1.2. Major events in the year ended

1.2.1. Effects arising from COVID 19

With the advent of the pandemic COVID-19, Suzano has adopted and has maintained preventive and mitigating measures, in compliance with the rules and policies established by 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, society and their businesses.

Thus Company's initiatives are based on three pillars:

(i) Protection for people: in order to provide security to its employees and third parties who in its operations, Suzano adopted a series of measures aimed at minimizing the exposure of its team and / or mitigating exposure risks.

(ii) Protection of society: one of Suzano's three cultural drivers is: “It is only good for us, if it is good for the world”. Therefore, from the beginning of the pandemic to the present, the Company has adopted a series of measures to protect society, including:

· Donation of toilet paper, napkins and disposable diapers produced by the Company for needy regions.

· Acquisition of 159 respirators and 1,000,000 hospital masks for donation to the Federal and State Governments.

· Participation in joint action with Positivo Tecnologia, Klabin, Flextronics and Embraer, to support the Brazilian company Magnamed, in the production of respirators to deliver to the Federal Government. Suzano's disbursement in this action was R$9,584.

· Construction of a field hospital in Teixeira de Freitas (BA) in conjunction with Veracel, which has already been handed over to the state government and opened in July 2020.

· Establishement a partnership with Fatec of Capão Bonito for the production of gel alcohol.

· Loan of forklifts to move donations received by the Red Cross.

· Maintenance of all direct jobs.

· Maintenance, for 90 days (until the end of June 2020) of payment of 100% of the cost of the payroll of service providers' workers who had their activities suspended due to the pandemic, aiming at the consequent preservation of jobs.

· Creation of the a support program for small suppliers, a social support program for small farmers to sell their products through the home delivery system in 38 communities supported by Suzano's Rural and Territorial Development Program (“PDRT”) in 5 states and social program with the objective of provide 125,000 masks in communities for donation in 5 states.

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019   

· Launch a program to support its portfolio of small and medium-sized paper customers entitled “Tamo Junto” with the objective of ensuring that these companies have the financial and management capacity to resume activities.

The disbursements made for carrying out the social actions implemented by Suzano, totaled R$48,590 through December 31, 2020 (Note 30).

(iii) Protection for business: to date, 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, to the greatest extent possible, operational normality and full service to its customers, increasing the level of wood and raw material inventories in the factories and has been advancing 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 COVID-19 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. In light of this situation, as announced by paper producers in several countries around the world, Suzano decided to temporarily reduce its paper production volume. As previously disclosed in the quarterly information for the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company temporarily stopped the production at the paper production lines of the Mucuri and Rio Verde units, however, the activities of the factories were resumed at normal level at the beginning of July 2020.

Finally, it is worth noting that, as a result of the current scenario, the Company has made and maintained 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.

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 churn rate that measures customer satisfaction and customer permanence in the portfolio, the adjustment was measured using estimated discounted cash flows.

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.

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.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with and in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and disclose all the applicable significant information related to the financial statements, which is consistent with the information utilized by Management in the performance of its duties.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais (“R$”), as well as the amounts of other currencies disclosed in the financial statements, when applicable, were also expressed in thousands, unless otherwise stated. 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires Management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt assumptions in the process of applying accounting practices, that affect the disclosed amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities. The accounting practices requiring a higher level of judgment and which are more complex, as well as areas in which assumptions and estimates are significant, are disclosed in note 3.2.34.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the following material items recognized:

(i) derivative and non-derivative financial instruments measured at fair value;

15

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019   

(ii) share-based payments and employee benefits measured at fair value;

(iii) biological assets measured at fair value; and

(iv) deemed cost of property, plant and equipment.

The main accounting polices applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are presented in note 3.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared under the going concern assumption.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with information from Suzano and its subsidiaries on the same base date, as well as consistent accounting policies and practices.

The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all consolidated companies.

There was no change in relation to such policies and methods for calculating estimates, except for the new accounting policies presented in note 3.1, adopted as of January 1, 2020 and whose estimated impact was disclosed in the annual financial statements of December 31, 2019.

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

3.1.1. Change in the functional currency

Due to the merger with Fibria, the Company had several changes in the structure, activities and operations during the year of 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, systems, tax strategies and 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.

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.

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019   

3.2.5. Translation of financial statements to functional and presentation currency

The Company defined that for all its wholly owned subsidiaries, the functional and presentation currency is the Real. Except for investments in associates abroad related to Ensyn Corporation, F&E Technologies LLC and Spinnova OY, the functional currencies are different from the Real, whose accumulated gain or loss effects on the conversion of financial statements, are recorded in other comprehensive income, in equity.

The individual financial statements of each foreign subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statement, are prepared in accordance with local currency of the subsidiary operates and translated into Company’s functional and presentation currency.

3.2.5.1. Transactions and balances in foreign currency

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

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

3.2.6. Hyperinflationary economies

Entities based in Argentina, a country considered to have a hyperinflationary economy, are subject to the requirements of IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies.

Non-monetary items, as well as incomes and expenses, are adjusted by the changes in the inflation index between the initial recognition and the closing date, so that the balances are stated at current value.

However, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary based in Argentina, the functional currency has been the Real since January 1, 2020, as disclosed in note 3.2.7.1 of the financial statements ended on December 31, 2019, therefore it is no longer an entity with hyperinflationary currency and discontinued the preparation and presentation of its individual financial statement in accordance with IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies.

The amounts in the financial statements on that date were considered as historical cost, being the basis of the book values of the subsequent financial statements, that is, the updated values are the cost bases of the non-monetary items in the subsequent financial statements, being subject to the requirements of the note 3.2.7.1 above disclosed.

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019   

3.2.7. Business combinations

These are accounted for using the acquisition method when control is transferred to acquirer. The cost of an acquisition is the sum of the consideration paid, evaluated based on the fair value at acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquire. For each business combination, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquire either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are recorded as expense when incurred, except for costs related to the issuance of debt instruments or equity instruments, which are presented as debt reduction or equity, respectively.

In a business combination, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are evaluate in order to classify and allocate them assessing the terms of the agreement, economic circumstances and other conditions at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, net of any accumulated impairment losses. For purposes of impairment testing, the goodwill recognized in a business combination, as from the acquisition date, is allocated to each of the Company’s cash generating units.

Gains on an advantageous purchase are recognized immediately in the result. The borrowing costs are recorded in the income statement as incurred.

Contingent liabilities related to tax, civil and labor classified in the acquired company as possible and remote risk is recognized by the acquirer, at its fair values.

Transactions in the acquisition of shares with shared control over the net assets traded apply complementary guidance to IFRS 3 - Business Combination, IFRS 11 and IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Based on the equity method, investment is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted for recognition of changes in the Company's share in the acquirer's Shareholders' equity as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is segregated from carrying amount of the investment. Other intangible assets identified in the transaction shall be allocated in proportion to the interest acquired by the Company, by the difference between the carrying amounts recorded in the acquired entity and its fair value assets, which may be amortized.

3.2.8. Segment information

An operating segment is a component of the Company that carries out business activities from which it can obtain revenues and incur expenses. The operating segments reflect how the Company’s management reviews financial information to make decisions. The Company’s management has identified reportable segments, which meet the quantitative and qualitative disclosure requirements. The segments identified for disclosure represent mainly sales channels.

3.2.9. Cash and cash equivalents

Include cash on hand, bank deposits and highly liquid short-term investments with maturities, upon acquisition, of 90 days or less, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of change in value. The investments classified in this group, due to their nature, are measured at fair value through the profit or loss.

(i) financial assets at amortized cost;

(ii) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income;

(iii) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, it means, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred but only if Fibria has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

3.2.10.1.1. Financial instruments measured at amortized cost

Financial assets at 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, trade accounts receivable and other assets.

