Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

1 The management of Suzano S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

2 The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s Statutory Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with and in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with and in compliance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

3 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

4 The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, is based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Suzano S.A.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Suzano S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Goodwill impairment test -
Pulp Cash-Generating Unit

As described in Notes 3.2.20 and 16.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the goodwill associated with the Pulp Cash-Generating unit ("CGU") was BRL 7,897,051 thousand as of December 31, 2021, arising from Fibria acquisition in January, 2019. Potential impairment is identified by comparing the value in use of the CGU to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Value in use is estimated by management using a discounted cash flow model. Management's cash flow projections for Pulp CGU included significant judgments and assumptions relating to net average pulp prices and the discount rate.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment test of Pulp CGU is a critical audit matter are there was the significant judgment by management when developing the value in use measurement for the CGU. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management's cash flow projections and the significant assumptions net average pulp prices and discount rate. In addition, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained regarding the estimated discounted cash flow model and discount rate.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's goodwill impairment test, including controls over the valuation of the Company's Pulp CGU. These procedures also included, among others, testing management's process for developing the value in use estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, related to the net average pulp prices and the discount rate. Evaluating management's assumptions relating to net average pulp prices involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering; (i) the current and past performance of the CGU, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit, (iv) assess and evaluate the objectivity, competence and capacity of the experts engaged by management in developing the value in use measurement of the CGU. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company's discounted cash flow model and the discount rate.

Recoverability of deferred tax assets

As described in Notes 3.2.21 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's consolidated deferred tax assets balance recorded in non-current assets was BRL 8,729,929 thousand as of December 31, 2021, arising from tax loss carryforwards, negative tax base and temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to be used to offset tax loss carryforwards, negative tax base and temporary differences, based on projections of future taxable results. Management's cash flow projections included significant judgments and assumptions relating to net average pulp and paper prices and the transfer price with the subsidiary based in Austria.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the deferred tax assets is a critical audit matter are there was the significant judgment by management when estimating the recoverable amount of deferred tax assets and the timing when tax loss carryforwards, negative tax base and temporary differences will occur. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management's cash flow projections and significant assumptions, related to the net average pulp and paper prices and the transfer price with the subsidiary based in Austria. In addition, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained regarding the estimated cash flow model that supports the projections of future taxable results.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's projections, including controls over the valuation of the recoverable amount of deferred tax assets. These procedures also included, among others, testing management's process for estimating the recoverable amount; evaluating the appropriateness of the cash flow model that supports the projections of future taxable results; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, related to the net average pulp and paper prices and the transfer price with the subsidiary based in Austria. Evaluating management's assumptions relating to net average pulp and paper prices involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering; (i) the current and past performance of the Company, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Provision for judicial liabilities relating to tax

As described in Notes 3.2.24 and 20.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's consolidated provision for judicial liabilities relating to tax was BRL 2,837,864 thousand (net of judicial deposits) as of December 31, 2021. The Company recognizes liabilities in the consolidated financial statements for the resolution of pending litigation when management determines that a loss is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. No liability for an estimated loss is accrued in the consolidated financial statements for unfavorable outcomes when, after assessing the information available, (i) management concludes that it is not probable that a loss will be incurred in any of the pending litigation; or (ii) management is unable to estimate the loss for any of the pending matters.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to provision for judicial liabilities relating to tax is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgement by management when assessing the likelihood of a loss being incurred and when determining whether a reasonable estimate of the loss for each claim can be made, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment and effort in evaluating management's assessment of the loss contingencies associated with litigation claims. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the likelihood of loss being incurred.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's evaluation of tax litigation claims, including controls over determining whether a loss is probable and whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These procedures also included, among others, obtaining and evaluating the letters of audit inquiry with internal and external legal counsel, evaluating the reasonableness of management's assessment regarding whether an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible or probable and reasonably estimable, and evaluating the sufficiency of the Company's litigation contingency disclosures. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the likelihood of loss being incurred.

Valuation of biological assets

As described in Notes 3.2.17 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's consolidated biological assets balance was BRL 12,248,732 thousand as of December 31, 2021 and are measured at fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is estimated by management using a discounted cash flow model. Management's cash flow projections included significant judgments and assumptions relating to gross average sale price of eucalyptus and the average annual growth (IMA) of biological assets.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of biological assets is a critical audit matter are (i) there was a high degree of auditor subjectivity in applying our procedures relating to the fair value measurement of the biological assets due to the significant amount of judgment required by management when developing these estimates; (ii) significant audit effort was required in assessing the significant assumptions relating to average annual growth (IMA) and gross average sale price of eucalyptus and (iii) professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained regarding the estimated discount cash flow model and discount rate.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the completeness of data and the model used to measure the fair value of the biological assets. Our procedures also included, among others, testing management's process for developing the fair value estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, related to the average annual growth (IMA) and the gross average eucalyptus sale price. Evaluating management's assumptions relating to average annual growth (IMA) and gross average eucalyptus sale price involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering; (i) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (ii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company's discounted cash flow model and the discount rate.

(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.

1.2.5. Investment remeasurement – Spinnova

On May 17, 2021, the Company increased its capital in associate Spinnova by EUR5,000 (equivalent to R$32,820 on the transaction date), changing the interest percentage from 23.44% to 27.15% and thus holding 9,808,530 shares, which generated a goodwill of R$22,553.

