment and extension of terms; and
  • terms that limit the access of the Company to cash flows from specific assets (for example, based on the performance of an asset).

The purchases or sales of financial assets requiring the delivery of assets within certain period established by regulation or market convention (regular negotiations) are recognized on the negotiation date, that is, the date in which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

  1. Subsequent measurement

For the purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into four categories:

  • Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instrument);
  • Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income with reclassification of accumulated gains and losses (debt instruments);
  • Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, without reclassification of accumulated gains and losses upon their derecognition (equity instruments); and
  • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment loss. Gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is written off, modified or presents impairment loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (debt instruments)

For debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, the interest revenue, exchange revaluation and losses or reversals of impairment loss are recognized in the statement of income and calculated at the same manner for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The remaining changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income, upon the derecognition, the accrued fair value change recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (financial instruments)

Upon initial recognition, the Company may opt irrevocably to classify its equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income when they meet the definition of equity under CPC 39 - Financial instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined by considering each instrument specifically. Gains and losses on these financial assets are never classified to profit or loss Dividends are recognized with other revenues in the statement of income when the right to the payment is established, except when the Company benefits from these payments as recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, if these gains are registered in other comprehensive income. Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are not subject to impairment test.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the statement of financial position through fair value, with net variations of fair value recognized in the statement of income. This category includes derivative instruments and listed equity investments, which the Company has not classified irrevocably at fair value through

24

other comprehensive income. Dividends on listed equity investments are recognized as other revenue in the statement of income when the right to the payment is established.

  1. Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set off recognized amounts and the intent to either settle them on a net basis, or to recognize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  1. Derecognition(write-off) of financial instruments

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; the Company transfers its rights or risk to receive cash flows of the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the full amount of received cash flows, without significant delay to a third party under an on lending agreement, and (i) the Company transfers substantially all risks and benefits of the asset, or (ii) the Company neither transferred nor retained substantially all risks and benefits of the asset, but transferred the control of asset.

When the Company transfer its rights to receive cash flows of an asset or execute an on-lending agreement, it evaluates if, and at which extent, it retained the risks and benefits of ownership. When the Company neither transfers or retains substantially all risks and benefits of the asset, nor transferred the control over the asset, the Company continues to recognize the asset transferred to the extent of its continued involvement. In this case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The asset transferred is measured at the lowest between: (i) the value of the asset; and (ii) the maximum amount of consideration received that the entity may be obliged to refund (guarantee amount).

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation is withdrawn, canceled or expires.

3.4.2 Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments transactions contracted by the Group consist of swaps and non-deliverable forwards (NDF's) intended exclusively to hedge against the foreign exchange risks related to balance sheet positions, acquisitions of inputs and property, plant and equipment, projected exports and projected foreign-denominated cash outflows for capital increases in foreign subsidiaries.

They are measured at fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized through profit or loss, except when they are designated as cash flow hedges, to which changes in fair value are recorded in "Other comprehensive income" within shareholders' equity.

The fair value of derivative instruments is measured by the treasury departments of the Group based on information on each contracted transaction and related market inputs at the end of the reporting period, such as interest rates and exchange coupon.

Hedge accounting

After Management's evaluation, the Company concluded that all existing hedge relationships are currently designated in effective hedge relationships and still qualify for hedge accounting under CPC 48 / IFRS 9, because the new standard did not change the general principles of how an entity accounts for effective hedges.

When an entity applies CPC 48 / IFRS 9 for the first time, it can determine whether its accounting policy will continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements of CPC 38 / IAS 39 instead of the requirements of chapter 6 of CPC 48 / IFRS 9.

Given the results of the analyses and the decision to not adopt CPC 48 / IFRS 9 specifically for hedge accounting, the Company maintains its current accounting practices based on CPC 38 / IAS 39, as mentioned in Note 3.4 above, being affected only by the new disclosure requirements starting January 1, 2018, as presented in Note 5.2.

Cash Flow hedge

Consists in providing hedge against variation in cash flows attributable to a specific risk related to a known asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and that may affect profit or loss.

The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivative instruments that is designated and qualified as cash flow hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in "Gain (loss) from cash flow hedge operations" and "tax effect on gain (loss) from cash flow hedge operations." In a "cash flow hedge", the effective portion of gain or loss from the hedge instrument is recognized directly in equity in other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion of hedge is immediately recognized in financial income (expenses).

25

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company used derivative financial instruments, applying "cash flow hedge accounting" and, as disclosed in Note 5.2, for hedge against the risk of change in exchange rates related to loans in foreign currency and purchase and sale transactions in foreign currency and intercompany loan operations that: (i) are highly related to the changes in the market value of the hedged item, both at the beginning as well as during contract term (effectiveness between 80% and 125%); (ii) have documentation of the operation, hedged risk, risk management process and methodology used in assessing effectiveness; and (iii) are considered effective to reduce the risk related to the exposure to be hedged. It allows the application of the hedge accounting methodology, with effect from measurement of their fair value on shareholders' equity and from their realization on profit or loss in the heading related to the hedged item.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Company cancels the hedge relationship, the hedge instrument matures or is sold, revoked or executed, or no longer qualifies to hedge accounting. Any gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in shareholders' equity as of a certain date remain in equity and are recognized when the forecast transaction is eventually recognized in profit or loss.

If a planned transaction results in the subsequent recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, the cumulative gain or loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss during the same year for which the non- financial asset acquired or non-financial liability assumed affects the profit or loss. For example, when the non- financial asset is depreciated or sold.

Conversely, if a planned transaction results in the subsequent recognition of a financial asset or liability, the cumulative gain or loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss during the same period for which the financial asset acquired or financial liability assumed affects the profit or loss. For example, when financial income or expense is recognized.

When the forecast transaction is no longer expected, cumulative gains or losses deferred in equity are immediately recognized in profit or loss.

The Company assesses, along with the hedge term, the effectiveness of its derivative financial instruments, as well as changes in their fair value.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no losses related to the ineffective portion recognized in profit or loss for the year.

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in note 5.2.

In addition, it should be mentioned that, during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not enter into transactions related to hedge of fair value or hedge of net investment.

3.4.3 Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified, upon initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial liabilities at amortized cost or as derivatives designated as hedge instruments in an effective hedge, as applicable.

All financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, more or less, in the event of financial liability not designated at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of financial liability.

The Company's financial liabilities include borrowings, financing and debentures (note 18), derivative financial instruments (nota 5) and trade payables and forfeit operations (note 19).

Subsequent measurement

For the purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified into two categories:

  • Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; and
  • Financial liabilities at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. They are classified as held for trading if incurred for purposes of repurchase in the short term. This category also includes derivative instruments contracted by the Company that are not designated as hedge instruments in hedge relations defined by CPC 48. Separate embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading, unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

26

Gains and losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of income.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated on the initial recognition date, and only if the criteria provided for in CPC 48 were met.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost (borrowings and financing)

After initial recognition, borrowings and financing contracted and granted subject to interest are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when liabilities are written off, as well as through the process of amortizing to effective interest rate. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when liabilities are written off, as well as through the process of amortizing to effective interest rate.

Amortized cost is calculated taking into consideration any negative goodwill or goodwill on acquisition and rates or costs that are integral part of the effective interest method. The amortization at the effective interest method is included as financial expense in the statement of income.

This category generally applies to borrowings and financing granted and contracted, subject to interest.

Derecognition

A financial liability is written off when the obligation over the liability is extinct, i.e., when the obligation set forth in the agreement is settled, cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced for another liability of the same lender under substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, this swap or modification is addressed as derecognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. The difference in respective accounting amounts is recognized in the statement of income.

  1. Cash and cash equivalents
    Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short term commitments, rather than for investment or other purposes. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, bank deposits and short-term investments redeemable within up to 90 days from the investment date, highly liquid or convertible to a known cash amount and subject to immaterial change in value, which are recorded at cost plus income earned through the end of the reporting period and do not exceed their fair or realizable values.
  2. Payables and provision for doubtful accounts
    Trade receivables are accounted at their nominal amount, less the provision for doubtful accounts, which is estimated based on calculating the risk of loss in each aging list group, considering the different risks in accordance with the collection's operation.
  3. Inventories
    Carried at the lower of average cost of purchase or production and net realizable value. Details are disclosed in note 9.
    The Company considers the following when determining its provision for inventory losses: discontinued products, products with slow turnover, expired products or products nearing the expiration date and products that do not meet quality standards, recorded as "Cost of products sold".
  4. Carbon Credits - Carbon Neutral Program
    In 2007, the Company assumed with its employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders a commitment to be a Carbon Neutral company, which is to neutralize their emissions of Greenhouse Gas - GHG, in its complete production chain, from extraction of raw materials to post- consumption. This commitment, which currently refers only to operations under the Natura brand, is not a legal obligation, since Brazil does not have a reduction target, despite being a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol. For this reason, it is considered a constructive obligation under CPC 25 / IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, which requires the recognition of a provision in the financial statements if it is subject to disbursement and measurable.
    The liability is estimated through annually audited inventories of carbon emissions and measured based on the market price for the acquisition of licenses for neutralization. On December 31, 2019, the balance recorded in the caption "Other provisions" (see note 22), refers to the total carbon emissions during the period of 2007 to 2019 that have not yet been offset by corresponding projects and therefore no execution of the certificate of carbon.

27

According to its beliefs and principles, the Company elected to make some purchases of carbon credits by investing in projects with environmental benefits arising from the voluntary market. Thus, the costs will generate carbon credits after completion or maturation of these projects.

During these years, these expenses were recorded at fair value as "other current assets" and "other current assets" (see note 13).

Upon effective delivery of the related carbon credit certificates to the Company, the obligation of being Carbon Neutral is effectively fulfilled; therefore, the balances of assets are offset against those of liabilities.

The difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at December 31, 2019 refers to the amount of cash disbursed in advance for investments in ongoing projects and, for this reason, not yet available for neutralization of emissions and offset of liability.

