Special Note Regarding Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Our management uses certain non-IFRS measures as an additional measure of operational performance of our business.
A non-IFRS financial measure is any financial measure that is presented other than in accordance with all relevant IFRS Accounting Standards. We disclose our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this annual report, which are considered to be non-IFRS financial measures. EBITDA is calculated as Net income (loss) plus Net financial result, Income and social contribution taxes, and Depreciation, amortization and depletion. Our Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA as further adjusted to add or exclude the following items, as specifically indicated in the table further below:
(i) Exceptional adjustments that impacted the income statement but did not affect ongoing operations under normal course of business and/or no longer generate future economic benefits for us; and
5
Table of Contents
(ii) Other non-cash adjustments or specific adjustments that by their nature and scope, do not reflect our operational performance for the specific period, in our management’s view. This includes (a) Fair Value Update - Biological Asset, (b) results from sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment and biological assets, (c) Accrual (reversal) of losses on ICMS credits, and (d) other items indicated in the table below.
The non-IFRS financial measures described in this annual report are not a substitute for the IFRS Accounting Standards measures of net income or other performance measures. Our management believes that disclosure of our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors, financial analysts and the public in their review of our operating performance and their comparison of our operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry and other industries. For example, interest expense is dependent on the capital structure and credit rating of a company. However, debt levels, credit ratings and, therefore, the impact of interest expense on earnings vary significantly between companies. Similarly, the tax positions of individual companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and the differing jurisdictions in which they transact business. Finally, companies differ in the age and method of acquisition of productive assets, and thus the relative costs of those assets, as well as in the depreciation method (straight-line, accelerated or units of production), which can result in considerable variation in depreciation and amortization expenses between companies. Therefore, for comparison purposes, our management believes that our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of operating profitability because they exclude these elements of earnings that do not provide information about the current operations of existing assets.
Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently, and therefore our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Each of these non-IFRS financial measures are important measures to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that the disclosure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors and financial analysts in their review of our operating performance and in the comparison of such operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry or in other industries that have different capital structures, debt levels and/or income tax rates. The presentation of non-IFRS financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

Risk Factors
We are subject to various risks and uncertainties resulting from changing competitive, economic, political, environmental and social conditions that could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition. The risks described below, although not being the only ones we face are the most important ones according to our ability to identify material risks. Other risks that we presently believe are not material could also adversely affect us.
Risks Relating to the Pulp and Paper Industry
Our products’ prices are greatly affected by international market prices, which vary depending on a number of factors that are beyond our control. Significant price decreases could adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions and our ability to operate our plants in an economically viable manner.
Pulp markets are typically cyclical, and our pulp prices follow international market prices, which are determined by supply and demand, global pulp production capacity and global economic conditions. Such prices can also be affected by exchange rate fluctuations between the currencies of main producing and consuming countries, movement of inventories, diverging price expectations, business strategies adopted by other producers and availability of substitutes for our products, among others. All of these factors are beyond our control and may have a significant impact on the prices for pulp and, consequently, on our operational margins and profitability. Fluctuations in pulp price may lead us to adopt changes in our commercial strategy or production, which also may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation.
Paper prices are also determined by supply and demand conditions in the markets in which they are sold, and are affected by various factors, including the fluctuation in pulp prices and the specific characteristics of the markets in which we operate.

We cannot assure that pulp and paper market prices and demand for our products will remain favorable to us, and any adverse price or demand fluctuations, which may occur rapidly in our markets, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions and our ability to operate our plants in an economically viable manner.
We are highly dependent on our planted forest areas for the supply of wood, which is essential to our production processes, and any damage to our forest areas or impact on prices of land may adversely affect us.
Most of the wood used in our production processes is supplied by our own forestry operations, which include planted forest areas located in close proximity to our production facilities. The wood market in Brazil is very regional and limited in wood availability, as most pulp and paper producers are integrated and utilize wood grown in their own planted forests to meet their wood requirements.
Our planted forests are subject to natural threats, such as drought, fire, pests and diseases, which may reduce our supply of wood or increase the price of wood we acquire. Our planted areas are also subject to other threats, considering their wide territorial coverage and proximity to a significant number of neighbors and local communities, including loss of possession due to social unrest or squatter invasion, land title disputes, wood theft, or arson, which may result in real damage to our planting and transit areas and may adversely affect our results.
In addition, the physical effects of climate change may materially and adversely affect our operations, for example by changing air temperature and water levels, and subjecting us to unusual or different weather-related risks. Any climate changes that negatively affect the favorable climate conditions in Brazil may adversely affect the growth rate and quality of our plantations, or our production costs. Although we cannot predict the impact of changing global climate conditions, any such occurrences may increase our liabilities and capital expenditures and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, in acquiring land for our timber plantations, we compete with other crops, as well as with cattle breeders, which could ultimately raise land prices or make it more difficult for us to contract independent third parties to cultivate eucalyptus.
Drought in some regions of Brazil, resulting in water scarcity and related rationing, may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
In Brazil, some regions might have drought conditions during some seasons of the year, which could result in acute shortages of water and implementation of rationing to restrict usage. Some of our units are located in the affected areas and we cannot assure that our processes for efficient use of water and contingency plans will be able to avoid impacts from severe droughts or governmental measures to address drought conditions on our units’ operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We face significant operational risks that can result in the shutdown of our operations, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We face operational risks that may result in partial or temporary suspension of our operations and in loss of production. Such outages may be caused by factors associated with equipment failure, information system disruptions or failures (including due to cyber-attacks), accidents, fires, strikes, invasions, acts of war, armed conflicts, weather, exposure to natural disasters, regional water crisis, electricity power outages and chemical product spills, accidents involving water reservoirs, landfills, revocation of licenses, labor restrictions by pandemics, among other operational and environmental hazards. The occurrence of these events may, among other impacts, result in serious damage to our property, assets and reputation, liability for damages to the environment and third parties, a decrease in production or an increase in production costs, any of which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Increasing geopolitical tensions and hostilities in connection with the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, and tensions between China and Taiwan and the global security concerns and market volatility and the trade and monetary sanctions that have been imposed in connection with those developments, have affected, and could affect, worldwide markets, cause turmoil in the global financial system and negatively impact our operations.

Certain of our assets, notably biological assets measured at fair value, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, may be impacted by climate events. Effects of climate change, such as rising temperatures, scarcity of water resources, fires and impacts arising from the greater presence and resistance of pests and other forest diseases favored by the gradual increase in temperature, as well as other adverse weather events, may impact the determination of fair value of biological assets, cause the loss of biological assets, reduce productivity or event result in interruptions of our production. In addition, regulatory and legal changes related to a transition to a low-carbon economy and/or with greater biodiversity might impose additional costs and create greater risk of litigation and/or commercial restrictions to our business.
During the normal course of our business, we depend on the continuous availability of logistics and transportation networks, including roads, railways, warehouses and ports, among others. Such operations may be disrupted by factors beyond our control, such as social movements, geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters, electricity shortages strikes and shutdowns (such as, for instance, trucker strikes). Any interruption in the supply of inputs for the operation of our industrial and forestry units or in the delivery of our finished products to clients could cause a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
We have entered into contracts with third parties to provide transportation and logistics services. The early termination of these contracts or our inability to renew them or negotiate new contracts with other service providers with similar conditions could adversely affect our financial and operating condition. In addition, most of our suppliers of transportation operate under concessions granted by the Brazilian government. The loss or non- renewal of such concessions without timely replacement for new concessions to third parties that can continue the services provided and willing to do so on similar terms as the previous service providers may also adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, we are subject to quality control risks associated with our products, which may affect our consumer market and customers. In this sense, we note that our products have several properties that influence the processes of our customers, as well as the quality of the products they produce. Accordingly, we are also subject to any potential claims relating to the quality of our products, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We depend on third-party suppliers and service providers for a significant portion of our wood, other essential raw materials, inputs, energy and certain critical services.
Our wood resources are not sufficient to satisfy our production needs, and, accordingly, we seek additional wood supply from third parties through agreements to purchase standing forests or for purchases of wood delivered to our factories. Medium and long-term supply agreements with wood suppliers may vary between one to three forest cycles, each cycle lasting approximately seven years. Lease agreements or forest partnerships have an average term of 14 years. Wood price conditions are subject to cyclical and circumstantial variations of wood demand in the different regions where we operate. A material failure to obtain wood from third party suppliers or a material interruption in our current supply arrangements may result in a significant reduction in available wood for processing at our plants, which may adversely affect our production and, accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, we have few sources for certain raw materials, inputs, energy and services that are essential for the production of pulp and paper, including fuel oil, bleached chemothermomechanical pulp, peroxide, caustic soda, natural gas, fertilizers and third-party industry technology (maintenance). We enter into medium and long-term supply agreements with such suppliers or service providers. Some of these raw materials, inputs and energy like brent-linked products, caustic soda and natural gas make up a significant portion of our cash production cost. Any significant reduction in the supply or increase in prices, as may be the result of a prolonged war in the Middle East, on behalf of the relevant supplier or service provider, of any of these raw materials or services, as well as our inability to maintain the relationship or find suitable substitutes for these suppliers or service providers, could adversely affect our products’ mix, margin or availability and, consequently, our results of operations.

Table of Contents
We cannot guarantee that our supplies and service providers will comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to working conditions, sustainability, production chain assurance and appropriate safety conditions. Brazilian law may impose liability on us for improper practices of our supplies and service providers. If our suppliers or service providers engage in improper business practices (particularly improper or illegal environmental or labor practices), our business, results of operations and reputation may be adversely affected.
Investments by us or our competitors to enhance pulp and paper production capacity in the future may adversely affect the market price for our products.
New capacity projects developed by us or our competitors may create an imbalance between supply and demand of pulp and paper, which may cause a reduction in pulp and paper prices. Investments in new capacity may have a negative impact on pulp and paper prices and, consequently, on our financial condition or results of operations.
We face significant competition in some of our lines of business, which may adversely affect our market share in the pulp and paper industries and our profitability.
The pulp and paper markets are extremely competitive. We face substantial competition in both domestic and international markets from a large number of companies, some of which have extensive access to financial resources and low capital costs. In the domestic market, we face competition from national products, produced by companies of Brazilian and international groups, and imported products. In the international market, we compete against companies with large production and distribution capacities, significant consumer base and great variety of products.
In addition, the oversupply of coated paper and paperboard in the world market, the antidumping measures adopted in other countries and the use of imported coated paper for alternative purposes, especially during periods of prolonged appreciation of the
real
against the U.S. dollar, may increase competition in Brazil from producers of imported paper. If the Brazilian federal government were to decrease import taxes, or in the event of sustained appreciation of the
real
against the U.S. dollar, competition in Brazil from international producers may increase. The occurrence or continuation of any of the foregoing events could adversely affect us.
Additionally, the pulp and paper markets are served by numerous companies located in different countries. If we are unable to remain competitive against these producers in the future, our market share may be adversely affected. Other companies operating in the same segments may compete with us for acquisition and alliance opportunities. Strategic acquisitions or alliances by our competitors could affect our ability to enter into or consummate acquisitions and alliances that are necessary to expand our business. We may also face elevated costs associated with restructuring and financing in relation to acquisitions or strategic partnerships in comparison to our competitor companies. Companies that are better positioned to enter into acquisitions or alliances may benefit from preferable production costs, which may affect our competitiveness and market share.
Other factors affecting our ability to compete include the entry of new competitors into the markets we serve, increased competition from overseas producers, our competitors’ pricing strategies, the introduction by our competitors of new technologies and equipment, our ability to anticipate and respond to changing customer preferences and our ability to maintain the cost-efficiency of our facilities. In addition, changes within these industries, including the consolidation of our competitors and our customers, may impact competitive dynamics.
Periods of limited or unavailable financing may increase our financial costs and restrict the terms or availability of market funding, potentially adversely impacting our operations.
Brazilian paper and pulp companies have made significant investments overtime in order to compete more efficiently and on a larger scale in the international market. This trend has enhanced the need for resources and diversification of financing sources among national and foreign financial institutions.

Table of Contents
In this context, we depend on third-party capital to conduct our business, by means of financing transactions to support our investments and working capital. We cannot assure that our current sources of funds will be sufficient or that they will remain available to meet our capital needs, which may require us to seek additional funds in the financial and capital markets. In liquidity restriction periods, such as the ones of 2008 and 2009 that occurred due to the international financial crisis, credit lines may become excessively short, expensive or even unavailable. Under these circumstances, there is a higher risk of not achieving success in financing and refinancing transactions, meaning that there is a higher possibility of failure in obtaining financing in the market in order to pay down existing indebtedness, as well as a higher risk of raising these funds at an elevated cost or subject to posting collateral, which may adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
We are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may become more stringent over time. Changes in these requirements could increase our compliance and operating costs. In addition, failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations may expose us to administrative, civil, or criminal penalties, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
Our activities are subject to extensive environmental regulation, including in relation to gas emissions, liquid effluents and solid waste management, reforestation and odor control, as well as maintenance of Land Reserve (
Reserva Legal
) and Permanent Preservation Areas (
Área de Preservação Permanente
). Our industrial and forestry activities also require periodic renewal of environmental permits.
Environmental standards that are applicable to us are issued at the federal, state and municipal levels, and changes in the laws, rules, policies or procedures adopted in the enforcement of the current laws may adversely affect us. In Brazil, violations of environmental laws, regulations and authorizations could result in administrative, civil or criminal penalties for us, our management and our employees, including fines, imprisonment, interruption of our activities and dissolution of our corporate entity.
Governmental agencies or other competent authorities may provide new rules or additional regulations even stricter than the ones in force, or they may pursue a stricter interpretation of the existing laws and regulations, which could require us to invest additional resources in environmental compliance or to restrict our ability to operate as currently done. Additionally, noncompliance with or a violation of any such laws and regulations could result in the revocation of our licenses and suspension of our activities or in our liability for environmental remediation costs, which could be substantial. Moreover, failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations could restrict our ability to obtain financing from financial institutions.
In December 2015, several countries (including Brazil) signed the Paris Agreement, a global environmental agreement adopting the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions, or INDCs, as the measures taken to reduce its emissions after 2020. The INDC that applies to Brazil provides for an increase in the share of sustainable biofuels and other sources of renewable energy in the Brazilian national energy mix, as well as zero deforestation, reforestation, forest restoration and enhancement of the native forest management. Considering the amplitude of the operation, we may be materially affected by more restrictive national or foreign environmental laws and regulations related to greenhouse gases and climate change, to the extent that such new laws or regulations may cause an increase in capital expenditures and investments to comply with such laws, and indirectly, by changes in prices for transportation, energy and other inputs. Both the regulations related to climate change and the changes in existing regulations, as well as the physical effects of climate change generally, could result in increased liabilities and capital expenditures, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Failure to obtain, timely renew or maintain permits, licenses and concessions, grants and registrations necessary to develop our activities, as well as any cancellation thereof, could adversely affect our operations.
Our operations are dependent upon the issuance of authorizations, licenses, concessions, grants and registrations from various federal, state and municipal authorities. The obtaining of licenses for certain activities, particularly those with potential environmental impacts, may require investments in conservation and/or restoration measures in order to mitigate or offset such impacts. We currently hold all requisite authorizations necessary for the operation of our factories and other activities, which generally have a fixed term of validity. In order to renew them, we are required to periodically report our compliance with the requirements and standards established by the competent governmental authorities.
11
Table of Contents
The expansion of our operations and/or changes in applicable regulations may require us to apply for new authorizations, licenses, concessions, grants and registrations with government authorities, and there can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained in a timely manner. The failure to obtain, or any delay in obtaining such approvals may delay the implementation of new activities, adversely affect project schedules, increase costs, and result in the imposition of fines and/or orders to pay financial compensation.
The failure to obtain or renew such authorizations in a timely manner, their possible cancellation, as well as any non-compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our financial and operating results and our reputation. In addition, non-compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations may result in the partial or total suspension of our operational activities, which could further adversely affect our financial position and reputation.
Global or regional economic conditions and events may adversely affect the demand for and the price of our products.
Demand for pulp and paper is directly related to the growth of the world economy and economic conditions. Currently, Europe, China and North America are the main consumer markets of the industry. Fluctuations in the value of local currency versus the U.S. dollar, downturns in economic activity, nationalization or any change in social, political or labor conditions in any of these countries or regions impacting matters such as sustainability, environmental regulations and trade policies and agreements, could negatively affect our financial results. Any slowing of economic growth in Europe, China and North America could adversely affect the price and volume of our exports and thus impact our operating performance.
According to market statistics (PPPC), Chinese demand represented 41% of the global market pulp demand in 2025, 39% in 2024 and 42% in 2023, and this demand has increased at a compound annual growth rate of 6.9% since 2010, above the global average of 2.2%.
The outbreak of communicable diseases worldwide may lead to increased volatility in the global capital markets, impacting the trading market for the securities issued by us.
Outbreaks or potential outbreaks of diseases may have an adverse effect on global capital markets (including the capital markets in which our securities are traded), on the global economy (including the Brazilian economy) and on the price of our shares. Historically, pandemics, as well as regional or global epidemics and outbreaks, have affected sectors of the economy in countries where these diseases have spread, adversely impacting global commercial activity and contributing to significant volatility in the market. In light of our activities in the foreign market, such events or potential reactions and mandates from government authorities could cause disruption of regional and global supply chains and economic activity, including significant volatility in demand, which could adversely affect our operations and financial results. Prolonged closures, stoppages and shutdowns, if continuing, may disrupt our operations and the operations of our suppliers, service providers and customers and could materially, adversely affect our revenues, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows.
Further, additional waves of outbreaks — including new variants that are more or less aggressive and contagious — may occur, and the intensity of the economic slowdown resulting from actions taken or to be taken by government authorities in response to the pandemic are unpredictable, especially considering that both the severity of the disease and the action plan of local authorities will depend on various unknown factors.
Our exports are subject to special risks that may adversely affect our business.
We export to different regions of the world, which makes us subject to special political and regulatory risks, including currency controls in countries where we have payments receivable, possible formal or informal trade barriers and incentive policies and subsidies favoring local producers in many regions.
12
Table of Contents
Thus, our future financial performance will depend on the economic, political, environmental and social conditions of our main export markets (Europe, Asia and North America). As a result, factors that are beyond our control include:
•
imposition of barriers to trade by certain countries to limit the access of Brazilian companies to their markets or even to subsidize local producers, particularly with respect to paper products, or the granting of commercial incentives in favor of local producers;
•
changes in economic policies and/or conditions of the countries to which we export, which may affect our export capacity and, consequently, our business and operating results;
•
logistics costs, including disruptions in shipping or reduced availability of freight transportation;
•
significant fluctuations in global demand for pulp products, which could impact our sales, operating income and cash flows;
•
the deterioration of global economic conditions, which could impair the financial condition of some of our customers or foreign suppliers, thereby increasing bad debts or non-performance by our foreign suppliers, as well as increasing our costs for financing and refinancing;
•
changes in revenues due to variations in foreign currency exchange rates;
•
controls on currency exchange; and
•
adverse consequences deriving from the need to comply with more stringent regulatory requirements in foreign countries, including environmental rules, regulations and certification requirements.
Risks Relating to Our Company
Failure to meet our stakeholders’ expectations regarding ESG matters may and expose us to various risks.
Some of our customers, investors, regulators and other key stakeholders are focused on environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) matters. New regulations and standards have been approved in multiple jurisdictions and investors have been imposing specific requirements. Regulatory and industry standards and expectations from global forums and stakeholders relating to ESG matters, including with respect to internal controls, assumptions and estimates, are still evolving. As these standards and expectations evolve, our previously acceptable practices may become outdated. This results in increased expenses and increased management time and attention dedicated to ESG-related requirements. If our practices and policies fail to meet our key stakeholders’ expectations in respect of ESG matters, our revenue, ability access to capital and our reputation may be adversely impacted. We have publicly shared our ESG initiatives and goals, which makes us subject to enhanced scrutiny from our investors, regulators and the public in general. A number of risks and factors may prevent us from achieving these goals, including our ability to meet the key performance indicators required by our debt instruments with ESG targets. Our failure to make progress in these areas on a timely basis, or revisions of our initiatives and goals, could adversely affect our financial condition and operations.
Navigating varying expectations of policymakers and other stakeholders demand internal and external engagement from management and has inherent costs and uncertainties, and any failure to successfully do so may expose us to negative publicity, shareholder activism, and litigation or other engagement from stakeholders, exposing us to reputational harm with our existing and prospective customers, employees and third parties with which we do business and could adversely affect our employee retention, brand and reputation.
We may not be able to successfully implement our strategy relating to acquisitions, joint ventures or similar transactions or manage risks derived from these transactions.
13
Table of Contents
As part of our business strategy, we have and may enter in the future into mergers, acquisitions and divestment from time to time. We may not be able to identify targets for our acquisition strategy or to successfully implement our divestment strategy, to successfully negotiate or close our merger and acquisition transactions, including by not receiving required regulatory approval in Brazil or abroad, or our newly acquired assets and facilities may not meet our financial, operational or performance expectations, which may adversely impact our business strategy and the trading price of our securities.
We enter from time to time into strategic alliances, joint ventures, divestitures and other strategic partnerships in Brazil or other countries. Conflicts and disagreements with our partners or counterparties, unexpected events or changes in market conditions or failure to manage strategic alliances could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition or prevent us from realizing expected gains of these acquisitions or alliances.
In addition, some of our assets may be controlled and managed by joint venture partners that may not fully comply with our standards, controls and procedures, including our health, safety, environment and community standards. Failure by any of our partners to adopt standards, controls and procedures equivalent to ours could lead to higher costs, reduced production or environmental, health and safety incidents or accidents, which could adversely affect our results and reputation.
We may not successfully integrate our acquired companies or capture the synergies expected from our mergers and acquisitions.
We may not be able to successfully integrate our acquired companies or to obtain synergies anticipated from our mergers or acquisitions. In particular, we may not be able to realize anticipated cost savings from combination of companies’ production facilities, or anticipated synergies from joint acquisitions of raw materials, sharing of improved production techniques and integration of administrative departments. If we fail to achieve the synergies from our mergers or acquisitions, our results of operations and financial condition and the trading price for our securities may be adversely affected. Even if we achieve the expected synergies eventual future mergers, we may not be able fully realize them within the anticipated timeframe.
We recorded a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets with a determined useful life, which may be subject to impairment charges under certain circumstances in future periods, in accordance with applicable accounting regulations. These charges could negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations, or the trading price of our securities.
Under IFRS Accounting Standards, goodwill and intangible assets with undetermined useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually to identify possible need for impairment, or more often if any event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Other intangible assets that have determined useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication of impairment. In addition, under IFRS Accounting Standards we are required to perform an impairment analysis of assets with undetermined useful life when the book value of our net assets exceeds our market capitalization. As a result, we may be required to record an impairment charge for goodwill or other intangible assets in future periods if required under IFRS Accounting Standards, which could lead to decreased assets and reduced net income. If a significant write down were required, the charge could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations or the trading price of our securities.

The level of our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and a material portion of our cash flow may need to be used to service our debt obligations, which could impair our ability to operate our business.
We are subject to the risks normally associated with significant amounts of debt, which could have important consequences to investors. Our indebtedness could, among other things: (i) require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay our obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, operations, capital expenditures, dividend payments, strategic acquisitions, expansion of our operations and other business activities; (ii) increase our vulnerability to a downturn in general economic and industry conditions, and may make us unable to carry out capital spending that is important to our growth; (iii) limit, along with restrictive covenants in our debt instruments, our ability to incur additional debt or equity financing or dispose of assets; and (iv) decrease our ability to deleverage and place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt.
A significant or prolonged downturn in general business and economic conditions, or other significant adverse developments with respect to our results of operations or financial condition, may affect our ability to comply with these covenants and could require us to take action to reduce our debt or to act in a manner contrary to our current business objectives. Moreover, the restrictions associated with these covenants may prevent us from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interest of our business and may make it difficult for us to execute our business strategy successfully or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted. Additionally, despite these restrictions, we may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, which might subject us to additional restrictive covenants that could affect our financial and operational flexibility and otherwise increase the risks associated with our indebtedness as noted above. We may also need to refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity, and we may not be able to do this on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Additionally, a default under our financial agreements that is not waived by the relevant creditors may result in an acceleration of the maturity of the outstanding balance of such debt and may also accelerate the maturity of other debt that benefits from cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions. For more information, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects —Indebtedness.” If such events were to occur, our financial condition and share price could be adversely affected.
We operate under certain tax regimes in Brazil and abroad that may be suspended, cancelled or not renewed, any of which may adversely affect our financial condition and free cash flow generation.
We receive certain tax benefits by virtue of our investment projects in underdeveloped regions in Brazil such as “SUDAM/SUDENE”, which are covered by the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service, or
Receita Federal do Brasil
(RFB). We also benefit from tax incentives granted by states based on state laws. The program “PROMARANHAO” in the state of Maranhão and the program “Desenvolve” in the state of Bahia, published through Special Regime nº 004/2012 and Decree No. 18,270/18, respectively, are the most relevant ones for our operations. We cannot assure you that the tax incentives we currently benefit from will be maintained or renewed, particularly, but not exclusively, in light of deteriorating macroeconomic conditions that may lead to changes in current material incentives, such as the “
Regime Especial de Aquisição de Bens de Capital para Empresas Exportadoras”
, which is a special regime for the acquisition of capital goods by exporting companies, and “
Preponderante Exportador”
(i.e. RECAP and REIDI), among others. If such tax benefits are not effectively renewed, this could have a material adverse effect on our generation of net cash flow. In the event of constitutional challenges or if we fail to comply with specific obligations to which we are subject in connection with the tax benefits described above, such benefits may be suspended or cancelled, and we may be required to pay the taxes deferred in the last five years in full, plus penalties and interest, which may adversely affect us.

Our exports and international trading activities are also conducted under certain tax regimes, including rulings and incentives in some foreign countries, including Austria. These tax rulings or benefits expire and have to be renewed from time to time. We cannot assure you that the tax regimes and incentives from which we currently benefit will be renewed or maintained in the future. In addition, we also benefit from provisions of international treaties entered by the Brazilian federal government, such as the Treaty to avoid Double Taxation between Brazil and Austria, pursuant to which profit earned by our wholly-owned subsidiary in Austria is not subject to taxation in Brazil.
Our interpretation of international treaty provisions may differ from that of the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (RFB). We filed a writ of mandamus in Brazil to enforce certain interpretations related to the Brazil-Austria Treaty. The trial court ruled in our favor, granting the writ and prohibiting the RFB from taxing the profits of the Austrian entity. This decision is subject to appeal, and we are awaiting the appellate court's decision. If the final ruling determines that the Brazil-Austria treaty does not prevent the RFB from taxing the profits of the Austrian entity, our financial position could be materially adversely affected.
Changes in fiscal policies and tax laws in Brazil and other jurisdictions may adversely affect us. Governments from time to time implement changes to tax laws and regulations.
Any such changes, as well as changes in the interpretation of such laws and regulations, or changes to former precedents on tax decisions by authorities or courts, may result in increases to our overall tax burden, which would negatively affect our profitability.
In June 2023, Brazil adopted rules for a transfer pricing (TP) model aligned with the OECD’s guidelines. This new TP system became mandatory for all taxpayers on January 1, 2024. As a result, the current transfer pricing practices between us and our Austrian entities has changed and may lead to a material impact on our financial condition and operational results. In Brazil, Constitutional Amendment (EC) No. 132 was enacted in 2023, establishing a tax reform on consumption. This reform adopts a Value Added Tax (VAT) model with dual competencies, consisting of a federal tax (Contribution on Goods and Services - “CBS”) and a subnational tax (Tax on Goods and Services - IBS), which will replace the existing PIS, COFINS, ICMS, and ISS taxes. Additionally, a Selective Tax (IS - “Imposto Seletivo”) has been introduced under federal jurisdiction, targeting the production, extraction, commercialization, or importation of goods and services detrimental to health and the environment, as defined by law. In January 2025 Supplementary Law No.214/2025 was enacted, creating the IBS, CBS and IS, and establishing the IBS Management Committee, in line with Constitutional Amendment No. 132. Several aspects of the tax reform, including new taxes rates, still shall be regulated through infraconstitutional legislation. A transition period is set from 2026 to 2032, during which both the old and new tax systems will coexist. The broad taxation and the estimated tax percentage may have an impact on our cash flow which may result in an increase in the tax burden. Given that the CBS and IBS will respectively replace the existing PIS/COFINS and ICMS/ISS, the tax benefits currently linked to PIS/COFINS will cease to apply as of 2027 and from 2029 onwards in relation to ICMS/ISS.
The Brazilian federal government continues to pursue a reduction in import tax which would increase competition and the role of international competitors, and has completed a legislative reform revoking the income tax exemption on the distribution of dividends. Starting January 1
st
, 2026, dividends and profits distributed to individuals residing in Brazil are subject to a 10% tax, applied exclusively to the portion exceeding R$50,000 per month, per distributing company. In addition, a 10% withholding tax will apply to dividends paid to beneficiaries abroad, regardless of the amount distributed. A tax credit will be available to foreign shareholders if the adjusted effective tax rate (ETR) of the distributing Brazilian legal entity exceeds the applicable nominal corporate income tax rate (generally 34%). Such tax credit may be claimed by foreign shareholders within 360 days from the end of the relevant fiscal year.
Further expanding the scope of the fiscal changes described above, in December 2025, Supplementary Law No. 224/2025 was enacted, establishing a mechanism for the linear reduction of tax incentives and benefits. The new rules took effect on January 1
st
, 2026, for benefits related to Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ), Social Security Contributions, and Withholding Income Tax (IRRF) on Interest on Equity (JCP), and will take effect on April 1
st
, 2026 for PIS, COFINS, IPI, and CSLL. We continue to monitor these developments and to mitigate any potential impacts arising from these changes.

Any other purported tax reform or change in fiscal policies, if proposed and implemented, may also significantly impact our business. If there is a tax reform or any changes in applicable laws and regulations that alter the applicable taxes or tax incentives/special regimes, either during or after their terms of validity, our business and results may be affected. Indeed, the Brazilian federal government has frequently implemented, and may continue to implement, changes in its fiscal policies, including, but not limited to, changes to tax rates, fees, sectorial charges and occasionally the collection of temporary contributions. Some of these measures may result in tax hikes that may negatively affect our business. Increases in taxes could also materially adversely impact industry profitability and the prices of our services, restrict our ability to do business in our existing and target markets and cause our financial results to be negatively impacted. If we are unable to pass on the additional costs associated with such fiscal policy changes to our clients through the prices we charge for our services, we may be adversely affected. Uncertainty over whether the acting Brazilian federal government will implement changes in policy or regulation affecting these or other factors in the future may contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the securities issued abroad by Brazilian companies. In October 2021, over 135 jurisdictions agreed on a plan to modernize the international tax system, introducing the Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules. These rules ensure that multinational enterprises with annual revenues of EUR 750 million or more pay a minimum 15% effective tax rate (ETR) in each jurisdiction where they operate. Several jurisdictions have already enacted the rules, including all EU member states (effective January 1, 2024), while others, such as Brazil, was implemented partially from January 1, 2025. However, some countries, such as the United States and China, have not taken any steps toward implementation.
Fluctuations in interest rates, as well as our inability to manage risks associated with the replacement of benchmark indices, could increase the cost of servicing our debt and negatively affect our overall financial performance.
Our financial results are affected by changes in interest rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), the Brazilian Interbank Deposit Certificate Rate (
Certificado de Depósito Interbancário
, or CDI) and the Brazilian Long-Term Rate (
Taxa de Longo Prazo
- TLP). The CDI rate has fluctuated significantly in the past in response to the expansion or contraction of the Brazilian economy, as it is an instrument for Brazilian Central Bank to manage inflation and pursuit its policies targets. The CDI rate was 14.90% p.a. as of December 31, 2025, while it was 12.15% p.a. and 11.65% p.a. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The TLP rate was 7.82% p.a., 6.66% p.a. and 5.56% p.a. as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
A significant increase in interest rates may impact our ability to secure financing in acceptable terms and an increase in interest rates, particularly TLP, CDI, the SOFR, or the inflation rate index for consumer goods (IPCA), could have a material adverse effect on our financial expenses since a significant part of our debt (BNDES loans, local debentures and Export Prepayment Facilities) is linked to those rates. On the other hand, a significant reduction in the CDI rate or in the SOFR rate could adversely impact our financial revenues derived from investment activities, since a material portion of our cash is invested in either Brazilian money market instruments that are linked to the CDI rate, or in offshore interest accounts and investments correlated to the SOFR rate.
A failure of our information technology systems or automated machinery may interrupt our business and negatively impact our operations. We are exposed to external actions such as cyber-attacks, improper access of confidential information and disruption of our systems.
Our operations are heavily reliant on information technology systems to efficiently manage business processes. Therefore, disruptions to these systems may impact or even paralyze our business and negatively impact our operations. We are in the process of updating our ERP system which may expose us to occasional disruptions or delays that could adversely impact our operations or internal controls.

We have been in the past and may be in the future subject to cybersecurity incidents. The sophistication of external threats to our systems continue to evolve and grow, including the risk associated with the use of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, smart devices and remote working solutions. Additionally, we collect and store data, including proprietary business information, and may have access to confidential or personal information in certain activities of our businesses that is subject to privacy and security laws, regulations, and customer-imposed controls. Moreover, any failure of our systems or those of our third-party suppliers related to confidential information, caused by external cyber-attacks or internal actions, including negligence and misconduct of our employees, can negatively impact our reputation among competitors and external stakeholders (government, regulators, suppliers, and others).
Our third-party suppliers’ and our information technology systems may have vulnerabilities that may be impacted through external actions such as natural disasters, viruses, cyberattacks and other security breaches. Damage to or disruptions to certain critical systems could have a materially adverse effect on our business results, including fines, customer liabilities or legal litigation. Both we and our third-party suppliers may be subject to breaches of automation systems that can cause partial and temporary shutdowns of operations and unauthorized access to strategic information, in addition to changes or loss of relevant data. The costs associated with addressing these vulnerabilities and related issues may be significant, depending on the criticality and relevance of the information affected.
We cannot fully guarantee that our measures to deter unauthorized activities in our systems or the procedures adopted by third-party suppliers will protect us from certain types of attacks, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and reputation.
Any failure to adapt to or comply with global regulations on data privacy may adversely affect our results and reputation.
We are subject to various data protection laws in the jurisdictions where we operate, such as the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD), China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), and state laws in the United States. These laws establish rules that companies must follow whenever they process personal data, whether collecting, storing, using, transferring, or sharing data internally or with third parties.
These laws impact the relationship between customers and suppliers of goods and services, employees and employers and other relationships in which personal data is collected, both in the digital and physical environment. Pursuant to these laws, security breaches that may result in significant risk or damage to personal data must be reported to the data protection authorities (DPA) of each jurisdiction, within a reasonable time period. In light of the privacy and personal data protection laws, our practices related to personal data processing may undergo significant changes, generating additional costs to us due to the need to adapt such processing to the legal requirements and the applicable DPA’s guidelines.
Failure to comply with these laws may result in administrative sanctions and litigation. As a result, failure by us to adhere to the laws enacted or approved in different jurisdictions in which we operate could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Although we have sought to adjust our business processes that include personal data processing in order to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection requirements, we cannot assure that our personal data protection program will be deemed sufficient by the data protection authorities to meet the provisions of the laws, given the lack of orientation about specific requirements, nor that our practices will prevent any failures in the protection of personal data processed by us, including with respect to cybersecurity incidents.

A downgrade in our credit ratings may increase our borrowing costs and/or restrict the availability of new capital or financings and have a material adverse effect on us.
The ratings address the likelihood, according to the respective evaluation methodology of each rating agency, of payment of our debt and obligations at their maturity. The ratings also address the timely payment of interest and other costs on each interest payment date. The assigned ratings to us may be raised, lowered or held constant depending, among other factors, on the rating agencies’ respective assessment of our financial strength or a change in methodology of credit assessment adopted by the credit risk agencies. We cannot assure you that our rating will remain for any given period of time or that the rating will not be lowered or withdrawn.
If our credit ratings are downgraded and the market were to perceive any such downgrade as a deterioration of our financial strength, our cost of borrowing would likely increase and our net income could decrease and our ability to obtain new financing may be adversely affected, all of which could have a material adverse effect on us.
In addition, credit rating is sensitive to any change in Brazilian sovereign credit ratings. The credit ratings of the Brazilian sovereign were downgraded in 2016 and 2018 and, despite upgrades in 2023 and 2024, are no longer considered investment grade according to the methodologies of the major global rating agencies. Any further decrease in Brazilian sovereign credit ratings may have additional adverse consequences on our ability to obtain financing or our cost of financing and, consequently, on our results of operations and financial condition.
Unfavorable outcomes in litigation may negatively affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In the ordinary course of our business, we and our officers are, and may become, party to numerous tax, civil (including environmental) and labor disputes involving, among other remedies, significant monetary claims. An unfavorable outcome against us may require us to pay substantial amounts of money, which could materially adversely affect our reputation, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Additionally, the amounts provisioned for legal proceedings may increase and existing provisions may become insufficient due to unfavorable outcomes in disputes against us. For more information on tax, civil (including environmental), labor and other proceedings, see “Item 8. Financial Information—Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Legal and Administrative Proceedings.”
Changes in the credit risk of customers and suppliers to whom we have made advances, sales through credit lines or loans may adversely affect us.
In the markets in which we operate, it is typical, and often a condition for competitive participation, for pulp and paper producers to make advances to suppliers or to make sales to customers on credit. When we make advances, sales on credit or loans to our suppliers or customers, we assume their credit risk. Additionally, we assume additional risks when using debt instruments to make advances and sales on credit to our customers. Therefore, changes in the macroeconomic environment or the market conditions under which our suppliers and our customers operate, in addition to problems related to the management of our suppliers and clients, may significantly affect their ability to make payments to us, directly impacting our assets and working capital.
These practices also expose us to the risk of a significant divergence between the rates under which we obtain financing from third parties and the rates that we grant to our customers and suppliers. We cannot assure you that we will always be able to match the terms under which we provide financing to our customers and suppliers with the terms of financing provided to us. Any increase in our customers’ and suppliers’ credit risk or divergence between their and our capital costs may materially adversely affect our shareholders’ equity and results of operations.

