EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The most challenging scenario ever observed in the Chinese pulp market at the end of the previous quarter worsened during the third quarter of 2024, adversely affecting the realized prices in the segment. The quarter was also marked by the appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL and the increase in sales volume, contributing to the increase in net revenue. Additionally, operational performance remained in line with the plan, with cash cost of production (excluding the effect of scheduled maintenance downtimes) slightly higher than in the previous quarter, partly due to the exchange rate effect. This combination of factors resulted in an adjusted EBITDA from pulp slightly higher than in 2Q24 (+3%). At the paper business unit, sales volume increased chiefly due to seasonality and allocation strategy between markets and segments, while prices remained practically stable (+1%). As such, consolidated adjusted EBITDA in the quarter totaled R$6.5 billion, while operating cash flow reached R$4.4 billion.

As for financial management, net debt in USD stood at US$12.9 billion, in a quarter marked by significant investments aimed at generating significant and sustainable value in the long term. Leverage in USD, on the other hand, experienced another decline to 3.1 times, which is explained by the increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the last 12 months. The foreign exchange hedging policy continued to play its part, with the operational cash flow hedge presenting a positive cash inflow of R$0.1 billion, despite a further depreciation of the average BRL in the period.

In line with the advances in its strategy, under the "Being an important player in pulp" and "Being the best in class in the total pulp cost vision," the new Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit, which began operations on July 21st, has demonstrated efficiency beyond expectations in the progression of the learning curve and has already contributed to the reduction of the consolidated cash cost in 3Q24. The previously disclosed estimates on the production volume of the new mill remain valid, with the ramp-up expected to be completed in 9 months, approximately 900 thousand tons expected in 2024, reaching 2.0 million tons by the end of 12 months of operations. Finally, regarding the financial execution of the project, the Company has completed about 93% of the total capex disbursement, with R$1.5 billion remaining to be paid between 4Q24 and 2025.

PULP BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

PULP SALES VOLUME AND REVENUE

The third quarter of 2024 was marked by a scenario of very dynamic pulp prices. From the supply perspective, new capacities were added in Brazil and China and unscheduled downtimes decreased in 3Q24 compared to 2Q24. On the demand side, in the European and North American markets, sanitary papers continued to perform well, in contrast to the lower demand for printing, writing and specialty papers, given the low seasonality during the holiday period.

In China, the scenario of tight margins for paper producers, who have been unable to raise their prices since recent quarters, combined with the news on the startup of two new projects (Suzano's Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit and Liansheng in China), have led buyers to significantly reduce pulp purchases since the end of the second quarter of 2024, resulting in a reduction in the prices negotiated for softwood and hardwood pulp as from early August.

At the end of the quarter, following two consecutive months of declining pulp prices, paper producers resumed their purchasing activities, normalizing volumes due to a strong production pace and pulp inventories falling below the historical average at Chinese ports. According to SCI, the production of sanitary paper remained at the high levels seen in 2Q24. Meanwhile, the production of paperboard grew by 2%, whereas a 3% decline was observed for printing and writing paper compared to the previous quarter.

In Europe, according to Utipulp, the consumption of hardwood pulp fell by 9% compared to 2Q24, reflecting the previously mentioned impact of European seasonality due to the holiday period. In North America, the sanitary paper market has remained healthy, despite concerns about the prices of converted products due to the economic slowdown and inflation.

Average PIX/FOEX prices of hardwood pulp decreased 11% in China and increased 2% in Europe in 3Q24 vs. 2Q24. The difference between softwood and hardwood pulp prices in the quarter was USD132/t in China and USD230/t in Europe, strengthening the shift from softwood pulp to hardwood pulp.

Suzano’s pulp sales increased 4% from 2Q24, due to higher demand from Asia, totaling 2,635 thousand tons. The increase from 3Q23 was 6% highlighting the increases observed in Europe and North America.

Average net price in USD of pulp sold by Suzano was US$671/t, decreasing 4% from 2Q24 and increasing 23% from 3Q23. In the export market, average net price charged by the Company was US$670/t, down 4% from 2Q24 and up 23% from 3Q23. Average net price in BRL was R$3,720/ton in 3Q24, up 3% from 2Q24, due to the appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL (6%). Compared to 3Q23, the 40% increase was mainly due to the higher average net price in USD (23%) and the increase in average USD versus average BRL (14%).