3.2.10.1.2. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are financial assets held by the Company (i) either to receive their contractual cash flow as the for sale with realization of profit or loss and (ii) whose contractual terms give rise on specified dates, to cash flows constituting, exclusively, payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. In addition, investments in equity instruments where, on initial recognition, the Company elected to present subsequent changes in its fair value to other comprehensive income, are classified in this category. Any changes are recognized under net financial income (expense) in income statement, except for the fair value of investment in equity instruments, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.

This category includes the balance of other investments (Note 14).

3.2.10.1.3. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. . Any changes are recognized under financial income (expense) in income statement for non-derivative financial instruments and for financial derivative instruments under income from derivative financial instruments.

22

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

This category includes the balance of marketable securities, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are the balance of derivative financial instruments, including embedded derivatives, stock options and other securities.

3.2.10.2. Settlement of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are settled and the net amount is recorded in the balance sheet when there is a (i) legally enforceable right to settle the recognized amounts and (ii) there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.2.10.3. Impairment of financial assets

3.2.10.3.1. Financial instruments measured at amortized cost

Annually, the Company assesses if there is evidence that a financial asset is impaired. A financial is impaired only if there is evidence of an impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated.

The criteria that the Company uses to determine if there is evidence of an impairment loss include:

(i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

(ii) default or late interest or principal payments in the agreement;

(iii) where Company, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, grants to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise receive;

(iv) it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

(v) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

(vi) observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio.

The amount of an impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset is impaired the carrying amount of the asset is reduced and a loss is recognized in the income statement.

In a subsequent measurement, if there is an improvement in the asset rating, such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating, the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the income statement.

23

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

3.2.10.3.2. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Annually, the Company evaluate if there is evidence that a financial asset is impaired.

For such financial assets, a significant or prolonged decrease in the fair value of the security below its cost is an evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists, impairment loss is measured by the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income, shall be recognized in the income statement.

3.2.11. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives financial instruments are recognized at fair value on the date the derivative agreement is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in under result of derivative financial instruments in the income statement.

Embedded derivatives in non-derivative main contracts are required to be separated when their risks and characteristics are not-closely related to those of main contracts and these are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Non-option embedded derivatives are separated from the main contracts in accordance with its stated or implied substantive terms, so that they have zero fair value on initial recognition.

3.2.12. Trade accounts receivables

These are recorded at the invoiced amount, in the normal course of the Company´s business, adjusted to exchange rate variation when denominated in foreign currency and, if applicable, net of expected credit losses.

The Company applies the aging-based provision matrix with the appropriate grouping of your portfolio. When necessary, based on individual analysis, the provision for expected loss is supplemented.

The Company adopts procedures and analysis to establish credit limits.

The Company examines on a monthly basis the maturity of receivables and identifies those customers with overdue balances assessing the specific situation of each client including the risk of loss, the existence of contracted insurance, letters of credit, collateral and the customer’s financial situation. In the event of default, collection attempts are made, which include direct contact with customers and collection through third parties. Should these efforts prove unsuccessful, court measures are considered and credit expected loss is recognized. The notes are written-off from the credit expected loss when Management considers that they are not recoverable after taking all appropriate measures to collect them.

3.2.13. Inventories

These are evaluated at average acquisition or formation cost of finished products, net of recoverable taxes, not exceeding their net realizable value.

24

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

Finished products and work-in-process consist of raw materials, direct labor, production costs, freight, storage and general production expenses, which are related to the processes required to make the products available for sale.

Imports in transit are presented at the cost incurred until the balance sheet date.

The raw materials derived from biological assets are measured based on their fair value less cost to sell at the point of harvest and freight costs.

Provisions for obsolescence, adjustments to net realizable value, impaired items and slow-moving inventories are recorded when necessary. Usual production losses are recorded and are an integral part of the production cost of the respective month, whereas abnormal losses, if any, are recorded directly as cost of sales.

3.2.14. Non-current assets held for sale

These are measured at carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, whichever is lower, and are not depreciated or amortized. Such items are only classified under this account when the sale is highly probable and they are available for immediate sale under their current conditions.

3.2.15. Biological assets

The biological assets for production (mature and immature forests) are reforestation eucalyptus forests, with a formation cycle between planting until the harvest of approximately 7 (seven) years, measured at fair value. Depletion is measured by the amount of biological assets depleted (harvested) and measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell.

For the determination of the fair value, the income approach technique was applied using the discounted cash flow model, according to the projected productivity cycle for these assets. The assumptions used to measure the fair value are reviewed every six months, as the Company considers that this interval is sufficient so that there is no significant gap in the fair value balance of biological assets booked. Significant assumptions are presented in note 13.

The gain or loss on the assessment of fair value is recognized in the operating income (expenses), net.

Biological assets in formation under the age of 2 (two) years, accounted for at the formation cost and the areas of permanent environmental preservation, which are not recorded, and it is not included in the measurement at fair value, because it is not characterized as biological assets.

3.2.16. Property, plant and equipment

Stated at the cost of acquisition, formation, construction or dismantling, net of recoverable taxes. Such cost is deducted of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, when incurred, at the highest of the value of use and sale, less cost to sell. The borrowing costs are capitalized as a component of construction in progress, pursuant to with IAS 23, considering the weighted average interest rate of the Company’s debt at the capitalization date.

25

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

Depreciation is recognized based on the estimated economic useful life of each asset on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual values and depreciation methods are annually reviewed and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Land is not depreciated.

The Company annually performs an analysis of impairment indicators of property, plant and equipment. An impairment for loss for property, plant and equipment, is only recognized if the related cash-generating unit is devalued. Such condition is also applied if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than it is carrying amount. The recoverable amount of asset or cash-generating unit is the highest of its value in use and its fair value less cost to sell.

The cost of major renovations is capitalized if the future economic benefits exceed the performance standard initially estimated for the asset and are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

Repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are measured by comparing the proceeds with the book value and are recognized as other operating income a (expense), net at the disposal date.

3.2.17. Leasing

The Company adopted IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019. This standard determines that lessees must recognize future liabilities in their liabilities and their right to use the leased asset for all lease agreements, with exemption allowed to short-term or low-value contracts. Short-term or low-value contracts for the exemption of the standard refers to contracts where the individual value of the assets is lower than U.S.$5 and maturity date is before 12 months, represented, mainly, by equipment of technology and vehicles. The Company adopted the standard using a modified retrospective approach that does not require the restatement of the comparative balances, before the leases were recognized under IAS 17 - Leases.

In adopting IFRS 16, the Company recognized the lease liabilities in relation to the agreements that meet the definition of lease, whose liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted based on the incremental loan nominal rate. Assets associated with the right of use were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability on January 1st, 2019, with no impact on retained earnings.

The Company used the following practical expedients allowed by the standard:

(i) the use of a single discount rate for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics;

(ii) leases whose maturity will occur within 12 months of the date of initial adoption of the standard, accounting was as short-term leases directly in the income statement;

(iii) the accounting of lease payments as expenses in the case of leases for which the underlying asset is of low value;

(iv) the use of hindsight in determining the lease term, when the agreement contains options to extend or terminate the lease; and

(v) the Company excluded initial direct costs of measuring the right to use asset at the date of initial adoption.

26

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

A contract is, or contains a lease, if the contract transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration, for which it is necessary to assess whether:

(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset, which may be explicit or implicit, and may be physically distinct or represent substantially the entire capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantial right to replace the asset, then the asset is not identified;

(ii) the Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from using the asset during the contract period; and

(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has the right to decide to change how and for what purpose the asset is used, if:

· has the right to operate the asset, or

· designed the asset, in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At the beginning of the contract, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability that represents the obligation to make payments related to the underlying asset of the lease.

The right-to-use asset is initially measured at cost and comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any payment made on or before the contract start date, plus any direct initial costs incurred and estimated disassembly, removal costs, restoration of the asset in the place where it is located, less any incentive received.

The right-to-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the start date to the end of the useful life of the right to use or the end of the lease term. Except for land agreements that are automatically extended for the same period by means of notification to the lessor, for the other agreements are not allowed automatic renewals and for an indefinite period, as well as the exercise of termination is a right of both parties.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the payments not made, less the incremental loan rate.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change:

(i) in future payments resulting from a change in index or rate;

(ii) in the estimate of the expected amount to be paid in the guaranteed residual value; or

(iii) in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise the purchase option, extension or termination.

