1.2. Major events in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023

1.2.1. Effects of the war between Russia and Ukraine, and Middle East conflict

The Company has continuously monitored the impacts of the current war between Russia and Ukraine, and Middle East conflict, both direct and indirect, on society, the economy and markets (global and domestic), with the objective of evaluating possible impacts and risks for the business.

The Company's assessment has covered five main areas:

(i) Personnel: Suzano has local employees and facilities in the city of Rehovot in Israel, through its subsidiary, FuturaGene Israel Ltd. The Company continuously monitors the situation.

In the context of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Suzano does not have employees or facilities of any kind in locations related to the conflict.

(ii) Supply Chain: the Company did not identify any short-term or long-term risk of possible interruptions or shortages of materials for its industrial and forestry activities. So far, the only effects observed have been greater volatility in commodities and energy prices.

(iii) Logistics: internationally, there was no change in the Company’s logistical operations, with all the routes used remaining unchanged and the moorings in the planned locations being maintained. At the domestic level, no changes in logistical flows were identified.

(iv) Commercial: to date, the Company has continued with its transactions as planned, maintaining service to its customers in all its sectors of activity. Sales to a few customers located in Russia were suspended, without any significant financial impact.

(v) Continuity of operations: The conflict in Israel may result in disruptions to biotechnology research and development operations at FuturaGene Israel Ltd.

As a result of the current scenario, the Company has taken steps to expand its monitoring of the situation, together with its main stakeholders, in order to ensure any updates and information flows required for its global decision-making are available in a timely manner.

1.2.2. Cerrado Project

On October 28, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the realization of the Cerrado Project, which consists of building a pulp production mill in the municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.

The plant will have an estimated nominal capacity of 2,550,000 tons of eucalyptus pulp production per year, with an estimated period for starting operations in the first semester of 2024. The total investment is R$22,200,000, with substantial payments during the years of 2021 to 2024.

1.2.3. Acquisition of tissue business in Brazil

On June 1 2023, the Company acquired the totality of the quotas held by Kimberly-Clark Brasil Indústria e Comércio de Produtos de Higiene Ltda. (“KC Brasil”) in MMC Brasil Indústria e Comércio Ltda (“MMC Brasil”) for the consideration of US$212,029 million (equivalent to R$1,072,657) paid in cash (“Transaction”). On September 15, 2023, Suzano was reimbursed in the amount of R$11,939 due to variations on the closing balance related to working capital, cash and estimated value of inventory which results with an adjusted total purchase consideration of R$1,060,718.

10

Suzano S.A.   Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information Nine-month period ended September 30, 2023

MMC Brasil had no operations until the contribution made by KC Brasil as a result of the carve out carried out in May 25, 2023 of the assets related to the business of manufacturing, marketing, distributing and selling of tissue products, including toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, tissues, as well as other paper products in Brazil, including ownership of the brand “NEVE” of KC Brasil.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price:

Total purchase consideration (full payment on closing)	1,072,657
Price Adjustment (working capital)	(11,939	)
Final total purchase consideration (full payment on closing)	1,060,718
Book value of Shareholders' Equity of MMC Brasil	587,226
Fair value adjustment
Inventories (1)	7,120
Property, plant and equipment (2)	105,858
Trademark and patents (3)	189,655
Net identifiable assets acquired	889,859
Goodwill (4)	170,859

(1)            Measured considering the balance of finished products based on selling price, net of selling expenses.

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

(3)            Measured based on revenue projections for products under the evaluated brands, according to the Refief from Royalties methodology.

(4)            Goodwill is attributable to the workforce and expected future profitability of the acquired business. It will be deductible for tax purposes.

Considering the fact that MMC Brasil was created based on a carve out of a portion of the KC Brasil businesses, counterparty of the transaction, there is no previous history of revenue and/or profits specifically for the acquired entity to be considered or included in a pro forma consolidated revenue and pro forma consolidated profit as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023.

