Disclosure of basis of consolidation [text block] BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
a)    Statement of compliance with IFRS and basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical costs basis, except for the subsidiary in Argentina that is adjusted for inflation as required by IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies and derivative financial instruments which have been measured at fair value.
The consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issue by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and publication by the Company's Management and Audit Committee of the Company on November 28, 2023.
The preparation of financial statements under IFRS as issued by the IASB requires the use of certain key accounting estimates. IFRS also requires Management to exercise judgment throughout the process of applying the Atento Group’s accounting policies. Note 3 discloses the areas requiring a more significant degree of judgment or complexity and the areas where assumptions and estimates are more relevant to the consolidated financial statements. Also, Note 3 contains a detailed description of the most significant accounting policies used to prepare these consolidated financial statements.
The amounts in these consolidated financial statements, comprising the consolidated statements of financial position, the consolidated statements of operations, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss), the consolidated statements of changes in negative equity, the consolidated statements of cash flows, and the notes thereto are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.
Going Concern
The Consolidated Financial Statement has been prepared in accordance with the going concern basis of accounting.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company presented negative shareholder equity amounting to $348.9 million, net loss amounting $295.6 million and negative working capital amounting $52.4 million. Additionally, the finance costs associated with the Company’s debt and the change in fair value of derivatives, that totaled $182.5 million in 2022 and accounted for a substantial share of the Company´s total finance expenses, has been influenced by the Brazilian risk-free interest rate (“SELIC”) which substantially increased from 2% in January 2021 to 12.6% by the end of 2022. Additionally, the challenges related to the sector in which the group operates, including inflationary cost pressures, the post-pandemic macroeconomic challenges, disruption from technology adoption, and the reputational damage suffered after the cyberattack that occurred in 2021, caused additional pressure on Company’s margins and an increased risk of cash short falls beginning 2023.
Further, during the first half of 2023, the Company faced additional liquidity challenges affecting its ability to meet its obligations, including:
§Fitch Ratings downgraded Atento Luxco 1 S.A.'s Long-Term Foreign Currency Issuer Default Rating from 'B+' to 'B-'. Additionally, Atento's USD 500 million senior secured notes due 2026 were downgraded to 'B-'/'RR4' from 'B+'/'RR4', and Atento Brasil S.A.'s long-term National Scale Rating was lowered to 'B(bra)' from 'A-(bra)'.
§The Company's level of indebtedness and debt commitments, including a $70 million loans and borrowings due in 2023 and payments related to Senior Secured Notes interest and coupon-only cross-currency swaps amounting to a total of $49 million in February and $46 million in August.
§Atento's available credit facilities with financial institutions were restricted in 2023 due to rating downgrades and the Company's financial health.
§Atento encountered a decline in cash and cash equivalents, resulting in postponed payments to specific supplier groups and tax obligations owed to tax authorities.
§Operational performance declined, especially due to reduced volumes resulting from the termination of low-margin contracts, currency devaluation in emerging markets, and implementation delays with new clients, impacting new-year projections.
§Certain covenants were breached: (a) failure to provide certain financial reporting on a timely basis, (b) non-payment of a loan outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility agreement dated 23 December 2021, (c) failure to comply with certain cost reimbursement requirements, and (d) non-compliance with a cash variance covenant applicable to certain debt instruments.
Such conditions and events casted substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In response to these financial difficulties, the Company engaged financial advisors to assist with the raising of additional capital and financing and the formulation of a long-term, financially viable solution for the Company. There has been a series of financial support events including the issuance of new Notes amounting $39,6 in February 2023 (the “2025 Notes”), the implementation of a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) followed by a financial restructuring plan between the Company and an Ad-Hoc Group of supportive Holders of the Company´s debt (see note 31).
Implementation of the Financial Restructuring Plan:
The purpose of the Restructuring Plan is to provide a financial restructuring that stabilizes the Company, right-sizes and deleverages the Company’s capital structure, and returns the Company to sustainable financial health. The Restructuring Plan was contemplated in two general phases; the first involved the provision of an interim financing on June 30, 2023 (the “Interim Financing Date”), as a bridge to the phase 2; which is the comprehensive financing restructuring of the company.
The phase 1, the Interim Financing, was provided by the Issuance of new money by Ad-Hoc Group of financial stakeholders and was set to be drawn in three tranches. The first tranche amounting $17 million was drawn on June 30, 2023; the second tranche amounting additional $17 million was drawn on July 31, 2023; the third tranche amounting additional $3 million was drawn on August 31, 2023 all of them followed by the satisfaction of certain conditions including the execution of RSA (collectively, the “New Money 2025 Notes”).
The phase 2, the comprehensive financial restructuring, is an in-court restructuring process there was introduced under the UK Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 and is provided for under part 26A of the Companies Act 2006. The restructuring plan was successfully sanctioned via in-court process on November 17, 2023 and effective on November 27, 2023. The final restructuring plan resulted in:
§New financing of $76 million ("Exit Financing") provided by a way of subscription of preferred shares in the Reorganized Company. Additionally, the providers of the Exit Financing received ordinary shares representing in aggregate 97,45% of the fully diluted ordinary shares of the Reorganized Company.
§The outstanding liability amounts under the Senior Secured Notes 2026 and Derivative Financial Instrument ($505.8 million and $127.7 million, respectively at December 31, 2022) were fully extinguished in exchange for the issuance of ordinary shares to the debt holders, representing in aggregate 2.25% of the fully diluted ordinary share capital of the Reorganized Company.
§The outstanding liability amounts under Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility ($44.1 million at December 31, 2022), was fully extinguished with a final payment of $1.8 million in cash.
§The 2025 Notes and the New Money 2025 Notes were amended to extend the original maturity dates.
The other debts with third parties ($194 million outstanding as of December 2022) were not part of the Restructuring plan.
As result of the implemented Restructuring Plan, the “Reorganized Company” (reorganization of the Issuer upon consummation of the Restructuring) has new Institutional Investors that will take the control of the “Reorganized company” at the Restructuring effective date.
For further details on the Restructuring Plan see Note 31.
Management believes that the completed Restructuring Plan significantly strengthens the Company’s financial position and ensures a stable platform for future growth. Based on management’s liquidity assessment, considering the successful implementation of the Restructuring Plan in 2023, specifically the significant deleveraging through the extinguishment of its debts and the additional liquidity obtained through additional capital and financing received amounting to $113 million, together with Company’s available cash and cash equivalents, the Company will be able to meet its working capital requirements in the ordinary course of business. Management concluded that the substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated.

b)    Consolidated statements of cash flows
The consolidated statements of cash flows have been prepared using the indirect method pursuant to IAS 7, “Statement of Cash Flows”. Foreign currency transactions are translated at the average exchange rate for the period, in those cases where the currency differs from the presentation currency of Atento Group (U.S. dollar), as indicated in Note 3 topic “c”. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents, maintained or owed, in foreign currency, is presented in the statements of cash flows to reconcile cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the year and at year-end.