On June 24, 2021, the associate Spinnova concluded its IPO (“Initial Public Offering – IPO”) on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market (“NFNGM”), with the issuance of 13,140,605 shares and raising EUR100,000 (equivalent to R$587,560 on the transaction date). The Spinnova’s shares are traded under the ticker SPINN and are renamed as Spinnova Plc (“Public Limited Company”) (previously called as Spinnova Oy (Oy is the equivalent of a limited company in Finland)).

The NFNGM is Nasdaq’s nordic growth market, designed for small and growing companies, according to the guidelines of the capital market as implemented in the national legislation of Denmark, Finland and Sweden and operate by an exchange within the Nasdaq Group. Companies listed on NFNGM are subject do less extensive rules than companies listed on a regulated market, such as the Helsinki Stock Exchange.

As a result of the issuance of shares, the percentage of ownership held by Suzano in relation to the investment in Spinnova decreased from 27.15% to 19.91%.

The effects of Spinnova’s capitalization arising from the IPO, generated the dilution of interest, and consequent gain on the remeasurement of the investment in the amount of EUR19,495 (equivalent to R$115,562 on the transaction date) excluding goodwill, arising from the difference between the investment before the IPO in the amount of EUR1,541 (equivalent to R$9,134 on the transaction date) and investment after IPO in the amount of EUR21,037 (equivalent to R$124,696 on June 30, 2021), according to the new interest percentage. The gain was recorded as a debit under investments against income from associates and joint ventures, considering that investment was already recognized by the equity method, as an associate, which remained after the effect of dilution, in view of the assessment made by the Management, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 28 – Investment in associates and joint ventures, from its significant influence on the governance and management of the associate, which has not had significant changes due to the IPO process.

As part of the transaction, the Company proportionally realized the goodwill in the amount of R$24,569, being a credit recorded in the investments against the loss from associates and joint ventures and the effect of exchange rate variation on Spinnova’s investment abroad in the amount of R$746, being recorded as a debit under the heading of realization of comprehensive income, in the group of other comprehensive income, against to income from associates and joint ventures statement.

On July 1, 2021, in connection with the IPO, Spinnova issued a supplementary share option, subscribing 1,971,090 new shares and raising EUR15,078 (equivalent to R$89,375 on the transaction date) excluding goodwill, which resulted, again, in the dilution of the interest from 19.91% to 19.14%, as well as in a gain on the changing the interest percentage of the investment in the amount of EUR2,098 (equivalent to R$12,436 on the transaction date), arising from the difference between the investment before the IPO in the amount of EUR21,037 (equivalent to R$124,696 on June 30, 2021) and investment after the IPO in the amount of EUR23,133 (equivalent to R$137,132 on July 1, 2021), and proportional realization of the goodwill in the amount of R$2,601, being the effects recorded in the investments against to income from associates and joint ventures statement and the effect of exchange variation on Spinnova’s investment abroad in the amount of R$79, being recorded in the caption of realization of comprehensive income, in the group of other comprehensive income, against to income from associates and joint ventures statement.

3.2. Accounting policies adopted

3.2.1. Consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the information of Suzano and its subsidiaries in the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting practices and policies. The Company consolidates all subsidiaries over which it has direct or indirect control, that is, when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns on its investment with the subsidiary and has the capacity and ability to direct the relevant activities of the subsidiary.

Additionally, all transactions and balances between Suzano and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, as well as unrealized gains or losses arising from these transactions, net of tax effects. Non-controlling interest is highlighted.

3.2.2. Subsidiaries

These all entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity, generally through a majority voting rights. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns on its investment with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

3.2.3. Joint operations

These are all entities in which the Company maintains the contractually established control over its economic activity and exists only when the strategic, financial and operational decisions regarding the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control.

In the consolidated financial statements, the balance of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recognized proportionally to the interest in joint operation.

3.2.4. Associated and joint ventures

These are all entities are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter for the equity method, being increased or reduced from its interest in the investee's income after the acquisition date.

In the investments in associates, the Company must have significant influence, which is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, without having its control or joint control of those policies. In investments in joint ventures there is a contractually agreed sharing of control through an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

In relation to associates Ensyn and Spinnova, the equity is measured based on the latest available information and does not have a material impact in the consolidated financial statement and, if any significant event had occurred until December 31, 2021, it would be adjusted in the consolidated financial statement.

17

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

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, Spinnova Oy, Woodspin Oy and Celluforce, 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.

3.2.5.1. Transactions and balances in foreign currency

These are translated using the following criteria:

(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, has the Real as its functional currency and, therefore, is not considered an entity with a hyperinflationary currency and does not present its individual financial statements in accordance with IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. The financial statements are presented at historical cost.

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.

18

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

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.

3.2.10. Financial instruments

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

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; and

(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.

21

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

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 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.

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.

22

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

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, considering the weighted average rate, adjusted for the equalization of exchange rate effect, of the Company’s debt at the capitalization date.

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.

23

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

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. Leases

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:

· 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.

24

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

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.

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; and

(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 other reserves.

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.

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 offset by the net amount in the balance sheet whenever 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.