When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment amount is recorded in the book value of the right-of-use asset or in the profit and loss statement, if the book value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

27

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

The Company does not have lease agreements with clauses of:

(i) variable payments that are based on the performance of the leased assets;

(ii) guarantee of residual value;

(iii) restrictions, such as, for example, obligation to maintain financial ratios.

Short-term or low-value contracts for the exemption of the standard refers to contracts where the individual value of the assets is lower than U.S.$5 and maturity date is before 12 months, are expensed as incurred.

3.2.18. Intangible assets

These are measured at cost at the time they are initially recognized. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination corresponds to the fair value at the acquisition date. After initial recognition, intangible assets are presented at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, when applicable.

The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the economic useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that their carrying values may be impaired. The amortization period and method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each fiscal year. The amortization of intangible assets with a finite useful life is recognized in the statement of income as an expense related to its use and consistently with the economic useful life of the intangible asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested annually for impairment losses, individually or at the level of the CGU. The allocation is made to the CGU or group of CGUs that represents the lowest level within the entity, in which the goodwill is monitored for management's internal purposes, and that has benefited from the business combination. The Company records in this subgroup mainly goodwill for expected future profitability (goodwill) and easement of passage.

Such test involved the adoption of assumptions and judgments, disclosed in Note 16.

3.2.19. Current and deferred income tax and social contribution

Income taxes comprise income tax and social contribution on net income, current and deferred. These taxes are recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that they are related to items recognized directly in equity. In this case, they are recognized in equity under the equity adjustment.

The current charge is calculated based on the tax laws enacted in the countries in which the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates the positions assumed in the income tax returns with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulations give rise to interpretations and establishes provisions, when appropriate, based on the amounts that must be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax and contribution liabilities are recognized on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred taxes and contributions are determined based on the rates in force on the balance sheet date and, which must be applied when they are realized or when they are settled.

28

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

Deferred tax assets and contributions are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to be used to offset temporary differences, based on projections of future results prepared and based on internal assumptions and future economic scenarios that may, therefore, undergo changes.

The projection for realization of deferred tax assets was prepared based on Management's estimates that are based on significant judgments and assumptions relating to net average pulp and paper prices and the transfer price with the subsidiary based in Austria. However, there are other assumptions that are not under the control of the Company, such as inflation rates, exchange rates, pulp prices practiced in the international market and other economic uncertainties in Brazil, future results may differ from those considered in the preparation of the consolidated projection.

Deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except when the timing of the reversal of temporary differences is controlled by the Company, and if it is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in a foreseeable future.

Deferred taxes and contributions, assets and liabilities, are presented at the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legal right and the intention to offset them when calculating current taxes, generally related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority.

3.2.20. Trade accounts payable

Corresponds to the obligations payable for goods or services acquired in the normal course of the Company´s business, recognized at fair value and, subsequently, measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, adjusted to present value and exchange rate variation when denominated in foreign currency, when applicable.

3.2.21. Loans and financing

Loans and financing are initially recognized at their fair value, net of costs incurred in the transaction and are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts raised and settled is recognized in the statement of income during the period in which the loans and financing are outstanding, using the effective tax rate method.

General or specific borrowing costs, directly attributed to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualified asset, are capitalized as a part of the cost of asset when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits for the entity and that these costs may be measured with reliability. Other loan costs are recognized as expense in the period they are incurred.

3.2.22. Provision, contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent assets are not recorded. The recognition is only performed when are guarantees or judicial decisions favorable and the amount can be measured with safety. Contingent assets, for which such conditions are not met, are only disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when material.

29

The provisions are provided to the extent that the Company expects that is probable that it will disburse cash and the amount can be reliably estimated. Tax, civil, environment and labor proceedings are accrued when losses are assessed as probable and the amounts involved can be reliably measured. When the expectation of loss is possible, a description of the processes and amounts involved is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Contingent liabilities assessed as remote losses are neither accrued nor disclosed.

3.2.23. Asset retirement obligations

These primarily relate to future costs for the decommissioning of industrial landfill and related assets. A provision is recorded as a long-term obligation against property, plant and equipment. The provision and the corresponding property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at fair value, based on the present value of estimated cash flows for future cash payments discounted by an adjusted risk-free rate. The long-term obligation accrues interest using a long-term discount rate. The property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the principal against to cost of sales of the income statement.

3.2.27. Government grants and assistance

Government grants and assistance are recognized at fair value when it is reasonably certain that the conditions established by the granting Governmental Authority were observed and that these subsidies will be obtained. These are recorded as revenue or expense deduction in the income statement for the period of enjoyment of benefit and subsequently are allocated to the tax incentives reserve under shareholders’ equity.

3.2.28. Dividend and interest on own capital

31

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

The Company follows 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.

For operating segment Pulp, revenue recognition is based on the parameters provided by (i) International Commercial Terms (“Incoterms”), when destined for the foreign market and (ii) lead time, when destined for the internal market.

For operating segment Paper and Consumer Goods, revenue recognition is based on the parameters provided by (i) the corresponding International Commercial Terms (“Incoterms”) and (ii) lead time and are products destined for external and internal market.

Are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of taxes, returns, rebates and discounts and recognized in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, when the amount is reliably measured.

Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the rebates and discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A refund liability (included in trade accounts receivable) is recognized for expected rebates and discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. No significant element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a short credit term.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, during the year, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued when converting all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

3.2.33. Employee and management profit sharing

Employees are entitled to profit sharing based on certain goals agreed annually. For the Administrators, the statutory provisions proposed by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders are used as a basis.

3.2.34. Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

As disclosed in note 2, Management used judgments, estimates and accounting assumptions regarding the future, whose uncertainty may lead to results that require a significant adjustment to the book value of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses in future years, are presented below:

· control, significant influence and consolidation (Note 1.1);

· share-based payment transactions (Note 22);

· transfer to control for revenue recognition (Note 28);

· fair value of financial instruments (Note 4);

· annual analysis of the impairment of non-financial assets (Notes 15 and 16);

· expected credit losses (Note 7);

· net realizable value provision for inventories (Note 8);

· annual analyses of recoverability of taxes (Notes 9 e 12);

· fair value of biological assets (Note 13);

· useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with defined useful life (Notes 15 and 16);

The Company reviews the estimates and underlying assumptions used in its accounting estimates on annual basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.

3.3. New standards, revisions and interpretations not yet in force

The new and changed standards and interpretations issued, but not yet in force until the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are described below. The Company intends to adopt these new standards, changes and interpretations, if applicable, when it come into force and does not expect to have a material impact on the financial statements.

3.3.1. Interest Rate Reform – IAS 39 / IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 - Phase 2 (Applicable on / or after January 1, 2021, early adoption permitted)

In continuity with that disclosed in note 3.1.6 about phase 2, it is summarized as follows:

(i) changes in contractual cash flows: Practical expedient that allows to replace, as a consequence of the reform, the effective interest rate of a financial asset or financial liability with a new economically equivalent rate, without derecognition of the contract;

(ii) hedge accounting requirements: End of exemptions for evaluating the effectiveness of hedge accounting relationships (Phase 1); and

(iii) disclosure: Requirements about the disclosure of risks to which the entity is exposed by the reform, risk management and evolution of the IBORs transition.

33

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

The Company assessed the phase 2 amendments and does not expect to have significant impacts on its debts and derivatives linked to LIBOR (note 4.4.2).

3.3.2. IAS 37 - Onerous contracts: Cost to fulfill an onerous contract (Applicable for annual periods on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets clarify what “costs to fulfill a contract” represent when a onerous contract is assessed. Some entities that apply the “incremental cost” approach may have the value of their provisions increased, or new provisions recognized for onerous contracts as a result of the new definition.

