Proceeds from said financing will be used to finance a part of the installment in cash and combined exports of the Companies.

 

ii) Approval of the operation

 

On June 1, 2018, the Company received notice of the Federal Trade Commission, a competitive authority in the United States, granting early conclusion of the transaction analysis between Suzano and Fibria, which represents the authorization of the unrestricted operation in the United States of America.

 

On July 26, 2018, Suzano’s Board of Directors and Fiscal Council approved, among other matters, the conclusion of the Protocol and Justification between Suzano, Fibria Celulose SA and Eucalipto Holding SA, which establishes the terms and conditions of the corporate reorganization that will allow the combination of the operations and shareholding bases of Suzano and Fibria, object of the Commitment of Voting and Assumption of Obligations celebrated on March 15, 2018 and disclosed through the Company’s Relevant Fact of March 16, 2018 (Note 1.1 b) i)).

2                             Presentation of the Unaudited condensed consolidated interim

 

2.1       Preparation basis and presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was prepared and is presented in accordance with international standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”).

 

The interim information was prepared using the historical cost as the basis of value, except for certain financial assets and liabilities and biological assets that are measured at fair value.

 

The Company affirms that all the information relevant to its interim information is reported and that it corresponds to that used by the Management for its administration.

 

2.1.1                     Condensed consolidated

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was prepared based on the information provided by Suzano and its subsidiaries on the reporting date, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting practices and policies, except for Futuragene PLC., whose reporting date is August 31, 2018, but whose information does not have significant impact on consolidated result.

 

The subsidiaries are consolidated as from the date of ownership control up to the date control ceases to exist. In the case of joint control (joint venture) with other companies, these investments are measured by the equity method for the consolidated interim information.

 

In the consolidation process, the balances in the balance sheet and income statement accounts corresponding to the transactions carried out with subsidiaries are eliminated, as well as the unrealized gains and losses and the investments in these subsidiaries and their respective equity accounting results.

 

2.2 Revised of comparative figures

3                             Accounting polices

 

The interim financial information was prepared using accounting practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements at December 31, 2017, except for the application of the new accounting standards as of January 1st, 2018, although, despite the application, there was no material impact on the interim information, as mentioned in the financial statements as of December 31, 2017. This interim financial information should be considered jointly with the annual financial statements.

 

3.1 Accounting policies adopted

 

3.1.1                    Financial instruments — IFRS 9

 

IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.  The Company opted for the modified transition method that comparative figures have not been restated.

 

The adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments from January 1st, 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies however considering the assessment made by Company there was no material impact or adjustments in January 1st, 2018 due to the new standard.

 

(i) Classification and measurement

 

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: (a) amortized cost and (b) at fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired as explained below:

 

(a)   Amortized cost

 

Are financial assets held by the Company (i) in order to receive their contractual cash flow and not to sell to realization a profit or loss and (ii) whose contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that exclusively, payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

It includes the balance of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Any changes are recognized in income statement under “Financial income” or “Financial expenses”, depending on the outcome.

 

(b)   Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

 

That are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.

 

Are the balance of financial investments and derivative financial instruments. Any changes are recognized in the income statement under “Financial income” or “Financial expenses”, depending on its outcome.

(ii) Impairment of financial assets

 

The Company revised its impairment methodology under IFRS 9. On January 1st, 2018, the Company started to apply IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade accounts receivable. The total impact of the change in impairment methodology on January 1st, 2018 was not material.

 

3.1.2                    Revenue recognition — IFRS 15

 

The Company has adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on January 1st, 2018 which resulted in changes in accounting policies, opting the modified transition method that comparative figures have not been restated.

 

The Company recognizes revenues from contracts with customers as at which the products to customers transfer of control, represented by the ability to determine the use of products and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the products.

 

The Company follows the conceptual framework of the standard, based on the five-step model: (i) identification of contracts with customers; (ii) identification of performance obligations under contracts; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation provided for in the contracts and (v) recognition of revenue when the performance obligation is met.

 

The transaction confirmation is based on the parameters provided by the corresponding Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) and credit confirmation to the completion of the transaction. Revenue is the net sales revenue, net of taxes, discounts and returns. The revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to a costumer (which is when the costumer obtains control of that good or service).

 

(a)   Sale of products

 

The recognition of revenue for domestic and export pulp and paper sales is based on the following principles:

 

(i)    Domestic market - sales are mainly made on credit. Revenue is recognized when the customer receives the product, whether on the carrier’s premises or at its own premises, at which rewards of ownership are transferred and the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

(ii)    Export market - export orders are normally supplied from third party warehouses located near strategic markets; sales are mainly made on credit. Revenue is recognized as per the Incoterm parameters.

 

3.2 New standards, revisions and interpretations not yet in force

 

IASB issued and approved the following accounting standards/interpretations that are not yet effective and the Company did not early adopt them for the preparation of this interim information.

 

The Management evaluated or is evaluating and measuring the impacts of adopting the following standards/interpretations:

i) IFRS 16 — Leases — It replaces IAS 17 and essentially requires that lessees recognize future payments in their liabilities and the right to use a leased item in assets for practically all lease agreements. Therefore, financial lease and operating lease agreements receive similar accounting treatment, although certain short-term leases or those for small amounts are outside the scope of this standard. This standard will be effective as of January 1st, 2019.

 

The Company, based on preliminary assessments, believes that the biggest impact produced by this standard is related to the recognition in the balance sheet of the lease agreements of land used to plant eucalyptus forests, with terms of up to 3 cycles of forest formation, around 21 years (Note 19.4), but for the reporting date, the Company was still analyzing these and other lease agreements, as well as the transition criterion to be adopted to implement the new Standard.