Net revenue from pulp increased 6% from 2Q24, due to the appreciation of average USD against average BRL (6%) and higher sales (+4%), partially offset by lower net average price in USD (-4%). Compared to 3Q23, revenue increased 48% mainly due to the higher net average price in USD (+23%), the appreciation of average USD against average BRL (14%) and higher sales volume (6%).

PULP CASH COST

As disclosed in the Material Fact Notice on July 21st, 2024, the Company began operations of the new pulp production mill in Ribas do Rio Pardo on that date. The non-recurring effect of the costs related to the start-up of the mill is broken down in the chart below.

Pulp Cash Cost
(R$/ton)

+10%

Cash cost excluding downtime in 3Q24 stood at R$863/t, an increase of +4% compared to 2Q24, due to: i) higher consumption of inputs, mainly energy (especially fuel oil), associated with specific events of lower operational stability in some mills; ii) higher cost of wood, mainly due to the start-up of the Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit (supply mix effect, given higher unit cost due to ramp-up), in addition to higher logistics services cost, partially offset by better operational performance in harvesting; and iii) appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL (+6%). The negative factors of cash cost were partially offset by the greater dilution of fixed costs and higher revenue from energy sales, both benefited from the start-up of Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit.

Consolidated Pulp Cash Cost ex-maintenance (R$/ton)1

1Excludes the impact of maintenance and administrative downtimes.

Cash cost excluding downtime in 3Q24 remained stable compared to 3Q23, due to: i) the reduced cost of wood, which is primarily explained by increased harvesting productivity, a shorter average supply radius and lower specific consumption; and ii) lower prices of chemicals and energy (caustic soda and natural gas). The positive effects on cash cost were offset by the appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL (+14%) and by the higher amount of fixed costs (maintenance and labor), despite the greater dilution due to the start-up of the Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit.

Pulp adjusted¹ EBITDA (R$/t)	2,162	2,176	-1%	1,172	85%	1,827

1Excludes non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA from pulp increased 3% from 2Q24 due to: i) the appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL (6%); and ii) higher sales volume (4%). These effects were partially offset by the lower average net pulp price in USD (-4%) and higher cash COGS, due to the start-up of the new Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit non-recurrent impact, higher cash production cost, greater impact of scheduled maintenance downtimes and higher logistics cost, in turn due to higher sales volume and the effect of exchange rate fluctuations. Adjusted EBITDA per ton remained practically stable, as the positive exchange rate effect was offset by the lower price in USD and higher cash COGS per ton.

Compared to 3Q23, the 96% increase in Adjusted EBITDA from pulp is due to: i) the increase in net average price in USD (23%); ii) the appreciation of average USD against average BRL (14%); and iii) the higher sales volume (6%). These factors were partially offset by higher cash COGS (driven by the start-up of the Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit and higher logistics costs, partially offset by lower cash production costs and lower impact of scheduled maintenance downtimes) and by higher SG&A expenses (due to the appreciation of the average USD, higher sales volume and other factors - for more details, see the Selling Expenses section). Adjusted EBITDA per ton increased 85% due to the same factors excluding sales volumes.

PAPER BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

The following data and analyses incorporate the joint results of the paper and consumer goods (tissue) businesses.

PAPER SALES VOLUME AND REVENUE

According to data published by Brazil's Forestry Industry Association (Ibá), demand for Printing & Writing paper in Brazil, including imports, increased 17% in the first two months of 3Q24 compared to the first two months of the previous quarter, and increased 7% compared to the same period last year.

In both comparisons above, a significant portion of the demand increase is explained by the growth in sales in the coated paper lines in the domestic market, driven by the election cycle. In the uncoated paper lines, demand remained weak, as expected, due to the weaker cycle of the National Textbook Program. In the cut size segment, demand remains resilient in the domestic market, impacted by macroeconomic performance and the return of in-person work.

Regarding the international markets served by the Company, demand continued with healthy dynamics in North America and Latin America. In addition to the effects of inventory rebuilding and the low baseline for comparison in the same period of 2023, there was a positive boost from local factors, such as elections in several countries, including the United States. On the other hand, in Europe, apart from the summer period when seasonality is weak, demand has already stabilized following a stronger start to the year driven by inventory rebuilding activities.

