1.2.Major events in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020

 

1.2.1.Effects arising from COVID 19

 

Suzano has been adopting preventive and mitigating measures in line with guidelines issued by the national and international health authorities, in order to minimize as far as possible, the harmful effects of the pandemic of COVID-19, popularly known as the new coronavirus, referring to the safety of people and the inheritance of their businesses.

 

The Company's initiatives are based on three pillars: (i) people (ii) society and (iii) business continuity.

 

(i)people: in order to provide security to its employees and third parties, Suzano adopted a series of rules and procedures to minimize the exposure of its team.

 

(ii)society: Suzano now understands its responsibility to the communities in which it operates and based on its guideline “It is only good for us, if it is good for the world”, made the donation of toilet paper and diapers produced by the Company for needy regions. With regard to support to its business partners, the Company decided to maintain payment of 100% of the cost of the payroll of service providers' workers who will have their activities suspended for 60 days (until the end of May) in order to consequent job preservation.

 

(iii)business continuity: so far, the Company continues with its normal operations and a crisis management committee has been implemented.

 

The paper and pulp sector were recognized by the World Health Organization (“WHO”), as well as by several countries, as a producer of goods essential to society. Therefore, in order to fulfill the responsibility arising from the essentiality of the business, Suzano has taken measures to ensure operational normality and full service to its customers, increasing the level of wood and raw material inventories in the factories and has been working to advance its inventories of finished goods product bringing them closer to their customers to mitigate possible risks of disruption in the factories' supply chain and the sale of their products.

 

The current situation resulting from the coronavirus also implies a higher credit risk, especially for its customers in the paper business. Thus, the Company has also been monitoring the evolution of this risk and implementing measures to mitigate it, and so far, there has been no significant financial impact.

 

Due to the social isolation measures adopted in Brazil and in several countries around the world, causing schools and offices to close, for example, the demand for printing and writing papers was reduced and due to uncertainty about their recovery, Suzano decided to stop temporary production with a forecast of 30 days from April 27, 2020 and May 1, 2020 on the paper production lines of the Rio Verde and Mucuri industrial units, respectively. However, the reduction in production volumes resulting from this decision is not material to the business and to the Company's economic and financial performance. We note that in several countries around the world similar measures have already been announced to temporarily reduce the production of printing and writing papers.

An effect also resulting from the coronavirus concerns the decision to postpone Suzano's Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meetings (“AGOE”), initially called for April 24, 2020 and changed to May 22, 2020, in order to allow the digital modality, with content kept for deliberation by the shareholders.

 

Finally, it is also opportune to inform that, as a result of the current scenario, the Company has made a vast communication effort to further increase the interaction with its main stakeholders, with the objective of guaranteeing the adequate transparency and flow of information with the them in a timely manner to the dynamics of the social and economic conjuncture. For example, Suzano held a conference call on March 19, 2020 with its investors to update them about the Company in the context of COVID-19. The presentation used in the conference call, as well as the audio of the event, are available on the Company's Investor Relations website. There you will also find the Market Announcements published on the subject on March 17 and 30, 2020.

 

1.2.2.Business combination with Fibria

 

Due to the relevance of the information, the Company considered it necessary to maintain the disclosure of information related to the business combination with Fibria performed during 2019.

 

On January 3, 2019, acquisition date of control by Suzano, after all fulfilled conditions for the conclusion of business combination and shareholding base, Fibria’s shares were exchanged for Suzano’s shares and on January 14, 2019, Suzano concluded the corporate reorganization process, following the terms of the

 

Agreement signed by both entities on March 15, 2018.

 

The transferred consideration by Suzano for acquisition of control of Fibria, defined in terms of the Agreement, was as follows:

 

1.2.2.1.Share exchange ratio

 

On January 2, 2019, according to Notice to Shareholders, the exchange ratio of the common shares issued by Eucalipto Holding S.A. (“Holding”) held by Fibria’s shareholders for shares issued by Suzano was adjusted from 0.4611 to 0.4613, being the exchange ratio of 0.4613 considered as final. The adjustment in the exchange ratio, compared to the originally announced, was due to (i) a change in the total number of shares issued by Fibria ex-treasury and disregarding the shares resulting from the vesting of option plans between those in the Protocol and Justification and that date of 553,080,611 shares for 553,733,881 shares and (ii) alteration of the number of shares issued by Suzano ex-treasury and disregarding the shares resulting from the vesting of option plans between that contained in the Protocol and Justification and that present date of 1,091,984,141 shares to 1,093,784,141 shares.