26

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

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. The Company does not have specific loans to obtain qualified assets. 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.

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.

A contingent liabilities of business combinations are recognized if they arise from a present obligation that arose from past events and if their fair value can be measured reliably and subsequently are measured at the higher of:

(i) the amount that would be recognized in accordance with the accounting policy for the provisions above that comply with IAS 37; or

(ii) the amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, of recognized revenue in accordance with the policy of recognizing revenue from customer contracts IFRS 15.

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.

3.2.24. Share based payments

The Company’s executives and managers receive their compensation partially as share-based payment plans to be settled in cash and shares, and alternatively in cash.

27

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

Plan-related expenses are recognized in the income statement as a corresponding entry to financial liabilities during the vesting period when services will be rendered. The financial liability is measured by its fair value every balance sheet date and its variation is recorded in the income statement as administrative expenses.

At the option exercise date, if such options are exercised by executive in order to receive Company’s shares, financial liabilities are reclassified under stock options granted in shareholders’ equity. In case of option exercise paid in cash, the Company settles the financial liability in favor to the Company’s executives.

3.2.25. Employee benefits

The Company offers benefits related to supplementary contribution plan to all employees and medical assistance and insurance life for a determined group of former employees, and for the last two benefits an actuarial appraisal is annually prepared by an independent actuary and are reviewed by Management.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other reserves when incurred. The interest incurred, resulting from changes in the present value of the actuarial liability, is recorded in income statement under the financial expenses.

3.2.26. Other assets and liabilities current and non-current

Assets are recognized only when it is probable that the economic benefit associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and its cost or value can be measured reliably.

A liability is recognized when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation arising from a past event, and it is probable that an economic resource will be required to settle this liability.

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, when applicable.

3.2.28. Dividend and interest on own capital

The distribution of dividends or interest on shareholders' equity is recognized as a liability, calculated based on Corporate Law, the bylaws and the Company's Dividend Policy, which establishes that the minimum annual dividend is the lowest amount between (i) 25% of adjusted net income or (ii) the consolidated operating cash flow for the year and, provided they are declared before the end of the year. Any portion in excess of the minimum mandatory dividends, if declared after the balance sheet date, must be recorded under the additional dividends proposed in shareholders' equity, until approved by the shareholders at the General Assembly. After approval, reclassification to current liabilities is made.

The tax benefit of interest on equity is recognized in the income statement.

28

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

3.2.29. Share capital

Common shares are classified under shareholders’ equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to a public offer are stated under shareholders’ equity as a deduction from the amount raised, net of taxes.

3.2.30. Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers are recognized as at which the products to customers transfer of control, represented by the ability to determine the use of products and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the products.

The Company follows the 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.

Revenues 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 provision for reimbursement (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.

3.2.31. Financial income and expenses

Include interest income on financial assets, at the effective interest rate that includes the amortization of funding raising costs, gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, interest on loans and financing, exchange variations on loans and financing and other assets and financial liabilities and monetary variations on other assets and liabilities. Interest income and expenses are recognized in the income statement using the effective interest method.

3.2.32. Earnings (losses) per share

Basic earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the Company by (losses) the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the year.

Diluted earnings (losses) 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. Provisions for participation are recognized in the administrative expense, during the period in which the targets are attained.

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);

· annual analysis recoverable amount of goodwill (Note 16);

· provision for legal liabilities (Note 20); and

· pension and post-employment plans (Note 21);

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 adopted

The new and changed standards and interpretations issued, but not yet adopted until December 31, 2021, 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.

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

3.3.1. Business Combination IFRS 3 - Reference to the conceptual framework (Applicable 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.

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.

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. IFRS 1 – First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment provides additional relief to a subsidiary which becomes a first-time adopter later than its parent in respect of accounting for cumulative translation differences. As a result of the amendment, a subsidiary that uses the exemption in IFRS 1:D16(a) can now also elect to measure cumulative translation differences for all foreign operations at the carrying amount that would be included in the parent’s consolidated financial statements, based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS Standards, if no adjustments were made for consolidation procedures and for the effects of the business combination in which the parent acquired the subsidiary. A similar election is available to an associate or joint venture that uses the exemption in IFRS 1:D16(a).

3.3.5. IFRS 9 – Financial instruments (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment clarifies that in applying the ‘10 per cent’ test to assess whether to derecognise a financial liability, an entity includes only fees paid or received between the entity (the borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the entity or the lender on the other’s behalf.

The amendment is applied prospectively to modifications and exchanges that occur on or after the date the entity first applies the amendment.

3.3.6. IFRS 16 – Leases (no effective date is stated)

The amendment removes the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements.

As the amendment to IFRS 16 only regards an illustrative example, no effective date is stated.

3.3.7. IAS 41 – Agriculture (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment removes the requirement in IAS 41 for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value. This aligns the fair value measurement in IAS 41 with the requirements of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement to use internally consistent cash flows and discount rates and enables preparers to determine whether to use pretax or post-tax cash flows and discount rates for the most appropriate fair value measurement.

The amendment is applied prospectively, i.e. for fair value measurements on or after the date an entity initially applies the amendment.

3.3.8. Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture. (The effective date of the amendments has yet to be set by IASB; however, earlier application to the amendments is permitted.)

The amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 deal with situations where there is a sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. Specifically, the amendments state that gains or losses resulting from the loss of control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business in a transaction with an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method, are recognised in the parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in that associate or joint venture. Similarly, gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of investments retained in any former subsidiary (that has become an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method) to fair value are recognised in the former parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the new associate or joint venture.

3.3.9. 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.

3.3.10. Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements – Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023, early adoption permitted)

The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. The amendments replace all instances of the term ‘significant accounting policies’ with ‘material accounting policy information’. Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

The supporting paragraphs in IAS 1 are also amended to clarify that accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.

3.3.11. Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023)

The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. The definition of a change in accounting estimates was deleted. However, the Board retained the concept of changes in accounting estimates in the Standard with the following clarifications:

(i) A change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error; and

(ii) The effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors

3.3.12. Amendments to IAS 12 – Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023)

The amendments introduce a further exception from the initial recognition exemption. Under the amendments, an entity does not apply the initial recognition exemption for transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.

Depending on the applicable tax law, equal taxable and deductible temporary differences may arise on initial recognition of an asset and liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. For example, this may arise upon recognition of a lease liability and the corresponding right-of-use asset applying IFRS 16 at the commencement date of a lease.

Following the amendments to IAS 12, an entity is required to recognise the related deferred tax asset and liability, with the recognition of any deferred tax asset being subject to the recoverability criteria in IAS 12.

The amendments apply to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period an entity recognises:

(i) A deferred tax asset (to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised) and a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with:

· Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; and

· Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities and the corresponding amounts recognised as part of the cost of the related asset

(ii) The cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS MANAGEMENT

4.1. Financial risks management

4.1.1. Overview

As a result of its activities, the Company is exposed to various financial risks, which are managed in accordance with the Financial Risk Management, Counterparty and Issuer Risk, Debt, Derivative and Cash Management Policies (“Financial Policies”), which were approved at the Board of Directors' meeting held on August 13, 2020 and are available on the Company's website.

The main factors considered by Management are:

(i) liquidity;

(ii) credit;

(iii) exchange rate;

(iv) interest rate;

(v) fluctuations of commodity prices; and

(vi) capital.

The Management is focused on generating consistent and sustainable results over time, however, arising from external risk factors, unintended level of volatility can influence the Company’s cash flows and income statement.

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.

35

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

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.

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

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 result of the trading of financial instruments is recognized at the closing or hiring dates, where the Company undertakes to buy or sell these instruments. The obligations arising from the hiring of financial instruments are eliminated from our financial statements only when these instruments expire or when the risks, obligations and rights arising there from are transferred.

4.2. Liquidity risk management

The Company’s purpose is maintaining a strong cash and marketable securities position to meet its financial and operating obligations. The amount held as cash is used for payments expected in the normal course of its operations, while the cash surplus amount is invested in highly liquid financial investments according to Cash Management Policy.

The cash position is monitored by the Company’s Management, by means of management reports and participation in performance meetings with determined frequency. In the year ended December 31, 2021, the impacts in cash and marketable securities were as expected and the cash generated in the operation was used for the most part to debt redemption, including payments made in advance to strengthen the Company's liquidity.

The Company, through its subsidiary Suzano Pulp and Paper Europe SA, in order to improve the management of financial liquidity, has contracted, since February 2019, a Revolving Credit Facility, in the amount equivalent to US$500,000, maturing in February 2024 , with a union composed of 5 banks. The transaction was structured so that the Company and its subsidiary can use the credit facility at any time, throughout the contracted period, which will expire on February 20, 2024. On December 31, 2021, the facility was available, but not used.

4.3.1. Trade accounts receivable and advances to supplier

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. Each analyze is submitted for approval according to established hierarchy and, if applicable, to approval from the Management’s meeting and the Credit Committee.

The risk classification of trade accounts receivable is set forth below:

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.

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

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 enter into 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 enter into 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. The Company's Board of Directors approved on October the contracting of extraordinary hedge, in addition to the policy mentioned above, for investments in the Cerrado Project with a term of up to 36 months as of November 2021, in the amount of up to US$1,000,000.

The assets and liabilities that are exposed to foreign currency, substantially in U.S. Dollars, are set forth below:

	December 31, 2021			December 31, 2020

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$5.5805).

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. Dollar at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes.

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

The Company hires 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 or to investments in the Cerrado Project according to the extraordinary hedge described above and, therefore, are attached to the availability of ready-to-sell foreign exchange in the short term.

Due to pandemic of COVID-19 and the effects on all global economies over the past few quarters, 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 2020 it was R$5.1967 and in December  2021 it was R$5.5805, with an increase of 7.39%. These market movements caused a positive impact on the mark-to-market hedge position entered by the Company.

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. Dollar at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes, from the base scenario of December 31, 2021.

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, this impact was partially offset by the positive effect on the Company's cash flow and, if the exchange rate remains stable, it will be offset by the appreciation of the hedge object in the coming years. 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.

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 hired.

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”). Considering that on March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced the date of extinction of LIBOR 3M for June 30, 2023, the Company can, from this announcement, began negotiations terms of exchange of indexes for its debt contracts and related derivatives.

