1.1    Major events in the period

 

Corporate events

 

i)  Business Combination with Fibria

 

On January 3, 2019 (acquisition date of control by Suzano), after the fulfillment of all conditions for the conclusion of the transaction to combine the operations and shareholding base of Suzano and Fibria, was performed the exchange of Fibria’s shares by Suzano’s shares and, on January 14, 2019, Suzano completed the corporate reorganization process, following the terms of the Agreement signed by both entities on March 15, 2018.

 

The consideration by Fibria, defined in terms of the Agreement, was as follows:

 

a) Share exchange ratio

 

On January 2, 2019, pursuant to Notice to Shareholders, the exchange ratio of the common shares issued by the Eucalipto Holding S.A. (“Holding”) held by Fibria’s shareholders for shares issued by Suzano was adjusted from 0.4611 to 0.4613, being the exchange ratio of 0.4613 considered as final. The adjustment in the exchange ratio, compared to the originally announced, was due to (i) a change in the total number of shares issued by Fibria ex-treasury and disregarding the shares resulting from the vesting of option plans between those in the Protocol and Justification and present date of 553,080,611 shares for 553,733,881 shares and (ii) alteration of the number of shares issued by Suzano ex-treasury and disregarding the shares resulting from the vesting of option plans between that contained in the Protocol and Justification and the present date of 1,091,984,141 shares to 1,093,784,141 shares.

 

As a result of this adjustment, (i) Suzano issued, as a result of the merger of the Holding, 255,437,439 new common shares in the market value of R$ 36.95, totaling amount of R$ 9,438,413, of which R$ 3,027,528 was recognized as capital increase and R$ 6,410,885, as capital reserve; and (ii) the amount attributed to Suzano’s common share to calculate the capital gain, as disclosed in the Notice of Shareholders on November 29, 2018, increased from R$ 15.38 attributed to 0.4611 common share for R$ 15.39 attributed to 0.4613 common share of Suzano.

 

b) Cash installment

 

On January 10, 2019, by means of the Notice to Shareholders, the Company communicated the final value of the Adjusted Cash Portion, corresponding to the redemption value of each Holding’s redeemable preferred share, originally equivalent to R$ 52.50, (i) reduced by the amount of dividends declared by Fibria on December 3, 2018 and paid in Brazil on December 12, 2018 in the amount of R$ 5.03 (ii) plus R$ 2.73, corresponding to the variation of the average daily rate of Brazilian interbank deposits expressed as an annual percentage, based on 252 business days, calculated and disclosed daily by B3 (“DI Rate”), between March 15, 2018 and the Expiration Date of the Transaction including January 10, 2019 (including) and January 14, 2019 (including), the DI Rate was estimated at 6.40% per annum, with a total and final amount of R$ 50.20 per share, making up the final amount of the Adjusted Cash Amount of R$ 27,797,441.

The Company has not yet finalized its valuation of all identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in the acquisition and therefore some of these amounts are provisional. These amounts may be adjusted as valuations are finalized.

 


(a) Calculated considering the balance of finished products based on selling price, net of selling expenses and an accepted margin based on the results achieved in 2018.

 

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

 

(c) In order to determine the fair value adjustment in the customer portfolio, the income approach and the MPEEM (Multi Period Excess Earnings Method) method were used to measure the present value of the income that will be generated during the remaining useful life of the asset. Considering the 5-year history of Fibria’s sales data and the churn rate that measures customer satisfaction and customer permanence in the portfolio, the adjustment was calculated using estimated discounted cash flows.

 

(d) Fibria has concession contracts and port assets to assist in port operations in Brazil. For fair value calculation of these assets was considered the income approach, the MPEEM (Multi Period Excess Earnings Method) method that measures the present value of the income that will be generated during the remaining useful life of the asset and method of direct cost differential.

 

(e) In the business combination, for the calculation of the fair value of the contingencies, whose chances of loss were classified as possible and remote, Fibria’s Management and its external and independent advisors were considered for their fair values, whose amounts were measured based on the analyzes of Fibria’s external lawyers.

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

(f) The adjustment to fair value of loans and financing was calculated based on the fair value of the Bonds, based on the quotation of the security in the secondary market, and the adjustment to present value considering the market rate at the base date (On December 31, 2018).

 

(g) For the measurement of the fair value of the taxes to be recovered, the amount to be recovered, discounted to the present value considering the expected Selic rate for the tax period, was considered.

 

(h) In other net assets and liabilities, including supply contracts, accounts receivable and advances to suppliers, the income evaluation methodology, the present value and the direct cost differential were used.