Demand for paperboard in Brazil, Suzano’s flagship market for this product line, increased 13% in the first two months of 3Q24 compared to the previous quarter and 18% compared to the same period in 2023. This growth is the result of strong demand, especially in the food and pharmaceutical segments, in addition to the positive impact of the normalization of inventories across the chain.

Consolidating the market segments mentioned above (paper market accessible to Suzano), domestic sales increased 11% in the first two months of 3Q24 compared to 3Q23, according to Ibá data. In the context of strong demand in the domestic market, the Company's results were supported by the increase in sales volume in the domestic market and by the commercial strategy of allocation between the different segments of activity.

3Q24 EARNINGS RELEASE

Finally, we continue to expand the exclusive go-to-market model of the Company, advancing on expanding the client base and expanding the regions served. In this regard, note the completion of the acquisition of the Pine Bluff and Waynesville assets in the USA, marking Suzano's entry into the North American paperboard and packaging market. This is a significant milestone in our international expansion strategy and the growing focus on the packaging markets. Moreover, the Company remain focused on continuously investing in a portfolio of innovative products aimed at the packaging and single-use plastic replacement segments.

With the acquisition of Kimberly Clark's tissue business in Brazil, the consumer goods segment has accounted for a bigger share of the paper business results since 3Q23.

Suzano’s paper sales (printing & writing, paperboard and tissue) in the domestic market totaled 262 thousand tons in 3Q24, up 10% from the previous quarter, driven by the increase in Printing & Writing (uncoated and coated) paper sales and in paperboard. Compared to 3Q23, the 12% growth was due to the increase in sales of Printing & Writing (mainly coated paper) and paperboard, given the beginning of the preparation of the printing sector for the electoral municipal cycle and the increase in tissue volume.

International paper sales totaled 98 thousand tons, corresponding to 27% of total sales volume in 3Q24. The increase of 4% from 2Q24 in export sales volume was a result of the higher sales volume of uncoated papers, associated with the commercial allocation strategy between markets and segments. This result was achieved despite the logistical challenges, related to congestion at ports, which impacted service levels. Compared to 3Q23, the increase was 2%, still a reflection of the commercial strategy of allocating volumes between markets (export and domestic) and segments.

Average net price increased by 1% compared to the previous quarter due to the appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL and the increase in the price of coated paper in the domestic market. Compared to 3Q23, the 3% decrease was mainly due to reductions across all segments in both domestic and international markets, where prices were still above historical levels.

Adjusted EBITDA from paper increased 10% from 2Q24, mainly due to higher sales volume (+8%), appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL (+6%), and higher average net price (+1%). These effects were partially offset by higher cash COGS (greater impact of scheduled maintenance downtimes). Adjusted EBITDA per ton increased 2%, due to the effect of foreign exchange and the increase in price, partially offset by higher cash COGS per ton, as mentioned earlier.

Compared to 3Q23, the 5% increase was mainly due to the 9% growth in sales volume, the decrease in cash COGS and the appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL (+14%), partially offset by the decrease in the average price and the increase in SG&A expenses. Adjusted EBITDA per ton decrease -3% due to the drop in the average price and higher SG&A expenses per ton, partially offset by the foreign exchange effect.

NET REVENUE

Suzano’s net revenue in 3Q24 was R$12,274 million, 79% of which came from exports (vs. 80% in 2Q24 and 75% in 3Q23). In relation to 2Q24, net revenue increased 7% due to the appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL (+6%) and higher sales volume (+4%), partially offset by the lower net average pulp price in USD (-4%). The 37% increase in consolidated net revenue in relation to 3Q23 is mainly due to the higher net average pulp price in USD (+23%), the appreciation of average USD against average BRL (+14%), and the higher sales volume (increase of 6% and 9% in the pulp and paper segments, respectively).

Cash COGS in 3Q24 totaled R$4,814 million, or R$1,607/ton. Compared to 2Q24, cash COGS increased by 14%, mainly due to higher costs, which are explained by the following factors: i) non-recurring impact of the start-up of the Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit, directly recorded in this line item; ii) higher cash cost of pulp production (as detailed earlier); iii) greater impact of scheduled maintenance downtimes; and iv) higher logistics costs (higher sales volumes and exchange rate). Moreover, there was the impact of higher sales volume and the appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL of 6% on the items most exposed to foreign currency (i.e. for chemicals, energy and ocean freight). On a per-ton basis, cash COGS increased 9% due to the same factors excluding sales volumes.