No deferred tax was recognized on the fair value adjustments, as MMC will be merged in the fiscal year of 2023.

Acquisition related costs of R$12,105 are included in administrative expenses in profit or loss.

1.2.4. Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) decision – Effectiveness of final and unappealable tax decisions

On February 8, 2023, the Federal Supreme Court in Brazil concluded the judgments of Items 881 and 885, which discussed the effects of res judicata. The Company is not a party to any litigation related to a tax not being collected due to a past decision considered unappealable, therefore, the Company has no material adjustment due to the decision.

1.2.5. Treasury shares cancelled

On February 28, 2023, the Board of Directors decided to cancel 37,145,969 common shares, with an average cost of R$40.84 (forty reais and eighty-four cents) per share, in the amount of R$1,517,224, that were being held in treasury, without changing the share capital and against the balances of available profit reserves. After the cancellation of shares, the share capital of R$9,269,281 is now divided into 1,324,117,615 common shares, all nominative, book-entry and without par value.

1.2.6. Biomas

On September 5, 2022, Biomas Serviços Ambientais, Restauração e Carbono Ltda. (“Biomas”) was initially established by Suzano S.A.

On November 12, 2022, Suzano in partnership with Itaú Unibanco S.A, Marfrig Global Foods S.A., Rabobank Foundational Investments B.B., Santander Corretora de Seguros, Investimentos e Serviços S.A. and Vale S.A., announced an alliance during an event held at the Climate Conference, COP27, in Egypt, for the creation of a company focused entirely to forest restoration, conservation and preservation activities in Brazil.

After the transformation of Biomas into a joint venture, Suzano, together with Marfrig, Rabobank and Vale, made a commitment to invest R$20,000 each partner, in accordance to the terms of the respective investment agreements on February 27, 2023, once the conditions precedent and closing acts established in said agreements were fulfilled. Itaú and Santander made their respective capital contributions on March 21, 2023.

For the period ended September 30, 2023, the amount of R$30,000 (R$5,000 for each partner) was fully paid with a remaining balance of R$90,000 (R$15,000 for each partner) to be paid.

With the completion of the above investments, each company now holds 16.66% of equity interest at Biomas.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information, of the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, are prepared in compliance with the international standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and disclose all the applicable significant information related to the financial information, which is consistent with the information used by Management in the performance of its duties.

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

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information requires Management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt policies in the process of applying accounting practices that affect the disclosed amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, including the disclosure of contingent liabilities assumed. However, the uncertainty inherent to these judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities in future periods.

The Company reviews its judgments, estimates and assumptions continually as disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Note 3.2.34). There were no changes in these judgments, estimates and assumptions compared to disclosed on December 31, 2022.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information prepared on historical cost basis, except for the following material items recognized:

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

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

12

Suzano S.A.   Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information Nine-month period ended September 30, 2023

(iii) Biological assets measured at fair value;

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was prepared under the going concern assumption.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was prepared based on the information of Suzano and its subsidiaries on the same base date, except for subsidiary MMC Brasil and associates Ensyn and Spinnova, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting policies and practices.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, considering that its purpose is to provide an update on the activities, events and significant circumstances in relation to those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information focus on new activities, events and circumstances and do not duplicate the information previously disclosed, except when Management judges that the maintenance of the information is relevant.

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

There were no changes on such policies and estimates calculation methodologies, except for the application of the new accounting policies as of January 1, 2023 and whose estimated impact was disclosed in the annual financial statements of December 31, 2022, as disclosed in the Note 3.1.

3.1. New accounting policies and changes in accounting policies adopted

The new standards and interpretations issued, until the issuance of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information, are described below.

3.1.1. Accounting policies adopted

3.1.1.1. 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, with 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 timing of the 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 it refers to a transfer to a counterparty of an amount in cash, equity instruments, other assets or services.

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

13

Suzano S.A.   Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information Nine-month period ended September 30, 2023

3.1.1.2. 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, with early adoption permitted)

The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to the 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, considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of the 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.