  1. Current and deferred income tax and social contribution
    Except for subsidiaries abroad, which observe the tax rates valid in the respective countries in which they are located, in Brazil, they include the corporate income tax ("IRPJ") and the social contribution on net income ("CSLL"), which are calculated based on taxable income, by applying the 15% rate plus additional of 10% on taxable income exceeding R$240 for IRPJ and 9% for CSLL and considers the offset of tax losses and tax loss carryforwards, limited to 30% of taxable income. Taxable income reflects profit before taxes adjusted by non-taxable and non- deductible items (both temporary and permanent items).
    Deferred taxes represent tax debits and credits on temporary differences between tax base and accounting base of assets and liabilities on accrued tax losses. Deferred tax and contribution assets and liabilities are classified as
    "non-current" as required by CPC 32 (IAS 12) - Income taxes. When the Company's internal studies indicate that the future use of tax credits is not probable, a provision for loss is recorded.
    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legal feasible right to offset tax liabilities as tax assets, and if they are related to taxes registered by the same tax authority under the same taxable entity. Thus, for presentation purposes, tax asset and liability balances are disclosed separately.
    Deferred tax assets and liabilities must be measured at current rates expected to be applicable in the period in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled, and reflect the uncertainty related to income tax, if any.
  2. Property, plant and equipment
    Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost of acquisition or construction, plus interest capitalized during construction period, when applicable, for the case of a qualifying assets, and reduced by accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if applicable. The useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually.
    Rights in tangible assets intended for the maintenance of Group's activities, arising out of finance leases, are recorded as if they were a financed acquisition, with a property, plant and equipment and a financing liability being recognized at the inception of each transaction, the assets also being subject to depreciation calculated over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets or over the contract term, when the financial lease has no purchase option.
    Land is not depreciated. Depreciation of the other assets is calculated under the straight-line method to distribute their cost over their useful lives, as mentioned in Note 15.
    Gains and losses on disposals are calculated by comparing the proceeds from the sale with the carrying amount and are recognized in profit or loss under "Other Operating Income (Expenses), Net".
  3. Intangible assets
    1. Software

Licenses of software and enterprise management systems acquired are capitalized and amortized according to the useful lives described in note 16 and maintenance costs are recognized as expenses when incurred.

System acquisition and implementation costs are capitalized as intangible assets when the asset is identified, when there is evidence that future economic benefits will flow into the entity and when the asset is controlled by the Company, taking into consideration its economic and technologic viability. The amounts incurred on software development recognized as assets are amortized under the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. The expenditures related to software maintenance are expensed when incurred.

28

b) Trademarks and patents

Separately acquired trademarks and patents are stated at their historic cost. Trademarks and patents acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. For trademarks and patents with definite useful lives, amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis at the annual rates described in note 16.

c) Relationship with retail clients, franchisees and sub-franchisees

Relationships with retail clients, franchisees and sub-franchisees acquired in business combinations are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date and their amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis, based on rates shown in note 16.

d) Key money with defined useful life

Goodwill with defined useful life is recorded at the acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis during the rental period, as shown in note 16.

e) Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives held by the Company refer mainly to trademarks and goodwill due to expectations of future economic benefits arising from transactions involving business transactions, and tradeable key money.

These assets are not amortized but are tested annually for losses due to impairment either individually or at the level of the cash generating unit (or groups of cash generation units). The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether this assessment continues to be supportable. Otherwise, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net from the sale and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss upon disposal of the asset under "Other Operating Income (Expenses), Net".

3.12 Impairment assessment

The assets' carrying amount is annually evaluated to identify evidences of impairment, or also significant events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. When applicable, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are independent cash flows (cash-generating units, or CGUs).

The assets of the Group are initially grouped into operating segments, which follows a logic based on its Corporate Governance structure. Within the operating segments, assets are grouped into cash generating units as follows:

Operating Segment

Identification of CGUs

Natura Brazil

Direct selling

Individual stores

Natura LATAM

Argentina

Chile

Peru

Mexico

Colombia

Natura Others

France

USA

Aesop

Individual stores

The Body Shop

Individual stores

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is determined as being the higher of the value in use of the asset and the fair value less costs of disposal. In the estimation of the value in use of the asset, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital for the company in which it operates the cash-generating unit. The fair value net of costs of sale is measured based on the preparation of the discounted cash flow at its present value, using a discount rate before taxes that reflects the company's weighted average cost of capital in which the generating cash unit operates, including assumptions for the stores expansion and investments, as well as the respective revenues that will be generated as a result of this expansion, considering the assumptions that other market participants would use when pricing the assets or liabilities.

29

  1. Product research and development expenses
    The Company's accounting practice includes recording its product research and development costs, when incurred, as expenses for the period, since due to the high innovation index and product turnover in its sales portfolio, it is impracticable to meet all aspects required in IAS 38/CPC 04 - Intangible Assets for capitalizing the amounts.
  2. Leases
    Up to December 31, 2018, the Company classified lease classification at the inception of the contract. Leases where the Company was a lessor and retained substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership were classified as operating leases. Lease payments under an operating lease were recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases where the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership were classified as finance leases. These leases were capitalized in balance sheet at the commencement of the lease term at the lower amount of the fair value of leased asset and the present value of minimum lease payments. Each lease installment was apportioned between liabilities and the finance charges so as to permit obtaining a constant effective interest rate on the outstanding liability. The corresponding obligations, less the finance charge, were classified in current liabilities and non-current liabilities, according to the lease term. Property, plant and equipment items acquired through finance leases were depreciated over their useful lives, or over the lease term, when it is shorter and has no purchase option.
    On January 1, 2019, the Company applied CPC 06(R2) / IFRS16, approved by the Securities and Exchange
    Commission of Brazil ("CVM") in December 2017, which introduced one sole lease model, replacing the concept of classifying between operating and finance lease, which was applied by the Company up to December 31, 2018. The impact of this new standard is detailed in Note 3.29.
  3. Borrowing costs
    Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that necessarily requires a significant effort to be ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the corresponding asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred by an entity related to a loan.
  4. Trade payables and forfeit operations
    These are initially recognized at their nominal amounts, plus interest, inflation adjustments and exchange rate differences through the end of the reporting period, when applicable.
  5. Provisions for risks
    Provisions are recognized when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and its value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Provisions are quantified at the present value of the expected outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle the obligations using the appropriate discount rate, according to related risks.
    The provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks are adjusted for inflation through the end of the reporting period to cover probable losses, based on the nature of the risk and the opinion of the Company's legal counsel.
    Contingent assets are not recognized by the Company and are only disclosed, in case of probable receipt of economic benefits. If it is practically certain that economic benefits will be received, the asset and the corresponding gain are recorded in the Financial Statements of the year corresponding to the change in estimate.
  6. Borrowings, financing and debentures
    Initially recognized at fair value of proceeds received less transaction costs in applicable cases, plus charges, interest, inflation adjustments and exchange rate differences as provided for in agreements, incurred through the end of the reporting period, as shown in note 18.
  7. Employee benefits

3.19.1 Short-term benefits

The obligations of short-term benefits for employees are recognized as personnel expenses as the corresponding service is rendered. The liability is recognized at the amount of the expected payment if the Company has a legal

30

or constructive obligation to pay the amount due to services rendered by an employee in the past and the obligation can be reliably estimated.

3.19.2 Profit sharing

The Company recognizes a liability and an expense for profit sharing based on criteria that it considers the profit attributable to its shareholders after certain adjustments and which is tied to the achievement of specific operational goals and objectives established and approved in the beginning of each fiscal year.

3.19.3 Long-term incentive program

The Company made available until June 2019 to eligible executives of its subsidiary Emeis Holdings Pty Ltd. a long- term incentive program, based on criteria linked to specific operational goals and objectives established at the beginning of the relationship between the parties, being such obligation recorded as a liability and remeasured with effect on profit or loss.

3.19.3 Defined post-employment healthcare benefit

The actuarial liability for the healthcare plan of the Company and its subsidiaries refers to a post-employment benefit plan to current and former employees who made fixed contributions for funding the healthcare plan up to April 30, 2010, when the healthcare plan design was changed and fixed contributions were eliminated. Those who contributed to the plan for ten years or more are ensured the right to remain as a beneficiary for an indefinite term (lifetime), and those who contributed for a period of less than ten years are ensured the right to remain as a beneficiary at the rate of one year for each year in which fixed contributions were made. This group of current employees, in the event of termination of employment relationship, may opt to remain in the plan in accordance with applicable legislation, thereby assuming the payment of the monthly plan fee charged by the healthcare plan operators. However, this monthly plan fee does not necessarily represent the total cost of the user, which is borne by the Company through payment of the excess cost, as an additional benefit.

The costs associated with this benefit are recognized under the accrual method of accounting as a defined-benefitpost-employment benefit plan using the projected unit credit method.

The current service cost and accrued interest on the present value of the liability are recognized in the Income Statement and the actuarial gains and losses generated by the remeasurement of the liability due to changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized as Other Comprehensive Income. In case of changes or reductions in the plan, the effects of the cost of past services are recognized in the Income Statement on the date of occurrence.

3.20 Share-based payment

The Company's executives are granted the following stock option plans, settled exclusively with its own shares:

  • Stock option plan;
  • Restricted stock plan; and
  • Strategy acceleration program.

The plans are measured at fair value at the grant date. In determining the fair value, the Company uses an adequate valuation method, details of which are disclosed in Note 27.1.

The cost of transactions settled with equity instruments is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in shareholders' equity under the heading "Additional paid-in capital", throughout the period in which the service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the employee acquires the full right to the award (acquisition date). The cumulative expense recognized for equity instruments transactions settled on each base date up to the acquisition date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has transpired and the Company' best estimate of the number of equity instruments to be acquired. The expense or credit in the statement of income of the period is recorded under the heading "Administrative expenses".

For the stock option plan and the strategy-acceleration program, despite the expiration of the term for exercise, the recognized expense is not reversed since the right has been acquired by executives.

When an award of equity instruments settlement is cancelled (except when the cancellation occurs due to loss of right over the equity instrument for not fulfilling the grants conditions), it is treated as if it had been acquired on the date of cancellation, and any expense not recognized is registered immediately. This includes any award for which Company or the counterparty have the option not to fulfill the non-acquisition obligation. All cancellations of transactions settled with equity securities are treated in the same way.

31

The dilution effect of options granted is reflected as additional share dilution in the calculation of diluted earnings per share (Note 30.2).