Compared to 3Q23, cash COGS increased by 9%, mainly due to higher sales volume (increase of 9% and 6% in the paper and pulp segments, respectively) and higher costs, explained by the following items: i) non-recurring impact of the start-up of the Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit, recorded directly in this line item; and ii) higher logistics costs (volume, exchange rate and higher internal freight costs). These factors in cost were partially offset by the lower cash cost of pulp production and the lower impact of scheduled maintenance downtimes, as mentioned earlier. Finally, there was the negative impact of the 14% appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL on the items most exposed to foreign currency (i.e. part of chemicals, energy and sea freight). On a per-ton basis, cash COGS increased 2% year on year due to the same factors excluding sales volumes.

Cash selling expenses increased by 6% compared to 2Q24, mainly due to: i) the higher sales volume; ii) the appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL (6%) on international logistics expenses (inland freight); and iii) higher costs with third-party services (notably marketing related to Consumer Goods unit (tissue), labor and insurance). On a per-ton basis, cash selling expenses increased 2% due to the same factors excluding sales volumes.

In relation to 3Q23, cash selling expenses increased 18% mainly due to: i) appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL (14%) mainly on international logistics expenses (inland freight); ii) higher sales volume; iii) higher logistics expenses in USD (greater inland expenditure abroad); and iv) higher expenses with labor and third-party services, as well as higher storage expenses, largely associated with the acquisition of Kimberly Clark's tissue assets in Brazil. Cash selling expenses per ton increased 11%, due to the same factors mentioned above excluding sales volumes.

Cash general and administrative expenses/t (R$/t)	178	182	-2%	164	9%	179

Compared to 2Q24, the 2% increase in cash general and administrative expenses is mainly due to higher spending on third-party services (notably for consulting and auditing, mainly associated with recently announced acquisitions - mainly related to Pactiv assets). This factor was partially offset by lower personnel expenses (variable compensation). On the other hand, cash general and administrative expenses per ton decreased 2% due to the increase in sales volume.

Compared to 3Q23, cash general and administrative expenses increased 16% mainly due to: i) higher spending on third-party services related to consulting and auditing associated with recently announced acquisitions, in addition to marketing and IT expenses; and ii) higher personnel expenses. On a per-ton basis, the 9% increase is explained by the same factors.

Other operating income (expenses) was an expense of R$8 million in 3Q24, compared to an income of R$464 million in 2Q24 and an expense of R$10 million in 3Q23. The variation in relation to 2Q24 is mainly due to the absence of the updated fair value of biological assets (which happens in the second and fourth quarters of each year). Compared to 3Q23, the variation was due to various events of low materiality.

The 4% increase in Adjusted EBITDA in 3Q24 compared to 2Q24 is mainly explained by: i) the appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL (+6%) and ii) the higher sales volume (+4%). These factors were mainly offset by the increase in cash COGS, as explained before, as well as by the lower average net pulp price in USD (-4%). Adjusted EBITDA per ton remained stable due to the same factors, excluding sales volume.

Compared to 3Q23, the 77% increase Adjusted EBITDA was due to: i) the higher average net pulp price in USD (+23%); ii) the appreciation of the average USD against the average BRL (+14%); and iii) the higher sales volume (+6%). Adjusted EBITDA per ton increased 66% due to the same factors, excluding sales volumes.

3Includes commodity hedge and embedded derivatives.

Financial expenses increased 36% from 2Q24 due to the reduction in capitalized interest from the resources invested in the execution of the Cerrado Project, which started in July, offset by the depreciation of the average BRL during the period. Compared to 3Q23, financial expenses increased 33%, mainly due to the decrease in capitalized interest, as previously explained, and the increase in interest expenses in foreign currency explained by the 9% appreciation of the average USD against the BRL.

Financial income decreased 8% compared to 2Q24, mainly due to the reduction in other non-recurring financial income for the quarter, which in turn was a result of the inflation adjustment of taxes and federal contributions to be refunded. Compared to 3Q23, the result remained stable, given that the reduction of interest on financial investments by 6% (lower offshore cash position) was offset by the higher result in other revenues.