1.2.2.2.Cash installment

 

On January 10, 2019, by means of the Notice to Shareholders, the Company communicated the final value of the Adjusted Cash Installment, corresponding to the redemption value of each Holding's redeemable preferred share, originally equivalent to R$52.50, (i) reduced by the amount of dividends declared by Fibria on December 3, 2018 and paid in Brazil on December 12, 2018 in the amount of R$5.03 per share issued by Fibria (ii) plus R$2.73, corresponding to the variation of the average daily rate of Brazilian interbank deposits expressed as an annual percentage, based on 252 business days, measured and disclosed daily by B3 ("DI Rate"), between March 15, 2018 and the Expiration Date of the Transaction including January 10, 2019 (including) and January 14, 2019 (including), the DI Rate was estimated at 6.40% per annual, with a total and final amount of R$50.20 per share, making up the final amount of the Adjusted Cash Amount of R$27,797,441.

 

The amounts mentioned above are gross, not considering any tax impacts on the payment to Fibria Resident or Non-Resident Shareholders, which are detailed in the Notice to Shareholders disclosed on November 29, 2018.

 

Suzano performed a valuation analysis of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Fibria and, using the total transferred consideration for the Merger, and allocated for such assets and liabilities.

1)Measured considering the balance of finished products based on selling price, net of selling expenses and an accepted margin based on the results achieved in 2018.

 

2)Determined based on the analysis of market data on comparable transactions and cost quantification, based on the estimate of replacement or replacement value of the assets.

 

3)In order to determine the fair value adjustment in the customer portfolio, the income approach and the method were used to measure the present value of the income that will be generated during the remaining useful life of the asset. Considering the 5-year history of Fibria's sales data and the customer churn rate that measures customer satisfaction and customer permanence in the portfolio, the adjustment was measured using estimated discounted cash flows. The customer churn rate and the discounted cash flows were considered as significant assumptions to determine the fair value of the customer portfolio.

 

4)Fibria has concession contracts and port assets to assist in port operations in Brazil. For fair value measurement of these assets was considered the income approach, the Multi Period Excess Earnings Method (“MPEEM”) that measures the present value of the income that will be generated during the remaining useful life of the asset and method of direct cost differential.

 

5)In the business combination, for the contingencies fair value measurement, whose chances of loss were classified as possible and remote, Fibria's Management and its external and independent advisors were considered for their fair values, whose amounts were measured based on the analyzes of Company’s external lawyers. Thus, the estimate and assumptions with respect to the probability of loss of the possible and remote lawsuits for the fair value calculation of contingent liabilities assumed were considered as significant assumptions to determine the fair value of the contingent liabilities.

 

6)The adjustment to fair value of loans and financing was measured based on the fair value of the Bonds, based on the quotation of the security in the secondary market, and the adjustment to present value considering the market rate at the base date on December 31, 2018.

 

7)For the measurement of the fair value of the taxes to be recovered, the amount to be recovered, discounted to the present value considering the expected Selic rate for the tax period, was considered.

 

8)In other net assets and liabilities, including supply contracts, accounts receivable and advances to suppliers, the income evaluation methodology, the present value and the direct cost differential were used.

9)Deferred asset on income tax on fair value adjustments of assets of Veracel and Portocel. For the remaining fair value, we did not recognize deferred liability on income taxes liabilities due to Fibria’s Legal Merger in April 2019.

 

10)Goodwill is attributable to the strong market position and expected future profitability of Fibria in negotiations in the eucalyptus pulp market.