  1. Dividends and interest on capital
    The proposed distribution of dividends and interest on capital made by Management included in the portion equivalent to the mandatory minimum dividends is recognized in line item "Other payables" in current liabilities, as it is considered as a legal obligation provided for by the Company's bylaws; however, the portion of dividends exceeding minimum dividends declared by management after the reporting period but before the authorization date for issuance of these financial statements is recognized in line item "Proposed additional dividends."
    For corporate and accounting purposes, interest on capital is stated as allocation of income directly in shareholders' equity.
  2. Treasury shares
    The Company's own equity instruments which are reacquired (Treasury shares) are recognized at acquisition cost and deducted from shareholders ' equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.
  3. Government grants and assistance - Exploration profit
    Government subsidies and assistance for investments are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the entity complied with the conditions established by the government agency granting the subsidy. They are recognized as income or expense deduction in profit or loss for the fruition period of the benefit and, subsequently, are allocated to tax incentive reserve under equity.
    The subsidiary Indústria e Comércio de Cosméticos Natura Ltda. has projects located in areas under operation of the Amazonia Development Superintendence ("SUDAM"), whose activity is classified as priority economic activity, entitling to the tax benefit of reducing 75% of taxable income, calculated based on the profit from exploration of the respective region.
    Natura has projects located in the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais. These Federative Units have internal legislation including decrees that authorize the granting of tax incentives, under the presumptive credit modality, to companies that invest in them. Natura has complied with the requirements and, through a Special regime, obtained authority to apply said tax incentives.
  4. Segment reporting
    Information per operating segment is consistent with the internal report provided to the chief operating decision maker on operational matters.
    The main decision-making body of the Company, which is responsible for defining the allocation of resources to the operating segments is the Board of Directors of the Company, which is advised by the Group's Operations Committee ("GOC"), the Audit, Risk Management and Finances Committee, the People and Corporate
    Development Committee, the Strategic Committee and the Corporate Governance Committee ("Committees").
    The GOC , which includes the CEOs of Natura, The Body Shop and Aesop, in addition to representatives of key business areas (Finance, Human Resources, Business Strategy and Development, Legal, Innovation and Sustainability, Operations and Corporate Governance), is responsible, among other things, for monitoring the implementation of short- and long-term strategies and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the management of the Group, from the viewpoint of results, allocation of resources among business units, cash flow and talent management.
  5. Revenue from contracts with customers
    On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted CPC 47 / IFRS 15, approved by the Securities Commission of Brazil ("CVM") in December 2016, using the cumulative effect method (without practical expedients), which establishes a model of five steps applicable to revenue from a contract with a customer, irrespective of the type of revenue transaction or industry. As a result of the implementation of CPC 47 / IFRS 15, the Company reviewed its accounting practices related to the identification of performance obligations, such as recognition for performance related to Natura Consultants, events and conventions aimed at encouraging and congratulating the best Natura Consultants, and other obligations, as shown below:

32

Performance obligation

Nature, fixation of transaction price and the moment when

performance obligation is fulfilled

a) Direct sales

Revenue from sales is generated by sales to Natura Consultants (our

customers) based on the fair value of consideration

received/receivable, excluding discounts, rebates and taxes or charges

on sales. Revenue from sales is recognized when the performance

obligation is fulfilled, i.e., when the promised product is physically

delivered and the Natura Consultant obtains control over this product.

Revenue from sales is generated and accrued initially in the sales

subsidiary ledger of the Company from the moment when the dispatch

slip is issued in the customers' name. However, since revenues are

recorded only when the final delivery of products effectively occurs,

the Company registers a provision to eliminate the amount of revenue

related to products dispatched and not received by Natura Consultants

on each reporting date.

b) Direct sales - Additional

The Company charges its customers (Natura Consultants) additional

charges and penalties for late

charges and penalties for late payments in the settlement of sales

payments

receivable. Due to the level of uncertainty in receiving these amounts

(variable consideration), the Company recognizes revenue from

additional charges and penalties for late payments only upon receipt of

amounts.

c) Retail sales

At Emeis Holding Pty Ltd, Natura Comercial Ltda., Natura Europa SAS -

France, Natura International Inc. and The Body Shop International

Limited, which operate in the retail market, sales revenue is measured

based on the fair value of consideration received/receivable, excluding

discounts, rebates and taxes or charges on sales. This sales revenue is

recognized when the performance obligation is fulfilled, i.e., when the

promised product is physically transferred, and the consumer obtains

control over this product.

d) Loyalty program (Points

The Company offers points campaign (loyalty program), in which

campaign)

customers accumulate points while buying the Company's products to

be exchanged (redeemed) for products in the future. Measurement of

points is based on their expected cost, plus a margin. The amount

allocated to the loyalty program is deferred and the revenue is

recognized upon redemption of the points accumulated by Natura

Consultants or when it is no longer probable that the points will be

redeemed.

e) Program for recognition of

The Company has performance recognition programs, in which it

Natura Consultants' performance

awards Natura Consultants based on achievement of targets and

objectives. The Company believes that this performance recognition

program has a high value and hence is considered a performance

obligation. Measurement of performance recognition programs is

based on their expected cost, plus a margin. The amount allocated to

performance recognition programs is deferred and revenue is

recognized when awards are delivered to Natura Consultants.

f) Events

The Company organizes events to encourage and recognize the best

Natura Consultants. The Company believes that these events are of

high value for Natura Consultants and create expectations among them

to participate in them. Thus, the Company believes that these events

are characterized as performance obligations. Measurement of events

is based on their expected cost, plus a margin. The amount allocated to

events is deferred and the revenue is recognized when the event is

held.

33

g) Franchises (Courses, training

Upon execution of the agreement, the Company charges from

and consulting / Outfit and

franchisees a fixed amount, part of which is allocated to courses,

inauguration)

training and consulting to prepare the franchisees to sell products

under Natura brand. The other part refers to outfit (specific products

to be used at the franchisee store) and inauguration (opening event of

franchisee's store). The Company believes that these items represent a

material right and, for such, they were considered performance

obligations. Measurement is based on the market value of these items,

which are initially recognized as deferred revenue. When the

franchisee's store is opened, this deferred revenue is allocated to profit

or loss for the year.

h) Franchisees (Advertisement

Upon the execution of the agreement, the Company charges from

program)

franchisees a fixed amount, a part of which is for the advertisement

fund (monthly delivery of showcases). The Company believes that this

item represents a material right and, for such, it was considered a

performance obligation. Measurement is based on the market value of

this item, which is initially recognized as deferred revenue. This

revenue is deferred and allocated to profit or loss for the year upon the

delivery of showcases to the franchisees.

i) Franchises (Brand use right)

Upon the execution of the agreement, the Company charges from

franchisees a fixed amount, part of which is for the use of the "Natura"

brand. The Company believes that this item represents a material right

and, for such, it was considered a performance obligation.

Measurement is based on residual value, i.e., the remaining value after

excluding the market value of courses, training and consulting services,

outfit and inauguration, and the Advertisement Fund. This amount is

initially recognized as deferred revenue. This deferred revenue is

allocated to profit or loss, on a straight-line basis, over the term of the

franchise agreement.

j) Incentives related to "free-of-

The Company grants incentives related to "free-of-charge" products

charge" products and

and promotional gifts for its customers (Natura Consultants and/or end

promotional gifts

consumers). Since it is considered a material right, the Company

recognizes this item as a performance obligation. Considering that the

delivery of products and the realization of performance obligation of

delivering "free-of-charge" products or promotional gifts occur at the

same time, the Company concluded that an allocation of prices and

monitoring these two performance obligations separately are not

applicable. Thus, revenue is recognized when the physical transfer of

the product occurs, and the customer obtains control over this product.

3.26 Financial income and expenses

The Company's financial income and expenses comprise:

  • Interest revenue and expenses;
  • Dividends revenue;
  • Dividends of preferred shares issued classified as financial liability;
  • Net gains/losses from financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss;
  • Net gains/losses from exchange variation on financial assets and liabilities;
  • Net gains/losses from hedge instruments recognized in profit or loss; and
  • Reclassifications of net gains previously recognized in other comprehensive income.

Interest income and expenses are recognized as profit or loss through the effective tax rate method.

Revenue from dividends is recognized in profit or loss on the date the Company's right to receive the payment is established.

The Company classifies interest received and dividends and interest on capital received as cash flows from investing activities.

34

  1. Statement of value added
    The purpose of this statement is to disclose the wealth created by the Company and its distribution during a certain reporting period, and is presented by the Company, as required by the Brazilian Corporate Law, as an integral part of its individual financial statements, and as supplemental information of the consolidated financial statements, since this statement is not required by IFRS.
    The statement of value added was prepared using information obtained in the same accounting records used to prepare the financial statements and pursuant to the provisions of CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. The first part of this statement includes the wealth created by the Company, represented by revenue (gross sales revenue, including taxes levied thereon, other income, and the effects of the allowance for doubtful accounts), inputs acquired from third parties (cost of sales and purchase of materials, electricity, and services from third parties, including taxes levied at the time of the acquisition, the effects of impairment losses, and depreciation and amortization), and the value added received from third parties (equity in subsidiaries, financial income, and other income). The second part of the statement of value added presents the distribution of wealth among personnel, taxes, fees and contributions, lenders and lessors, and shareholders.
  2. New standards and interpretations and amendments to standards not yet adopted
    The standards, amendments and interpretations issued, but not yet adopted, up to the date of issuance of the Company's financial statements are presented below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.
    • CPC 15 (R1) / IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - whenever applicable, the Company adopts this accounting standard, but the alterations in this standard, since they are not effective for the year ended, were not adopted;
    • CPC23/IAS 8 - Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors and CPC26/IAS 1 - Presentation of financial statements - the Company adopts these accounting standards for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, but the alterations in these standards, since they are not effective for the year ended, were not adopted; and
    • Alterations in references to the conceptual structure in IFRS - the Company adopts the CPC / IFRS conceptual standard. However, since these alterations are not effective yet, they were not adopted.
  3. New standards, amendments and interpretations of standards adopted for the first time for the period starting on January 1, 2019
    CPC 06(R2) / IFRS 16 - Lease Operations
    On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted CPC 06(R2) / IFRS 16, approved by the Securities and Exchange
    Commission of Brazil ("CVM") in December 2017, which introduces a single lease model, replacing the concept of classifying leases as operating and financial leases. The main purpose is to define if there is lease in agreements or if the agreement is for the provision of service. After defining this, if an agreement contains a lease, it must be booked under assets, to be depreciated in liability and recording financial charges.
    The lease is present in an agreement if it includes both the following conditions:
    • An identifiable asset explicitly or implicitly specified. In this case, the supplier does not have the practice of replacing the asset, or such replacement would not bring any economic benefit to the supplier.
    • The right to control the use of the asset over the duration of the agreement. In this case, the Company must have the authority to take decisions on the use of the asset and the capacity to obtain substantially all economic benefits for the use of the asset.

CPC 06(R2) / IFRS 16 includes two practical expedients from recognition for tenants that were applied by the Company and its subsidiaries upon the fist-time adoption at January 1, 2019: leases of low-value assets and short- term leases, i.e., lease terms of 12 months or less.

