For convenience purposes only, amounts in reais for the six months ended June 30, 2018 have been translated into U.S. dollars using a rate of R$ 3.856 to US$ 1.00, the commercial selling rate for U.S. dollars as of June 30, 2018, as reported by the Central Bank of Brazil. These translations should not be considered representations that any such amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or at any other exchange rate. As of August 10, 2018, the exchange rate for reais into U.S. dollars was R$ 3.847 per US$ 1.00, based on the selling rate as reported by the Central Bank of Brazil. See “Exchange Rates” for further information about recent fluctuations in exchange rates.

Net sales revenue

Net sales revenue increased 28.0%, or R$ 1,359.0 million, from R$ 4,849.7 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2017 to R$ 6,208.7 million in the corresponding period in 2018, mainly due to higher hardwood pulp list prices in USD (average FOEX in Europe in the six month period ended June 30, 2018 of U.S.$ 1,027, compared to U.S.$ 732 in the six month period ended June 30, 2017), a weaker real currency and by the higher price of paper sold in both the export and local markets.

Net sales revenue from pulp increased 33.0%, or R$ 1,050.0 million, from R$ 3,181.8 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 to R$ 4,231.8 million in the corresponding period in 2018, due to an increase in pulp prices. Net sales revenue from pulp represented 65.6% of total net sales revenue in the six month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to 68.2% in the corresponding period in 2018.


Net sales revenue from pulp exports increased 35.1%, or R$ 1,012.9 million in 2018, from R$ 2,888.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 to R$ 3,900.9 million in the corresponding period in 2018. Pulp exports represented 62.8% of net revenues in the six month period ended in 2018 (47.4% from Asia, 35.9% from Europe, 16.2% from North America and 0.5% from South and Central America).

Our average international net sales price of pulp in 2018 increased 35%, or U.S.$ 193/ton, from U.S.$ 551/ton in the six month period ended June 30, 2017 to U.S.$ 744/ton in the corresponding period in 2018. In the domestic market, the average net pulp sales price increased 54%, or R$ 787/ton, from R$ 1,469/ton in the six month period ended in June 30, 2017 to R$ 2,256/ton in the corresponding period in 2018.

Net sales revenue from paper increased 18.5%, or R$ 309.0 million, from R$ 1,667.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 to R$ 1,976.9 million in the corresponding period in 2018. Net sales revenue from paper represented 34.4% of total net sales in the six month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to 31.8% in the corresponding period in 2018. The increase in net sales revenue from paper in the six month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to the corresponding period in 2017 is largely due to a combination of higher sales volume and price increase. Net revenue from paper exports represented 9.7% of our net sales revenues in the six month period ended June 30, 2018 (57.7% from South and Central America, 18.9% from Europe, 12.7% from North America and 10.6% from Asia and Africa). Net sales revenue from paper in the domestic market increased 16.4%, or R$ 193.5 million, from R$ 1,180.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 to R$ 1,373.4 million in the corresponding period in 2018, impacted mainly by price increase.

The average international net paper sales price in 2018 increased 9.7%, or U.S.$ 85/ton, from U.S.$ 872/ton in the six month period ended June 30, 2017 to U.S.$ 957/ton in the corresponding period in 2018. In the domestic market, the average net paper sales price increased 12.4%, or R$ 393/ton, from R$ 3,173/ton in the six month period ended in June 30, 2017 to R$ 3,566/ton in the corresponding period in 2018.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales increased 4.6%, from R$ 3,125.3 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2017 to R$ 3,268.5 million in the corresponding period in 2018, primarily (i) as a result of an increase in other costs, such as a higher cost with maintenance stops on the first half of 2018, and (ii) an increase of the prices of our industrial supplies and of wood. The unit of cost of goods sold increased 11.5%, from R$ 1,304/ton in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 to R$ 1,454/ton in the corresponding period in 2018 in line with period inflation of 4.4%.

Gross profit increased 70.5%, or R$ 1,215.8 million, from R$ 1,724.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 to R$ 2,940.2 million in the corresponding period in 2018, due to the factors mentioned above. Our gross margin for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 was 47.4% compared to 35.6% in the corresponding period in 2017. This increase is mainly due to higher list prices for hardwood pulp and a weaker real currency.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling expenses increased 32.6%, or R$ 66.9 million, from R$ 205.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 to R$ 272.3 million in the corresponding period in 2018. The main variation is due to an increase of R$ 39.0 million in the consumer goods business, and higher logistics expenditures due to an increase of the distribution freight rate.