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was prepared based on the information of Suzano and its wholly-owned subsidiaries on the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting practices and policies.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, considering that its purpose is to provide an update on the activities, events and significant circumstances in relation to those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information focus on new activities, events and circumstances and do not duplicate the information previously disclosed, except when Management judges that the maintenance of the information is relevant.

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 as of January 1, 2020 and whose estimated impact was disclosed in the annual financial statements of December 31, 2019, as described in the Note 3.1.

 

3.1.New accounting policies and changes in the accounting policies adopted

 

3.1.1.Translation into currency presentation

 

Due to the merger with Fibria, the Company had several changes in the structure, activities and operations during 2019 that led management to conclude that they needed to reassess the functional currency of its subsidiaries whose functional currency was different from Brazilian Reais.

 

Those facts resulted in the corporate reorganization, as well as, it has impacted how management conducted the Company's business in order to achieve the alignment between the cultures of the two Companies, the unification of processes, operating, tax systems and strategies, through synergy gains arising from the business combination. In this process some of Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries were considered an extension of the activities of the parent company.

 

These circumstances collectively justify the change in the functional currency to Brazilian Real and they have occurred gradually during 2019, therefore it was not practicable to determine the date of the change at a precise point during the reporting period. Thus, the Company changed the functional currency of those wholly-owned subsidiaries as of January 1, 2020.

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)  

 

The cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) arising from the translation of a foreign operation previously recognized in other comprehensive income will not be reclassified from equity to profit or loss until 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.

 

Therefore, the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency was different from Brazilian Reais in 2019, were translated using the criteria established below:

 

(i)assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at period-end;

 

(ii)revenues and expenses are translated based on the monthly average rate;

 

(iii)the cumulative effects of gains or losses upon translation are recognized as accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments component of other comprehensive income.

 

And as from January 1, 2020, the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the following criteria:

 

(i)monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at period-end;

 

(ii)non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate of the transaction;

 

(iii)revenues and expenses are translated based on monthly average rate;

 

(iv)the cumulative effects of gains or losses upon translation are recognized in the other comprehensive income period-end.

 

3.1.2.Business combination – IFRS 3

 

This pronouncement was amended and clarifies definition of a “business”. It’s also permitted a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a group of assets rather than a business. The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any material impacts.

 

3.1.3.Presentation of financial statements – IAS 1 and Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors – IAS 8

 

This pronouncement was amended and clarifies definition of a “material” and how it should be applied by (i) including in the definition guidance that until now has featured elsewhere in IFRS Standards; (ii) improving the explanations accompanying the definition; and (iii) ensuring that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS Standards. The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any material impacts.

3.1.4.Conceptual framework for financial reporting

 

This pronouncement was amended and includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts, the main changes are set forth below:

 

(i)the objective of financial reporting describes the objective of general purpose financial reporting, the information needed to achieve that objective and who uses the financial reports. The term “stewardship” was reintroduced, in order to clarify its meaning and defining the information needed to assess management’s stewardship and separates this from the information that users need to assess the prospects of the entity’s future net cash flows. Both types of information are required to provide information that is useful for making decisions about providing resources to the entity, and therefore achieves the objective of financial reporting.

 

(ii)qualitative characteristics of useful financial information: the concepts of prudence and substance over form were reintroduced. It was also defined the concept of measurement uncertainty in assessing the usefulness of financial information, since in some cases, relevant information may have a high level of measurement uncertainty, which may reduce its usefulness. Slightly less relevant information with a lower measurement uncertainty may be preferable in such case.

 

(iii)financial statements and the reporting entity: describes about new concepts, in which it is clarified the scope and objective of financial statements and also provides a description of the reporting entity.

 

(iv)the elements of financial statements: the definitions of assets and liabilities were revised and the definitions of income and expenses were updated accordingly, as set forth below:

 

Previous definition   New definition

Asset: A resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

 

 Asset: A present economic resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events.

An economic resource is a right that has the potential to produce economic benefits.

     
The new definition clarifies that an asset is an economic resource, and that the potential economic benefits no longer need to be ‘expected’ to flow to the entity. Thus, they do not need to be certain or even likely, but if this is the case, the recognition and measurement of the asset may be affected.
     