The Company and its subsidiaries opted for the simplified modified retrospective transition approach, without the restatement of comparison periods, adopting the following criteria for first-time recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities:

  • Recognition of lease liabilities on thefirst-time adoption date for leases previously classified as operating leases. Lease liabilities were measured at present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted based

35

on the incremental interest rates on loans, grouped by nature of the asset, region and contractual period; and

  • Recognition ofright-of-use assets on the first-time adoption date for leases previously classified as operating leases. The right-of-use asset is measured at the equivalent amount of the lease liability, adjusted by the value of any early or accrued lease payments related to the lease that has been recognized in the balance sheet immediately before the first-time adoption date.

The following charts show the impacts of first-time adoption of CPC 06 (R2) / IFRS 16 on the financial statements as of January 1, 2019.

The Company evaluated whether there were indicators of impairment in its right-of-use assets at the transition date and there were no indicators of impairment.

All movements during the year ended 2019 related to CPC 06(R2) / IFRS 16 is presented in the note 17.

The following interpretation of standard was also adopted for the first-time starting January 1, 2019; however, it did not have significant effects on Company's financial statements:

  • ICPC 22 / IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments: This interpretation clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in CPC 32 - Tributos sobre o Lucro (IAS 12 - Income Taxes) (CPC 32 / IAS 12), when there is uncertainty over income tax treatment. In such a circumstance, an entity shall recognize and measure its current or deferred tax assets or liabilities, applying the requirements of CPC 32 / IAS 12 based on taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, determined applying this interpretation.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the individual and consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain judgments and use assumptions and estimates based on experience and other factors considered relevant, which affect the values of assets and liabilities and which may present results that differ from actual results.

The significant judgments made by the Company are related to the recognition of revenue and leasing.

The areas that require a higher level of judgment and have greater complexity, as well as the areas in which assumptions and estimates are significant for the financial statements, are disclosed below.

36

  1. Income tax, social contribution and other taxes
    The Company recognizes deferred assets and liabilities based on the differences between the book value presented in the financial statements and the tax base of assets and liabilities, using the rates in force. The Company regularly reviews deferred tax assets in terms of the possibility of recovery, considering the historical profit generated and the projected future taxable profit, according to a technical feasibility study, reflecting the uncertainties related to its calculation, if any.
  2. Provision for tax, civil, and labor risks
    The Company is a party to several legal and administrative proceedings as described in note 22. Provisions are recorded for tax, civil and labor risks related to lawsuits that represent probable and estimated losses with a certain degree of certainty. The assessment of the likelihood of loss includes the assessment of the available evidence, the hierarchy of laws, the available jurisprudence, the most recent court decisions and their relevance in the legal system, as well as the assessment of legal counsel.
  3. Post-employmenthealthcare plan
    The current amount of the post-employment healthcare plan is contingent to a series of factors determined based on actuarial calculations, based on a series of financial and demographic assumptions, such as the discount rate, medical inflation and percentage of adhesion to the plan, which are disclosed in note 22).
  4. Stock option plan, restricted share plan and strategy acceleration program
    The stock option plan, restricted share plan and strategy acceleration program are measured at fair value at the grant date and the expense is recognized in profit or loss during the vesting period against "Additional paid-in capital" in shareholders' equity. At the balance sheet dates, Management reviews the estimates as to the number of stock options/restricted shares and, where applicable, recognizes the effect arising from this review in profit or loss for period against shareholders' equity. The assumptions and models used to estimate the fair value of the stock option plan, restricted share plan and strategy acceleration program are disclosed in Note 27.1.
  5. Impairment loss
    An impairment loss exists when the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. Fair value less costs of disposal is calculated based on information available about similar assets sold or market prices less additional costs to dispose of the asset.
    Value in use is calculated based on the discounted cash flow model. Cash flows derive from a budget prepared for the following five to ten years, according to the operating segment, and their projections consider the market's expectations for operations, estimated investments and working capital, as well as other economic factors. The value in use is sensitive to the discount rate used under the discounted cash flow method, as well as the growth rate and perpetuity used for extrapolation purposes.
    Details on this subject are presented in Note 16.
  6. Trade receivables and provision for expected credit losses
    The provision for expected losses on accounts receivable from customers is estimated based on the weighting of the risk of loss for each group in the "aging list", considering the different risks according to the collection operation. The characteristics of the Company's accounts receivable are:
    • Insignificant financial component;
    • Receivables portfolio without complexity; and
    • Low credit risk.

The Company adopted the simplified approach to expected credit loss, which consists of recognizing the expected credit loss over the total useful life of the asset. The methodology for determining the provision for losses on accounts receivable from customers, adopted by the Company until December 31, 2017, was the "aging list" model, in which the provision was calculated based on the historical loss. A range estimate was used using the weighted average of losses for the last 6 months. The calculation also considered a segregation of Natura Consultants by length of relationship, and a division between renegotiated and non-renegotiated securities. In addition, the Company concluded that the macroeconomic indices have no significant impact on its provision estimates. To corroborate this understanding, the Company prepared some correlation analyzes between the indices that could potentially have some influence in the sector and its history of losses with customers, such as

37

Gross Domestic Product - GDP, Unemployment Index, Broad National Consumer Price Index - IPCA and referential rate of the Special Settlement and Custody System - SELIC.

After analyzing the Company's management, it was concluded that the methodology already practiced by the Company is in line with the expected losses model and, therefore, the initial adoption of CPC 48 / IFRS 9 as of January 1, 2018 did not present any relevant impacts in measuring the provision for expected credit losses with accounts receivable from customers.

4.7 Provision for inventory losses

The provision for inventory losses is estimated using methodology for including discontinued products, products with slow turnover, products expired or nearing expiration and products that do not meet quality standards. The results of provisions are stated in Note 9.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

5.1 General considerations and policies

Risks and financial instruments are managed through the definition of policies and strategies and implementation of control systems, defined by the Company's Treasury Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. The compliance of the position in financial instruments, including derivatives, in relation to these policies, is presented and assessed on a monthly basis by the Company's Treasury Committee and subsequently submitted to the analysis of the Audit Committee, the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors.

Risk management of Natura operations (Brazil, Latam, Netherlands, USA and France) is performed by the Company's general treasury function, which is also responsible for approving the short-term investments and loan transactions. Risk management of the subsidiaries Aesop and The Body Shop is conducted by the local treasury departments, subject to monitoring and approval by the Company's Central Treasury.

5.2 Financial risk factors

The activities of the Group expose it to several financial risks: market risk (including currency and interest risks), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management program is focused on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance, using derivatives to protect certain risk exposures.

a) Market risk

The Company and the subsidiaries are exposed to market risks arising from their business activities. These risks mainly comprise possible fluctuations in exchange and interest rates.

One of the subjects currently in discussion in the international market, which could affect the operations of The Body Shop International Limited, is the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, better known as Brexit. Despite many uncertainties on the outcome of the negotiations, the Management has been monitoring its impacts, as well as studying and taking measures to mitigate the negative effects that may arise from it. One of these measures was the installation of a new distribution center in Continental Europe, which aims to mitigate Brexit risks and help The Body Shop in implementing logistic improvements in order to reduce average days of store supply, in line with more comprehensive business transformation goals.

To hedge the current balance sheet positions of the Company and the subsidiaries against market risks, the following derivative instruments are used and consist of the balances in the following table, as of December 31,

2019 and December 31, 2018:

The characteristics of these instruments and the risks which they are linked are described below.

b) Foreign exchange risk

The Company and the subsidiaries are exposed to the foreign exchange risk arising from financial instruments denominated in currencies different from their functional currencies. To reduce this exposure, Natura Cosméticos implemented policies to hedge against the foreign exchange risk that establish exposure limits linked to this risk.

The treasury area's procedures defined based on the current policy include monthly projection and assessment of the Company and the subsidiaries foreign exchange exposure, on which management's decision-making is based.

The Company's exchange rate hedging policy considers the values of foreign currency receivables and payables balances of commitments already made and recorded in the financial information from the operations, as well as future cash flows, with an average of six months, still not recorded in the balance sheet.

The Body Shop has a specific foreign exchange hedging policy that covers foreign currency loans among the group companies, as well as future purchase and sale operations of goods, for a maximum period of 12 months.

As of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company and the subsidiaries are primarily exposed to the risk of fluctuation of the US dollar, euro and pound sterling. In order to hedge foreign exchange exposures in relation to foreign currency, the Company and the subsidiaries enter into transactions with derivative financial instruments such as "swap" and forward purchase of currency denominated ("Non-Deliverable Forwards - NDF"). Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Protection Policy, the operating derivatives contracted by the Company must limit the loss related to the exchange devaluation in relation to the net income projected for the current year, given a certain estimate of exchange rate devaluation against the US dollar in cash flow projections exposed to this currency. This limitation defines the ceiling or maximum exchange exposure permitted to the Group in relation to the US dollar and Euro.

As of December 31, 2019, borrowings, financing and debentures, individual and consolidated balance sheets include accounts denominated in foreign currency which expose the Company to foreign exchange risks, in the aggregate, represent net liabilities of R$ 3,381,960 (R$3,012,897 as of December 31, 2018).

i) Derivatives to hedge foreign Exchange rate risk

The Company classifies derivatives into "financial" and "operational". "Financial" derivatives include swaps or forwards contracted to hedge against the foreign exchange risk associated with foreign-currency-denominated borrowings, financing and intercompany loans, "operational" derivatives include derivatives contracted to hedge against the foreign exchange risk on the business's operating cash flows.

Outstanding swap contracts, with maturities between January 2020 and February 2023 were entered into the counterparties represented by Bank of America (0.2%), HSBC (26.2%), Citibank (21.2%), Bradesco (26.2%) and Itaú BBA (26.2%). Currency forward contracts against the pound sterling mature within 12 months and were executed with counterparties represented by HSBC and Santander. Swap agreements in Mexican pesos and Chilean pesos have maturities of up to 6 months and were executed with the other party represented by HSBC. On December 31, 2019, the balances of financial derivatives were:

  1. Financial swap operations consist of exchanging the exchange variation for a correction related to: a percentage of the variation of the Interbank Deposit Certificate -post-fixed CDI - in the case of Brazil.

The notional amount represents the amounts of the contracted derivatives. Fair value refers to the value of outstanding contracted derivatives recognized in balance sheets.

For derivatives maintained by the Company and the subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, due to the fact contracts are directly entered into with the financial institutions and not through B3, there are no margin calls deposited as guarantee of the related transactions.

Operational derivative - Consolidated

On December 31, 2019, the Company holds forward derivative instruments with HSBC and Santander in order to hedge against exchange rate risk on import and export operations of the subsidiary The Body Shop in foreign currencies against the pound sterling and U.S. dollar.