Social crisis in the relationship with communities and local organized social movements, as well as expropriation of any of our properties by the government, may affect the regular use, cause damage, or deprive us from the use of or the fair value compensation of our properties.
Organized social movements in Brazil advocate for agrarian reform and the redistribution of property, often engaging in irregular occupations in rural areas. In addition, taking advantage of the cover provided by organized social movements, other local groups also illegally occupy rural properties organizing its movement through fraud or other criminal actions. Such occupations when in our operations areas may interrupt our local forestry or industrial activities and, consequently, negatively affect our productive and operational results.
Land conflicts can also cause a series of risks to the integrity of our employees who work in the field, possible damage to areas of high environmental value such as Permanent Preservation Areas and buffer zones of Environmental Conservation Units, in addition to reputational damage.
We actively engage in negotiations with state or federal governments and social movements as an alternative approach, in addition to safeguarding our property rights within legal frameworks. The aim is to find permanent solutions for existing unauthorized occupations and prevent the occurrence of new ones.
In Brazil, with limited exceptions provided by law, only the Union, States and Municipalities have the authority to directly engage in the expropriation of land. From a legal perspective, the expropriation of rural areas arises from a failure to fulfill the social function of the property, which is a fundamental principle of property rights in Brazil. If a property owned by us is expropriated, our equity may be negatively impacted, as there is no guarantee that the compensation provided by the government will be sufficient to cover our losses. A significant risk associated with this scenario is that the financial compensation offered by the governments may prove to be inadequate, or we may be compelled to accept compensation in the form of public debt securities, which have limited liquidity.
The deterioration in labor relations with employees could adversely affect us.
We depend on intensive use of labor in our activities and our operational results depends to a significant extent on the quality of our labor and our relationship with employees.
Most of our employees are represented by unions, and their employment contracts are regulated by collective bargaining agreements. New collective bargaining agreements may have shorter terms than our previous agreements, and, if we are not able to negotiate collective bargaining agreements on acceptable terms to us, we may be subject to a significant increase in labor costs, deterioration of employee relations, slowdowns or work stoppages, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
Additionally, changes in safety and outsourcing regulations may result in an increase in our labor-related costs. We may be considered secondarily liable for any employment obligations relating to such employees or a direct employment relationship may be established by the labor courts with the outsourced employees and us, according to the current regulation in force.
The introduction of a stricter legal framework regarding the use of outsourced employees or third-party subcontractors, and/or the imposition of additional obligations on the contractor of outsourced services, may increase our labor-related costs and may adversely affect our business and operations.
In accordance with existing labor laws and regulations, we are required to provide and ensure the proper use of safety equipment for our employees and other individuals working on our worksites. If we fail to provide all necessary safety equipment and ensure the proper use of the safety equipment, or if we work with companies that are not sufficiently committed to ensuring the safety of their own employees, we may be held liable for any accidents that take place at our worksites. Any accidents at our worksites may expose us to the payment of indemnifications, fines and penalties.
20
Table of Contents
In addition, any changes to existing safety regulations may impose additional obligations on us and result in an increase in our expenses with respect to safety equipment and procedures. For instance, changes imposing a reduced workday for safety reasons may result in reduced productivity, forcing us to hire additional staff. Similarly, provisions requiring us to install or buy additional safety equipment could increase our labor-related costs and adversely affect our operating costs and results.
In general, we could experience increases in our recruitment and training costs and decreases in our operating efficiency, productivity and profit margins if we are unable to attract, hire and retain a sufficient number of skilled employees to support our operations.
Our hedging activities may expose us to losses due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates or interest rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition.
We regularly enter into currency, interest rate, commodity price and inflation hedging transactions using financial derivatives instruments, such as future contracts, options and swaps, in accordance with our policies. We have traditionally used hedging transactions to, among others, (i) protect our revenue (which is primarily denominated in U.S. dollars) when converted to reais (our functional currency), (ii) convert part of our debt which is denominated in
reais
into U.S. dollars, (iii) swap floating interest rates of our debt to fixed interest rates, (iv) swap floating monetary variation of our debt to fixed rate, and swap part of our IPCA indexed debt to CDI.
We account for our derivative instruments at fair value, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The fair value of such instruments may increase or decrease due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates or interest rates, among others, prior to their settlement date. We may incur losses due to these market risk factors. Fluctuations may also result from changes in economic conditions, investor sentiment, monetary and fiscal policies, the liquidity of global markets, international and regional political events, acts of war, terrorism, among others.
In the event that we cease to undertake hedging transactions to the extent necessary, we may be exposed to currency exchange, interest rate and inflation risks, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Delays in the expansion of our facilities, building new facilities or the ramp up of new or expanded facilities may increase our costs and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
As part of our strategy, we may decide to expand our existing production facilities or build new production facilities. The expansion or construction of a production facility involves various risks, such as engineering, construction, operational systems, integration with the existing mill on brownfield projects, regulatory and other expected or unexpected significant challenges. These risks delay or prevent the successful operation of the project or significantly increase our costs. Our ability to complete successfully any expansion or new construction project subject to risks, including:
•
we may either not be able to complete any expansion or new construction project on time or within the expected budget or be required by market conditions or other factors to delay the initiation of construction or the timetable to complete new projects or expansions, including adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, pandemics, fires, delays in supply, inputs or labor and accidents that impair or prevent the development of ongoing projects;
•
our new or modified facilities may not operate at designed capacity, ramp up its learning curve as planned or may cost more to operate than we expect;
•
we may not be able to sell our additional production at competitive prices;
•
we may not have cash, or be able to acquire financing, to implement our growth plans;
•
variations on exchange rate or product price may decrease significantly generated value by expansion project or new facilities;
•
climate changes could affect our forest base for new projects or brownfield, and significantly increase our wood cost;
21
Table of Contents
•
we may have a negative impact on existing mills that can result on operational instability;
Any of the above events could have a negative impact in our business and financial and operating results.
Our insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover our losses, especially in case of damage to our planted forests, which may cause a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition.
Our insurance coverage, including the general third party liability, may be insufficient to cover losses to our forests, mills, dams, hydroelectric plants and other operating facilities for accidents, operational risks and international and domestic transportation if we suffer any catastrophic claim or if there is a particular clause excluding the coverage. In addition, we do not maintain insurance coverage against wars, unforeseeable fortuitous events, force majeure, interruption of certain activities, including due to pandemics, as well as fire, thefts, pests, diseases, droughts and other risks to our forests. The occurrence of losses or other liabilities that are not covered by insurance, due to the limited extent of the insurance coverage, losses that exceed the limits of our insurance coverage or any other reason that prevents reimbursement or indemnification, could result in significant and unexpected additional costs, our ability to operate and/or shortage of wood supply, which may affect our production. Moreover, the terms and conditions for the renewal of our insurance policies may change in the future depending upon market circumstances and the type and amount of risks insured. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Insurance.”
Risks Relating to Brazil
The Brazilian government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy. This influence, as well as Brazilian political and economic conditions, may materially and adversely affect us, our activities and the trading prices of our shares.
We conduct a substantial part of our operations in Brazil, and we sell part of our products to customers in the Brazilian market. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are substantially dependent on economic conditions in Brazil. Future developments in the Brazilian economy may affect Brazil’s growth rates and, consequently, the consumption of our products. As a result, these developments could impair our business strategies, results of operations or financial condition.
The Brazilian economy has been characterized by frequent, and occasionally drastic, interventions by the Brazilian federal government, which have often changed monetary, credit and other policies to influence Brazil’s economy. The Brazilian federal government’s actions to control inflation and other policies have often involved wage and price controls, depreciation of the
real
, changes in tax policies, controls on remittances abroad, fluctuations of the Central Bank of Brazil’s base interest rate, as well as other measures. We have no control over, nor can we foresee, any measures or policies that the Brazilian federal government may adopt in the future. We may be materially adversely affected by changes in the policies of the Brazilian federal government, in addition to other general economic factors, including, without limitation:
•
political, economic and social instability;
•
monetary policies;
•
political elections;
•
inflation;
•
exchange rate fluctuations;
•
exchange controls and restrictions on remittances abroad;
•
tax policy and amendments to the tax legislation;
•
interest rates;
•
liquidity of domestic and foreign capital and lending markets;
•
government control of the production of our products;
22
Table of Contents
•
restrictive environmental and
real
estate laws and regulations; and
•
other political, social and economic policies or developments in or affecting Brazil.
Uncertainty as to whether the Brazilian federal government will implement changes in policy or regulations affecting these or other factors in the future may contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities markets and the securities issued by Brazilian companies, including us. Accordingly, such uncertainties and other future developments in the Brazilian economy may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation, negatively impacting our available cash flows for payment, and the trading price of our common shares.
Significant fluctuations in the exchange rate of the real against the value of the U.S. dollar may adversely affect our business, financial conditions or results of operations.
Our export revenues are directly affected by exchange rate variation. Depreciation of the
real
against the U.S. dollar will increase such revenues when denominated in
reai
s, while appreciation of the
real
against the U.S. dollar will decrease such export revenues. Our revenues in the domestic market are also affected by exchange rate fluctuation, to the extent that imported products quoted in U.S. dollars become more or less competitive in the domestic market depending on the exchange rate variation.
Furthermore, some of our costs and operating expenses are also affected by fluctuations in the value of the
real
against the U.S. dollar, including export insurance, freight costs and the cost of certain chemicals we use as raw materials. Depreciation of the
real
against the U.S. dollar will increase such costs, while appreciation of the
real
against the U.S. dollar will reduce these costs.
Additionally, we may be adversely affected by depreciation of the
real
against the U.S. dollar, since a significant portion of our debt is expressed in U.S. dollars. Depreciation or appreciation of the
real
against the U.S. dollar may increase or decrease, as applicable, our financial expenses arising from these debt and other obligations in U.S. dollars, as well as adversely affect our ability to comply with certain covenants under financing agreements. On the other hand, a significant appreciation of the
real
against the U.S. dollar or an appreciation during an extended period of time may significantly affect our cost structure and negatively affect our competitiveness in export markets.
As a result of inflationary pressures in past years, the Brazilian
real
had periodically devalued in relation to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies. During 2025, however, global geopolitical instability, new trade tariff policies in several countries, and the increase of interest rates in Brazil, which contributed to a higher carry level, resulted in an appreciation of the Brazilian real in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Brazilian federal government has in the past implemented various economic plans and utilized a number of exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini-devaluations during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly, floating exchange rate systems, exchange controls and dual exchange rate markets. From time to time, there have been significant fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Brazilian
real
, the U.S. dollar and other currencies. There can be no assurance that the
real
will not depreciate or be devalued again against the U.S. dollar or against any other foreign currency.
Devaluations of the
real
relative to the U.S. dollar could create additional inflationary pressures in Brazil, lead to increases in interest rates, further limit our access to foreign financial markets and prompt the adoption of recessionary policies by the Brazilian federal government. Conversely, the appreciation of the
real
against the U.S. dollar may lead to a further deterioration of Brazil’s current account and balance of payments and cause a decrease in Brazilian exports. Any of the foregoing developments may negatively affect the Brazilian economy as a whole, and, consequently, our results. In recent years, the Central Bank of Brazil has occasionally intervened to control unstable movements in the foreign exchange rate. We cannot predict whether the Central Bank of Brazil will continue to let the
real
float freely. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict what impact the Brazilian Central Bank exchange rate policies may have on us. We cannot assure that in the future the Brazilian federal government will not impose a currency band within which the
real
U.S. dollar-
real
exchange rate could fluctuate or set fixed exchange rates, nor can we predict what impact such an event might have on our business, financial position or operating results.

Economic and market conditions in other countries, including in the United States and emerging market countries, may materially and adversely affect the Brazilian economy and, therefore, our financial condition.
The market for securities issued by Brazilian companies is influenced by economic and market conditions in Brazil, and, to varying degrees, market conditions in other countries, whether emerging market countries or not. Although economic conditions are different in each country, the reaction of investors to developments in one country may cause the domestic or international capital markets prices to fluctuate. Developments or conditions in other countries, including non-recurrent events such as US-China trade war, acts of war and related sanctions and other events have at times significantly affected the availability of credit in the Brazilian economy and resulted in considerable outflows of funds and reductions in the amount of foreign currency invested in Brazil, as well as limited access to international capital markets, all of which may materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow funds at an acceptable interest rate or to raise equity capital when and if we should have such a need.
Additionally, we depend on third-party financing to carry out our activities, especially to finance our capital expenditures and working capital. In circumstances of limited liquidity, credit availability may be scarce, expensive or nonexistent, and we may face difficulties in our regular activities and in honoring our financial commitments.
Risks Relating to Our Shares and ADSs
Exchange controls and restrictions on remittances abroad may adversely affect holders of ADSs.
Brazilian laws provide that whenever a serious imbalance in Brazil’s balance of payments exists or is anticipated, the Brazilian federal government may impose temporary restrictions on the repatriation by foreign investors of the proceeds of their investment in Brazil and on the conversion of Brazilian currency into foreign currency. You may be adversely affected if the Brazilian federal government imposes restrictions on the remittance to foreign investors of the proceeds of their investments in Brazil and, as it has done in the past, on the conversion of the
real
into foreign currencies. These restrictions could hinder or prevent the conversion of dividends, distributions or the proceeds from any sale of shares, as the case may be, into U.S. dollars and the remittance of U.S. dollars abroad. We cannot assure that the government will not take this measure or similar measures in the future. Holders of ADSs could be adversely affected by delays in, or a refusal to grant, any required governmental approval for conversion of
real
payments and remittances abroad in respect of the shares, including the shares underlying the ADSs. In such a case, the ADS depositary will distribute reais or hold the reais it cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid.
Holders of ADSs may face difficulties in serving process on or enforcing judgments against us and other persons, as well as may face difficulties in protecting their interests because we are subject to different corporate rules and regulations than a U.S. company.
We are organized under and are subject to the laws of Brazil and all our directors and executive officers and our independent registered public accounting firm reside or are based in Brazil. Substantially all of our assets and those of these other persons are located in Brazil. Moreover, our corporate affairs are governed by our bylaws and Brazilian Corporate Law, which differ from the legal principles that would apply if we were incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States or elsewhere outside Brazil. In addition, the rights of an ADS holder, which are derivative of the rights of holders of our common shares, to protect their interests are different under Brazilian Corporate Law than under the laws of other jurisdictions. Rules against insider trading and self-dealing and the preservation of shareholder interests may also be different in Brazil than in the United States. The structure of a class action in Brazil is different from that in the US, and under Brazilian law, shareholders in Brazilian companies do not have standing to bring a class action, and under our by-laws must, generally with respect to disputes concerning rules regarding the operation of the capital markets, arbitrate any such disputes.
As a result, it may not be possible for holders of the ADSs to effect service of process upon us or these other persons within the United States or other jurisdictions outside Brazil or to enforce against us or these other persons judgments obtained in the United States or other jurisdictions outside Brazil. Because judgments of U.S. courts for civil liabilities based upon the U.S. federal securities laws may only be enforced in Brazil if certain conditions are met, the ADS holders may face greater difficulties in protecting their interests due to actions by us, our directors or executive officers than would shareholders of a U.S. corporation.

The relative volatility and lack of liquidity of the markets for our securities may adversely affect holders of our shares and the ADSs.
Investments in securities, such as our common shares or ADSs, of issuers from emerging market countries, including Brazil, involve a higher degree of risk than investments in securities of issuers from more developed countries. The Brazilian securities market is substantially smaller, less liquid, more concentrated and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States and other jurisdictions, and may be regulated differently from the ways familiar to U.S. investors. There is also significantly greater concentration in the Brazilian securities market than in major securities markets in the United States. These features may substantially limit the ability to sell our shares, including our shares underlying the ADSs, at a price and time at which holders wish to do so and, as a result, could negatively impact the market price of these securities.
In addition, although our public float represented 49.6% (excluding Treasury Shares) of our total capital float as of December 31, 2025, only 4.9% were represented by ADSs. Our controlling shareholders (including related parties and management) hold 50.4% of our stock. Any potential sale by these shareholders could adversely affect the market price of our securities.
Holders of ADSs may find it difficult to exercise voting rights at our shareholders’ meetings.
Holders of ADSs do not have the same voting rights as holders of our shares. Holders of ADSs will not be our direct shareholders and will be unable to enforce directly the rights of shareholders under our bylaws and Brazilian Corporate Law, they are entitled to the contractual rights set forth for their benefit under the deposit agreement. Holders of ADSs will face practical limitations in exercising their voting rights because of the additional steps involved in our communications with ADS holders. For example, we are required to publish a notice of our shareholders’ meetings in specified newspapers in Brazil. Holders of our shares will be able to exercise their voting rights by attending a shareholders’ meeting in person or voting by proxy. By contrast, ADS holders will receive notice of a shareholders’ meeting by mail from The Bank of New York Mellon, as our depositary, following our notice to the depositary requesting the depository to do so. To exercise their voting rights, ADSs holders have to provide instructions to the depositary on a timely basis on how they wish to vote. In practice, the ability of a holder of ADSs to instruct the depositary as to voting will depend on the timing and procedures for providing instructions to the depositary, either directly or through the holder’s custodian and clearing system and this voting process necessarily will take longer for holders of ADSs than for holders of our shares.
Holders of ADSs also may not receive the voting materials in time to instruct the depositary to vote the shares underlying their ADSs. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions of the holders of ADSs or for the manner of carrying out those voting instructions. Accordingly, holders of ADSs may not be able to exercise voting rights, and they will have little, if any, recourse if the units underlying their ADSs are not voted as requested.
If holders of ADSs exchange their ADSs for underlying shares, they risk losing the ability to timely remit foreign currency abroad and other related advantages.
The ADSs benefit from foreign capital registration, which permits our depositary to convert dividends and other distributions with respect to common shares into foreign currency, and to remit the proceeds abroad. The conversion of ADSs directly into ownership of the underlying shares is governed by Joint Resolution between the Brazilian Central Bank of Brazil and the CVM No. 13/2024, and foreign investors who intend to proceed with such conversion are required to appoint a representative in Brazil who will be in charge of keeping and updating the foreign investors registrations with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to the procedure provided for CVM Resolution No. 13, of November 2020, which entitles registered foreign investors to buy and sell directly on B3. These arrangements may require additional expenses from the foreign investor. Moreover, if representatives fail to obtain or update the relevant registration, investors may incur additional expenses or be subject to operational delays, which could affect their ability to receive dividends or distributions relating to the shares or the return of their capital promptly.

Table of Contents
Holders of ADSs may be subject to less favorable tax treatment
If holders of ADSs do not qualify as eligible non-resident investors under Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 they will generally be subject to less favorable tax treatment on distributions with respect to our common shares. There can be no assurance that the foreign investment registration of our depositary, or any certificate of foreign capital registration obtained by holders of ADSs, will not be affected by future legislative or regulatory changes, or that additional Brazilian law restrictions applicable to their investment in the ADSs may not be imposed in the future.Holders of our shares will be subject to, and holders of the ADSs could be subject to, Brazilian income tax on capital gains from sales of shares or ADSs. Federal Law No. 10,833/03 provides that gains on the disposition of assets located in Brazil by non-residents, whether to other non-residents or to Brazilian residents, will be subject to Brazilian taxation. Our shares are expected to be treated as assets located in Brazil for purposes of the law, and gains on the disposition of our shares, even by non-residents, are expected to be subject to Brazilian taxation. In addition, the ADSs may be treated as assets located in Brazil for purposes of the law, and therefore gains on the disposition of the ADSs by non-residents of Brazil may be subject to Brazilian taxation. Although the holders of ADSs outside Brazil may have grounds to assert that Federal Law No. 10,833/03 does not apply to sales or other dispositions of ADSs, it is not possible to predict whether that understanding will ultimately prevail in the courts of Brazil given the general and unclear scope of Federal Law No. 10,833/03 and the absence of judicial court rulings in respect thereof.
Holders of ADSs may be unable to exercise the preemptive rights relating to our shares underlying the ADSs.
Holders of ADSs may not be able to exercise the preemptive rights relating to our shares underlying their ADSs unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to the rights or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. We are not required to file a registration statement with respect to the shares or other securities relating to these preemptive rights, and we cannot assure holders of ADSs that we will file any such registration statement. Unless we file a registration statement or an exemption from registration applies, holders of ADSs may receive only the net proceeds from the sale of their preemptive rights by the depositary or, if the preemptive rights cannot be sold, the rights will be allowed to lapse.
We may issue new shares, including in the form of ADSs, which may result in a dilution of our current shareholders’ stake.
We may seek to raise additional capital in the future through public or private issuances of shares or securities convertible into shares. According to article 172 of Brazilian Corporation Law, we may not be required to grant preemptive rights to our shareholders in the event of a capital increase through a public offering of shares or securities convertible into shares, which may result in a dilution of our current shareholders’ stake in our company.
The holders of our shares (including our shares underlying the ADSs) may not receive dividends or interest on net equity.
According to our bylaws, our shareholders are entitled to receive a mandatory minimum annual dividend of the lower of (i) 25% of our annual net profit, calculated and adjusted under the terms of the Brazilian Corporation Law, or (ii) 10% of our operating cash generation in the corresponding fiscal period, which is calculated by subtracting the amount of the investments in maintenance of the respective fiscal year from the Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our bylaws. Our bylaws allow for the payment of interim dividends, to the retained earnings account or the existing earnings reserves in the last yearly or six-month balance, by means of the annual dividend. We may also pay interest on net equity, as described by Brazilian law. The interim dividends and the interest on net equity declared in each fiscal year may be imputed as the mandatory dividend that results from the fiscal year in which they are distributed. At the general shareholders meeting, shareholders may decide on the capitalization, on the offset of our losses or on the net income retention, as provided for in the Brazilian Corporation Law, with the aforementioned net income not being made available for the payment of dividends or interest on own capital. Additionally, Brazilian Corporate Law allows a publicly traded company, like ours, to suspend the mandatory distribution of dividends and interest on net equity in any particular year if our board of directors informs our shareholders that such distribution would be inadvisable in view of our financial condition or cash availability.

Our management is strongly influenced by our controlling shareholders and their interests may conflict with the interests of our other shareholders.
Our controlling shareholders have the power to, among other things, appoint a majority of the members of our board of directors and to decide any matters requiring shareholder approval, including related-party transactions, corporate reorganizations and disposals, and the timing and payment of any future dividends, subject to the requirements of mandatory dividends under the Brazilian Corporation Law.
Our controlling shareholders may have an interest in making acquisitions, disposals of assets, partnerships, seeking financing or making other decisions that may conflict with the interests of the other shareholders.
Additionally, any of our controlling shareholders may opt to sell significant part or the totality of their respective equity to third parties. In case we cease to have controlling shareholders, the remaining shareholders may no longer have the right to the same protection granted by the Brazilian Corporation Law against the abuses practiced by other shareholders and, as consequence, they may face difficulty in the compensation for damages suffered.
Any unexpected change in our management, in our business strategy and policies, tentative of control acquisition or any dispute among shareholders regarding their rights, may adversely affect our business and operational results.
Judgments of Brazilian courts with respect to our shares and the ADSs will be payable only in reais.
Our bylaws provide that we, our shareholders, our directors and officers and the members of our fiscal council shall submit to arbitration any and all disputes or controversies that may arise amongst ourselves relating to, or originating from, the application, validity, effectiveness, interpretation, violations and effects of violations of the provisions of Brazilian Corporate Law, our bylaws, the rules and regulations of the CMN, the Brazilian Central Bank and the CVM, as well as other rules and regulations applicable to the Brazilian capital markets and the rules and regulations of the Arbitration Regulation of the Market Arbitration Chamber.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
A. History and Development of the Company
We, Suzano S.A., were incorporated as a corporation on December 8, 1987 under the laws of Brazil. We have the legal status of a
sociedade por ações
, or a stock corporation, under the Brazilian Corporation Law. Our principal place of business is located at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 1355, 7th floor, São Paulo, SP, 01452-919, Brazil (telephone: +55 11 3503-9000). Our shares are traded on the special listing segment of the B3, which provides for the highest level of corporate governance in the Brazilian market, and our ADSs are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
Our activities began in 1924, when Leon Feffer, our founder, first entered the paper business to resell national and imported paper used for business cards, writing pads and stationery. In the late 1930s, with the purchase of its first machine, the Suzano Group began to produce its own paper. In the 1950s, Companhia Suzano de Papel e Celulose (“Companhia Suzano”) was formed, becoming what we believe to be the first global industrial-scale producer of eucalyptus pulp. In the mid-1960s, Companhia Suzano became the first paper producer to use 100% eucalyptus pulp in the production of printing and writing paper, according to “The History of the Pulp and Paper Industry in Brazil” (“
A História da Indústria de Celulose e Papel no Brasil
”), published by the Brazilian Technical Association of Paper and Pulp (
Associação Brasileira Técnica de Papel e Celulose
), or the ABTCP, in 2004. Today, we believe we are the world’s largest producer of market pulp, with an aggregate installed capacity of 13.4 million metric tons of eucalyptus pulp per year and a broad and diversified forest base.
In 1987 Companhia Suzano incorporated Bahia Sul S.A. (“Bahia Sul”), a joint venture between Companhia Suzano and Vale S.A. In 1992, we were granted registration as a publicly traded company by CVM. In early 2001, Companhia Suzano acquired all shares of Bahia Sul previously held by Vale, becoming the holder of 100% of the voting capital of Bahia Sul and 73% of its total share capital. At the same year, the management of Bahia Sul was unified with Companhia Suzano’s management, aiming to obtain synergies to implement a solid growth strategy in the paper and pulp sector.
In 2002, Companhia Suzano and Bahia Sul carried out a reorganization, which resulted in an increase in Companhia Suzano's equity in the total share capital of Bahia Sul to 93.9%. In June 2004, as part of the corporate restructuring process, it was approved the merger of Companhia Suzano on Bahia Sul.
In 2004, we joined Level 1 Corporate Governance of B3 to enhance transparency and accountability to shareholders. And in 2006, our name was changed to Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.
In 2015, we started the production of fluff pulp and announced investments in the tissue segment.
In 2018, we started trading our Level II ADRs, in accordance with the program approved by the CVM. The Bank of New York Mellon is acting as our depositary bank in the United States, responsible for issuing the respective depositary shares, at the ratio of one ADS for one common share. We are subject to reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and are required to file with the SEC, or furnish to the SEC, reports and other information.
In 2019, we acquired Fibria Celulose S.A. (“Fibria”) and became the world’s largest producer of market pulp, with an aggregate installed capacity of 10.9 million metric tons of eucalyptus pulp per year and a broad and diversified forest base.
In 2022, we, along with Itaú Unibanco, Marfrig, Rabobank, Santander and Vale announced the creation of "Biomas", a new company focused entirely on the restoration, conservation and preservation of forests in Brazil. Our mission is to restore and protect, over the next 20 years, four million hectares of native forest in some of Brazil's most valuable ecosystems, including the Amazon, Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes.

In 2023, we completed the purchase of Kimberly-Clark's Tissue business in Brazil and became the Brazilian market leader in the toilet paper segment with 24% of the toilet paper market in terms of transaction value. The acquisition involved a factory located in Mogi das Cruzes (SP), which contractually provides for an installed capacity of approximately 130 thousand tons per year for manufacturing, marketing, distribution and/or sale of tissue products in the country, including ownership of the brand.” NEVE”, bringing to us a complementarity of brands, product categories and geography.
In 2024, we celebrated our first centenary and advanced our strategic growth and sustainability agenda. In July 2024, we concluded the construction of our new pulp production mill located in Ribas do Rio Pardo, State of Mato Grosso do Sul (Cerrado Project), with a nominal annual production capacity of 2.55 million tons of eucalyptus pulp. In August 2024, we acquired a 15% minority stake in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft and entered into a shareholders’ agreement providing for board representation and the right to acquire an additional 15% stake through a mandatory public takeover offer process, subject to the Austrian Takeover Act. In October 2024, we acquired integrated coated and uncoated paperboard manufacturing assets used for the production of Liquid Packaging Board and Cupstock located in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and Waynesville, North Carolina, United States, previously owned by Pactiv Evergreen Inc.
In June 2025, we entered into an agreement with Kimberly-Clark Corporation (“K-C”) for the acquisition of a 51% equity interest in a new company incorporated in the Netherlands (the “NewCo”), which will hold the business related to Consumer Goods. For additional details, please see: “Item 4. Information on the Company - B. Business Overview - Our Company”.
In August 2025, we entered into a standing wood swap transaction with Eldorado involving the transfer of mature and immature biological assets, with a total payment by Suzano of R$1.317 billion, of which R$878 million were paid in 2025 and R$439 million will be made in 2026. In November 2025, we inaugurated a tissue production facility in Aracruz, in the State of Espírito Santo, with annual installed capacity of approximately 60 thousand tonnes. In December 2025, we initiated operations of a new fluff pulp production line in Limeira, State of São Paulo, following the conversion of an existing production line into a flexible machine capable of producing our proprietary eucalyptus Fluff pulp, Eucafluff and paper grade.
B. Business Overview
Industry
Pulp can be either recycled or virgin pulp. Recycled pulp is made from used materials, such as printing and writing papers, newsprint, packaging and other types of carton board, and then processed by chemicals in order to remove printing inks and other elements. Virgin pulp can be manufactured from a number of raw materials, such as wood, bagasse and bamboo, and it is classified based on the type of wood or fiber derived from the corresponding raw material as well as the processing system used and whether the pulp will be bleached. Bleached pulp is used for several purposes, including printing and writing, specialty, packaging paperboard and tissue papers. Unbleached pulp has a brown color and is used in the production of packages, corrugated board, paperboard, packaging papers, bags and tissue.
The most common raw material that we use to produce paper is wood pulp. Different tree species yield different fiber characteristics and, consequently, different paper attributes such as strength, softness and opacity.
30
Table of Contents
There are two types of wood pulp: hardwood pulp and softwood pulp. Hardwood pulp is produced using hardwood trees, such as eucalyptus, aspen, birch, acacia, maple, oaks, beech trees and poplars, which have shorter fibers. Short fiber is generally best suited for the manufacture of products that require smoothness, brightness, uniformity and absorption properties, such as coated and uncoated printing and writing paper, tissue paper, specialty papers as image paper and décor laminate paper as well as packaging paperboard. Softwood pulp is produced using softwood trees (e.g. pine, spruce and fir) and is generally best suited for the manufacture of products that require greater durability and strength, such as kraftliner, newsprint, catalogues, boards, lightweight coated paper and tissue. However, paper producers may also substitute fibers used in the paper manufacturing process according to market availability by applying further processing, as refining mechanical treatment. The substitution depends on the raw materials and equipment available and the specifications of the final product. Pulp can be produced by integrated paper producers or by market pulp producers who sell the pulp to non-integrated or semi-integrated paper producers. In 2024, approximately 40% of global pulp virgin fiber consumption was “market pulp” (Hawkins Wright – The Outlook for Market Pulp (August 2025)); that is, pulp sold by pulp mills and bought by paper mills. We produce pulp for our own paper production (integrated pulp) and to sell to other papermakers (market pulp). We produce only hardwood pulp from our renewable forests of planted eucalyptus trees. Eucalyptus pulp is widely accepted among producers of printing and writing paper, specialty papers and tissue papers worldwide because of its properties and cash production cost, and it has represented an increasing percentage of the world production of hardwood pulp. Eucalyptus trees in Brazil have a shorter growth cycle than other hardwood trees (approximately seven years in Brazil) and higher yield per planted hectare.
Brazil’s competitive advantage is driven by the fact that Brazil has the fastest tree growth rates in the world and the highest productivity rate. Thus, we believe that we are among Brazilian pulp producers that have the lowest production cost in the global market.
The key drivers of global virgin pulp demand growth are packaging, tissue and special paper. According to Hawkins Wright these grades presented an average annual growth rate (AAGR) from 2014 to 2024 of 1.5%, 2.8% and 1.1%, respectively.
Paper consumption in China has been the main driver of demand growth over the past years. According to PPPC, global demand for pulp (including softwood pulp and hardwood pulp) and for tissue is expected to continue increasing in the following years.

Our Company
With 100 years of experience, we operate mainly in the pulp (paper grade and fluff) and paper (paperboard, printing and writing and tissue) segments. We believe that we are one of the largest vertically integrated producers of pulp and paper in Latin America and, according to Hawkins Wright, we were the largest producer of eucalypt pulp in the world and virgin market pulp in the world in 2025. As other Brazilian eucalyptus pulp producers, we have one of the lowest cost of pulp production in the world. We believe our modern technology of plantation and harvesting and our strategic location for plantation facilities are among our competitive strengths.
We believe we are one of Brazil’s largest paper producers, and based on data from IBÁ, we accounted for nearly 43% of the printing and writing paper and 25% of the paperboard produced in Brazil in 2025.
Our structure includes administrative offices in Salvador and São Paulo, two integrated pulp and paper production facilities in the state of São Paulo (Suzano and Limeira units), a non-integrated paper production facility in the state of São Paulo (Rio Verde unit), an integrated pulp, paper and tissue facility in the state of Bahia (Mucuri unit), an integrated pulp and tissue facility in the state of Maranhão (Imperatriz unit), two paper facilities in the states of Pará and Ceará (Facepa), and FuturaGene, a biotechnology research and development unit. We also own pulp production facilities in the state of Espírito Santo (Aracruz unit), in the state of São Paulo state (Jacareí Unit), two units in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (Três Lagoas unit and Ribas do Rio Pardo unit) and 50% equity participation in Veracel together with Stora Enso, an industrial unit located in Eunápolis (in the state of Bahia).
After we completed the acquisition of Kimberly-Clark's Tissue business, our structure also includes a tissue facility in the state of São Paulo (Mogi das Cruzes unit).
In October 2024, we completed the acquisition of an integrated paper production mill in Pine Bluff and an extrusion and conversion facility in Waynesville, in the US. Both assets were previously owned by Pactic Evergreen.
We own one of the largest distribution structures for paper and graphic products in South America and have subsidiaries in the United States, China, Austria, Ecuador and Argentina.
Our eucalyptus pulp production satisfies almost 100% of our requirements for paper production, and we sell the remaining production as market pulp. As of December 31, 2025 our total eucalyptus pulp installed capacity was 14.5 million tons per year. The scale of our production capacity, the proximity of our planted forests to our mills and the integration of our pulp and paper production process allow us to benefit from substantial economies of scale and low production costs.
Our Limeira, Suzano, Rio Verde and Jacareí mills are located near the city of São Paulo, the largest consumer market in Brazil according to data from IBÁ and RISI. These mills are located approximately 150 km from the port of Santos, an important export hub. They can supply both domestic and international markets in a competitive manner.
33
Table of Contents
Our Mucuri and Aracruz units are focused primarily on export markets. Mucuri is located approximately 250 km from Portocel, a port specialized in exporting pulp located in the state of Espírito Santo, in which Suzano holds a 51% stake, while Aracruz is located only three km from Portocel.
The Imperatriz unit, in Maranhão, is also focused primarily on export markets. Its gateway for the external market is the Port of Itaqui, 600 km far from Imperatriz. Exports are carried from our mill to the ports by train, which allows for very competitive transportation costs.
The Três Lagoas and Ribas do Rio Pardo unit, in Mato Grosso do Sul, are both focused on export markets, and most of its volume is transported by train to the Port of Santos, where all exporting volumes are shipped. The relatively short distances between our planted forests, our mills and most of our Brazilian customers or export facilities provide us with relatively low transportation costs.
In June 2025, we entered into an agreement with K-C for the acquisition of a 51% equity interest in the NewCo, which will hold the business related to the manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and/or sale of tissue products, such as toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, facial tissues, and other paper-based products (including the “family care” and “professional business” lines) in South America, Central America, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, including Southeast Asia and Oceania (“Included Regions”). K-C will own the other 49% equity interest of the NewCo and retain its “family care” and “professional business” assets in North America and certain joint ventures held by K-C with third parties in other locations that are outside the scope of the transaction. We expect that the closing of the transaction will occur in mid-2026, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the completion of K-C’s reorganization of the business in the Included Regions. The transfer date of certain assets may vary depending on specific requirements and conditions applicable to each jurisdiction.
The main assets included in the transaction comprise 22 tissue manufacturing facilities located across 14 countries, with a total annual production capacity of approximately 1.0 million tons and commercial operations in more than 70 countries. As part of the transaction, the regional brands currently used by K-C in the Included Regions will be transferred to the Joint Venture and certain global brands currently used by K-C will be licensed to the Joint Venture for use in the Included Regions on a royalty-free, long-term basis. The transaction also includes a call option for us to acquire K-C’s 49% interest in the Joint Venture, exercisable from and after the third anniversary of the closing date, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In certain circumstances, as an exception, we may exercise the call option earlier than the third anniversary.
Pulp and Paper
We manufacture a diverse range of eucalyptus pulp and paper products, including pulp utilized in our paper production processes and market pulp. Our sales encompass both domestic market and international. Our product portfolio includes coated and uncoated printing and writing paper, paperboard, tissue paper, market pulp, and fluff pulp. Specifically within the printing and writing paper category, we offer various sizes and shapes, including cut paper for general purposes (cut-size), folio size, and reels. Our sales are not concentrated in any specific customer, in either the Brazilian or the export markets. As of December 31, 2025, one of our customers was responsible for 11.1% of the net sales of pulp segment and one customer responsible for 12.5% of net sales of the paper operating segment. No customer was responsible for more than 10.0% of the net sales of pulp and paper segment on December 31, 2024.
Pulp and Paper Production Process
Our production process usually comprises the three main stages: (i) planting and harvesting forests; (ii) pulp manufacturing; and (iii) paper manufacturing. Consistent with our strategy of conducting our business in accordance with the highest environmental standards, we use plantation and harvesting techniques that are environmentally friendly and sustainable, such as minimum-impact cultivation and soil preparation techniques that avoid erosion, maintain soil fertility along generations and promote high levels of efficiency and productivity.
34
Table of Contents
Planting and Harvesting Forests
The development of our planted forests starts in our nurseries, where we use the most modern cloning technology available, and in third-party nurseries that use our genetic materials. The saplings we produce in our nurseries are a variety of eucalyptus that increases the production of pulp and are well suited for the climate and other geographic aspects of the micro-regions in which they will be planted. A harvester is used to cut, de-limb and de-bark the trees, and to cut them into logs. Part of the bark and leaves of the harvested trees is left in the planted forests. A forwarder carries the logs to the edge of the planting area, where a loader loads the logs onto a truck for transportation to the mill.
The management of our forests is the base that sustains our business, based on the planting and management of renewable forests, targeting of a competitive supply of wood through long-term planning and development and application of genetic improvements. As of December 31, 2025, we owned or leased approximately 3.2 million hectares of land, of which approximately 1.7 million hectares were used for eucalyptus cultivation and 1.2 million for forestry reserves, ensuring compliance with Brazilian law that determines the percentage of area required for legal and permanent preservation reserves, located mainly along the rivers. Remaining 0.2 million hectares are related to other uses such as roads. Our production units are in compliance with or exceed environmental standards – both Brazilian and international – for the production of pulp and paper.
Given the high degree of integration between the production of pulp and paper, we have a low conversion cost of pulp to paper.
Several factors account for our competitive advantage with regard to the cost of wood for the production of pulp: favorable topographic, climate and soil conditions in the regions of Brazil where we operate; advanced genetic improvement and harvesting technology; low average distances between our planted forests and mills, which are among the shortest in the world; our clone selection system, which improves our forests’ yield and industrial performance, integrating our forestry and industrial activities; and our advanced techniques to maximize soil potential, such as mosaic plantation and minimum environmental impact cultivation techniques. Together, these factors enable us to enjoy: a high and increasing average volume of wood per planted hectare; a higher concentration of fibers per ton of harvested wood; the sustainable development of our operations; relatively low operating costs; and eucalyptus tree harvest rotations of approximately seven years, a period shorter than the harvest rotation periods in other regions of the world.
Pulp Manufacturing
The pulp manufacturing process takes place in two stages:
The “Kraft” Cooking Process.
The logs received in our pulp mills are first de-barked, if not already de-barked in the field, and chipped in small pieces. The wood chips are screened by size and then transferred with conveyors to the impregnation stage followed by a pressurization and feeding system to the digester where they are “cooked” with sodium sulfide and caustic soda. This “kraft” cooking process is known for minimizing damage to the pulp fibers and allows the recovery of chemicals, thereby preserving high uniformity and strength of the fibers for subsequent paper production or other uses. During the cooking process, the cellulose fibers are separated from lignin and other extractive to produce unbleached pulp fibers. The unbleached pulp is then screened, washed and submitted to a pre-bleaching stage where oxygen delignification takes place. The combination of Kraft cooking and pre-bleaching removes approximately 95% of the lignin. At this stage, the pulp can already be used for specific paperboard applications, such as in one of the paper machines at the Suzano mill. As part of our broader product portfolio, unbleached pulp grades are supplied for a variety of applications, including specialty packaging papers and paperboard. The lignin and other by-products of the Kraft process form a substance known as “black liquor”, which is separated and pumped to evaporators to increase its solids concentration. Thereafter, the concentrated black liquor is burned in recovery boilers, where it serves as the primary fuel for generating steam and electricity to power the entire production process. Also, approximately 99.0% of the chemicals used in the kraft cooking process are recovered and reused within a closed-loop chemical recovery system, with only minimal makeup chemicals needed to compensate for losses.
35
Table of Contents
Bleaching.
To produce bleached pulp, the unbleached pulp is submitted to a chemical bleaching process. The bleaching process promotes further selective delignification and increases brightness of the fibers. This process consists of a series of medium-consistency bleaching stages in towers. In each bleaching tower a different mixture of bleaching agents is applied and after each stage, the pulp is washed. Three to five bleaching stages are required to obtain a fully bleached pulp. Our modern and low environmental impact bleaching processes are either elemental chlorine free (ECF) or total chlorine free (TCF). The bleaching process is designed to be harmless and may incorporate chlorine dioxide, sulfuric acid, caustic soda and hydrogen peroxide, without the use of elemental chlorine. At the end of the bleaching stages, the diluted bleached pulp, in its fluid state, is pumped to storage towers. Thereafter, the bleached pulp may be transferred directly to integrated operations in our own paper production or tissue paper facilities. We produce paper in the Mucuri, Suzano and Limeira mills and also supply slushed pulp to integrated paper producing customers in Jacareí (Ahlstrom) and Três Lagoas (Sylvamo Corporation). Our tissue paper production takes place in Aracruz, Mucuri, Imperatriz, Belém and Mogi das Cruzes mills. The majority of bleached pulp is, however, sold as raw material after being dried in high-capacity drying machines and converted into bales. In the Suzano and Limeira mills, we are also producing dried pulp in jumbo rolls for fluff applications.
Paper and Tissue Paper Manufacturing
We produce (i) uncoated woodfree printing and writing paper at our Mucuri unit, Limeira unit, Suzano unit and Rio Verde unit; (ii) coated woodfree printing and writing paper at our Suzano unit and Limeira unit; (iii) paperboard at our Suzano unit and at our recently acquired Pine Bluff unit, in the US, and (iv) tissue papers at Mucuri, Maracanau, Cachoeiro do Itapemirim, Imperatriz, Mogi das Cruzes and Belém. We start the paper production process by sending the pulp to refiners, which increases the fibers’ resistance. The pulp slurry is then fed into the paper mill, where it is mixed with fillers and additives to provide the necessary properties required by paper grade and the end users. These additives include synthetic sizing, precipitated calcium carbonate, optical dyes, and others. During the paper and paperboard production, the sheet is formed, pressed and dried in a continuous process. At the end of the process, jumbo rolls are obtained and then converted into reels, folio sheets or cut-size paper. In the case of coated paper, the paper receives additional surface treatments with coating and additional drying before converting to reels or sized papers. Tissue papers are produced in dedicated tissue machines. Different from other paper machines, the tissue ones seek for other characteristics like softness, bulk and absorption. Tissue paper production requires very little additives and mechanical preparation of the fibers (refining) in special parameters, normally low intensity. Tissue papers are produced in dedicated tissue machines, different from other paper machines and seek for other characteristics like softness, volume and absorbance. Tissue paper production requires very little additives and mechanical preparation of the fibers (refining). The produced tissue paper mother rolls can be converted on site, converted in dedicated conversion units or sold.
Computerized systems control or monitor all process stages. The marketing, sales and production, personnel work close together to manage the programming and control of our paper production process. In this manner, we are able to plan, optimize and customize different product runs and to anticipate, respond and adapt to seasonal variations and customer preferences.