Inflation adjustment and exchange variation had a positive impact of R$1,231 million on the Company’s financial result due to the 2% appreciation of the BRL against USD at the close of 2Q24, which affected foreign currency debt (US$12,809 million at the end of 3Q24). This effect was partially offset by the negative result of exchange variation on other balance sheet items in foreign currency.

Note that the accounting impact of exchange variation on foreign currency debt has a cash impact only on the respective maturities.

Derivative operations resulted in an income of R$782 million in 3Q24, due to the positive impact of stronger BRL. The mark-to-market adjustment of derivative instruments on September 30th, 2024 generated a loss of R$1,396 million, compared to a loss of R$1,848 million on June 30th, 2024, up R$452 million. Note that the impact of BRL appreciation on the derivatives portfolio generates a cash impact only upon the respective maturities. The net effect on cash, which refers to the maturity of derivative operations in the second quarter, was a positive R$331 million (R$216 million gain on debt hedge, R$99 million gain on cash flow hedge and R$16 million gain from commodities).

Page 19 of 41

As a result of the above factors, net financial result, considering all financial expense and income lines, was an income of R$867 million in 3Q24, compared to an expense of R$11,074 million in 2Q24 and an expense of R$3,494 million in 3Q23.

2Hedge program related to capex in BRL (ZCC) and EUR (NDF) of the Cerrado Project. Starting in September 2024, there is no foreign currency exposure in the CAPEX disbursement for the Cerrado Project.

3Includes commodity hedging and embedded derivatives.

The Company’s foreign exchange exposure policy seeks to minimize the volatility of its cash generation and ensure greater flexibility in cash flow management. Currently, the policy stipulates that surplus dollars may be partially hedged (at least 40% and up to 75% of exchange variation exposure over the next 24 months) using plain vanilla instruments such as Zero Cost Collars (ZCC) and Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDF). At the end of 3Q24, 73% of the exchange variation exposure was covered.

Considering the foreign exchange exposure related to Capex in the Cerrado Project, since approximately 67% of Capex is pegged to local currency, the Board of Directors approved on October 28th, 2021 a program for contracting additional specific hedge operations to protect from such exposure. The program approved (established in the Derivatives Management Policy available on the Investor Relations website) initially involved a maximum amount (notional) of up to US$1 billion and a term of operations of up to 36 months. On July 27th, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of the program, increasing the maximum notional amount to US$1.5 billion while maintaining the previously established term. To ensure transparency regarding the Cerrado Project's hedge program, since 4Q21 the Company has been prominently disclosing the operations contracted.

Since about 33% of the Capex of the Cerrado Project is denominated in EUR, in 3Q22, the Company contracted hedge operations through NDFs to protect the exposure in EUR of the Capex of the Cerrado Project, converting it into USD. This type of hedge is established in the Derivatives Management Policy available on the Investor Relations website. After the 36-month period since approval, the hedge program for the Cerrado Project was concluded in September 2024.

ZCC transactions establish minimum and maximum limits for the exchange rate that minimize adverse effects in the event of significant appreciation of the BRL. As such, if the exchange rate is within such limits, the Company neither pays nor receives any financial adjustments. This characteristic allows for capturing greater benefits from export revenue in a potential scenario of BRL appreciation versus USD within the range contracted. In cases of extreme BRL appreciation, the Company is protected by the minimum limits, which are considered appropriate for the operation. However, this protection instrument also limits, temporarily and partially, potential gains in scenarios of extreme BRL depreciation when exchange rates exceed the maximum limits contracted.

3Q24 EARNINGS RELEASE

On September 30th, 2024, the outstanding notional value of operations involving forward USD sales through ZCCs related to Cash Flows was US$6,893 million, with an average forward rate ranging from R$5.25 to R$6.06 and maturities distributed between October 2024 and June 2026. On the same date, the outstanding notional value of operations involving forward USD sales through NDFs was US$730 million, whose maturities are distributed between October 2024 and June 2026 and with an average rate of R$5.68. In 3Q24, operational, cash flow and Cerrado Project hedge operations resulted in a gain of R$634 million. The mark-to-market (“MtM” or “fair value”) value of these operations was negative by R$867 million, exclusively related to cash flow operating hedge.