The need for clarification was caused by the introduction of IFRS 15, which replaced the existing requirements related to revenue, including guidelines contained in IAS 11, which dealt with construction contracts. While IAS 11 specified which costs were included as costs to fulfill a contract, IAS 37 did not do, generating a diversity of practice. The amendment aims to clarify which costs should be included in the assessment.

3.3.3. Property, plant and equipment - IAS 16 – Revenue earned before an asset is ready for its intended use (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

In the process of building an item of property, plant and equipment for its intended use, an entity may in the same time produce and sell products generated in the process of construction of the item of property, plant and equipment. Before the change proposed by the IASB, in practice, several ways of accounting for such revenues were found. The IASB has amended the standard to provide guidance on accounting for such revenues and related production costs.

With the new proposal, the sale revenue is no longer deducted from the cost of property, plant and equipment, but is recognized in the income statement together with the production costs of these items. IAS 2 Inventories must be applied in the identification and measurement of production costs.

3.3.4. Business Combination IFRS 3 - Reference to the conceptual framework

The amendments update IFRS 3 so that it refers to the 2018 Conceptual Framework instead of the 1989 Structure. It also include in IFRS 3 the requirement that, for obligations within the scope of IAS 37, the buyer applies IAS 37 to determine whether there is a present obligation on the acquisition date due to past events. For a tax within the scope of IFRIC 21 - Levies, the buyer applies IFRIC 21 to determine whether the event that resulted in the obligation to pay the tax occurred up to the date of acquisition.

The amendments add an explicit statement that the buyer does not recognize contingent assets acquired in a business combination.

The changes are applicable to business combinations whose acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the first reporting period beginning on/or after January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted if the entity also adopts all other updated references (published together with the updated Conceptual Framework) on the same date or earlier.

34

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

3.3.5. Presentation of the financial statements – IAS 1 – Classification of liabilities as current and non-current (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023, early adoption permitted)

The amendments to IAS 1 affect only the presentation of liabilities as current or non-current in the balance sheet and not the amount or the time of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expense, or the information disclosed about these items.

The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on the rights existing at the balance sheet date, specify that the classification is not affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to postpone the settlement of the liability, explain that the rights exist if restrictive clauses are complied with at the balance sheet date, and introduce the definition of 'settlement' to clarify that refers to the transfer to a counterparty; a cash value, equity instruments, other assets or services.

(i) liquidity;

(ii) credit;

(iii) exchange rate;

(iv) interest rate;

(v) fluctuations of commodity prices; and

35

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

The Company has policies and procedures for managing market risk which aims:

(i) reduce, mitigate or transfer exposure aiming to protect the Company’s cash flows and assets against fluctuations of market prices of raw material and products, exchange rates and interest rates, price and adjustment index ("market risk") or other assets or instruments traded in liquid markets or not to which the value of the assets, liabilities and cash flows are exposed;

(ii) establish limits and instruments with the purpose of allocating the Company's cash within acceptable credit risk exposure parameters of financial institutions; and

(iii) optimize the process of hiring financial instruments for protection against exposure to risk, drawing on natural hedges and correlations between the prices of different assets and markets, avoiding any waste of funds used to hiring inefficient transactions. All financial transactions entered into by the Company aim to protect existing exposures, with the assumption of new risks prohibited, except those arising from its operating activities.

Hedging instruments are hired exclusively for hedging purposes and are based on the following terms:

(i) cash flow protection against currency mismatch;

(ii) revenue flow protection for debt settlement and interest to fluctuation of interest rate and currencies; and

(iii) fluctuation in pulp price and other supplies related to production.

Treasury team is responsible for identification, evaluating and seeking protection against possible financial risk. Board of Directors approves the financial policies that establish the principles and guidance for global risk management, the areas involved in these activities, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and the allocation of cash surplus.

The Company uses the most liquid financial instruments, and:

(i) does not hired leveraged transactions or with other forms of embedded options that change its purpose of protection (hedge);

(ii) does not have double indexed debt or other forms of implied options; and

(iii) does not have any transaction that require margin deposits or other forms of collateral for counterparty credit risk.

The Company does not adopt hedge accounting. Therefore, gains and losses from derivative operations are fully recognized in the statements of income, as disclosed in Note 27.

4.1.3. Fair value of loans and financing

The financial instruments are recognized at their contractual amounts. Derivative financial instrument agreements, used exclusively for hedging purposes, are measured at fair value.

In order to determine the market values of financial instruments traded in public and liquid markets, the market closing prices were used at the balance sheet dates. The fair value of interest rate and indexes swaps is calculated as the present value of their future cash flows discounted at the current interest rates available for operations with similar remaining terms and maturities. This calculation is based on the quotations of B3 and ANBIMA for interest rate transactions in Brazilian Reais and the British Bankers Association and Bloomberg for London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate transactions. The fair value of forward or forward exchange agreements is determined using the forward exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates, in accordance with B3 prices.

In order to determine the fair value of financial instruments traded in over-the-counter or unliquidated markets, a number of assumptions and methods based on normal market conditions and not for liquidation or forced sale, are used at each balance sheet date, including the use of option pricing models such as Garman-Kohlhagen, and estimates of discounted future cash flows. The fair value of agreements for the fixing of oil bunker prices is obtained based on the Platts index.

The Management considers that for its other financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, its book values ​​approximate to their fair values ​​and therefore the information on their fair values ​​is not being presented.

4.2. Liquidity risk

The Company’s guidance is to maintain a strong cash and marketable securities position to meet its financial and operating obligations. The amount kept 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 year ended December 31, 2020, the impacts in cash and marketable securities were as expected and the Company believes that, even with the impact of the devaluation of the real against the U.S. Dollars caused by the pandemic of COVID-19, payments of derivative instruments that matured in this period were offset by higher generation of operating cash.

Suzano S.A.    Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

As material fact disclosed to the market on February 14, 2020, the Company, voluntarily prepaid the principal amount of U.S.$750,000 (equivalent, on the transaction date, to R$3,240,229), related to an export prepayment, with quarterly interest payments of 1.15% p.a. plus quarterly LIBOR, which was scheduled to mature in February 14, 2023. At the same time, the Company entered into a new transaction related to an export prepayment in the amount of U.S.$850,000 (equivalent, on the transaction date, to R$3,672,259), of 1.15% p.a. plus quarterly LIBOR, which was scheduled to mature in February 13, 2026.

Such transactions were performed under market conditions, considered attractive by the Company, and even though they were carried out before the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, they were in line with the debt management strategy based on cost reduction and extension of the term portfolio, thus reinforcing our liquidity position.

In line with the announcement to the market on March 30, 2020, there was a disbursement of U.S.$500,000 (equivalent to R$2,638,221 on the transaction date) 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 to bring even more strength to the liquidity position of the Company. On August 13, 2020, the Company announcement the market that returned in advance this revolving credit facility and such resources are fully available as a source of additional liquidity for the Company, if necessary.

4.3. Credit risk management

It is related to the possibility of non-compliance with the counterparty commitment in an operation. Credit risk is managed on a group and arises from cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, bank deposits, Bank Deposit Certificates ("CDB"), fixed income box, repurchase agreements, letters of credit, insurance, receivable terms of customers, advances to suppliers for new projects, among others.

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. However, in July 2020, the Company began to receive fewer requests for extensions, returning to levels prior to the crisis.

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.

The internal analyzes and credit metrics do not demonstrate that these delays may have a significant impact on the Company's liquidity position. There was also an increase in delays in Latin America, however, for this region, the Company has credit insurance policies that mitigate most of the risks arising from the default of its customers.

The Company has commercial and credit policies aimed at mitigating any risks arising from its customers' default, mainly through hiring of credit insurance policies, bank guarantees provided by first-tier banks and collaterals according to liquidity. Moreover, portfolio customers are subject to internal credit analysis aimed at assessing the risk regarding payment performance, both for exports and for domestic sales.

For customer credit assessment, the Company applies a matrix based on the analysis of qualitative and quantitative aspects to determine individual credit limits to each customer according to the identified risk.