Disclosure Of Significant Accounting Policies Abstract  
Disclosure of significant accounting policies [text block]
3)    ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The main accounting policies used to prepare the accompanying consolidated financial statements are set out below.
a)Principles of consolidation, business combinations and goodwill
(i)Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Atento Group has control. The Atento Group controls an entity when the Atento Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group, until the Group loses control of the entity.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between the Atento Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, except the effects arisising from exchange variations that is not eliminated for disclosure purpose. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. All subsidiaries adhere to and consistently comply with the policies adopted by the Atento Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statements of operations, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and financial position.
(ii)Business combinations and goodwill
When the Atento Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9. Other contingent consideration that is not within the scope of IFRS 9 is measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
Goodwill is initially measured as any excess of the total consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is greater than the total consideration transferred, the difference is recognized in the statements of operations as a gain from a bargain purchase. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or group of cash-generating units, which are expected to benefit from the synergies arising in the business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but it is tested for impairment annually or whenever there are certain events or changes in circumstances indicating potential impairment. The carrying amount of the assets allocated to each cash-generating unit is then compared with its recoverable amount, which is the greater of its value in use or fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss is immediately recognized in the statements of operations and cannot be reversed (see Note 3h).
b)    Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Atento Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars, which is the presentation currency of the Atento Group.
c)    Foreign currency translation
The results and financial position of all Atento Group entities whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follow:
Statements of financial position assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date.
Statements of operations items are translated at average exchange rates for the year (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions).
Hyperinflationary economies: Under IAS 29, the non-monetary assets and liabilities, the equity and the statements of operations of subsidiaries operating in hyperinflationary economies are restated applying a general price index. The financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, whether they are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach, shall be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period and translated to U.S. dollar at the closing rate of the period, for the purposes of conversion, applying IAS 21.
Proceeds and payments shown on the statements of cash flows are translated at the average exchange rates for the period (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case proceeds and payments are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions). Proceeds and payments for the subsidiary located in Argentina shown on the statements of cash flows are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date.
Retained earnings are translated at historical exchange rates.
All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss).
Goodwill and fair value adjustments to net assets arising from the acquisition of a foreign company are considered to be assets and liabilities of the foreign company and are translated at year-end exchange rates. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss).
d)    Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions or valuation date, in the case of items being remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of these transactions and from the translation at reporting date exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statements of operations, except when deferred in other comprehensive income/(loss).
All differences arising on non–trading activities are taken to other operating income/expense in the statements of operations, except of the effective portion of the differences on net investment hedges that are accounted for as an effective hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These differences are recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) (OCI) until the disposal of the net investment, at which time, they are recognized in the statements of operations. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in OCI.
The Company has non–monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency in which refers to lease’s agreements. These items are translated using the exchange rates as at the date of recognition.
e)    Segment information
Segment information is presented in accordance with management information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM, responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of operational segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) responsible for strategic decisions.
The CODM considers the business from a geographical perspective and analyzes it across three operational segments–EMEA, Americas and Brazil.
f)    Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost, less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
The intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed on a case-by-case basis to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life and assessed for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. The amortization charge on intangible assets is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under “Amortization”.
Amortization methods and useful lives are revised annually at the end of each reporting period and, where appropriate, adjusted prospectively.
Customer base
Customer base acquired in a business combination is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and have finite useful lives and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization, which has been estimated to be between seven and twelve years. The customer base relates to all agreements, tacit or explicit, entered into between the Atento Group and the former owner of the Atento Group and between the Atento Group and other customers, in relation to the provision of services, and that were acquired as part of the business combinations.
Software
Software is measured at cost (at acquisition or development costs) and amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life, generally estimated to be between three and five years. Maintenance cost of software is expensed as incurred.
Development costs directly attributable to the design and creation of software that are identifiable and unique, and that may be controlled by the Group, are recognized as an intangible asset providing the following conditions are met:
It is technically feasible for the intangible asset to be completed so that it will be available for use or sale.
Management intends to complete the asset for use or sale.
The Group has the capacity to use or sell the asset.
It is possible to show evidence of how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.
Adequate technical, financial and other resources are available to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.
The outlay attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably determined.
Directly attributable costs capitalized in the value of the software include the cost of personnel developing the programs.
Costs that do not meet the criteria listed above are recognized as an expense as incurred. An example of this is Software as a Service. The cloud computing is a model for delivering information technology services through web-based tools and applications. (SaaS). In such contracts, the customer generally does not obtain a software license or have a right to take possession of the software. The contract conveys to the customer the right to receive access to the supplier’s application software over the contract term. That right to receive access does not provide the customer with a software asset and, therefore, the access to the software is a service that the customer receives over the contract term.
g)    Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Acquisition costs include, when appropriate, the initial estimates of decommissioning, withdrawal, and site reconditioning costs when the Atento Group is obliged to bear this expenditure as a condition of using the assets. Repairs that do not prolong the useful life of the assets and maintenance costs are recognized directly in the statements of operations. Costs that prolong or improve the life of the asset are capitalized as an increase in the cost of the asset.
Property, plant and equipment acquired in a business combination are initially measured at fair value as of the acquisition date.
The Atento Group assesses the need to write down, if appropriate, the carrying amount of each item of property, plant and equipment to its period-end recoverable amount whenever there are indications that the assets’ carrying amount may not be fully recoverable through the generation of sufficient future revenue. The impairment allowance is reversed if the factors giving rise to the impairment cease to exist.
The depreciation charge for items of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under “Depreciation”.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset applying individual rates to each type of asset, which are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
The useful lives generally used by the Atento Group are as follow:
Years of Useful Life
Buildings
5 - 15
Plant and machinery
3 - 6
Furniture, tools
1 - 10
Other tangible assets
5 - 8
h)    Impairment of noncurrent assets
The Atento Group assesses as of each reporting date whether there is an indicator that a non-current asset may be impaired. If any such indicator exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (e.g., goodwill), the Atento Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell or its value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flow is discounted to its present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired. In this case, the carrying amount is written down to its recoverable amount, and the resulting loss is recognized in the statements of operations. Future depreciation/amortization charges are adjusted to reflect the asset’s new carrying amount over its remaining useful life. Management analyzes the impairment of each asset individually, except in the case of assets that generate cash flow which are interdependent on those generated by other assets (cash generating units – “CGU”).
The Atento Group bases the calculation of impairment on the business plans of the various cash generating units to which the assets are allocated. These business plans cover five years and is subjected annually for the Board of Directors approval. A long-term growth rate is calculated using a steady growth rate based on the gross domestic product external data available for the products, industries, or country or countries in which the entity operates, or for the market in which the asset is used and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.
When there are new events or changes in circumstances that indicate that a previously recognized impairment loss no longer exists or has been decreased, a new estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is made. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The reversal is limited to the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. This reversal is recognized in the statements of operations and the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to reflect the asset’s revised carrying amount. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
i)Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.
The Atento Group has classified all financial assets as amortized cost, except for derivative financial instruments.
All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the statement of financial position on the transaction date, i.e. when the commitment is made to purchase or sell the asset.
A financial asset is fully or partially derecognized from the statement of financial position only when:
1.The rights to receive cash flow from the asset have expired.
2.The Atento Group has assumed an obligation to pay the cash flow received from the asset to a third party or
3.The Atento Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flow from the asset to a third party, thereby substantially transferring all the risks and rewards of the asset.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis in the statement of financial position when a legally enforceable right exists to offset the amounts recognized and the Atento Group intends to settle the assets and liabilities net or to simultaneously realize the asset and cancel the liability.
Amortized cost financial assets include contractual agreements on future cash flow not listed in active markets and which are not derivatives. They are classified as current assets, except for those maturing more than twelve months after the reporting date, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus any transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. Interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognized under finance income in the statements of operations.
In compliance with IFRS 9 – “Financial Instruments”, the allowance for expected loss on trade receivables accounts was measured through a simplified approach, using historical data, projecting the expected loss over the contractual life, by customer and according to the respective maturity terms. In addition, for certain cases, the Company performs individual analyses to collect the receipt risks.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for the sale of services in the normal course of business. Receivables slated for collection in twelve months or less are classified as current assets; otherwise, the balances are considered non-current assets.
These are financial assets measured initially at fair value and subsequently, at amortized cost and are evaluated by the value of the services provided in accordance with the contractual conditions, net of estimated impairment losses. These include the services provided to customers, which were still not billed at the balance sheet date. In general, cash flow relating to short-term receivables is not discounted.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in banks, demand deposits and other highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Financial liabilities
Loans and Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recorded at the fair value of the consideration received, less any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between the cash received (net of transaction costs) and the repayment value is recognized in the statements of operations over the life of the debt. Loans and borrowings are non-current when the maturity date is longer than twelve months from the reporting date, or when the Atento Group has full discretion to defer settlement for at least another twelve months from that date.
Financial liabilities are derecognized in the statement of financial position when the respective obligation is settled, cancelled or matures.
Trade payables
Trade payables are payment obligations in respect of goods or services received from suppliers in the ordinary course of business. Trade payables falling due in twelve months or less are classified as current liabilities; otherwise, the balances are considered as non-current liabilities.
Recognized fair value measurements
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognized and measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.
As of December 31, 2022NotesLevel 1Level 2Total
Liabilities
Derivative financial instruments14— 127,707 127,707 
As of December 31, 2021NotesLevel 1Level 2Total
Assets
Derivative financial instruments14— 15,992 15,992 
Liabilities
Derivative financial instruments14— 55,948 55,948 
There were no transfers between levels for recurring fair value measurements during the year.
Below, Company describes an explanation of each level:
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
j)    Derivative financial instruments and hedging
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at their fair values on the date on which the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value.
Any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument are recorded in the statements of operations, except for the effective portion of net investment hedges, which is recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) and later reclassified to profit or loss when the hedge item affects the statements of operations.
At the inception of the derivative instrument contract, the Atento Group documents the relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and the strategy for groups of hedges. The Atento Group also documents its assessment, both at the inception of the hedge and throughout the term thereof, of whether the derivatives used are highly effective at offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flow of the hedged items.
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognized as a financial asset whereas a derivative with a negative fair value is recognized as a financial liability. Derivatives are not offset in the financial statements unless the Group has both a legally enforceable right and intention to offset.
For the purpose of hedge accounting the Atento Group designates derivatives as net investment hedges, which gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognized in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognized in the statements of operations. Gains and losses accumulated in equity are included in the statements of operations when the foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold.
k)    Share capital
The ordinary shares of the Company are classified in equity (see Note 19).
Issuance costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or options are deducted from the proceeds raised in equity, net of the tax effect.
l)    Treasury shares
Own equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Atento Group’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration, if reissued, is recognized in the share premium.
m)    Provisions
The Company is a party to a number of judicial and administrative proceedings, whose assessments of the likelihood of loss include an analysis 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 external lawyers. The Company classifies the risk of loss in legal proceedings as probable, possible, or remote. The provision recorded in relation to such lawsuits is set by the Company's Management, based on the analysis of its legal counsel, and reasonably reflects the estimated probable losses.
Provisions are recognized when the Atento Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions for restructuring include penalties for the cancellation of leases and other contracts, as well as employee termination payments. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
When the Atento Group is virtually certain that some or all of a provision is to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, a separate asset is recognized in the statement of financial position, and the expense relating to the provision is recorded in the statements of operations, net of the expected reimbursement.
Provisions are measured at the present value of expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation, using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks inherent to the obligation.
Contingent liabilities represent possible obligations to third parties, and existing obligations that are not recognized, given that it is not likely that an outflow of economic resources will be required in order to settle the obligation or because the amount cannot be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are not recognized on the consolidated statement of financial position unless they are recorded as part of a business combination.
For lawsuits of a massive labor nature, represented by high volume lawsuits with similar characteristics and low value, the provision is based on historical information, according to the calculation of the average payment ticket for the last two years, considering the procedural stage in which they occurred, and multiplied by the number of lawsuits in force at each stage process measured at each report date.
n)    Employee benefit
Share-based payments
Atento S.A. has a share-based compensation plan, under which the subsidiaries of Atento S.A. receive services from employees as consideration for the equity instruments of Atento S.A. on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and graded basis over the vesting period – depending on the Shared-based payments. The subsidiaries themselves are not party to any of the contracts; Atento S.A. settles these agreements. The plan offers various instruments (award agreements, stock options, restricted stock units, etc.), but some types of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have been granted to selected employees, as described in Note 19.
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the RSUs is recognized as an expense in the consolidated financial statements of Atento S.A. The total amount to be expensed is determined with reference to the fair value of the RSUs granted:
Including any market performance conditions (for example, an entity’s share price);
Excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time); and
Including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to save or hold shares for a specific period).
At the end of each reporting period, the group revises its estimates of the number of RSUs that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions and service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revisions to original estimates, if any, in the Consolidated statements of loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
When the RSUs vest, Atento S.A. issues new shares or buys them back in the market. The proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium.
The provision for social security contributions on share options is calculated based on the number of options outstanding at the reporting date that are expected to be exercised. The provision is based on the market price of the shares at the reporting date, which is the best estimate of the market price at the date of exercise.
Termination benefits
The Company has a post-employment health care plan to former employees retired by the Company who contributed for at least 10 years are guaranteed the right to remain on the Company's policy for life. These termination benefits are paid to employees when the Atento Group decides to terminate their employment contracts prior to the usual retirement age or when the employee agrees to resign voluntarily in exchange for these benefits. The Atento Group recognizes these benefits as an expense for the year, at the earliest of the following dates: (a) when the Atento Group is no longer able to withdraw the offer for these benefits; or (b) when the Atento Group company recognizes the costs of a restructuring effort as per IAS 37, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, and when this restructuring entails the payment of termination benefits. When benefits are offered in order to encourage the voluntary resignation of employees, termination benefits are measured on the basis of the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits to be paid in more than twelve months from the reporting date are discounted to their present value.
o)    Income tax
The income tax expense includes all the expenses and credits arising from the corporate income tax levied on all the Atento Group companies.
Income tax expenses for each period represent the aggregate amounts of current and deferred taxes, if applicable.
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amounts are those that are enacted at the reporting date in each country in which the Atento Group operates. The Atento Group determines deferred tax assets and liabilities by applying the tax rates that will be effective when the corresponding asset is received or the liability settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that are enacted (or substantively enacted) at the reporting date.
Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences arising from differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax credits and tax loss carryforwards.
The carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of that deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities associated with investments in subsidiaries and branches are not recognized when the timing of the reversal can be controlled by the parent company, and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax relating to items directly recognized in equity is also recognized in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from business combinations are added to or deducted from goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment
Atento Group reviewed the tax treatment under the terms of IFRIC 23 in all subsidiaries and as at the reporting date, the Group did not identify any material impact on the financial statements.
Atento Group implemented a process for periodically review the income tax treatments consistent under IFRIC 23 requirements across the Group.
p)    Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Atento Group principally generates revenue under contracts with customers for the provision of customer relationship management and business process (“CRM BPO”) services. Revenue from CRM BPO services is recognized over time as rendered, considering that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Company satisfies its performance obligation, and at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.
The contracts typically require the Atento Group to deliver CRM BPO services on behalf of customers such as responding to customer inquiries, completing back-office processes and providing technical support over channels such as voice, SMS, email, chats and social media. Atento’s contracts contain a series of distinct services which are provided over a period, are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, so the Company considers these as a single performance obligation. Average days sales outstanding (“DSO”) was 74 days for 2022 (70 days for 2021) and the average payment term was 30 days after invoicing. The Company recognizes revenue on an accrual basis during the period in which services are rendered, and for services delivered and not yet invoiced the Company recognizes unbilled revenue and trade receivables based on pricing contractually agreed by its customers and volume of services rendered.
Atento’s contracts generally contain service level agreements (SLAs), which are a form of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of service performance such as average time to answer calls, the average call length, customer satisfaction scores, quality scores and customer churn rate.
(i)Variable component
The variable component in contracts consists of bonus and penalties triggered by the achievement or breach of these agreed KPIs of service performance that have not been confirmed with the customer or that will be based on performance over periods in the future. Management estimates the amount of variable consideration by using the most likely amount method and recognizes variable consideration as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company applies this method consistently throughout the contract when estimating the effect of an uncertainty on the amount of variable consideration to which it will be entitled.
Management estimates variable consideration using actual data available to the Company at the time of monthly closing as well as the historical levels of achievement of the KPIs. For example, the application of performance bonuses or penalties based on average time to answer calls, average call length, customer satisfaction and quality scores are estimated based on data from the Company’s and customer’s systems about performance for these measures, while the application of performance bonuses or penalties based on end-customer churn rate, when applicable for specific contracts, are estimated based on available data from the Company’s and customer’s systems for these measures to the extent available and otherwise based on average historical achievement levels because the uncertainty for customer churn rate is resolved over a several months. The Company generally bills its customers monthly based on the actual consideration to which it is entitled for. As such, estimated revenue is recognized only for the last month of the reporting period. The Company performs controls to assess and identify any material differences between the estimated amounts and actual amounts which historically have been immaterial.
Some of Atento Group’s contracts include minimum monthly volume and minimum annual revenue commitments that require the customer to compensate the Group for a percentage of volumes and revenue shortfalls defined in the contracts. The variable component is estimated based on the forecasts of volume and revenue agreed with customers at inception of the contract and reviewed periodically, as well as the actual data available to the company used to determine if the Group should recognize revenue for a contract during the reporting period at either the minimum amount or based on price and volume.
(ii)Fixed component
For most of the contracts that include a fixed component to determine the amount of consideration the Group expects to be entitled, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided at the end of the reporting period, because the customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously based on the infrastructure made available to the customer. This could be determined based on the actual labor hours previously agreed with the customer or based on the number of workstations made available.
The Company undertakes activities in anticipation of winning a contract and during the proposal phase of bidding for a contract in order to properly customize the Company’s offering to the potential customer’s needs. The performance of those tasks does not transfer a service to the customer as performed and are not charged to the customer nor recovered, therefore, those activities are not a performance obligation and are recognized as an expense when incurred.
q)    Interest income and expenses
Interest expenses directly attributable to the construction of any qualified asset are capitalized during the time necessary to complete the asset and prepare it for the intended use. All other interest expenses are expensed as incurred.
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When a loan or a receivable has been impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount, discounting the estimated future cash flow at the instrument’s original effective interest rate and recognizing the discount as a decrease in interest income. Interest income on receivable is recognized when the cash is collected.
r)    Lease (as Lessee)
The Atento Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Atento Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
(i)Right-of-use assets
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
(ii)Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
(iii)Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less from the commencement date). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
s)    Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements under IFRS as issued by the IASB requires the use of certain assumptions and estimates that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Some of the accounting policies applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements required Management to apply significant judgments in order to select the most appropriate assumptions for determining these estimates. These assumptions and estimates are based on Management experience, the advice of consultants and experts, forecasts and other circumstances and expectations. Management’s evaluation considers the global economic situation in the sector in which the Atento Group operates, as well as the future outlook for the business. By virtue of their nature, these judgments are inherently subject to uncertainty. Consequently, actual results could differ substantially from the estimates and assumptions used. Should this occur, the values of the related assets and liabilities would be adjusted accordingly.
Although these estimates were made based on the best information available at each reporting date on the events analyzed, events that take place in the future might make it necessary to change these estimates in coming years. Changes in accounting estimates would be applied prospectively in accordance with the requirements of IAS 8, “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, recognizing the effects of the changes in estimates in the related consolidated statements of operations.
An explanation of the estimates and judgments that entail a significant risk of leading to a material adjustment in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities is as follow:
Impairment of goodwill
The Atento Group tests goodwill for impairment annually, in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 3h. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing as part of the cash-generating unit to which it has been allocated. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units defined in order to identify potential impairment in goodwill are determined on the basis of value in use, applying five-year financial forecasts based on the Atento Group’s strategic plans, approved and reviewed by Management. These calculations entail the use of assumptions and estimates, and require a significant degree of judgment. The main variables considered in the sensitivity analyses are growth rates, discount rates using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) and the key business variables.
Deferred taxes
The Atento Group assesses the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on estimates of future earnings. The ability to recover these deferred amounts depends ultimately on the Atento Group’s ability to generate taxable earnings over the period in which the deferred tax assets remain deductible. This analysis is based on the estimated timing of the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, as well as estimates of taxable earnings, which are sourced from internal projections.
The appropriate classification of tax assets and liabilities depends on a series of factors, including estimates as to the timing and realization of deferred tax assets and the projected tax payment schedule. Actual income tax receipts and payments could differ from the estimates made by the Atento Group as a result of changes in tax legislation or unforeseen transactions that could affect the tax balances (see Note 20).
The Atento Group has recognized deferred tax assets corresponding to losses carried forward since, based on internal projections, it is probable that it will generate future taxable profits against which they may be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of that deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Atento Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. This obligation may be legal or constructive, deriving from, regulations, contracts, customary practice, or public commitments that would lead third parties to reasonably expect that the Atento Group will assume certain responsibilities. The amount of the provision is determined based on the best estimate of the outflow of resources embodying economic benefit that will be required to settle the obligation, considering all available information as of the reporting date, including the opinions of independent experts such as legal counsel or consultants.
The Company classifies the risk of loss in legal proceedings as probable, possible, or remote. If the Company has lawsuits whose values are not known or reasonably estimated, but the likelihood of loss is probable, these will not be recorded, but their nature will be disclosed as well the lawsuits classified as possible.
Given the uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to determine the amount of provisions, actual outflows of resources may differ from the amounts recognized originally on the basis of these estimates (see Note 21).
Fair value of derivatives
The Atento Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate risks, primarily derived from possible fluctuations in exchange rates. Derivatives are recognized at the inception of the contract at fair value.
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are calculated based on observable market data available, either in terms of market prices or through the application of valuation techniques. The valuation techniques used to calculate the fair value of derivative financial instruments include the discounting of future cash flow associated with the instruments, applying assumptions based on market conditions at the valuation date or using prices established for similar instruments, among others. These estimates are based on available market information and appropriate valuation techniques. The fair values calculated could differ significantly if other market assumptions and/or estimation techniques were applied.

