1.2 Major events in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024

1.2.1 Effects of the war between Russia and Ukraine, and Middle East conflict

The Company has continuously monitored the impacts of the current war between Russia and Ukraine, and the Middle East conflict, both direct and indirect, on society, the economy and markets (global and domestic), with the objective of evaluating possible impacts and risks for the business.

The Company's assessment has covered five main areas:

(i)Personnel: Suzano has local employees and facilities in the city of Rehovot in Israel, through its subsidiary, FuturaGene Israel Ltd. The Company continuously monitors the situation.

In the context of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Suzano does not have employees or facilities of any kind in locations related to the conflict.

(ii)Supply Chain: the Company did not identify any short-term or long-term risk of possible interruptions or shortages of materials for its industrial and forestry activities. So far, the only effects observed have been greater volatility in commodities and energy prices.

(iii)Logistics: internationally, there was no change in the Company’s logistical operations, with all the routes used remaining unchanged and the moorings in the planned locations being maintained. At the domestic level, no changes in logistical flows were identified.

(iv)Commercial: to date, the Company has continued with its transactions as planned, maintaining service to its customers in all its sectors of activity. Sales to a few customers located in Russia were suspended, without any significant financial impact.

(v)Continuity of operations: The conflict in Israel may result in disruptions to biotechnology research and development operations at FuturaGene Israel Ltd.

As a result of the current scenario, the Company has taken steps to expand its monitoring of the situation, together with its main stakeholders, in order to ensure any updates and information flows required for its global decision-making are available in a timely manner.

1.2.2 Cerrado Project

On July 21, 2024, the Cerrado Project started its operation. The plant has a nominal capacity of 2,550,000 tons of eucalyptus pulp production per year. The total investment is R$22,200,000, with substantial payments during the years of 2021 to 2025.

1.2.3 Cancellation of shares and new share buyback program

On January 26, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the cancellation of 20,000,000 common shares, with an average cost of R$42.69 per share, in the amount of R$853,725, which were held in treasury, without changing the share capital and against the balances of retained earnings reserves available.

Additionally, on August 9, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the cancellation of an additional 40,000,000 common shares, with an average cost of R$51.25 per share, valued at R$2,050,062, which were held in treasury, without changing the share capital and against the balances of available profit reserves.

After the cancellation of the shares, the share capital of R$19,269,281 is divided into 1,264,117,615 common shares, all nominative, book-entry and with no par value.

Suzano S.A. suzano-selo100anosxprincip.jpg
Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information
Nine-month period ended September 30, 2024
suzano-selo100anosxprincipa.jpg

On the same date, the Company approved a new share buyback program, in which it may acquire up to a maximum of 40,000,000 common shares of its own issue with a maximum period of 18 months, which will end on February 9, 2026.

1.2.4 Share capital increase

On April 25, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the increase in the Company's capital stock, in the amount of R$10,000,000, without the issuance of new shares, pursuant to article 169, paragraph 1, of the Brazilian Corporation Law, to be paid in through the capitalization of the balance of the Capital Increase Reserve, pursuant to Article 199 of the Brazilian Corporation Law.

1.2.5 Acquisition of equity interest in a specialty fibers business

On August 30, 2024, the Company acquired from B & C Alpha Zweite Holding GmbH & Co KG (“B&C”) 5,792,727 shares which represents 15% of the issued share capital of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft (“Lenzing”), the “Lenzing Transaction”. The Lenzing Transaction was completed after all precedent conditions were fulfilled. The fair value of the cash consideration transferred was EUR 229,971 (equivalent to R$1,436,814), at a price of EUR 39.70 per share.

The main terms and conditions of the Transaction are:

(i) the right of Suzano to hold two out of ten seats on Lenzing’s Supervisory Board; and

(ii) Suzano has a right to alter the controlling position by acquiring an additional 15.00% of the shares held by B&C as part of a mandatory takeover offer to be made by Suzano for all shares of Lenzing under Austrian Takeover Law at a price to be set in accordance with the requirements of the Austrian Takeover Law. Such right can be exercised by Suzano as from the day after the first anniversary of closing until the end of 2028;

Management assessed the Lenzing Transaction in accordance with CPC 18 (R3)/ IAS 28 and even though Suzano has two seats on Lenzing’s Supervisory Board, it was concluded that Suzano does not have significant influence over Lenzing since it has no power to participate in decision making, policy making and decisions about dividends or other distributions. Therefore, the investment was recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), in accordance with CPC 48/IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value adjustment resulted in an negative impact of EUR 23,750 (equivalent to R$144,209).