General and administrative expenses increased 51.1%, or R$ 118.7 million, from R$ 232.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 to R$ 351.0 million in 2018. The variation is due to higher expenses with personnel expenses and compensation plans based on net income, and an increase of R$ 13.0 million in the consumer goods business.


total net sales in the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to 37.6% in the corresponding period in 2016. The increase in net revenue from paper in the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding period in 2015 is largely due to the increase in the price of paper and the higher sales volume. Our average domestic and international net sales price of paper in the year ended December 31, 2016 was R$ 3,128/ton, 6.3% higher than in the corresponding period in 2015 of R$ 2,944/ton.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales increased 6.8%, from R$ 6,147.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 to R$ 6,563.1 million in the corresponding period in 2016, primarily as a result of the increase in the volume of pulp sales, the effect of exchange rate variation on raw materials linked to the U.S. dollar and lower energy sales. The main variation is related to other costs of R$ 313.2 million, due to (i) an increase in the purchase of third party inputs for fluff manufacturing, at the time a new product within our pulp segment; and (ii) a reduction of the nominal rate in 2016 of the Regime Especial de Reintegração de Valores Tributários para as Empresas Exportadoras – Reintegra benefit (a special tax credit benefit for exporting companies allowing for tax credit relating to a percentage of revenues originated from exports) impacting cost of our goods sold.

Gross profit

Gross profit decreased 18.4%, or R$ 738.6 million, from R$ 4,014.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 to R$ 3,276.1 million in the corresponding period in 2016, due to the factors mentioned above. Our gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 33.3% compared to 39.5% in the corresponding period in 2015. This reduction is mainly due to the significant decline in the gross margin of the pulp segment (44.9% in 2015 to 33.6% in 2016), affected by the 14% drop in the average exchange rate in 2016, when compared to 2015, since most sales in the pulp segment are made to the foreign market. In addition, there was a negative variation in the average unit cost affected by general stoppages, leading to a loss in cost efficiency. For the paper segment (29.7% in 2015 to 32.9% in 2016), we improved our profitability through a policy of price increases in 2016 in the domestic market, where the largest sales for the paper segment are concentrated.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling expenses increased 1.5%, or R$ 6.3 million, from R$ 410.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 to R$ 416.3 million in 2016. The main variation is due to an increase in personnel expenses in the amount of R$ 14.3 million and R$ 14.8 million of other expenses, partially offset by decrease in logistics costs in the amount of R$ 10.9 million and R$ 11.9 million services expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased 6.3%, or R$ 28.5 million, from R$ 455.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 to R$ 427.1 million in 2016. The variation is due to the decrease in personnel expenses in the amount of R$ 40.1 million partially offset by an increase of other expenses in the amount of R$ 13.3 million.

Other operating income (expenses), net

Other operating income (expenses), net was R$ 1,150.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to a net loss of R$ 104.5 million in 2015. For 2016, the amount mainly related to a R$ 780.7 million adjustment to fair value of biological assets, a provision of R$ 276.9 million for impairment of lands and forests in the State of Piauí and a partial loss of R$ 78.8 million of intangible assets.

Operating profit before net financial income (expenses)

Operating profit before net financial income (expenses) decreased 58.1%, or R$ 1,769.6 million, from R$ 3,044.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 to R$ 1,275.0 million in the corresponding period in

Item 22.

Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (a)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (1)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

  (2)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

  (3)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

  (b)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

 

  (c)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

 

  (d)

To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 need not be furnished provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 or Item 8.A. of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement;

 

  (e)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

  (f)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof ;

 

  (g)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (1)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of the registration (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

II-2


  (2)

any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  (3)

the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

  (4)

any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

  (h)

That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.

 

  (i)

That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (h)(1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (j)

To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means, and (ii) to arrange or provide for a facility in the United States for the purpose of responding to such requests. The undertaking in this paragraph includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

 

  (k)

To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

 

  (l)

That insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