The Company mapped all contracts subject to LIBOR reform that have yet to transition to an alternative benchmark rate on December 31, 2021 the Company has R$18,735,587 related to loan and financing contracts and R$1,156,180 related to derivative contracts and, initiated contact with the respective counterparties of each contract, to ensure that the terms and good market practices are adopted at the time of the transition of the index until June 2023, and these terms are still under negotiation between the parties.

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, will move towards to the replacement of LIBOR by SOFR, because the available information, so far, 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, 2021

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, 2021. 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.

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

	December 31, 2021
	Effect on profit or loss and equity
	Probable (base value)			Possible (25%)			Remote (50%)
		2.84	%		3.55	%		4.25	%
Embedded derivative in forestry partnership and standing wood supply agreements		28,165			203,262			418,180

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 hardwood 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. Hardwood pulp price protection operations available on the market have low liquidity and low volume and large distortion in price formation.

The Company is also exposed to international oil prices, which is reflected on logistical costs for selling to the export market and indirectly in the costs of other supplies and logistics and service contracts. In this case, the Company evaluates the contracting of derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk of price variation in its result.

On December 31, 2021, the Company did not hire position to hedge its logistics costs (US$37,757 as of December 31, 2020).

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 and by counterparties.

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.

46

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

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.

(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 (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 variation in the fair value of derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the fair value measured on December 31, 2020 is explained substantially by devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar and by the settlements for the year. 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 for the year ended December 31, 2021, are over-the-counter market, without any kind of guaranteed margin or early settlement clause forced by changes from mark to market, including possible variations caused by the pandemic of COVID-19.

4.6. Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments are measured at fair value, which considers the fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Depending on the inputs used for measurement, the financial instruments at fair value may be classified into 3 hierarchy levels:

(i) Level 1 – Based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A market is considered active if it trades frequently and sufficient volume to provide pricing information immediately and continuously, usually obtained from a commodity and stock exchange, pricing service or regulatory agency, and the prices represent actual market transactions, which occur regularly on a commercial basis;

(ii) Level 2 - Based on prices quoted in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets, evaluation models for which inputs are observable , such as rates of interest and yield curves, credit volatilities and spreads, and market corroborated information. Assets and liabilities classified in this category are measured through discounted cash flow and interest accrual, respectively, for derivative financial instruments and marketable securities. The observable inputs are interest rates and curves, volatility factors and foreign exchange rates; and

(iii) Level 3 – Based on unquoteddata for assets and liabilities, where the Company applies the income approach technique using the discounted cash flow model. The observable inputs used are IMA, discount rate and eucalyptus average gross sales prices.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no changes between the 3 (three) levels of hierarchy and no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3.

4.7. Risks linked to climate change and the sustainability strategy

In view of the nature of the Company's operations, there is inherent exposure to risks related to climate change.

The Company's assets, notably biological assets, which are measured at fair value (Note 13), property, plant and equipment (Note 15) and intangible assets (Note 16), may be impacted by climate changes, which were evaluated in the context of preparation of financial statements. In the year ended December 31, 2021, Management considered the main risk data and assumptions highlighted below:

(i) possible impacts on the determination of fair value in biological assets due to: Effects of climate change, such as temperature rise, scarcity of water resources, may impact some assumptions used in accounting estimates related to the Company's biological assets, as follows:

· losses of biological assets due to fires and impacts arising from the greater presence and resistance of pests and other forest diseases favored by the gradual increase in temperature;

· reduction in productivity and expected growth (IMA) due to reduced availability of water resources in basins; and

· interruption in the production chain due to adverse weather events.

52

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

(ii) scarcity of water resources in the industry: although our units are efficient in the use of water, there are contingency plans for all units affected by possible water shortages and action plans to confront the water crisis in critical regions.

(iii) structural changes in society and their impacts on business, such as:

· regulatory and legal: arising from Brazilian and/or international regulatory changes that encourage the transition to a low-carbon economy and/or with greater biodiversity and that increase the risk of litigation and/or commercial restrictions related to the alleged contribution, even if indirect, for the intensification of climate change;

· technological: arising from the emergence of improvements and innovations towards an economy with greater energy efficiency and low carbon;

· market: arising from changes in the supply and demand of certain products and services as climate-related issues begin to be considered in decision-making; and

· reputational: related to changing perceptions of customers and society in general regarding the positive or negative contribution of an organization to a low carbon economy.

4.7.1. Compliance with contractual clauses related to sustainability in sustainable debt securities (Sustainability linked bonds - “SLB” e Sustainability Linked Loan – “SLL”)

As disclosed in Note 18, the Company issued debt securities with metrics of environmental, social and corporate governance - ESG related to the intensity of our emissions, intensity of capture of water resources and aspects of diversity and inclusion. The non-compliance of these targets may generate a future increase in the cost of said debts, as provided for in the respective contracts.

4.7.2. Climate risk management

The Company has a structure dedicated to corporate risk management, including risks related to climate change, with its own methodologies, tools and processes aimed at ensuring the identification, assessment and treatment of its main risks. This structure, through its management system, allows the continuous monitoring of risks and their eventual impacts, the control of the variables involved and the definition and implementation of mitigating measures, which aim to reduce the exposures identified. The Company's assessment of the potential impacts of climate change and the transition to a low carbon economy is carried out on an ongoing basis and will continue to evolve and, when applicable, its impacts will be considered and evaluated by its management.