Liability: A present obligation of the entity arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits.

  Liability: A present obligation of the entity to transfer an economic resource as a result of past events.
     
The main difference is that the new definition clarifies that a liability is the obligation to transfer an economic resource, and not the ultimate outflow of economic benefits. The outflow also no longer needs to be ‘expected’, similar to the change in the definition of an asset, above. It was also introduced the concept of ‘no practical ability to avoid’ to the definition of an obligation, and factors used to assess this will depend on the nature of an entity’s duty or responsibility, which requires the use of judgement.
     
Income: increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets, or decreases of liabilities, that result in increases in equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity participants.  

 Income: Increases in assets, or decreases in liabilities, that result in increases in equity, other than those relating to contributions from holders of equity claims.

     
Expense: Decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of outflows or depletions of assets, or incurrences of liabilities, that result in decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to equity participants.  

Expense: Decreases in assets, or increases in liabilities, that result in decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to holders of equity claims.

(v)recognition and derecognition: the criteria for recognizing assets and liabilities in the financial statements were reviewed. The pronouncement states that recognition is only appropriate if it results in both relevant information about the element being recognized, and faithful representation of that element. On the other hand, derecognition should aim to faithfully represent those assets and liabilities retained after the transaction, if any, and any change in assets and liabilities as a result of the transaction that led to the derecognition.

 

(vi)measurement: new guidance was introduced about measurement bases and provide factors to consider when selecting a measurement basis. Therefore, two categories of measurement basis were identified:

 

·historical cost:
·current value: which comprises fair value, value in use of assets and fulfilment value for liabilities and current cost.

 

(vii)Presentation and disclosure: the concepts were reviewed (i) how information should be presented and disclosed in financial statements (ii) classifying income and expenses in the statement of income and (iii) whether and when income and expenses included in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) should subsequently be recycled to statement of income. Additionally, reinforces that statement of income is the primary source of information about the entity’s financial performance.

 

(viii)concepts of capital and capital maintenance: describes the concepts of capital and capital maintenance and profit determination and adjustments for capital maintenance, the content of this item has not changed.

 

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

4.1.1.Overview

 

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, 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, 2019.

 

The Company maintained its conservative approach and strong cash and marketable securities position, as well as its hedge policy, during the crisis caused by the pandemic of COVID-19 and even though there were impacts on the fair value of its financial instruments due to the effects on all global economies, the impacts were as expected, according to sensitivity analyses disclosed in previous reports, and measures were taken in relation to the risks associated to the financial instruments, in particular to the risks of liquidity, credit and exchange rate variation, as described following items set forth.

4.2.Liquidity risk

 

As disclosed in note 4 to the financial statements as of December 31, 2019, the Company’s purpose is maintaining a strong cash and marketable securities position to meet its financial and operating obligations. The amount held as cash is used for payments expected in the normal course of its operations, while the cash surplus amount is invested in highly liquid financial investments according Cash Management Policy. The cash position is monitored by the Company’s senior management, by means of management reports and participation in performance meetings with determined frequency. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, there was no relevant impact in cash and marketable securities, and the Company believes that, eventually, the crisis scenario caused by the COVID-19 pandemic would be extend and the Brazilian Reais keep devalued against the U.S.Dollar, adjustments of derivative instruments that will mature in the coming months would be negatively impacted, however those would, be offset by higher cash generation, which will benefit from this devaluation and exceeds the cost of any adjustments to derivatives.

In line with the material fact disclosed to the market on March 30, 2020, there was a disbursement of U.S.$500,000 (equivalent to R$2,632,550) of its revolving credit facility maintained with certain financial institutions, of 1.30% plus quarterly LIBOR and maturity in February 2024. The disbursement is in line with the preventive measures that the Company has been taking to mitigate eventual impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and aims to bring even more strength to the liquidity position of the Company. The funds were credited on April 1, 2020.

4.3.Credit risk management

 

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, there were no significant changes in the credit risk management policies and procedures compared to those reported in note 4 to the financial statements of December 31, 2019, except for described set forth below.