These derivatives are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in the group of costs of products sold and are broken down as follows:

Sensitivity analysis

For the sensitivity analysis of the risk of foreign exchange rate exposure, the Company's Management understands it is necessary to consider in addition to the assets and liabilities, with exposure to the fluctuation of exchange rates recorded in the balance sheet, the value of the fair value of the financial instruments contracted by the Company for the protection of certain exposures as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, as shown in the following table:

This analysis considers only financial assets and liabilities registered in Brazil in foreign currency, since exposure to exchange variation in other countries is close to zero due to the strength of currencies and the effectiveness of their derivatives and considers that all other variables, especially interest rates, remain constant and ignore any impact from forecasted purchases and sales.

The tables below show the loss that would have been recognized in the subsequent period, assuming that the current net foreign exchange exposure remains static, based on the following scenarios:

The probable scenario considers future US dollar rates for 90 days. According to quotations obtained at B3 on the expected maturity dates of financial instruments with foreign exchange exposure, it is R $ 4.03 / US $ 1.00. Scenarios II and III consider a drop in the US dollar of 25% (R $ 3.02 / US $ 1.00) and 50% (R $ 2.02 / US $ 1.00), respectively. Probable scenarios II and III are being presented in compliance with CVM Instruction 475/08.

Management uses the probable scenario in the assessment of possible changes in the exchange rate and presents the referred scenario in compliance with IFRS 7 / CPC 40 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Derivative instruments designated for hedge accounting

The Company performed formal designation of its operations subject to hedge accounting for derivative financial instruments for hedging loans denominated in foreign currency of Natura Cosméticos S.A. and Natura Distribuidora de México, S.A. de C.V., and operating cash flows resulting from the purchase and sale denominated in foreign currency of The Body Shop, documenting:

  • The hedge relationship;
  • The Company's objective and risk management strategy in taking out the hedge transaction;
  • Identification of the financial instrument;
  • The hedged item or hedge transaction;
  • The nature of the risk to be hedged;
  • Description of the hedge relationship;
  • The statement of correlation between hedge and hedged item, where applicable; and
  • The prospective statement of hedge effectiveness.

The Company designates as cash flow hedge derivative financial instruments used to offset variations from exposure to exchange rate, in the market value of contracted debts not in the functional currency.

On December 31, 2019, the consolidated position of instruments designated as cash flow hedge totaled R$ 3,702,539 (three billion, seven hundred and two million, five hundred and thirty nine thousand reais), of notional amount which R $ 2,664,001 is hedged against Reais and £ 194,957 (R $ 1,038,538) is hedged against Pounds Sterling, as shown in the Cash Flow Hedge Instrument - Consolidated.

c) Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk arises from financial investments and short and long-term loans and financing. Financial instruments issued at variable rates expose the Company and its subsidiaries to the risk of cash flows associated with the interest rate. Financial instruments issued at the prefixed rates expose the Company and its subsidiaries to the fair value risk associated with the interest rate.

The Company's cash flow risk associated with the interest rate arises from investments and short- and long-term loans and financing issued at floating rates. The Company's Management adopts the policy of maintaining its rates

42

of exposure to asset and liability interest rates pegged to floating rates, Short-term investments are adjusted by the Interbank Deposit Rate (CDI) whereas borrowings and financing are adjusted based on the Long-term Interest Rate (TJLP), CDI and fixed rates, according to the contracts made with the related financial institutions, and trading securities with investors in this market.

Sensitivity analysis

On December 31, 2019, there are loans and financing denominated in foreign currency and issued at fixed rates under contract "swap ", changing the interest over the liability to CDI fluctuation. The Company is, therefore, exposed to CDI fluctuation. The following table presents the exposure to interest rate risks of transactions pegged to CDI, including derivative transactions (loans and financing were considered at their full amounts, since 97% of them are linked to CDI rate):

  1. This refers to transactions involving CDI-backed derivatives to hedge the loans and financing arrangements raised in foreign currency in Brazil.

The sensitivity analysis considers the exposure of borrowings and financing, net of short-term investments, pegged to the CDI rate (notes 6 and 7).

The tables below set out projected incremental loss that will be recognized in income statement for the following year, assuming that the current net liability exposure will remain unaltered and the following scenarios:

The probable scenario considers future interest rates obtained at B3 for the maturity dates of the financial instruments exposed to interest rate risks. Scenarios II and III consider an increase in the interest rate of 25% (5.4% per year) and 50% (6.5% per year), respectively, over the CDI rate of 4.35% per year (probably scenario).

d) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to risk of a counterparty not complying with its contract obligations, which would result in financial losses for the Company. The Group's sales are made to a high number of Natura's Consultants and this risk is managed through a credit granting process. The result of this management is reflected in the 'Provision for doubtful accounts' under "Trade receivables", as explained in note 8.

The Company is also subject to credit risks related to financial instruments contracted for the management of its business, primarily represented by cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and derivative instruments.

The Company believes that the credit risk of transactions with financial institutions is low, as these are considered by the Management as prime banks.

The policy for Short-term Investments adopted by the Company's Management establishes the financial institutions with which the Group can do business and defines fund allocation limits and the amounts that may be invested in each of these financial institutions.

e) Liquidity risk

Effectively managing liquidity risk implies to maintain enough cash and marketable securities, funds available through credit facilities used and the ability to settle market positions.

Management monitors the Group's consolidated liquidity level considering the expected cash flows against unused credit facilities, as shown in the following table:

The Company also has the following credit line:

  • Up to seventy million British pounds (£70 million), with no guarantee, that can be withdrawn in installments to meetshort-term financing needs of The Body Shop International Limited. This credit line is valid through March 2021 and is renewed automatically at the discretion of The Body Shop International Limited. Interest will be paid based according to LIBOR or EURIBOR + 2.0% p.a.
  • Up to one hundred fifty million reais (R$150,000) in an unsecured credit line, which can be withdrawn in installments to meet theshort-term financing needs of Natura Cosméticos S.A. This credit line is valid until January 2020. Interest would be paid at the CDI rate + 1.25% p.a.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had not drawn down on these available credit lines.

5.3 Capital management

The Company's objectives in managing its capital are to ensure that the Company is continuously capable of offering return to its shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce this capital cost.

The Company monitors capital based on the financial leverage ratios. This ratio corresponds to the net debt divided by the total equity. The net debt corresponds to total borrowings and financings (including short- and long-term borrowings, as shown in the consolidated balance sheet), deducted from cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (except for "Crer para Ver" funds).

a) Fair Value Estimate

Financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period as prescribed by CPC 46 / IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement follow the hierarchy below:

  • Level 1: Evaluation based on prices quoted (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. A market is considered active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on anarm's-length basis;
  • Level 2: Used for financial instruments that are not traded in active markets (for example,over-the-counter derivatives) and whose fair value is determined using valuation techniques that, in addition to the quoted prices, included in Level 1, use other inputs adopted by the market for assets or liabilities, whether directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

44

  • Level 3: Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on the data adopted by the market (i.e. unobservable inputs).

As of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the measurement of Group's derivatives falls under the Level 2 characteristics and there were no changes in levels in the period. The fair value of exchange rate derivatives (swap and forwards) is determined based on the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period, with the resulting amount being discounted to present value.

  1. Fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost (Level 2)Short-terminvestments

The carrying amounts of the short-term investments in Certificates of Bank Deposits measured at amortized cost approximate their fair values as transactions are conducted at floating interest rates.

Borrowings, financing and debentures

The carrying amounts of borrowings, financing and debentures are measured at their amortized cost and disclosed at fair value.

Trade receivables and payables

It is estimated that the carrying amounts of trade receivables and trade payables approximate their fair values in view of the short term of the transactions conducted.

The Group does not maintain any guarantees for past-due receivables and payables.

  1. Refers to the tax benefit instituted by Law No. 11,196 / 05, which allows deduction directly in the calculation of income tax and the social contribution of the amount corresponding to 60% of the total expenses with research and technological innovation,

observing the rules established in that Law.

b)The Company has ICMS tax incentives resulting from its regular operations (Investment subsidizing).

  1. Tax on corporate formation resulted from the difference between the book value of Natura and the acquisition cost used for the purpose of contributing shares issued by Natura to the Company's capital stock (Note 23c). Management believes that, although the amount of the referred special equity reserve formed part of the taxable income for tax purposes in Brazil the nature of this amount is different from the nature of other sources of taxable income in scope of CPC 32 (IAS 12). The key differences are that
    (i) the Company has not generated any taxable profits and this tax is levied essentially on the equity increase that generates the special reserve for statutory purposes; (ii) the creation of the special reserve is, in substance, a reclassification matter; (iii) the tax is levied on the entity as a result of an additional equity increase from the contribution made in the Company; and (iv) future profits of the Company as well as future and historical profits of Natura will continue to be taxed in accordance with the tax

49

legislation. The tax on the Company's formation was recognized in the income statement and presented as "Taxes on Company formation".

a) Impairment testing of intangible assets as an indefinite useful life

Goodwill from the expected future profitability of acquired companies and intangibles assets with indefinite useful life was allocated to the CGU groups. In accordance with CPC 01 - Impairment of Assets (IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets), when a CGU or a group of CGUs have an intangible asset with indefinite useful life allocated, the Company must test it for impairment annually. CGU groups with intangible assets with indefinite useful life as of December 31, 2018 are presented bellows:

Discount rate

These cash flows were discounted using a discount rate after taxes of 11.52%

p.a. for The Body Shop and 12.34% p.a. for Aesop in real terms. The discount rate

was based on the weighted average cost of capital that reflects the specific risk

of each segment.

  1. Based on the inflation applicable to the host country of each segment, based on public information released by the International Monetary Fund.

The Company conducted a sensitivity analysis of (i) the discount rate and (ii) the growth rate in perpetuity, due to their potential impacts on cash flows. A 1 p.p. increase in the discount rate or a 1 p.p. decrease in the growth rate in perpetuity of the cash flow of each CGU group would not result in the need to recognize a loss. Based on the analyses conducted by Management, there was no need to record impairment losses for the balances of these assets in the year ended December 31, 2019.

As described in note 3.29, the Company adopted the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for lease liabilities. As the Company's lease agreements are substantially contracts with payment indexed by inflationary indices and considering the disclosure suggestions published in CVM Circular Letter 02/19, the Company provides additional information on contracts characteristics, so the users of these financial statements can, at their discretion, make projections of future payment indexed by inflation for the period. Most of the lease liability (79%) refers to The Body Shop and Aesop operations whose contracts were signed substantially in developed economy countries. Therefore, for those countries, the potential effects of discounting are not significant given the historical low value of inflation in those countries.