4)    MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK
4.1    Financial risk factors
The Atento Group’s activities are exposed to various types of financial risk: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Atento Group’s global risk management policy aims to minimize the potential adverse effects of these risks on the Atento Group’s financial returns. The Atento Group also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.
a)    Market risk
Interest rate risk in respect of cash flow and fair value
Interest risk arises mainly as a result of changes in interest rates which affect finance costs of debt bearing interest at variable rates (or short-term maturity debt expected to be renewed), as a result of fluctuations in interest rates, and the value of noncurrent liabilities that bear interest at fixed rates.
Atento Group’s finance expenses are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. On December 31, 2022, 10.2% of financial loans and borrowings (not including derivative financial instrument) bore interests at variable rates, while on December 31,2021 this amount was 4.4%. In both 2021 and 2022, the exposure was to to Brazilian risk-free rate (“SELIC”) and LIBOR.
We also have exposure to the Brazilian CDI rate on some of our cross-currency swaps entered after the Senior Secured Notes refinancing in February 2021. In such instruments, we exchange a fixed amount of U.S. dollars for a variable amount of Brazilian Reais, which is determined as a percentage of CDI (the Brazilian Interbank Market Rate). On June 6, 2023, The company has agreed to the unwinding of its remaining cross-currency interest rate swap agreements, refer to note 32 subsequent events.
The table below shows the change in fair value (variation) of a +/100 basis points variation in interest rate of the derivative financial instruments, the effects on the variation of other loans tied to CDI are not representative:

FAIR VALUE(127,707)

Foreign currency risk
Our foreign currency risk arises from local currency revenues, receivables, and payables, while the U.S. dollar is our functional and reporting currency. We benefit to a certain degree from the fact that the revenue we collect in each country, in which we have operations, is generally denominated in the same currency as the majority of the expenses we incur.
In accordance with our risk management policy, whenever we deem it appropriate, we manage foreign currency risk by using derivatives to hedge any exposure incurred in currencies other than those of the functional currency of the countries.
The main source of our foreign currency risk is related to the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 denominated in U.S. dollars. Upon issuance of the Notes, we entered into cross-currency swaps pursuant to which we exchange a fixed amount of U.S. dollars for a fixed amount of Euro and Peruvian Soles (fixed-fixed rate cross-currency swaps). We have also entered cross-currency swaps in which we exchange a fixed amount of U.S. dollars for a variable amount of Brazilian Reais (fixed-floating rate cross-currency swaps). The variable amount of Brazilian Reais is determined as a percentage of CDI (the Brazilian Interbank Market Rate).
The total amount of interest (coupon) payments is covered until the final maturity date (February 2026) of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026. The cross-currency swaps in place also include Principal Exchange in the same currency pairs mentioned above, which mature in February 2024. The referred cross-currency swaps are the only derivative transactions we have in place in Atento Group.
As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the cross-currency swaps totaled a net liability of 127.7 million U.S. dollars (net asset of 39.9 million U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2021).

b)    Credit risk
The Atento Group seeks to conduct all its business with reputable national and international companies and institutions established in their countries of origin, to minimize credit risk. As a result of this policy, the Atento Group has no material adjustments to make to its credit accounts (see Note 13). Accordingly, the Atento Group’s commercial credit risk management approach is based on continuous monitoring of the risks assumed and the financial resources necessary to manage the Group’s various units, in order to optimize the risk-reward relationship in the development and implementation of business plans in the course of their regular business.
Credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents is managed by placing cash surpluses in high quality and highly liquid money-market assets. These placements are regulated by our Corporate Treasury policy based on the conditions prevailing in the markets and the countries where Atento operates. The Corporate Treasury policy establishes: (i) the maximum amounts to be invested per counterparty, based on their ratings (long- and short-term debt ratings); (ii) the maximum period of the investment; and (iii) the instruments in which the surpluses may be invested.
The Atento Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is primarily limited to the carrying amounts of its financial assets. The Atento Group holds no guarantees as collection insurance.
c)    Liquidity risk
As of December 31, 2022, the Company presented negative shareholder equity amounting to $348.9 million, net loss amounting $295.6 million and negative working capital amounting $52.4 million. Additionally, the interest of debt paid during the year $82.0 million substantial share of the Company´s financial cost is mainly influenced to the Brazilian risk-free interest rate (“selic”) which substantially increased from 2% in January 2021 to 12.6% by the end of 2022. The challenges related to the sector in which the group operates; disruption from technology adoption, inflationary cost pressures; the post-pandemic macroeconomic challenging situation and reputational damage after the cyberattack occurred in 2021 led the Company to a higher pressure and an increased risk of cash short falls beginning 2023.
In the first half of 2023, the Company faced a series of concerning events indicating significant doubts about the Company's ability to continue operating, including:
I.Fitch Ratings downgraded Atento Luxco 1 S.A.'s Long-Term Foreign Currency Issuer Default Rating from 'B+' to 'B-'. Additionally, Atento's USD 500 million senior secured notes due 2026 were downgraded to 'B-'/'RR4' from 'B+'/'RR4', and Atento Brasil S.A.'s long-term National Scale Rating was lowered to 'B(bra)' from 'A-(bra)'.
II.The Company's level of indebtedness and debt commitments, including a USD 70 million loans and borrowings due in 2023 and payments related to Senior Secured Notes interest and coupon-only cross-currency swaps amounting to a total of USD 49 million in February and USD 46 million in August.
III.Atento's available credit facilities with financial institutions were restricted in 2023 due to rating downgrades and the company's financial health.
IV.Atento encountered a decline in cash and cash equivalents, resulting in postponed payments to specific supplier groups and tax obligations owed to tax authorities.
V.Operational performance declined, especially due to reduced volumes resulting from the termination of low-margin contracts, currency devaluation in emerging markets, and implementation delays with new clients, impacting new-year projections.
VI.Certain covenants were breached: (a) failure to provide certain financial reporting on a timely basis, (b) non-payment of a loan outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility agreement dated 23 December 2021, (c) failure to comply with certain cost reimbursement requirements, and (d) non-compliance with a cash variance covenant applicable to certain debt instruments. Company’s noteholders have been notified of such defaults and have expressly undertaken under the “RSA” not to take any enforcement action against the Group for such defaults and have not indicated to the Company an intention to exercise their termination rights.
Given the context mentioned above, Atento experienced liquidity stress due to the consumption of cash and equivalents. As a result, the Company entered into a Restructuring Plan (see note 2).
d)    External risk
We were the target of a cybersecurity incident which disrupted our systems
On October 17, 2021 Atento suffered a cyberattack. The Company detected the attempted cyberattack on our IT systems in Brazil and, in order to avoid risks to the group's customers, we began the process of isolating and suspending customers’ access to Atento's systems in Brazil. Contingency operational solutions were implemented to avoid any compromises to customers’ data and to minimize the impacts of the operations’ suspension. Services were carefully restored over the subsequent two weeks, with server cleaning at all company sites and operations in Brazil.
Atento was significantly impacted by the cyberattack. Despite not having made payments of ransom, Atento Brasil incurred expenses related to containing the threat, to implementing a prevention and contingency plan for reestablishing services, and to fines. These expenses included consulting firms, equipment leasing, software, infrastructure expenses, fines for delays in collecting tax forms, and additional payroll expenses due to increased personnel overtime related to reestablishing processes.

8)    IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
The Atento Group carries out its goodwill impairment tests to all CGUs using the various cash-generating units’ five-year strategic plans and budgets. The five-year plan used as the basis for the impairment test was approved by the board of directors as of December 31, 2022.
Recoverable amount is based on value in use calculated using cash flow from projected results adjusted for amortization/depreciation, finance costs, and taxes, based on the last period, and using the expected growth rates obtained from studies published in the sector and assuming growth to be constant from the fifth year onwards. Estimated cash flow determined in this manner is discounted using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) applicable to that CGU.
Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and its operating segments and is derived from its weighted average cost of capital WACC. The WACC considers both debt and equity.
These tests are performed annually and whenever it is considered that the recoverable amount of goodwill may be impaired.
On December 31, 2022, the tests conducted identified the need of impairment in the value of goodwill of Brazil subsidiary and Peru, since the related recoverable amounts calculated using value in use for this specific CGU was lower than the carrying amount, resulting in the write-off of 2022 Goodwill, by 12.8 thousand U.S. dollars. In Argentina, the deterioration of the economic situation and high discount rates, made discounted cash flow of the operations not enough to cover its asset base, resulting in the write-off of Argentinian 2022 remaining net assets, by 5.0 thousand U.S. dollars. In all other CGU, the recoverable amounts calculated using value in use were higher than the carrying amount of the related cash-generating units, even after sensitivities were applied to the variables used (1 p.p. increase in WACC or 1 p.p. decrease in EBITDA Margin or 1 p.p. decrease in Revenue growth).
The calculation of values in use for the CGUs is most sensitive to the revenues, EBITDA and discount rates assumptions.
The CGUs revenues projection has a variation based on management expectations growth plus inflation and the EBITDA margin variability between 2023 and 2027 for each CGU goes from -1.4 p.p. to +6.0 p.p. This means that no CGU presented an EBITDA variation between 2023 and 2027 higher than +6.0 p.p., or lower than-1.4 p.p.
The post-tax discount rates, which factor in country and business risks, and the projected terminal growth rates were as follows:

In the event of a 1% increase in the discount rate (WACC) used to calculate the recoverable amount of the above mentioned CGUs in each country, with the other variables remaining unchanged, with the exception of Argentina as explained above, the recoverable amount would still be higher than the corresponding carrying amount. As an additional sensitivity analysis, assuming that there is a fall in demand or an increase in costs and, as such, results before amortization/depreciation, finance cost and taxes margin, with all other variables remaining unchanged, results in a EBITDA (used for estimating cash flow) with a margin drop of 1%, the recoverable amount from each cash generating unit, with exception of Argentina, would continue to be higher than its corresponding carrying amount.