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

3.1.1.3. 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 through the following clarifications:

(i) A change in accounting estimates that results from new information or new developments does not constitute the correction of an error

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

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

3.1.1.4. 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 to the initial recognition exemption. Under the amendments, an entity may 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 from the initial recognition of an asset and liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither the accounting nor the taxable profit. For example, this may arise upon the 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.

14

Suzano S.A.   Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information Nine-month period ended September 30, 2023

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 profits will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized) 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 another component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.

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

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

4.2. Liquidity risk management

The Company’s purpose is to maintain a strong cash and marketable securities position to meet its financial and operating commitments. The amount held in cash is intended to cover the expected outflows in the normal course of its operations, while the cash surplus is generally invested in highly liquid financial investments according to the 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 frequencies. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the variations in cash and marketable securities were as expected, and the cash generated from operations was mostly used for investments and debt service.

All derivative financial instruments were traded over the counter and do not require deposit guarantee margins.

The remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities are presented as of the balance sheet date. The amounts as set forth below consist of undiscounted cash flow, and include interest payments and exchange rate variations, and therefore may not reconcile with the amounts disclosed in the balance sheet.

4.3. Credit risk management

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, there were no significant changes in the credit risk management policies compared to those disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended of December 31, 2022 (Note 4).

4.4. Market risk management

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, there were no significant changes in the market risk management policies and procedures compared to those disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Note 4).

4.4.1. Exchange rate risk management

As disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Note 4), the Company enters 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 a 24-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 the contracting of extraordinary hedge, in addition to the strategy mentioned above, for investments in the Cerrado Project, with a term of up to 36 months as of November 2021, in an amount of up to US$1,000,000. On July 27, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of the program, increasing the maximum amount (notional) to US$1,500,000, maintaining the previously established deadline. In order to provide transparency on the hedge program for the Cerrado Project, since December 31, 2021 the Company has started to prominently disclose the respective contracted operations.

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

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to evaluate both its asset and liability positions in foreign currency, and the possible effects on its results. The probable scenario represents the amounts recognized, as they reflect the conversion into Brazilian Reais on the balance sheet date (R$ to U.S.$ = R$5.0076).

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly interest rates, remain constant. The other scenarios considered the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar at the rates of 25% and 50% before taxes.

The following table set forth the potential impacts at their absolute amounts:

	September 30, 2023
	Effect on profit or loss
	Probable (base value)			Possible (25%)			Remote (50%)
Cash and cash equivalents		4,655,025			1,163,756			2,327,513

Liabilities for asset acquisitions and subsidiaries		(130,275	)		(32,569	)		(65,138	)

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

The Company has sales operations in US$ in the futures markets, including strategies using options, to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of its revenue. These operations are limited to a percentage of the total exposure to US$ over a 24-month horizon, or to investments in the Cerrado Project, according to the extraordinary hedge described above, and are therefore pegged to the availability of ready-to-sell foreign exchange in the short term.

In addition to the transaction described above, the Company also taken out derivative instruments linked to the US$ and subject to exchange fluctuations, seeking to adjust the debt's currency indexation to the cash generation currency, as provided for in its financial policies.

Suzano S.A. Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information Nine-month period ended September 30, 2023

For the calculation of the mark-to-market (“MtM”) price, the exchange rate of the last business day of the period is used. These market movements caused a positive impact on the mark-to-market position entered into by the Company.

This analysis below assumes that all other variables, particularly the interest rates, remain constant. The other scenarios considered the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US$ by 25% and 50%, before taxes, based on the base scenario on September 30, 2023.

The following table set out the possible impacts assuming these scenarios:

(1) Long positions at US$/EUR parity in order to protect the Capex cash flow of the Cerrado Project against the appreciation of the Euro.

4.4.2. Interest rate risk management

Fluctuations in interest rates could increase or reduce the costs of new loans and existing contracted operations.