1.2.6 Share purchase agreement - Timber

On July 31, 2024, the Company concluded the transaction to purchase 100% of the share capital of the Timber VII SPE S.A. and Timber XX SPE S.A. (the "Timber Transaction"), after completion of all conditions precedent. The fair value of consideration transferred in cash was R$2,143,821.

Considering the characteristics of the assets (substantially land and biological assets), the Company elected to apply the optional test to identify a concentration of fair value under paragraph B7A of IFRS 3 and therefore the Timber Transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

The impact of this acquisition is reflected in the line-item asset acquisition, net of cash, in the consolidated statement of cash flow. The cash of these companies was R$19,113.

On September 30, 2024, these companies were merged to the Company. The merger did not result in a capital increase, given that the Company already held, directly or indirectly, 100% of the share capital of these companies.

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information are expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais (“R$”), as well as the amounts of other currencies, when applicable, were also expressed in thousands, unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information requires Management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt policies in the process of applying accounting practices that affect the disclosed amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, including the disclosure of contingent liabilities assumed. However, the uncertainty inherent to these judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities in future periods.

The Company reviews its judgments, estimates and assumptions continually as disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Note 3.2.34). For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, there were no changes in these judgments, estimates and assumptions compared to disclosed on December 31, 2023.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was prepared on historical cost basis, except for the following material items recognized:

(i)Derivative and non-derivative financial instruments measured at fair value;

(ii)Share-based payments and employee benefits measured at fair value; and

(iii)Biological assets measured at fair value;

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was prepared under the going concern assumption.

3 SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was prepared based on the information of Suzano and its subsidiaries on the same base date, except for associates Ensyn, Futuragene and Spinnova, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting policies and practices.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, considering that its purpose is to provide an update on the activities, events and significant circumstances in relation to those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

3.1 New accounting policies and changes in accounting policies adopted

The new standards and interpretations issued, until the issuance of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information, are described below.

3.1.1 Amendments to IFRS 7 – Supplier financing agreements and IAS 7 Statement of cash flow

The amendments to IAS 1 affect only the presentation of liabilities as current or non-current in the balance sheet, and not the amount or the timing of the recognition of any asset, liability, income or expense, or the information disclosed about these items.

The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on the rights existing at the balance sheet date, specify that the classification is not affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to postpone the settlement of the liability, explain that the rights exist if restrictive clauses are complied with at the balance sheet date, and introduce the definition of 'settlement' to clarify that it refers to a transfer to a counterparty of an amount in cash, equity instruments, other assets or services.

The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any impact.

3.1.2 Amendments to IFRS 16 – Lease liability in a sale and leaseback transaction

The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to the disclosure of accounting policies. The amendments replace all instances of the term ‘significant accounting policies’ with ‘material accounting policy information’. Accounting policy information is material if, considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of the financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

The supporting paragraphs in IAS 1 are also amended to clarify that accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial, and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.

The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any impact.

3.1.3 Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of liabilities as current or non-current and non-current liabilities with covenants

The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. The definition of a change in accounting estimates was deleted. However, the Board retained the concept of changes in accounting estimates in the Standard through the following clarifications:

(i)A change in accounting estimates that results from new information or new developments does not constitute the correction of an error

(ii)The effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate represent changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors

The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any impact.

3.1.4 IFRIC agenda decision - disclosure of revenues and expenses for reportable segments (IFRS 8)

In July 2024, the IASB approved an IFRIC agenda decision in relation to segment reporting. The decision deals with how an entity applies the requirements in paragraph 23 of IFRS 8 to disclose for each reportable segment specified amounts related to segment profit or loss.

The Company is assessing the content of this IFRIC agenda decision.

The Company’s purpose is to maintain a strong cash and marketable securities position to meet its financial and operating commitments.

All derivative financial instruments were traded over the counter and do not require deposit guarantee margins.