 

4.3.1.Trade accounts receivable and advances to supplier

 

As a result of the crisis caused by COVID-19, the Company started to accept requests for the extension of customer invoices, limiting these postponements to those invoices close to maturity, with due interest charges.

 

Most of the customers who requested extension are related to the domestic market in the paper segment and do not represent a significant amount compared to the Company's total accounts receivable.

 

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not observe an increase in customer default due to the COVID-19 crisis. The Company believes that delays in receipts may behave more accentuated than the historic over the next few months, however, internal analyzes and credit metrics do not demonstrate that these delays may have a significant impact on the Company's liquidity position.

 

All policies aimed at mitigating the possible risks arising from the default of its customers were maintained, as well as the collection policies and procedures. Moreover, the policy of expected credit losses normally follows, without any changes.

 

4.3.2.Banks and financial institutions

 

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, there were no significant changes in the credit risk management policies and procedures related to bank and financial institutions compared to those reported in note 4 to the financial statements of December 31, 2019.

4.3.3.Market risk management

 

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, there were no significant changes in the market risk management policies and procedures compared to those reported in note 4 to the financial statements of December 31, 2019.

 

4.4.Exchange rate risk management

 

As disclosed in note 4 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company contracts sales operations of U.S.Dollar in the futures markets, including strategies with options, in order to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of revenue. These operations are limited to a percentage of the net foreign exchange surplus over the 18-month horizon and, therefore, are attached to the availability of ready-to-sell foreign exchange in the short term.

 

Due to pandemic COVID-19 and the effects on all global economies during the first quarter, financial markets have experienced volatility throughout the period with a strong sense of aversion to risk, with a consequent substantial devaluation of the Real against the U.S.Dollars. For the calculation of mark-to-market (“MtM”) the PTAX of the penultimate business day of the quarter was used, in December 2019 it was R$4.0307 and in March 2020 it was R$5.1594, with an increase of 28%. These market movements caused a negative impact on the mark-to-market hired hedge position.

 

It is important to mention that even if there is negative impact on the fair value of derivative operations, whereas hedging contracts are limited by policy in a maximum of 75% of the exposure in US Dollars, the exchange devaluation benefits, in a net way, the Company's cash generation.

 

The net exposure of assets and liabilities in foreign currency which is substantially in U.S. dollars, is set forth below:

4.4.1.1.Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange rate exposure – except financial instruments derivatives

 

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to jointly evaluate assets and liabilities positions in foreign currency, and the possible effects on its results. The probable scenario represents the amounts recognized, as they reflect the translation into Brazilian Reais on the base date of the balance sheet (R$ to U.S.$ = R$5.1987).

 

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly, the interest rates, remains constant. The other scenarios considered the appreciation/depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S.$. at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes.

4.4.2.3.Sensitivity analysis for changes in the consumer price index of the US economy

 

For the measurement of the probable scenario, the United States Consumer Price Index (US-CPI) was considered on December 31, 2019.

4.4.3.Commodity price risk management

 

The Company is exposed to commodity prices that reflect mainly on the pulp sale price in the foreign market. The dynamics of opening and closing production capacities in the global market and the macroeconomic conditions may have an impact on the Company´s operating results.

 

Through a specialized team, the Company monitors the pulp price and analyses future trends, adjusting the forecast which that aims to assisting preventive measures to properly conduct the different scenarios. There is no liquid financial market to sufficiently mitigate the risk of a material portion of the Company's operations. Price protection operations cellulose available on the market have low liquidity and volume and large distortion in price formation. No relevant changes were observed in relation to pulp prices and future markets related to this index due to the crisis caused by the pandemic of COVID-19.

 

The Company is also exposed to international oil prices, which is reflected on logistical costs for selling to the export market. In this case, the Company assess, when comprehend necessary, hiring derivative financial instruments to set oil price. The crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the global demand for oil and its derivatives, which caused a substantial devaluation of the prices of these assets in the spot and future markets. In this context, and considering attractive market conditions, the Company increased its oil hedge position in line with its hedge strategy and policies and set a good part of its exposure at levels below the estimated price levels for the 2020 budget.