Pulp and Paper Production Schedule
Our integrated pulp and paper mills operate three shifts, 24 hours a day, every day of the year, with the exception of scheduled maintenance periods. The dates of these maintenance periods are flexible, considering the recovery boiler schedule, and may be moved as a result of factors such as production, market conditions and supply of materials. We keep an inventory of certain spare parts that we consider critical to the production process or that are difficult to replace. We have also developed a close relationship with our suppliers to ensure access to spare parts.

Pulp Customers
In 2025, most of our sales were made under contracts to customers with whom we have a long-term relationship in the Brazilian and export markets. Most of our customers are tissue, printing and writing and specialty paper producers that value the high-quality pulp produced and the reliability of supply provided by us. The majority of deliveries to final customers during last year were made from our overseas terminals in the United States, Europe, – and direct shipments to Asia.

Table of Contents
Prices may vary among the different geographic regions in which our customers are located. For a specific region, usually the price arrangements under our sales contracts are consistent with each customer profile, varying according to volume negotiated, regularity of purchase and our commercial strategy. Our sales contracts provide for early termination in the event of a material breach, insolvency of one of the parties or a force majeure event of an extended duration.
We have a diversified customer base for its pulp products. Our customers generally purchase their products using credit provided by us. We believe we have a good knowledge base to manage our credit risk portfolio through financial (letters of credit and insurance) and non-financial instruments (guarantees).
Paper Sales
We sell our paper products in Brazil and abroad. The markets we seek to serve are large and very competitive. Although price is very important in these markets, we believe that customers that have high-quality standards prefer our products due to the value and quality our paper imparts to their final products, as well as our service level. This preference is shared among customers of all segments, from producers of notebooks and non-promotional materials, to more sophisticated customers, such as producers of promotional materials, high-quality packaging and art books.

Paper Customers
Our customers generally purchase our products using commercial credit provided by our company. We have a diversified customer base for our paper products. We believe we have a good knowledge base to manage our credit risk portfolio through financial (letters of credit and insurance) and non-financial (guarantees) instruments. Additionally, we believe that our strategy to diversify our portfolio of paper clients improves our credit risk performance due to lower correlation between large, medium, small and micro sized clients.
Seasonality
Forest products, such as pulp and paper products, are typically cyclical. Changes in inventories are usually important in price determination. Furthermore, paper demand depends largely on general economic conditions, since production capacity slowly adjusts to changes in demand. Therefore, we can expect seasonal changes in paper net revenues in Brazil depending on such factors. Changes in production capacity may also affect prices.
38
Table of Contents
Similarly, the pulp industry seasonality pattern has been historically correlated with paper production. World paper production normally increases by the end of the summer vacations in the northern hemisphere, as well as during the Christmas and New Year holidays. In Brazil, specifically, paper demand increases in the second half of the year, mainly due to the production of notebooks and books for the beginning of a new school year, which begins in February, and, in some years, governmental programs such as the National Didactic Book Program (
Programa Nacional do Livro Didático
) purchases.
Compared to the pulp market, paper market has a larger number of producers and consumers and greater product differentiation. Although the price of paper is cyclical and historically tied to the price of pulp, with a slight time difference, it is generally considered less volatile than the pulp price. The main factors affecting the price of paper are economic activity, ability to expand production and fluctuation in exchange rates.
Due to specific factors, including pulp and paper machine closures, start-up of new capacities, changes in the cost structure of the industry and the increase of global pulp demand, the seasonality trends observed in the past for the pulp industry may be subject to changes in the future. Nevertheless, seasonality has not caused significant impacts on us over the last three years. For this reason, we do not measure the impacts of seasonality in our results.
Raw Materials
The main raw materials used in pulp and paper production are described below.
Wood
We use fibers from three primary sources for the production of our paper: (i) our pulp; (ii) recycled paper; and (iii) mechanical pulp. Recycled paper and mechanical pulp are used in the interior layers of certain types of paperboard. We use eucalyptus trees for the production of all of our pulp.
The management of our planted forests is a key resource for wood. For further information, see “Item 4.—Business Overview—Our Company—Pulp and Paper—Planting and Harvesting Forests.”
Energy
Our energy matrix is predominantly renewable, with biomass (classified as an energy resource in the forest energy biomass categories) serving as the primary source. The majority of our energy generation is derived from black liquor, a by-product of the pulp manufacturing process, produced through the kraft chemical recovery process utilized in our mills. This black liquor is burned in chemical recovery boilers, contributing significantly to our steam generation.
As secondary energy sources, we utilize bark, wood chips, and wood waste in our processes. These materials are used as complementary fuels to meet the energy requirements of our operations and are burned in auxiliary boilers. Consequently, our chemical recovery process enables us to generate energy in an environmentally friendly manner.
A substantial portion of our energy consumption is supplied by our own electricity generation. Several of our industrial plants are self-producers of energy, consuming the energy generated on-site and exporting surplus energy to the Brazilian national grid. The plants that produce 100% of the energy they consume include Mucuri (BA), Imperatriz (MA), Três Lagoas (MS), Veracel (BA), and our new factory of Ribas do Rio Pardo (MS).
Surplus energy from self-producing plants is allocated to other locations with energy deficits through contracts accounted for at the CCEE (Brazilian Energy Compensation Chamber).
We have undergone the certification process to issue the I-REC (International REC Standard) based on the renewable energy generated by the Três Lagoas (MS) industrial unit. This certificate represents the renewable generation attributes of one megawatt-hour (MWh) of energy produced from biomass and can be sold by the generator on the electricity market.
39
Table of Contents
We also invest in energy efficiency and research and innovation, aiming to increase renewable energy generation by optimizing the use of our own resources. Over the years, we have reduced our consumption of fossil fuels.
In terms of energy efficiency, the chemical recovery process plays a crucial role in pulp and paper production. This process is consistently emphasized in our actions, and we have developed several projects focused on energy efficiency at our industrial plants. We have set a long-term goal to increase our renewable energy exports to the national grid by 50% by 2030 (baseline 2018). In 2025, we exported approximately 2,054 GWh of energy.
In 2025, our energy matrix consisted of 89% renewable sources. Non-renewable sources represented 11%, with natural gas being the most significant source, primarily used in the lime kiln process, as well as diesel oil used in forestry, logistics, and transportation.
Chemicals
A variety of chemicals, including sodium sulfate, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), sodium chlorate, chloride, hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, are utilized in the paper production process, mainly in the pulp production phase. In the production of coated paper, we use various additives, primarily kaolin, calcium carbonate, latex, starch, bleaches and binders. The chemicals used in the pulp production process are recovered and recycled within our pulp mills.
All chemical waste is treated in order to conform to the most current standards and practices of the pulp and paper industry worldwide. The chemicals used in the pulp and paper industry are commonly used in a variety of other industrial activities and do not present a uniquely hazardous threat. Notwithstanding this fact, we strictly adhere to all safety rules and regulations related to the transport, storage and production of chemical products. In addition, we maintain an insurance policy to cover liability in the event of an accident in the transportation, storage or production of chemical products.
Transportation
The cost of transportation of pulp and paper products to the consumer market is an important component of our competitiveness. In the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, logistics costs accounted for 20.7% 21.5% and 19.5% of our cost of goods sold and selling expenses, respectively.
Our scale of production, the proximity of planted forests to our pulp mills and planted forests in relation to our factories and the integration of the processes of pulp and paper production gives us substantial economies of scale and lower production costs. Suzano, Rio Verde and Limeira units, in the state of São Paulo, are strategically located near our major customers for paper products and approximately 150 kilometers from the port of Santos. The Mucuri unit, which primarily services the external market, is strategically located approximately 250 kilometers from Portocel, a port that specializes in the exportation of paper and pulp, and approximately 320 kilometers from the port of Vitória. The Imperatriz unit, in Maranhão, which also primarily services the external market, is located approximately 600 kilometers from the port of Itaqui. The proximity of our forests, factories, Brazilian clients and ports allows us to enjoy relatively low transportation costs, which, in turn, provides a competitive cost structure for exports.
In addition, the Brazilian market may take advantage of Jacareí mill’s proximity to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, while the Aracruz mill has the one of the best logistics in the industry, approximately three kilometers to the Portocel port facility. The Três Lagoas and the Ribas do Rio Pardo mills are located near the “Malha Paulista” railway in the southeast of Brazil, ensuring the cost competitiveness of this mill, although distance from the port is approximately 750 and 850
kms.
Port Operations
The pulp produced for export is shipped in two ways: as break bulk cargo on dedicated ships and as containerized cargo through partial service via long-term maritime charter contracts or spot contracts to our terminals abroad, and then delivered to customers. We conduct operations in the port of Itaqui, (state of Maranhão), port of Santos (state of São Paulo) and port of Barra do Riacho (namely Portocel - state of Espírito Santo).
40
Table of Contents
Port of Itaqui
The port of Itaqui is located on the coast of the state of Maranhão. From this port, we exported in 2024 pulp produced at the Imperatriz mill, which is located approximately 600 kilometers away from the port of Itaqui, where we have a
warehouse of 73,000 tons, and a berth of vessels up to 225m of Length of Overall (LOA), 76,500 ton of DWT (Deadweight Tonnage) and 15m of draft. The berth is managed by EMAP and we have preferential berthing rights.
Port of Santos
The port of Santos is located on the coast of the state of São Paulo. From this port, we export pulp produced at the Jacareí/SP, Limeira/SP, Três Lagoas/MS and Ribas do Rio Pardo/MS units, which are located approximately 150, 250, 750 and 850 kilometers away from the port of Santos, respectively. Through a concession, we operate Terminal 32 (T32) of the port of Santos, with a static capacity of 70,000 tons. In addition, we operate at Vertere (DP World Santos), a private terminal with a static capacity of 160,000 tons.
Paper produced by us for export is mainly shipped out of the port of Santos, which is located approximately 80 kilometers from the Suzano unit and about 250 kilometers from the Limeira unit, where most of the paper production designated to export markets comes from. We also operate with containers at the port of Santos, mainly used in the paper and fluff business.
Portocel
The pulp produced for export at the Aracruz, Mucuri and Veracel pulp mills is shipped out of the port of Barra do Riacho (Portocel), which is located approximately three kilometers, away from Aracruz, approximately 250 kilometers away from Mucuri and 260 nautical miles, from Veracel’s barge terminal. We own 51% of Portocel, the company that operates the port terminal of Aracruz. The remaining 49% of Portocel is owned by Cenibra, another pulp manufacturer.
The Portocel is a modern facility that has the capacity to handle approximately 7.5 million metric tons of pulp and wood per year, from their owners and other players, and different types of material like aluminum, steel coils, granite and project cargo. Warehouse facilities at Portocel are capable of storing approximately 220,000 metric tons of pulp (static storage).
Marketing and Distribution
We have our own sales teams for our pulp and paper business units, which sell our products in both the Brazilian and international markets, to final consumer or distribution intermediaries. We sell our products in both the Brazilian and export markets. In the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 81.5%, 79.8% and 77.7%, respectively, of our net sales from market pulp and paper products was attributable to sales made outside of Brazil. Domestically in Brazil, we have a sales staff consisting of employees operating in various regions of Brazil.
Pulp
Our pulp business unit’s commercial strategy is based on three pillars: strong relationships, long-term partnerships and differentiated services. To ensure proximity with our national and international customers and to ensure that our products are tailored to their needs, we use a Brazilian sales team, which services Latin America, and local sales teams in the United States, Austria, China and Singapore. In Brazil and in each of our international offices, we have technical assistance departments that focus on our customers’ needs, with the purpose of providing our customers with smart technical solutions for their transition from other types of fiber to eucalyptus fiber. We organize annual technical workshops, in Brazil and in each of the countries where we operate, to share with our customers and international offices our innovative initiatives, technical developments and market strategy.

Paper
In 2025, 60.7% of our paper net sales were made to the Brazilian market. In order to better serve this market, we divided it based on customer profiles, which are classified into the following groups: Large Accounts, Dispersed and Widely Dispersed. As the needs of these groups differ, we have structured our commercial, marketing, and strategic actions according to each group, operating as follows:
Large Accounts:
The Large Accounts consists of our biggest clients, which primarily operate the packaging, publishing, and notebook markets. The packaging market is the main destination for paperboard sales. As the name suggests, this group is responsible for the production of packaging for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, tobacco, toys, apparel and footwear, food and beverage, hygiene and cleaning, and food service industries. The publishing market is characterized by the production of books, magazines, and newspapers. This group consumes uncoated and coated printing and writing papers, as well as paperboard. The notebook market is responsible for the production of notebooks, planners, forms, invoices, and envelopes, and consumes uncoated and coated papers and paperboard for the domestic and export markets.
Dispersed:
The Dispersed consists of clients with smaller purchase volumes, which primarily operate in the stationery, retail, printing, and publishing markets. The office market includes the copy, public bids, and corporate sub‑group. Most of the sales are uncoated cut‑size papers, predominantly in the A4 format. The retail market is similar to the Office sub‑group, but comprises only uncoated cut‑size papers, predominantly in the A4 format, with a focus on stationery stores, self‑service outlets, and convenience channels. The printing market comprises primarily coated papers, uncoated papers, and paperboards, which are used, among other applications, for the production of promotional inserts, catalogs, displays, magazines, books, and posters. The publishing market comprises primarily coated papers, uncoated papers, and paperboard for book production.
Widely Dispersed:
The Widely Dispersed consists of our smallest clients, which primarily operate in the stationery, retail, printing, and publishing markets.
To serve the three profiles listed above, we use various distribution channels: we directly sell large paper volumes to publishers and converters and sell small paper volumes both indirectly through publishing distributors and directly through our sales team spread across Brazil. In the copy paper segment, we sell indirectly through paper distributors and directly through our call center, e-commerce, or commercial team for customers with large volumes.
We own distributors for our paper and graphic products, one in Brazil, one in Argentina, Stenfar S.A.I.C. Importadora y Exportadora and (Stenfar), and one in Ecuador, Suzano Ecuador. For Brazilian distribution, we rely on four regional distribution centers: one in São Paulo, one in Serra (Espírito Santo) and one in São José dos Pinhais (Paraná), as well as our local distribution centers, in the cities of Campinas (state of São Paulo), Belém (state of Pará), Brasília (federal district), Campo Grande (state of Mato Grosso do Sul), Cuiabá (State of Mato Grosso), Londrina (state of Paraná), Fortaleza (State of Ceará), Goiânia (State of Goiás), Manaus (State of Amazonas), Porto Alegre (State of Rio Grande do Sul), Recife (state of Pernambuco), Rio de Janeiro (state of Rio de Janeiro), Salvador (state of Bahia), Uberlândia (state of Minas Gerais), Belo Horizonte (state of Minas Gerais), and in Chapecó (State of Santa Catarina).
In October 2024, we completed the acquisition of two new assets in the US from Pactiv Evergreen, an integrated paperboard mill, in Pine Bluff, and an extrusion and conversion facility in Waynesville. These assets allow us to distribute those products locally and export them to foreign markets from the US.

Table of Contents
Other than distributing our own line of paperboard and printing and writing paper, we also distribute other product lines to reach the graphics, editorial and consumer segments and to public agencies. In Argentina, Stenfar is a company-owned distributor of paper and computer supplies operating in Argentina, through which we conduct such distribution operations. Stenfar has been operating for more than 58 years and has an important and active presence in the market, located in Buenos Aires. Stenfar services the graphics, editorial and consumer segments and public agencies, working with printing and writing paper, paperboard and computer supplies.
In Ecuador, Suzano Ecuador is a wholly-owned subsidiary that operates as a paper distributor. Through Suzano Ecuador, we conduct our distribution operations in the country. Suzano Ecuador commenced its operations in 2023, and since then, we have been expanding our presence in the market.
In addition to providing a more comprehensive portfolio of services and products to our customers, our distribution operations in Brazil, Stenfar's distribution operations in Argentina, and the establishment of Suzano Ecuador reflect our commitment to improving our distribution channels. By expanding our network, we aim to benefit our clients directly by increasing proximity and agility in meeting their needs.
Alongside our own lines of paperboard and writing and printing paper, we also distribute other complementary product lines not produced by us, catering to the graphics, publishing, consumer, converter, and government entities segments.
Competition
The pulp industry is highly competitive. The top 20 producers currently supply approximately 77% of the global virgin market pulp capacity according to Hawkins Wright (December 2025). We face substantial competition from numerous producers of paper and hardwood market pulp, including major Brazilian producers, such as Bracell, Eldorado, CMPC and Celulose Nipo Brasileira S.A. (Cenibra). Many factors influence competitive position, including mill efficiency and operating rates and the availability, quality and cost of wood, energy, water, chemicals, logistics and labor, and exchange rate fluctuations. Latin American pulp producers have structural cost advantages over other global competitors, mainly in North America and Europe, due to their shorter harvest periods and higher land productivity, which is only partially offset by geographical distance from the end markets. Many of our Latin America competitors enjoy cost advantages similar to ours, including low production costs, and have access to similar sources of funding to finance their expansion projects.
The international pulp and paper markets are highly competitive and involve a large number of producers worldwide. As a vertically integrated pulp and paper producer, we compete not only with other vertically integrated pulp and paper producers, but also with companies that produce only pulp or paper. Many of these producers have greater financial resources than we do and enjoy lower financing costs. However, as the largest producer of eucalyptus pulp and virgin market pulp in the world in 2025, according to Hawkins Wright, we maintain our competitive advantage by keeping production costs low, maintaining long-term contracts with our customers and vertically integrating our operations.
Sustainability Strategy
We guide our sustainability strategy based on Material Topics identified through a comprehensive study that combines the perspectives of various stakeholders — those with interests in the sectors in which we operate — with key topics for our business.
In our most recent materiality assessment, conducted in 2023, we identified 11 Material Topics: Water and Effluents; Biodiversity; Emissions and Climate Change; Waste and Hazardous Materials; Human Rights; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Human Capital; Relationship with Communities; Product Design and Life Cycle Management; Supplier Management; and Certification.
In determining materiality, we follow internationally recognized guidelines, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). Furthermore, all of our Material Topics are in line with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
43
Table of Contents
In 2020, we established 15 long‑term sustainability goals, known as the Commitments to Renewing Life, developed through a collaborative process involving internal teams and stakeholder dialogue. Several of these were 2025 goals, so we conducted a new cycle of corporate strategy review, creating an opportunity to reassess and strengthen the integration between our sustainability agenda and strategic drivers. As part of this process, in 2026 we changed our approach to long‑term goals by incorporating our past experience, results and stakeholder expectations, and consolidated the remaining goals into seven long‑term goals, organized under the Climate, Nature, and Social pillars and centered on areas with the greatest potential for meaningful impact: water, biodiversity, climate and communities.
Our non-financial information is reported annually and is limited assured by an independent third party. The Sustainability Report and Sustainability Center were published prior to the 2026 Shareholder Meeting, considering major sustainability reporting frameworks, such as Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the principles of International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), Resolution 59 of the CVM, and the SDGs. Our Sustainability Report includes metrics from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) for the Pulp & Paper Products, Forest Management, and Containers & Packaging sectors, it considers the International Financial Reporting Standards guidelines for Climate-Related Disclosures (IFRS S2), by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), which incorporated the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Our Sustainability Report, is not incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 20-F.
Focusing on priority ESG ratings, in 2025, we achieved the following results: MSCI rating "BB"; platinum medal on EcoVadis, continuing as one of the best rated companies in the world; scored "A List" in CDP forest, "A-" in CDP Water and "B" in CDP Climate Change; and rating for “Low Risk” on Sustainalytics.
We have secured funding through sustainability linked financing, including Green Bonds (securities linked to the use of proceeds for projects with environmental additionality), Sustainability Linked Bonds (“SLBs”), and Sustainability Linked Loans (“SLLs”) (bonds and loans linked to sustainability performance targets). As the first company in the Americas and the second globally to issue an SLB, in 2020, Suzano has remained focused on the sustainable finance agenda. In 2026, we will continue to focus on new opportunities and innovation, in line with our public sustainability commitments. As of the end of 2025, 38% of our debt was composed of sustainable financial instruments.
In 2025, we carried out three sustainability-linked loan transactions totaling US$2.0 billion. The debt was raised based on the biodiversity target of “Connecting 500,000 hectares of priority areas for conservation by 2030,” a commitment that guides the development of ecological corridors across the Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, and Amazon biomes, strengthening landscape connectivity, reducing habitat fragmentation, and contributing to biodiversity restoration and protection. In addition, we secured two facilities with BNDES through the Climate Fund, totaling R$360 million, to enable the restoration of 24,000 hectares of degraded land in six Brazilian states and to finance an important project in our decarbonization pathway.
We also maintain our policy of incorporating sustainability criteria into our investment analysis, considering our set of our seven long term sustainability goals along with the financial parameters, as well as the internal carbon price and the shadow carbon price.
Environmental Matters
General
We are committed to produce our products with efficiency and with the lowest impact on natural resources and the environment. Our continuing goal is to increase our positive impacts, while avoiding and mitigating adverse impacts on the environment by controlling our emissions, preserving biodiversity and by fully complying with Brazilian environmental regulation, legislation and recognized international standards.
Our industrial units are ISO 14001 certified, which attests to our environmental management system, except for Tissue mills (Belém, Maracanaú, Cachoeiro and Mogi Unit) and Suzano Packaging US. We also have received other certifications, including ISO 9001 and ISO 45001.
44
Table of Contents
Our forests units are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC® -C010014) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC 28-32-63), including controlled sources. Both FSC and PEFC seals attests our responsible forest management. These seals were created by different multisector international organizations, have strong international recognition and are also labeled in several of our products and our clients’ products. We reinforce our commitment to establish plantations exclusively in areas previously anthropized by other uses whose conversion has not occurred under our responsibility, committing to a zero-deforestation policy.
Water
We have a goal of reducing specific water withdrawal in our industrial units by 15% by 2030, linked to SDG 6. Considering the expected curve until 2030, we defined each mill’s internal annual and monthly targets and monitor monthly each mill’s internal targets, mapped out best practices, replaced equipment to enhance water efficiency and used recovered water in machines. This matter is embedded in our governance framework through performance targets tied to the variable compensation of Industrial Officers and other lower positions. In 2025, we already achieved 100% of the target set out for 2030.
Solid Waste and Wastewater
The treatment of effluents in all industrial units is carried out in our own Effluent Treatment Plants and includes primary (physical) and secondary (biological) treatment. The biological sludge generated at the effluent treatment plants has been treated in different eco-efficient ways. In addition to complying with the applicable rules on solid waste, our mills have a waste management plan and operational procedures. Waste management includes daily monitoring and forums focused on reducing solid waste generation, increased recycling and internal reuse and reduction of shipment to landfills. The mills also receive internal and external audits.
In 2020, we announced an ambitious goal to reduce the industrial waste sent to landfills by 70% by 2030. Until 2025, our units in Limeira, Jacareí, Rio Verde, Três Lagoas, Belém and Mogi das Cruzes continued to maintain their performance of not sending waste to landfills, and we already achieved the target set out for 2030.
We are committed to a zero deforestation policy and adoption of best forest management practices, as defined by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Therefore, our eucalyptus plantations co-exist interleaved with areas destined for biodiversity conservation - the mosaic landscapes approach, which enhances business resilience while contributing to the balance and sustainability of ecosystem. Our forest management practices follow the legislation, standards and commitments undertaken. Also, being certified by international widely recognized standards, the FSC and the PEFC, both auditable certification schemes.
We maintain and protect more than 1 million hectares of native vegetation, which corresponds approximately to 40% of our total area. To increase the protection and monitoring of biodiversity, we voluntarily identified areas considered global or nationally important for biodiversity conservation, defined as High Conservation Value Areas (HCVA) and Private Natural Heritage Reserves (IUCN Category IV).
The scope of the target to preserve biodiversity considered our representativeness extent and territorial influence, focusing on the priority areas for the biodiversity conservation in Brazil, going beyond our properties. We have committed to “connect half a million hectares of priority areas for the conservation of biodiversity in the Cerrado (Brazilian Savannah), Atlantic Forest and Amazon” by 2030, measuring yearly the connected fragments (in hectares) and other benefits.

Climate Change
With one of the largest forest bases in the world, we understand our role in fighting climate change and constantly seek to expand our environmental performance and engagement. Together, native forests and eucalyptus plantations contribute directly to removing and storing CO
2
from the atmosphere. Therefore, we are committed to doing more than reducing direct and indirect emissions from our value chain. Our purpose is to remove significant additional amounts of carbon from the atmosphere, thus mitigating the effects of the global climate crisis.
Our starting point for measuring our actions is the Greenhouse Gas Inventory, a tool developed through internally established procedures and recognized methodologies (such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol) and verified by third parties, which annually accounts for our total emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) and removals.
Using the Greenhouse Gas Inventory tool, it is possible to assume and monitor our climate goals, ensuring traceability and transparency in the evolution of emissions and removals. In 2025, Suzano has advanced in its climate ambition through the approval of Science Based Targets Initiative (“SBTi”) targets in line with the 1.5° trajectory which contemplate direct and value chain emissions, as described below:
(1) Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50.4% by 2032, on a 2022 base year.
(2) Have 80% of suppliers, based on spending, and 80% of customers, based on revenue, with commitment to science-based targets by 2028.
The absolute reduction of emissions in Scopes 1 and 2 does not consider emissions related to forestry operations (such as planting, management, and harvesting), as established by SBTi.
To further support our decarbonization strategy, we have launched in 2025 our Climate Transition Action Plan (CTAP). CTAP is our strategic roadmap to prepare us for a low-carbon future, guiding actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to climate risks and seize opportunities in a changing climate.
For scope 3, the SBTi target covers the most relevant fronts of the value chain: purchase of inputs and services (category 1), transportation and distribution (category 4), and processing of products sold (category 10), which represent more than 67% of the company's indirect emissions. In July of 2025, Suzano launched the Climate pillar within the “Compartilhar Program”, our supplier engagement program, focusing on prioritized suppliers. Our goal is to engage strategic suppliers and customers to adopt science-based targets, creating a network of partners committed to decarbonization.
Due to the SBTi targets’ approval, the previous Commitments to Renew Life (Suzano’s internal targets set in 2020) related to climate have gone through changes:
Discontinuation of:
•
Increase renewable energy exports by 50%
•
Reduce the intensity of scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 15% per ton of production
Finalized goal in 2025:
•
Remove 40 million tons of carbon in the atmosphere by 2025.
With these changes, we are aligned with the most up-to-date methodologies, international guidelines and level of ambitiousness required by the market.
It is important to mention that the new targets do not affect our sustainable finance instruments such as SLLs and SLBs. While the CPRV intensity-based targets are being discontinued, the related KPIs for Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity will continue to be monitored, audited, and reported. This ensures full compliance with our obligations under Sustainability-Linked Loans (SLLs) and Bonds (SLBs).

We also take part in the Climate Action 100+ initiative, led by investors. We report to CDP and seek to ensure that our public climate-related information is in line with global climate reporting best practices, such as IFRS S2, TCFD, GRI and SASB.
In 2025, we implemented a comprehensive climate governance in line with the requirements of both TCFD framework and IFRS S2 regulation. This structure keeps supervision by the Board of Directors, supported by the Sustainability Committee and the Statutory Audit Committee. In the executive and management levels, the Sustainability area leads the internal discussion in partnership with other areas through 3 working groups:
–
Decarbonization: Implements the decarbonization strategy in the areas of energy matrix, biomass and value chain.
–
Advocacy and climate and carbon opportunities: Manage risks and opportunities through regulatory monitoring, advocacy and analysis of climate and carbon trends.
–
Risk management, financial quantification and adaptation: Quantify potential financial impacts on company assets and the value chain related to climate risks.
Reflecting the growing importance of this issue within our operations, a portion of the variable compensation of our managers and below positions is linked to sustainability and climate goals. The topics chosen for the goals relate to both emissions reduction initiatives and decarbonization projects, as well as projects engaging our whole value chain, from suppliers to customers.
Climate change and its potential effects are considered one of our priority risks to our operations. To this end, we have a structured system in place for assessment, treatment (i.e., response to risk), monitoring and reporting. Our assessment of the potential physical impacts of climate change, as well as those arising from the transition to a low-carbon economy, is conducted on an ongoing basis and will continue to evolve. The data is used to calibrate harvest and planting planning models and to review the assessment of co-related climate risks to define new specific action plans, when necessary.
In 2025, we continued to use our new climate risk financial impacts model, which seeks to calculate the future financial impact of the potential materialization of the main risks to which our assets and operations are exposed. We used last year’s pilot project’s results of last year’s pilot project to scale and expand this methodology to our other assets, initially providing us internally with relevant information to increase resilience and adaptive capacity in the face of different climate scenarios and provide feedback on business strategies. This project aims to prepare us to comply with ISSB IFRS regulation.
We also prioritize the use of renewable energy, as approximately 89% of the energy we use comes from renewable fuels (such as black liquor and biomass). We are self-sufficient in the Mucuri, Imperatriz, Três Lagoas and Ribas do Rio Pardo units in terms of energy needs and some mills are even selling surplus energy back to the grid. In 2025, 2,054,132 MWh of renewable electric energy were supplied to the public grid from these units.
Carbon credits
Given the extent of our real estate properties and our sustainable forest management practices, we are well positioned to develop and sell certified carbon credits in the voluntary market. Our ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation) Carbon Horizon Project, focused on the recovery of degraded areas through reforestation with native and eucalyptus trees and the generation of socio-environmental benefits. In March 2023, Verra, our certification body, completed the validation and first verification of 1.9 million tCO₂e for the project (VCS ID 3350). Subsequently, in June 2025, following the completion of the second verification, the project reached a total of 2.3 million tons of long-term average CO₂e removals, of which 1.9 million are eligible for credit issuance.
We continue to actively monitor ongoing regulatory developments in carbon markets at both the national and international levels. In Brazil, this includes the advancement and operationalization of the Brazilian Emissions Trading System (SBCE), created by Law No. 15,042/2024, which introduced a regulated cap-and-trade carbon market and provides for interoperability with the voluntary carbon market. In parallel, we continue to assess opportunities within the voluntary carbon market, aligned with our long-term climate and sustainability strategy.

Brazilian Environmental Regulation
The Brazilian federal constitution assigns to the Brazilian federal government, the states, the federal district and the municipalities the authority to enact laws and issue regulations regarding environmental protection and preservation of Brazilian fauna and flora, as well as the power to enforce such laws. States can only enact laws and issue regulations to supplement federal law, exerting full legislative power only in the absence of federal regulations. The municipalities have authority to enact laws and issue regulations only with respect to matters of local interest or to supplement federal and state laws.
The Brazilian environmental policy establishes that activities (i) considered actually or potentially polluting; (ii) that use natural resources; or (iii) that, in any manner, may result in environmental degradation, are subject to prior environmental licensing. This procedure is necessary both for the initial installation or expansion of any facility that meets any of those characteristics. The environmental licensing process generally follows three consecutive stages: preliminary license, installation license and operating license.
Regarding licensing procedures, municipalities have the jurisdiction to license facilities that only have a local environmental impact, pursuant to definitions issued by the State Environmental Council. The Brazilian federal government is responsible for the environmental licensing of projects and activities: (i) within the Brazilian inland borders; (ii) located in the Brazilian territorial sea, continental platform or exclusive economic zone (which term is defined under Brazilian law); (iii) located in indigenous lands; (iv) located in national parks or other federal conservation areas; (v) between two or more Brazilian states; (vi) of military nature; (vii) regarding radioactive material and/or nuclear power; (viii) of national interest, as defined in the Executive Order No. 8,437/ 2015. Finally, the states are responsible for the environmental licensing of all the other activities located within their borders.
The preparation of an environmental impact study and its corresponding environmental impact report, or EIA/RIMA, is required for purposes of licensing activities with significant environmental impact. In any such event, we are required to pay a compensation fee for negative environmental impacts caused by the relevant project. This fee can amount to up to 0.5% of the total cost of the project. Since most of our main activities began before the enacting of the law that established the environmental compensation fee, we were not required to pay such compensation in those cases (projects performed before the year 2000). However, the activities started after the enactment of the National System of Conservation Units – SNUCs law are subject to the obligation to pay environmental compensation. Therefore, new projects may require additional investments to compensate for the environmental impact.
Our licenses and permits for the operation of our plants require, among other things, that we periodically report our compliance with environmental laws, regulations and standards. With regard to our plans, we are currently either (i) in compliance with all operating and environmental licenses or (ii) in the process of renewing these licenses.
Our forestry activities are regulated by the Brazilian federal government and the state governments of the states of São Paulo, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Piauí, Tocantins and Maranhão. The planting and harvesting of trees can only be done in accordance with a project previously approved by the state agencies, except for the States of São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul, where a forestry license is not required. Furthermore, in observance of the new Forestry Code (Federal Law n. 12.651/2012), we must keep at least 20% of our rural landholdings covered with native forests or replanted with native plant species as a Legal Reserve (
Reserva Legal
). Legal Reserves must be registered with a new registry system named the Rural Environmental Registration (
CAR – Cadastro Ambiental Rural
). In such system, the land owners shall provide information on all the environmentally protected areas to the supervisory agency. However, this restriction increases to 35% in the Cerrado biome and up to 80% in the Amazon forest biome. Also, according to federal law, native vegetation from areas along rivers and other water bodies as well as steep slopes and hilltops are to be treated as Permanent Preservation Areas, which are essential to the conservation of water resources, scenery, animal, human and plant health, biodiversity and soil in the area. Our forestry operations are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. See “Item 4. B ─ Environmental Matters.”