Atento Luxco1 entered into Cross-Currency Swaps to reduce its foreign exchange risk, since it generates cashflow in local currencies. With these instruments, the Company ensures that its cashflow in local currencies is hedged into a fixed dollar amount, the currency used to pay debt obligations, therefore reducing foreign exchange risks.
Derivatives held for trading are classified as current assets or current liabilities. The fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or a non-current liability, as applicable, if the remaining maturity of the hedged item exceeds twelve months. Otherwise, it is classified as a current asset or liability.
In February 2021, in connection with the new 8.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2026, Atento Luxco 1 S.A. entered into new Cross-Currency Swaps related to exchange rate risk between U.S. dollars and Euro (EUR), Brazilian Reais (BRL) and Peruvian Soles (PEN).
The Company is hedging the risk of changes in the USD equivalent value of a portion of its net investment in its consolidated Subsidiaries attributable to changes in the USD-subsidiary currency between the designation date and maturity date of the Hedging Instrument
All previous (coupon-only) cross-currency swaps with maturity in August 2022 were terminated in March 2021.
On January 04, 2022, Atento Luxco 1 S.A. unwound the 80.0 million U.S dollars principal exchange in the USD/BRL cross-currency swap entered with Morgan Stanley on February 26, 2021.

On January 1, 2019, the Company designated the Cross-Currency Swap between U.S. dollars and Brazilian Reais for hedge accounting as net investment hedge. Prior to the date of designation of the Cross-Currency Swap, this hedging instrument was electively not designated as a hedge accounting because the change in fair value was intended to partially offset changes in the USD-BRL foreign currency component of the BRL denominated intercompany debt, which were recorded in earnings. Effective January 1, 2019, the intercompany debt was reclassified as “permanent in equity” (which assumes that the related payable is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, since it is in substance, a part of the entity’s net investment in that foreign operation) and, as a consequence, the changes arising from the exchange rate are recorded in other comprehensive income and on January 1, 2020 Atento decided to assign the loan agreement between Atento Luxco 1 and Atento Mexico Holdco as “permanent in equity”, with its maturities to be renewed per indefinite time, since the repayment is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future. The effects of these transactions are presented in “Changes of Comprehensive Income”.
Gains and losses on net investment hedges accumulated in equity will be taken to the statement of operations when the foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold

According to commercial legislation in Luxembourg, Atento S.A. must transfer 5% of its year profits to legal reserve until the amount reaches 10% of share capital. The legal reserve cannot be distributed.
On December 31, 2021 and 2020, no legal reserve had been established, mainly due to the losses incurred by Atento S.A.
Hedge accounting effects
As discussed and presented on Note 14, on January 1, 2019 Atento formalized at a meeting of the “Board of Directors”, which took place on December 20, 2018, its intention to renew the loan agreement between Atento Luxco 1 and Atento Brasil on its maturities per indefinite time and designate it as permanent equity, as the repayment is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Therefore, changes in fair value related to the USD-BRL exchange rate is recorded in equity as part of other comprehensive income.
At the same time the, on January 1, 2019, the Cross-Currency Swap USD BRL was designated as a net investment hedge. Prior to the date of designation of the Cross-Currency Swap, this hedging instrument was electively not designated as a hedge accounting because the change in fair value was intended to partially offset changes in the USD-BRL foreign currency component of the BRL denominated intercompany debt, which were recorded in earnings. Therefore, changes in fair value related to the USD-BRL Cross-Currency Swap are recorded in equity as part of other comprehensive income.
Also, on January 1, 2020 the Company assigned the loan agreement between Atento Luxco 1 and Atento Mexico Holdco as permanent in equity, with its maturities to be renewed per indefinite time, since the repayment is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Therefore, changes in fair value related to the USD-MXN exchange rate are now recorded in equity as part of other comprehensive income.
The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation are considered net investment hedges. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
Translation differences
Translation differences reflect the differences arising on account of exchange rate fluctuations when converting the net assets of fully consolidated foreign companies from local currency into Atento Group’s presentation currency (U.S. dollars).

20)    TAX MATTERS
a)    Income tax
The reconciliation between the income tax expense that would result in applying the statutory tax rate and the income tax expense recorded is as follow:
Thousands of U.S. dollars
For the years ended December 31,
202020212022

Total income tax expense(4,779)(4,459)(92,305)
(*) Statutory tax rate refers to a combined rate of the group including all subsidiaries.
Permanent differences in 2022 are mainly related to equity and dividends distributions which represents non-taxable items in Spain, Brazil, Guatemala, and Chile.
DTA write off in 2022 are mainly impacted by the reversal of DTA of Tax Losses of Atento Brasil and Mexico by 77,875 thousand of U.S. dollars offset by 7,319 a credit of withholding tax in Atento Mexico. After an evaluation of the expected future performance of the business of Atento Brazil and Mexico, management has considered that it is not probable that the future taxable profit made by these entities in the coming years will be enough to offset the deferred tax asset recognized. Regarding this assessment, management noted the expense structure is currently compromised by high financial expenses (e.g accumulated Brazil interbank deposit rate (“CDI”) increased from 4,4% in 2021 to 12,4% in 2022), decline in Multisector sales where certain clients shifted a portion of volumes to other CX providers, following the October 2021 cyberattack that temporarily disrupted Atento’s Brazil operations, changes in outsourcing regulations in Mexico that required the suspension or internalization of certain sales services and changes to Mexican labor law effective in 2023, resulting the minimum wage and amount of paid vacation increase. These events have relevant impact on the capability of entities to generate positive results. This evaluation has also considered that, in the short term, no significant capital structure changes or corporate reorganizations are expected, which could eventually affect The Company’s capacity to offset tax credits.
Company´s income tax expense is as well impacted by the non-recognition of DTA of Tax Losses in the current year for the Luxco entities, Atento Brasil, Spanish entities and Mexico by 45,370 thousand of U.S. dollars.
The breakdown of the Atento Group’s income tax expense is as follow:

“Provision for dismantling” corresponds to the necessary cost of dismantling of the installations held under operating leases to bring them to their original condition. “Provisions for liabilities” mainly relate to provisions for labor, related legal claims underway in Brazil amounting to 13,782 thousand U.S dollars and other labor liabilities. The increase of the year is mainly due to provision corresponding to the amounts compensated (in which the company applied a premise that the benefits related to social security contributions on the discounts of transportation vouchers, meal vouchers and medical expenses were not part of the compensation of the insured employees and, therefore, were not subject to the incidence of contributions. The mentioned approach was questioned by Brazil authorities in 2022. Thus, company defined, at this time, to make the provision of the amounts corresponding to the administrative processes not approved by Brazilian authorities, although it still remains under administrative discussion, resulting in a provision by 13,000 thousand U.S dollars. “Provisions for taxes” mainly relate to probable contingencies in Brazil with respect to social security payments and other taxes, which are subject to interpretations by tax authorities.
Atento Brasil S.A. has made payments in escrow related to legal claims, amounting to 25,149 thousand U.S. dollars and 17,180 thousand U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
As of December 31, 2022, main lawsuits outstanding in the courts in Brazil and in Mexico were as follows:
Brazil
Labor Litigation
As of December 31, 2022, Atento Brasil was involved in 7.554 labor-related disputes (8,411 labor as of December 31, 2021), being 7.408 of labor massive and 84 of outliers and 62 others (8,271 of labor massive and 56 of outliers and 84 others as of December 31, 2021), filed by Atento’s employees or ex-employees for various reasons, such as dismissals or claims over employment conditions in general. The total amount of the main claims classified as possible was $ 28.2 million ($29.1 million on December 31, 2021), of which $ 13.5 million Labor Massive-related, $2.3 million Labor Outliers-related and $12.3 million Special Labor cases related.
Civil Litigation
As of December 31, 2022, Atento Brasil S.A. is party to 9 civil lawsuits ongoing for various reasons (9 on December 31, 2021) which, according to the Company’s external attorneys, materialization of the risk event is possible. The total amount of the claims is $ 2.2 million U.S dollars ($ 3,3 million on December 31, 2021).
Tax and Social Security infraction proceedings
As of December 31, 2022, Atento Brasil is party to 83 disputes ongoing with the tax authorities and social security authorities for various reasons relating to infraction proceedings filed (74 on December 31, 2021) which, according to the Company’s external attorneys, materialization of the risk event is possible. The total amount of these claims is $49.5 million ($32.7 million on December 31, 2021).
Goodwill tax proceedings
In March 2018, Atento Brasil S.A. an indirect subsidiary of Atento S.A. received a tax notice from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, related to Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) for the period from 2013 to 2015. Tax authorities has challenged the disallowance of the expenses related to goodwill tax amortization, the deductibility of certain financing costs originated by the acquisition of Atento Brasil S.A. by Bain Capital in 2012, and the Withholding Income Tax for the period of 2012 related to payments made to certain of our former shareholders.
The amount of the tax assessment from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, not including interest and penalties, was 350.5 million Brazilian Reais (approximately 66.9 million U.S. dollars considering the current currency exchange rate) and was assessed by the Company’s outside legal counsel as possible loss to the merit discussion. Since we disagree with the proposed tax assessment, we are defending our position, which we believe is meritorious, through applicable administrative and, if necessary, judicial remedies. On September 26th, 2018 the Federal Tax Office issued a decision accepting the application of the statute of limitation on the withholding tax discussion. We and the Public Attorney appealed to the Administrative Tribunal (CARF). On February 11th, 2020 CARF issued a partially favorable decision to Atento, confirming the application of the statute of limitation on the withholding tax discussion and reducing the penalty imposed. On September 18, 2020 the decision issued by CARF regarding the Withholding Income Tax became final (the Public Attorney filed a Special Appeal challenging the penalty reduction and Atento Brasil filed a Special Appeal challenging the goodwill and the financing costs discussion. Both Appeals were not judged yet). Thus, the tax at stake was reduced from 350.5 million Brazilian Reais to 230.8 million Brazilian Reais (approximately 44.0 million U.S. dollars considering the current currency exchange rate). Based on our interpretation of the relevant law and based on the advice of our legal and tax advisors, we believe the position we have taken is sustainable. Consequently, no provisions are recognized regarding these proceedings.
Afterward the issuance of the tax notice in March 2018, the Brazilian tax administration started a procedure to audit the Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) of Atento Brasil S.A. for the period from 2016 to 2017. This tax audit was concluded on July 10th, 2020 with the notification of a tax assessment that rejected the deductibility of the above-mentioned financing expenses and the deductibility of the tax amortization of goodwill.
The total tax assessment notified by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, not including interest and penalties, was 101.6 million Brazilian Reais (approximately 19.4 million U.S. dollars considering the current currency exchange rate). We disagree with the proposed tax assessment and we are defending our position, which we believe is meritorious, through applicable administrative and, if necessary, judicial remedies.