 

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, a contracted position to hedge its logistics costs was purchased in the amount of U.S.$95,117 (U.S.$ 0.364 as of December 31, 2019).

1)The variation is due to the increase in the exchange rate in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.

 

2)The embedded derivative refers to swap contracts for the sale of US-CPI variations within the term of the forest partnership and standing wood supply contracts.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the financial markets and, consequently, caused increased volatility throughout the first quarter, devaluing the Real against the US Dollar by 28%, as previously mentioned. The variation in the fair value of derivatives for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 compared to the fair value measured on December 31, 2019 is explained substantially by this significant devaluation of the local currency. There were also less significant impacts caused by the variation in the Pre, Foreign Exchange Coupon and LIBOR curves in transactions.

 

It is important to highlight that, the outstanding agreements in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, are over-the-counter market, without any kind of guarantee margin or early settlement clause forced by changes from mark to market, including possible variations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2)The Company filed legal actions claiming the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS contribution tax basis, in relation to certain operations for certain periods starting from March 1992.

 

Regarding this subject, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) initially decided on March 15th, 2017, that ICMS is not included in the tax basis of the aforementioned contributions. The Federal Government made an appeal (“Embargos de Declaração”) in October 2017, requesting the reversal of the Supreme Court’s initial decision among other items. The appeal has yet to be judged.

 

Based on the Supreme Court’s initial decision and the legal opinion provided by external legal consultants, the Company believes that the probability of the Supreme Court altering its decision is remote. The Company thus started to exclude the ICMS from the tax basis of the referred contributions since August 2018, a practice also supported by court decisions.

 

For certain PIS and COFINS credits to be recovered, the Company has received final favorable court decisions. The balance of R$128,115 recognized in the statement of income (loss) in 2019 within other operational results, regarding certain claims for the calculation period from 2006 to July 2018. The Company has estimated the amount attributable to these claims based on the available relevant fiscal documents, and this amount is subject to adjustments to be recorded by management in the future periods.

 

The Company has additional claims for which a final decision has not been received and for which no asset or gain have been recorded.

 

3)Tax on Sales and Services (“ICMS”): Credits from the acquisition of property, plant and equipment are recovered on a linear basis over a four period, from the acquisition date, in accordance with the relevant regulation, ICMS Control on Property, Plant and Equipment (“CIAP”).

 

4)ICMS credits accrued due to the volume of exports and credit generated in operations of entry of products: Credits are concentrated in the state of Maranhão, Espírito Santo, Bahia and Mato Grosso do Sul, where the Company realizes the credits through sale of credits to third parties, after approval from the State Ministry of Finance.

12.INCOME AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TAXES

 

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries located in Brazil are subject to the tax regime based on taxable income. The wholly-owned subsidiaries located abroad are taxed in their respective jurisdictions, according to local regulations.

 

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

 

Management’s Company believes on the validity of the provisions of international treaties entered into Brazil to avoid double taxation. In order to guarantee its right to non-double taxation, the Company filed a lawsuit in April 2019, which aims at a non-double taxation, in Brazil, of profit earned by its wholly-owned subsidiary located in Austria, according to Law n°. 12,973/14. Due to the preliminary injunction granted in favor of the Company in the records of the aforementioned lawsuit, the Company decided to not to add the profit from Suzano International Trading GmbH, located in Austria, in determining of taxable income and social contribution basis of the net profit of the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. There is no provision for tax related to the profit of such wholly-owned subsidiary in 2020.

3)The Brazilian thin capitalization rules establish that interest paid or credited by a Brazilian entity to a related party may only be deducted for income tax purposes if the interest expense is viewed as necessary for the activities of the local entity and when determined limits and requirements are met. On March 31, 2020 the Company did not meet all limits and requirements, therefore a provision for tax payment was recorded.

 

4)Income tax deduction amount referring to the use of the PAT (“Worker Feeding Program”) benefit and donations made in cultural and sports projects.