4.4.1 Exchange rate risk management

As disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Note 4), the Company enters into US$ selling transactions in the futures markets, including strategies involving options, to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of revenue. Such transactions are limited to a percentage of the net surplus foreign currency over a 24-months’ time horizon and therefore, are matched to the availability of currency for sale in the short term. The Company's Board of Directors approved the contracting of extraordinary hedge, in addition to the strategy mentioned above, for investments in the Cerrado Project, with a term of up to 36 months as of November 2021, in an amount of up to US$1,000,000. On July 27, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of the program, increasing the maximum amount (notional) to US$1,500,000, maintaining the previously established deadline. In order to provide transparency on the hedge program for the Cerrado Project, since December 31, 2021 the Company has started to prominently disclose the respective contracted operations.

The assets and liabilities that are exposed to foreign currency, substantially in US$, are set forth below:

(62,717,053) (42,994,127)

4.4.1.1 Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange rate exposure – except for derivative financial instruments

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to evaluate both its asset and liability positions in foreign currency, and the possible effects on its results. The probable scenario represents the amounts recognized, as they reflect the conversion into Brazilian Reais on the balance sheet date (R$ to US$ = R$5.4481).

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly interest rates, remain constant. The other scenarios considered the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US$ at the rates of 25% and 50% before taxes.

Liabilities for asset acquisitions and subsidiaries (80,941) (20,235) (40,471)

4.4.1.2 Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange rate exposure – derivative financial instruments

The Company has sales operations in US$ in the futures markets, including strategies using options, to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of its revenue. These operations are limited to a percentage of the total exposure to US$ over a 24-month horizon, and are therefore pegged to the availability of ready-to-sell foreign exchange in the short term.

In addition to the transaction described above, the Company also taken out derivative instruments linked to the US$ and subject to exchange fluctuations, seeking to adjust the debt's currency indexation to the cash generation currency, as provided for in its financial policies.

For the calculation of the mark-to-market (“MtM”) price, the exchange rate of the last business day of the period is used. These market movements caused a negative impact on the mark-to-market position entered into by the Company.

This analysis below assumes that all other variables, particularly the interest rates, remain constant. The other scenarios considered the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US$ by 25% and 50%, before taxes, based on the base scenario on September 30, 2024.

The following table set out the possible impacts assuming these scenarios:

09/30/2024
Effect on profit or loss
Probable (base value) Possible 25% Remote 50%

4.4.2 Interest rate risk management

Fluctuations in interest rates could increase or reduce the costs of new loans and existing contracted operations.

Suzano S.A. suzano-selo100anosxprincip.jpg
Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information

The Company is constantly looking for alternatives for the use of financial instruments in order to avoid negative impacts on its cash flow due to fluctuations in interest rates in Brazil or abroad.

4.4.2.1 Sensitivity analysis – exposure to interest rates – except for derivative financial instruments

For its market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity of changes in operations impacted by the following rates: Interbank Deposit Rate (“CDI”), Long Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”), Long Term Rate ("TLP"), Special System for Settlement and Custody (“SELIC”) and SOFR, which could impact the results. The probable scenario represents the amounts already booked, as they reflect Management’s best estimates.

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly exchange rates, will remain constant. The other scenarios considered a depreciation of 25% and 50% in market interest rates.

The following table set forth the possible impacts assuming these scenarios in absolute amounts:

4.4.2.3 Sensitivity analysis to changes in the consumer price indices of the US economy

For the measurement of the probable scenario, the United States Consumer Price Index (“US-CPI”) was considered on September 30, 2024. The probable scenario was extrapolated considering a depreciation of 25% and 50% in the US-CPI to define the possible and remote scenarios, respectively.

The following table sets out the possible impacts, assuming these scenarios in absolute amounts:

09/30/2024
Effect on profit or loss
Probable (base value) Possible (25%) Remote (50%)
Embedded derivative in a commitment to purchase standing wood, originating from a forest partnership agreement 76,356 (30,933) (63,434)

4.4.3 Commodity price risk management

The Company is exposed to commodity prices, mainly in the selling price of pulp in the international market. The dynamics of rising and falling production capacities in the global market and macroeconomic conditions may impact the Company´s operating results.

Through a specialized team, the Company monitors hardwood pulp prices and analyses future trends, adjusting the forecasts aimed at assisting with preventive measures to calculate the different scenarios. There is no sufficiently liquid financial market to mitigate the risk of a material portion of the Company’s operations. Hardwood pulp price protection instruments available on the market have low liquidity and low volume, and high levels of distortion in price formation.