  1. Dividend and interest on equity payment policy
    The shareholders are entitled to receive every year a mandatory minimum dividend of 30% of net income, considering principally the following adjustments:
    • Increase in the amounts resulting from the reversal, in the period, of previously recognized reserves for contingencies.
    • Decrease in the amounts intended for the recognition, in the period, of the legal reserve and reserve for contingencies.
    • Whenever the amount of the minimum mandatory dividend exceeds the realized portion of net income for the year, management may propose, and the General Meeting approves, allocate the excess to the constitution of the unrealized profit reserve (article 197 of Law 6,404/76).

The management board may pay or credit interest on equity in accordance with applicable law.

  1. Capital reserve
    The Incorporation of Shares resulted in the issuance of Natura &Co shares by the total subscription price of R$ 1,101,013,735 corresponding to the amount attributed to Natura Cosmetics shares incorporated by Natura &Co. Of this total, the amount of R$370,266,482 was allocated to the share capital account and the rest, in the amount of R$730,478,428 was allocated to the Company's capital reserve. This incorporation of shares was approved at Natura &Co's by the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting on November 13, 2019.
    Based on the Extraordinary General Meeting held on November 13, 2019, the controlling shareholders of Natura contributed shares issued by the Company of their own, corresponding to 57.3% of the capital of Natura for investment in the Company with the same corresponding interest of Natura, as well an additional cash amount of R$ 206,592, sufficient for the Company to pay the income tax due to the difference between the book value of Natura and the acquisition cost used for the purpose of contributing shares issued by Natura to the Company's capital stock. The recognition of this additional cash received was recorded as a special equity reserve.
    The capital reserve at December 31, 2019 is R$ 1,302,990.
  2. Equity valuation adjustment - Other comprehensive income
    The Company records in this account the effect of exchange rate variation on investments in foreign subsidiaries, including exchange variations in hyperinflationary economy, actuarial gains and losses from the retirees' healthcare plan result from cash flow hedge. For exchange rate variation, the accumulated effect will be reversed in profit or loss for the year as gain or loss only in the case of investment disposal or write-off. For actuarial gains and losses, the amounts will be recognized upon actuarial liability revaluation. The cash flow hedge transactions will be transferred to profit or loss for the year when an ineffective portion is identified and/or upon termination of the relationship.

24. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The determination of the Company's operating segments is based on its Corporate Governance structure, which divides the business into the following segments, for purposes of decision making and managerial analyses: Natura ("Natura Brazil Operation" and "Natura LATAM Operation", includes Corporate LATAM), Aesop (includes P&L of the Holdings Natura Brazil Pty Ltd. and Natura Cosmetics Australia Pty Ltd.), The Body Shop (operation of "The Body Shop" retail stores in all continents) and Natura (Brazil) International B.V. - the Netherlands) and Others (include P&L of Natura Europa SAS - France and Natura Brasil Inc. - USA).

In addition to the segment analysis, the Company's management also analyzes its revenues at various levels, mainly through the sales channels: direct sales, operations in the retail market, e-commerce, B2B and franchises. However, segregation by this type of operation is not yet considered significant for disclosures by Management.

68

  • Natura Brazil Operation: 43.5%
  • Natura LATAM Operation: 18.8%
  • Aesop: 9.0%
  • The Body Shop: 28.6%
  • Others: 0.1%

The accounting practices for each segment are described in Note 3 of these annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019.

27.1 Share-based Payment

The Board of Directors meets annually in order to establish the share-based payment plans, as approved by the Shareholders Meeting, indicating the Managers and employees who may receive stock options to purchase or subscribe to shares of the Company and the total number to be distributed.

Stock-based payment plans were originally awarded considering Natura's shares that were traded at B3. However, as part of the corporate restructuring (Note 1), on December 18, 2019 the Company began trading its own shares instead of Natura's shares. As a result, Natura's shares originally granted were replaced on this date by the Company's shares. Such a modification did not impact the executives and the respective plans.

Options granted in 2019

On April 12, 2019, the Board of Directors of Natura approved the Stock Option plan, the Restricted Stock plans and the Strategy Acceleration Stock Option plans for 2019. As such, the Company started recording the related provisions this month.

On May 21, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the 2019 Share-Based Compensation Plan, based on the performance, for 2019 and as such, the Company started recording the related provisions this month. This plan consists of granting common shares of the Company to a group of employees and, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the participants will fully receive the shares under the Share-Based Compensation Plan if: (i) the participant remains an employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries until the 3rdanniversary of the grant date; and (ii) the performance conditions are met. For certain participants, there is a special condition for item (i) above, in which 50% of shares under the Share-Based Compensation Plan will be acquired on the 3rdanniversary of the grant date and the remaining 50% on the 4thanniversary of the grant date.

The changes in the number of outstanding stock options and their related weighted-average prices, as well as variations in the amount of restricted shares are as follows:

  1. Allocation of operating profit from sales of "Crer para Ver" line ofnon-cosmetic products to Natura Institute, specifically directed to social projects for developing the quality of education.
  2. Refers to the requirement of ICMS tax substitution, for different states, see details in note 18. During 2019 fiscal year, provisions were reversed due to the revision of the likelihood of loss of certain States.
  3. Refers to the revenue from the sale of securities portfolio of customers overcome over 180 days, net of legal costs with lawsuits filed by debtors against the company acquiring the portfolio. Proceeds from the sale of portfolio, as well as reimbursement of legal costs, are received afterwrite-off of overdue securities.
  4. Expenses related to the implementation of the transformation plan of The Body Shop, which is supported by five pillars, namely:
    (1) renewal of the brand; (2) optimization of retail operations; (3) improvement of omni-channel; (4) improvement of operating efficiency; and (5) redesign of the organization.
  5. Tax credits from prior periods related to the change in PIS and COFINS taxation in 2019.

Since 2007, the Company is legally authorized to pay contributions excluding ICMS, but the balance ICMS has been provisioned for as Taxes Payable. On September 30, 2017, based on the conclusion from the judgment made by the Plenary Session of the Federal Supreme Court on the Extraordinary Appeal, with general repercussion in society, which ruled unconstitutional the inclusion of ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation base, the Company reverted the tax obligation. On December 31, 2019, the Company recognized principal credit of R$52,631, which is no longer a contingent asset, arising from the final and unappealable decision (see note 10).

30. EARNINGS PER SHARE

30.1. Basic

Basic earnings per share for the Company are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted average of common in outstanding shares, less common shares bought back by the Company and held as treasury shares.

30.2. Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated for the Company by adjusting the weighted average outstanding common shares supposing that all potential common shares that would cause dilution are converted. For the Consolidated diluted earnings per share calculation, the accounting practice of the predecessor cost is used for the years ended 2019 and 2018 considering the number of shares existing at the end of the restructuring. The Company has only one category of common shares that would potentially cause dilution: the stock options, restricted actions and strategy acceleration.

Areport such as this is, by definition, a journey through time. Delimited by projects, facts, actions and results achieved over the course

of 12 months, it is underpinned by the unalterable past and by the future that beckons. As such, the situations described and the numerical expressions in it dialogue with what has been and present that which will be. For Natura, 2019 will go down as one of its most unforgettable years, in which we celebrated many achievements.

The first of these is the 50th anniversary of a company built in collaboration with millions of people, who believed in a dream that seemed unreachable. The paradox we have lived through is remarkable when compared with the predatory, insensitive and alienated nature of certain aspects of modern life. Natura developed by discovering meaning and disseminating purpose through its commitment to pursue happier individual lives and a fairer society, to preserve the planet... In short, to create a better world. Our union with Aesop and The Body Shop in recent years represented unequivocal signs of our international expansion beyond Latin America. Under the umbrella of the Natura &Co group, we united di•erent identities and business models, brought together by strong purpose, activism and ethical principles.

In May 2019, we announced the historical agreement to acquire Avon, which was concluded in January 2020. This 134 year-old company, which invented the direct selling model in cosmetics and is one

of the best known brands on the planet, is now part of Natura &Co. This acquisition has expanded

the group's reach to 200 million customers in 100 countries. In addition to a myriad of new business opportunities, it also opens up the possibility to extend advocacy for the causes we hold dear - now with louder and more powerful voice particularly in the fight for women's rights, lending due value to their participation in the construction of society.

Natura &Co and Avon embody the transformational power of the positive cultivation of human relationships, the basis of the direct selling phenomenon, now reaching 6 million people, hungry for better business opportunities, personal development, knowledge and greater self-esteem

  • both for themselves and for their circle of relationships. This strength is further boosted by all the advances implemented in Natura's commercial model, including heightened digital capabilities and a multichannel experience for our customers. In a 2019 full of celebrations no energy was spared, in concluding Natura &Co´s transformation process, to reinvigorate The Body Shop and to further boost Aesop's significant growth trajectory.

At 50, we are at the apex of a generous cycle. In parallel, with Avon at our side, we are initiating an exciting new chapter. Now significantly larger, we have taken on the challenge of being the best for the world at a time when, more than ever, companies are expected to be agents of change - a trait which constitutes the basis of the DNA of all our companies.

In unfortunate counterpoint to our brilliant year, the world witnessed a number of serious, life-

and with distinct causes, these phenomena are examples of the resulting tragedy of climate change. Regardless of the fact that the a•ected regions are of great importance to Natura and to The Body Shop, which maintain close relationships with communities in the Amazon, and to Aesop, founded in Melbourne and present in various cities in Australia, these episodes are a glaring reminder that life on the planet is ever more vulnerable.

It is time for companies, governments and civil society to adopt clear positions and take on responsibilities. It is in this context that, in July, Natura &Co became one of the first companies to join the Business Ambition for 1.5ºC, a UN Global Compact commitment aimed at limiting global temperature rise. In line with this commitment, the organisers

of the World Economic Forum urged companies participating in the 2020 edition, held in Davos, to eliminate their carbon emissions by 2050. This surprising rise in awareness has lifted our spirits and confirmed that Natura &Co are ahead of the curve when it comes to generating a positive impact.

"The sunrise is slow, but it advances", a poet once said. Having faith in the increasing global solidarity, we plan to continue to run our companies. Contemplating the past, we are proud of the way that these four businesses, traveling parallel paths, developed and, in due time, encountered each other. Looking ahead, we are profoundly optimistic about the prospects for a group in which each brand preserves its identity and manifests its essence, while demonstrating the power of its strengths. This sum of energies will certainly be fundamental in our pursuit of building the best beauty company FOR the world. n

Message from the CEOs

Distinct identities, a common purpose

Angela Cretu (Avon), David Boynton (The Body

Shop), João Paulo Ferreira (Natura &Co Latin

America) and Michael O'Kee•e (Aesop)

2019 was a year of transformation, in which we laid the foundations for our next 50 years. We established Natura &Co as a platform for companies committed to generating positive impact, through innovative business practices. We also took the first steps in welcoming Avon into our family.