4.8. Capital management

The main objective is to strengthen the Company’s capital structure, aiming to maintain an adequate financial leverage, and to mitigate risks that may affect the availability of capital in business development.

53

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

The forestry development program consists of an incentive partnership for regional forest production, where independent producers plant eucalyptus in their own land to supply the agricultural product wood to Company. Suzano provides eucalyptus seedlings, input subsidies and cash advances, and the latter are not subject to valuation at present value since they will be settled, preferably, in forests. In addition, the Company supports producers through technical advice on forest management but does not have joint control over decisions effectively implemented. At the end of the production cycles, the Company has contractually guaranteed the right to make an offer to purchase the forest and/or wood for market value, however, this right does not prevent producers from negotiating the forest and / or wood with other market participants, provided that the incentive amounts are fully paid.

12. INCOME AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TAXES

12.1. Deferred taxes

The Company calculates income tax and social contribution taxes, current and deferred, based on the rates of 15% plus an additional 10% on taxable income in excess of R$240 for IRPJ and 9% for CSLL, on the net income. Balances are recognized in the Company's income on the accrual basis.

Associates located in Brazil have their taxes calculated and provisioned in accordance with current legislation and their specific tax regime, including, in some cases, presumed profit method. The associates located abroad are taxed in their respective jurisdictions, according to local regulations.

Deferred income and social contribution taxes are recognized at the net amounts in non-current assets or liabilities.

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 associate, 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 associate 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 year ended December 31, 2021. There is no provision for tax related to the profit of such associate in 2021.

As the accounting recognition only occurred at the Closing of the transaction, on January 5, 2021 (Note 1.2.2) with the fulfillment of the performance obligation and delivery of the ownership of the properties to the client, there was a need to establish the deferred tax asset on this difference temporary, in the amount of R$175,202.

Effective rate of income and social contribution tax expenses		2.24	%		39.27	%		31.30	%

1) The effect of the difference in taxation of associates is substantially due to the difference between the nominal rates of Brazil and associates 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, 2021 the Company did not meet all limits and requirements therefore the expense is not deductible for the period.

3) Income tax and social contribution deduction on profit or loss referring to the use of the (i) expenses with research and development (ii) PAT benefit ("Worker Food Program"), (iii) donations made in cultural projects, audiovisual, (iv) child and adolescent rights funds, and (v)  extension of maternity and paternity leave.

12.3. Tax incentives

Company has a tax incentive for the partial reduction of the income tax obtained by the operations carried out in areas of the Northeast Development Superintendence (“SUDENE”) in the Mucuri (BA), Eunápolis – Veracel (BA), Imperatriz (MA) and Aracruz – Portocel (ES) regions and in areas of the Superintendence of the Amazon Development (“SUDAM”) in the Belém (PA) regions. The IRPJ reduction incentive is calculated based on the activity profit (exploitation profit) and considers the allocation of the operating profit by the incentive production levels for each product. The incentive of lines 1 and 2 of Mucuri (BA) facility expire, respectively, in 2024 and 2027, Imperatriz facility, expire in 2024, Eunápolis – Veracel (BA) and Belém (PA) facility, expire in 2025 and Aracruz – Portocel (ES), expire in 2030.

13. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

The rollforward of biological assets is set forth below:

Balances on December 31, 2019	10,571,499
Addition	3,392,975
Depletion	(3,094,742	)
Transfers	(23,471	)
Gain on fair value adjustment	466,484
Disposal	(93,847	)
Other write-offs	(57,688	)
Balances on December 31, 2020	11,161,210
Addition	3,807,608
Depletion	(3,189,726	)
Transfers	23,471
Gain on fair value adjustment	763,091
Disposal	(211,433	)
Other write-offs	(105,489	)
Balances on December 31, 2021	12,248,732

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 such as 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).

1) Refer to other intangible assets with indefinite useful life such as servitude of passage and electricity.

The goodwill is based on expected future profitability supported by valuation reports, after purchase price allocation.

Goodwill are allocated to cash-generating units as presented in Note 29.4.

The calculation of the value in use of non-financial assets is done annually using the discounted cash flow method. In 2021, the Company used the strategic plan and annual budget with growing projections until 2026 and the average perpetuity of the cash generating unit considering a nominal rate of 3.14% p.a. from this date, based on historical information of previous years, economic and financial projections from each specific market that the Company has operations, impacts of potential climate changes, and additionally include official information disclosed by independent institutions and government agencies.

The discount rate, after taxes, adopted by the Management was 8.50% p.a., calculated based on weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The assumptions in the table set forth below were also adopted:

	2022		2023		2024		2025		2026
Net average pulp price – Foreign market (US$/t)
Asia		514.9		595.7		607.2		546.2		550.0

Latin America		609.5		582.7		638.3		571.4		587.3
Net average pulp price – Internal market (US$/t)		536.7		504.3		552.4		494.6		508.3
Average exchange rate (R$/U.S.$)		5.24		5.10		5.08		5.43		5.19
Discount rate (post-tax)		8.50% p.a.		8.50% p.a.		8.50% p.a.		8.50% p.a.		8.50% p.a.
Discount rate (pre-tax)		11.90% p.a.		11.90% p.a.		11.90% p.a.		11.90% p.a.		11.90% p.a.

