PULP BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

 

PULP SALES VOLUME AND REVENUE

 

Data from the World 20 Report of the Pulp and Paper Products Council (PPPC) show that in 3Q18, global pulp shipments grew 5.0% compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, global eucalyptus pulp shipments grew 18.6%. In 9M18, global pulp shipments came to 38.6 million tons, up 2.9% on the year-ago period, while eucalyptus shipments were 16.7 million tons, increasing 9.0% on 9M18. The level of global pulp inventories reported by the PPPC ended September at 37 days.

 

Suzano sold 902.7 thousand tons of market pulp in 3Q18, which was 12.6% higher than in 2Q18 and 88% higher than in 3Q17. Meanwhile, sales in the first nine months of the year came to 2.6 million tons, down slightly from 9M17 (-3.1%).

 

 

The average net pulp price in USD in 3Q18 was US$751/ton, increasing US$5/ton from 2Q18 (+0.7%) and US$126/ton from 3Q17 (+20.2%). In 9M18, the price stood at US$744/ton, increasing US$176/ton (+31.0%) from 9M17. The higher net pulp price is explained by the industry’s positive and solid fundamentals.

 

The average net price in BRL in 3Q18 was R$2,979/ton, increasing 10.8% and 50.8% compared to 2Q18 and 3Q17, respectively, supported mainly by the higher list price for pulp and by the depreciation in the BRL against the USD. In 9M18, the average net price stood at R$2,682/ton, increasing 49.0% from 9M17, reflecting the weaker BRL and increases in the pulp list price in USD.

PULP CASH COST

 

The consolidated cash cost of market pulp production in 3Q18 was R$619/ton, including and excluding downtime.

 

 

Consolidated cash cost of market pulp production in the last 12 months ended in September 2018 was R$602/ton excluding downtime (vs. R$588/ton in LTM 3Q17) and R$627/ton including downtime (vs. R$609/ton in LTM 3Q17).

 

 

Cash cost in 3Q18 decreased R$12/ton from 3Q17 (-1.9%), supported by the lower wood cost, but pressured by the expenses with inputs pegged to the USD.

 

 


(1) In line with market practices and for comparison purposes, the methodology for calculating cash cost was changed in 1Q18 and does not consider the depletion of the standing timber of third parties.

PAPER BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

 

PAPER SALES VOLUME AND REVENUE

 

According to the Forestry Industry Association (“Ibá”), in 3Q18, domestic sales of Printing & Writing paper and Paperboard increased 2.1% compared to the same period of 2017, while imports fell 21.4%.

 

In 9M18, sales by local producers grew 1.2% from 9M17, while imports advanced 9.7%.

 

Suzano’s paper sales came to 336.0 thousand tons in 3Q18, growing 8.6% from 3Q17, driven by the sales made by the consumer goods business that are being incorporated into the paper business. The 18.5% increase in sales volume compared to 2Q18 is explained by the seasonality of the domestic market for paper and paperboard and by the incorporation and ramp-up of the products of the consumer goods unit. In the year to date, sales amounted to 903.7 thousand tons, advancing 6.8% on 9M17.

 

 

The average net paper price in the domestic market in 3Q18 stood at R$3,844/ton, representing increases of R$129/ton (3.4%) and R$687/ton (21.5%) compared to 2Q18 and 3Q17, respectively, which is in line with the upward trend in prices in the domestic market. In the year to date, the average net paper price was R$3,681/ton, 15.7% than in 9M17.

 

In USD, the average net paper price in the export market in 3Q18 was US$1,012/ton, representing increases of US$22/ton (2.3%) and US$109/ton (12.1%) from 2Q18 and 3Q17, respectively. In BRL, the average net paper price in the export market in 3Q18 was R$4,011/ton, representing increases of 12.4% and 40.5% from 2Q18 and 3Q17, respectively, explained by the depreciation in the BRL against the USD in the period. In 9M18, the average net paper price in the export market stood at US$982/ton, up 11.2% from 9M17.

The performance of Adjusted EBITDA from paper in 3Q18 compared to 3Q17 and 2Q18 is explained by the operational stability, by the price increases successfully implemented in the domestic and international markets and by the depreciation in the BRL against the USD in the period. Note that the paper business is incorporating the results from the consumer goods business, which is still in the ramp-up phase.