 

(i) Deferred income tax on fair value adjustments of assets of Veracel and Portocel. For the remaining fair value, we did not recognize deferred income taxes liabilities due to Fibria’s Legal Merger in April 2019.

 

(j) Goodwill is attributable to the strong market position and expected future profitability of Fibria in negotiations in the eucalyptus pulp market.

Suzano S.A.

Notes to the Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information as of March 31, 2019

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

The consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements of the Company and Fibria for the year ended December 31, 2018, considering that its purpose is to provide an update on the activities, events and significant circumstances in relation to those presented in the annual financial statements.

 

The following accounting practices were not described in the notes to the financial statements of Suzano as of December 31, 2018, but are relevant for this quarter, especially considering the acquisition of Fibria, as described in Note 1.1.

 

(i)   Reclassification — Statements of cash flows

 

The Company made certain reclassifications on its Statements of cash flows regarding the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, substantially in operating activities, for a better comparison with the Statements of cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

 

3.1  New Accounting Policies Adopted

 

3.1.1   Leases — IFRS 16

 

The Company adopted IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019.

 

This standard determines that lessees must recognize future liabilities in their liabilities and their right to use the leased asset for all lease agreements, with exemption allowed to short-term or low-value contracts. Short-term or low-value contracts for the exemption of the standard refers to contracts where the individual value of the assets is lower than US$ 5 thousand and maturity date is before 12 months, represented, mainly, by equipment of technology and vehicles.

 

The Company adopted the standard using a modified retrospective approach that does not require the restatement of the comparative balances.

 

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

 

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

 

a) The use of a single discount rate for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics;

 

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

 

c) The accounting of lease payments as expenses in the case of leases for which the underlying asset is of low value; and

Suzano S.A.

Notes to the Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information as of March 31, 2019

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

d) The use of hindsight in determining the lease term, when the agreement contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

 

e) The Company excluded initial direct costs of measuring the right to use asset at the date of initial application.

 

The effects of adopting this new standard are presented in note 18.

 

3.1.2                                Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments — IFRIC 23

 

The interpretation is applicable when there are uncertainties as to the acceptance of the treatment by the Fiscal Authority. If acceptance is not likely, the values of tax assets and liabilities should be adjusted to reflect the best resolution of the uncertainty.

 

The Company has evaluated the changes introduced by this new standard and based on the analysis carried out, did not identify material changes that have an impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information, or alter the recognition and measurement of uncertainties about tax treatment of income.

 

3.2 New standards, revisions and interpretations not yet in force

 

There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial information.

Sensitivity analysis — foreign exchange exposure

 

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to jointly evaluate the long and short positions in foreign currency, and the possible effects on its results. The probable scenario represents the amounts already booked, as they reflect the translation into Brazilian reais on the base date of the balance sheet (R$/US$ = 3.8967).

 

The other scenarios were created considering the appreciation/depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes.

 

The note below presents the potential impacts on the results assuming these scenarios (in absolute amounts):

Sensitivity analysis — exposure to interest rates

 

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”) may have on its 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 were developed considering appreciation/depreciation of 25% and 50% in the market interest rates. The following table shows the potential impacts on the results (in absolute amounts):

Sensitivity analysis for changes in the consumer price index of the US economy

 

For the calculation of the probable scenario, the United States Consumer Price Index (US-CPI) was considered on March 31, 2019. The probable scenario was extrapolated considering an increase / decrease of 25 % and 50% in the US-CPI to define the possible and remote scenarios, respectively

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

4.5                                          Capital management

 

The main objective of Company’s capital management is to ensure and maintain a solid credit rating, in addition to mitigating risks that may affect capital availability in business development.

 

The Company monitors constantly significant indicators, such as:

 

i) consolidated financial leverage ratio, which is the ratio of total net debt to its adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”); and

 

ii) management of contractual financial covenants, maintaining a safety margin so as not to breach these covenants. Management prioritizes new loans denominated in the same currency of its main cash generation source, to obtain a natural hedge in the long term for its cash flow. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts based on changes in economic conditions.

 

4.6                                          Fair value hierarchy

 

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, there were no changes in the criteria of classification of the assets and liabilities in the levels of the fair value hierarchy when compared to the criteria used in the classification of those instruments disclosed in Note 4.7 to our most recent annual financial statements as at December 31, 2018. There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the periods presented.