Table of Contents
Our operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to air emissions, effluent discharges, solid waste and reforestation. In Brazil, individuals or legal entities that violate environmental laws can be punished by criminal sanctions that range from fines, imprisonment and confinement, in the case of individuals, to fines, restriction orders or dissolution, in the case of legal entities. In addition, administrative sanctions that can be imposed include, among others:
•
fines that may reach up to R$10 million if operating without a license and R$50 million in the case of severe environmental damages;
•
partial or total suspension of activities;
•
forfeiture or restriction of tax incentives or benefits; and
•
forfeiture or suspension of participation in credit lines with official credit establishments.
In addition to criminal and administrative sanctions, pursuant to Brazilian environmental laws, the violator must also provide compensation and reimbursement for the damage that was caused to the environment and third parties. At the civil level, there is joint and strict liability for environmental damages. This means that the obligation to compensate for the damage caused to the environment may affect each and every individual or legal entity directly or indirectly involved, regardless of the existence of actual fault by the agents involved. Therefore, the engagement of third parties to carry out any intervention in our operations, such as the final disposal of waste, does not exempt the contracting party from eventual damages to the environment caused by the contractor. In addition, environmental laws provide for the possibility of piercing the corporate veil, in relation to the controlling shareholder, whenever such corporate veil is an obstacle for the reimbursement of damages caused to the environment.
Using advanced technology, our operations comply with applicable Brazilian laws and regulations, and we believe that we also meet all recognized international standards determined by institutions and agreements to which we or Brazil are signatories.
Insurance
We believe that we maintain adequate insurance coverage for our facilities related to our operational, commercial and business risks. Consistent with industry norms and practice in Brazil, we do not maintain insurance coverage for fire and other risks to our planted forests. Nonetheless, we adopt a series of measures, such as maintenance of a firefighting brigade and keeping the lanes between our production units of eucalyptus trees unobstructed, which historically has significantly prevented the spread of fires. With these initiatives, in 2024 we achieved an average response time to fires of 30 minutes from identification to fighting. We use the amounts we would otherwise pay as premiums for fire insurance to implement preventive and safety measures, such as installing fire towers and fire control equipment and training firefighting personnel. It is our policy to maintain insurance coverage for our inventory of wood.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Eucalyptus Planted Forests
General
One of our greatest strengths is that we are a fully integrated low-cost producer of pulp and paper. That is due, in part, to the low cost of cultivating and processing eucalyptus trees compared to other species. As shown in the illustration below, the short growth cycle of our eucalyptus trees — seven years — presents a significant competitive advantage in relation to the costs associated with other fibers. For more information about our low wood costs, see “Item 4.B — Raw Materials — Wood.”
Our planted forests along with those of our partners are concentrated in the south of the State of Bahia, in the state of Espírito Santo, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the state of São Paulo, in the east of the state of Minas Gerais, in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul, in the states of Tocantins, Pará and in southwest of the state of Maranhão, and in north and east of the states of Maranhão and Piauí.

Assisted Growth
For new plantings, we use both seeds and clones selected for their characteristics, such as height and diameter, productivity per hectare, lack of branches below the crown, suitability to local soil and climate conditions, and resistance to disease. Saplings grown from selected seeds and clones are initially cultivated inside climate-controlled greenhouses. These saplings are then transferred to outdoor nurseries, where they are allowed to grow and after which they are moved to be planted.
We conduct research specific to each of our growing regions, utilizing general concepts of plant physiology and genetics. In the future, our productivity may increase through cloned hybrid cuttings or selected seeds. The research program also continues to seek ways to improve the uniformity of wood quality and maintain ecological balance by studying the soil, plant nutrition and pest control.
Harvesting
Eucalyptus trees are harvested by our employees and by independent contractors through an automated system and, in some cases, manually. Logs are generally transported to our pulp mills as needed and we store small amounts of logs at all of our production facilities.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The following discussion of our financial condition and operating results should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, as well as with the information presented under “Presentation of Financial and Other Information” and “Item 3. Key Information — A. Financial Data.”
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements for several reasons, including, without limitation, the risks described in “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors.”
Overview
With 100 years of experience, we operate mainly in the pulp (paper grade and fluff) and paper (paperboard, printing and writing and tissue) segments. We believe that we are one of the largest vertically integrated producers of pulp and paper in Latin America and, according to Hawkins Wright, we were the largest producer of eucalyptus pulp and virgin market pulp in the world in 2025. In common with other Brazilian eucalyptus pulp producers, we have the lowest cost of pulp production in the world. We believe our modern technology of plantation and harvesting and our strategic location for plantation facilities are among our competitive strengths.
We believe we are one of Brazil’s largest paper producers, and based on data from IBÁ, we accounted for nearly 43% of the printing and writing paper and 25% of the paperboard produced in Brazil in 2025.
Foreign Currency Impact in Our Operations
As a predominantly exporting company, our results are exposed to exchange variations. As such, fluctuations in the exchange rate, especially with regards to the U.S. dollars, may impact our operating results. We issue debt securities in the international markets as an important part of the capital structure that is also exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate. The mitigation of these risks comes from our own exports, which creates a natural hedge. Furthermore, we employ U.S. dollar sales, in futures markets, including strategies with options, as a way to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of our income. The sales in future markets are limited to a percent of the currency exposure over the 24-month horizon and, as such, are dependent on the availability of exchange ready for sale in the short-term.
Pulp Segment
The year 2025 was characterized by heightened geopolitical tensions and a challenging macroeconomic environment. In this context, the pulp market was notably affected, particularly in the first half of the year, due to uncertainties surrounding tariff policies. This environment influenced market sentiment, prompting caution among buyers and putting pressure on pulp prices. During the second half of 2025, the impact of these measures became more clear which, along with the exclusion of pulp from the U.S. tariff scope, contributed to a gradual improvement in industry sentiment and, combined with other factors, supported the rebound in hardwood pulp prices.
The Chinese market, in particular, showed mixed tendencies throughout the year. At the beginning of 2025, prices followed an upward trend, reflecting the temporary exit of a major integrated paper producer, which also produces and supplies pulp for their operations. From the second quarter onward, hardwood pulp prices approached US$500 per tonne, due to buyers' hesitation in the face of macroeconomic uncertainties and due to increased inventory consumption. This led to a postponement of new orders, with volumes gradually recovering as prices adjusted. From the third quarter onward, as regulatory policies became more clear, we observed a resurgence in demand, accompanied by an increase in Brazilian hardwood pulp exports to China compared to 2024. The fourth quarter was characterized by seasonal factors related to preparations for the Chinese New Year, which resulted in a decrease in pulp inventories at ports and an increase in paper production compared to the third quarter, particularly in the paperboard and printing & writing segments.

In Europe, according to annual data from Utipulp, consumption of hardwood pulp remained consistent with that of the previous year, while softwood pulp consumption declined by 10%. This trend highlights the ongoing fiber substitution, driven by our leadership and the widening price gap between the two fiber types. The sanitary paper segment demonstrated greater resilience throughout the year, whereas printing & writing papers continued to face pressure. In the second half of the year, the appreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar increased cost pressure on European producers, influencing decisions on production downtimes and contributing to gradual adjustments in supply. In North America, the sanitary paper market remained robust throughout 2025, despite uncertainties stemming from tariff policies.
Regarding supply, the year was marked by a gradual adjustment process. The market experienced unplanned shutdowns due to prevailing market conditions, conversion from paper grade pulp to dissolving pulp by a major producer with operations in Brazil, and Suzano's announcements of production reduction. These supply reductions, however, were still below expectations given the high production costs relative to the price levels observed throughout the year.
Our pulp net sales totaled R$37,816 million in 2025 (an increase of 1% compared to 2024). The share of pulp sales from exports was 95%, while the domestic market accounted for 5%. Concerning distribution for end use, the sanitary paper segment accounted for 64% of total sales in 2025, followed by Specialty Papers with 14% and Printing & Writing with 14%, packaging with 4% and others with 4%. APAC accounted for 48% of the net sales, followed by EMEA with 28%, North and South American countries (including Brazil) with 24%.
Our average pulp net price in US$ sold by Suzano in 2025 was US$542/t, 16% lower than in 2024. In the export market, our average net price was US$542/t, down 16% from 2024.
Paper Segment
According to IBÁ, domestic sales of printing and writing paper and paperboard were stable in 2025 compared to 2024, while imports increased by 2%.
Our domestic sales were also stable compared to 2024, following Printing & Writing demand, as uncoated paper sales grew due to the purchases for the public textbook bid (
Programa Nacional do Livro Didático -
PNLD
)
, which offset the decrease seen in coated paper sales, a result of their secular trend. Regarding paperboard, sales in Brazil increased 1% compared to 2024. On the tissue side, we experienced an upside as a result of the acquisition of Kimberly Clark's tissue business in Brazil, impacting 12 months in 2024. Overall, paper sales increased 19% to 1.71 million tons in 2025, compared to 1.44 million tons in 2024.
In 2025, our net revenue from paper sales totaled R$12,300 million, a 25% increase from 2024. Net revenue from domestic sales increased 3%, and sales outside Brazil increased 91%, with the incorporation of the Suzano Packaging US. From total revenue, 60.7% came from sales in Brazil, and 39.3% from foreign markets. The geographic breakdown of our total revenue from paper sales in 2025 was 69.4% in Latin America (including Brazil), 27.0% in North America and 3.6% in other regions.
The average net paper price in 2025 was R$7,186/ton, 5% higher than in 2024. In the domestic market, the average net paper price was R$7,457/ton, a 3% increase compared to 2024. In the international market, average price was US$1,218/ton, a 12% increase compared to 2024. In Brazilian real, the average price in the international market was R$6,805/ton, 16% higher than in 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We participate in a number of off-balance sheet arrangements, mainly related to guarantees, take or pay contracts and exchange and purchase agreements. We also have a number of swap transactions as described in “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” All of these transactions are further described elsewhere in this annual report. See notes 4 and 17.1 to our audited consolidated financial statements, included in this Annual Report.

Year ended December 31, 2025
compared to year ended December 31, 2024
Our net sales increased 5.7%, to R$50,115.7 million in 2025 from R$47,403.3 million in 2024 a result impacted mainly by the incorporation of Suzano Packaging’s revenues, higher pulp sales and the 3.7% appreciation of the average US dollar against the average Brazilian real, which was partially offset by lower net pulp prices.
Our net sales from pulp increased 0.6%, to R$37,816.1 million in 2025 from R$37,593.5 million in 2024, due to a 15.0% increase in sales volume and the 3.7% appreciation of the average US dollar against the average Brazilian real, which was partially offset by a 15.6% decrease in pulp prices in U.S. dollars. Our net sales from pulp represented 75.5% in 2025, compared to 79.3% in 2024.
Our net sales from pulp exports increased 2.1%, to R$36,029.2 million in 2025 from R$35,298.2 million in 2024, mainly due to 17.0% increase in pulp sales volume and the 3.7% appreciation of the average US dollar against the average Brazilian real, which was partially offset by the 15.8% decrease in pulp export sales prices. Net revenues from pulp exports represented 71.9% of total net revenues in 2025.
Our average international pulp price decreased 15.8%, to US$542/ton in 2025 from US$644/ton in 2024. In the domestic market, our average net pulp sales price decreased 12.3%, to US$536/ton in 2025 from US$611/ton in 2024. For a discussion of the reasons of the increase in international sales price of pulp, see above “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Pulp Segment”.
Our paper net sales increased 25.4%, to R$12,299.5 million in 2025 from R$9,809.8 million in 2024. Net sales from paper represented 24.5% of total net sales in 2025, compared to 20.7% in 2024. The increase in net sales from paper in 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024 is mainly due to higher volume by the incorporation of Suzano Packaging US. Net revenues from paper exports represented 9.7% of total net revenues in 2025. Our net sales from paper in the domestic market increased 2.5%, or R$184.2 million, to R$7,462.8 million in 2025 from R$7,278.6 million in 2024, impacted by increases in net sales price.
Our average international realized paper price increased 12.1%, to US$1,218/ton (R$6,805/ton) in 2025 from US$1,086/ton (R$5,853/ton) in 2024. In the domestic market, the average net paper sales price increased 2.8%, or R$202/ton, to R$7,456.8/ton in 2025 from R$7,254.3/ton in 2024.
Cost of sales
Our total cost of sales increased 23.7%, to R$33,889.5 million in 2025 from R$27,401.5 million in 2024, mainly driven by higher volume and the appreciation of the average US dollar against the average Brazilian real, partially offset by the reduction in the cost of pulp production.
Gross profit
Our gross profit decreased 18.9%, to R$16,226.2 million in 2025 from R$20,001.8 million in 2024. The decrease was mainly explained by the lower net average pulp price, partially offset by the increase in sales volume and the appreciation of the average US dollar against the average Brazilian real.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Our selling expenses increased 12.7%, to R$3,312.7 million in 2025 from R$2,938.5 million in 2024. This increase was mainly driven by higher sales volume.
Our general and administrative expenses increased 6.5%, to R$2,790.2 million in 2025 from R$2,619.8 million in 2024. The increase is explained by the incorporation of Suzano Packaging US, which contributed only two months to the results in 2024.

Loss from associates and joint ventures
Our expense from associates and joint ventures increased to R$409.2 million in 2025, compared to R$13.8 million in 2024. This increase is mainly due to the non‑recurring accounting effects arising from the divestments concluded during the year. In August 2025, we completed the sale of our entire equity interest in Woodspin Oy and Suzano Finland Oy to Spinnova Plc for the symbolic amount of 1 euro each. Because of the transaction, in 2025 we recognized the following accounting effects, which significantly impacted the equity pickup line: (i) R$117.4 million related to the impairment of the investment, (ii) R$28.7 million related to the obligation to make an additional capital contribution, (iii) R$(15.6) million related to the realization of other comprehensive income of the joint venture Woodspin Oy and (iv) R$63.6 related to the write‑off of goodwill of the associate Spinnova Plc.
In November 2025, we sold our entire equity interest in Ensyn Corporation, liquidated F&E Technologies LLC, and recognized the impairment of our investment in F&E Tecnologia do Brasil S.A., all related to the same technology developed by Ensyn. In 2025 we recognized a the following accounting effects that impacted our equity pickup line: (i) R$160.5 million related to the write‑off of Ensyn goodwill, (ii) R$(0.4) million related to the recognition of the provision for losses on investments, and (iii) R$(9.9) million related to the reclassification of other comprehensive income.
Additionally, the equity pickup line reflected a reduction in net income of R$21.0 million from Ibema Companhia Brasileira de Papel, and an increase in expenses of (i) R$21.0 million from Spinnova Plc, (ii) R$1.6 million from Biomas – Serviços Ambientais, Restauração e Carbono Ltda., (iii) R$1.5 million from associate Simplifyber, Inc., (iv) R$12.6 million from Woodspin and (v) R$4.0 million from F&E Technologies LLC, partially offset by a increase in net income of R$2.4 million from Ensyn Corporation.
Other operating (expenses) income, net
Our other operating income (expenses) decreased 25.9%, to R$934.9 million in 2025 from R$1,261.6 million in 2024. The negative variation refers mainly explained by higher write-offs of property, biological and intangible assets, and the discontinuation of operations.
Operating profit before net financial income
Our operating profit before net financial income decreased 32.1%, to a profit of R$10,649.0 million in 2025 from a profit of R$15,691.1 million in 2024, due to the facts mentioned above. Our operating margin in 2025 was 21.2% compared to 33.1% in 2024.
Net financial income (expenses)
Our net financial income (expenses) decreased to a gain of R$9,762.2 million in 2025 from a loss of R$28,802.1 million in 2024. This increase occurred largely due to the results of monetary and exchange rate variation, net, in 2025 (a gain of R$7,550.6 million in 2025, compared to loss of R$15,885.0 million in 2024), and results from derivative instruments (a gain of R$7,328.7 million in 2025, compared to a loss of R$9,112.7 million in 2024).
Income and social contribution taxes
Our total income tax and social contribution was negative in R$6,973.5 million in 2025, compared to positive R$6,066.3 million in 2024.
The decrease was primarily driven by the appreciation of the average U.S. dollar against the average Brazilian real, which reduced the carrying amount of our deferred tax assets related to foreign exchange losses and derivative instruments that are taxed on a cash basis.
Net income (loss) for the year
Our net income increased 290.7%, to a gain of R$13,437.7 million in 2025 from a loss of R$7,044.7 million in 2024. This result was due to the factors mentioned above.

B.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Funds
Our cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities is affected by various factors. The key factors that affect our cash flow from operations are (i) the volume of product sold and the market price of pulp, (ii) the exchange rate between reais and U.S. dollars and (iii) the cost of our raw materials. Investing activities are mainly affected by (i) our capital expenditure program and (ii) our decision to divest some of our assets, such as fixed assets and biological assets. Finally, our cash flow from financing activities is directly related to the level of new debt we have incurred and on the repayment of existing debt.
In our opinion, we believe that our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements. Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash flows from operating and financing activities and short-term and long-term borrowings.
Our material cash requirements have historically included the following:
•
working capital;
•
debt service; and
•
capital expenditures.
Long-term borrowings have generally been used to finance our major capital expenditure projects and have historically been sourced principally by either export prepayment contracts under which we, or one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, borrow funds by offering the guarantee of export contracts, debentures issued in the local capital markets, or capital expenditures acquisition financing programs offered by BNDES. The scheduled maturities of these long-term loans have been structured to match the expected cash flow from the conclusion of the related capital expenditure projects and, as a result, reduce the risk of any significant deterioration of our liquidity position. We also rely on bonds or notes issued in the international markets by wholly-owned subsidiaries, mainly domiciled in other countries.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were R$15,179.8 million and R$9,018.8 million, respectively. Of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities held as of December 31, 2025, 51% was denominated in reais invested in both public and private financial investments. The remaining 49% of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was denominated in U.S. dollars.
As of December 31, 2025, we had access to a Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) in the total amount of US$1,275.0 million, originally available until February 2027. As of December 31, 2025, we had not drawn under this line. On February 5, 2026, a new RCF agreement was executed, replacing the previous RCF and increasing the total available amount to US$1,775.0 million and extending availability until February 2031.
On March 5, 2026, our board of directors approved the Company’s 2
nd
issuance of Rural Product Notes (“CPR”), in the total amount of R$2,500.0 million, and the 12
th
issuance of debentures, which will meet the requirements of article 2 of Law 12,431, in the total amount R$179.0 million. Both facilities are expected to be settled by the beginning of April 2026.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments represented a negative net balance of R$230.3 million as of December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, our balance sheet presented a lower working capital balance (current assets less current liabilities) of R$30,094.2 million compared to R$17,705.0 million on December 31, 2024. Our current assets as of December 31, 2025, were equivalent to 3.2 times our current liabilities.
For 2026, we have already announced to the market, as approved by our board of directors, the intention to invest R$7,254.5 million as maintenance capex (for further information please see “Item 5.B – Capital Expenditures” below). This will primarily be financed by the cash and cash equivalents and cash generation for 2026.

Table of Contents
For the year of 2026, we also believe that we will be able to access either capital or banking markets, if necessary.
With respect to long term capital needs, we use a model of ten years to monitor our needs in a series of scenarios and variables, including currency exchange rates and commodity prices, with the intention to preserve the liquidity and improve the capital structure. In this context, we work to anticipate exercises of liability management to improve liquidity or if conditions are favorable.
All of our future liquidity conditions rely on a series of scenarios and may be adversely affected depending on market and other conditions. Actual liquidity may differ significantly for several reasons, including, without limitation, the risks described in “Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 3. “Key Information – Risk Factors.”
Operating Activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities totaled R$18,152.2 million in 2025, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of R$20,604.4 million in 2024. This decrease of R$2,452.2 million was mainly due to lower pulp prices in 2025 and an appreciation of the average US dollar against the Brazilian real, directly impacting our revenues.
Investing Activities
Our net cash used in investing activities totaled R$9,832.7 million during 2025, compared to net cash used in investing activities of R$20,512.7 million in 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025 investing activities for which our used cash primarily consisted of (i) R$4,578.8 million used in additions to property, plant and equipment, (ii) R$7,913.5 million used in additions to biological assets, (iii) partially offset by cash generated from marketable securities in the net amount of R$2,941.9 million.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities used net cash of R$1,819.6 million during 2025 compared to net cash used in financing activities of R$83.8 million in 2024. During 2025, our main sources of financing were (i) R$23,871.8 million in loans and financing, which mainly consisted of R$3,000.0 million in Rural Credit Notes (“NCR”), R$2,000.0 million in CPR, US$1,200.0 million (equivalents to R$6,951.6 million) in a syndicated export prepayment facility, two export loans of US$250 million (equivalent to R$1,418.5 million) and US$150 million (equivalent to R$856.6 million) from J.P. Morgan, US$100 million (equivalent to R$542.1 million) in an export prepayment loan from MUFG bank, US$200 million (equivalent to R$1,112.5 million) in a term loan from Export Development Canada (“EDC”), US$1,000.0 million (equivalent to R$5,412.3 million) from US$-denominated bonds, and CNY1,300.0 million and CNY100 million (equivalent to R$984.0 million and R$75.7 million, respectively) from the panda bonds. During the year ended December 31, 2025, our principal uses of financing was repayment of R$22,353.3 million of loans, financing and debentures, (ii) payment of R$2,208.2 million in interest on own capital and dividends, (iii) R$191.9 million of shares repurchased, (iv) payment of R$1,448.0 million in lease contracts and (v) positive settlement of R$530.7 million in derivative financial instruments.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures (capital expenditures incurred – cash basis) totaled R$13,298.7 million in 2025, in comparison to R$17,119.8 million in 2024. In 2025, the amount of R$7,880.0 million was allocated to industrial and forestry maintenance. Investments in projects related Expansion and Modernization, Land and Forestry and others amounted to R$4,412.9 million. Investments related to Cerrado Project amounted to R$1,005.8 million.

Table of Contents
The approved budget of our capital expenditures for 2026, amounting to R$10,947.4 million, encompasses remaining investments in projects previously disclosed to the market, such as investment in potential new investments in lands and forests that may increase our future competitiveness and maintain options for the future growth of our business. The decrease compared to 2025 is mainly due to: (i) the Cerrado project's investment schedule, whose remaining expenditure refers to disbursements related to performance bonuses for exceeding the new mill’s performance parameters, as established in the commercial agreements with suppliers; (ii) lower investment intensity associated with the projects announced in the fourth quarter of 2023 related to Fluff Pulp and investments in Espírito Santo State; and (iii) lower disbursements associated with the standing-wood swap transaction (R$439 million in 2026) - please refer to: “Item 4. Information on the Company - A. History and Development of the Company”.
Indebtedness
As of December 31, 2025, our total consolidated outstanding indebtedness (which includes current and non-current loans, financing and debentures) was R$94,801.3 million, of which R$3,004.9 million represented current indebtedness (R$2,877.7 million refers to loans and financing and R$127.2 million refers to debentures) and R$91,796.4 million represented non-current indebtedness (R$82,617.0 million refers to loans and financing and R$9,179.4 million refers to debentures). The description of our consolidated financings and loans is presented on note 18 to our audited consolidated financial statements, included in this Annual Report. The main factor explaining the decrease in debt in local currency is the exchange rate variation of R$8,384.1 million during the period.

Research and Development
Our Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) efforts are organized under a Chief Sustainability, Research and Innovation Officer. This initiative targets enhanced synergy between departments to ensure the sustainability of our forests and operations. It aims to foster business growth and transformation, intending to broaden our market beyond pulp and paper. Additionally, we are committed to strengthening our position as an innovative company dedicated to the SDGs.
Our technology and innovation facilities are spread out to meet the demands and particularities of all of our mills and forest units. The technology centers, where we have our main assets and laboratories, are located in:
•
Aracruz – state of Espírito Santo, Brazil – focusing on the main business (pulp and forest development);
•
Itapetininga – state of São Paulo, Brazil – focusing on biotechnology activities with an emphasis on later stage development;
•
Jacareí – state of São Paulo, Brazil – focusing on activities related to our eucalyptus breeding program;
•
Limeira – state of São Paulo, Brazil – focusing on consumer goods, fluff, packaging and paper developments;
•
Rehovoth, Israel – focusing on developments of FuturaGene´s early to mid-stage biotechnology R&D.
Efforts in R&D&I are conducted not only within our research facilities, but also in partnership with various universities, suppliers and private research institutes in Brazil and abroad.
By attempting to improve our processes and to develop innovative and higher quality products in a sustainable way, our research and development activities are mainly directed at increasing forestry productivity, reducing the operational costs and optimizing industrial processes, making our production more efficient, advancing in the value chain with products using our fiber and developing new products through (i) forest management with optimization of natural resources and costs; (ii) robust eucalyptus breeding program; (iii) improving the use of eucalyptus fiber in the manufacture of pulp, paper, packaging, paperboard and consumer goods (tissue, non-woven and diapers); and (iv) developing new applications for eucalyptus fiber, including nanomaterials. To support all these innovation fronts, we invested
R$199.2 million in 2025.
Our commitment to increasing the productivity and quality of sustainably managed forests remains strong, with an expanded focus on forest resilience. In 2025, we made significant progress towards this goal. Our research group intensified the development of new eucalyptus clones focused on growth, cellulose content, and wood quality, using state-of-the-art techniques such as genetic recombination through controlled pollination. We continue to leverage all available genomic tools, germplasm diversity, extensive field evaluation, and high-precision laboratory analyses.
In 2026, another decisive step was taken: we increased the number of clones recommended for operational planting from 51 to 70, further enhancing genetic diversity, adaptability, and delivering significant year-over-year gains in IMACel and IMA indicators, according to estimates generated by Tetrys (The Eucalyptus Tree Reliable Yield System), our clonal allocation optimization system.
The Transition Nursery, designed for the large-scale production of high-potential clones, became a consolidated reality in 2025. We closed the year with more than 5 million seedlings produced, significantly expanding our capacity to meet demand for high-performance genetic materials.
In addition, the Forest Genetics and Breeding Management team continued to expand the use of the innovative Speed Breeding technique, which has accelerated the clonal breeding cycle by reducing the time required to develop new clones from 21 to just 7 years.
In parallel, the Forest Management team integrates technological innovation with a focus on productivity gains, operational efficiency, and sustainability, ensuring the long-term viability of the forest business through an integrated approach based on communication, technical excellence, and multidisciplinary.

In 2025, consistent improvements were observed in silvicultural quality throughout the entire cycle, with advances in the indicator of adherence to silvicultural recommendations and enhancements in optimization tools, increasing accuracy in the recommendation of sprout management practices. These advances contributed to greater operational stability and productivity gains.
We also advanced in building more resilient forests by integrating genetics, management, and environmental factors, refining practices for managing more fragile soils and initiating the adoption of regenerative management practices focused on soil health and climate change adaptation. In forest protection, 2025 was marked by record levels of biocontrol agent usage and the approval of new herbicides and insecticides, resulting in gains in efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness.
This is the result of the knowledge generated by our researchers and transferred through our Technological Extension activities, which strengthen the connection between research and operations through a portfolio-driven approach focused on value generation, productivity, cost efficiency, and forest resilience.
Our biotechnology division, in turn, operates through Futuragene, a global leader in plant biotechnology research and development focused on increasing eucalyptus productivity and climate resilience. We address existential challenges of climate change, water scarcity and land limitations while meeting growing global demand for wood production. With R&D centers in Israel and Brazil, we pioneer innovations in eucalyptus to sustainably intensify its production, which helps reduce fossil fuel consumption, water usage, and chemical inputs - thereby delivering both environmental and economic benefits while promoting safer working conditions.
Using state-of-the-art technologies such as bioinformatics, genomics, gene transformation, and gene editing, we focus on increasing eucalyptus productivity while reducing inputs and carbon footprint across cultivation and industrial processes.
We hold eleven regulatory approvals for genetically modified (GM) eucalyptus varieties with enhanced productivity, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, including advanced stacked-trait varieties.
In 2025, FuturaGene became the first company in the world to submit an inquiry letter to the National Technical Commission on Biosafety (CTNBio) for a gene-edited eucalyptus. This innovation is designed to deliver wood that is easier to process industrially, supporting more efficient and sustainable pulp production by reducing chemical and energy input requirements. If approved as equivalent to conventional varieties, this eucalyptus strain will not require further biosafety assessment in Brazil.
FuturaGene remains the only company on the planet to have taken GM eucalyptus from lab to field, providing a pipeline of varieties for a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.
In the industrial segment, our pulp developments continue to drive the advancement of the Fiber-to-Fiber strategy as one of the key levers of the disciplined growth pillar. The pulp market continues to grow organically, driven by the development of emerging markets and by the increasing share of eucalyptus pulp in a wide range of paper formulations and applications. This trend—at the core of our Fiber-to-Fiber strategy—creates significant potential for Suzano to further benefit from this movement.
Between 2020 and 2025, we recorded an average increase of approximately 2.8% CAGR in the proportional demand for BHKP pulp relative to BSKP, representing more than 700 thousand tons of additional BHKP pulp enabled by the Fiber-to-Fiber strategy.
Our team developed and standardized new types of technical services focused on knowledge transfer in eucalyptus-based papermaking, supporting this transition across multiple segments and clients, including tissue, print & write, specialty papers, and packaging. More than 70 clients and 100 mills were supported through our initiatives, achieving an average fiber substitution success rate of 12 percentage points in paper formulations across joint projects.

Audit Committee
In 2011, the CVM approved an Instruction (No. 509/2011) governing the
comitê de auditoria estatutário
(statutory audit committee), an audit committee established under the bylaws of the issuer and subject to certain requirements under the CVM rules. Effective January 2018, the B3 listing rules for its
Novo Mercado
segment require that a company listed on the
Novo Mercado
(such as ourselves) create and implement an audit committee in accordance with the CVM rules.
Novo Mercado
segment of B3 is a premium listing segment for Brazilian companies that meet the highest standards of corporate governance. For further information on the
Novo Mercado
listing segment, see “Item 9. The Offer and Listing–Markets–São Paulo Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Standards.”
On April 1, 2019, our shareholders approved an amendment to our bylaws requiring us to establish a statutory audit committee. Our statutory audit committee is an advisory committee of our board of directors, and provides assistance in matters involving our accounting, internal controls, financial reporting and compliance. Our statutory audit committee also recommends to our board of directors the appointment of our independent auditors and evaluates the effectiveness of our internal financial and legal compliance controls. According to our bylaws, our statutory audit committee must have at least three members, and not more than five members, which must be independent in accordance with the independence requirements of the CVM and at least one of whom must have recognized experience in corporate accounting. Additionally, B3 Novo Mercado listing rules require that at least one member of the audit committee be a independent board member, but they permit the appointment of other members who are not members of the board of directors provided such other members meet the independence requirements of the CVM. Our bylaws expressly require that our statutory audit committee consist of one or more persons who are independent members of our board of directors and one or more persons who are not members of our board of directors and also provides that the members of the committee can not be part of the executive officers board.
Our statutory audit committee is not equivalent to or comparable with a U.S. audit committee. Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(c)(3), which provides for an exemption under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, regarding the audit committees of listed companies, a foreign private issuer is not required to have an audit committee equivalent to or comparable with a U.S. audit committee if the foreign private issuer has a body established and selected pursuant to home country legal or listing provisions expressly requiring or permitting such a body, and if the body meets the requirements that (i) it be composed of one or more members of the board of directors and one or more members that are not also members of the board of directors, (ii) its members not be elected by management, (iii) no executive officer be a member of the body, and (iv) home country legal or listing provisions set forth standards for the independence of the members of the body. We believe that our statutory audit committee complies with these requirements, and we rely on the exemption provided by Rule 10A-3(c)(3) under the Exchange Act. The following table sets forth the name, position, date of appointment and term expiration for each of the members of our audit committee:

In addition to receiving a fixed salary, our entire board of executive officers participate in a profit-sharing program based on the achievement of certain personal and corporate goals. We also provide the following benefits, among others, to certain members of our board of directors and our entire board of executive officers: life insurance, health care plans, dental care, meal vouchers, transport, payroll loans and private pension plans. In addition to the benefits, we offer our management team long-term incentive programs.
Until 2023, we had three long-term Incentive plans based on shares: (i) the Phantom Share Plan, (ii) the Share Appreciation Rights (“SAR”), and (iii) the Performance Share Plan. In 2024, our management decided to discontinue the SAR Plan and keep the Phantom Share Plan and the Performance Share Plan, upon the approval of two new Plans. With this new structure, our purpose is: i) aligning the interests of managers with our interests and our shareholders; ii) attracting, rewarding, retaining and encourage them to conduct our business sustainably, within appropriate risk limits and aligned with the interests of shareholders; and iii) grant them a financial incentive. This changes were approved by our shareholders at the Annual and Extraordinary Meetings held on April 25, 2024.
Performance Shares Plan
Members of the Board of Directors, both the statutory and non-statutory board officers, and key employees are eligible to be beneficiaries of the our Performance Share Plan.
The Board of Directors may approve the grant of Performance Shares to Beneficiaries of the Plan, under the terms and conditions established in the Plan, and in the respective Programs and Grant Agreements. Each Performance Share corresponds to one (1) common, registered, book-entry share with no par value, to be delivered to the Beneficiary, once the conditions established in the Plan and the respective Program and Agreement have been met.
The Board of Directors determines the number of performance shares for each beneficiary, adhering to the global and, if applicable, the extraordinary limit under the plan. The number of performance shares delivered depends on achieving the targets set after the vesting period, as outlined in the programs and agreements. Initially, the grant's financial value is set, then converted into performance shares based on the average price of our common shares over the last ninety trading sessions on the B3 stock exchange prior to the program’s grant date..
The Board of Directors sets and approves the targets for granting performance shares based on TSR performance indicators and strategic priority metrics for each program.
For the Performance Share Plan, TSR refers to the performance indicator mechanism related to shareholder return, used to measure the performance of the reference group over a specific period by combining the share price of the comparable to demonstrate the return provided to the shareholder.
The vesting period is determined by the Board of Directors in each program or grant agreement and may vary between three and five years from the grant date.
The Board of Directors, at its sole discretion, and based on the Compensation Committee’s recommendation, according to the provisions of the Plan and programs, shall approve: (i) the beneficiaries who shall be entitled to receive Performance Shares; (ii) the number of Performance Shares to be granted, which may be based on a reference value or a maximum amount, always respecting the Overall Limit; (iii) the goals and other conditions for acquiring the right to receive Performance Shares, including possible adjustments or modifications required over time, observing the specific terms and conditions in the grant programs and agreements, as applicable.
Under the Performance Share Plan, beneficiaries may be granted shares representing up to 2% of our total issued shares on the plan’s approval date. This amount may adjust due to changes in the number, type, and class of shares as a result of bonuses, splits, reverse splits, or conversion of shares of one type or class into another, or conversion into other securities issued by us, or even in the case of eventual declarations of proceeds during the vesting period.

The Board of Directors may, in exceptional situations to preserve our best interests, establish conditions different from those in this plan for extraordinary grants of performance shares. These may occur when negotiating an entry bonus to hire managers or key employees who may become beneficiaries, or due to bonuses for specific activities or projects that bring significant returns to us. Such grants may not exceed 0.3% of our total issued shares on the plan’s approval date, always respecting the overall limit under the plan.
Phantom Shares Plan
Our officers both statutory and non-statutory, as well as other employees (consultants, coordinators, specialists, functional managers, executive managers, directors, functional directors, and vice presidents) are eligible to be beneficiaries of the Plan, considering the criteria established in the long‑term incentive policy. Our Board of Directors has the authority to approve the grant of Phantom Shares to the beneficiaries, under the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, in the respective programs, and in the related grant agreements.
As provided for above, each Phantom Share entitles its holder to receive a monetary value equivalent to the market price of one (1) share, determined by the market quotation on the determination date (such share, a “Reference Share” for purposes of the Phantom Shares Plan).
The number of Phantom Shares to be granted to each beneficiary is calculated based on two main criteria: (i) the financial value assigned based on the beneficiary’s reference salary and salary multiple or by financial references related to the position grouping; and (ii) the value in reais per share, determined by the average quotation of the Reference Shares over the last 90 trading sessions on the B3 stock exchange prior to the program’s grant date.
Beneficiaries can only exercise their rights to the phantom shares during the exercise period, after meeting the vesting period and other conditions outlined in the plan and agreements. The grant of phantom shares do not automatically confer rights to beneficiaries, including their exercise and settlement.
The vesting period is set by the Board of Directors in each program or grant agreement, ranging from three to five years from the grant date. The exercise period, also determined by the Board, may not exceed two years from the end of the vesting period.
The settlement of phantom shares is conducted through cash payment to the beneficiary of the redemption amount, calculated by multiplying the number of phantom shares by the average quotation of the reference shares over the last 90 trading sessions on the B3 stock exchange, as specified in each program. This amount includes TSR as a multiplier in the redemption calculation.
TSR, within our phantom shares plan, refers to the performance indicator related to shareholder return, measuring the performance of the Reference Group by combining the share price to demonstrate the return provided to the shareholder.
The Board of Directors, based on the Committee’s recommendation and in compliance with the the plan, approves programs that specify: (i) the beneficiaries of phantom shares, (ii) the number of phantom shares granted; (iii) the conditions and necessary modification for exercising rights related to the phantom shares; (iv) the vesting and exercise periods; and (v) other related terms and conditions.
In exceptional situations, to protect our best interests, the Board of Director may establish conditions different from those in the plan for extraordinary grants of phantom shares, such as when negotiating entry bonuses for new managers or key employees, or for bonuses tied to specific projects that yield significant returns for us.
Share Appreciation Rights Plan
We made available to certain of our executives and employees a SAR Plan, under which the payment, in cash, was linked to the price of our shares and, for a group of executives, was also linked to the performance of our shares in relation to our competitors. The difference between this plan and the phantom shares plan was the fact that there is a minimum appreciation requirement for vesting.
82
Table of Contents
The options have an exercise price (or minimum level of share appreciation) that represents the average of the last 90 trading days prior to the grant date. The plan was composed of one tranche with a vesting period ending three years after the grant and maturing six months after the end of the vesting period. After five years, the options are exercised automatically.
The beneficiary was invited to participate in the plan. The acceptance by the beneficiary required the investment of an amount equivalent to 5% of the grant at the date of the grant, and 20% at the end of the vesting period, which must be deposited in our bank account.
The beneficiary’s gain varies depending on the performance of our shares and may vary up to 25% more depending of the relative performance of our shares and the competing shares (TSR – Total Shareholder Return). This percentage is calculated based on our performance for the relevant period in comparison with our competitors’ performance and may vary between 75% and 125%.
In 2024, management decided to discontinue the SAR Plan and no new options will be granted. Managers still hold options granted under our SAR Plan and may chose to exercise them in the end of the vesting period.

•
The highest annual individual remuneration (fixed, variable and indirect benefits, not including social contribution) of each body makes no exclusions, considering all remuneration received by the respective member for functions exercised in the last 12 months.
Clawback Policy
On November 30, 2023 our Board adopted a policy pursuant to which our executive officers will be required to repay or return erroneously awarded compensation to us in accordance with the clawback rules, Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or standards adopted by the SEC thereunder (including Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act) or the Listing Exchange pursuant to Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act (including Section 303A.14 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual), in each case as may be in effect from time to time.