Based on Management's analyzes carried out in 2021, the recoverable amount is higher than the book value and, consequently, no impairment loss was identified.

20.2.1. Tax and social securities

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has 766 (seven hundred sixty-six) (782 (seven hundred eighty-two) as of December 31, 2020) tax proceedings whose likelihood of loss is considered possible, in the total amount of R$7,539,938 (R$7,145,147 as of December 31, 2020) for which there is no provision was recorded.

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. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$2,351,673 (R$2,296,032 as of December 31, 2020).

(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, 2021 the amount is R$728,567 (R$712,531 as of December 31, 2020).

(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, 2021 the amount is R$106,811 (R$104,873 as of December 31, 2020).

(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.

The contingency is being discussed in the judicial sphere, where the final judgment of the Embargoes Execution presented by the Company is awaited. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$129,701 (R$127,391 as of December 31, 2020).

(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, 2021 is R$169,784 (R$166,355 as of December 31, 2020).

(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, 2021 the amount is R$111,437 (R$109,903 as of December 31, 2020).

(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, resulting from the remeasurement of profit of its 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 Company, based on the legal advisors, considered the risk of loss as possible in regard to the Company and, in reference to the Officers, also possible but with more chances of winning (possible to remote). In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$470,119 (R$454,898 as of December 31, 2020).

(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 Company has a general civil liability insurance policy that aims to cover, within the limits contracted in the policy, any legal convictions, by way of damages caused to third parties (including employees).

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.

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

In 2021, both were suspended due to the decision of the STJ to evaluate the points of discussion in the form of a repetitive appeal. Still no date for judgment.

Furthermore, the Company also sued a competitor from the midwest region due to the improper and unauthorized use of a variety of eucalyptus protected by intellectual property rights (cultivar) of the merged subsidiary Fibria. The prohibition of cultivation of this biological asset by the competitor is protected by an injunction still in force. While the sentence is pending, the competitor filed an action to annul the cultivar registration, but the course of the first action was not harmed. The judgment of the case is awaited.

In November 2020, a maritime logistics provider initiated an arbitration proceeding against the Company following the early termination of the contract. The counterparty pleads the execution of a put option clause (imposing the ownership and acquisition of barges) supposedly provided for in the contract as a penalty for early termination, as well as the payment of alleged losses and damages suffered as a result of the termination. Suzano, in turn, claims that the put option is not due and, even if it were due, the put option clause is abusive in the economic relationship of the contract. The case is still in the process of submitting the formal statements of each party to the Arbitral Tribunal.

The Company is still defendant in 2 (“two”) ACPs, filed in 2015 by the Federal Public Ministry (“MPF”) and the National Institute for Colonization and Agricultural Reform (“INCRA”) against the merged subsidiary Fibria, from the State Espírito Santo and BNDES, aiming at the nullity of some property titles granted by the State to the Company in the municipalities of Conceição da Barra and São Mateus. The decisions, issued by the judge of 1st instance of the Federal Justice, declare the nullity of these titles and determine the return of these properties to the property of the State. The decisions rendered are not final and the Company has filed appropriate appeals for the reversal of this decision in the 2nd instance. It is important to highlight that the properties whose titles are discussed in the ACPs add up to a total of approximately 10,500 hectares, and of this total, according to Suzano's best information, only approximately 4,000 hectares are included in demarcation procedures initiated by INCRA in favor of quilombola communities in region. None of these demarcation procedures is finalized. Suzano is the legitimate owner of the properties under discussion and will continue to discuss the matter in court, in order to prove in court the legality of the acquisitions made at the time of acquisition.

Among the environmental lawsuits, 1 (“one”) ACPs filed by the MPF in the northeast region of Brazil stand out, challenging the jurisdiction of the state environmental agency to grant environmental licenses. The MPF alleges that the environmental licensing procedures related to our industrial plant in the state of Maranhão must be carried out by the Federal Environment Agency (“IBAMA”). The risks involved are delays in our planting schedule and the suspension of activities at the Maranhão industrial unit until a new license is issued. We believe that there are good chances of defense in this case, since IBAMA does not recognize that it has competence to execute the licensing process and there is no clear legal basis to support such jurisdiction.

In addition, we are involved in 1 (“one”) ACP filed by the MPF in the state of the negative impacts of our operation in the Baixo Parnaíba Region. The MPF claims that the occupation of these areas caused socio-environmental impacts in eastern Maranhão. Currently, the action is in the preparatory phase, with the beginning of the expert procedures. We believe in remote chances of loss in this case, since the report used to support the requests was made unilaterally and will be questioned during the expert investigation.

It should be noted that 2 (“two”) litigations that appeared in previous financial statements were closed, which are: i) ACP related to the environmental impacts allegedly caused in the city of Cubatão/SP, in which an agreement was reached with the Public Ministry of State of São Paulo (“MPSP”), pending ratification by the São Paulo Court of Justice and ii) ACP related to the licensing of eucalyptus plantations in the Urbano Santos/MA region, in which an agreement was signed by the competent federal court .