 

 

PAPER OPERATING CASH FLOW AND ROIC

 

The profitability of the paper business benefited from higher paper prices in the domestic and export markets, which were offset by the higher costs and expenses generated primarily by the consumer goods business, which is still in the ramp-up phase.

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

NET REVENUE

 

Suzano’s net revenue in 3Q18 amounted to R$4,005.5 million. Pulp and paper shipments in the quarter came to 1,238.8 thousand tons, increasing 14.1% from 2Q18 and 8.7% from 3Q17. In 9M18, net revenue was R$10,208.2 million, with 3,484.2 thousand tons of paper and pulp sold.

 

 

The performance of consolidated net revenue in relation to 2Q18 is explained mainly by the effect from exchange variation in the period and by the higher paper price in the export market.

 

Compared to 3Q17, net revenue growth was driven by the higher pulp price in USD (average FOEX in Europe in 3Q18 of US$1,050 vs. US$873 in 3Q17), the higher paper price in USD and in BRL and the effect from exchange variation.

 

In the year to date, the 38.4% increase is explained mainly by the weaker BRL and by the higher pulp list price.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

 

Cost of goods sold (COGS) in 3Q18 amounted to R$1,963.1 million or R$1,584.7/ton. Compared to 2Q18, COGS increased 16.9%, pressured mainly by the higher sales volumes and by the charging of INSS (Social Security Contribution) contributions based on payroll, which previously were based on revenue.

 

Compared to 3Q17, the 26.6% increase was due to the higher price of industrial inputs, the higher sales volume, the reduction in the Reintegra benefit from 2% to 0.1% and the new charges on payroll.

 

In 9M18, the total COGS stood at R$5,227.6, increasing 12.9% from 9M17.

Total selling and administrative expenses stood at R$290/ton in 3Q18, representing increases of 43.0% in relation to 3Q17 and of 11.0% in relation to 2Q18.

 

Compared to 3Q17, selling expenses increased by 49.8% or R$53.5 million, reflecting the increase of approximately R$37 million associated with structuring the consumer goods business, as well as the higher expenses with logistics in the domestic market. Compared to 2Q18, the consumer goods business accounted for an increase of approximately R$6.7 million.

 

The 60.4% increase in general and administrative expenses compared to 3Q17 is explained by the higher expenses with profit-based compensation due to higher stock prices (approximately R$30 million), the expenses with the consumer goods structure, especially after the incorporation of Facepa, the expenses with the Fibria transaction (approximately R$20 million) and the charging of INSS contributions based on payroll. Meanwhile, compared to 2Q18, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.5% due to the lower expenses with profit-based compensation.

 

ADJUSTED EBITDA

 

The growth in Adjusted EBITDA in 3Q18 compared to the above periods was driven primarily by the higher pulp list price, the weaker BRL and the higher paper price in the domestic and export markets.

(1) Capitalized interest due to construction in progress.

(2) Variation in mark-to-market adjustment plus adjustments paid and received, considering the end-of-month exchange rate (R$/US$4.0039 on 9/30/2018).

(3) Other includes LIBOR operations.

 

Financial expenses increased by 46.0% in 3Q18 compared to 2Q18, which is explained by the effects from exchange variation in the period, by the expenses with the commitment of US$4.5 billion in credit facilities made available for the business combination with Fibria and by the loans taken out as of June 2018 for the business combination with Fibria. Compared to 3Q17, the 50.8% increase in financial expenses is explained by the effects from exchange variation in the period, the financial expenses with the commitment and the credit facilities for the business combination with Fibria.

 

Compared to 2Q18, financial income in 3Q18 benefitted from the larger cash position amassed for the business combination with Fibria.

 

Inflation adjustment and exchange variation generated a loss of R$254.3 million in the quarter due to the effect from foreign exchange variation, with a negative accounting effect from the mark-to-market adjustments of the portion of liabilities denominated in foreign currency, with cash effects limited to maturities or amortizations of liabilities.

 

The net financial expense was R$1,963.0 million in 3Q18, compared to the expense of R$3,969.6 million in 2Q18 and income of R$269.7 million in 3Q17.

DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS

 

Suzano carries out derivatives transactions exclusively for hedging purposes.

 

The Company’s currency exposure policy seeks to minimize the volatility of its cash generation and to impart greater flexibility to cash flow management. The policy currently stipulates that surplus dollars may be partially hedged (up to 75% of exchange variation exposure over the next 18 months) using plain vanilla instruments, such as Zero-Cost Collars (ZCC) and Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDF).

 

ZCC transactions establish minimum and maximum limits for the exchange rate that minimize adverse effects in the event of a small change in the exchange rate within such limits, in which case the Company neither pays nor receives any financial adjustments. The Company is protected in scenarios of extreme BRL appreciation, while its gains are limited in scenarios of extreme BRL depreciation. The characteristics allows for capturing greater benefits from export revenue in a potential scenario of USD appreciation within the range contracted. The Company constantly monitors the market and analyzes the attractiveness at any given time of fully or partially reversing the transaction.

 

At September 30, 2018, the value of the principal of operations involving forward dollar sales through ZCCs was US$2,265 million, whose maturities are distributed from October 2018 to October 2020 and were contracted in a range from R$3.07 to R$5.26, as well as NDFs whose principal was US$50 million, with an average forward rate of R$4.09. The current scenario of volatility in the BRL/USD exchange rate makes this the most adequate strategy for protecting the Company’s cash flow.

The Company also uses currency and interest rate swaps to mitigate the effects from exchange and interest rate variations on the balance of its debt and on its cash flow. Contracts swapping different interest rates and inflation indexes may be entered into as a way to mitigate the mismatch between financial assets and liabilities.

 

At September 30, 2018, the Company held US$1,565 million in swaps of CDI and LIBOR for a fixed rate in USD. In 3Q18, debt hedge transactions posted a loss of R$137 million.

In addition to hedge operations for cash flow and debt, we carried out new hedge operations for the transaction with Fibria. All derivative instruments to hedge the transaction are plain vanilla, as approved by the Company’s Derivatives Policy.

 

At September 30, 2018, the value of the principal of operations involving forward dollar sales through NDFs was US$2,900 million, with an average forward rate of R$3.86, whose maturities are distributed from April 2019 to June 2019, as well as ZCCs whose principal value was US$1,300 million, with maturities distributed

Suzano contracts debt in foreign currency as a natural hedge, since net operating cash generation is denominated in foreign currency. This structural exposure allows it to contract export financing in USD to match financing payments with receivable flows from sales.

 

Suzano actively and expressly demonstrates its commitment to deleverage sustainably and to adopt adequate and efficient structures and costs for its market positioning and operating and managerial capacity.

The ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA in BRL stood at 1.6x on September 30, 2018, compared to 1.7x on June 30, 2018. The ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA in USD stood at 1.4x on September 30, 2018, compared to 1.5x on June 30, 2018. The reduction in the ratio in USD is explained by the effect from exchange variation in the period.

 

 

In September 2018, the total average cost of debt in USD was 5.2% p.a. (debt in BRL adjusted by the market swap curve). The average term of consolidated debt ended the quarter at 93 months (vs. 90 months in June 2018).

 

 

INVESTMENTS

 

Capital expenditure amounted to R$2,147.8 million in 9M18, of which R$880.2 million was invested in industrial and forest maintenance. Expenditures on the Structural Competitiveness and Adjacent Businesses projects came to R$1,043.1 million, which primarily consisted of the acquisition of Facepa (R$267.9 million), the acquisition of land and forests from Duratex (R$512.8 million) and the Tissue (Maranhão and Bahia states) and Lignin projects.

Suzano’s operating cash generation (Adjusted EBITDA less sustaining capex) amounted to R$1.8 billion in 3Q18 and R$5.4 billion in the last 12 months (ended in September 2018). The variations in the comparison periods are explained by the depreciation in the BRL against the USD, the higher pulp list price, the higher paper price in the international and domestic markets and the consolidation of Facepa’s results as from 2Q18.

 

 

Consolidated ROIC stood at 20.3%. The 7.4 p.p. increase compared to the 12 months to 3Q17 is explained by the higher profitability of the pulp segment due to depreciation in the BRL against the USD, the higher pulp price and the successful implementation of paper price increases in the international and domestic markets.