Although the amounts of any liability that could arise against us with respect to these actions cannot be accurately predicted, in our opinion, except as described below, such actions, if decided adversely to us, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. The amount of the legal cases assessed as reasonably possible, as of December 31, 2025, is R$10,417.7 million for tax proceedings, R$189.5 million for labor proceedings and R$1,023.7 million for civil proceedings.
Tax Proceedings
As of December 31, 2025, we were involved as the defendant in approximately
56
administrative and judicial proceedings of tax and welfare nature, which likelihood of loss is probable, involving a plurality of taxes, such as corporate income tax (IRPJ), social contribution on net income (CSLL), retained income tax (IRRF), social integration program (PIS), social contribution on revenue (COFINS), tax on industrialized products (IPI), social contribution, tax on rural real estate (ITR), value added tax on goods and services (ICMS), tax on services (ISS) and real estate tax (IPTU).
As of December 31, 2025, we had provisions, net of judicial deposits, of R$2,270.7 million related to tax claims for which our legal counsel considers that the likelihood of loss is probable. In addition, the total amount related to proceedings in which we are defendants, and for which our legal counsel considers the likelihood of loss possible, is R$10,417.7 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had no provision accrued for claims which likelihood of loss is possible.
The remaining tax and welfare proceedings refer to other taxes, such as social contribution, IRPJ, CSLL, ITR, ICMS, ISS, IRRF, PIS and COFINS, mainly due to divergences on the interpretation of applicable tax rules and ancillary tax obligations.

Table of Contents
We list below our key legal proceedings:
a.
Income Tax Assessment – IRPJ/CSLL: Swaps of Industrial and Forestry assets: In December 2012, we received a tax assessment for income tax and social contribution, alleging unpaid tax on a capital gain in February 2007, the closing date of the transaction, when we executed an agreement with International Paper regarding a swap of industrial and forestry assets. . On January 19, 2016, the Tax Federal Administrative Court (CARF) rejected, as per the casting vote of the CARF’s President, the appeal filed by us in the administrative process. We were notified of the decision on May 25, 2016 and, given the impossibility of further appeals and the consequent closure of the case at the administrative level, decided to pursue the discussion in the Judiciary. The lawsuit was ruled in favor of our interests, and the National Treasury's appeal is currently awaiting judgment at the lower court. In December 2023, pursuant to article 25, paragraph 9ºA, of Law No. 14,689/23, the Active Debt Certificates were rectified to definitively cancel the amounts related to the tax assessment penalty and its charges. The probability of loss in this case is possible, except for the provisioning of the amount equivalent to the contingent liability assumed arising from the business combination. In our assessment, based on the opinions of our external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss has been classified as possible, except for the amount provisioned corresponding to the contingent liability assumed in connection with the business combination. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the estimated amount of the possible exposure is R$1,861.9 million (R$1,688.7 million as of December 31, 2024).
b.
Income Tax Assessment – IRPJ/CSLL : This refers to an administrative proceeding initiated in October 2023, resulting from tax assessments for IRPJ and CSLL issued against Suzano S.A., for the calendar year of 2019. The alleged infractions include: (i) nondeductible expenses; (ii) improper deduction of operating expenses; (iii) profits earned by the subsidiaries abroad; (iv) goodwill amortization; (v) lack of addition of bonus paid to directors to the CSLL calculation basis, and (vi) tax loss and negative CSLL basis. We filed an administrative objection, which was partially upheld. Subsequently, we filed a voluntary appeal, which was also partially upheld. We are currently awaiting formal notification of the respective administrative decision. Based on our assessment and the opinions of our external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss is classified as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the total amount of the possible exposure is R$1,008.8 million (R$920.6 million as of December 31, 2024).
c.
Income Tax assessment – IRPJ/CSL: Disallowance of Depreciation, Amortization and Depletion expenses – 2010: In December 2015, we received a tax assessment demanding the payment of IRPJ and CSLL. The assessment challenges the deductibility of depreciation, amortization, and depletion expenses of 2010, which we had included in its income tax calculations. We filed an administrative appeal, which was partially upheld. This decision was subject to a voluntary appeal, filed by us in November 2017. The case was remanded for further fact-finding, and we are currently awaiting the continuation of the proceedings. In our assessment, supported by the opinions of our external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss has been classified as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025 the total amount of the possible exposure is R$932.0 million (R$875.5 million as of December 31, 2024).
d.
Tax assessment – IRPJ/CSLL: On October 5, 2020, we were notified of a Tax Assessment issued by the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service ("RFB") claiming the payment of IRPJ and CSLL credits, resulting from the remeasurement of the profit of its subsidiary Suzano Trading Ltd for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016. Risk of loss is considered as possible for us, as well as the officers, but with a higher chance of winning. We filed our administrative defense, and the case was remanded for further fact-finding proceedings. Subsequently, the defense was partially upheld, and we intend to file a voluntary appeal against the unfavorable portion of the decision. In our assessment, supported by the opinions of our external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss has been classified as possible. In the year ended December 31, 2025 the total amount of the possible exposure is R$663.2 million (R$609.5 million as of December 31, 2024).

e.
PIS/COFINS – Goods and Services – Period of 2009 to 2011: In December 2013, we were assessed by the RFB demanding the collection of PIS and COFINS credits disallowed for allegedly not being linked to its operational activities. In the first instance, the objection we filed was dismissed. A voluntary appeal was filed and it was partially upheld in April 2016. From this decision, we filed a special appeal, and certain divergences were admitted for consideration by the Superior Chamber of Tax Appeals (“CSRF”). The National Treasury also filed a special appeal with the Superior Chamber. The CSRF . The CSRF denied the National Treasury’s appeal and partially upheld our appeal. We are currently awaiting formal service of the CSRF’s decision. In our assessment, supported by the opinions of our external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss has been classified as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025 the total amount of the possible exposure is R$213.3 million (R$201.2 million as of December 31, 2024).

Tax incentive — Agency for the Development of the Northeastern Brazil (ADENE): In 2002, we applied for and were granted by the RFB the right to benefit from a reduction in the IRPJ and non-refundable additional taxes calculated on operating profit, for plants A and B (period from 2003 to 2013) and plant C (period from 2003 to 2012), all located in the Aracruz unit, under the condition of making new investments in its units located in the area covered by ADENE. In 2004, we received a notice from the extrajudicial administrator of the extinct Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast (“SUDENE”) informing it that the right to enjoy the benefit previously granted was deemed unfounded and would be revoked. In 2005, a tax assessment was issued demanding alleged amounts relating to the tax incentive enjoyed up to that point. After administrative discussions, the tax assessment was partially upheld, recognizing our right to benefit from the tax incentive until 2003. Our management, advised by our legal advisors, believes that the decision to cancel the referred tax benefits is incorrect and should not prevail, whether concerning the benefits already enjoyed or those not yet enjoyed until their respective final terms. Currently, contingency is being discussed in the judicial sphere and we are awaiting the judgment of the appeal filed against the unfavorable decision. In our assessment, supported by the opinions of our external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss has been classified as possible. For the year ended
December 31, 2025 the total amount of the possible exposure is R$159.0 million (R$150.9 million as of December 31, 2024).
g.
Offsetting – IRRF – Period 2000: We filed a process to offset IRRF credits for the year ended December 31, 2000 against debts owed to the RFB. In April 2008, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service partially recognized the credit in our favor. We filed a voluntary appeal with CARF against this decision, the case was remanded for further fact-finding proceedings. In the second-instance administrative decision, our appeal was partially upheld. We are currently awaiting formal notification of the respective administrative decision. In our assessment, supported by the opinions of our external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss has been classified as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025 the total amount of the possible exposure is R$130.9 million (R$125.5 million as of December 31, 2024).
h.
IRPJ /CSLL – Partial Approval – 1997 Period: We filed a process to offset credits arising from tax losses for the year 1997 against debts owed to the RFB. In March 2009, the tax authorities approved only R$83.0 million, resulting in a difference of R$51.0 million. We are still awaiting the conclusion of the analysis of the credits under administrative review following a favorable decision by CARF in August 2019, which upheld the voluntary appeal we filed. For the remaining portion of the credit, we filed a lawsuit, which is currently awaiting judgment in the second instance of its appeal, filed after an unfavorable ruling. In our assessment, supported by the opinions of our external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss has been classified as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the total amount of the possible exposure is R$128.4 million (R$122.3 million as of December 31, 2024).
i.
Tax Assessment – IRPJ/CSLL: Administrative proceeding demanding the collection of IRPJ and CSLL for the 2015 calendar year. The alleged infractions include (i) transfer pricing; and (ii) non-deductible expenses. We filed a defense in January 2020, which was partially upheld. Following this decision, we filed a voluntary appeal, and the case was remanded for further fact-finding proceedings. We are currently awaiting a decision on the appeal. In our assessment, supported by the opinions of our external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss has been classified as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the total amount of the possible exposure is R$121.3 million (R$112.2 million as of December 31, 2024).

IRPJ/CSLL - Partial Approval – 2000 Period: In 2024, we submitted a request to offset credits arising from the negative balance calculated in the year 2000 against debts owed to the RFB. The RFB fully disallowed the tax credit. After presenting the defense and the appropriate appeals, the process ended unfavorably to us at the administrative level. The Attorney General's Office of the National Treasury (“PGFN”) filed a tax execution to collect the amounts, at which time we filed the appropriate motions to stay the tax execution, which were partially upheld. We have filed an Appeal, which is awaiting judgment. In our assessment, supported by the opinions of our external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss has been classified as possible.For the year ended December 31, 2025, the estimated amount of exposure is R$105.6 million (R$101.7 million as of December 31, 2024).
k.
ICMS – Tax Credits –2014 Period: Tax enforcement proceeding initiated by the State of São Paulo for the collection of ICMS allegedly due for the period from May 2014 to December 2014. The claim arises from the alleged failure to reverse ICMS credits related to the replacement of electricity invoices originally issued by the energy concessionaire, as well as the alleged failure to record such invoices in our tax books in connection with the entry of electricity into its establishment. Upon notification, we submitted a judicial guarantee and is currently awaiting formal service to file its objections to the tax enforcement proceeding. Based on our assessment, including the analysis of our internal legal department, the likelihood of loss is considered possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the estimated exposure amounts to R$118.9 million (R$98.2 million as of December 31, 2024).
Labor Proceedings
As of December 31, 2025, we were involved as defendant in
1,152

Additionally, we were involved in 1,211 labor proceedings assessed as reasonably possible, with a total amount under dispute of R$189.5 million. We are also involved in collective disputes filed by labor unions located in the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, São Paulo, Maranhão and Mato Grosso do Sul.
The labor proceedings filed against us involve common matters under dispute in other agroindustrial companies, such as overtime and termination payments, additional compensation for allegedly unsafe/unhealthy labor conditions, in addition to lawsuits filed by outsourced and third-party employees claiming that we are secondarily or jointly liable for compensation owed to them by their original employers.
Civil, Land and Environmental Proceedings
As of December 31, 2025, we were involved in
73
judicial civil and environmental proceedings assessed as reasonably probable, for which we have a provision of, R$297.0 million, net of judicial deposits. .

The civil judicial proceedings refer mainly to indemnification claims, real estate possession challenges, claims for the revision of contractual provisions, bankruptcy, reimbursement of funds claimed from landowners and land lawsuits.
The environmental judicial proceedings involving us mainly relate to licensing issues and environmental impacts of our activities. We are also a party in administrative proceedings that discuss issues related to forestry operations and environmental licensing. Claims deemed material are outlined below.
Environmental Matters

Table of Contents
We currently have two relevant class actions (
ação civil pública
) filed by the Federal Public Prosecution Office in the north and northeast regions of Brazil, which: (i) the first, challenge the jurisdiction of the state’s environmental agency, in favor of Brazilian’s Federal Environmental Angecy - IBAMA jurisdiction, to grant environmental licenses and claiming compensation for the impacts of our operation and (ii) the second, alleges the negative impacts of the operation in the Lower Parnaíba Region, at the State Maranhão, by Suzano, futhermore, the Federal Public Prosecution Office claims that the occupation of these areas has caused socio-environmental impacts in the eastern Maranhão region. The risks involved in such proceedings include delays in our plantation schedule and the suspension of the activities carried out in our Maranhão unit until a new permit is issued and the impacts are repaired.With regards to the first class action the superior court is still to rule on an appeal against the injunction granted against us, and to the second claim is still pending judgement by the trial judge, as this case is still currently in the investigative phase, with expert procedures underway.
In December 2020, the Prosecutor's Office of the State of Bahia initiated a public civil action against us, questioning the applicability of the concept of "Consolidated Rural Areas," established by Federal Law No. 12,651/2012, in areas within the Mata Atlântica Biome. The case is still in its initial stages, and a preliminary injunction was granted by the State Of Bahia Court Of Appeals (
Tribunal de Justiça da Bahia
) permitting the regular operation of our areas, while the merit discussion over the recognition of the Regulatory Decree for the Atlantic Forest biome as still pending. The Court requested in-depth technical studies from the Bahia Environmental Institute (INEMA) to identify possible Consolidated Rural Areas in the region. This decision is subject to appeal by both us and INEMA.
The municipality of Nova Viçosa, located in the state of Bahia, filed a Public Civil Action against us, claiming collective damages due to alleged consequences of our dredging operations in a navigation channel in the Municipality of Caravelas, operated by us until 2021. Although these operations were conducted in accordance with environmental permits issued by INEMA and the Brazilian Federal Environmental Agency (IBAMA), the municipality alleges that the dredging caused impacts on fishing and aesthetic elements.
The motion by the municipality was mostly denied due to the lack of legal and factual requirements for an injunction, except for a partial grant obliging us to hire an audit to attest to the robustness of our corporate governance. We appealed, and in 2025 the State Court accepted the clarifications presented, expressly acknowledging that we have duly complied with robust internal rules and practices related to corporate governance, organizational culture and environmental risk management, in line with its ESG commitments. As a result, these aspects were deemed fully satisfied by the Court. The case is now proceeding in the ordinary course, with preparation for the expert evidence phase, and no material adverse impacts are expected.
Additionally, 50 individuals filed lawsuits against us, claiming individual damages due to alleged consequences of the dredging operations. All motions for preliminary injunctions by these individuals were rejected by the Judge and upheld by the State Court of Appeals.
In August 2023 and 2024, we were involved in two lawsuits filed by the Federal Prosecutor's Office with practically identical objectives seeking the suspension and subsequent revocation of our licenses and authorizations related to activities allegedly impacting traditional communities in southern Bahia.
We contend that this action lacks merit. The areas in question have been operated by us and our predecessors since the 1980s, with all operations authorized through environmental licenses. There are no demarcated traditional territories in the direct influence area of our activities in southern Bahia, and we do not operate in demarcated indigenous territories.
In both lawsuits, the injunctions requested by the plaintiff were rejected by both the Judge, and State of Bahia Court of Appeals, who found the alleged facts and claims more likely to be unsubstantiated than truthful, and due to the absence of risk to justify an urgent order.

In 2025, a preliminary injunction was issued requiring prior consultation with quilombola communities in connection with new licensing procedures for road maintenance activities that could potentially affect such communities. The injunction does not restrict our current operations, as we do not carry out direct road construction or maintenance activities, nor operate in a manner that affects quilombola communities. We have appealed the decision, which is currently pending judgment.
We restate our compliance with the rights of native and traditional peoples, in line with our guidelines for relations with this public, and maintain a series of social and environmental programs within our environmental license procedures that benefit indigenous and traditional peoples in our area of influence.
In December 2024, the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the State of São Paulo filed a public civil action against us regarding alleged odor emissions associated with our industrial unit in Limeira, State of São Paulo. The case is ongoing and a preliminary injunction is in force, with which we are fully complying through the submission of monitoring reports.
The São Paulo State Environmental Agency (CETESB) renewed the operating license for the Limeira unit, adjusting certain operational parameters. We maintain that our operations comply with applicable environmental regulations, and no material adverse impacts are expected at this stage.
Civil Matters
There are tree class actions filed by the Federal Public Prosecution Office claiming (i) a preliminary injunction to prohibit Company’s trucks from transporting wood in federal highways above legal weight restrictions, (ii) the increase in fines and penalties for overweight in cargo, (iii) the compensation for damages caused to federal highways, to the environment and the economic order, and, also (iv) moral damages. Only one of such claims was ruled against us, while the remaining cases were decided in favor. Appeals have been filed against these Lower Court decisions. These Appeals are currently suspended by a decision rendered, in 2021, by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) regarding the same matter. In December 2024, the case was ruled by STJ declaring the possibility to be applied cumulative fines, inhibitory measures and, also, civil liability for damages caused by the carriers. Appeals were filed against such STJ´s decision over the past year (pending judgment). As the STJ has not indicated any criteria for these fines neither indemnification, the amount (fines and indemnification) of a court ruling is still uncertain and will depend on a loss and damage assessment process.
In 2015, we filed a civil lawsuit against a competitor who improperly and without authorization used a variety of eucalyptus protected by Fibria's intellectual property rights (cultivar - VT02). The district court (Lower Court) granted an injunction prohibiting the cultivation and use of the biological asset by the competitor (injunction still in force) and also ordered the counterparty to pay compensation for material damages to be determined and calculated in a further judicial phase. The parties filed appeals to the State Court of Appeals (TJMS), which reversed the prior judgment denying our claims. We have filed a Motion to Clarify which remained dismissed reason why we filed a new appeal to the Superior Court of Appeals (STJ). In parallel, the defendant filed an lawsuit to annul the cultivar VT02 registration. The current status of the cases are: (a) infringement and indemnification proceeding: pending judgment of the appeals by STJ and; (b) motion to annul the cultivar: awaiting the judgment by the lower judge.
Land
Issues
In 2013 and 2015 we were subpoenaed for two class actions filed by the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office regarding real estate properties we acquired in the northern part of the State of Espírito Santo. The Federal Prosecutor requested (a) the annulment of the deeds and public registrations, (b) compensation for moral damages we allegedly caused and (c) the suspension of financing for Company´s operations and transactions in the municipalities of São Mateus and Conceição da Barra, both located in the state of Espírito Santo. A preliminary injunction was granted by the Lower Judged to block our real state titles and assets located in the cities of São Mateus and Conceição da Barra and suspend any financing provided by BNDES for Company´s production or planting of eucalyptus pulp on the areas involved in such public civil claim.

In October 2021, the Federal Judge declared the nullity of disputed land titles and determined the return of these areas and respective properties rights to the State’s title. We have filed the appropriate appeals against the terms of such decisions before the Federal Court of Appeals, which are still pending judgment. Last year the Federal Prosecutor requested the provisory accomplishment of the appealed decision which was denied by the Lower Federal Judge ordering the remittance of the case to Supreme Court of Appeals (STF) due to alleged conflict of jurisdiction.
Since October 2006 until now, the Brazilian Institute for Land Reform – INCRA, published a public notice informing that the reports issued by commissions created by INCRA concluded that lands located in the northern state of Espírito Santo and the southern state of Bahia would have signs of traditionality that could lead to a possible titling of lands in favor of certain “Quilombola’s communities”. Part of such could correspond to areas (lands) we own. There are Administrative Proceedings led by INCRA, that are still pending some procedural steps that could be contradicted by us, to identify and delimit areas and traditional territory. There is only one Administrative Proceedings concluded to date according to a Technical Report for Identification and Delimitation (RTID) prepared by INCRA. Such RTID indicates the delimitation in favor of the Community of Linharinho. As it was identified several irregularities in the mentioned RTID, Suzano filed an annulment action to nullify the administrative proceeding and the RTID. The Federal Court of Appeals ordered the suspension of Linharinho’s case.
Dividends
General
The Brazilian Corporation Law and our bylaws require that we distribute annually to our shareholders a mandatory minimum dividend, which we refer to as the mandatory dividend, equal to at least 25% of our net income after taxes, after certain deductions, including accumulated losses and any amounts allocated to employee and management participation, any amount allocated to our legal reserve, and any amount allocated to the contingency reserve and any amount written off in respect of the contingency reserve accumulated in previous fiscal years, in each case in accordance with Brazilian law.
In accordance with article 26 of our bylaws, the minimum mandatory dividend corresponds to the lower of: (i) 25% of the adjusted annual net profits, adjusted according with the Brazilian Corporate Law, and (ii) 10% of the Operating Cash Flow Generation in the relevant fiscal year. The Operating Cash Flow Generation (GCO) is calculated using the following formula: GCO = Adjusted EBITDA – Maintenance Capex, where “GCO” means the consolidated Generation of Operational Cash of the Fiscal Year, expressed in national currency, “EBITDA” means our net profit of the fiscal year expressed in national currency, before the income tax and social contribution on net income, financial income and expenses, depreciation, amortization and depletion. “Adjusted EBITDA” means the EBITDA excluding items not recurrent and/or not cash and gains (losses) arising from changes in fair value of sale of the biological assets.
Dividends must be distributed within 60 days from the date of its declaration, unless a shareholders’ resolution determines another date, not later than the end of the fiscal year in which such dividend was declared. The Brazilian Corporation Law permits, however, a company to suspend the mandatory distribution of dividends if its board of directors reports to the shareholders’ meeting that the distribution would be incompatible with the financial condition of the company, subject to approval by the shareholders’ meeting and review by the fiscal council. Net income not distributed due to the suspension mentioned here must be attributed to a special reserve and, if not absorbed by subsequent losses, must be paid as dividends as soon as the financial situation of the company permits.
The amounts available for distribution are determined on the basis of financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Brazilian Corporation Law. In addition, amounts arising from tax incentive benefits or rebates are appropriated to a separate capital reserve in accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law. This investment incentive reserve is not normally available for distribution, although it can be used to absorb losses under certain circumstances or be capitalized. Amounts appropriated to this reserve are not available for distribution as dividends.
95
Table of Contents
The Brazilian Corporation Law permits a company to pay interim dividends out of preexisting and accumulated profits for the preceding fiscal year or semester, based on financial statements approved by its shareholders. We may prepare financial statements semiannually or for shorter periods. Our board of directors may declare a distribution of dividends based on the profits reported in semiannual financial statements. Our board of directors may also declare a distribution of interim dividends based on profits previously accumulated or in profits reserve, which are reported in such financial statements or in the last annual financial statement approved by resolution taken at a shareholders’ meeting.
In general, shareholders who are not Brazilian residents must register their equity investment with the Central Bank of Brazil to have dividends, sales proceeds or other amounts with respect to their shares eligible to be remitted outside of Brazil. The common shares underlying the ADSs are held in Brazil by Banco Itaú S.A., also known as the custodian, as agent for the depositary, which is the registered owner on the records of the registrar for our shares.
Payments of cash dividends and distributions, if any, are made in
reais
to the custodian on behalf of the depositary, which then converts such proceeds into U.S. Dollars and causes such U.S. Dollars to be delivered to the depositary for distribution to holders of ADSs. In the event that the custodian is unable to convert immediately the foreign currency received as dividends into U.S. Dollars, the amount of U.S. Dollars payable to holders of ADSs may be adversely affected by devaluations of the Brazilian currency that occur before the dividends are converted. Under the Brazilian Corporation Law, dividends paid to persons who are not Brazilian residents, including holders of ADSs, will not be subject to Brazilian withholding tax.
Payment of dividends
On December 10, 2025, our Board of Directors approved the distribution of interim dividends in the total amount of R$1,380 million at the rate of R$1.11658725 per share, with payment made on February 4, 2026. The dividends were calculated based on the quarterly financial statements as of September 30, 2025, and will be credited toward the mandatory minimum dividend for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The management also proposes that the additional amount of R$5.6 million declared at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be geld on Abril 23, 2026, as additional dividends, to be paid by December 31, 2026, in Brazilian currency, based on the Company’s shareholding position at the close of trading on B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, on April 29, 2026, with no monetary adjustment or indexation. The Company’s issued shares will be traded ex‑dividends as of April 30, 2026, inclusive.
In the year ended December 31, 2024, no dividends were distributed, due to the loss reported in the year. On December 4, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the distribution of interest on equity in the total gross amount of R$2,500.0 million at the rate of R$2.017362506 per share, considering the number of shares “ex-treasury” as of the current date, as remuneration based on net income shown in our quarterly balance sheet dated September 30, 2024. Interest on own capital was subject to a withholding income tax of 15%, except for shareholders who are proven to be exempt, in accordance with legislation in force. Income tax was withheld and paid in December 16, 2024.
For the year 2023, on December 1, 2023, our Board of Directors approved the distribution of interest on equity in the total gross amount of R$1,500.0 million at the rate of R$1.163375077 per share, considering the number of "ex-treasury" shares at the date of the distribution, as remuneration based on the profit shown in the balance sheet dated September 30, 2023. Interest on own capital was subject to a withholding income tax of 15%, except for shareholders who are proven to be exempt, in accordance with legislation in force. Income tax in the amount of R$190.1 million was withheld and paid in December 2023. The interest on own capital declared was attributed to the minimum mandatory dividend for the 2023, in accordance with the approval at the Annual General Meeting held in April 25, 2024 and with statutory and legal provisions. Payment of such proceeds was made in January 2024.
In accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law and our bylaws, our shareholders approved that there would be no distribution of dividends for the fiscal year of 2020, given that there was no net profit for such year.

ITEM 9. THE OFFER AND LISTING
A.
Offer and Listing Details
Our ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “SUZ.” Our common shares trade on the São Paulo Stock Exchange under the symbol “SUZB3.” On December 31, 2025, we had approximately 79,590 shareholders of record at the B3.

Markets
Trading on the São Paulo Stock Exchange
Settlement of transactions conducted on the B3 becomes effective two business days after the trade date. Delivery of, and payment for, shares is made through the facilities of separate clearinghouses for each exchange, which maintain accounts for member brokerage firms. The seller is ordinarily required to deliver the shares to the clearinghouse on the second business day following the trade date. The clearinghouse for the B3 is
Companhia Brasileira de Liquidação e Custódia
, or CBLC.
In order to better control volatility, the B3 has adopted a “circuit breaker” system pursuant to which trading sessions may be suspended for a period of 30 minutes or one hour whenever the indices of these stock exchanges fall below the limits of 10% and 15%, respectively, in relation to the index registered in the previous trading session.
The B3 is less liquid than the New York Stock Exchange or other major exchanges in the world. At December 31, 2025, the aggregate market capitalization of the 79 companies listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange Index (Ibovespa) was equivalent to approximately USD700 billion. Although any of the outstanding shares of a listed company may trade on a Brazilian stock exchange, in most cases fewer than half of the listed shares are actually available for trading by the public, the remainder being held by small groups of controlling persons, governmental entities or one principal shareholder.
Trading on the B3 by non-residents of Brazil is subject to certain limitations under Brazilian foreign investment and tax legislation. See “Item 10.D — Exchange Controls.” and “Item 10.E — Taxation”.
B3 Corporate Governance Standards
The B3 has three listing segments:
•
Level 1;
•
Level 2; and
•
Novo Mercado
97
Table of Contents
These listing segments have been designed for the trading of shares issued by companies that voluntarily undertake to abide by corporate governance practices and disclosure requirements in addition to those already required under the Brazilian Corporation Law. The inclusion of a company in any of these listing segments requires adherence to a series of corporate governance rules. These rules are designed to increase shareholders’ rights and enhance the quality of information provided by Brazilian corporations.
In 2004, we listed our shares on the Level 1 segment of the BM&FBOVESPA (former name of the B3), thus guaranteeing transparency in our operations and accountability to our shareholders. In September 2017, we approved the admission of our shares for trading on the listing segment called
Novo Mercado
of B3, followed by the conversion of the preferred shares issued by us into common shares at the ratio of one preferred share, class “A” or class “B”, for one common share. In addition, we also approved the restatement of our bylaws to adapt them to
Novo Mercado
listing rules and a change of our methodology to calculate mandatory dividends, also reflecting best corporate governance practices. We concluded the migration to Novo Mercado segment of B3 in November 2017.
As a result, in addition to the disclosure obligations imposed by the Brazilian Corporation Law and the CVM, we also must comply with the following additional disclosure requirements set forth by the

Memorandum and Articles of Association
Our bylaws, approved by our shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting held on September 30, 2024, are filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this annual report. This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Bylaws, the Brazilian corporation law and the rules and regulations of the CVM and the
Novo Mercado

Voting Rights
Each common share entitles its holder to one vote at the matters of the shareholders’ meetings, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law, our bylaws and the
Novo Mercado
listing rules.
Shareholders’ Meetings
According to Brazilian Corporation Law, shareholders must be previously notified through a notice published three times in Brazilian official gazettes in order for an annual or extraordinary shareholders’ meeting to be held. The notification must occur at least 21 days prior to the meeting scheduled date, pursuant to Brazilian Corporation Law. If the meeting so noticed is not held for any reason on first notice, a second notification must be published at least eight days before the second meeting date.
On the first notice, meetings may be held only if shareholders holding at least one-fourth of voting shares are represented. Extraordinary meetings for the amendment of the bylaws may be held on the first notice only if shareholders holding at least two thirds of the voting capital are represented. On a second call, the meetings are held regardless of quorum.
Pursuant to our bylaws and Brazilian Corporation Law, shareholders at our annual shareholders’ meeting, which is required to be held within the first four months following the end of the fiscal year, will convene to: (i) take the management accounts; examine, discuss and vote on the financial statements; (ii) decide on the uses to which the net income of the fiscal year should be put and on the distribution of dividends; and (iii) elect the members of the Fiscal Council, if established, and, when applicable, the members of the board of directors.
An Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting shall be convened whenever our interests so require, and to resolve on following matters pursuant to the Brazilian Corporation Law: (i) amend our bylaws; (ii) elect or dismiss members of the board of directors
(Conselho de Administração
), at any time; (iii) install our fiscal council and elect and dismiss its members, if such body was not installed in the annual shareholders’ meeting; (iv) authorize the issuance of debentures; (v) suspend the rights of a shareholder in the event such shareholder does not comply with obligations imposed by law or our bylaws; (vi) accept or reject the valuation of assets contributed by a shareholder in consideration for issuance of capital stock; ; (vii) pass resolutions to reorganize our legal form, to merge, consolidate or split us, to dissolve and liquidate us, to elect and dismiss our liquidators and to examine their accounts; and; (viii) waiver of the requirement to hold a public offering for the acquisition of shares as a condition for delisting from Novo Mercado; (ix) authorize management to declare us insolvent and to request a judicial recovery (
recuperação judicial
, a procedure involving protection from creditors available under Brazilian law); (x) resolve on the execution of transactions with related parties or the sale or the contribution, to another company, if the transaction value represents more than 50% of our total assets, according to the previous financial statement approved by the shareholders; (vi) any matter submitted by the board of directors.
In accordance with our bylaws, a shareholders’ meeting must be convened with a minimum notice period of 60 days if the agenda includes (i) the cancellation of our registration as a publicly held company, or (ii) any amendment or removal of Article 30, which pertains to the tender offer in case of acquisition of relevant interest.
Dividends
The Brazilian Corporation Law and our bylaws require that we distribute annually to our shareholders a mandatory minimum dividend, which we refer to as the mandatory dividend, after certain deductions, including accumulated losses and any amounts allocated to employee and management participation, any amount allocated to our legal reserve, and any amount allocated to the contingency reserve and any amount written off in respect of the contingency reserve accumulated in previous fiscal years, in each case in accordance with Brazilian law.
101
Table of Contents
In accordance with article 26 of our bylaws, the minimum mandatory dividend corresponds to the lower of: (i) 25% of the adjusted net profits, and (ii) 10% of the Operating Cash Flow Generation in the relevant fiscal year. The Operating Cash Flow Generation (GCO) is calculated using the following formula: GCO = Adjusted EBITDA – Maintenance Capex, where “EBITDA” means our net profit of the fiscal year expressed in national currency, before the income tax and social contribution on net income, financial income and expenses, depreciation, amortization and depletion. “Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA excluding items not recurrent and/or not cash and gains (losses) arising from changes in fair value of sale of the biological assets. “Maintenance Capex” means the amount, expressed in national currency, of the investments in maintenance executed in the fiscal year.
Acquisition of a Relevant Interest
Any person, including, without limitation, any natural or legal person, investment fund, condominium, securities portfolio, universality of rights, or other form of organization, resident, domiciled or headquartered in Brazil or abroad solely or jointly with another bound person(s) (person or group of persons bound by a voting agreement or similar agreement, or acting jointly representing the same interests), our shareholder(s) or not, which subscribes, acquires or, in any other form, including, without limitation, by means of exchange, conversion, corporate reorganization (including, but not limiting to a merger and/or a merger of shares), or even upon acquisition of preemptive rights and/or subscription of shares or other securities issued by us convertible into shares or which give the right to its subscription or purchase of our shares, becomes holder, directly or indirectly, in Brazil or offshore, of any percentage equal to or greater than 20% of the total shares issued by us shall, within the maximum term of 30 days counting from the date of the event which results in the ownership of the relevant interest, launch or, in the case of a registered tender offer in the terms of CVM Resolution 85/22, file a registry request before CVM of, a tender offer for the acquisition of the totality of the shares issued by us, which shall be liquidated in the maximum term of (a) 48 days counting from the launch of the offer not subject to registration, and (b) 180 days counting from the date of registry filing, in the case of an offer subject to registration, in the terms of the law and applicable legislation, except for certain delays which do not arise from any act or omission of the offeror.
Disclosure of Significant Interest
CVM rules provides that all shareholders or groups of shareholders will be required to disclose, through notice to us and to the stock exchanges on which our securities are traded, the negotiation of securities that results in the shareholder surpassing or decreasing the thresholds of 5%, 10%, 15%, and so on, of participation in a certain class or type of share representative of a company’s capital stock.
Pursuant to our bylaws, any person who holds Outstanding Shares in an amount greater than five percent (5%) of the total shares issued by us, and that wishes to carry out a new acquisition of shares issued by us (“New Acquisition”), shall be obliged, prior to each New Acquisition, to communicate in writing to our Investor Relations Officer, at least three (3) business days prior to the date of the New Acquisition: (i) the number of Outstanding Shares that it intends to acquire; (ii) the intention to acquire; (iii) if it has an interest to appoint a member to the board of directors or to the Audit Committee; (iv) the source of the resources that will be used for such acquisition; and (v) the strategic plans related to investment in us. By “Outstanding Shares” we mean all shares issued by us, except those (i) owned, directly or indirectly, by the controlling shareholder or persons related thereto; (ii) in our treasury; (iii) held by a company controlled by us; and (iv) directly or indirectly held by our directors, officer or other members of our management.
In the event that the person does not comply with such obligations, the provisions regarding the tender offer for the acquisition of the totality of the shares shall be observed.
Sale of Control
In the event of a direct or indirect sale of our shareholding control, through a single or series of transactions, the acquirer must conduct a public tender offer for all shares held by the remaining shareholders in order to ensure equal treatment of all shareholders (tag-along right). The tender offer is subject to applicable laws and regulations, our bylaws and the Novo Mercado lisitng rules.

Delisting from the Novo Mercado
According to the
Novo Mercado
listing rules the withdrawal from the Novo Mercado may be: (i) voluntary; or (ii) mandatory, as a result of the violation of any the rules of the Novo Mercado or the deregistration as publicly-held company.
The withdrawal, however, shall only occur after the launching of a public tender offer for our outstanding shares, which shall (i) follow, as applicable, the CVM regulation that rules that the mandatory tender offer for the deregistration as publicly held company (including the above mentioned possibility to request a second valuation report); and (ii) be launched at a fair price, as appointed in the appraisal report issued by a specialized institution with proven experience for the purposes of the tender offer; and (iii) be approved by at least one third (1/3) of the shareholders representing the free float that participate in the tender offer auction (whether by selling its shares or expressly agreeing with the withdrawal from the Novo Mercado).
The obligation to launch such public tender offer, however, may be waived by the majority of the shareholders representing our free float present at the shareholders’ meeting convened to resolve on that matter. Such shareholders’ meeting may be held on first call with the attendance of shareholders representing two thirds (2/3) of the free float or, on second call, with the attendance of any number of shareholders representing the free float.
The withdrawal from the Novo Mercado does not necessarily result in our deregistration as a publicly-held company on the B3. If we participate in a corporate reorganization involving the transfer of our shareholders’ base to a company that is not listed in the Novo Mercado, such resulting company or companies must apply for listing on Novo Mercado within 120 days from the date of the general shareholders meeting that approved the reorganization, unless the majority of the shareholders representing our free float present at such shareholders’ meeting agrees with the non-listing of the resulting company.
Pursuant to the new rules of the Novo Mercado, the voluntary withdrawal shall be preceded by a public tender offer at fair market value. For the withdrawal to move forward, shareholders representing more than one third (1/3) of the outstanding shares shall need to accept the tender offer or expressly agree to delist without selling the shares.
According to the rules of the Novo Mercado, in the event of a transfer of our shareholding control within 12 months following our delisting from the Novo Mercado, the selling controlling shareholder(s) and the acquirer must offer to acquire the remaining shares for the same price and terms offered to the selling controlling shareholders, duly updated, or pay the difference, if any, between the tender offer price accepted by the former shareholders, duly updated, and the price obtained by the controlling shareholder in selling its shares.
Delisting as Publicly-Held Company
Our delisting as publicly-held company shall be conditioned to: (i) the launching of a public tender offer for the acquisition of all of our outstanding shares in accordance with the provisions of Brazilian Corporation Law, the CVM rules and regulations, by us, our controlling shareholders or a group of controlling shareholders and (ii) the acceptance of at least two thirds (2/3) of the shareholders representing the free float that show up at the tender offer auction (whether by selling its shares or expressly agreeing with the delisting), in which case we would become a privately-held company. The price offered for such outstanding shares must at least correspond to the fair value of such shares as set forth in the respective appraisal report issued by a specialized institution with proven experience hired by the offeror for the purposes of the tender offer.
Shareholders holding at least ten percent of the free float of our shares may require our management to call a special shareholders’ meeting to determine whether to perform another valuation using the same or a different valuation method. This request must be made within 15 days following the disclosure of the price to be paid for the shares in the public tender offer. If the new valuation price is equal to or lower than the original valuation price, the shareholders making such request as well as those who vote in its favor must reimburse us for any costs incurred in preparing the new appraisal report. If the new valuation price is higher than the original valuation price, the offeror shall then decide whether to proceed with the public tender offer observing the new price or withdraw the tender offer, in which case we will continue to be registered as a publicly-held company.