4.4. Market risk management

The Company is exposed to several market risks, mainly, related to fluctuations in exchange rate variation, interest rates, inflation rates and commodity prices that may affect its results and financial situation.

To mitigate the impacts, the Company has processes to monitor exposures and policies that support the implementation of risk management.

The policies establish the limits and the instruments to be implemented for the purpose of:

(i) protecting cash flow due to currency mismatch;

(ii) mitigating exposure to interest rates;

(iii) reducing the impacts of fluctuation in commodity’s prices; and

(iv) change of debt indexes.

The market risk management comprises the identification, the assessment and the implementation of the strategy, with the effective hiring of adequate financial instruments.

4.4.1. Exchange rate risk management

The fundraising financing and the currency hedge policy of the Company are guided considering substantial part of net revenue arises from exports with prices negotiated in U.S.Dollar, while substantial part of the production costs is attached to the Brazilian Real. This structure allows the Company to hired export financing in U.S.Dollar and to reconcile financing payments with the cash flows of receivables from sales in foreign market, using the international bond market as an important portion of its capital structure, and providing a natural cash hedge for these commitments.

Moreover, the Company hires U.S.Dollar selling transactions in the futures markets, including strategies involving options, to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of revenue. Such transactions are limited to a percentage of the net surplus foreign currency over an 18-months’ time horizon and therefore, are matched to the availability of currency for sale in the short term.

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$5.1967).

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.

The following table set forth the potential impacts in absolute amounts:

	December 31, 2020
	Effect on profit or loss and equity
	Probable (base value)			Possible (25%)			Remote (50%)
Cash and cash equivalents		6,370,201			1,592,550			3,185,101
Trade accounts receivable		1,938,614			484,654			969,307
Trade accounts payable		(492,617	)		(123,154	)		(246,309	)
Loans and financing		(58,145,087	)		(14,536,272	)		(29,072,544	)
Liabilities for asset acquisitions and subsidiaries		(313,022	)		(78,256	)		(156,511	)

4.4.1.2. Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange rate exposure – financial instruments derivatives

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 over the past 12 months, 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 December 2020 it was R$5.1967, with an increase of 29%. These market movements caused a negative impact on the mark-to-market hedge position entered by the Company.

43

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

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, from the base scenario of December 31, 2020.

It is important to mention that the impact caused by fluctuations in the exchange rate, whether positive or negative, will also affect the hedged asset. Therefore, even though there was a negative impact on the fair value of derivative transactions in the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this impact was partially offset by the positive effect on the Company's cash flow. In addition, considering that hedge contracts are limited by the policy in a maximum of 75% of the total exposure in U.S. Dollars, the exchange rate devaluation will always benefit, in a net way, the Company's cash generation in the long run.

The following table set forth the potential impacts assuming these scenarios:

	December 31, 2020
	Effect on profit or loss and equity
	Probable (base value)			Possible (+25%)			Remote (+50%)			Possible (-25%)		Remote (-50%)
		5.1967			6.4959			7.7951			3.8975	2.5984
Financial instruments derivatives
Derivative Non-Deliverable Forward (‘NDF’)		7,948			(102,756	)		(205,512	)		102,756	205,512

Derivative swaps		(6,503,859	)		(4,436,537	)		(8,873,083	)		4,436,554	8,873,100

4.4.2. Interest rate risk management

Fluctuations in interest rates may imply effects of increased or reduced costs on new loans and operations already contracted.

The Company is constantly looking for alternatives for the use of financial instruments in order to avoid negative impacts on its cash flow.

Considering the extinction of LIBOR over the next few years, the Company is evaluating its contracts with clauses that envisage the discontinuation of the interest rate. Most debt contracts linked to LIBOR have some clause to replace this rate with a reference index or equivalent interest rate and, for contracts that do not have a specific clause, a renegotiation will be carried out between the parties. Derivative contracts linked to LIBOR provide for a negotiation between the parties for the definition of a new rate or an equivalent rate will be provided by the calculation agent.

It is worth mentioning that the clauses related to replacement of the indexes in the Company's debt contracts indexed to LIBOR, establish that any replacement of the indexation rate in the contracts can only be evaluated in two circumstances (i) after the communication from an official government entity with formalization of the replacement/extinguishment of the effective rate of the contract, and this communication must define the exact date on which LIBOR will be extinguished and / or (ii) syndicated operations begin to be executed at a rate indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Therefore, the negotiation of debt contracts and its related derivatives will be started after these events.

44

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

The Company has mapped all contracts subject to IBOR reform that have yet to transition to an alternative benchmark rate and as of December 31, 2020 the Company has R$20,118,831 related to loan and financing contracts and R$1,567,520 related to derivative contracts and so far, it awaits the event of official extinction of LIBOR to start negotiating its contracts with counterparties.

The Company understands that it will not be necessary to change the risk management strategy due to the change in the indexes of the financial contracts linked to LIBOR.

The Company believes it is reasonable to assume that the negotiation of the indexes in its contracts, when the official trigger allows, will move towards to the replacement of LIBOR by SOFR, because the available information indicates that SOFR will be the new interest rate adopted by the capital market. Based on the information available, the Company does not expect to have significant impact on its debts and derivatives linked to LIBOR.

4.4.2.1. Sensitivity analysis – exposure to interest rates – except financial instruments derivatives

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity that variations in operations impacted by the rates: Interbank Deposit Rate (“CDI”), Long Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”), Special System for Settlement and Custody ("SELIC") and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) which may impact the 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, particularly exchange rates, remain constant. The other scenarios considered appreciation/depreciation of 25% and 50% in the market interest rates.

The following table set forth the potential impacts in absolute amounts:

	December 31, 2020
	Effect on profit or loss and equity
	Probable		Possible (25%)		Remote (50%)
CDI/SELIC
Cash and cash equivalents		115,032		546	1,093

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, 2020. The probable scenario was extrapolated considering an appreciation/depreciation of 25% and 50% in the US-CPI to define the possible and remote scenarios, respectively, in absolute amounts.

	December 31, 2020
	Impact of an increase/decrease of US-CPI on the fair value
	Probable (base value)		Possible (25%)			Remote (50%)
	2.16%		2.70%			3.24%
Embedded derivative in forestry partnership and standing wood supply agreements		354,900		(158,373	)		(324,287	)

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 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. Pulp price protection operations available on the market have low liquidity and low 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 marine fuel 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, during the first quarters of 2020. In this context, and considering attractive market conditions, the Company increased its marine fuel 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.

46

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

In the year ended December 31, 2020, the contracted position to hedge its logistics costs was purchased in the amount of US$37,757 (US$0.3645 as of December 31, 2019).

4.4.3.1. Commodity price risk management

This analysis assumes that all other variables, except price risk, remain constant. The other scenarios considered appreciation/depreciation of 25% and 50% of oil price in the market.

The following table set forth the potential impacts assuming these scenarios:

	December 31, 2020
	Impact of an increase/decrease of price risk
	Probable (base value)		Possible (25%)		Remote (50%)
VLSFO/Brent derivative		15,759		43,614		87,227

4.5. Derivative financial instruments

The Company determines the fair value of derivative contracts, which differ from the amounts realized in the event of early settlement due to bank spreads and market factors at the time of quotation. The amounts presented by the Company are based on an estimate using market factors and use data provided by third parties, measured internally and compared to calculations performed by external consultants.

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 the agreed dates.

A summary of the methodologies used for purposes of determining fair value by type of instrument is presented below:

(i) Swap: the future value of the asset and liability are estimated by the cash flows projected by the market interest rate of the currency in which the tip of the swap is denominated. The present value of the US dollar-denominated tip is measured using the discount using the exchange coupon curve (the remuneration, in US dollars, of the Reais invested in Brazil) and in the case of the BRL-denominated tip, the discount is made using Brazil's interest curve, being the future curve of the DI, considering both the credit risk of the Company and the counterparty. The exception is pre-fixed contracts x US$ where the present value at the tip denominated in US$ is measured through the discount using the LIBOR curve, disclosed by Bloomberg. The fair value of the contract is the difference between these two points. Interest rate curves were obtained from B3.