(a)          In 2017, the Company created the Credit Rights Investment Fund (“FIDC”), which is a vehicle with the purpose of acquiring credit rights originated from the sales made by Suzano to facilitate credit to certain customers. The FIDC is an investment fund that acquires receivables and securities representing credit rights. The FIDC has a two-year term which ended in March 2019 and was renewed for another 6 months. The Company has a co-obligation and maintains a substantial credit risk, so that the Company booked an accounts receivable of R$ 14,179 and a liability (loan) of R$ 14,179 (Note 17.1).

 

The change in the consolidated balance is mainly related to the balances arising from the acquisition of Fibria in January 2019, as disclosed in note 1.1.

 

The Company performs factoring transactions for certain customers’ receivables where, substantially all risks and rewards related to these receivables are transferred to the counterpart, so that these receivables are derecognized from accounts receivable in the balance sheet. The impact of these factoring transactions on the accounts receivable in the balance sheet as at March 31, 2019, is R$ 3,464,419 (R$ 396,563 as at December 31, 2018).

(c)           ICMS credits accrued due to the volume of exports and credit generated in operations of entry of products.  Credits are concentrated in the state of Maranhão, where the Company realizes the credits through “Transfer of Accrued Credit” (sale of credits to third parties), after approval from the State Ministry of Finance. Credits are also being realized through consumption in its consumer goods (tissue) operations in the domestic market that are already operational in Maranhão.

 

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

 

(e)           Includes the provision for discount on sale to third parties of the accumulated ICMS credit in Maranhão and the provision for full loss of the low probability of realization of the units of Mato Grosso do Sul, Bahia and Espírito Santo due to the difficulty of its accomplishment (item 9.c)).

18                       Leasing operations

 

18.1 Right of use on lease agreements

 

As described in Note 3.1.1, the Company adopted IFRS 16 and elected to apply IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of adoption recorded at the date of initial application. Accordingly, comparative periods were not restated.

 

On January 1, 2019, the amounts corresponding to the right to use the current contracts were recognized, in amounts equivalent to the present value of the obligations assumed with the counterparties. The amortization of these balances will occur according to the terms defined for the leases.

 

In addition, the Company recognized in this caption the residual value of the right to use the contracts previously classified as financial leases under IAS 17 and which were recognized in the Property, plant and equipment Assets group until December 31, 2018, being reclassified the amount of R$ 89,338 in the initial adoption.

18.2 Lease obligations

 

At the adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized lease liabilities for the current contracts and which were previously classified as operating leases in accordance with IAS 17 - Leasing Operations, except for scheduled contracts in the practical file permitted by the standard and adopted by the Company, as described in Note 3.1.1.

 

The liabilities recognized as of January 1, 2019 correspond to the remaining balances of the lease contracts, brought to present value by the discount rates on the date of their adoption.

 

In addition, the Company recognized in this caption the remaining balances of contracts previously classified as financial leases under IAS 17 and which were recognized in the group of loans and financing until December 31, 2018, being reclassified the amount of R$ 160,384 in the initial adoption.

25.1   Criteria for identifying operating segments

 

The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments through the operating result. The information presented under “Not Segmented” is related to income statement and balance sheet items not directly attributed to the pulp and paper segments, such as, net financial result and income and social contribution taxes expenses, in addition to the balance sheet classification items of assets and liabilities.

 

The operating segments defined by Management are as follows:

 

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.

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

27                       Explanatory notes not presented

 

We presented explanatory notes to the annual financial statements detailing the financial instruments, advances to suppliers, the tax amnesty and refinancing program, asset retirement obligations, long term commitments, shareholders’ equity, benefits to employees, compensation program based on shares, accounts payable with acquisition of assets and subsidiaries, insurance, and impairment testing, that we omitted in the March 31, 2019 consolidated interim financial information because the assumptions, operations and policies have not seen any relevant changes compared to the position presented in the financial statements as at December 31, 2018.

 

28                       Subsequent events

 

i)                      Approval of the legal merger of Fibria

 

On April 1, 2019, the Company approved in the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting of the Company the legal merger of Fibria, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with the transfer of all its equity to the Company and its consequent winding up (“Legal Merger”), provided that the share capital of the Company will not change due to the Legal Merger. Because of the Legal Merger, the Company will succeed Fibria in all its rights and obligations.

 

ii)                  Financing agreements guaranteed by export credit agencies settled in advance

 

On April 29 and April 30, 2019, Suzano S.A. voluntarily settled in advance US$ 208.4 million (equivalent to R$ 822.2 million) related to financing agreements that were guaranteed by export credit agencies (Finnvera and EKN).