Preemptive Rights
Each of our shareholders has a general preemptive right to subscribe for shares or convertible securities in any capital increase, in proportion to its shareholding, except (i) in case of sale on a stock exchange or by public subscription, (ii) pursuant to an exchange for shares in a public offer for the acquisition of control, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law, (iii) for subscription of shares in accordance with the special law for tax incentives, (iv) conversion of debentures and other securities into shares, since, in these cases, the preemptive right must be exercised when the security is issued, (v) in the event of the grant and exercise of any stock option to acquire or subscribe for shares of our capital stock; and (vi) in the context of a capital increase derived from merger, merger of shares and/or spin-off implemented according to Brazilian Corporation Law. A minimum period of 30 days following the publication of notice of the issuance of shares or convertible securities is allowed for exercise of the right, and the right is negotiable. However, according to our bylaws, our board of Directors can eliminate this preemptive right or reduce the 30-day period in case we issue debentures that are convertible into shares, warrants (
bônus de subscrição
) or shares within the limits authorized by the bylaws and the Brazilian Corporate Law: (i) through a stock exchange or through a public offering or (ii) through an exchange of shares in a public offering to acquire control of another publicly-held company.
You may not be able to exercise the preemptive rights relating to the common shares underlying your ADSs unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to the shares to which the rights relate or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available and our ADS depositary determines to make the rights available to you. See “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors —Holders of ADSs may be unable to exercise the preemptive rights relating to our shares underlying the ADSs.”
Right of Withdrawal
The Brazilian Corporation Law provides that, under certain circumstances, a shareholder has the right to withdraw its equity interest from the company and to receive payment for the portion of shareholders’ equity attributable to its equity interest. Withdrawal rights may be exercised by dissenting or non-voting shareholders, if a vote of at least 50% of voting shares authorizes us:
•
to establish new shares or to disproportionately increase an existing class of preferred shares relative to the other classes of shares, unless such action is provided for or authorized by the bylaws;
•
to modify a preference, privilege or condition of redemption or amortization conferred on one or more classes of preferred shares, or to create a new class with greater privileges than the existing classes of preferred shares;
•
to reduce the mandatory distribution of dividends;
•
to merge with another company (including if we are merged into one of our controlling companies) or to consolidate, except as described in the fourth paragraph following this list;
•
to approve our participation in a centralized group of companies, as defined under the Brazilian Corporation Law, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, except as described in the fourth paragraph following this list;
•
to change our corporate purpose;
•
to terminate a state of liquidation of the corporation;
•
to dissolve the corporation;
•
to transfer all of our shares to another company or in order to make us a wholly owned subsidiary of such company, known as a merger of shares
(incorporação de ações
), except as described in the fourth paragraph following this list;
•
to approve the acquisition of control of another company at a price which exceeds certain limits set forth in the Brazilian Corporation Law, except as described in the fourth paragraph following this list; or
104
Table of Contents
•
to conduct a spin-off that results in (a) a change of our corporate purposes, except if the assets and liabilities of the spin-off company are contributed to a company that is engaged in substantially the same activities, (b) a reduction in the mandatory dividend or (c) any participation in a centralized group of companies, as defined under the Brazilian Corporation Law.
In addition, in the event that the entity resulting from
incorporação de ações,
or a merger of shares, a consolidation or a spin-off of a listed company fails to become a listed company within 120 days of the shareholders’ meeting at which such decision was taken, the dissenting or non-voting shareholders may also exercise their withdrawal rights.
Only holders of shares adversely affected by the changes mentioned in the first and second items above may withdraw their shares. The right of withdrawal lapses 30 days after publication of the minutes of the relevant shareholders’ meeting. In the first two cases mentioned above, however, the resolution is subject to confirmation by the preferred shareholders, which must be obtained at a special meeting held within one year. In those cases, the 30-day term is counted from the date the minutes of the special meeting are published. We would be entitled to reconsider any action giving rise to withdrawal rights within ten days following the expiration of such rights if the withdrawal of shares of dissenting shareholders would jeopardize our financial stability.
The Brazilian Corporation Law allows companies to redeem their shares at their economic value, subject to certain requirements. Since our bylaws currently do not provide that our shares be subject to withdrawal at their economic value, our shares would be subject to withdrawal at their book value, determined on the basis of the last balance sheet approved by the shareholders. If the shareholders’ meeting giving rise to withdrawal rights occurs more than 60 days after the date of the last approved balance sheet, a shareholder may demand that its shares be valued on the basis of a new balance sheet that is of a date within 60 days of such shareholders’ meeting.
Pursuant to the Brazilian Corporation Law, in events of consolidation, merger,
incorporação de ações
, participation in a group of companies, and acquisition of control of another company, the right to withdraw does not apply if the shares meet certain tests relating to liquidity and dispersal of the type or class of shares on the market. In such cases, shareholders will not be entitled to withdraw their shares if the shares are a component of a general securities index in Brazil or abroad admitted to trading on the securities markets, as defined by the CVM, and the shares held by persons unaffiliated with the controlling shareholder represent more than half of the outstanding shares of the relevant type or class.
Arbitration
We, our shareholders, managers and members of the Audit Committee, whether sitting or alternate members, if any, undertake to resolve, through arbitration, before the Market Arbitration Chamber (
Câmara de Arbitragem do Mercado
), pursuant to its regulations, any controversies that may arise between them, relating to or arising from their respective condition as an issuer, shareholder, administrator and/or member of the Audit Committee, in particular, of the provisions contained in Law No. 6,385/76, the Brazilian Corporations Law, our bylaws, in the rules issued by the National Monetary Council, by the Central Bank of Brazil and by the Brazilian Securities and Exchanges Commission (
CVM
), as well as in the other rules applicable to the operation of the capital markets in general, in addition to those contained in the
Novo Mercado
listing rules, the other regulations of B3 and the Novo Mercado Listing Agreement.

Exchange Controls
There are no restrictions on ownership of our common shares by individuals or legal entities domiciled outside Brazil. However, the right to convert dividend payments and proceeds from the sale of common shares into foreign currency and to remit such amounts outside Brazil is subject to exchange control restrictions and foreign investment legislation, which generally require, among other things, obtaining an electronic registration with the Central Bank of Brazil. Under Joint Resolution No. 13/2024, foreign investors may invest in almost all financial assets and engage in almost all transactions available in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, provided that some requirements are fulfilled.
Investors qualifying under Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 that are not resident in low-tax jurisdiction and are not subject to a privileged tax regime are entitled to favorable tax treatment. See “Item 10.E - Taxation—Material Brazilian Tax Considerations.”
An electronic registration, which replaced the amended Certificate of Registration, was issued in the name of the depositary with respect to the ADSs and is maintained by our custodian on behalf of the depositary. This electronic registration was carried on through the SISBACEN. Pursuant to the electronic registration, the custodian and the depositary are able to convert dividends and other distributions with respect to the common shares represented by the ADSs into foreign currency and remit the proceeds outside Brazil. In the event that a holder of ADSs exchanges the ADSs for common shares, the holder will be entitled to continue to rely on the depositary’s electronic registration for only five business days after the exchange. Thereafter, a holder must seek to obtain its own electronic registration. Unless the common shares are held pursuant to Resolution No. 13/2024 by a duly registered investor or a holder of common shares, who applies for and obtains a new electronic registration, that holder may not be able to obtain and remit abroad U.S. Dollars or other foreign currencies upon the disposition of the common shares, or distributions with respect thereto. In addition, if the foreign investor resides in a no favorable tax regime country or is not an investor registered pursuant to Resolution No. 13/2024, the investor will also be subject to less favorable tax treatment.

Taxation
Brazilian Tax Considerations
The following discussion contains a description of the material Brazilian income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares or ADSs by a holder which is non-resident or not domiciled in Brazil for Brazilian tax purposes (Non-Brazilian Holder). It does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all Brazilian tax considerations that may be applicable to any particular Non-Brazilian Holder.
This summary is based upon tax laws of Brazil and administrative and judicial decisions as in effect on the date of this annual report, which are subject to changes (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations. You should consult your own tax advisors as to the Brazilian tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and sale of our common shares or ADSs.
Although there is no treaty for the avoidance of double taxation between Brazil and the United States, the tax authorities of the two countries have been having discussions that may culminate in such a treaty. No assurance can be given, however, as to whether or when a treaty will enter into force or how it will affect the U.S. holders of our common shares or ADSs.
For purposes of Brazilian taxation, there are two types of Non-Brazilian Holders of common shares or ADSs: (a) Non-Brazilian Holders registered before the Central Bank of Brazil and the CVM to invest in Brazil in accordance with Joint Resolution No. 13/2024; and (b) other Non-Brazilian Holders, which include Non-Brazilian Holders who invest in Brazilian companies under Law 14.286/2021 and BCB Resolution No. 277 (“foreign direct investment”). As a general rule, Holders that qualify under Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 are subject to a favorable tax regime in Brazil, as described below.
106
Table of Contents
Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 permits foreign investors, defined to include individuals, legal entities, mutual funds and other collective investment entities, domiciled or headquartered abroad to invest in almost all financial assets and to engage in almost all transactions available in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, provided that certain legal and regulatory requirements are fulfilled.
Taxation of Gains
Gains realized on the disposal of common shares are subject to income tax in Brazil, regardless of whether the sale or the disposal is made by a Non-Brazilian Holder to a resident or person domiciled in Brazil. This is due to the fact that the common shares can be considered assets located in Brazil for purposes of Law No. 10,833/2003.
According to our interpretation of the applicable law, capital gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder on the disposal of common shares sold on a Brazilian stock exchange (which includes a transaction carried out on the organized over-the-counter market) are:
•
exempt from income tax when realized by a Non-Resident Holder that (i) is a qualified Holder under Joint Resolution No. 13/2024, and (ii) is not resident or domiciled in a country or location which is defined as a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as described below);
•
arguably subject to income tax at a 15% rate in the case of gains realized by (A) a Non-Brazilian Holder that (1) is not a qualified Holder under Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 and (2) is not resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction; or by (B) a Non-Brazilian Holder that (1) is a qualified Holder under Joint Resolution No 13/2024 and (2) is resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction; and
•
subject to income tax at a rate of up to 25% in the case of gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder that is not a qualified Holder under Joint Resolution No 13/2024, and is resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction.
Any other gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder on a sale or disposal of the shares that is not carried out on a Brazilian stock exchange are:
•
subject to income tax at the rate of 15% when realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder that (i) is a qualified Holder under Joint Resolution No 13/2024 and (ii) is not resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below), although different interpretations may be raised to sustain the application of the progressive rates set forth by Law No. 13,259/2016;
•
subject to income tax at progressive rates ranging from 15% to 22.5% (15.0% for the part of the gain that does not exceed R$5.0 million, 17.5% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$5.0 million but does not exceed R$10.0 million, 20.0% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$10.0 million but does not exceed R$30.0 million and 22.5% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$30.0 million) in case of gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder that (1) is not a qualified Holder under Joint Resolution No 13/2024 and (2) is not resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below); and
•
subject to income tax at a 25% rate in case of gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder that is resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below).
If these gains are related to transactions conducted on the Brazilian non-organized over-the-counter market with intermediation, withholding income tax of 0.005% on the sale value will also apply and can be used to offset the income tax due on the capital gain.
In the case of a redemption of securities or a capital reduction by a Brazilian corporation, such as ourselves, the positive difference between the amount effectively received by the Non-Resident Holder and the proportional acquisition cost of the common shares redeemed is treated, for tax purposes, as capital gains derived from the sale or exchange of common shares not carried out on a Brazilian stock exchange, and is subject to the same tax treatment above described.
107
Table of Contents
The exercise of preemptive rights relating to our common shares will not be subject to Brazilian taxation. Any gains realized by a Non-Resident Holder on the sale or disposal or assignment of preemptive rights relating to our common shares will be subject to Brazilian income tax according to the same rules applicable to the sale or disposal of common shares (see above). Tax authorities may attempt to tax such gains even when sale or assignment of such rights takes place outside Brazil, based on the provisions of Law No. 10,833/03.
There is no assurance that the current preferential treatment for Non-Brazilian Holders of common shares under under Joint Resolution No 13/2024 will continue in the future or that it will not be changed in the future. Reductions in the rate of tax provided for by Brazil’s tax treaties generally do not apply to the tax on gains realized on sales or exchange of common shares.
Sale of ADSs by non-Brazilian holder to another non-Brazilian holder
Gains realized outside Brazil by a Non-Brazilian Holder on the disposal of ADSs should not be subject to Brazilian tax. As mentioned above, according to Law No. 10,833/2003 of December 2003, the disposal of assets located in Brazil by a Non-Brazilian Holder, whether to other Non-Brazilian Holder or Brazilian holders, may become subject to taxation in Brazil. Although we believe that the ADSs do not fall within the definition of assets located in Brazil for the purposes of Law no. 10,833, considering the general and unclear scope of it and the lack of definitive judicial court ruling to act as the leading case in respect thereto, we are unable to predict whether such understanding will ultimately prevail in the courts of Brazil.
In case the ADSs are considered assets located in Brazil, gains on disposal of ADSs by a Non-Brazilian Holder to a resident in Brazil or even to a Non-Brazilian resident may be subject to income tax in Brazil according to the rules described below for ADSs or the tax rules applicable to common shares, as applicable.
Exchange of ADSs for common shares
Although there is no clear regulatory guidance, the withdrawal of ADSs in exchange for common shares is not subject to Brazilian income tax to the extent that, as described above, ADSs do not fall within the definition of assets located in Brazil for the purposes of Law No. 10,833/2003.
Upon receipt of the underlying common shares in exchange for ADSs, Non-Brazilian Holders may also elect to register with the Central Bank the U.S. dollar amount of such preferred shares or common shares as a foreign portfolio investment under Joint Resolution No 13/2024 or as a foreign direct investment under BCB Resolution No. 277.
Exchange of common shares for ADSs
Regarding the deposit of common shares in exchange for ADSs, the difference between the acquisition cost of the common shares and the market price of the common shares may be subject to Brazilian income tax at progressive rates that may vary from 15.0% to 22.5% (15.0% for the part of the gain that does not exceed R$5.0 million, 17.5% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$5.0 million but does not exceed R$10.0 million, 20.0% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$10.0 million but does not exceed R$30.0 million and 22.5% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$30.0 million), except for Non-Brazilian Holders located in a Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction, which, in this case, would be subject to income tax at a flat rate of 25.0%. In some circumstances, there may be arguments to claim that this taxation is not applicable in the case of a Non-Brazilian Holder that is a qualified Holder under Joint Resolution No 13/2024 and is not a resident of or domiciled in a Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction.

Starting January 1, 2026, upon the enactment of Law 15,270/2025, dividends and profits distributed to individuals residing in Brazil will be subject to a 10% withholding tax, applied exclusively to the portion exceeding R$50,000 per month, per distributing co
mpany. Dividends and profits distributed to legal entities residing in Brazil are still tax exempt, provided that the profits are generated after January 1, 1996. Dividends relating to profits generated prior to January 1, 1996 may be subject to Brazilian withholding income tax at varying rates, depending on the year the profits were generated.

Table of Contents
In addition, a 10% withholding income tax will apply to dividends paid to beneficiaries abroad, regardless of the amount distributed. A tax credit will be available to foreign shareholders if the adjusted effective tax rate (ETR) of the distributing Brazilian legal entity exceeds the applicable nominal corporate income tax rate (generally 34%). Such tax credit may be claimed by foreign shareholders within 360 days from the end of the relevant fiscal year.
Interest Attributed to Shareholders’ Equity
According to Brazilian laws and our bylaws, we may opt to pay income as interest attributed to shareholders’ equity as an alternative to the payment of dividends.
Payment of an interest on equity charge attributed to shareholders’ equity regarding common shares or ADSs as an alternative form of payment to shareholders, including non-Brazilian holders of common shares or ADSs, is subject to Brazilian withholding income tax at the rate of 15% or 25%, in case of a Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction holder.
Such payments, subject to certain limitations and requirements, are deductible for Brazilian income tax purposes. This interest is limited to the daily pro rata variation of the federal government’s long-term interest rate, as determined by the Central Bank from time to time, and cannot exceed the greater of:
(a)
50% of net income (after the social contribution on net profits and before the provision for corporate income tax, and the amounts attributable to shareholders as interest on net equity) for the period with respect to which the payment is made; or
(b)
50% of the sum of retained earnings and earnings reserves as of the date of the beginning of the period with respect to which the payment is made.
Tax treaties signed by Brazil may exceptionally reduce the withholding income tax on the interest attributed to shareholders’ equity.
Tax on foreign exchange transactions (IOF/Exchange)
Pursuant to Decree No. 6,306/2007, dated December 14, 2007, as amended, or Decree No. 6,306/2007, the conversion of Brazilian currency into foreign currency (e.g., for purposes of paying dividends and interest) and the conversion of foreign currency into Brazilian curren
cy may be subject to the Tax on Foreign Exchange Transactions or IOF/Exchange. Currently, for most exchange transactions related to the inflow of foreign currency into Brazil, the rate of IOF/Exchange generally applies at a 0.38% rate. Conversely, for most exchange transactions related to the outflow of foreign currency from Brazil, the rate of IOF/Exchange generally applies at a 3.5% rate.
However, exchange transactions carried out for the inflow of funds in Brazil for investments in the Brazilian financial and capital market made by a foreign investor (including a Non-Resident Holder, as applicable) are subject to IOF/Exchange at a 0%. The IOF/Exchange rate will also be 0% for the outflow of funds from Brazil related to these types of investments, including payments of dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity and the repatriation of funds invested in the Brazilian market.
The Brazilian government may increase the rate of the IOF/Exchange to a maximum of 25.0% of the amount of the foreign exchange transaction at any time, but such an increase would not apply retroactively.
Tax on transactions involving bonds and securities (IOF/Bonds Tax)
The IOF may also be imposed on any transactions involving bonds and securities, including those carried out on Brazilian futures and commodities stock exchanges. As a general rule, the rate of this tax for transactions involving common shares or ADSs is currently zero. The executive branch, also by a Presidential Decree, may increase the IOF rate by up to 1.5% per day, but only with respect to future transactions.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
This summary describes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that are likely to be relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares or ADSs by a U.S. holder (as defined below). This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. In addition, this summary assumes the deposit agreements governing our shares and ADSs, and all other related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms.
This summary is not a comprehensive discussion of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular investor’s decision to purchase, hold, or dispose of our shares or ADSs. In particular, this summary is directed only to U.S. holders (as defined below) that hold our shares or ADSs as capital assets and does not address tax consequences to U.S. holders who may be subject to special tax rules, such as banks, brokers or dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities electing to mark to market, financial institutions, life insurance companies, tax exempt entities, regulated investment entities, entities or arrangements that are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or partners therein), holders that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of our shares, by vote or value, persons holding our shares or ADSs as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or a straddle, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, or U.S. expatriates. Moreover, this summary does not address state, local or non-U.S. taxes, the U.S. federal estate and gift taxes, or the Medicare contribution tax applicable to net investment income of certain non-corporate U.S. holders, or any alternative minimum tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of our shares or ADSs.
As used below, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of our shares or ADSs that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or an entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax without regard to its source, or (iv) a trust if (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust, and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our shares or ADSs, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of our shares or ADSs that is a partnership and partners in that partnership should consult their own tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our shares or ADSs.
You should consult your own tax advisors about the consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our shares or ADSs, including the relevance to your particular situation of the considerations discussed below and any consequences arising under foreign, state, local or other tax laws.
Treatment of our ADSs for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes
In general, a holder of our ADSs will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the beneficial owner of the underlying shares that are represented by those ADSs. Accordingly, except as specifically noted below, the tax consequences discussed below with respect to ADSs will be the same for our shares, and exchanges of our shares for ADSs (or vice versa), generally will not result in the realization of gains or losses for U.S. federal income tax. For purposes of the following summary, any reference to our shares shall be understood to also include reference to the ADSs, unless otherwise noted.

Taxation of Dividends
Subject to the discussion below under “Item 10.E - Taxation—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status”, the gross amount of any distribution of cash or property with respect to our shares or ADSs that is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will generally be includible in your taxable income as ordinary dividend income on the day on which you receive the dividend, in the case of our shares, or the date the depositary receives the dividends, in the case of our ADSs, and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code. If such distribution exceeds the amount of the current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital (and reduction in tax basis) to the extent of your tax basis in the shares on which they are paid, and to the extent it exceeds that basis it will be treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange of the shares. We do not expect to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should expect that distributions generally will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Dividends paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars generally will be includible in your income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day you receive the dividends, in the case of our shares, or the date the depositary receives the dividends, in the case of our ADSs. You will have a tax basis in any distributed Brazilian currency equal to its U.S. dollar amount on the date of receipt, and any gain or loss realized on a subsequent sale, conversion or other disposition of the Brazilian currency generally will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss. If dividends paid in Brazilian currency are converted into U.S. dollars on the date they are received by a U.S. holder or the Depositary or its agent, as the case may be, the U.S. holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the Brazilian currency. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any foreign currency received that is converted into U.S. dollars after it is received.
Dividends received by an individual with respect to our shares or ADSs will be subject to taxation at a preferred rate if the dividends are “qualified dividends.” Subject to certain exceptions for short-term positions, dividends paid on our shares or ADSs will be treated as qualified dividends if:
•
the shares and ADSs on which the dividend is paid are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States; and
•
we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company (a PFIC).
Our ADSs are listed on the NYSE and our ADSs should qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed. As described in more detail under “Item 10.E - Taxation—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” below, based on our audited financial statements and relevant market and shareholder data, we believe that we were not treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2025 and 2024 taxable years and do not expect to be a PFIC in our current taxable year. Given that the determination of PFIC status involves the application of complex tax rules, and that it is based on the nature of our income and assets from time to time, no assurances can be provided that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current (or any past or future) taxable year. Holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in light of their own particular circumstances.
Because our shares are not themselves listed on a U.S. exchange, dividends received with respect to our shares that are not represented by ADSs may not be treated as qualified dividends. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in respect of our shares.
111
Table of Contents
Subject to generally applicable limitations and conditions, Brazilian dividend withholding tax paid at the appropriate rate applicable to the U.S. holder may be eligible for a credit against such U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. These generally applicable limitations and conditions include requirements adopted by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in regulations promulgated in December 2021 and any Brazilian tax generally will need to satisfy these requirements in order to be eligible to be a creditable tax for a U.S. holder. In the case of a U.S. holder that consistently elects to apply a modified version of these rules under temporary guidance and complies with specific requirements set forth in such guidance, the Brazilian tax on dividends will be treated as meeting these requirements and therefore as a creditable tax. In the case of all other U.S. holders, the application of these requirements to the Brazilian tax on dividends is uncertain and we have not determined whether these requirements have been met. If the Brazilian dividend tax is not a creditable tax or the U.S. holder does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for any foreign income taxes paid or accrued in the same taxable year, the U.S. holder may be able to deduct the Brazilian tax in computing such U.S. holder’s taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Dividend distributions will constitute income from sources without the United States and, for U.S. holders that elect to claim foreign tax credits, generally will constitute “passive category income” for foreign tax credit purposes.
The availability and calculation of foreign tax credits and deductions for foreign taxes depend on a U.S. holder’s particular circumstances and involve the application of complex rules to those circumstances. The temporary guidance discussed above also indicates that the Treasury and the IRS are considering proposing amendments to the December 2021 regulations and that the temporary guidance can be relied upon until additional guidance is issued that withdraws or modifies the temporary guidance. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to their particular situations.
U.S. holders that receive distributions of additional shares or rights to subscribe for our shares as part of a pro rata distribution to all our shareholders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of the distributions, unless the U.S. holder has the right to receive cash or property, in which case the U.S. holder will be treated as if it received cash equal to the fair market value of the distribution.
Taxation of Dispositions of our Shares or ADSs
Subject to the discussion below under “Item 10.E - Taxation—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” if a U.S. holder realizes gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our shares or ADSs, that gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares or ADSs have been held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
A U.S. holder generally will not be entitled to credit any Brazilian tax imposed on the sale or other disposition of the shares against such U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, except in the case of a U.S. holder that consistently elects to apply a modified version of the U.S. foreign tax credit rules that is permitted under temporary guidance and complies with the specific requirements set forth in such guidance. Additionally, capital gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of the shares generally will be U.S. source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, even if the withholding tax qualifies as a creditable tax, a U.S. holder may not be able to credit the tax against its U.S. federal income tax liability unless such credit can be applied (subject to generally applicable conditions and limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. If the Brazilian tax is not a creditable tax, the tax would reduce the amount realized on the sale or other disposition of the shares even if the U.S. holder has elected to claim a foreign tax credit for other taxes in the same year. The temporary guidance discussed above also indicates that the Treasury and the IRS are considering proposing amendments to the December 2021 regulations and that the temporary guidance can be relied upon until additional guidance is issued that withdraws or modifies the temporary guidance. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit rules to their investment in, and disposition of, our shares or ADSs.
112
Table of Contents
If a U.S. holder sells or otherwise disposes of our shares or ADSs in exchange for currency other than U.S. dollars, the amount realized generally will be the U.S. dollar value of the currency received at the spot rate on the date of sale or other disposition (or, if the shares or ADSs are traded on an established securities market at such time, in the case of cash basis and electing accrual basis U.S. holders, the settlement date). An accrual basis U.S. holder that does not elect to determine the amount realized using the spot exchange rate in effect on the settlement date will recognize foreign currency gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount received based on the spot exchange rates in effect on the date of the sale or other disposition and the settlement date. A U.S. holder generally will have a tax basis in the currency received equal to the U.S. dollar value of the currency received at the spot rate in effect on the settlement date. Any currency gain or loss realized on the settlement date or the subsequent sale, conversion, or other disposition of the non-U.S. currency received for a different U.S. dollar amount generally will be U.S.-source ordinary income or loss, and will not be eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains. If an accrual basis U.S. holder makes the election described in the first sentence of this paragraph, it must be applied consistently from year to year and cannot be revoked without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisors regarding the treatment of any foreign currency gain or loss realized with respect to any currency received in a sale or other disposition of the shares or ADSs.
Deposits and withdrawals of shares by U.S. holders in exchange for ADSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Status
Special U.S. tax rules apply to investors in companies that are considered to be PFICs. We will be classified as a PFIC in a particular taxable year if, either:
•
75 percent or more of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or
•
the value of our assets (generally determined on the basis of a quarterly average) that produce or are held for the production of passive income is at least 50 percent.
For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, gains from certain commodities transactions, rents, royalties and the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of assets that produce passive income.
We believe, and the following discussion assumes, that we were not a PFIC for our taxable year ending December 31, 2025 and that, based on the present composition of our income and assets and the manner in which we conduct our business, we do not expect to be a PFIC in our current taxable year. However, the determination of whether we are a PFIC is a factual determination made annually, and our status could change depending, among other things, upon changes in the composition of our gross income and the relative quarterly average value of our assets. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will not be a PFIC in the current year or in future years. If we were a PFIC for any taxable year in which you hold our shares or ADSs, you will generally be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including the possible imposition of ordinary income treatment for “excess distributions” (generally, any distributions that a U.S. Holder receives in a taxable year that are greater than 125 percent of the average annual distributions that the U.S. Holder has received in the preceding three taxable years, or the U.S. Holder’s holding period, if shorter), and gain that that the U.S. Holder recognizes on the sale of the holder’s shares. Under these rules (a) the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period, (b) the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income, and (c) the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years will be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit will be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year. If we are deemed to be a PFIC for a taxable year, dividends on our shares would not constitute “qualified dividends” subject to preferential rates of U.S. federal income taxation for non-corporate taxpayers. In addition, if we are deemed to be a PFIC for a taxable year, you would be subject to increased reporting requirements. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor as to our status as a PFIC and the tax consequences to you of such status.

Foreign Financial Asset Reporting
Certain U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of US$50,000 on the last day of the taxable year or US$75,000 at any time during the taxable year are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on IRS Form 8938, with respect to such assets. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts held at a non-U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by a non-U.S. issuer that are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals living abroad and to certain married individuals. Regulations extend this reporting requirement to certain entities that are treated as formed or availed of to hold direct or indirect interests in "specified foreign financial assets” based on objective criteria. The understatement of income attributable to “specified foreign financial assets” in excess of US$5,000 extends the statute of limitations with respect to the tax return to six years after the return was filed. U.S. holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties. Holders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of these rules, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Dividends paid on, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our shares or ADSs to a U.S. holder generally may be subject to the information reporting requirements of the Code and may be subject to backup withholding (currently at the rate of 24%) unless the U.S. holder provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. holder will be allowed as a refund or credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.
A holder that is not a U.S. person (as defined in the Code) may be required to comply with certification and identification procedures in order to establish its exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, correction indexes and prices of commodities that may affect the financial results of Suzano. In order to manage the impacts in the results in adverse scenarios, we have provided procedures for the monitoring of political exposure for the implementation of risk management.
The policies establish the limits and instruments to be implemented with the goal of: (i) protection of cash flow due to currency devaluation, (ii) interest rate exposure mitigation, (iii) reduction in the impacts of commodity price fluctuation and (iv) exchange of debt indexes.
In the process of market risk management, the identification, evaluation and implementation, as well as the contracting of financial instruments for risk protection are performed. The development management area accompanies the fulfillment of the limits established in our policies.
Exchange Rate Risk
As a predominantly exporting company, our results are exposed to exchange variations. As such, fluctuations in the exchange rate, especially with regard to the U.S. dollars, may impact our results.
We issue debt securities in the international markets as an important part of the capital structure that is also exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate. The mitigation of these risks comes from our own exports, which creates a natural hedge. Furthermore, we enter in derivatives transactions in the financial markets, including using strategies with options, as a way to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of our income. The foreign exchange hedging strategy follows our financial policies.
For the net exposure of assets and liabilities in foreign currency see note 4.4.1. of our audited consolidated financial statements, included in this Annual Report.
Sensitivity Analysis – Foreign Exchange Exposure
For purposes of risk analysis, we use scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity that the variations in long and short positions, indexed in foreign currency, may suffer. We take as a base case the values recognized in accounting on December 31, 2025 and, from there onwards, appreciations and depreciation are simulated, between 25% and 50%, of the
real
compared to other foreign currencies. For the sensitivity analysis see notes 4.4.1.1. and 4.4.1.2. of our audited consolidated financial statements, included in this Annual Report.
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to commodity prices reflected primarily in the sale price of pulp in the international market. Increases and decreases in production capacities in the global market, as well as the macroeconomic conditions may impact our operational results.
We cannot guarantee that prices will remain at levels that are beneficial to our results. We may use financial instruments to mitigate the sales price of part of the production, but in certain cases the employment of price protection for pulp may not be available.
We are also exposed to international oil prices, reflected in the logistical costs of transportation and commercialization.
On December 31, 2025, we held a long position in VLSFO (very-low sulfur fuel oil) and Brent Crude Oil in the notional amount of US$361.0 million to hedge its logistics costs.

ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES
The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, has agreed to reimburse us for expenses it incurs that are related to the establishment and maintenance of our ADS program. The depositary has agreed to reimburse us for our continuing and annual stock exchange listing fees. It has also agreed to pay the standard out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADRs, and to reimburse us annually for certain investor relations programs or special promotional activities. In certain instances, the depositary has agreed to provide additional payments to us based on any applicable performance indicators relating to the ADR facility. There are limits on the amount of expenses for which the depositary will reimburse us, but the amount of reimbursement available to us is not necessarily tied to the amount of fees the depositary collects from investors.
The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect is annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
: Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act under Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered in this annual report, has concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was being recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and was accumulated for and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s Statutory Audit Committee, the Company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with and in compliance with the IFRS Accounting Standards.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with and in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our audited consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with our policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, is based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.
Audit of the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting: Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda., has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as stated in their report as of December 31, 2025, which is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda.
(PCAOB ID
1351
) in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements, the reviews of our quarterly financial statements, and the audit of the statutory financial statements of our subsidiaries. Audit fees also include fees for services that can only be reasonably provided by our independent auditors, such as the issuance of consent letters and the review of periodic documents filed with the SEC.
Tax Fees

Audit Related Fees
The all related fees are fees consisting of work related to the external audit performed for specific projects in target companies that were charged by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Neither our board of directors nor our audit committee has established pre-approval policies and procedures for the engagement of our registered public accounting firm for services. Our board of directors expressly approves on a case-by-case basis any engagement of our registered public accounting firm for audit and non-audit services provided to us or our subsidiaries. Any services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda. that are not specifically included within the scope of the audit must be pre-approved by our board of directors in advance of any engagement. It is within the scope of our audit committee to provide recommendations to our board of directors regarding any such engagement.
ITEM 16.D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES
Under the listed company audit committee rules of the NYSE and the SEC, we must comply with Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, which requires that we establish an audit committee composed of members of the board of directors that meets specified requirements. Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(c)(3), a foreign private issuer is not required to have an audit committee equivalent to or comparable with a U.S. audit committee if the foreign private issuer has a body established and selected pursuant to home country legal or listing provisions expressly requiring or permitting such a body, and if the body meets the requirements that (i) it be separate from the full board, (ii) its members not be elected by management, (iii) no executive officer be a member of the body, and (iv) home country legal or listing provisions set forth standards for the independence of the members of the body. We believe that our statutory audit committee complies with these requirements, and we rely on the exemption provided by Rule 10A-3(c)(3) under the Exchange Act. See “Item 6.A. - Directors and Senior Management — Audit Committee” for a description of our statutory audit committee.
ITEM 16.E. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS
In the year ended December 31, 2025, we had 28,208,827 (24,875,787 as at December 31, 2024) of own common shares held in treasury, with an average price of R$53.57 per share, with a historical value of R$1,511,146 (R$1,391,309 as at December 31, 2024) and a closing price in December 31, 2025 of R$51.57 per share, with the market corresponding to R$1,454,729 (R$1,536,826 as at December 31, 2024). This change is due to the both January/2024 and August/2024 Repurchase Program, the cancellation of 20,000,000 common shares held in treasury on January 2024, and the cancellation of 40,000,000 common shares held in treasury on August 2024 see “Item 10.

ITEM 16.F. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Not applicable.
ITEM 16.G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Significant Differences between our Corporate Governance Practices and NYSE Corporate Governance Standards
We are subject to the NYSE corporate governance listing standards. As a foreign private issuer, the standards applicable to us are considerably different than the standards applied to U.S. listed companies. Under the NYSE rules, we are required to: (i) have an audit committee or audit board, pursuant to an applicable exemption available to foreign private issuers, that meets certain requirements, as discussed below, (ii) provide prompt certification by our chief executive officer of any material noncompliance with any corporate governance rules, (iii) adopt a Clawback Policy under NYSE rules; and (iv) provide a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE corporate governance practice required to be followed by U.S. listed companies. The significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required for U.S. listed companies follows below.
Majority of Independent Directors
The NYSE rules require that a majority of a company’s board of directors must consist of independent directors. Independence is defined by various criteria, including the absence of a material relationship between the director and the listed company. Under Brazilian law, according to the Novo Mercado listing rules, at least 20% or two of the members of our board of directors (whichever is the greater) must be independent directors, as defined under Brazilian law. Currently, our board of directors consists of nine members, four of which are independent members.
120
Table of Contents
Executive Sessions
NYSE rules require that the non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. Currently, all of our directors are non-management directors and our directors meet at regularly scheduled sessions without management.
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee
NYSE rules require that listed companies have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and detailing its responsibilities, which include, among others, identifying and selecting qualified board member nominees and developing a set of corporate governance principles applicable to a company. We are not required under applicable Brazilian law to have a nominating committee/corporate governance committee and the Brazilian law also does not require that this committee be composed entirely of independent directors, if created. We do have an Appointment and Compensation Committee governed by a written charter, which is an advisory committee of our board of directors composed of three members, all of them independent members. The purpose of such committee is (i) to propose to the board of directors compensation policies and guidelines for managers, members of the Audit Committee and other remunerated committees, subject to the legislation and regulations applicable to the bylaws; (ii) to evaluate and propose appointment of members to compose our management positions, verifying and attesting their qualification to perform their activities, according to the regulations, policies and other rules to which we are subject or have voluntarily adopted.
Compensation Committee
NYSE rules require that listed companies have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter addressing the committee’s required purpose and detailing its required responsibilities, which include, among other things, reviewing corporate goals relevant to CEO compensation, evaluating CEO performance and approving CEO compensation levels and recommending to the board non CEO compensation, incentive compensation and equity based plans. We are not required under applicable Brazilian law to have a compensation committee, although we have established an advisory committee, comprised of independent members, to advise on certain of these matters, the Appointment and Compensation Committee. Under the Brazilian Corporation Law, the total amount available for compensation of our directors and executive officers and for profit sharing payments to our executive officers must be established by our shareholders at the annual general meeting. Our board of directors, based on recommendations and analysis of the Appointment and Compensation committee, is responsible for determining the compensation and profit-sharing of our executive officers, as well as the compensation of our board and committee members, which is established according to market standards and internal rules of compensation
121
Table of Contents
Audit Committee
Under NYSE Rule 303A.06 and the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the SEC, domestic listed companies are required to have an audit committee consisting entirely of independent directors that otherwise complies with Rule 10A-3. In addition, a company’s audit committee must have a written charter that addresses the matters outlined in NYSE Rule 303.A.06(c), have an internal audit function and otherwise fulfill the requirements of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3. Under the
Novo Mercado
listing rules, we are required to have a “statutory audit committee” that complies with the CVM rules. The statutory audit committee is an advisory committee of the board of directors, and provides assistance in matters involving accounting, internal controls, financial reporting and compliance. The statutory audit committee also recommends to our board of directors the appointment of our independent auditors and evaluates the effectiveness of internal financial and legal compliance controls. The statutory audit committee is not, however, equivalent to or comparable with a U.S. audit committee. Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(c)(3), which provides for an exemption under the rules of the SEC regarding the audit committees of listed companies, a foreign private issuer is not required to have an audit committee equivalent to or comparable with a U.S. audit committee if the foreign private issuer has a body established and selected pursuant to home country legal or listing provisions expressly requiring or permitting such a body, and if the body meets the requirements that (i) it be composed of one or more members of the board of directors and one or more members that are not also members of the board of directors, (ii) its members not be elected by management, (iii) no executive officer be a member of the body, and (iv) home country legal or listing provisions set forth standards for the independence of the members of the body. See “Item 6.A - Directors and Senior Management — Audit Committee” for a description of our statutory audit committee.
Shareholder Approval of Equity Compensation Plans
NYSE rules require that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions thereto, with limited exceptions. Under Brazilian corporate law, shareholders must approve all stock option plans. In addition, any issuance of new shares that exceeds our authorized share capital is subject to shareholder approval.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
NYSE rules require that listed companies adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. We have a Corporate Governance Policy which exists to guarantee that principles of transparency, ethics, accountability, compliance with the law, and respect are always assured for everyone, regardless of whether they are shareholders, employees, stakeholders, or other persons related to Suzano. Moreover, it is used as the basis for our business models, policies, and guidelines. We also observe the requirements of the CVM and we adhere to the Novo Mercado listing rules
.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
NYSE rules require that listed companies adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers. Applicable Brazilian law does not have a similar requirement. We believe our code substantially addresses the matters required to be addressed by the NYSE rules. A copy of our Code of Ethics and Conduct has been filed as Exhibit 11.1 to this annual report. For a further discussion of our Code of Ethics and Conduct, see “Item 16.B - Code of Ethics and Conduct.”
Internal Audit Function
NYSE rules require that listed companies maintain an internal audit function to provide management and the audit committee with ongoing assessments of the company’s risk management processes and system of internal control. Brazilian law does not require that companies maintain an internal audit function. However, as an issuer on the New York Stock Exchange, we maintain an internal audit function. Our internal audit function is under the supervision of our statutory audit committee and is responsible for independently evaluating corporate, forest and industrial processes, verifying compliance with standards and policies adopted by us and analyzing possible cases of irregularities, such as fraud, bribery, corruption, conflicts of interest, insider information, embezzlement and damage to property.