The following table presents a sensitivity analysis of the cash impact that the Company could have on its cash flow hedge portfolios (ZCC and NDF) if the exchange rate remains the same as at the end of 3Q24 (BRL/USD = 5.45) in the coming quarters, as well as the projected cash impact for R$0.10 variations below / above the strike of put/call options, respectively, defined in each quarter.

To mitigate the effects of exchange and interest rate variations on its debt and its cash flows, the Company also uses currency and interest rate swaps. Swap contracts are entered into considering different interest rates and inflation indices in order to mitigate the mismatch between financial assets and liabilities.

On September 30th, 2024, the Company had an outstanding notional amount of US$4,713 million in swap contracts as shown in the table below. In 3Q24, the result of debt hedge transactions was an income of R$199 million, mainly due to stronger BRL. The mark-to-market adjustment (fair value) of these operations was a loss of R$607 million.

A portion of the forestry partnership agreements and standing timber supply agreements is denominated in USD per cubic meter of standing timber, adjusted by U.S. inflation measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is not related to inflation in the economic environment where the forests are located and, hence, constitutes an embedded derivative. This instrument, presented in the table above, consists of sale’s swap contracts of the variations in the US-CPI during the period of the contracts. See note 4 of the 3Q24 Financial Statements for more details and for a sensitivity analysis of the fair value in case of a sharp rise in the US-CPI and USD. On September 30th, 2024, the outstanding notional value of the operation was US$140 million. The result from this swap in 3Q24 was a gain of R$9 million. The mark-to-market (fair value) adjustment of these operations generated a gain of R$76 million at the end of the quarter.

The Company is also exposed to the price of some commodities and, therefore, constantly assesses the contracting of derivative financial instruments to mitigate such risks. On September 30th, 2024, the outstanding notional value of these operations was US$221 million. The result of these hedges in 3Q24 was a loss of R$60 million. The mark-to-market (fair value) adjustment of these operations generated a gain of R$2 million at the end of the quarter.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

In 3Q24, the Company posted net income of R$3,237 million, compared to net loss of R$3,766 million in 2Q24 and R$729 million in 3Q23. The positive variation in relation to 2Q24 was mainly due to the positive financial result, which was explained by the positive impact of stronger BRL on debt and derivative operations (in contrast to the significant negative result registered in the previous quarter), in addition to the increase in net revenue. These effects were partially offset basically by the IR/CSLL expense (primarily impacting the positive results of exchange rate variation on debt and mark-to-market adjustments of derivatives), higher COGS, and negative variation in other operating income/expenses, which was due to the absence of the revaluation of the biological asset.

Page 23 of 41

3Q24 EARNINGS RELEASE

The variation in relation to 3Q23 is also explained by the positive variation in financial result (driven by stronger BRL on debt and derivative operations vs. weaker BRL in 3Q23) and the increase in net revenue, as explained earlier. The aforementioned factors were partially offset by the negative amount of deferred IR/CSLL (compared to the positive amount in 3Q23, due to the high negative result of exchange rate variation on debt and mark-to-market of derivatives) and by increases in COGS and SG&A expenses.

1Excluding non-recurring items.

On September 30th, 2024, gross debt totaled R$87.8 billion and was composed of 91% long-term maturities and 9% short-term maturities. Foreign currency debt corresponded to 80% of the Company's total debt at the end of the quarter. The percentage of gross debt in foreign currency, considering the effect of debt hedge, was 89%. Compared to 3Q23, gross debt decreased 1%, mainly due to the amortization of principal and interest and a positive foreign exchange variation of R$ 1.371 million, partially offset by the accrual of interest and new funding during the period. Suzano ended 3Q24 with 43% of total debt linked to ESG instruments.

Suzano contracts debt in foreign currency as a natural hedge, since net operating cash generation is mostly denominated in foreign currency (USD) due to its predominant status as an exporter. This structural exposure allows the Company to match loans and financing payments in USD with receivable flows from sales.

Gross Debt Evolution (R$ million)

1Corresponding mainly to transaction costs (issue, funding, goodwill, discount and loss on business combinations, etc.).

On September 30th, 2024, the total average cost of debt in USD was 4.9% p.a. (considering the debt in BRL adjusted by the market swap curve), compared to 5.1% p.a. on June 30, 2024. The average term of consolidated debt at the end of the quarter was 77 months, compared to 78 months at the end of 2Q24.