The Company is constantly looking for alternatives for the use of financial instruments in order to avoid negative impacts on its cash flow due to fluctuations in interest rates in Brazil or abroad.

On July 1, 2023, loan contracts (with a volume of R$15,566,016) and derivatives (with a volume of R$15,150,974) began to be indexed by Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (and no longer by London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)), adopted as the new reference interest rate by capital market. The change in the interest rate did not have a substantial impact on the balances presented in the loan and financing and derivative instrument categories.

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

For its market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity of changes in operations impacted by the following rates: Interbank Deposit Rate (“CDI”), Long Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”), Special System for Settlement and Custody (“SELIC”) and SOFR, which could impact the results. The probable scenario represents the amounts already booked, as they reflect Management’s best estimates.

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly exchange rates, will remain constant. The other scenarios considered a depreciation of 25% and 50% in market interest rates.

4.4.2.3. Sensitivity analysis to changes in the consumer price indices of the US economy

For the measurement of the probable scenario, the United States Consumer Price Index (“US-CPI”) was considered on September 30, 2023. The probable scenario was extrapolated considering a depreciation of 25% and 50% in the US-CPI to define the possible and remote scenarios, respectively.

4.4.3. Commodity price risk management

The Company is exposed to commodity prices, mainly in the selling price of pulp in the international market. The dynamics of rising and falling production capacities in the global market and macroeconomic conditions may impact the Company´s operating results.

Through a specialized team, the Company monitors hardwood pulp prices and analyses future trends, adjusting the forecasts aimed at assisting with preventive measures to calculate the different scenarios. There is no sufficiently liquid financial market to mitigate the risk of a material portion of the Company’s operations. Hardwood pulp price protection instruments available on the market have low liquidity and low volume, and high levels of distortion in price formation.

The Company is also exposed to international oil prices, reflected in logistical costs for selling in the export market, and indirectly in the costs of other supply, logistics and service contracts. In such cases, the Company evaluates whether to contract derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk of price variations in its results.

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.

Details of derivative financial instruments and their respective calculation methodologies are disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Note 4).

22

Suzano S.A. Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information Nine-month period ended September 30, 2023

The current contracts and the respective protected risks are set forth below:

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

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

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

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

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

(vi) SOFR x SOFR Swap: swap position exchanging a fixed rate added to SOFR for another fixed rate added to SOFR. The objective is to generate a fee discount for Prepayment with the banking institution, allowing for reversal mechanisms.

(vii) Zero Cost Collar: positions in an instrument that consists of the simultaneous combination of a purchase of put options and the sale of call options in US$, with the same principal amount and maturity, with the objective of protecting the cash flow of exports. Under this strategy, an interval is established where there is no deposit or receipt of financial margin at the option maturity. The objective is to protect the cash flow of exports against the depreciation of the Brazilian Real.

(viii) Non-Deliverable Forward contracts (“NDF”): short positions in US$ futures contracts with the objective of protecting the cash flow from exports against the depreciation of the Brazilian Real.

(ix) Swap US-CPI: The embedded derivative refers to the swap contracts for selling price variations in US$ and the US-CPI in forest partnership with a standing wood supply contract.

(x) Non-Deliverable Forward contracts: EUR and US$: call positions at EUR/US$ parity to protect the Capex cash flow of the Cerrado project against the appreciation of the Euro.

(xi) Swap Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil / Brent (“VLSFO”): Long positions in oil, aimed at hedging logistical costs related to maritime freight contracts against the increase in oil prices.

The variation in the fair values of derivatives on September 30, 2023 compared to the fair values measured on December 31, 2022 are explained substantially by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar and by settlements during the period. There were also impacts caused by the variations in the Pre, Foreign Exchange Coupon and SOFR curves in the operations.

In the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, the risks and opportunities information linked to climate change and the sustainability strategy were disclosed, which did not change significant during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, except for the items presented in Note 4.7.1.