47

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

(ii) Options (Zero Cost Collar): the fair value was calculated based on the Garman-Kohlhagen model, considering both Company’s and the counterparty credit risk. Volatility information and interest rates are observable and obtained from B3 exchange information to calculate the fair values.

(iii) Non-deliverable forward (NDF): a projection of the future currency quote is made, using the exchange coupon curves and the future DI curve for each maturity. Next, it is verified the difference between this quotation obtained and the rate that was contracted for the operation, considering the credit risk of the Company and the counterparty. This difference is multiplied by the notional value of each contract and brought to present value by the future DI curve. Interest rate curves were obtained from B3.

(iv) Swap US-CPI: liability cash flows are projected by the US inflation curve US-CPI, obtained by the implicit rates for inflation-linked US securities (“Treasury Protected against Inflation - TIPS”), disclosed by Bloomberg. Cash flows from the asset components are projected at the fixed rate implicit in the embedded derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivative is the difference between the two components, adjusted to present value by the curve of the exchange coupon obtained from B3.

(v) Swap VLSFO/Brent (marine fuel): a future projection of the asset price is made, using the future price curve disclosed by Bloomberg. Next, it is verified the difference between this projection obtained and the rate that the operation was contracted, considering both of Company’s and counterpart’s credit risk. This difference is multiplied by the notional value of each contract and adjusted to present value by the LIBOR curve disclosed by Bloomberg.

The yield curves used to calculate the fair value in December 31, 2020, are as set forth below:

Interest rate curves
Term	Brazil	United States of America	Dollar coupon
1 month	1.92% p.a.	0.14% p.a.	4.95% p.a.
6 months	2.11% p.a.	0.20% p.a.	1.56% p.a.
1 year	2.86% p.a.	0.19% p.a.	1.20% p.a.
2 years	4.19% p.a.	0.20% p.a.	1.01% p.a.
3 years	5.08% p.a.	0.25% p.a.	0.99% p.a.
5 years	6.05% p.a.	0.44% p.a.	1.16% p.a.
10 years	7.20% p.a.	0.95% p.a.	1.56% p.a.

1) The variation is due to the increase in the exchange rate in the year ended December 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 current contracts and the respective protected risks are set forth below:

i) Swap CDI x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps exchanging the variation in the Interbank Deposit rate (“DI”) for a fixed rate in United States Dollars (“US$”). The objective is to change the debt index in Reais to US$, in compliance with the Company's natural exposure of receivables in US$.

ii) Swap IPCA x CDI: positions in conventional swaps exchanging variation of the Amplified Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) for DI rate. The objective is to change the debt index in Reais, in compliance with the Company's cash position in Reais, which is also indexed to DI.

iii) IPCA swap x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps exchanging variation of the IPCA for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to change the debt index in Reais to US$, in compliance with the Company's natural exposure of receivables in US$.

49

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019  

iv) Swap LIBOR x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps exchanging post-fixed rate (LIBOR) for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to protect the cash flow from changes in the US interest rate.

v) Pre Fixed Swap R$ x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps a fixed rate in Reais for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to change the exposure of debts in Reais to US$, in compliance with the Company's natural exposure of receivables in US$.

vi) Zero-Cost Collar: positions in an instrument that consists of the simultaneous combination of purchase of put options and sale of call options of US$, with the same principal and maturity value, with the objective of protecting the cash flow of exports. In this strategy, an interval is established where there is no deposit or receipt of financial margin on position adjustments. The objective is to protect the cash flow of exports against decrease Real.

vii) NDF - Non Deliverable Forward: positions sold in futures contracts of US$ with the objective of protecting the cash flow of exports against the decrease in the Real.

viii) Swap Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (“VLSFO”)/Brent(oil): oil purchase positions, with the objective of protecting logistical costs related to ocean freight contracts, against the increase in oil prices.

ix) Swap US-CPI: The embedded derivative refers to sale swap contracts of variations of US-CPI within the terms 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 year, devaluing the Real against the US Dollar by 40%, as previously mentioned. The variation in the fair value of derivatives for the year ended December 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 year ended December 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.

Current		406,850			997,201
Non-current		834,575			708,914

1) Social Integration Program (“PIS”) and Social Security Funding Contribution (“COFINS”): Credits whose realization is in connection with depreciation year of the corresponding asset.

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 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 (Note 20.3.1).

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 Espírito Santo, Maranhão, Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo and Bahia, where the Company realizes the credits through sale of credits to third parties, after approval from the State Ministry of Finance. Credits are also being realized through consumption in its consumer goods (tissue) operations in the domestic market that are already operational in Maranhão.

5) Special Regime of Tax Refunds for Export Companies ("Reintegra"): Reintegra is a program that aims to refund the residual costs of taxes paid throughout the exportation chain to taxpayers, to make them more competitive in foreign markets.

6) Includes the provision for discount on sale to third parties of the accumulated ICMS credit in Maranhão and the provision for full loss of the low probability of realization of the units of Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul and Bahia due to the difficulty of its realization.

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 year 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 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 year ended December 31, 2020. There is no provision for tax related to the profit of such wholly-owned subsidiary in 2020.

1) The effect of the difference in taxation of subsidiaries is substantially due to the difference between the nominal rates of Brazil and subsidiaries abroad.

2) The Brazilian thin capitalization rules establish that interest paid or credited by a Brazilian entity to a related party abroad may only be deducted for income tax and social contribution 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 December 31, 2020 the Company did not meet all limits and requirements, therefore a provision for tax payment was recorded.

3) Tax incentives applicable to ICMS, which is deducted from the calculation basis of Income Tax and Social Contribution.

4) Merger of legal entities (note 1.1).

The calculation of fair value of the biological assets falls under Level 3 in the hierarchy set forth in IFRS 13 — Measurement of Fair Value, due to the complexity and structure of calculation.

The main assumptions, Average annual growth (“IMA”), discount rate, and average gross selling price of eucalyptus, stand out as being the most sensitive where increases or reductions in these assumptions generate significant gains or losses in the measurement of fair value.

The assumptions used in measurement of the fair value of biological assets were:

i) Average cycle of forest formation of 6 and 7 years;

ii) Effective area of forest from the 3^rd year of planting;

iii) IMA consists of the estimated volume of production of wood with bark in m³ per hectare, ascertained based on the genetic material used in each region, silvicultural practices and forest management, production potential, climate factors and ground conditions;

iv) The estimated average standard cost per hectare includes expenses on silvicultural and forest management applied to each year of formation of the biological cycle of forests, plus costs of land lease agreements and opportunity cost of own land;

v) The average gross selling prices of eucalyptus were based on specialized research on transactions carried out by the Company with independent third parties; and

vi) The discount rate used in cash flows is measured based on capital structure and other economic assumptions in an independent market participant in the sale of standing wood (forests).

The following table discloses the measurement of the premises adopted:

	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Planted useful area (hectare)		1,020,176		988,720
Mature assets		111,866		86,352
Immature assets		908,310		902,368
Average annual growth (IMA) – m3/hectare/year		38.43		38.34
Average gross sale price of eucalyptus – R$/m3		70.22		66.81
Discount rate - %		8.9%		8.4%

The pricing model considers net cash flows, after deduction of taxes on profit at the applicable rates.

The fair value adjustment justified by variation of indicators mentioned above, which combined, resulted in a positive variation of R$466,484 recognized under other operating income (expense), net.

The other tax and social security lawsuits refer to various taxes, such as IRPJ, CSLL, PIS, COFINS, ICMS, ISS, Withholding Income Tax ("IRRF"), PIS and COFINS, mainly due to differences in interpretation of applicable tax rules and information provided in accessory obligations.

The most relevant tax cases are set forth below:

(i) Income tax assessment - IRPJ/CSLL - Swap of industrial and forestry assets: in December 2012, the Company received a tax assessment for the collection of income tax and social contribution, alleging unpaid tax on a capital gain in February 2007, closing of the transaction, when the Company executed an agreement with International Paper for the swap of industrial and forestry assets.

