Suzano – Heavy maintenance schedule and inventory rebuild limited pulp volumes

The pulp market showed a favorable performance in the first 2 months of 2025, with successive price increases fully implemented, in light of the effects of limited supply caused by the downtime of an important integrated paper producer in China as well as the conversion of production to dissolving pulp by one of the sector’s producers. In March, market sentiment remained positive regarding pulp prices and the implementation of the new price increase announced for the period, especially after Shanghai Pulp Week – an important event in the P&P sector. However, the more uncertain global macroeconomic environment at the end of the quarter had a negative impact on market dynamics.

The results of the company’s pulp business were impacted by the lower volume sold, given the commercial strategy of inventory restocking to normal levels, and the lower realized price, in turn due to the invoicing of backlogs for some regions. Operating performance was according to plan, with an increase in the cash production cost, mainly due to the effect of scheduled maintenance downtimes.