 

ii) IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments — Clarifies the accounting of tax positions that have not yet been accepted by tax authorities. Both IAS 12/CPC 32 Income Taxes and the new interpretation IFRIC 23 apply only to Income Tax and Social Contribution. IFRIC 23 does not introduce new disclosures, but reinforces the need to comply with certain reporting requirements on (i) judgments made; (ii) assumptions or other estimates used; and (iii) potential impact of uncertainties that are not reflected in the financial statements. This standard will be effective as of January 1st, 2019.

 

The Company is evaluating the impacts of adoption on the new standard in its financial statement.

 

4                             Financial Instruments and Risks

 

4.1                   Management of financial risks

 

a)                  Overview

 

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, there were no significant changes in the financial risk management policies and procedures compared to those reported in Note 4 to the financial statements of December 31, 2017.

 

The main financial risk factors considered by Management are:

 

·                  Liquidity risk;

·                  Credit risk;

·                  Currency risk;

·                  Interest rate risks.

 

The Company does not adopt hedge accounting. Therefore, all results (gains and losses) from derivative operations (settled and outstanding) are fully recognized in the Consolidated statements of income of the periods, as presented in Note 27.

4.4.2           Interest rate risk

 

Fluctuations in interest rates could result in increase or decrease in costs of new financing and operations already contracted.

 

The Company constantly seeks alternatives to use financial instruments in order to avoid negative impacts on its cash flows.

 

Sensitivity analysis — exposure to interest rates

 

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity that variations in operations impacted by the rates: CDI, Long Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”), Special System for Settlement and Custody (“SELIC”)  and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) may have on its results. The probable scenario represents the amounts already booked, as they reflect the best estimate of the Management.

 

This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant. The other scenarios were developed considering appreciation of 25% and 50% in the market interest rates. The following table shows the potential impacts on the results in the event of these scenarios:

Fair value does not represent an obligation for immediate disbursement or cash receipt, given that such effect will only occur on the dates of contractual fulfillment or on the maturity of each transaction, when the result will be determined, depending on the case and market conditions on agreed dates.

 

Contracts outstanding on September 30, 2018 are over-the-counter operations without any margin or early settlement clause imposed due to mark-to-market variations.

 

As mentioned in Note 1.1 b) i) related to the corporate reorganization transaction with Fibria, the Company obtained firm commitments from certain international financial institutions to contract financing, totaling US$ 4.5 billion, whose disbursement is

conditional, among others conditions, to the consummation of the transaction. The proceeds of such financing will be used to settle part of the cash portion of this transaction determined in Reais-R$. In order to mitigate the currency risk between the origin of dollar resources and the commitment in Reais, the Company increased the use of the currency hedge derivatives in the period.

 

As the business under acquisition is usually precified in US$ and the guaranteed credit line obtained is also in US$, management strategy is to hedge the final consideration to be paid in US$, entering into derivative contracts.

4.6                     Capital management

 

The main objective of Company’s capital management is to ensure and maintain a solid credit rating, in addition to mitigating risks that may affect capital availability in business development.

 

The Company monitors constantly significant indicators, such as:

 

i) consolidated financial leverage index, which is the total net debt divided by adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”);

 

ii) management of contractual financial covenants, maintaining safety margin to not exceed these covenants. Management prioritizes new loans denominated in the same currency of its main cash generation source, in order to obtain a natural hedge in the long term for its cash flow. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments based on changes in economic conditions.

26.4              Earnings (losses) per share

 

Basic

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders by the weighted average common shares issued during the year, excluding the common shares acquired by the Company and held as treasury shares.

 

As described in item b) of Note 26.2, in November 2017, the Company migrated to the Novo Mercado segment. Thus, all preferred shares were converted into common shares at the ratio of one preferred share for one common share; Considering that there was no change in capital stock, with mere conversion of preferred shares, for the purposes of calculation and presentation of earnings per share, this conversion was made retrospectively.

On December 31, 2017, the Company calculated dividends as follows:

(29,975

Based on the calculation above, the amount of R$ 351,513 was considered as minimum mandatory dividends for fiscal year 2017, of which the net amount of R$169,860 was paid as interest on own capital, with the balance of R$ 181,653 remaining payable. The difference of R$ 1,373 between the amount previously disclosed in December 31, 2017 (R$ 180,28) and the minimum dividend calculated in accordance with article 26, c), item ii) of the Bylaws off the Company was deemed immaterial by the Management and therefore the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 will not be restated.

 

Even though the minimum mandatory dividend amounted R$ 351,513, Management submitted to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 26, 2018, and approved the proposal for total dividends related to the fiscal year of 2017 in the amount of R$ 380,115, which was paid on December 11, 2017 by interest on equity the amount of R$ 199,835 and on May 9, 2018 the remaining balance.

29.1              Criteria for identifying operating segments

 

The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments through the operating result. The information presented under “Not Segmented” is related to income statement and balance sheet items not directly attributed to the pulp and paper segments, such as, net financial result and income and social contribution taxes expenses, in addition to the balance sheet classification items of assets and liabilities.

 

The operating segments defined by Management are as follows:

 

i)                                         Pulp: comprises production and sale of hardwood eucalyptus pulp and fluff mainly to supply the foreign market, with any surplus sold in the domestic market.

 

ii)                                      Paper: comprises production and sale of paper to meet the demands of both domestic and international markets.