We have
adopted
an Insider Trading Policy (the “Insider Trading Policy”), which, among other things, governs the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of our securities by directors, senior management, relevant employees, suppliers and service providers. Our Insider Trading Policy was reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any listing standards applicable to us. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy and procedures is filed as Exhibit 11.1 to this annual report and is also available on our website.
ITEM 16.K. CYBERSECURITY
Management and Risk Strategy
We maintain a comprehensive process to assess, identify, and manage risks arising from vulnerabilities, including risks related to disruptions to business operations or financial reporting systems, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to employees or customers, privacy law violations, and other legal disputes and risks, as part of our overall risk management system and processes.
Our information security and cybersecurity risk management processes include the following:
•
Our processes are structured based on NIST Cybersecurity and ISO 27001 frameworks. Our processes and policies are periodically reviewed to cover relevant risks.
•
We utilize components in our information security and cybersecurity framework such as multi-factor authentication, firewalls, antivirus software, vulnerability and penetration testing, among others.
•
Additionally, our internal areas collaborate with each other, encompassing those responsible for day-to-day Information Security and Cybersecurity matters, including our Cybersecurity team, Legal, Audit, Human Resources, and Corporate.
•
We frequently conduct training and awareness campaigns on information security and cybersecurity so that everyone receives guidance and can identify and report information security events or incidents, both in the corporate and industrial environments. These actions are intended to promote familiarity with our Information Security Policy. We also leverage internal communications to raise awareness and conduct phishing simulation exercises.
•
We regularly review, test, and update our information security and cybersecurity processes by conducting penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and attack simulations. Measures are implemented to deter, prevent, detect, and respond to unauthorized activities in our systems.
We annually conduct assessments of cybersecurity controls through independent consulting firms, which contribute to the evolution of the maturity on the subject. The results of these assessments are shared with the executive leadership, and relevant points are addressed throughout the year.
123
Table of Contents
Our information security risk management aims to identify, analyze, evaluate, and treat all of our information security risks, as a continuous and measurable process. Relevant information security risks are treated so that they are mitigated, avoided, or accepted. When mitigating, we seek to reduce the likelihood of damage to our assets and business impact whenever possible. Information security risks are periodically reported to the Cybersecurity Management, for the responsible Head, and our Senior Management. Furthermore, relevant information security incidents are also reported to the same responsible parties and, when applicable, to the Competent Authorities within the established deadline.
Our business strategy, operational results, and financial situation have not been materially affected by information security risk or incident, including previous information security incidents. We cannot provide assurance that they will not be affected in the future by such risks and any future incidents.
Governance
Head of Technology
The Head of Technology is primarily responsible for overseeing cybersecurity threat-related risks through the specific Cybersecurity management, and always connects with corporate risks. The Head of Technology has 30 years of experience in information technology, business management, operations and logistics acquired through the leadership of projects and in different types of industries such as consumer goods, electronics, metallurgy, steelmaking, and petrochemicals during 16 years of consulting, and 14 years at a global mining company.
At Suzano, she leads a robust Information Technology team, where one of the managements is responsible for Cybersecurity. In the position of
Cybersecurity Manager
,
we have a leader with expertise in the subject and over 18 years of experience in Cybersecurity.
To fulfill this responsibility, it is equipped with information from established information security processes and controls, periodically reporting strategic indicators to the security committee, and to the audit and executive committees as requested.
Management
We have an internally formalized process, based on the ISO 27005 framework, that defines the management of cybersecurity risks, aiming to identify, monitor, and communicate information security risks that may impact the business through a systematic approach and a continuous process, monitoring and, whenever possible, reducing the likelihood of causing any type of damage to our assets. Risks are periodically reported to management, as well as relevant information security incidents.
Board
Cybersecurity is periodically on the agenda of our
Board of Directors
, in addition to specific Cyber Committees within the company alongside executives.
There is monitoring and reporting to the company's Audit team and Corporate Risk team, where Cybersecurity is also overseen by the Board on their respective agendas.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Suzano S.A.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Suzano S.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
•
Valuation of biological assets
As described in Notes 3.2.8 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated biological assets balance as of December 31, 2025, of R$ 26,097,164 thousand, are measured at fair value less costs necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use or sale. The fair value is estimated by management using a discounted cash flow model. Management’s cash flow projections included significant judgments and assumptions including average sale price of eucalyptus in different regions and the average annual forests growth (IMA) of biological assets.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of biological assets is a critical audit matter are (i) there was a high degree of auditor subjectivity in applying our procedures relating to the fair value measurement of the biological assets due to the significant amount of judgment required by management when developing these estimates; (ii) significant audit effort was required in assessing the significant assumptions relating to average annual forests growth (IMA) and average sale price of eucalyptus in different regions; and (iii) professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained regarding the estimated discount cash flow model and discount rate.
F-2
Table of Contents
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the completeness of data and the model used to measure the fair value of the biological assets. Our procedures also included testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, related to the average annual forests growth (IMA) and the average eucalyptus sale price. In evaluating management’s assumptions relating to average annual forests growth (IMA) and average eucalyptus sale price involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering; (i) the consistency with external market and industry data; (ii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit and (iii) the disclosure requirements established by the accounting standard were met. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow model and the discount rate.
•
Tax and social security judicial liabilities and uncertainty over income tax treatments
As described in Notes 3.2.12, 3.2.13 and 20 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s consolidated provision for judicial liabilities relating to tax and social security of R$ 2,270,733 thousand (net of judicial deposits) and discloses those that are not probable that a loss will be incurred, in the total amount of R$ 10,417,734 thousand. The Company recognizes liabilities in the consolidated financial statements for the resolution of pending litigation when management determines that a loss is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. No liability for an estimated loss is accrued in the consolidated financial statements for unfavorable outcomes when, after assessing the information available, (i) management concludes that it is not probable that a loss will be incurred in any of the pending litigation; or (ii) management is unable to estimate the loss for any of the pending matters.
The principal considerations for determining that performing procedures relating to judicial liabilities relating to tax, social security and uncertainty over income tax treatments is a critical audit matter are (i) the use of significant judgment by management when assessing the likelihood of a loss being incurred; and (ii) when determining whether a reasonable estimate of the loss for each claim can be made, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment and effort in evaluating management’s assessment of the loss contingencies associated with litigation claims.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s evaluation of tax, social security litigation claims and uncertainty over income tax treatments, including controls over determining whether a loss is probable and whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These procedures also included, among others, obtaining and evaluating the letters of audit inquiry with internal and external legal counsel, evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assessment regarding whether an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible or probable and reasonably estimable, and evaluating the sufficiency of the Company’s litigation contingency disclosures.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of Suzano S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s Statutory Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with and in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with and in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, is based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda., an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as stated in their report as of December 31, 2025, which is included herein.

2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) and disclose all the applicable significant information related to the financial statements, which is consistent with the information used by Management in the performance of its duties.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais (“R$”) and disclosures of amounts in other currencies, when applicable, were also expressed in thousands, unless otherwise stated.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements 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 accounting practices requiring a higher level of judgment, and those which are more complex, as well as areas in which assumptions and estimates are significant, are disclosed in Note 3.2.19.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical costs basis, considering the historical cost as a value basis and adjusted to reflect the attributed cost of land and buildings on the date of transition to IFRS Accounting Standards, 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 material accounting policies applied to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are presented in Note 3.
F-11
Table of Contents
The consolidated financial statements were prepared under the going concern assumption.
3 SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all consolidated companies.
There were no changes on such policies and estimates calculation methodologies, except for the application of the new accounting policies presented in note 3.1, adopted as of January 1, 2025.
3.1 New accounting policies and changes in accounting policies adopted
The new standards and interpretations issued, until the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are described below.
3.1.1 Amendments to IAS 21: Lack of interchangeability (applicable for annual on/or after January 1, 2025)
The changes will create requirements for the entity to apply a consistent approach to assessing whether a currency is exchangeable for another currency and, when it is not, to determining the appropriate exchange rate to use and the disclosures to be made.
In this context, exchangeability is considered non-existent when, for a given purpose, the entity is unable to obtain more than an insignificant amount of foreign currency. To this end, the entity evaluates:
(i)
the timeliness of obtaining foreign currency;
(ii)
the practical ability (and not the intention) to obtain foreign currency; It is
(iii)
the available markets or exchange mechanisms that create enforceable rights and obligations.
The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any impacts.
3.2 Accounting policies adopted
The standards and interpretations issued up to the date of the Company's consolidated financial statements are described below.
3.2.1 Financial statements
3.2.1.1 Consolidated financial statements
They are prepared using information from Suzano and its subsidiaries on the same base date, except for the subsidiary Suzano Packaging and the affiliates Biomas, Simplifyber, which have a lag of less than three months in relation to the base date of these financial statements, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 28. The Company evaluates the effects of timing differences and incorporates the impact of relevant events into the consolidated results. As of December 31, 2025, no material transactions were identified that would affect the financial position presented in the financial statements
On
December 31, 2025
, Suzano had an investment in the associate Spinnova, in the amount of R$
54,393
, representing
18.76
% of the equity of this associate. Up to the date of this report, the latest financial statements published for this investment were more than three months out of date. In these circumstances, the investment is measured based on the latest information available, with the necessary adjustments being made as a result of the effects of significant transactions and events, which have no material effect on the consolidated result.
The Company consolidates all subsidiaries over which it has direct or indirect control, i.e. when it is exposed to or has the right to variable returns on its investment with the investee and has the ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee. When applicable, the participation of non-controlling shareholders is disclosed separately.
F-12
Table of Contents
In addition, all transactions and balances between Suzano and its subsidiaries, associates and joint operations were eliminated in consolidation, as well as the unrealized profits or losses arising from these transactions, net of tax effects, investments and the respective equity results.
3.2.2 Investments
3.2.2.1 Subsidiaries
These include all entities for which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally through a majority of voting rights. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns on its investment in the investee, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and consolidated from the date on which control ceases.
3.2.2.2 Joint operations
These include all entities for which the Company maintains contractually established control over its economic activity, and exists only when the strategic, financial and operational decisions regarding the activity requiring the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
In the consolidated financial statements, the balance of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses are recognized proportionally to the interest in joint operations.
3.2.2.3 Associates and joint ventures
In the investments in associates, the Company must have significant influence, which means the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, without having control or joint control over those policies. In investments in joint ventures, there is a contractually agreed sharing of control through an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities requiring the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
These include all entities initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter for the equity method, being increased or reduced from its interest in the investee's income after the acquisition date.
3.2.2.4 Business combinations
These are accounted for using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the acquirer. The cost of an acquisition is the sum of the consideration paid, evaluated based on the fair value at the acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are recorded as expenses when they are incurred, except for costs related to the issuance of debt instruments or equity instruments, which are presented as reductions in debt or equity, respectively.
In a business combination, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are evaluated in order to classify and allocate them, assessing the terms of the agreement, the economic circumstances and other conditions at the acquisition date.
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, net of any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, the goodwill recognized in a business combination, as from the acquisition date, is allocated to each of the Company’s cash generating units.
Gains on an advantageous purchase are recognized immediately in the result. The borrowing costs are recorded in the income statement as they are incurred.

Contingent liabilities related to tax, civil and labor, classified in the acquired company as possible and remote risks, are recognized by the acquirer at their fair values.
Transactions involving the acquisition of shares with shared control over the net assets traded are evaluated in accordance with the complementary guidance to IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, IFRS 11 and IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to evaluate initial recognition criteria.
For the investments defined based on the equity method, investments are initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted for the recognition of changes in the Company's share of the acquirer's Shareholders' equity as at the acquisition date.
Goodwill is measured and segregated from the carrying amount of the investment. Other intangible assets identified in the transaction shall be allocated in proportion to the interest acquired by the Company, based on the difference between the carrying amounts recorded in the acquired entity and its fair value assets, which may be amortized.
3.2.3 Translation of financial statements into the functional and presentation currency
The Company has determined that, for the parent company and all its subsidiaries, the functional and presentation currency is the Brazilian Real. The subsidiaries that are exceptions and do not have the Real as their functional currency are:
•
Suzano Packaging , a foreign subsidiary whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar;
•
Simplifyber, an overseas associate whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar;
•
Spinnova, an overseas associate whose functional currency is the Euro.
The accumulated gains or losses of which affect the conversion of the financial statements, which are recorded in other comprehensive income, in equity.
The individual financial information of each of the subsidiaries, included in the consolidated financial statement, are prepared in the local currency in which the subsidiary operates and are translated into the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
3.2.4 Transactions and balances in foreign currency
These are translated using the following criteria:
(i)
Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at year-end;
(ii)
Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate of the transaction;
(iii)
Revenue and expenses are translated based on monthly average rate; and
(iv)
The cumulative effects of gains or losses upon translation are recognized in the financial results of the year.
The cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) arising from the translation of a foreign operation previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss at the disposal of the operations. The total or partial disposal of interest in wholly-owned subsidiaries occurs through sale or dissolution, of all or part of operation.
3.2.5 Segment information
F-14
Table of Contents
An operating segment is a component of the Company that carries out business activities from which it can obtain revenue and incur expenses. The operating segments reflect how the Company’s management reviews the financial information used to make decisions. The Company’s management has identified
two
reportable segments, which meet the quantitative and qualitative disclosure requirements, in accordance with the current management model (note 28).
The operating segments defined by Management are as follows:
Pulp: comprises the production and sale of short-fiber eucalyptus pulp and fluff pulp, primarily to supply the international market.
Paper: comprises the production and sale of paper to meet the demands of both domestic and international markets. Sales of consumer goods (tissue) are classified within this segment due to their immateriality.
3.2.6 Financial instruments
3.2.6.1 Classification
Financial instruments are classified based on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, as set forth below:
(i)
Amortized cost;
(ii)
Fair value through other comprehensive income; and
(iii)
Fair value through profit or loss.
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, meaning the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial instruments are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flow from the investments have expired or have been transferred, substantially, all of the risks and rewards of ownership.
3.2.6.1.1 Financial instruments measured at amortized cost
Financial instruments held by the Company: (i) in order to receive their contractual cash flow and not to sell to realize a profit or loss; and (ii) whose contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flow that exclusively represents payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. They are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, and adjusted for foreign exchange and monetary variations incurred, when applicable. Any changes are recognized under financial income (expenses) in the income statement.
Annually, the Company assesses whether there is evidence that a financial asset is impaired. A financial is impaired only if there is evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flow of the financial asset that can be estimated reliably.
The criteria the Company uses to determine whether there is evidence of an impairment loss includes:
(i)
Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
(ii)
Defaults on or late payment of interest or principal under the agreement;
F-15
Table of Contents
(iii)
Where the Company, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, grants to the borrower a concession that a lender would not otherwise consider;
(iv)
It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
(v)
The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; and
(vi)
Observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flow from a portfolio of financial assets after the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio.
The amount of an impairment loss is measured at the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset is impaired, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced and a loss is recognized in the income statement.
If, in a subsequent remeasurement, if there is an improvement in the asset rating, such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating, the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the income statement.
Cash and cash equivalents
Include cash on hand, bank deposits and highly liquid short-term investments with maturities, upon acquisition, of 90 days or less, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Trade accounts receivable
These are recorded at their invoiced amounts, in the normal course of the Company´s business, adjusted for exchange rate variations where denominated in foreign currency and, if applicable, net of expected credit losses.
The Company applies an aging-based provision matrix with appropriate groupings for its portfolio. When necessary, based on individual analyses, the provision for expected losses is supplemented.
The Company examines the maturity of receivables on a monthly basis and identifies those customers with overdue balances, assessing the specific situation of each client, including the risk of loss, the existence of contracted insurance, letters of credit, collateral and the customer’s financial situation. In the event of default, collection attempts are made, which include direct contact with customers and collection efforts through third parties. Should these efforts prove unsuccessful, legal measures are considered, and expected credit losses are recognized. The notes are written off from the credit expected loss when Management considers that they are not recoverable after taking all appropriate measures to collect them.
Trade accounts payable and supplier finance arrangement
Corresponds to the obligations payable for goods or services acquired in the normal course of the Company´s business.
Supplier finance arrangements are made available for suppliers to anticipate receivables related to the Company's routine purchases. In this transaction, financial institutions pay suppliers who opted for early receipt in exchange for a discount and, when agreed upon between financial institutions and suppliers (the decision to adhere to this transaction is exclusive to the suppliers), the Company pays the financial institutions the total nominal amount of the original obligation on the original payment date. Therefore, these transactions do not change the amounts, nature and timing of the liabilities (including terms, prices and conditions previously agreed upon) and do not affect the Company with the financial charges charged by financial institutions. Additionally, payments made by the Company are directly related to supplier invoices and do not change cash flows. Accordingly, the Company continues to recognize suppliers who opted for drawdown risk in operating activities in the statements of cash flows.
Loans, financing and debentures
F-16
Table of Contents
General or specific borrowing costs, directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, are capitalized as a part of the cost of that asset when it is probable that they will provide future economic benefits for the entity, and that such cost can be measured with reliability. The Company does not have specific loans to obtain qualifying assets. Other loan costs are recognized as expenses in the period during which they are incurred.
3.2.6.1.2 Financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are financial assets held by the Company: (i) either to receive their contractual cash flow through sale with the realization of a profit or loss; and (ii) whose contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows constituting, exclusively, repayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. In addition, this category includes investments in equity instruments where, upon initial recognition, the Company elected to present subsequent changes in its fair value within other comprehensive income. Any changes are recognized under net financial income (expenses) in the income statement, except for the fair value of investments in equity instruments, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Includes the balance presented in Note 14.1 as other investments evaluated at fair value through other comprehensive income.
For such financial assets, the Company periodically assesses whether there are significant or prolonged reductions in the fair value of the instrument below its cost, in order to identify potential impairment and the corresponding impairment loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income.
3.2.6.1.3 Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss
Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. Any changes are recognized within financial income (expenses) in the income statement for non-derivative financial instruments and for financial derivative instruments within income from derivative financial instruments.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
Hedging instruments are derivatives executed exclusively for the purpose of mitigating the Company’s financial risks.
Embedded derivatives in non-derivative main contracts are required to be separated when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the respective main contracts, and these are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Non-option embedded derivatives are separated from the respective main contracts in accordance with the stated or implied substantive terms, so they have a zero fair value upon initial recognition.
3.2.7 Inventories
These are evaluated at the average acquisition or formation cost of the finished products, net of recoverable taxes, not exceeding their net realizable value.
Finished products and work-in-process consist of raw materials, direct labor, production costs, freight, storage and general production expenses, which are related to the processes required to make the products available for sale.
Imports in transit are presented at the cost incurred up to the balance sheet date.
F-17
Table of Contents
Raw materials derived from biological assets are measured based on their fair value, less costs to sell at the point of harvest and freight costs.
Provisions for obsolescence, adjustments to net realizable value, impaired items and slow-moving inventories are recorded when necessary. Usual production losses are recorded and are an integral part of the production costs for the respective month, whereas unusual losses, if any, are recorded directly as part of cost of sales.
3.2.8 Biological assets
The biological assets for production (mature and immature forests) are reforested eucalyptus forests, with a formation cycle between planting and harvest from 6 to 7 years, measured at fair value. Depletion is measured based on the amount of biological assets depleted (harvested) and measured at fair value at the time of harvest.
For the determination of the fair value, the income approach technique was applied, using the discounted cash flow model, according to the projected productivity cycle for these assets. The assumptions used to measure the fair value are reviewed every six months, as the Company considers that this interval is sufficient to ensure no significant gaps in the fair value balance of biological assets booked. Significant assumptions are presented in Note 13.
The gain or loss on the assessment of fair value is recognized in operating income (expenses), net.
Biological assets in the process of formation under the age of
2
(two) years are recorded for at their formation cost. Areas of permanent environmental preservation are not recorded, because these are not characterized as biological assets, and are not included in the measurement at fair value.
3.2.9 Property, plant and equipment
Stated at their cost of acquisition, formation, construction or dismantling, net of recoverable taxes. This cost is deducted from the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, when incurred, at the higher of the value in use or the proceeds from sale less cost to sell. The borrowing costs are capitalized as a component of construction in progress, at the weighted average rate of the Company’s debt at the capitalization date, adjusted for the equalization of exchange rate effects.
Depreciation is recognized based on the estimated economic useful life of each asset on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed annually, and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Land is not depreciated.
The Company performs an annual analysis of impairment indicators of property, plant and equipment. Impairment for losses on property, plant and equipment are only recognized if the related cash-generating unit is devalued, or if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is the higher of its value in use, and its fair value less costs to sell.
The cost of major renovations is capitalized if the future economic benefits exceed the performance standards initially estimated for the asset and are then depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.
Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are measured by comparing the proceeds with the book value and are recognized as other operating income (expenses), net, at the disposal date.
3.2.10 Leases
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time is transferred in exchange for consideration, for which it is necessary to assess whether:
(i)
The contract involves the use of an identifiable asset, which may be explicit or implicit, and may be physically distinct or represent almost the entire capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantial right to replace the asset, then the asset is not identified;
F-18
Table of Contents
(ii)
The Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset during the contract period; and
(iii)
The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset, meaning the Company has the right to decide to change how and for what purpose the asset is used, if:
•
It has the right to operate the asset, or
•
It designed the asset, in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.
At the beginning of the contract, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability that represents the obligation to make payments related to the asset underlying the lease.
The right-to-use asset is initially measured at cost, which includes the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any payments made up to the contract start date, plus any direct initial costs incurred, and estimated costs of disassembly, removal, or restoration of the asset in the place where it is located, less any incentives received.
The right-to-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the start date to the end of the useful life of the right to use, or the end of the lease term, whichever is shorter. Except for land agreements that are automatically extended for the same period through a notification to the lessor, other agreements are not allowed automatic renewals for an indefinite period, since both parties have the right to terminate the agreements.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the payments not made, less the incremental loan rate.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change:
(i)
In future payments resulting from a change in index or rate;
(ii)
In the estimate of the expected amount to be paid, at the guaranteed residual value; or
(iii)
In the assessment of whether the Company will exercise the purchase option, extension or termination.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment amount is recorded in the book value of the right-of-use asset, or in the statement of profit and loss, if the book value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The Company does not have lease agreements with clauses imposing:
(i)
Variable payments that are based on the performance of the leased assets;
(ii)
Guarantees of residual value; and
(iii)
Restrictions, such as, for example, an obligation to maintain financial ratios.
Short-term or low-value contracts which are exempt from these standards are contracts where the individual value of the assets is lower than USD5, and for which the maturity date is shorter than 12 months, are expensed as incurred.
3.2.11 Intangible assets
These are measured at cost at the time when they are initially recognized. The cost of intangible assets acquired during a business combination corresponds to the fair value at the acquisition date. After initial recognition, intangible assets are presented at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, when applicable.
The useful life of intangible assets are assessed as finite or indefinite.
F-19
Table of Contents
Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the economically useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that their carrying values may be impaired. The amortization period and method for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at least at the end of each fiscal year. The amortization of intangible assets with finite useful lives is recognized in the statement of income as an expense related to its use, and in line with the economically useful life of the intangible asset.
Amortization of supplier and port services contracts, port concessions, lease agreements, and cultivars is recognized in cost of sales. Amortization of customer relationships is recognized in selling and marketing expenses. Amortization of trademarks and patents, non-compete agreements, research and development agreements, and system development and implementation costs is recognized in general and administrative expenses. Amortization of software is recognized based on its functional use and may be included in cost of sales, selling or general and administrative expenses.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested annually for impairment losses, individually or at the CGU level. The allocation is made to the CGU or group of CGUs that represents the lowest level within the entity for which goodwill is monitored for management's internal purposes, that has benefited from the business combination. The Company mainly records in this subgroup goodwill for expected future profitability (goodwill) and easement of passage.
This testing involved the adoption of significant assumptions and judgments, disclosed in Note 16.
3.2.12 Current and deferred income tax and social contribution and uncertainty over income tax treatments (IFRIC 23)
Income taxes include income tax and social contribution on net income, current and deferred. These taxes are recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in equity. In this case, they are recognized in equity under other reserves.
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.
The current charge is calculated based on the tax laws enacted in the countries in which the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates the positions assumed in the income tax returns with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulations give rise to interpretations and establishes provisions, when appropriate, based on the amounts that must be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax and contribution liabilities are recognized on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred taxes and contributions are determined based on the rates in force on the balance sheet date, and which must be applied when they are realized or settled.
Deferred tax assets and contributions are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available for use to offset temporary differences, based on the projections of future results prepared and based on internal assumptions and future economic scenarios that may, therefore, undergo changes.
The projection for the realization of deferred tax assets was prepared based on Management's estimates that are based on significant judgments and assumptions relating to net average pulp and paper prices, and the transfer prices with the subsidiaries based in Austria. However, there are other assumptions that are not under the control of the Company, such as inflation rates, exchange rates, pulp prices in the international market, and other economic uncertainties in Brazil, which mean that future results may differ from those considered in the preparation of the consolidated projection.
Deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except when the timing of the reversal of temporary differences is controlled by the Company, and if it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
F-20
Table of Contents
Deferred tax and contribution assets and liabilities are offset and presented at their net amounts in the balance sheet whenever they are related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority.
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, is added in the determination of taxable income and the social contribution calculation basis of the controlling entity domiciled in Brazil, at each year ended.
3.2.13 Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities
Contingent assets are not recorded. Recognition is only performed when there are guarantees or favorable judicial decisions and the amounts of these can be measured reliably. Contingent assets for which such conditions are not met are only disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when their amounts are material.
Provisions for liabilities are made to the extent that the Company expects that is probable that it will disburse cash, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Tax, civil, environmental and labor proceedings are accrued when losses are assessed as probable, and the amounts involved can be measured reliably, being recorded net of judicial deposits, under “provisions for judicial liabilities”. When the expectation of loss is possible, a description of the processes and amounts involved is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Contingent liabilities assessed as representing remote losses are neither accrued nor disclosed.
Contingent liabilities arising from business combinations are recognized if they arise from a present obligation as a result of from past events, and if their fair values can be measured reliably, and are subsequently measured at the higher of:
(i)
The amount that would be recognized in accordance with the accounting policy for the provisions above that comply with IAS 37; or
(ii)
The amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, revenue recognized in accordance with the accounting treatment of revenue from customer contracts under IFRS 15.
Principal and penalties amounts related to Tax, civil, environmental and labor proceedings are under other operating income and expenses and the interest is recognized in the net financial result.
The realization of provisions for judicial liabilities and contingent liabilities arising from business combinations, with possible and remote probability of loss, are recognized under other operating income and expenses or cash depending on the court decision.
3.2.14 Share based payments
The Company’s executives and managers receive part of their compensation through share-based payment plans, settled in cash and shares.
Expenses related to these plans are recognized in the income statement as administrative expenses over the vesting period, based on the fair value determined at the grant date for equity-settled plans and remeasured at each reporting date for cash-settled plans. The changes in the fair value of cash-settled plans are recognized under administrative expenses in the statement of profit or loss. The corresponding entry is recognized in non-current liabilities for cash-settled plans and in shareholders’ equity for equity-settled plans.
F-21
Table of Contents
3.2.15 Employee benefits
The Company offers benefits through a supplementary contribution plan to all employees, as well as medical assistance and life insurance for a determined group of former employees, and for the latter two benefits an annual actuarial appraisal is prepared by an independent actuary, and are reviewed by Management. The respective impact is recognized in employee benefit plans.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other reserves when incurred. The interest incurred, resulting from changes in the present value of the actuarial liability, is recorded in the income statement within financial expenses.
3.2.16 Government grants and assistance
Government grants and assistance are recognized at fair value when it is reasonably certain that the conditions established by the granting Governmental Authority were observed, and that these subsidies will be obtained. These are recorded as deductions expenses in the income statement for the period of enjoyment of the benefit, and subsequently allocated to the tax incentives reserve under shareholders’ equity, when applicable.
3.2.17 Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized at the time when control of the products is transferred to customers, represented by the ability to determine the use of products and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the products.
For the Pulp operating segment, revenue recognition occurs when control is transferred to the buyer who assumes the remaining benefits of the asset and is based on the parameters provided by: (i) International Commercial Terms (“Incoterms”), when destined for the foreign market; and (ii) lead times, when destined for the internal market.
For the Paper and Consumer Goods operating segments, revenue is also recognized upon the transfer of control to the customer, based on (i) the applicable Incoterms and (ii) the lead time, for transactions carried out in both foreign and domestic markets.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of taxes, returns, rebates and discounts, and recognized in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, when the amount can be reliably measured.
Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for rebates and discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly unlikely that a significant reversal will occur. A provision for reimbursement (included in trade accounts receivable) is recognized for expected rebates and discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. No significant element of financing is deemed to be present, as sales are made with short credit terms.
3.2.18 Employee and management profit sharing
Employees are entitled to profit sharing based on certain goals agreed annually. For the Administrators, the basis is the legal and statutory provisions proposed by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders are used as a basis. Provisions for participation are recognized in the payroll and charges against to administrative expenses during the period in which the targets are attained.

3.2.19 Material accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
As disclosed in Note 2, Management applied judgments, estimates, and accounting assumptions to reflect future conditions and expectations. Such assumptions, based on available information and relevant economic factors, may involve uncertainties that could result in significant changes in the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses in subsequent periods.
The Company reviews the estimates and underlying assumptions used in its accounting estimates on an annual basis. Revisions to the accounting estimates are recognized in the period during which the estimates are revised. The main matters subject to these estimates are presented below:
Fair value of financial instruments (Note 4):
The measurement of the fair value of financial instruments requires significant management judgment, especially for transactions contracted in over-the-counter markets or with low liquidity. These calculations involve assumptions regarding future interest rates, foreign exchange coupon curves, volatility, commodity prices, and counterparties’ credit risk, using models such as discounted cash flow and Garman-Kohlhagen for options. The estimates consider normal market conditions at the reporting date, without forced liquidation, and rely on observable inputs (rates, curves, volatilities) and unobservable inputs (spreads and risk adjustments), in accordance with IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy. Changes in these assumptions, such as variations in interest rate curves, exchange rates, or input prices, may significantly impact the fair values recognized, affecting assets, liabilities, and the results for the period.
The main risks arise from the volatility of financial markets and the sensitivity of the assumptions used in fair value measurement. Abrupt changes in exchange rates, interest rates, or commodity prices may result in significant adjustments to derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, influencing profit or loss and equity. In addition, external factors such as economic crises, regulatory changes, or reduced liquidity may affect the reliability of the estimates, increasing the subjectivity of the calculations. As these instruments are predominantly classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, there is greater reliance on internal models and unobservable inputs, which increases the degree of uncertainty. Suzano mitigates these risks through robust financial policies, daily monitoring of positions, sensitivity analyses, and periodic reviews of the assumptions used.
Annual analyses of the recoverability of taxes (Notes 9 and 12):
The annual assessment of the recoverability of taxes is essential to ensure that deferred tax assets and tax credits recognized by Suzano appropriately reflect the expectation of future realization. These assets depend on projections of taxable results, offsetting plans, and interpretations of tax legislation, requiring significant management judgment. The determination of recoverability involves assumptions regarding economic growth, future profitability, the utilization of tax losses and negative bases of corporate income tax and social contribution, as well as the assessment of risks related to uncertain tax positions in accordance with ICPC 22/IFRIC 23.
As these estimates are sensitive to changes in the economic and regulatory environment, their proper measurement is critical to the transparency and reliability of the financial statements.
The main risks arise from uncertainty regarding the generation of sufficient taxable profits to realize tax credits, as well as the possibility of changes in legislation or tax interpretations that may affect the utilization of these assets. Changes in profit projections, revisions to strategic plans, or unfavorable decisions in tax disputes may lead to the need for significant adjustments to the recorded balances. In addition, because this assessment involves judgments about future scenarios and complex tax positions, there is a risk of volatility in profit or loss and equity if the assumptions do not materialize. Suzano mitigates these risks through periodic reviews, support from legal opinions, and continuous monitoring of tax contingencies.
Fair value of biological assets (Note 13):
F-23
Table of Contents
The measurement of the fair value of biological assets is essential to appropriately reflect, in Suzano’s financial statements, the economic value of the eucalyptus forests used as raw material in pulp production. This process involves significant assumptions, such as mean annual increment (IMA), wood prices, establishment costs, land opportunity cost, discount rate (WACC), and inflation, all based on long-term projections and region-specific conditions. As these variables are sensitive to changes in market conditions, climate, and productivity, the judgments and estimates applied by Management have a direct impact on the carrying amount of the assets and, consequently, on the Company’s results.
The main risks arise from the inherent uncertainty in the assumptions used to calculate fair value. Variations in wood prices, forest growth rates (IMA), establishment costs, or the discount rate may result in significant adjustments to biological assets and affect operating results. In addition, external factors such as regulatory changes, climatic events, pests, or fires may impact productivity and projected cash flows, increasing fair value volatility. As this measurement is classified as Level 3 in the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy and is based on unobservable inputs, there is a higher degree of subjectivity and a need for robust controls to ensure the reliability of the information.
Annual analysis recoverable amount of goodwill (Note 16):
Goodwill is tested for recoverability annually or whenever there are indications of impairment. For testing purposes, assets are allocated to the Cash-Generating Units (CGUs) to which the goodwill is associated. The recoverable amount is determined based on value in use, calculated from discounted cash flows, considering financial projections approved by Management for a five-year horizon, plus a long-term growth rate for subsequent periods.
Key assumptions include the discount rate (WACC), which reflects the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for business risk and market conditions; the perpetuity growth rate, based on sustainable growth expectations for the sector; operating margins, estimated according to historical performance and market outlook; and revenue projections, based on macroeconomic assumptions, competitive dynamics, and strategic plans.
These assumptions involve significant judgment and are subject to uncertainties, particularly regarding the discount rate, where variations can substantially impact the recoverable amount; the growth rate, where changes can reduce the test’s safety margin; and operational performance, which may be affected by changes in the economic or competitive environment, impacting revenue and margin projections. If these assumptions do not materialize, an impairment loss may need to be recognized in future periods.
Provision for judicial liabilities (Note 20):
The Company is a party to judicial and administrative proceedings of a tax, civil, environmental and labor nature. A provision for legal contingencies is recognized when there is a present obligation arising from past events and when Management, based on the opinion of legal counsel, considers an outflow of resources to settle the obligation to be probable and the amount involved can be reliably estimated.
The amount provided is calculated taking into account the probability of loss, classified as probable, possible or remote according to legal assessment; the estimated cash outflow, based on the history of decisions, applicable case law and the procedural stage of the cases; and monetary restatement and charges, applied in accordance with applicable legislation.
Significant assumptions include legal interpretation, as changes in case law or decisions by higher courts may significantly affect the probability of loss; the estimation of amounts, which may vary as a result of new calculations, expert reports or updates to legal bases; and the regulatory environment, since legislative changes may impact the obligation or the estimated amount.
The provisions involve significant judgments and are subject to uncertainties, especially in long-term proceedings or cases involving complex matters. Should there be changes in assumptions or in legal interpretation, additional provisions may be recognized or reversals may occur in future periods.

3.3 Accounting policies not yet adopted
The new and changed standards and interpretations issued, but not yet adopted up to December 31, 2025, are described below. The Company intends to adopt these new standards, changes and interpretations, if applicable, when they come into force, and does not expect them to have a material impact on the financial statements except for the IFRS 18 as disclosed below.
3.3.1 Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (applicable for annual on/or after January 1, 2026)
On 30 May 2024, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to respond to recent questions arising in practice, and to include new requirements not only for financial institutions but also for corporate entities. These amendments:
•
clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities,with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system;
•
clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion;
•
add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some financial instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets); and
•
update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
3.3.2 IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (applicable for annual on/or after January 1, 2027)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which will replace IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements, introducing new requirements with the aim of increasing the comparability of financial performance between entities and providing more relevant and transparent information to users of financial statements.
Although IFRS 18 does not change the recognition or measurement of items, significant impacts are expected on the presentation and disclosure of financial statements, especially with regard to the structure of the income statement, the disclosure of performance measures defined by management, the principles of aggregation and disaggregation of information, and certain aspects of the cash flow statement.
The Company is currently assessing the impacts of adopting IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements. Based on a preliminary assessment, the following possible effects stand out, among others: changes in the presentation of results, resulting from the new classification of revenues and expenses into standardized categories and the introduction of new subtotals; possible adjustments in the presentation of the main financial statements, with the regrouping or greater detail of certain lines, in accordance with the new principles of aggregation and disaggregation; new disclosure requirements related to performance measures defined by Management; and adjustments in the presentation of the cash flow statement, in accordance with the new requirements of the standard.
IFRS 18 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with retrospective application, so that comparative information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026, will be restated upon initial adoption of the standard.
3.3.3 IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (applicable for annual on/or after January 1, 2027)
Issued in May 2024, IFRS 19 allows for certain eligible subsidiaries of parent entities that report under IFRS Accounting Standards to apply reduced disclosure requirements.

3.3.4 Amendment to IAS 21 - Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (applicable for annual on/or after January 1, 2027)
On 13 November 2025, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IAS 21 specifying the procedures to be applied for translating amounts from a functional currency of a non‑hyperinflationary economy into a presentation currency of a hyperinflationary economy.
3.3.5 Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11
These amendments are intended to enhance clarity in the wording of certain standards (IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7) and to remedy omissions, inconsistencies or unintended effects resulting from the application of such standards.
4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS MANAGEMENT
4.1 Financial risks management
4.1.1 Overview
As a result of its activities, the Company is exposed to various financial risks, which are managed in accordance with the Financial Risk Management, Counterparty and Issuer Risk, Debt, Derivative and Cash Management Policies (“Financial Policies”) approved at the Board of Directors' meeting.
The main factors considered by Management are:
(i)
Liquidity;
(ii)
Credit;
(iii)
Exchange rate;
(iv)
Interest rate;
(v)
Fluctuations of pulp selling and commodity prices; and
(vi)
Capital.
Management are focused on generating consistent and sustainable results over time, however, arising from external risk factors, unintended levels of volatility can influence the Company’s cash flow and income statement.
The Company has policies and procedures for managing market risk which aims to:
(i)
Reduce, mitigate or transfer exposure with the aim of protecting the Company’s cash flow and assets against fluctuations in the market prices of raw material and products, exchange rates and interest rates, price and adjustment indices ("market risk") or other assets or instruments traded in liquid or illiquid markets to which the value of the assets, liabilities and cash flow are exposed;
(ii)
Establish limits and instruments with the purpose of allocating the Company's cash to financial institutions falling within acceptable credit risk exposure parameters; and
(iii)
Optimize the process of contracting financial instruments for protection against exposure to risk, drawing on natural hedges and correlations between the prices of different assets and markets, avoiding any waste of funds for inefficient transactions. All financial transactions entered into by the Company aim to protect existing exposures, with the assumption of new risks being prohibited, except those arising from its operating activities.
F-26
Table of Contents
Hedging instruments are contracted exclusively for hedging purposes and are based on the following terms:
(i)
Protection of cash flow against currency mismatches;
(ii)
Protection of revenue flows for debt settlement and interest payments against fluctuations in interest rates and currencies; and
(iii)
Protection against fluctuations in the prices of pulp and other supplies related to production.
The Treasury team is responsible for identification, evaluating and seeking protection against possible financial risks. The Board of Directors approves financial policies that establish the principles and guidance for global risk management, the areas involved in these activities, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, and the allocation of a cash surplus.
The Company only uses the most liquid financial instruments, and:
(i)
Does not enter into leveraged transactions or other forms of embedded options that change the purpose of protection (hedge);
(ii)
Does not have double-indexed debt or other forms of implied options; and
(iii)
Does not have any transactions requiring margin deposits or other forms of collateral for counterparty credit risk.
The Company does not use hedge accounting. Therefore, gains and losses from derivative operations are fully recognized in the statements of income, as disclosed in Note 26.