27)    SEGMENT INFORMATION
The CEO is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Management has determined the operating segments on the basis of the information reviewed by the CEO for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The results measurement used by the CEO to assess the performance of the Atento Group’s segments is the EBITDA (as defined below).
The CEO considers the business from the geographical perspective in the following areas:
§EMEA, which combines the activities carried out regionally in Spain.
§The Americas, which includes the activities carried out by the various Spanish-speaking companies in Mexico, Central and South America. It also includes transactions in the United States.
§Brazil, which is managed separately in view of its different language and major importance.
The Atento Group uses EBITDA to track the performance of its segments and to establish operating and strategic targets. Management believes that EBITDA provides an important measure of the segment’s operating performance because it allows management to evaluate and compare the segments’ operating results, including their return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period by removing the impact of their capital structure (interest expenses), asset bases (depreciation and amortization), and tax consequences. EBITDA is defined as profit/(loss) for the period before net finance expense (which includes finance income, finance costs, change in fair value of financial instruments and net foreign exchange losses), income taxes and depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA is a commonly reported measure and are widely used among analysts, investors and other interested parties in the Atento Group’s industry, although not a measure explicitly defined in IFRS, and therefore, may not be comparable to similar indicators used by other companies. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to the profit for the year as a measurement of our consolidated earnings or as an alternative to consolidated cash flow from operating activities as a measurement of our liquidity.
The following tables present financial information for the Atento Group’s operating segments for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 (in thousand U.S. dollars):

Restructuring Plan
On June 30, 2023 the Company entered into a binding restructuring support agreement (“RSA”) with certain major financial stakeholders that provides a path to a comprehensive restructuring transaction. In the restructuring support agreement, Atento and the participating financial stakeholders that have executed or acceded to the restructuring support agreement have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the restructuring support agreement, to provide support for the restructuring and to facilitate the implementation of the restructuring, including (in the case of the participating financial stakeholders) by voting in favor of the proposed restructuring at any creditor meetings and not taking, or instructing any other person to take, any enforcement action or pursuing any other available remedies against Atento or any other group company.
The main steps to support and achieve the implementation of the Restructuring Plan has occurred as follows:
(2025 Notes) - On February 15, 2023, the Company entered into financing arrangements with a group of certain existing investors for additional financing by approximately $39.6 million through a senior secured notes due 2025 issued by Atento Luxco 1 S.A and guaranteed by selected receivables of certain subsidiaries. Interest is payable every three months, being 10% per annum payable in cash and 10% per annum payable in additional new notes.
(Unwinding of cross-currency swaps) - On June 6, 2023, the Company announced the unwinding of its cross-currency interest rate swap agreements (in connection with the $500 million senior secured notes due 2026 to swap amounts payable in US dollars). The amount of $120 million payable to unwind the cross-currency swaps was part of the Restructuring Plan described below without any cash disbursement.
(New Money 2025 Notes) - On June 30, 2023, interim financing was provided by certain existing investors. The first tranche amounting to $17 million was drawn on June 30, 2023; the second tranche amounting to $17 million was drawn on July 31, 2023; the third tranche amounting to $3 million was drawn on August 31, 2023. Each tranche has a maturity term of 2 years, interest are payable every three months, being 10% per annum payable in cash and 10% per annum payable in additional new notes.

Atento UK is the plan company to establish “sufficient connection” to England for the purposes of the UK Restructuring Plan.
(Governing Law) - On August 11, 2023, the Company has launched the consent solicitation statement related to the governing law and jurisdiction of the 2026 Notes change from New York law and the courts of New York to English law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts to establish “sufficient connection” to England for the purposes of the UK Restructuring Plan as set out in note 2 of Consolidated Financial Statements. On September 8, 2023, Atento Luxco 1 (the “Company”), Wilmington Trust, National Association and Wilmington Trust (London) Limited entered into a Supplemental Indenture (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”) to supplement the Indenture dated February 10, 2021 (the “Indenture”), governing the Company’s $500 million 8.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). Following the execution of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture the governing law of the Indenture, the Notes and the Notes Guarantees was changed to the laws of England and Wales as the jurisdiction for instituting any suit, action or proceeding against the Company or any Guarantor under the Indenture.

Atento S.A. Delisting proceedings
On July 21, 2023 the company received a letter from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) communicating that the NYSE has initiated proceedings to delist Atento’s ordinary shares from the NYSE. The NYSE initiated the delisting proceedings after determining that the average market capitalization of Atento’s ordinary shares fell below million over a 30 trading-day period under Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The NYSE also indefinitely suspended trading of Atento’s ordinary shares effective July 21, 2023. Atento does not intend to appeal the NYSE’s determination. Atento’s ordinary shares are expected to be quoted on the appropriate tier of the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. The Company’s ticker symbol on the OTC will remain “ATTOF”. The delisting will only affect the shares of Atento S.A. at a holding company level and so will not affect business operations. On August 18, 2023 the entire class of Ordinary shares of Atento S.A. was retired from listing and registration on the New York Stock Exchange.

In accordance with the requirements of SEC Rule 12-04(a) and 5-04(c) of Regulation S-X, which require condensed financial information for the financial position, income statement, statement of other comprehensive income and cash flows of a Parent Company as of the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated financial statements have been presented when the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries exceed 25 percent of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year.
A registrant with a consolidated shareholders’ deficit is considered to have a net asset base of zero for the purpose of computing its proportionate share of the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries. As a result, any restrictions placed on the net assets of subsidiaries with positive equity would result in the 25% threshold being met and a corresponding requirement to provide parent company financial information. Therefore, this Parent Company financial information is being presented due to the restrictions of our Super Senior Credit Facility issued by the intermediate holding Luxco 1 S.A. and all subsidiaries below, some subsidiaries are restricted to transfer dividends to the Parent Company (see note 17).