The Company is also exposed to international oil prices, reflected in logistical costs for selling in the export market, and indirectly in the costs of other supply, logistics and service contracts. In such cases, the Company evaluates whether to contract derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk of price variations in its results.

4.5 Derivative financial instruments

The Company determines the fair value of derivative contracts, which differ from the amounts realized in the event of early settlement due to bank spreads and market factors at the time of quotation. The amounts presented by the Company are based on an estimate using market factors and use data provided by third parties, measured internally and compared to calculations performed by external consultants and by counterparties.

Details of derivative financial instruments and their respective calculation methodologies are disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (Note 4).

(1)The embedded derivative refers to a swap contract for the sale of price variations in US$ and US-CPI within the term of a forest partnership with a standing wood supply contract.

The current contracts and the respective protected risks are set forth below:

(i)Swap CDI x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps exchanging the variation of the Interbank Deposit rate (“DI”) for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to change the debt indexed in Brazilian Reais to US$, in compliance with the Company's natural exposure to US$ receivables.

(ii)Swap IPCA x CDI (notional in Brazilian Reais): positions in conventional swaps exchanging the variation of the Amplified Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) for the DI rate. The objective is to change the debt indexed in reais, in compliance with the Company's cash position in Brazilian Reais, which is also indexed to DI.

(iii)Swap SOFR x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps exchanging a post-fixed rate (SOFR) for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to protect the cash flow against changes in the US interest rate.

(iv)Pre-Fixed Swap R$ x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps of a fixed rate in Reais for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to change the exposure of debts in Brazilian Reais to US$, in compliance with the Company's natural exposure to US$ receivables.

(v)SOFR x SOFR Swap: swap position exchanging a fixed rate added to SOFR for another fixed rate added to SOFR. The objective is to generate a fee discount for Prepayment with the banking institution, allowing for reversal mechanisms.

(vi)CDI x SOFR Swap: positions in conventional swaps exchanging the variation in the Interbank Deposit rate (“DI”) for a post-fixed rate (“SOFR”) US$. The objective is to change the debt index in reais to US$, aligning with the natural exposure of the Company's US$ receivables and capturing a lower cost of debt through the fluctuation of SOFR rate projections.

(vii)Zero Cost Collar: positions in an instrument that consists of the simultaneous combination of a purchase of put options and the sale of call options in US$, with the same principal amount and maturity, with the objective of protecting the cash flow of exports. Under this strategy, an interval is established where there is no deposit or receipt of financial margin at the option maturity. The objective is to protect the cash flow of exports against the depreciation of the Brazilian Real.

(viii)Non-Deliverable Forward contracts (“NDF”): short positions in US$ futures contracts with the objective of protecting the cash flow from exports against the depreciation of the Brazilian Real.

(ix)Swap US-CPI: The embedded derivative refers to the swap contracts for selling price variations in US$ and the US-CPI in forest partnership with a standing wood supply contract.

(x)Non-Deliverable Forward contracts: EUR and US$: call positions at EUR/US$ parity to protect the Capex cash flow of the Cerrado project against the appreciation of the Euro.

(xi)Swap Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil / Brent (“VLSFO”): Long positions in oil, aimed at hedging logistical costs related to maritime freight contracts against the increase in oil prices.

(xii)Zero Cost Collar (Brent): positions in an instrument that consists of the simultaneous combination of buying call options and selling put options for oil - Brent, with the same principal value and maturity, with the objective of protecting input costs of oil derivatives. In this strategy, an interval is established where there is no deposit or receipt of financial margin at the expiration of the options. The objective is to protect costs against rising oil prices.

The variation in the fair values of derivatives on September 30, 2024 compared to the fair values measured on December 31, 2023 are explained substantially by the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US$ and by settlements during the period. There were also impacts caused by the variations in the Pre Fixed, Foreign Exchange Coupon and SOFR curves in the operations.

It is important to highlight that the outstanding agreements on September 30, 2024 are over-the-counter market operations, without any type of collateral margin or forced early settlement clause due to variations from market marking.

The Company carries out factoring transactions for certain customer receivables where it transfers the control of all risks and rewards related to these receivables to the counterparty, so these receivables are derecognized from accounts receivable in the balance sheet. This transaction refers to an additional cash generation opportunity which can be discontinued at any time without significant impacts on the Company's operation and is therefore classified as a financial asset measured at amortized cost. The impact of these factoring transactions on the accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024, was R$6,153,004 (R$4,273,623 as of December 31, 2023).