2Considers the portion of debt with currency swaps. The original debt was 80% denominated in USD and 20% in BRL.

Cash and cash equivalents and financial investments on September 30th, 2024 amounted to R$17.6 billion, 24% of which were in foreign currency, allocated to remunerated account or in short-term fixed-income investments abroad. The remaining 76% was invested in local currency fixed-income bonds (mainly CDBs, but also in government bonds and others), remunerated at the CDI rate.

On September 30th, 2024, the company also had a stand-by credit facility totaling R$6.9 billion (US$1.3 billion) available through February 2027. This facility strengthens the company's liquidity position and can be withdrawn during times of uncertainty. As a result, the cash and equivalents of R$17.6 billion plus the stand-by credit facilities amounted to a readily available cash position of R$24.5 billion on September 30th, 2024. Moreover, the Company has a financing agreement with IFC (US$350 million) and Finnvera (US$800 million) related to the Cerrado Project, as per the Notices to the Market of November 1, 2022 and December 22, 2022, which has not yet been withdrawn, further strengthening its liquidity position.

On September 30th, 2024, net debt stood at R$70.2 billion (US$12.9 billion), compared to R$66.6 billion (US$12.0 billion) on June 30th, 2024. The increase is mainly explained by higher disbursements related to share buybacks, acquisitions of land and forestry assets and acquisition of equity interest in the company Lenzing. For more details, see the Free Cash Flow section.

Financial leverage, measured as the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA in BRL, stood at 3.2 times on September 30th, 2024 (3.5 times on June 30th, 2024). The same ratio in USD (the measure established in Suzano’s financial policy), fell to 3.1 times on June 30th, 2024 (3.2 times on June 30th, 2024).

CAPEX

In 3Q24, capital expenditure (cash basis) totaled R$5,733 million. The 45% increase compared to 2Q24 was mainly due to: i) the completion of the acquisition of land and forests totaling 70 thousand hectares, managed by BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group, for R$2,123 million (as per the Material Fact notice dated July 31, 2024); ii) higher expenses with forest maintenance, mainly related to the increased volume of standing timber purchases from third parties; iii) higher expenses with industrial maintenance, which is explained by the disbursement schedule; iv) increased payment flow for projects announced on October 26, 2023 (fluff expansion, tissue, and new boiler in Aracruz). These factors were partially offset by lower investments in the Cerrado Project, in line with its disbursement curve.

Regarding 3Q23, the 30% increase is mainly due to i) the increase in disbursement for land and forests given the completion of the deal for land and forests as mentioned earlier; ii) increased forest maintenance associated with the start of forest operations at the Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit; iii) higher expenses with the strategic projects announced on October 26th, 2023 in Espírito Santo (new tissue mill in Aracruz and new biomass boiler - item "Others") and the fluff production expansion project (line item - 'Expansion and Modernization'). These factors were partially offset by: i) lower expenses with the Cerrado Project; ii) the decrease in the Expansion and Modernization line due to the completion of the energy efficiency project at the Jacareí mill; and iii) lower expenses with industrial maintenance.

2Considers costs of capitalized loans paid (3Q24: R$81 million | 2Q24: R$425 million | 3Q23: R$305 million), with no impact on FCL as it is accounted for with the opposite sign in the Total Capex line item.

3Considers interest paid on debt and interest received on financial investments.

4Free cash flow prior to dividend and interest on own capital payments, share buyback program and capex ex-maintenance (accrual basis).

Adjusted Free Cash Flow in 3Q24 was R$3,833 million, compared to R$1,922 million in 2Q24 and R$1,183 million in 3Q23. Compared to the previous period, the indicator increased by 99% mainly due to: i) positive cash adjustment of derivatives (versus the negative result in the previous quarter); ii) lower sustaining capex on accrual basis; and iii) higher Adjusted EBITDA. These effects were partially offset by the higher concentration of interest payments in the period.

Compared to 3Q23, Adjusted Free Cash Flow decreased 224%, due to the higher adjusted EBITDA, lower interest disbursements and greater release of working capital, mainly due to the increase in suppliers (the start-up of the Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit, increasing the purchase volume). These effects were partially offset by the lower positive cash adjustment of derivatives and higher sustaining capex on an accrual basis.