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Disclosure Of Significant Accounting Policies Abstract  
Description of accounting policy for subsidiaries [text block] Principles of consolidation, business combinations and goodwill
(i)Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Atento Group has control. The Atento Group controls an entity when the Atento Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group, until the Group loses control of the entity.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between the Atento Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, except the effects arisising from exchange variations that is not eliminated for disclosure purpose. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. All subsidiaries adhere to and consistently comply with the policies adopted by the Atento Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statements of operations, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and financial position.
Description of accounting policy for business combinations and goodwill [text block] Business combinations and goodwill
When the Atento Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9. Other contingent consideration that is not within the scope of IFRS 9 is measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
Goodwill is initially measured as any excess of the total consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is greater than the total consideration transferred, the difference is recognized in the statements of operations as a gain from a bargain purchase. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or group of cash-generating units, which are expected to benefit from the synergies arising in the business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but it is tested for impairment annually or whenever there are certain events or changes in circumstances indicating potential impairment. The carrying amount of the assets allocated to each cash-generating unit is then compared with its recoverable amount, which is the greater of its value in use or fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss is immediately recognized in the statements of operations and cannot be reversed (see Note 3h).
Description of accounting policy for functional currency [text block] Functional and presentation currencyItems included in the financial statements of each of the Atento Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars, which is the presentation currency of the Atento Group.
Description of accounting policy for foreign currency translation [text block] Foreign currency translation
The results and financial position of all Atento Group entities whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follow:
Statements of financial position assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date.
Statements of operations items are translated at average exchange rates for the year (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions).
Hyperinflationary economies: Under IAS 29, the non-monetary assets and liabilities, the equity and the statements of operations of subsidiaries operating in hyperinflationary economies are restated applying a general price index. The financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, whether they are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach, shall be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period and translated to U.S. dollar at the closing rate of the period, for the purposes of conversion, applying IAS 21.
Proceeds and payments shown on the statements of cash flows are translated at the average exchange rates for the period (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case proceeds and payments are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions). Proceeds and payments for the subsidiary located in Argentina shown on the statements of cash flows are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date.
Retained earnings are translated at historical exchange rates.
All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss).
Goodwill and fair value adjustments to net assets arising from the acquisition of a foreign company are considered to be assets and liabilities of the foreign company and are translated at year-end exchange rates. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss).
Description of accounting policy for foreign currrency transation Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions or valuation date, in the case of items being remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of these transactions and from the translation at reporting date exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statements of operations, except when deferred in other comprehensive income/(loss).
All differences arising on non–trading activities are taken to other operating income/expense in the statements of operations, except of the effective portion of the differences on net investment hedges that are accounted for as an effective hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These differences are recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) (OCI) until the disposal of the net investment, at which time, they are recognized in the statements of operations. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in OCI.
The Company has non–monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency in which refers to lease’s agreements. These items are translated using the exchange rates as at the date of recognition.
Description of accounting policy for segment reporting [text block] Segment information
Segment information is presented in accordance with management information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM, responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of operational segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) responsible for strategic decisions.
The CODM considers the business from a geographical perspective and analyzes it across three operational segments–EMEA, Americas and Brazil.
Description of accounting policy for intangible assets other than goodwill [text block] Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost, less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
The intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed on a case-by-case basis to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life and assessed for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. The amortization charge on intangible assets is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under “Amortization”.
Amortization methods and useful lives are revised annually at the end of each reporting period and, where appropriate, adjusted prospectively.
Customer base
Customer base acquired in a business combination is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and have finite useful lives and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization, which has been estimated to be between seven and twelve years. The customer base relates to all agreements, tacit or explicit, entered into between the Atento Group and the former owner of the Atento Group and between the Atento Group and other customers, in relation to the provision of services, and that were acquired as part of the business combinations.
Software
Software is measured at cost (at acquisition or development costs) and amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life, generally estimated to be between three and five years. Maintenance cost of software is expensed as incurred.
Development costs directly attributable to the design and creation of software that are identifiable and unique, and that may be controlled by the Group, are recognized as an intangible asset providing the following conditions are met:
It is technically feasible for the intangible asset to be completed so that it will be available for use or sale.
Management intends to complete the asset for use or sale.
The Group has the capacity to use or sell the asset.
It is possible to show evidence of how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.
Adequate technical, financial and other resources are available to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.
The outlay attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably determined.
Directly attributable costs capitalized in the value of the software include the cost of personnel developing the programs.
Costs that do not meet the criteria listed above are recognized as an expense as incurred. An example of this is Software as a Service. The cloud computing is a model for delivering information technology services through web-based tools and applications. (SaaS). In such contracts, the customer generally does not obtain a software license or have a right to take possession of the software. The contract conveys to the customer the right to receive access to the supplier’s application software over the contract term. That right to receive access does not provide the customer with a software asset and, therefore, the access to the software is a service that the customer receives over the contract term.
Description of accounting policy for property, plant and equipment [text block] Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Acquisition costs include, when appropriate, the initial estimates of decommissioning, withdrawal, and site reconditioning costs when the Atento Group is obliged to bear this expenditure as a condition of using the assets. Repairs that do not prolong the useful life of the assets and maintenance costs are recognized directly in the statements of operations. Costs that prolong or improve the life of the asset are capitalized as an increase in the cost of the asset.
Property, plant and equipment acquired in a business combination are initially measured at fair value as of the acquisition date.
The Atento Group assesses the need to write down, if appropriate, the carrying amount of each item of property, plant and equipment to its period-end recoverable amount whenever there are indications that the assets’ carrying amount may not be fully recoverable through the generation of sufficient future revenue. The impairment allowance is reversed if the factors giving rise to the impairment cease to exist.
The depreciation charge for items of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under “Depreciation”.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset applying individual rates to each type of asset, which are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
The useful lives generally used by the Atento Group are as follow:
Years of Useful Life
Buildings
5 - 15
Plant and machinery
3 - 6
Furniture, tools
1 - 10
Other tangible assets
5 - 8
Description of accounting policy for impairment of assets [text block] Impairment of noncurrent assets
The Atento Group assesses as of each reporting date whether there is an indicator that a non-current asset may be impaired. If any such indicator exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (e.g., goodwill), the Atento Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell or its value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flow is discounted to its present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired. In this case, the carrying amount is written down to its recoverable amount, and the resulting loss is recognized in the statements of operations. Future depreciation/amortization charges are adjusted to reflect the asset’s new carrying amount over its remaining useful life. Management analyzes the impairment of each asset individually, except in the case of assets that generate cash flow which are interdependent on those generated by other assets (cash generating units – “CGU”).
The Atento Group bases the calculation of impairment on the business plans of the various cash generating units to which the assets are allocated. These business plans cover five years and is subjected annually for the Board of Directors approval. A long-term growth rate is calculated using a steady growth rate based on the gross domestic product external data available for the products, industries, or country or countries in which the entity operates, or for the market in which the asset is used and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.
When there are new events or changes in circumstances that indicate that a previously recognized impairment loss no longer exists or has been decreased, a new estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is made. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The reversal is limited to the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. This reversal is recognized in the statements of operations and the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to reflect the asset’s revised carrying amount. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
Description of accounting policy for financial assets [text block] Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.
The Atento Group has classified all financial assets as amortized cost, except for derivative financial instruments.
All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the statement of financial position on the transaction date, i.e. when the commitment is made to purchase or sell the asset.
A financial asset is fully or partially derecognized from the statement of financial position only when:
1.The rights to receive cash flow from the asset have expired.
2.The Atento Group has assumed an obligation to pay the cash flow received from the asset to a third party or
3.The Atento Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flow from the asset to a third party, thereby substantially transferring all the risks and rewards of the asset.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis in the statement of financial position when a legally enforceable right exists to offset the amounts recognized and the Atento Group intends to settle the assets and liabilities net or to simultaneously realize the asset and cancel the liability.
Amortized cost financial assets include contractual agreements on future cash flow not listed in active markets and which are not derivatives. They are classified as current assets, except for those maturing more than twelve months after the reporting date, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus any transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. Interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognized under finance income in the statements of operations.
In compliance with IFRS 9 – “Financial Instruments”, the allowance for expected loss on trade receivables accounts was measured through a simplified approach, using historical data, projecting the expected loss over the contractual life, by customer and according to the respective maturity terms. In addition, for certain cases, the Company performs individual analyses to collect the receipt risks.
Description of accounting policy for trade and other receivables [text block]
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for the sale of services in the normal course of business. Receivables slated for collection in twelve months or less are classified as current assets; otherwise, the balances are considered non-current assets.
These are financial assets measured initially at fair value and subsequently, at amortized cost and are evaluated by the value of the services provided in accordance with the contractual conditions, net of estimated impairment losses. These include the services provided to customers, which were still not billed at the balance sheet date. In general, cash flow relating to short-term receivables is not discounted.
Description of accounting policy for determining components of cash and cash equivalents [text block]
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in banks, demand deposits and other highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Description of accounting policy for borrowing costs [text block]
Loans and Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recorded at the fair value of the consideration received, less any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between the cash received (net of transaction costs) and the repayment value is recognized in the statements of operations over the life of the debt. Loans and borrowings are non-current when the maturity date is longer than twelve months from the reporting date, or when the Atento Group has full discretion to defer settlement for at least another twelve months from that date.
Financial liabilities are derecognized in the statement of financial position when the respective obligation is settled, cancelled or matures.
Description of accounting policy for trade and other payables [text block]
Trade payables
Trade payables are payment obligations in respect of goods or services received from suppliers in the ordinary course of business. Trade payables falling due in twelve months or less are classified as current liabilities; otherwise, the balances are considered as non-current liabilities.
Recognized fair value measurements
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognized and measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.
As of December 31, 2022NotesLevel 1Level 2Total
Liabilities
Derivative financial instruments14— 127,707 127,707 
As of December 31, 2021NotesLevel 1Level 2Total