Long-term benefits include the stock option plan and phantom shares for executives and key members of Management, in accordance with the specific regulations disclosed in Note 22.

12 INCOME AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TAXES

The Company calculates income tax and social contribution taxes, current and deferred, based on the following rates: (i) 15% plus an additional 10% on taxable income in excess of R$240 for IRPJ; and (ii) 9% for CSLL, on the net income. Balances are recognized in the Company's income on an accrual basis.

Subsidiaries domiciled in Brazil have their taxes calculated and provisioned in accordance with the current legislation and their specific tax regime, including, in some cases, the presumed profit method. Subsidiaries domiciled abroad are subject to taxation in their respective jurisdictions, according to local regulations.

Deferred income and social contribution taxes are recognized at the net amounts in non-current assets or liabilities.

In Brazil, Law nº. 12,973/14 revoked article 74 of Provisional Measure nº. 2,158/01 and determines that the parcel of the adjustment of the value of the investment in subsidiaries, direct and indirect, domiciled abroad, equivalent to the profit earned by them before income tax, except for exchange rate variation, must be added in the determination of taxable income and the social contribution calculation basis of the controlling entity domiciled in Brazil, at each year ended.

The Company management believes in the validity of the provisions of international treaties entered by Brazil to avoid double taxation. In order to ensure its right to non-double taxation, the Company filed a lawsuit in April 2019, which aims to exempt the double taxation in Brazil, of profits earned by its subsidiary located in Austria, according to Law No. 12,973/14. Due to the preliminary injunction granted in favor of the Company in the aforementioned lawsuit, the Company decided not to add the profit from Suzano International Trading GmbH, located in Austria, when determining its taxable income and social contribution basis of the net profit of the Company for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. There is no provision for tax related to the non-double taxation profits of such subsidiary in 2024. Disclosures about uncertain tax positions for income tax and social contribution (IFRIC 23) are presented in Note 20.2.

(1)The difference in the taxation of subsidiaries is substantially due to the differences between the nominal tax rates in Brazil and those of subsidiaries located abroad.

(2)The Brazilian thin capitalization rules establish that interest paid or credited by a Brazilian entity to a related party abroad may only be deducted for income tax and social contribution purposes if the interest expense is viewed as necessary for the activities of the local entity, and when certain limits and requirements are met. On September 30, 2024, all limits and requirements were met, and on September 30, 2023, the Company did not meet all of the limits and requirements, and therefore the expense is not deductible for the period.

(3)Income tax and social contribution deduction on profit or loss referring to the use of tax incentives: (i) exploitation profits, (ii) expenses with research and development, (iii) PAT benefits ("Worker Food Program"), (iv) donations made in cultural projects, (v) children and adolescents rights funds, (vi) sports incentives, (vii) funds for the elderly and (viii) extensions to maternity and paternity leave.

12.3 Tax incentives

The Company benefits from a tax incentive for partial reduction of the income tax obtained from operations carried out in areas under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Development Superintendence (“SUDENE”) and the Superintendence of Amazon Development (“SUDAM”). The IRPJ reduction incentive is calculated based on the activity profits (exploitation profits) and considers the allocation of the operating profit based on the incentive production levels for each product.

12.4 OECD PILLAR TWO MODEL RULES

In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) announced the guidelines for the Pillar Two model, aiming for a reform in international corporate taxation to ensure that multinational economic groups, covered by such regulations, contribute an effective minimum tax at a rate of 15% on profits. Each country's effective profit tax rate, as calculated by this model, is called the GloBE (Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules) effective tax rate. These rules await approval in the local legislation of each country. In the context of Suzano, compliance with OECD guidelines on international taxation is a strategic priority.

Many countries have already released legislation or plans on the adoption of Pillar Two rules and the calculation of GloBE revenue, considering the global minimum rate of 15% for multinationals with consolidated revenue above EUR750 million.

The Company is monitoring the jurisdictions where the legislation was approved and is in force, as well as the progress of the legislative process in other countries, in order to map the potential effects on its operations.

From 2024, the Company is subject to OECD Pillar Two model rules in some European jurisdictions, with emphasis only on Austria. There was no material impact on this unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information due to this topic.

i)Pulp: comprised of the production and sale of hardwood eucalyptus pulp and fluff pulp, mainly to supply the foreign market.