4.1.3 Fair value of loans and financing
The financial instruments are recognized at their contractual amounts. In order to determine the market values of financial instruments traded in public and liquid markets, the market closing prices were used at the balance sheet dates. The fair values of interest rate and index swaps are calculated based on the present value of their future cash flow, discounted at the current interest rates available for transactions with similar remaining terms to maturity. This calculation is based on the quotations of B3 and ANBIMA for interest rate transactions in Brazilian Reais, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and Bloomberg for Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) transactions. The fair value of forward or forward exchange agreements is determined using the forward exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates, in accordance with B3 prices.
In order to determine the fair values of financial instruments traded in over-the-counter or unliquidated markets, a number of assumptions and methods based on normal market conditions and not for liquidation or forced sale, are used at each balance sheet date, including the use of option pricing models such as Garman-Kohlhagen, and estimates of discounted future cash flow. The fair value of agreements for the fixing of oil bunker prices is obtained based on the Platts index.

Management considers that, for its other financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost, their book values approximate their fair values, and therefore the fair value information is not being presented.
4.2 Liquidity risk management
The Company’s purpose is to maintain a strong cash and marketable securities position to meet its financial and operating commitments. The amount held in cash is intended to cover the expected outflows in the normal course of its operations, while the cash surplus is generally invested in highly liquid financial investments according to the Cash Management Policy.
The cash position is monitored by the Company’s Management, by means of management reports and participation in performance meetings with determined frequencies.
In the year ended December 31, 2025, the variations in cash and marketable securities were as expected, and the cash generated from operations was mostly used for investments and debt service.
All derivative financial instruments were traded over the counter and do not require deposit guarantee margins.
The remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities are presented as of the balance sheet date.
The amounts as set forth below consist of undiscounted cash flow, and include interest payments and exchange rate variations, and therefore may not reconcile with the amounts disclosed in the balance sheet.

4.3 Credit risk management
Related to the possibility of non-compliance with the counterparties’ commitments as part of a transaction. Credit risk is managed on a group basis and arises from cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, bank deposits, Bank Deposit Certificates ("CDB"), fixed income box, repurchase agreements, letters of credit, insurance, receivable terms of customers, and advances to suppliers for new projects, among others.
4.3.1 Trade accounts receivable
The Company has commercial and credit policies aimed at mitigating any risks arising from defaults by its customers, mainly through contracting credit insurance policies, bank guarantees provided by first-tier banks, and collateral based on liquidity. Moreover, portfolio customers are subject to internal credit analysis aimed at assessing the risks regarding payment performance, both for exports and for domestic sales.
For customer credit assessment, the Company applies a matrix based on the analysis of qualitative and quantitative aspects to determine the individual credit limits to each customer according to the identified risks. Each analysis is submitted for approval according to an established hierarchy and, if applicable, for approval at a Management meeting and by the Credit Committee.
The risk classification of trade accounts receivable is set forth below:
Consolidated
12/31/2025
12/31/2024
Low - current and overdue up to 30 days
6,270,686

4.3.2 Banks and financial institutions
The Company, in order to mitigate its credit risk, ensures its financial operations are diversified among banks, with a main focus on first-tier financial institutions classified as high-grade with the majority of its balance having a brAAA risk rating — that is, those with a high level of credit quality and low risk according to the main credit rating agencies.

4.4 Market risk management
The Company is exposed to several market risks, mainly related to fluctuations in exchange rate variations, interest rates, inflation rates, pulp selling prices and commodity prices that could affect its results and financial situation.
To mitigate the impacts, the Company has processes to monitor its exposure and policies that could support the implementation of risk management.
These policies establish the limits and the instruments to be implemented for the purpose of:
(i)
Protecting cash flow due to currency mismatch;
(ii)
Mitigating exposure to interest rates;
(iii)
Reducing the impacts of fluctuations in commodity’s prices; and
(iv)
Changes to debt indexes.
Market risk management involves the identification, assessment and implementation of the strategy, with the effective contracting of adequate financial instruments.
4.4.1 Exchange rate risk management
The fundraising, financing and currency hedging policies of the Company are guided by the fact that a substantial part of the net revenue arises from exports with prices negotiated in US Dollars, while a substantial part of the production costs are in Brazilian Reais. This structure allows the Company to enter into export financing arrangements in US Dollars, and to reconcile the financing payments with the cash flow of receivables from sales in foreign markets, using the international bond market as an important portion of its capital structure, and providing a natural cash hedge for these commitments.
F-32
Table of Contents
Moreover, the Company enters into USD 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 assets and liabilities that are exposed to foreign currency, substantially in USD, are set forth below:

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 USD = R$
5.5024
).
This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly interest rates, remain constant. The other analyses considered unfavorable scenarios of the Brazilian Real against the USD at the rates of
25
% and
50
% before taxes.

4.4.1.2 Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange rate exposure – derivative financial instruments
The Company has sales operations in USD 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 USD over a
24
-month horizon, and are therefore pegged to the availability of ready-to-sell foreign exchange in the short term.
F-33
Table of Contents
In addition to the transaction described above, the Company also taken out derivative instruments linked to the USD 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 analyses considered unfavorable scenarios of the Brazilian Real against the USD by
25
% and
50
%, before taxes, based on the base scenario on December 31, 2025.

4.4.2 Interest rate risk management
Fluctuations in interest rates could increase or reduce the costs of new loans and existing contracted operations.
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.

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 December 31, 2025. The probable scenario was extrapolated considering an unfavorable variation of
25
% and
50
% in the US-CPI to define the possible and remote scenarios, respectively.

4.4.3 Pulp and commodity price risk management
The Company is exposed to the selling price of pulp and commodity prices in the international market. The dynamics of rising and falling production capacities in the global market, demand 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.
The fair value does not represent an obligation to make an immediate disbursement or receipt of cash, given that such an effect will only occur on the dates of contractual fulfillment or upon the maturity of each transaction, when the result will be determined, depending on the case and on the market conditions on the agreed dates.
A summary of the methodologies used for the purpose of determining the fair value by type of instrument is presented below:
(i)
Swaps: the future value of the asset and liability is estimated based on the cash flows projected using the market interest rate of the currency in which the tip of the swap is denominated. The present value of the US Dollar-denominated tip is measured using the discount based on the exchange coupon curve (the remuneration, in US Dollars, of the Reais invested in Brazil) and in the case of the R$-denominated tip, the discount is made using Brazil's interest curve, being the future curve of the DI, considering the credit risk of both the Company and the counterparty. The exception is pre-fixed contracts x USD, for which the present value of the tip denominated in USD is measured through a discount using the SOFR curve disclosed by Bloomberg. The fair value of the contract is the difference between these two points. Interest rate curves were obtained from B3.
(ii)
Options (Zero Cost Collar): the fair value was calculated based on the Garman Kohlhagen model, considering both the Company’s and the counterparty credit risk. Volatility information and interest rates are observable and obtained from the B3 exchange and are used to calculate the fair values.
F-36
Table of Contents
(iii)
Non-deliverable forward (“NDF”) contracts: a projection of the future currency quote is made, using the exchange coupon curves and the future DI curve for each maturity. Next, the difference between this quotation and the rate at which the operation was contracted is verified, considering the credit risk of the Company and the counterparty. This difference is multiplied by the notional value of each contract and brought to its present value based on the future DI curve. Interest rate curves were obtained from B3.
(iv)
Swap US-CPI: liability cash flows are projected based on the US inflation curve US-CPI, obtained based on the implicit rates for inflation-linked US securities (Treasury Protected against Inflation – “TIPS”), disclosed by Bloomberg. Cash flows from the asset components are projected at the fixed rates implicit in the embedded derivatives. The fair value of an embedded derivative is the difference between the two components, adjusted to present value base on the curve of the exchange coupon obtained from B3.
(v)
Swap VLSFO (marine fuel): a future projection of the asset price is made, using the future price curve disclosed by Bloomberg. Next, the difference between this projection and the rate at which the operation was contracted is verified, considering both of Company’s and the counterparty’s credit risk. This difference is multiplied by the notional value of each contract and adjusted to present value using the SOFR curve disclosed by Bloomberg.
The yield curves used to calculate the fair value as of December 31, 2025 are as set forth below:

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.
F-38
Table of Contents
(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)
Swap
CNH x USD: swap positions exchanging a fixed rate in Chinese yuan for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to change the exposure of debts in yuan to US$, aligning with the natural exposure of the Company's receivables in US$.
(viii)
Zero Cost Collar: positions in an instrument that consists of the simultaneous combination of a purchase of put options and the sale of call options in US$, 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.
(ix)
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.
(x)
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.
(xi)
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.
(xii)
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.
(xiii)
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 December 31, 2025 compared to the fair values measured on December 31, 2024 are explained substantially by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US$ and by settlements during the year.
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 December 31, 2025 are over-the-counter market operations, without any type of collateral margin or forced early settlement clause due to variations from market marking.

4.6 Fair value hierarchy
Financial instruments are measured at fair value, which considers the fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an unforced transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Depending on the inputs used for measurement, the financial instruments at fair value may be classified into three hierarchical levels:
(i)
Level 1 – Based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A market is considered active if it trades frequently and at a sufficient volume to provide pricing information immediately and continuously, usually obtained from a commodity and stock exchange, pricing service or regulatory agency, and if the prices represent actual market transactions, which occur regularly on a commercial basis;
(ii)
Level 2 - Based on the prices quoted in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, the prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets, evaluation models for which inputs are observable , such as rates of interest and yield curves, credit volatilities and spreads, and market corroborated information. Assets and liabilities classified in this category are measured based on the discounted cash flow and interest accrual, respectively, for derivative financial instruments and marketable securities. The observable inputs include interest rates and curves, volatility factors and foreign exchange rates; and
(iii)
Level 3 – Based on unquoted data for assets and liabilities, where the Company applies the income approach technique using the discounted cash flow model. The observable inputs used are the IMA, discount rate and eucalyptus average gross sales price.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no changes between the levels of hierarchy and no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3.

4.7 Cybersecurity
Suzano has a Public Information Security Policy, which aims to establish guidelines regarding cyber security management and controls at Suzano, seeking to mitigate vulnerabilities, preserve and protect assets, mainly information and personal data, in accordance with current laws, regulations and contractual obligations, covering the confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity and legality of information. The Policy establishes responsibilities to avoid damages, which may represent financial impacts, image and reputation, exposure of information, interruption of operations, among other damages due to cyber-attacks.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, no material incidents associated with cybersecurity were identified that could affect the confidentiality, integrity and/or availability of the systems used by the Company.
4.8 Climate change
4.8.1 Risks linked to climate change and the sustainability strategy
In view of the nature of the Company's operations, there is inherent exposure to risks related to climate change.
The Company's assets, notably biological assets, which are measured at fair value (Note 13), property, plant and equipment (Note 15) and intangible assets (Note 16), may be impacted by climate change, the risks of which were evaluated in the context of preparation of financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Management considered the main risk data and assumptions highlighted below:
(i)
Possible impacts on the determination of fair value in biological assets due to: Effects of climate change, such as temperature rises and scarcity of water resources, could impact some of the assumptions used in accounting estimates related to the Company's biological assets, as follow:
•
Loss of biological assets due to fires and impacts arising from the greater presence and resistance of pests and other forest diseases favored by the gradual increase in temperature;
•
Reduction in productivity and expected growth (“IMA”) due to reduced availability of water resources in river basins and other atypical weather events such as droughts, frosts and torrential rains; and
•
Interruptions to the production chain due to adverse weather events.
(ii)
Scarcity of water resources in the industry: although our units are efficient in the use of water, there are contingency plans for all units affected by possible water shortages and action plans to confront the water crisis in critical regions.
(iii)
Structural changes in society and their impacts on business, such as:
•
Regulatory and legal: arising from changes in the Brazilian and/or international scope that require capital investment in new technologies and/or operating costs. Among the expected topics are carbon pricing, customs carbon taxation, trade barriers and/or commercial restrictions related to businesses’ alleged contributions, even if indirect, to the intensification of climate change, which increase the risk of litigation;
•
Technological: arising from the emergence of improvements and innovations towards an economy with greater energy efficiency and lower carbon. Suzano should continue investing in technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
•
Markets: arising from changes to the supply of and demand for certain products and services as climate-related issues begin to be considered in decision-making. The market should increasingly prioritize the reduction of carbon emissions and more sustainable business practices, which may lead to changes in demand for and revenues from Suzano’s products and an increase in demand for renewable forests and other sustainable products; and
F-43
Table of Contents
•
Reputational: related to the perceptions of customers and society in general regarding the positive or negative contribution of an organization to a low carbon economy.

The balance refers to transactions with Ibema Companhia Brasileira de Papel.
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 decision to assign the receivables is continuously reassessed based on market conditions and the Company's cash flow strategy, meaning that the volume of discounts may vary over time. The impact of these factoring transactions on the accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025, was R$

The forestry development program consists of an incentive partnership for regional forest production, where independent producers plant eucalyptus on their own land to supply agricultural wood products to the Company. Suzano provides eucalyptus seedlings, input subsidies and cash advances, and the latter are not subject to valuation at their present value since they will be settled in volume standing or cut wood. In addition, the Company supports producers by providing technical advice on forest management but does not have joint control over decisions effectively implemented. At the end of the production cycles, the Company has a contractually guaranteed right to make an offer to purchase the forest and/or wood at its market value. However, this right does not prevent producers from negotiating the sale of the forest and/or wood with other market participants, provided the incentive amounts are fully paid.

12 INCOME AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TAXES
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 year ended December 31, 2025. There is no provision for tax related to the non-double taxation profits of such subsidiary in 2025. Disclosures about uncertain tax positions for income tax and social contribution (IFRIC 23) are presented in Note 20.2.

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.
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.
Since 2024, the Company has been subject to these new rules in certain European jurisdictions where it operates, with Austria standing out as a relevant operation.
As of 2025, the Company is subject to the Additional Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL), which is the Brazilian legislation's response to the GloBE rules and affects business groups with an IRPJ and CSLL tax burden of less than 15% in Brazil.
Based on the calculations performed under the GloBE Simplifying Transition Rules (RSGT), there is no impact on the financial statements in relation to this matter.
The Company reaffirms its commitment to tax compliance and will continue to carry out the necessary actions to ensure the proper implementation of the new rule in the jurisdictions where it operates, in line with global best practices and current legislation.

The calculation of fair value of the biological assets is determined using unobservable data, therefore it falls under Level 3 in the hierarchy set forth in IFRS 13 — Measurement of Fair Value.
In our model, the assumptions regarding the average annual growth rate (IMA) and average gross selling price of eucalyptus are particularly sensitive. Any increase or decrease in these assumptions could lead to significant gains or losses in the fair value measurement.
The assumptions used in the measurement of the fair value of biological assets were as follow:
(i)
Average cycle of forest formation between
6
and
7
years;
(ii)
Effective area of forest from the
3
rd year of planting;
(iii)
The IMA consists of the estimated volume of production of wood with bark in m
3
per hectare, ascertained based on the genetic material used in each region, silvicultural practices and forest management, production potential, climate factors and soil conditions;
(iv)
The estimated average standard cost per hectare includes silvicultural and forest management expenses, applied to each year of formation of the biological cycle of the forests, plus the costs of land lease agreements and the opportunity cost of owning land;
(v)
The average gross selling prices of eucalyptus were based on specialized research on transactions carried out by the Company with independent third parties; and
(vi)
The discount rate corresponds to the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”).

The Company manages the financial and climate risks related to its agricultural activities in a preventive manner. To reduce the risks arising from edaphoclimatic factors, the weather is monitored through meteorological stations and, in the event of pests and diseases, our Department of Forestry Research and Development, an area specialized in physiological and phytosanitary aspects, has procedures to diagnose and act rapidly against any occurrences and losses (Note 4.8).
The Company has no biological assets pledged as collateral on December 31, 2025 and on December 31, 2024.

Refers to other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives such as servitude of passage and electricity.
The goodwill is based on expected future profitability supported by valuation reports, after the purchase price allocation.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units as presented in Note 28.4.
For the pulp cash-generating unit (“CGU”), the calculation of the value in use of non-financial assets is performed annually using the discounted cash flow method. In 2025 the Company used the strategic plan and the annual budget with projected increases to 2029 and the average rate in perpetuity of the cash generating units considering a nominal rate of
3.63
% p.a. from this date, based on historical information for previous years, economic and financial projections from each specific market in which the Company has operations, and additionally include official information disclosed by independent institutions and government agencies.
The discount rate, after taxes, adopted by Management was
8.87
% p.a., calculated based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”).
The assumptions in the table set forth below were also adopted:
Net average pulp price – Foreign market (US$/t)

Net average pulp price – Internal market (US$/t)
681.4
Average exchange rate (R$/US$)

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not identify the need to record any impairment provision for intangible assets.
For the Paper Cash‑Generating Unit (“CGU”), the recoverability test of assets is performed annually based on the estimated fair value less costs of disposal, determined through the application of EV/EBITDA market multiples, considering comparable companies in the same industry and the specific characteristics of the Company’s operations. Based on the analyses performed by the Company, no adjustment to reduce the carrying amounts of the assets to their recoverable amount (impairment) was identified in 2025.
If the post-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections of both cash-generating units had been
1
% higher than management’s estimates (
9.87
% instead of
8.87
%), the Company still would not need to recognize an impairment provision.
The Company assessed possible changes in price and exchange rate assumptions and did not identify any scenarios that would cause the carrying amount of the cash-generating units to exceed their recoverable amount.

The Company is a defendant in a Public Civil Action (“ACP”) regarding compensation for damages caused to federal highways due to the transportation of timber exceeding the permitted weight. Based on a recent decision by the Superior Court of Justice (“STJ”), which established the thesis of civil liability without clear and objective liquidation criteria, as well as the change of the monetary correction index from IGPM/FGV to SELIC, the Company reassessed the exposure amount of this action to approximately R$
352,442
. This estimate made by management and supported by its external legal advisors, is based on scenarios with similarity to infraction notices suffered by other companies and assessed according to the quantification criteria applied by the Federal Public Ministry (“MPF”). Given the absence of clear and objective criteria for measuring such claims from the MPF in similar cases, management’s current estimate may vary to a higher or lower amount, subject to the final decision by the MPF/TRF1 regarding the Company's case.
20.2.1 Tax and social securities
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had
631
(
673
as of December 31, 2024) tax proceedings whose likelihood of loss is considered possible, in the total amount of R$
10,417,734
(R$
9,837,082
as of December 31, 2024) for which no provision was recorded.
The other tax and social security lawsuits involve various taxes, such as IRPJ, CSLL, PIS, COFINS, ICMS, ISS, IRRF. These disputes primarily arise from differing interpretations of the applicable tax regulations and the information provided in the ancillary obligations.
The most significant tax cases are outlined below:
F-72
Table of Contents
(i)
Income Tax Assessment - IRPJ/CSLL - Swaps of Industrial and Forestry Assets: In December 2012, the Company received a tax assessment for income tax and social contribution, alleging unpaid tax on a capital gain in February 2007, the closing date of the transaction, when the Company executed an agreement with International Paper regarding a swap of industrial and forestry assets. On January 19, 2016, the Tax Federal Administrative Court (“CARF”) rejected, as per the casting vote of the CARF’s President, the appeal filed by the Company in the administrative process. The Company was notified of the decision on May 25, 2016 and, given the impossibility of further appeals and the consequent closure of the case at the administrative level, decided to pursue the discussion in the Judiciary. The lawsuit was ruled in favor of the Company's interests and the National Treasury's appeal is currently awaiting judgment at the lower court. In December 2023, pursuant to article 25, § 9ºA, of Law No. 14,689/23, the Active Debt Certificates were rectified to definitively cancel the amounts related to the tax assessment penalty and its charges. According to the Company and its external legal advisors the probability of loss in this case is possible, except for the provisioning of the amount equivalent to the contingent liability assumed arising from the business combination. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the estimated amount of the possible exposure is R$
1,861,899
(R$
1,688,690
as of December 31, 2024).
(ii)
Income tax assessment - IRPJ/CSLL: This refers to an administrative proceeding initiated in October 2023, resulting from tax assessments for IRPJ and CSLL issued against Suzano S.A., for the calendar year of 2019. The infractions alleged include: (i) nondeductible expenses; (ii) improper deduction of operating expenses; (iii) profits earned by the subsidiaries abroad; (iv) goodwill amortization; (v) lack of addition of bonus paid to directors to the CSLL calculation basis, and (vi) tax loss and negative CSLL basis. The Company filed an administrative objection, which was partially upheld. Currently, the Company filed a voluntary appeal, which was partially granted. The issuance of the decision is currently awaited. In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the total amount of the possible exposure is R$
1,008,823
(R$
920,628
as of December 31, 2024).
(iii)
Income Tax Assessment - IRPJ/CSLL - Disallowance of Depreciation, Amortization and Depletion Expenses – 2010 period: In December 2015, the Company received a tax assessment demanding the payment of IRPJ and CSLL. The assessment challenges the deductibility of depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses of 2010, which the Company had included in its income tax calculations. The Company filed an administrative appeal, which was partially upheld. This decision was subject to a voluntary appeal, filed by the Company in November 2017. The judgment was converted into a due diligence process, and currently, the Company is awaiting the completion of the due diligence. In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025 the total amount of the possible exposure is R$
931,979
(R$
875,466
as of December 31, 2024).
(iv)
Tax Assessment - IRPJ/CSLL: On October 5, 2020, the Company was notified of a Tax Assessment issued by the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service ("RFB") claiming the payment of IRPJ and CSLL credits, resulting from the remeasurement of the profit of its subsidiary Suzano Trading Ltd in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Based on the legal advisors hired to present the defense, the Company classifies, the risk of loss as possible with reference to the Company and, with reference to the Officers, also possible but with a higher chance of winning (possible to remote). The Company presented the administrative defense and, currently, the judgment was converted into a diligence. The objection was judged partially upheld, and the company will file a voluntary appeal regarding the portion that was unfavorable. In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible. In the year ended December 31, 2025 the total amount of the possible exposure is R$
663,188
(R$
609,548
as of December 31, 2024).
F-73
Table of Contents
(v)
PIS/COFINS – Goods and Services – Period of 2009 to 2011: In December 2013, the Company was assessed by the RFB demanding the collection of PIS and COFINS credits disallowed for allegedly not being linked to its operational activities. In the first instance, the objection filed by the Company was dismissed. A voluntary appeal was filed and it was partially upheld in April 2016. From this decision, the Company filed a special appeal, and certain divergences were admitted for consideration by the Superior Chamber of Tax Appeals (“CSRF”). The National Treasury also filed a special appeal with the Superior Chamber. The CSRF denied the National Treasury’s appeal and partially granted the Company’s appeal. The issuance of the CSRF’s decision is currently awaited. In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025 the total amount of the possible exposure is R$
213,286
(R$
201,199
as of December 31, 2024).
(vi)
Tax incentive - Agency for the Development of Northeastern Brazil (“ADENE”): In 2002, the Company applied for and was granted by the RFB the right to benefit from a reduction in the IRPJ and non-refundable additional taxes calculated on operating profit, for plants A and B (period from 2003 to 2013) and plant C (period from 2003 to 2012), all located in the Aracruz unit, under the condition of making new investments in its units located in the area covered by ADENE. In 2004, the Company received a notice from the extrajudicial administrator of the extinct Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast (“SUDENE”), informing it that the right to enjoy the benefit previously granted was deemed unfounded and would be revoked. In 2005, a tax assessment was issued demanding alleged amounts relating to the tax incentive enjoyed up to that point. After administrative discussion, the tax assessment was partially upheld recognizing the Company's right to benefit from the tax incentive until 2003. The Company's management, advised by its legal advisors, believes that the decision to cancel the referred tax benefits is incorrect and should not prevail, whether concerning the benefits already enjoyed or those not yet enjoyed until their respective final terms. Currently, the contingency is being discussed in the judicial sphere. The Company is awaiting the judgment of the appeal filed against the unfavorable decision. In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025 the total amount of the possible exposure is R$
159,012
(R$
150,869
as of December 31, 2024).
(vii)
Offsetting - IRRF - Period 2000: The Company filed a process to offset IRRF credits for the year ended December 31, 2000 against debts owed to the RFB. In April 2008, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service partially recognized the credit in favor of the Company. The Company filed a Voluntary Appeal with CARF against this decision and the judgment was converted into a due diligence process. In the judgment rendered at the second administrative instance, the Company’s appeal was partially granted. We are currently awaiting the issuance of the decision. In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025 the total amount of the possible exposure is R$
130,895
(R$
125,489
as of December 31, 2024).
(viii)
IRPJ/CSLL - Partial Approval – 1997 Period: The Company filed a process to offset credits arising from tax losses for the year 1997 against debts owed to the RFB . In March 2009, the tax authorities approved only R$
83,000
, resulting in a difference of R$
51,000
. The Company is still awaiting the conclusion of the analysis of the credits under administrative review following a favorable decision by CARF in August 2019, which upheld the voluntary appeal filed by the Company. For the remaining portion of the credit, the Company filed a lawsuit to discuss the matter which is currently awaiting judgment in the second instance of its appeal, filed after an unfavorable ruling. In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the total amount of the possible exposure is R$
128,393
(R$

Tax Assessment - IRPJ/CSLL: Administrative proceeding demanding the collection of IRPJ and CSLL for the 2015 calendar year. The infractions alleged include (i) transfer pricing; and (ii) non-deductible expenses. The Company filed an objection in January 2020, which was partially upheld. Following this decision, the Company filed a voluntary appeal, and the judgment was converted into a due diligence process. The appeal is currently pending judgment. In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible.

(x)
IRPJ/CSLL - Partial Approval – 2000 Period: In 2024, the Company submitted a request to offset credits arising from the negative balance calculated in the year 2000 against debts owed to the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (“RFB”). The RFB fully disallowed the tax credit. After presenting the defense and the appropriate appeals, the process ended unfavorably for the Company at the administrative level. The Attorney General's Office of the National Treasury (“PGFN”) filed a tax execution to collect the amounts, at which time the Company filed the appropriate motions to stay the tax execution, which were partially upheld. The Company has filed an Appeal, which is awaiting judgment. In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the estimated amount of exposure is R$
105,556
(R$
101,654
as of December 31, 2024).
(xi)
ICMS – Credits – Period 05/2014 to 12/2014: The Company is a party to a tax enforcement action filed by the State of São Paulo for the collection of ICMS related to the period from May 2014 to December 2014. The assessment arises from the alleged failure to reverse ICMS credits linked to the replacement of Electric Energy Invoice Statements originally issued by the power utility, as well as the alleged lack of bookkeeping of the referred invoices related to the entry of electric energy into the facility. After the Company was served, a Surety Bond was submitted and an extension of time was requested for filing the appropriate defenses (appeals against tax enforcement). The Company is currently awaiting notification to file the defenses in the tax enforcement action. In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the estimated exposure amounts to R$
118,867
(R$
98,197
as of December 31, 2024).

labor lawsuits, totaling R$
189,506
(
1,135
labor lawsuits, totaling R$
171,480
as of December 31, 2024).
The Company also has several lawsuits in which employees’ unions in the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, Maranhão, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul are included.
20.2.3 Civil, environmental and real estate
On December 31, 2025, the Company was a defendant in approximately
222
civil, environmental and real estate lawsuits, totaling R$
1,023,689
(
201
lawsuits totaling R$
5,065,714
as of December 31, 2024).
In general, the civil and environmental proceedings in which the Company, including its subsidiaries, is a defendant, are mainly related to discussions regarding eligibility for environmental licenses, repair of environmental damage, matters relating to indemnities, including those arising from discussions about contractual obligations, precautionary measures, possessory actions, damage repair and revision actions, actions aimed at the recovery of credits (collection actions, monitoring, execution, credit qualifications related to bankruptcy and judicial recovery), actions of social movements interest, such as landless workers, quilombola communities, indigenous people and fishers, and actions resulting from traffic accidents. The Company has a general civil liability insurance policy that aims to cover, within the limits contracted in the policy, any legal convictions arising from damages to third parties (including employees).
The most relevant civil cases are set forth below:
F-75
Table of Contents
(i)
The Company is involved in 3 Public Civil Actions (“ACPs”) filed by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (“MPF”) in which it requests (i) an injunction that the Company's trucks stop transporting wood on federal highways above the legal weight restrictions (ii) an increase in the fine for excess weight to be applied to Suzano and (iii) compensation for material damage caused to federal highways, the environment and the economic order and compensation for moral damage. One of the ACPs was judged partially well-founded and the Company filed an appeal to the competent court with a request to suspend the effects of the judgment, which is still pending assessment. The other two lawsuits were dismissed and an appeal is pending. In September 2021, both were suspended due to a decision by the STJ to evaluate the points of discussion in the form of a repetitive appeal. In December 2024, the STJ judged the repetitive appeals to allow the application of a double penalty (administrative and judicial), establishing a thesis authorizing the imposition of injunctive relief and civil liability. Appeals were filed over the past year, without any change to the challenged decision to date.
In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible.
(ii)
The company sued a competitor in the central-western region over the improper and unauthorized use of a variety of eucalyptus protected by intellectual property rights (cultivar) of the incorporated subsidiary Fibria. The prohibition on the cultivation of this biological asset by the competitor was protected by an injunction, which was confirmed in a judgment in favor of the Company, with the Company initiating the liquidation of the judgment. However, at the appeal stage and in an extended trial, there was a ruling against the Company recognizing a supposed incidental nullity of the cultivar, a decision that is currently subject to a motion for clarification. It should be noted that, in parallel, there is also a lawsuit in the Federal Court in which the competitor filed an action to annul the registration of the cultivar, but, to date, there has been no decision in this process determining the nullity or restricting the Company's right. In the Company’s opinion, supported by the opinions of its external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss in the case is assessed as possible.

However, at the appeal stage and in an extended trial, there was a ruling against the Company recognizing a supposed incidental nullity of the cultivar. Declaratory Embargos were filed, resulting in the suspension of the action until the final judgment of the annulment lawsuit pending before the Federal Court. A Special Appeal was filed, which was not admitted, leading to the filing of an Interlocutory Appeal (Agravo) against the decision denying the Special Appeal. As mentioned, in parallel, there is a proceeding before the Federal Court in which the competitor filed an action seeking the annulment of the cultivar registration; however, to date, the case is still pending evidentiary production, and there is no decision declaring the registration null or restricting the Company’s rights.
In the opinion of the Company’s external legal counsel, the likelihood of losing the case is possible.

Under the terms of the benefit plan agreement, for employees who have a salary above 10 Suzano reference units (“URS”), in addition to the
0.5
% contribution, the contributions of the Company matches the employees' contributions, and affect the portion of the salary that exceeds 10 URS, which can vary between

The Company's contributions to the employees are
0.5

From August 2020, employees who have a salary lower than 10 URS will be able to invest
0.5
% or
1
% of their nominal salary, and the Company will monitor the employee's contributions. The employee can choose to invest up to
12
% of their salary in the Suzano Prev pension plan, and the excess of Basic Contribution 1 or 2 may be invested in the supplementary contribution, where there is no counter-entry from the Company, and the employee must consider the two contributions within the limit of
12
% of their salary.
Access to the balance constituted by the Company's contributions only occurs upon dismissal, and is directly related to the length of the employment relationship.

22 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company grants members of the statutory and non-statutory board of directors, key employees and members of the Board of Directors (“Beneficiaries”) long-term share-based incentive plans, approved at the General Meeting with the objectives of: (i) aligning the interests of the beneficiaries with the interests of the Company and its shareholders, (ii) attracting, rewarding, retaining and incentivizing the beneficiaries to conduct the Company's business in a sustainable manner, within appropriate risk limits and aligned with the interests of the shareholders, and (iii) granting a financial incentive to the beneficiaries.
The plans granted by the Company are: (i) Phantom Shares Plan (“PS”), settled in in local currency and (ii) Restrict Shares Plan ("Performance Shares"), settled in shares.
The characteristics and measurement criteria of each plan are disclosed below:
22.1 Phantom shares plan
The number of phantom shares to be granted to each beneficiary is calculated based on a financial amount per beneficiary.
The beneficiary may only exercise the rights to the phantom shares once the vesting period has been completed, lasting up to
5
(five) years from the date of grant, in accordance with the characteristics of each plan.
The settlement of the phantom shares is in cash, and the amount will be calculated by multiplying the number of shares granted by the value of the share measured based on the average price of the last
90
(ninety) trading sessions, adjusted, when applicable, for the Company’s Total Shareholder Return ("TSR"), in accordance with the criteria established in each plan.
The TSR represents a market condition and its effects are incorporated into the fair value measurement of the phantom shares at the grant date.
Since phantom share plans are settled in cash, their fair values are measured at the end of each reporting period.
If beneficiaries leave the Company during the vesting period, they will lose the right to exercise the phantom shares.
The roll-forward arrangements are set out below:

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the average price of the share options exercised, including exercises resulting from termination of employment, was R$
56.57
.
22.2 Restricted shares plan
Each performance share corresponds to 1 (one) common, registered, book-entry share with no par value issued by the Company, to be delivered to the beneficiary once the conditions established in this plan have been met.
The acquisition of rights to the beneficiaries is subject to: (i) continued permanence of the beneficiaries as directors of the Company during the vesting period, (ii) achievement of the goals assigned in the programs and (iii) any other conditions determined by the Board of Directors in each grant made.
The vesting period may last up to
5
(five) years, starting from the date of grant, according to the characteristics of each plan.
The number of performance shares to be effectively delivered to each beneficiary will depend on the achievement of the goals linked to the respective programs and contracts, and will be determined after the vesting period. This calculation will also consider the Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”), which is an indicator used to measure the performance of the shares of the group of companies characterized as competitors of Suzano.
If beneficiaries leave the Company before fulfilling the conditions for obtaining rights, they lose the right to exercise the restricted share option.

24.3 Reserves
24.3.1 Capital reserve
F-82
Table of Contents
They consist of amounts received by the Company arising from transactions with shareholders that do not pass through the income statement and may be used to absorb losses when they exceed profit reserves and redemptions, reimbursements and purchases of shares.
24.3.2 Income reserves
Reserves are constituted by the allocation of the Company's profits, after the allocation for the payment of the minimum mandatory dividends and after the allocation to the various profit reserves, as set forth below:
(i)
Legal: established based on
5
% (five percent) of the net profit of each fiscal year, in accordance with Article 193 of Brazilian Law No. 6,404/76, and limited to
20
% (twenty percent) of the share capital. In any year in which the balance of the legal reserve, combined with the amounts of capital reserves, exceeds
30
% (thirty percent) of the share capital, the allocation of a portion of net income to the legal reserve will not be mandatory. The use of this reserve is restricted to offsetting losses and increasing share capital, aiming to ensure the integrity of the share capital. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the balance of this reserve was R$
2,517,519
(R$
1,847,109
as of December 31, 2024).
(ii)
Capital increase: established based on up to
90
% (ninety percent) of the remaining balance of net income for the year, limited to
80
% (eighty percent) of the share capital, pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, after the allocation to the legal reserve and the minimum mandatory dividends. The purpose of this reserve is to ensure the Company maintains adequate operating conditions. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company allocated R$
2,807,632
to the capital increase (Note 1.2.2), ending the year with a balance of R$
10,128,485
(R$
2,807,632
as of December 31, 2024).
(iii)
Special statutory: established based on
10
% (ten percent) of the remaining balance of net income for the year, with the purpose of ensuring the continuity of dividend distribution, up to the limit of
20
% (twenty percent) of the share capital. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the balance of this reserve was R$
2,972,996
(R$
1,847,109
as of December 31, 2024).
(iv)
Tax incentives: established under the terms of Article 195-A of Law No. 6,404/76, as amended by Law No. 11,638/07 and based on a proposal from the Company’s management bodies. The Company allocates the portion of net income arising from donations or government subsidies to investments, and this portion is excluded from the basis for calculating the mandatory minimum dividend. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the balance of this reserve was R$
1,534,462
(R$
1,319,908
as of December 31, 2024). This increase is due to the constitution of reserves related to the benefits of Exploration Profit (note 12.3) and Reinvestment. Exploration Profit, applicable to the manufacturing units located in the states of Espírito Santo, Maranhão, and Bahia (under Sudene’s approval), as well as the plant in Belém do Pará (under Sudam’s approval), contributed to a reserve of R$
214,555
in the year ended December 31, 2025. Regarding the Reinvestment incentive, there was no use of this benefit during the year, which explains the maintenance of the reserve at R$
14,574
, related to the previous year. s for the investment subsidy tax incentive, in accordance with Law No. 14,789/2023, the Company taxed the results equivalent to these amounts, and no new reserve was constituted for this tax incentive in the current year. Only the maintenance of the reserve in the amount of R$
291,937
was recorded, referring to the benefit from a period prior to 2024, under the rules in effect before Law No. 14,789/2023.
(v)
Investment reserve: established in accordance with Article 196 of Law No. 6,404/76, as amended by Law No. 11,638/07, profit retention is carried out based on a capital budget. This practice aims to meet the needs of the Company’s investment plan, previously approved at the Annual General Meeting. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company allocated R$
2,192,368
to capital increase (Note 1.2.2), ending the year with a balance of R$
2,964,772
(R$
5,157,140
as of December 31, 2024).

28 SEGMENT INFORMATION
28.1 Criteria for identifying operating segments
The Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Executive Officers evaluate the performance of the Company’s business segments through the Adjusted EBITDA. The Company has revised the segment note to present Adjusted EBITDA as its performance measure.
The operating segments defined by the Company’s management are set forth below:
(i)
Pulp: comprised of the production and sale of hardwood eucalyptus pulp and fluff pulp, mainly to supply the foreign market.
(ii)
Paper: comprises the production and sale of paper to meet the demands of both the domestic and foreign markets. Consumer goods (tissue) sales are classified under this segment due to their immateriality.
Information related to total assets by reportable segment is not disclosed, as it is not included in the set of information made available to the Company’s management, which makes investment decisions and determines the allocation of resources on a consolidated basis.
In addition, with respect to geographical information related to non-current assets, the Company does not disclose such information, as all property, plant and equipment, biological and intangible assets are substantially in Brazil.