On January 19, 2016, the Tax Federal Administrative Court (“CARF - Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais”) rejected as per the casting vote of CARF’s President, the appeal filed by the Company in the administrative process. The Company was notified of the decision on May 25, 2016 and due to the impossibility of new appeal and the consequent closure of the case at the administrative level, decided to continue the discussion with the Judiciary. The Company presented judicial guarantee, which was accepted, and is now awaiting the judgement of the case. We maintain our position to not constitute provisions for contingencies, based on the Company’s and its external legal advisors’ opinion that the probability of loss on this case is possible. The documents have been concluded for judgment since November 25, 2017. In the year ended December 31, 2020 the amount is R$2,296,032 (R$2,251,462 as of December 31, 2019).

(ii) Income tax assessment - IRPJ/CSLL - disallowance of depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses – 2010: in December 2015, we received a tax assessment requiring the payment of IRPJ and CSLL, questioning the deductibility of depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses of 2010 included by us in the calculation of income tax expense. We present administrative appeal on the legal period, judged partially valid. The decision was object of voluntary recourse, presented by us in November 2017. On October 16, 2018, the judgement was converted into a diligence, through resolution n. 1402-000723. Currently, the resolution is expected to be formalized. In the year ended December 31, 2020 the amount is R$712,531 (R$695,679 as of December 31, 2019).

(iii) IRPJ/CSLL - partial approval: the Company requested approval to offset 1997 tax losses with amounts owed to the tax authorities. The authorities approved in March 2009, only R$83,000, which generated a difference of R$51,000. The Company is still awaiting the conclusion of the analysis of the credits discussed at the administrative level following a favorable decision of CARF in August 2019, which granted the Voluntary Appeal filed by the Company. For the remaining credit, the Company has appealed the rejection of the tax credits and obtained a partially favorable decision and the final decision is under discussion in the judicial level. Shortly after, an appeal was filed, which was judged in session, it was determined the conversion of the done in diligence. On November 6, 2018, a decision was filed reinforcing the tax authorities’ conclusion at the first approval and our arguments. In the year ended December 31, 2020 the amount is R$104,873 (R$254,081 as of December 31, 2019).

(iv) Tax incentive - Agency for the Development of Northeastern Brazil (“ADENE”): in 2002 the Company was granted its request by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (“Receita Federal do Brasil”) to benefit from reductions in corporate income tax and non-refundable surcharges calculated on operating profits (as defined) for Aracruz facilities A and B (period from 2003 to 2013) and plant C (period from 2003 to 2012), when the qualification reports for the tax reductions are approved by SUDENE.

In 2004, the Company was served an Official Notice by the liquidator of the former Superintendence for the Development of the Northeast (“SUDENE”), who reported that, the right to use the benefit previously granted is unfounded and would be cancelled. In 2005, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service served the Company an assessment notice requiring the payment of the amounts of the tax incentive used, plus interest. After administrative discussion, the assessment notice was partially upheld and recognized the Company’s right to the tax incentive through 2003.

The Company's Management, supported by its legal counsel, believes that the decision to cancel the tax benefits is erroneous and should not prevail, either with respect to benefits already used, or with respect to benefits not used until the corresponding final periods. In the year ended December 31, 2020 the amount is R$127,391 (R$125,191 as of December 31, 2019).

(v) PIS/COFINS – Goods and services – 2009 to 2011: in December 2013, the Company was assessed by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service demanding the collection of PIS and COFINS credits disallowed because they are not allegedly linked to its operating activities. In the first instance, the objection filed by the Company was dismissed. After the Voluntary Appeal was filed, it was partially provided in April 2016. From this decision, the National Treasury filed a Special Appeal to the Superior Chamber and the Company filed a Statement of Appeal, which are still pending judgment. The updated amount involved up to December 31, 2020 is R$166,355 (R$162,750 as of December 31, 2019).

(vi) Offsetting - IRRF - period 2000: the Company filed a lawsuit for offsetting IRRF credits measured in the year ended December 31, 2000 with debts owed to the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service. In April 2008, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service partially recognized the credit in favor of the Company. From this decision, the Company filed a Voluntary Appeal with CARF, which is pending judgment. In the year ended December 31, 2020 the amount is R$109,903 (R$108,320 as of December 31, 2019).

(vii) Tax assessment - Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution: on October 5, 2020, the Company was notified about the tax assessment issued by the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service claiming the payment of Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution, in the total amount of R$454,898, resulting from the remeasurement of profit of its wholly-owned subsidiary Suzano Trading Ltd in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Besides the Company, Statutory Executive Officers’ (“Officers”) from Suzano Trading were also included as co-responsible. The legal counsel considered the risk of loss as possible in regards to the Company and, in reference to the Officers, also possible but with more chances of winning (possible to remote).

(viii) Tax assessment - taxation on a universal basis - year 2015: on November 3, 2020, the Company received a tax assessment for the collection of income tax and social contribution, alleging unpaid tax on calendar year 2015, due to the lack of addition, in determining taxable income and the social contribution calculation basis, of profits earned by subsidiaries abroad. The legal advisors hired by the Company classify the prognosis as a possible loss. Currently, the defense presented at the administrative level is awaiting judgment. In the year ended December 31, 2020 the amount is R$145,026.

20.2.2. Labor

On December 31, 2020, the Company was a defendant in 1,653 (one thousand, six hundred and fifty-three) labor lawsuits, totaling R$263,971.

The Company also has several lawsuits in which employees’ unions in the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, Maranhão, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul are included.

20.2.3. Civil and environmental

On December 31, 2020, the Company is a defendant in approximately 324 (three hundred and twenty-four) civil and environmental lawsuits, totaled the amount of R$3,068,884. Most of these civil lawsuits refers to claims for compensation by former employees or third parties for alleged occupational illnesses and workers' compensation, collection lawsuits and bankruptcy situations, reimbursement of funds claimed from delinquent landowners and possessory actions filed in order to protect the Company's equity. The Company has insurance for public liability that covers, within the limits set in the policy, unfavorable sentences in the civil courts for claims for compensation of losses.

Regarding civil matters, we are involved in 2 (two) Public Civil Claims (“Ação Civil Pública”) filed by the Federal Public Prosecution Office requesting (i) a preliminary injunction to prohibit Company’s trucks from transporting wood in federal highways above legal weight restrictions (ii) an increase in the fine for cases of overweight and (iii) compensation for damages to property allegedly caused to federal highways, the environment and the economic order, and compensation for moral damages. One of the Claims was ruled against the Company. Suzano presented an appeal to the Court of Appeals, requesting an interim relief to stay the effects of such ruling until a final decision is reached. We are currently waiting for the ruling on the interim relief by the 1st Regional Federal Court Appeals.

The Company is still defendant in a 2 (two) Public Civil Claim filed by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office regarding real properties acquired by Company in the northern region of the state of Espírito Santo. In the 1st. the Federal Prosecutor requested (i) the nullity of the deeds (ii) compensation for moral damages and (iii) suspension of financing for Company’s operations in the municipalities of São Mateus and Conceição da Barra, both located in the state of Espírito Santo. A preliminary injunction was granted, which blocked around 6,000 hectares of Company’s land in such municipalities and suspended any financing for Suzano by BNDES for either production or planting of eucalyptus pulp on the properties relating to the Public Civil Claim. In the 2nd, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, requesting the nullity of the deeds of some other proprieties acquired in the northern of the state of Espírito Santo. A preliminary injunction was granted blocking around 5,601 hectares of Company’s lands in the same municipalities of São Mateus and Conceição da Barra. Suzano presented its judicial defense and an appeal against such injunction, which is still pending decision. Both cases are pending ruling by the Federal District Court of São Mateus and remain in pre-trial phase. The Company believes that are good grounds for our defense since the acquisition of the lands discussed in both Public Civil Claims was made in accordance with applicable laws and practices applicable at the time of purchase.