4.7.1. Opportunities linked to climate change and the sustainability strategy

4.7.1.1 Biomas

As disclosed in Note 1.2.6, Suzano and five other global companies created Biomas with objective of restoring, conserving and preserving native forests in Brazil.

The initiative aims to restore and protect, over a period of 20 years, native forest in some of Brazil´s most valuable ecosystems, such as the Amazon, Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes – The area is equivalent to the territory of Switzerland or the state of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil.

The initiative aims to promote a sustainable business model from a financial perspective, enabling each restoration, conservation, and preservation projects to be viable through the commercialization of carbon credits, as removals and avoided emissions, reducing tons of CO2e from the atmosphere.

The first stage will involve the identification and prospecting of areas, promoting nurseries for the large-scale production of native trees, engaging local communities in Biomas activities, discussing the application of the project in public areas, partnering with carbon certification platforms and implementing pilot projects.

4.7.1.2 Generation of carbon credits

The Company has ongoing carbon credit projects certifications, including:

· Horizonte de Carbono Project, which aims to restore degraded areas through the reforestation of native and eucalyptus trees. On March 30, 2023, the certifier Verra completed the validation and verification of 1.9Mt CO2e of the Horizonte Project (VCS ID 3350), of which 10% will be allocated to the Verra reserve and 1.7Mt CO2e is eligible for the issuance of credits. The Company has not yet issued such credits.

The carbon credits are registered by Verra, an accredited company that holds a global platform, which is also responsible for the custody of the credits. This company has developed the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) program, currently regarded as the global reference standard, in the best understanding of the company.

4.7.1.3 Production of wood-based textile fiber

In May 2023, Woodspin, located in Finland, inaugurated the first factory producing sustainable, recyclable and fully biodegradable textile fiber from responsibly grown wood, the result of the joint venture between Spinnova and Suzano. This new type of “green fabric” has the potential to replace less sustainable materials used in many products. This unit will be used for market development and technology improvement.

For the construction and operation of textile fiber projects, Woodspin uses Suzano's microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) as raw material.

4.8. Capital management

The main objective is to strengthen the Company’s capital structure, aiming to maintain an appropriate level of financial leverage while mitigating risks that could affect the availability of capital for business development.

The Company continuously monitors significant indicators, such as consolidated financial leverage, which is the ratio of total net debt to adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

Long-term benefits include the stock option plan and phantom shares for executives and key members of Management, in accordance with the specific regulations disclosed in Note 22.

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 following rates: (i) 15% plus an additional 10% on taxable income in excess of R$240 for IRPJ; and (ii) 9% for CSLL, on the net income. Balances are recognized in the Company's income on an accruals basis.

Subsidiaries domiciled in Brazil have their taxes calculated and provisioned in accordance with the current legislation and their specific tax regime, including, in some cases, the presumed profit method. Subsidiaries domiciled abroad are subject to taxation 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, 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 subsidiaries, direct and indirect, domiciled abroad, equivalent to the profit earned by them 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 domiciled in Brazil, at each year ended.

The Company management believes in the validity of the provisions of international treaties entered by Brazil to avoid double taxation. In order to ensure its right to non-double taxation, the Company filed a lawsuit in April 2019, which aims to exempt the double taxation in Brazil, of profits earned by its subsidiary located in Austria, according to Law No. 12,973/14. Due to the preliminary injunction granted in favor of the Company in the aforementioned lawsuit, the Company decided not to add the profit from Suzano International Trading GmbH, located in Austria, when determining its taxable income and social contribution basis of the net profit of the Company for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. There is no provision for tax related to the non-double taxation profits of such subsidiary in 2022.

1) The difference in the taxation of subsidiaries is substantially due to the differences between the nominal tax rates in Brazil and those of subsidiaries located 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 certain limits and requirements are met. On September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company did not meet all of the limits and requirements, and therefore the expense is not deductible for the period.