We saw robust performance, demonstrating the enormous capacity this union has to generate value. We learned, throughout the year, that together we are stronger and more creative, and that we can have a louder and more powerful voice and be heard even farther afield, especially when we need to act in the face of global challenges, such as the climate crisis. We also built knowledge and worked collaboratively, reinforcing the interdependencies of our businesses while still honoring their autonomy. Natura became responsible for

The Body Shop's operations in Latin America, to leverage local results through its regional know-how. At the same time, through The Body Shop's global franchise model, Natura launched in Malaysia, expanding its geographical presence to 10 countries.

Natura celebrated its 50th anniversary reinforcing its essence to consumers

and consultants. By inviting everyone to create beauty, it hopes to leverage the power of society as an agent of change, at a time when there is a need for dialogue in order to build the society we want for the future. Natura maintained its leadership position in the cosmetics market in Brazil and is the preferred brand for consumers in four of the six countries in which it operates directly in Latin America. Natura´s Carbono Neutro Program was awarded the United Nations' Global Climate Action Award, recognizing the company as one of the world's leading players in combating climate change.

2019 was another important year for The Body Shop as it continues its transformation journey; putting its purpose to work to "fight for a fairer and more beautiful world." A highlight was joining the growing community of B-Corp companies united in driving positive change.

The Body Shop's brand rejuvenation program saw its new concept store open in London, creating a much more experiential, sustainable space for customers to engage with products and learn about its activist focus. The Body Shop will strengthen

our sustainability credentials by rolling out this concept more broadly in 2020, along with new refill stations. The Body Shop will also ramp up

its Community Fair Trade recycled plastic initiative, designed to tackle the plastic crisis di•erently through a social mobility partnership with waste pickers in India.

Aesop ended the year in a strong position, with numerous achievements to note. Despite challenging trade conditions linked to socio-political factors, our retail and digital sales saw healthy increases and we achieved commercial goals that were almost unimaginable just a few years ago.

2019 was a pivotal year in Aesop's transformation into a triple bottom line business. Our e•orts in sustainable packaging design, company-wide volunteering, community product donations, employee engagement and development of the Foundation have really moved the dial in our aim to care for each other and the world around us.

Looking ahead, the possibilities for cooperation within Natura &Co will grow exponentially with the

arrival of Avon, with its millions of representatives and customers, and thousands of associates worldwide. We hope to create the ideal environment to transform Avon's business and increase the positive impact for women around the world, in a new chapter in its history. As part of the Natura &Co family, Avon will work to inject new energy into its iconic brand, deepen the digitalization of its business and expand the possibilities of its network.

At the same time, Natura &Co gains a louder voice to defend its causes, including women's empowerment, climate crisis, cosmetics free from animal testing and cooperation with local communities.

Understanding the challenges and opportunities imposed by the 21st century on a group with a significantly broader scale requires a di•erent type of leadership; one that is more representative, engaged and committed to positive impact. We begin 2020 thrilled by what

the future holds. We know that the lessons learned on this journey will be enormous, but together we are confident that we will find a common path towards a more prosperous and fairer future. n

2019 performance

Strategy

Faced with a challenging conjuncture in various regions in which we operate, Natura &Co successfully generated solid results in the economic, social and environment spheres during the course of 2019. "The achievements over the year demonstrate the power of the purpose-driven group that we are creating, which gained yet another powerful lever with the arrival of Avon. We are on the right track towards building not only the best beauty group in the world, but also the best beauty group for the world", states Roberto Marques, executive chairman of the Natura &Co Board of Directors and the group's CEO.

During the year, we saw strong sales and income performance, driven by the growth of all businesses during the period. Consolidated net revenue was R$ 14.4 billion1, growing 7.8% compared to the same period last year. Natura &Co's adjusted2Ebitda in 2019 was R$ 2.0 billion, while consolidated net income reached R$ 190.9 million.

At Natura, the ongoing development of the commercial model continues to deliver excellent results, now also available in Colombia, Mexico and Argentina. Growth in net revenue in 2019 was 6.7% compared with 2018. Additionally, Natura was recognised as a global leader in the fight against climate change, receiving the United Nations Global Climate Action Award.

The Body Shop net revenue increased by 6.3% in 2019, particularly in the United Kingdom, demonstrating the recovery of brand positioning in its largest market, and in Australia, due to the good performance of its The Body Shop At Home business model.

Similarly, Aesop showed significant expansion, with a 22.5% increase in net revenue in 2019, driven by the opening of 20 exclusive signature stores during the year and higher sales across digital channels, particularly in Asia.

Natura &Co also stepped up its commitment to set a new level of climate ambition, and made its first socioenvironmental commitment as a group by signing the "Business Ambition for 1.5°C: Our Only Future" campaign. As part of this commitment, Natura &Co pledged to limit its contribution to global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and reaching net-zero emissions by no later than 2050.

2019

The acquisition of Avon, announced in May 2019 and concluded in January 2020, created the fourth largest pure-play beauty group in the world. Providing a complementary portfolio of products to 200 million customers through over 6.3 million Consultants and Representatives, 3,500 stores and digital platforms.

The synergies to be gained, which are estimated to reach an annual level of between US$ 200 million and US$ 300 million in three years, will allow us to invest in the expansion of each brand, particularly in areas such as research and development, digitalization and marketing.

In Latin America, where our businesses have poasted a strong performance, the new group structure will allow us to leverage our combined presence in households through the region, while expanding the number of entrepreneurs who sell both Avon and Natura products.

During the course of 2019, Natura, The Body Shop and Aesop made important progress in sharing expertise and know-how in experiences, processes and innovations through our Sustainability, Retail and Digital Networks of Excellence.

We also held our first strategic group retreat, during which Natura &Co's Board of Directors, and company leadership met to discuss the development of the businesses as well as the global macro environment, setting integrated group goals over the coming years.

With the arrival of Avon, Natura &Co will have a louder and more powerful voice with which to advocate for our causes, including women's empowerment, climate action, the banning of animal testing in cosmetics and local community development.

DISTRIBUTION

OF DIVIDENDS

On November 1, 2019, Natura Cosméticos S.A., now a Natura &Co Holding subsidiary, announced the distribution of interests on capital ("IOC") in the amount of R$ 110.7 million to its shareholders, corresponding to R$0.12784527353 per share, relating to the period from January 1 through October 31, 2019. Shares began trading "ex-IOC" on November 7, 2019, and the corresponding payment occurred on February 26, 2020. This distribution was equivalent to the mandatory minimum dividend payable by Natura Cosmeticos,as per its by-laws.

Governance

The Natura &Co corporate governance structure underwent a series of alterations in 2019 following the Avon acquisition.

The all-share transaction, concluded in January 2020, resulted in the creation of the Natura &Co Holding Company, which took over full control of both Avon and Natura Cosméticos S.A., which in turn controls Aesop and The Body Shop. The incorporation

of Natura Cosméticos shares was concluded on December 17, 2019, following shareholder approval in an Extraordinary General Meeting. As a result, Natura Cosmeticos shareholders received shares issued

by Natura &Co, under the NTCO3 ticker symbol. In January 2020, Natura &Co also began trading on the New York Stock Exchange through ADRs (American Depositary Receipts).

In line with the new group structure the composition of the Board of Directors was altered, with the appointment of three new members, formally from the now disbanded Avon Board: Nancy Killefer, former senior associate at McKinsey & Company; Andrew G. McMaster Jr., former executive vice president of Deloitte & Touche LLP; and W. Don Cornwell, former Lead Director of the Avon

Board and former CEO of Granite Broadcasting Corporation. Earlier in 2019, Ian Bickley joined the board, bringing to the group his in-depth knowledge of the dynamics of the Southeast Asian markets.

Silvia Lagnado stepped down from the Board in February 2020 following her appointment to the Group Operations Committee (GOC). Her replacement will be announced in due course.

The Board is copresided by Luiz Seabra, Guilherme Leal and Pedro Passos. Roberto Marques, executive chairman of the Board, continues to lead the GOC, in addition to taking on expanded responsibilities as group CEO. The GOC is comprised of CEOs of the business units: Angela Cretu, CEO of Avon; João Paulo Ferreira, CEO of Natura &Co Latin America (responsible for Natura, as well as operations of the four brands in Latin America); David Boynton, CEO of The Body Shop, and Michael O'Kee•e, CEO of Aesop. Representatives of key areas, such as finance, operations and legal are also members of the GOC.

Management commentary:

Roberto Marques, Natura &Co Group CEO and Executive Chairman of the Board of Natura &Co declared:

make significant progress in building a multi-brand,multi-channel,purpose-driven group that has now become the

-largest pure play beauty company.

We are very pleased with our performance in Q4, which also marks the first reporting of Natura &Co Holding S.A., the newly-formed Group parent company designed to integrate Avon and position us for future growth.

Our performanceadjusted EBITDA and Underlying Operating Income accelerated in the fourth quarter, with stronger cash generation. Our results continue to demonstrate our ability to serve an ever-increasing number of customers across price points and distribution channels. Natura posted further growth while evolving its Relationship Selling model and multichannel strategy; The Body Shop continued to successfully implement its ongoing transformation plan

of solid double-digit growth. This solid performance puts us on track to achieve our medium term targets.

The year 2019 was of course marked by the announcement of our acquisition of Avon, which we successfully closed ahead of schedule just after the New Year. With this transaction, we are taking another transformational step, creating a leading direct-to-consumer global beauty group with unparalleled reach and a unique portfolio of global brands. We announced a new organizational structure to ensure a successful integration and leverage the full capabilities of the Group. We continue to see major growth opportunities and potential to unlock significant synergies.

The year also saw the group make further advances in its sustainability agenda, in line with our triple bottom rbon emissions, won

fight climate change. The Body Shop became a B-Corp, joining Natura and a select group of companies that promote changes in society through ethical and sustainable business activities. And Aesop, which is also on the path to B-Corp certification, continued its progress towards a Circular Economy through initiatives to reduce plastic consumption.

With Avon, we are creating a group that is even more committed to making positive social, economic and environmental impact, with a stronger voice to advocate for causes that matter to us. Together, we have started our journey to build not the best beauty company in the world, but the best beauty company FOR the world.

Natura &Co is monitoring the coronavirus situation closely and taking measures to ensure the safety and well- being of its associates and partners. The situation is evolving daily, but at this stage it has not had a material impact on our business, partly due to our lower exposure than our peers to Asia, and we are working to mitigate any potential supply chain impacts.