Regarding environmental matters, we are involved in 3 (three) relevant Public Civil Claims filed by the Federal Public Prosecution Office in the northeast region of Brazil challenging the State’s environmental agency’s jurisdiction to grant environmental licenses. The Federal Public Prosecution Office alleges that the environmental licensing proceedings related to the forest formation and installation of our industrial plant in the state of Maranhão should be carried out by the Brazilian Federal Environmental Agency (“Agência Federal do Meio Ambiente - IBAMA”). The risks involved in such cases are delays in our plantation schedule and the suspension of the Maranhão unit activities until new permit is issued. Although an injunction was granted on one of this claims suspending the forest formation in a certain region of the State of Maranhão, we believe there are good grounds for our defense, since IBAMA does not acknowledge having jurisdiction to perform the licensing proceedings and there is no clear legal ground to sustain such jurisdiction. Superior court’s is still to rule on an appeal against the injunction granted against Suzano and the other claims are still pending a decision by the trial judge.

In addition, we are involved in a dispute related to possible environmental damage in Cubatão city located in the State of São Paulo), allegedly caused by Companhia Santista, a company that was acquired by Ripasa, which in turn was acquired by Suzano in 2008. This lawsuit is ongoing for over 30 (thirty) years and involves more than 20 (twenty) other companies. The lawsuit seeks reparation for the environmental damage allegedly caused in area under environmental protection of Serra do Mar’s State Park by several companies that maintained activities in the industrial district of Cubatão until the 1990s. On September 2017, the lawsuit was ruled in favor of the plaintiff, sentencing the defendant companies to recover the damages allegedly caused or, should the environment be already recovered, to pay a compensation of equal value of the cost of the recovery. This compensation is to be allocated to expand Serra do Mar’s State Park. The ruling, however, did not determined the amount that should be paid as compensation, leaving the definition of this value to a latter procedural stage. This ruling was contested by the companies on an appeal and a decision by the State Supreme Court is still pending.

20.3. Contingent assets

20.3.1. Exclusion of VAT (ICMS) from PIS and COFINS tax base

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have filed lawsuits to discuss their rights to exclude ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax basis, comprising periods since March 1992 and comprising, eventual amendments in the regulation after the issuance of Law nº 12,973/2014.

Regarding this matter, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) ruled on March 15, 2017, at first without the possibility of reversing the understanding on the merits, that the ICMS does not part of the calculation basis of relating contributions. The Federal Government filed an amendment of judgment in October 2017 aiming, among other requests, to modulate the effects of related decision based on the judgment of said amendment of judgment, which are still pending judgment.

Based on the decision of the Supreme Court and the legal opinions of its legal advisors, the Company understands that a change in the outcome of the Supreme Court judgment is unlikely. Accordingly, the ICMS was excluded from the calculation basis of such contributions as from August 2018, based on a favorable decision rendered by the Company, still pending final judgment.

21. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Under the terms of the benefit plan agreement, for employees who have a salary above 10 URS's, in addition to the 0.5% contribution, the contributions of the company follow the employees' contributions and affect on the portion of the salary that exceeds the 10 URS's, which can vary from 1% to 6% of the nominal salary. This plan is called Basic Contribution1.

The Company's contributions to the employee are 0.5% of the nominal salary that does not exceed 10 Suzano reference units (“URS”), even though there is no contribution from the employee. This plan is called Basic Contribution 2.

From August 2020, for employees who have a salary lower than 10 URS’s, they will be able to invest 0.5 or 1.0% of the nominal salary and the Company will monitor the employee's contributions. The employee can choose to invest up to 12% of the salary in the Suzano Prev pension plan, and the excess of Basic Contribution 1 or 2 may be invested in the supplementary contribution, where there is no counterpart from the Company and the employee must consider the two contributions to limit 12% of the salary.

22. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

For year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had 3 (three) share-based, long-term compensation plans, (i) Phantom stock option plan (“PS”) and (ii) Share Appreciation Rights (“SAR”), both settled in local currency and (iii) common stock options, settled in shares.

22.1. Long term compensation plans (“PS and SAR”)

Certain executives and key members of the Management have a long-term compensation plan linked to the share price with payment in cash.

Throughout 2020, the Company granted the SAR and PLUS (Share Appreciation Rights) (“SAR”) plans of phantom stock options. In this plan, the beneficiaries should invest 5% of the total amount corresponding to the number of options of phantom shares at the grant date and 20% after 3 (three) years to acquire the option. The Company also granted long-term incentive plans to its key members as part of its retention policy. In this program, the beneficiary does not make any investment.

The vesting period of options may vary from 3 (three) to 5 (five) years, as of the grant date, in accordance with the characteristics of each plan.

The price of the share is calculated based on the average share quote of the 90 previous trading sessions starting from the closing quote on the last business day of the month prior to the month of the grant. The installments of these programs will be adjusted by the variation in the price of the SUZB3 at B3, between the granting and the payment period. On dates when the SUZB3 shares is not traded, the quote of the previous trading session will be considered.

The phantom share options will only be due if the beneficiary is an employee of the Company on the payment date. In case of termination of the employment by initiative of the Company or by initiative of the beneficiary, before the vesting period is completed, the executive will not be entitled to receive all benefits, unless otherwise established in the agreements.

The rollforward is set forth below:

22.2 Common stock option plan

Additionally, in 2020 the Company established a Restricted Shares plan based on the Company's performance (Program 6). The Plan associates the quantity of Restricted Shares granted to the Company's performance in relation to the operating cash generation target. The quantity of the restricted stock granted is defined in financial terms and is subsequently converted into shares based on the last 60 (sixty) stock exchange trading days on December 31, 2020 of SUZB3 at B3.

After measurement of operating cash generation 2020, the Restricted Shares will be granted immediately, as they not have to comply to the vesting period. However, the beneficiaries of the grant must comply to the lockup period of thirty-six (36) months during which they will not be able to market the shares.

In the event that the beneficiaries leave the Company before the end of the fiscal year for the measurement of operating cash generation, they will lose the right to the grant of Restricted Share.

The position is set forth below:

Program		Date of grant		Deadline for the options to become exercisable	Price on grant date	Shares Granted		Restricted year for transfer of shares
	Program 4		01/02/2018	01/02/2019	R$39.10		130,435	01/02/2022

22.3 Measurement assumptions

In the case of the phantom shares plan, since the settlement is in cash, the fair value of options is remeasured at the end of each period based on the Monte Carlo Method (“MMC”), which is multiplied by the Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) in the period (which varies between 75% and 125%, depending on the performance of SUZB3 in relation to its peers in Brazil).

The fair value of the plan of common shares of Program 6, was estimated based on the binomial probability model, which considers the dividends distribution rate and the following assumptions:

(i) the expectation of volatility was calculated for each exercise date, considering the remaining time to complete the vesting year, as well as the historical volatility of returns, using the GARCH model for calculating volatility;

(ii) the expectation of average life of phantom stocks and stock options was defined by the remaining term until the limit exercise date;

(iii) the expectation of dividends was defined based on historical earnings per share of the Suzano;

(iv) risk-free weighted average interest rate used was the Brazilian Reais yield curve (DI expectation) observed on the open market, which is the best comparison basis with the Brazilian market risk-free interest rates. The rate used for each exercise date changes according to the vesting year.

The amounts corresponding to the services received and recognized are set forth below:

29. SEGMENT INFORMATION

29.1 Criteria for identifying operating segments

The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments through the operating result. The information disclosed 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 set forth below:

i) Pulp: comprises production and sale of hardwood eucalyptus pulp and fluff pulp 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 foreign markets. Consumer goods (tissue) sales are classified under this segment due to its immateriality.

Information related to total assets by reportable segment is not disclosed, as it is not included in the set of information made available to the Company’s administration, which makes investment decisions and determine allocation of resources on a consolidated basis.

In addition, with respect to geographical information related to non-current assets, the Company does not disclose such information, as all of our property, plant and equipment, biological and intangible assets are located in Brazil.