There were no transfers between levels for recurring fair value measurements during the year.
Below, Company describes an explanation of each level:
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
Description of accounting policy for derivative financial instruments and hedging [text block] Derivative financial instruments and hedging
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at their fair values on the date on which the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value.
Any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument are recorded in the statements of operations, except for the effective portion of net investment hedges, which is recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) and later reclassified to profit or loss when the hedge item affects the statements of operations.
At the inception of the derivative instrument contract, the Atento Group documents the relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and the strategy for groups of hedges. The Atento Group also documents its assessment, both at the inception of the hedge and throughout the term thereof, of whether the derivatives used are highly effective at offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flow of the hedged items.
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognized as a financial asset whereas a derivative with a negative fair value is recognized as a financial liability. Derivatives are not offset in the financial statements unless the Group has both a legally enforceable right and intention to offset.
For the purpose of hedge accounting the Atento Group designates derivatives as net investment hedges, which gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognized in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognized in the statements of operations. Gains and losses accumulated in equity are included in the statements of operations when the foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold.
Description of accounting policy for issued capital [text block] Share capital
The ordinary shares of the Company are classified in equity (see Note 19).
Issuance costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or options are deducted from the proceeds raised in equity, net of the tax effect.
Description of accounting policy for treasury shares [text block] Treasury shares Own equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Atento Group’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration, if reissued, is recognized in the share premium.
Description of accounting policy for provisions [text block] Provisions
The Company is a party to a number of judicial and administrative proceedings, whose assessments of the likelihood of loss include an analysis 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 external lawyers. The Company classifies the risk of loss in legal proceedings as probable, possible, or remote. The provision recorded in relation to such lawsuits is set by the Company's Management, based on the analysis of its legal counsel, and reasonably reflects the estimated probable losses.
Provisions are recognized when the Atento Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions for restructuring include penalties for the cancellation of leases and other contracts, as well as employee termination payments. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
When the Atento Group is virtually certain that some or all of a provision is to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, a separate asset is recognized in the statement of financial position, and the expense relating to the provision is recorded in the statements of operations, net of the expected reimbursement.
Provisions are measured at the present value of expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation, using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks inherent to the obligation.
Contingent liabilities represent possible obligations to third parties, and existing obligations that are not recognized, given that it is not likely that an outflow of economic resources will be required in order to settle the obligation or because the amount cannot be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are not recognized on the consolidated statement of financial position unless they are recorded as part of a business combination.
For lawsuits of a massive labor nature, represented by high volume lawsuits with similar characteristics and low value, the provision is based on historical information, according to the calculation of the average payment ticket for the last two years, considering the procedural stage in which they occurred, and multiplied by the number of lawsuits in force at each stage process measured at each report date.
Description of accounting policy for share-based payment transactions [text block] Employee benefit
Share-based payments
Atento S.A. has a share-based compensation plan, under which the subsidiaries of Atento S.A. receive services from employees as consideration for the equity instruments of Atento S.A. on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and graded basis over the vesting period – depending on the Shared-based payments. The subsidiaries themselves are not party to any of the contracts; Atento S.A. settles these agreements. The plan offers various instruments (award agreements, stock options, restricted stock units, etc.), but some types of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have been granted to selected employees, as described in Note 19.
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the RSUs is recognized as an expense in the consolidated financial statements of Atento S.A. The total amount to be expensed is determined with reference to the fair value of the RSUs granted:
Including any market performance conditions (for example, an entity’s share price);
Excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time); and
Including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to save or hold shares for a specific period).
At the end of each reporting period, the group revises its estimates of the number of RSUs that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions and service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revisions to original estimates, if any, in the Consolidated statements of loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
When the RSUs vest, Atento S.A. issues new shares or buys them back in the market. The proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium.
The provision for social security contributions on share options is calculated based on the number of options outstanding at the reporting date that are expected to be exercised. The provision is based on the market price of the shares at the reporting date, which is the best estimate of the market price at the date of exercise.
Description of accounting policy for termination benefits [text block]
Termination benefits
The Company has a post-employment health care plan to former employees retired by the Company who contributed for at least 10 years are guaranteed the right to remain on the Company's policy for life. These termination benefits are paid to employees when the Atento Group decides to terminate their employment contracts prior to the usual retirement age or when the employee agrees to resign voluntarily in exchange for these benefits. The Atento Group recognizes these benefits as an expense for the year, at the earliest of the following dates: (a) when the Atento Group is no longer able to withdraw the offer for these benefits; or (b) when the Atento Group company recognizes the costs of a restructuring effort as per IAS 37, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, and when this restructuring entails the payment of termination benefits. When benefits are offered in order to encourage the voluntary resignation of employees, termination benefits are measured on the basis of the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits to be paid in more than twelve months from the reporting date are discounted to their present value.
Description of accounting policy for income tax [text block] Income tax
The income tax expense includes all the expenses and credits arising from the corporate income tax levied on all the Atento Group companies.
Income tax expenses for each period represent the aggregate amounts of current and deferred taxes, if applicable.
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amounts are those that are enacted at the reporting date in each country in which the Atento Group operates. The Atento Group determines deferred tax assets and liabilities by applying the tax rates that will be effective when the corresponding asset is received or the liability settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that are enacted (or substantively enacted) at the reporting date.
Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences arising from differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax credits and tax loss carryforwards.
The carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of that deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities associated with investments in subsidiaries and branches are not recognized when the timing of the reversal can be controlled by the parent company, and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax relating to items directly recognized in equity is also recognized in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from business combinations are added to or deducted from goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment
Atento Group reviewed the tax treatment under the terms of IFRIC 23 in all subsidiaries and as at the reporting date, the Group did not identify any material impact on the financial statements.
Atento Group implemented a process for periodically review the income tax treatments consistent under IFRIC 23 requirements across the Group.
Description of accounting policy for recognition of revenue [text block] Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Atento Group principally generates revenue under contracts with customers for the provision of customer relationship management and business process (“CRM BPO”) services. Revenue from CRM BPO services is recognized over time as rendered, considering that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Company satisfies its performance obligation, and at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.
The contracts typically require the Atento Group to deliver CRM BPO services on behalf of customers such as responding to customer inquiries, completing back-office processes and providing technical support over channels such as voice, SMS, email, chats and social media. Atento’s contracts contain a series of distinct services which are provided over a period, are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, so the Company considers these as a single performance obligation. Average days sales outstanding (“DSO”) was 74 days for 2022 (70 days for 2021) and the average payment term was 30 days after invoicing. The Company recognizes revenue on an accrual basis during the period in which services are rendered, and for services delivered and not yet invoiced the Company recognizes unbilled revenue and trade receivables based on pricing contractually agreed by its customers and volume of services rendered.
Atento’s contracts generally contain service level agreements (SLAs), which are a form of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of service performance such as average time to answer calls, the average call length, customer satisfaction scores, quality scores and customer churn rate.
(i)Variable component
The variable component in contracts consists of bonus and penalties triggered by the achievement or breach of these agreed KPIs of service performance that have not been confirmed with the customer or that will be based on performance over periods in the future. Management estimates the amount of variable consideration by using the most likely amount method and recognizes variable consideration as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company applies this method consistently throughout the contract when estimating the effect of an uncertainty on the amount of variable consideration to which it will be entitled.
Management estimates variable consideration using actual data available to the Company at the time of monthly closing as well as the historical levels of achievement of the KPIs. For example, the application of performance bonuses or penalties based on average time to answer calls, average call length, customer satisfaction and quality scores are estimated based on data from the Company’s and customer’s systems about performance for these measures, while the application of performance bonuses or penalties based on end-customer churn rate, when applicable for specific contracts, are estimated based on available data from the Company’s and customer’s systems for these measures to the extent available and otherwise based on average historical achievement levels because the uncertainty for customer churn rate is resolved over a several months. The Company generally bills its customers monthly based on the actual consideration to which it is entitled for. As such, estimated revenue is recognized only for the last month of the reporting period. The Company performs controls to assess and identify any material differences between the estimated amounts and actual amounts which historically have been immaterial.
Some of Atento Group’s contracts include minimum monthly volume and minimum annual revenue commitments that require the customer to compensate the Group for a percentage of volumes and revenue shortfalls defined in the contracts. The variable component is estimated based on the forecasts of volume and revenue agreed with customers at inception of the contract and reviewed periodically, as well as the actual data available to the company used to determine if the Group should recognize revenue for a contract during the reporting period at either the minimum amount or based on price and volume.
(ii)Fixed component
For most of the contracts that include a fixed component to determine the amount of consideration the Group expects to be entitled, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided at the end of the reporting period, because the customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously based on the infrastructure made available to the customer. This could be determined based on the actual labor hours previously agreed with the customer or based on the number of workstations made available.
The Company undertakes activities in anticipation of winning a contract and during the proposal phase of bidding for a contract in order to properly customize the Company’s offering to the potential customer’s needs. The performance of those tasks does not transfer a service to the customer as performed and are not charged to the customer nor recovered, therefore, those activities are not a performance obligation and are recognized as an expense when incurred.
Description of accounting policy for interest income and expense [text block]
q)    Interest income and expenses
Interest expenses directly attributable to the construction of any qualified asset are capitalized during the time necessary to complete the asset and prepare it for the intended use. All other interest expenses are expensed as incurred.
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When a loan or a receivable has been impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount, discounting the estimated future cash flow at the instrument’s original effective interest rate and recognizing the discount as a decrease in interest income. Interest income on receivable is recognized when the cash is collected.
Description of accounting policy for leases [text block] Lease (as Lessee)
The Atento Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Atento Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
(i)Right-of-use assets
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
(ii)Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
(iii)Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less from the commencement date). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Description of accounting policy for financial liabilities [text block] Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements under IFRS as issued by the IASB requires the use of certain assumptions and estimates that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Some of the accounting policies applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements required Management to apply significant judgments in order to select the most appropriate assumptions for determining these estimates. These assumptions and estimates are based on Management experience, the advice of consultants and experts, forecasts and other circumstances and expectations. Management’s evaluation considers the global economic situation in the sector in which the Atento Group operates, as well as the future outlook for the business. By virtue of their nature, these judgments are inherently subject to uncertainty. Consequently, actual results could differ substantially from the estimates and assumptions used. Should this occur, the values of the related assets and liabilities would be adjusted accordingly.
Although these estimates were made based on the best information available at each reporting date on the events analyzed, events that take place in the future might make it necessary to change these estimates in coming years. Changes in accounting estimates would be applied prospectively in accordance with the requirements of IAS 8, “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, recognizing the effects of the changes in estimates in the related consolidated statements of operations.
An explanation of the estimates and judgments that entail a significant risk of leading to a material adjustment in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities is as follow:
Impairment of goodwill
The Atento Group tests goodwill for impairment annually, in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 3h. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing as part of the cash-generating unit to which it has been allocated. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units defined in order to identify potential impairment in goodwill are determined on the basis of value in use, applying five-year financial forecasts based on the Atento Group’s strategic plans, approved and reviewed by Management. These calculations entail the use of assumptions and estimates, and require a significant degree of judgment. The main variables considered in the sensitivity analyses are growth rates, discount rates using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) and the key business variables.
Deferred taxes
The Atento Group assesses the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on estimates of future earnings. The ability to recover these deferred amounts depends ultimately on the Atento Group’s ability to generate taxable earnings over the period in which the deferred tax assets remain deductible. This analysis is based on the estimated timing of the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, as well as estimates of taxable earnings, which are sourced from internal projections.
The appropriate classification of tax assets and liabilities depends on a series of factors, including estimates as to the timing and realization of deferred tax assets and the projected tax payment schedule. Actual income tax receipts and payments could differ from the estimates made by the Atento Group as a result of changes in tax legislation or unforeseen transactions that could affect the tax balances (see Note 20).
The Atento Group has recognized deferred tax assets corresponding to losses carried forward since, based on internal projections, it is probable that it will generate future taxable profits against which they may be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of that deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Atento Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. This obligation may be legal or constructive, deriving from, regulations, contracts, customary practice, or public commitments that would lead third parties to reasonably expect that the Atento Group will assume certain responsibilities. The amount of the provision is determined based on the best estimate of the outflow of resources embodying economic benefit that will be required to settle the obligation, considering all available information as of the reporting date, including the opinions of independent experts such as legal counsel or consultants.
The Company classifies the risk of loss in legal proceedings as probable, possible, or remote. If the Company has lawsuits whose values are not known or reasonably estimated, but the likelihood of loss is probable, these will not be recorded, but their nature will be disclosed as well the lawsuits classified as possible.
Given the uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to determine the amount of provisions, actual outflows of resources may differ from the amounts recognized originally on the basis of these estimates (see Note 21).
Fair value of derivatives
The Atento Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate risks, primarily derived from possible fluctuations in exchange rates. Derivatives are recognized at the inception of the contract at fair value.
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are calculated based on observable market data available, either in terms of market prices or through the application of valuation techniques. The valuation techniques used to calculate the fair value of derivative financial instruments include the discounting of future cash flow associated with the instruments, applying assumptions based on market conditions at the valuation date or using prices established for similar instruments, among others. These estimates are based on available market information and appropriate valuation techniques. The fair values calculated could differ significantly if other market assumptions and/or estimation techniques were applied.