We look forward to sharing more about our plans and goals and progress on the integration of Avon, which is

Q4-19 consolidated net revenue in BRL grew by 7.3% year-on-year, driven by all three businesses. At Natura, net revenue in Brazilgrew 3.0% in Q4-19, despite a weak CFT market and a very challenging comparable base (Q4-18 revenue grew 11.2%, the highest Q4 growth since 2010), with growth in all channels. In Latam, revenue grew 10.6% in BRL (+28.9% at constant currency), supported by higher volumes, an increase in the consultant base, higher productivity and accelerating growth in Argentina, outpacing inflation. The Body Shoprevenue increased 6.7% in BRL (-1.2% at constant currency). Aesopposted 25.7% revenue growth in BRL in Q4- 19 (+13.4% at constant currency).

Consolidated EBITDA

Q4 consolidated EBITDA in BRL was R$744.5 million and adjusted consolidated EBITDA (see reconciliation on page 4) was R$816.7 million, with margin of 17.6% (+80 bps).

R$15.9 million related to

intangible assets.

s Q4 EBITDA margin was 20.5% (+100

bps), helped by higher gross margin, while

s margin was 10.7% (+10 bps) on continued improvement of

operational efficiency, despite continued gross margin pressure from a weaker Argentine peso. The Bodys EBITDA margin was 16.0% (+50 bps), and adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.4% in Q4-19 (+20 bps), despite

the impact of ongoing events in Hong Kong. Aesop

7.5% (+360 bps) vs. Q4-18, given

improved operational leverage.

Financial income and expenses

Net financial expenses were R$251.7 million in Q4-19, vs. R$107.6 million in Q4-18. The increase in financial expenses is mainly due to financing costs associated with the Avon acquisition of R$115.1 million (recorded at both Natura Cosméticos S.A. for R$74.6 million, and Natura &Co Holding S.A., for R$40.5 million).

Interest expense on borrowings and financing and short-term investments decreased by 21.5% due to lower CDI interest rate in Brazil in Q4.

In 2019, total net financial expenses were R$752.5 million, compared with R$583.3 million in 2018, mainly due to Avon acquisition-related financing costs of R$167.8 million (recorded at both Natura Cosméticos S.A. for R$127.3 million, and Natura &Co Holding S.A., for R$40.5 million).

  2. (Internal cash generation) +/- (changes in working capital andlong-term assets and liabilities) - (acquisitions of property, plant, and equipament)

Cash outflow in Q4-19 was R$802.6 million, vs. R$708.7 million in Q4-18 (+13.2%). This is mainly attributable to improved working capital at Natura Brazil and Latam, from lower accounts receivable and inventories.

Continued deleveraging: net debt-to-EBITDA ratio reduced to 2.41x in Q4-19 from 2.71x in Q4-18

We are on track to achieve our target of reducing

leverage to the pre-Body Shop

acquisition level of 1.4 times by 2021. This measure is comparable to previous periods.

  1. Foreign currency debt hedging instruments, excluding themark-to-market effects

On December 16, 2019, Natura &Co Holding S.A. issued promissory notes with restricted placement efforts, totalling R$2.9 billion, in two series of R$2.2 billion and R$700.0 million, with a maturity of up to 365 days. The

proceeds were raised for the payment of the total amount of the redemption of preferred shares C series, issued by Avon Products, Inc., as well as costs and expenses related to the acquisition of Avon.

On January 3, 2020, the holders of preferred shares C series opted for the conversion into Natura &Co ordinary shares, for the principal amount and a cash payment of US$91.5 million (approximately R$360.0 million) for the accrued dividends. This cash payment was drawn from the first series and the balance of approximately R$1.8 billion was prepaid. The second series of R$700 million remains outstanding.

As a result of this issuance, 68.9% of the companydebt is now long-term, with an average maturity of 2.6 years.

2. Performance by business

Natura Brazil: Revenue growth on a very challenging comparable base

net revenue growth of 3.0% in Q4-19 represents a very strong performance, coming against a very challenging comparable base as Q4-18 posted the highest quarterly growth (+11.2%) since 2010 and the best-ever Christmas campaign. In 2019, net revenue grew by 4.0% vs. 2018. The growth in the gift and fragrance categories resulted in a favorable mix in the quarter and the year, which explains lower volumes, given that a gift set counts as one item despite the bundling of multiple items, while fragrance has a higher price point.

For the 13thconsecutive quarter, we saw consultant productivity rise. The average consultant base was up by 1.8% vs. Q4-18, reaching 1.1 million consultants. Progression towards the top tier segments (Silver, Gold and Diamond) of our Relationship Selling model continued to improve strongly.

The number of consultants using our digital platforms (app + web) rose to over 900,000, boosted by new features in the app and the adoption of the Natura digital account. Of these, over 700,000 have virtual

consultant stores in Rede Natura, a 75% increase versus last year, as a result of the convergence program initiated in June. The increase in virtual stores contributed to double-digit growth in online sales, with a significant increase in the number of visits and customized offers.

We launched another 9 own stores in the quarter, all under the new concept, totaling 58 stores (+22 vs. Q4-18). Strong like-for-like sales, combined with sales in newly-opened stores, resulted in a near-doubling in retail net revenue.

Our franchise stores Aqui Tem Naturaaccelerated sell-out sales in Q4, on the back of strong double-digit like- for-like growth. Another 100+ stores were launched in the period, bringing the total to just over 400, doubling the number versus the same period last year.

The quarter saw the relaunch of our Una brand, a premium line that includes make-up, fragrances and nail polish that combine the use of Brazilian bio-diversity ingredients to treat the skin, with high-end technology, long-lasting and sophisticated packaging. Our innovation index reached 58.4% (-150 bps), in line with our expectations, considering innovation phasing and a focus on extending the life cycle of existing hero products.

Natura Latam: Double-digit revenue and EBITDA growth

In Q4, revenue was up 10.6% in BRL. In constant currency

a robust 28.9%. In the year,

revenue was up 13.5 % (+23.9% at constant currency).

The number of consultants grew 9.2% vs. Q4-18, and units sold increased by 29.0%, led by Argentina, with continued strong revenue growth in Mexico and Colombia as well. Argentina maintained its strong sales momentum, with top line growth above inflation, despite a challenging macro-economic environment. Natura became the leader in brand preference in Argentina and ranked first in four out of the five countries in the region. We were able to quickly scale the implementation of mobile platforms and have achieved almost 100% utilization by consultants (app + web), contributing to significant growth in consultant productivity.

Excluding IFRS 16 impacts

SG&A reached 52.8% of net revenue in the quarter, a decrease of 60bps versus Q4-18, thanks to our continued efforts to improve operational efficiency. In the year, these expenses reached 52.7% of net revenue, vs. 53.4% in 2018 (-70 bps), confirming the businessoperating leverage.

EBITDA was R$87.3 million in Q4-19 (+11.5%), resulting in an EBITDA margin of 10.7% (+10 bps), due to lower gross margin, mainly from the strong depreciation of the Argentine peso.

2019 EBITDA was R$372.1 million (+8.9%), with EBITDA margin of 13.0% (-60 bps).

The Body Shop: Strong EBITDA growth and EBITDA margin expansion

In Q4, The Body Shop posted net revenue of R$1,436.8 million, growing by 6.7% in BRL (-1.2% at constant currency). The drop in constant currency was due to the net closing of 24 own stores in the last twelve months and the ongoing sales deceleration in Hong Kong. Excluding Hong Kong, Q4 net revenues grew 0.4% in constant currency.Australia and the UK were highlights, up 14.0% and 5.4% respectively in the quarter, supported by retail growth and double-digit growth in At-Home sales. In 2019, net revenues grew 6.3% in BRL and 0.7% at constant currency (+2.4% excluding Hong Kong), while the UK posted strong 8.8% growth.

EBITDA in Q4-19 reached R$229.3 million, growing by 9.8% vs. Q4-18, with margin of 16.0% (+50 bps). Q4 adjusted EBITDA (excluding transformation costs and intangible assets write-offs related to agreements with

12

sub-franchisees in Brazil) was R$263.9 million, resulting in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.4% (+20 bps), despite the events in Hong Kong. In 2019, EBITDA was R$399.5 million, with margin of 9.7% (+180 bps), reaching the 2019 EBITDA margin guidance of 10% to 11%. FY 2019 Adjusted EBITDA was R$467.0 million, with margin of 11.3% (+90 bps). However, nominal EBITDA, at £77.3 million, was 6% below the low-end of our 2019 nominal EBITDA guidance of £82 million to £86 million. This is mainly due to lower than expected EBITDA in Hong Kong, as a result of the ongoing social unrest that has impacted consumer spending in this traditionally very profitable market for the company. Excluding Hong Kong, adjusted EBITDA margin would have been 18.9% in Q4 and 11.5% in 2019.

3. Social and environmental performance

Natura is the first beauty company in Brazil to earn the Green Patent from INPI National Institute of Industrial Property, for the use of residues from Brazilian biodiversity assets as inputs in its production process. Natura will have the exclusive use of the patent for several years. The company also installed over 19,000 square feet of latest-generation solar panels in one of its administrative buildings. To date, this is the largest of its kind in the world. The technology uses organic photovoltaic cells, which have superior efficiency and reduced environment impact, made of organic, non-toxic and recyclable materials.

program. At Christmas, The Body Shop partnered with Plan International as part of the

campaign. A total of £250,000 was donated to Plan International to support two bespoke vocational projects in Indonesia and Brazil. The projects will provide training skills to young girls and help them find employment.

Aesop made great strides towards obtaining B-Corp certification, submitting a pre-screen assessment and completing a gap analysis and project plan for 2020. The company completed its inaugural global waste audits for offices and stores and an estimated 146 tons of waste were recovered by retail and office operations.

5. IFRS 16 impacts - Leases

As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the accounting standard CPC 06(R2)/ IFRS 16 Leases, which introduces one single lessee accounting model, replacing the previous accounting standards of operating and financing lease arrangements. IFRS 16 aims at determining whether a contract contains a lease arrangement or is a service agreement. If the former, a lessee should recognize assets, which have to be depreciated, as well by Natura, The Body Shop and Aesop, as well as distribution centers and administrative facilities for Natura Latam. For more information, please see explanatory notes 3.29 and 17 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended on December 31, 2019.

The table below demonstrates the impacts of IFRS 16 on the reported income statement.

To align reporting standards between Avon and Natura &Co, certain expenses were reclassified between line items in the P&L, and all items that had previously been categorized as non-GAAP,non-recurring adjustments to revenue and profit are consolidated into Other Operating Income (expense) within SG&A.

Adjustments were made to reflect differences between IFRS and US GAAP accounting standards application, including in areas such as leases, hyperinflation, pensions and income tax. These adjustments have no net impact on operating profit in 2019.