20.3. Contingent assets

20.3.1. Assets arising from the exclusion of VAT (ICMS) from PIS and COFINS tax basis

In judgment held on May 13, 2021, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) examined the amendment of judgment filed by the Federal Government, set out the understanding regarding the exclusion of VAT (ICMS) from PIS and COFINS tax basis in the Extraordinary Appeal proceeding nº 574,706, stating that:

(i) The effects of exclusion of VAT (ICMS) from PIS and COFINS tax basis must take place after March 15, 2017, except for lawsuits and administrative requirements filled by March 15, 2017, and

(ii) The VAT (ICMS) to be excluded from tax basis from PIS and COFINS is what is highlighted in the invoices.

With the edition of Opinion Nº. 7698/2021, the National Treasury Attorney's Office ("PGFN"), confirming the understanding of the STF, established that:

(i) Regarding to income earned from March 16, 2017, VAT (ICMS) value highlighted in the corresponding sales invoices must not be included on tax basis of PIS and COFINS, regardless of whether legal entity has filed a lawsuit or not; and

(ii) Regarding to income earned up to March 15, 2017, VAT (ICMS) value highlighted in the corresponding sales invoices must not be included on tax basis of PIS and COFINS, only if the legal entity has filed a lawsuit by March 15, 2017.

Over the years, the Company and its associates have filled lawsuits to recognize their rights to exclude ICMS (VAT) from the PIS and COFINS tax basis, including periods since March 1992. The lawsuits filed by the Company and its associates are in different procedural phases, with some final decision and other pending final position by the Courts. Notwithstanding, the fact that the lawsuits are in different procedural phases, the Company believes, supported by its legal counsel, that due to the final decision by the STF on the matter, the economic benefits arising from the lawsuits are practically certain and, therefore, they are no longer contingent assets, and the credits must be recorded.

Thus, in the year ended December 31, 2021, the total PIS and COFINS tax credits to be recovered recognized by the Company, following exactly the terms decided by the STF regarding the exclusion of ICMS (VAT) from the PIS and COFINS tax basis, is R$582,433, of which were recognized, R$128,115 in September 2019 and R$454,318 until December 2021. Recognition is based on the best estimate and tax documents currently available, and this amount may be subject to adjustments arising from obtaining tax documents for older periods and/or other adjustments, to the estimate that may arise in the final confirmation of the effective values of the credit.

20.3.2. SELIC update on undue tax

In September 2021, the STF held, by a majority of votes, that the Federal Government cannot charge IRPJ and CSLL on amounts referring to the SELIC rate received due to the repetition of undue tax. Nevertheless, the aforementioned judgment has not been definitively concluded with the respective final and unappealable decision, the Company, together with its advisors, understands that, in principle, there is no possibility of reversing the understanding on the merits. In this way, the Company carried out a survey of the credits referring to IRPJ and CSLL to be recovered, and in view of the immateriality of the amounts until this moment, it understands the continuity of the survey with external advisors for the proper bookkeeping of the assets in a timely manner.

21. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company offers supplementary pension plan and defined benefit plan, such as medical assistance and life insurance, as set forth below:

21.1. Pension plan

21.1.1. Pension plan – Suzano Prev

In 2005, the Company established the Suzano Prev pension plan managed by BrasilPrev, an open private pension entity, which serves employees of Suzano Group Companies, in the defined contribution plan.

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.

Access to the balance formed by the Company's contributions only occurs upon dismissal and is directly related to the length of employment relationship.

Contributions made by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled R$13,993 recognized in under employee benefits (R$9,388 as of December 31, 2020, includes balance from Fundação Senador José Ermírio de Moraes – Funsejem, terminated in July 2020).

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.

85

Suzano S.A.   Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020    

Throughout 2020, the Company granted the SAR and PLUS (Share Appreciation Rights) (“SAR”) plans of phantom stock options. In this plan,

In the PS plan, the beneficiary does not make any investment and in the SAR 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.

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:

	December 31, 2021			December 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
	Number of shares
Beginning balance		5,772,356			5,996,437			5,045,357

⁽¹⁾ Amounts expressed in Reais.

22.2 Restricted shares plan

The Company also offers a Restricted Shares plan based on the Company's performance (Program Restricted Shares). The plan associates the quantity of restricted shares granted to the Company's performance, which in 2021 was in relation to the operating cash generation target and ESG. 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, 2021 of SUZB3 at B3.

After measurement of the target, that occurs 12 months after the execution of the contract, the restricted shares will be granted immediately (conditioned to the achievement of the established goals), 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 the execution of the contract	Grant date	Price on grant date	Shares Granted		Restricted year for transfer of shares
2018	01/02/2018	01/02/2019	R$39.10		130,435		01/02/2022
2020	01/02/2020	01/02/2021	R$51.70		106,601		01/02/2024
2021	01/02/2021	01/02/2022	R$53.81		90,005		01/02/2025

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 restricted stock plan considers 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; and

(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 Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Executive Officers evaluate the performance of the Company’s business segments through the EBITDA. The Company revised the prior year segment note to present EBITDA as its performance measure. The information disclosed under “Not Segmented” is related to statement of income items not directly attributed to the pulp and paper segments.

The operating segments defined by the Company’s 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 management, 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 our property, plant and equipment, biological and intangible assets are in Brazil.
