corporate reorganization process, following the terms of the Agreement signed by both entities on March 15, 2018.

 

The transferred consideration by Suzano for acquisition of control of Fibria, defined in terms of the Agreement, was as follows:

 

1.1.1.1   Share exchange ratio

 

On January 2, 2019, according to Notice to Shareholders, the exchange ratio of the common shares issued by 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 that 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 that present date of 1,091,984,141 shares to 1,093,784,141 shares.

 

As consequence 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.

 

1.1.1.2   Cash installment

 

On January 10, 2019, by means of the Notice to Shareholders, the Company communicated the final value of the Adjusted Cash installment, 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 per share issued by Fibria (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, measured 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 annual, 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 the valuation of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination with Fibria and therefore some of these amounts are provisional. These amounts may be adjusted as valuations are finalized.

 


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

 

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

 

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

 

(4)              Fibria has concession contracts and port assets to assist in port operations in Brazil. For fair value measurement of these assets was considered the income approach, the Multi Period Excess Earnings Method (“MPEEM”) 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.

 

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

 

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

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

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

 

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

 

(9)              Deferred 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.

 

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

 

For more information on the business combination refer note 13.4.

 

1.1.2                    Approval of the legal merger of Fibria

 

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

The unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial information was prepared using the historical cost as the basis of value, except for certain financial assets and liabilities and biological assets that are measured at fair value.

 

2.2          Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was prepared based on the information of Suzano and its subsidiaries on the period ended September 30, 2019, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting practices and policies, except to Futuragene PLC, which period end is August 31, 2019, however, has no material effect in relation to unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information.

 

The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control is obtained until the date that control ceases to exist. For joint operations, the balances of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are proportionally recognized in relation to the participation in the joint operation. In the case of joint venture with other companies and associates, these investments are accounted for using the equity method. In relation to associates Ensyn and Spinnova, which period end is August 31, 2019 for interim financial information, has no material effect in relation to unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information.

 

In the consolidation process, the balances in the balance sheet and income statement accounts corresponding to the transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated, as well as the unrealized gains and losses and the investments in these subsidiaries and their respective equity accounting results.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information of the balance Sheet, Statements of Income (loss), Statements of Comprehensive Income (loss), Statements of Changes in Equity and Statements of Cash Flows,  as well the corresponding notes to the financial information regarding to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, existing on this unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information are not comparable with the last annual financial statements as at December 31, 2018 and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 due to the conclusion of the business combination of Fibria in January 2019, as disclosed in note 1.1 above. During the period from January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019 Suzano consolidated Fibria’s interim accounting information. However, as from April 1, 2019, Fibria was merged into Suzano, as note 1.1.2.

3                               Accounting Policies

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was prepared using accounting practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements at December 31, 2018, except for the application of the new accounting standards as of January 1, 2019, described below and which the estimated impacts were previously disclosed in the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2018.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the 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 disclosed 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 business combination with Fibria, as described in note 1.1.1.

 

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 U.S.$ 5,000 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.

 


 

Suzano S.A.

 

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information

as of September 30, 2019

 

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

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

 

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

 

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 was 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;

 

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

 

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

 

The effects of adopting this new standard are set forth 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.

 

3.1.3                              Fair value amortization of subsidiaries

 

Fair value amortization of assets and liabilities are classified in cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, other operating income (expenses) net and financial result, according to the realization of the items that originated them.

 

3.1.4                              Reclassification — Statements of cash flows

 

The Company made certain reclassifications on its Statements of cash flows regarding the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, substantially in operating activities,

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

for a better comparison with the Statements of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

 

3.1.5                              Revaluation of investment — Ensyn

 

Ensyn investment was previously classified as financial investment measured through other comprehensive income, however in the second quarter of 2019, based on the shareholders’ agreement and recent capital contribution to Ensyn, the Company increased its stake in this investment and obtained significant influence. Therefore, as from the second quarter of 2019, the Company has recorded its investment prospectively under the equity method using the fair value as deemed cost’ method, with the consequent presentation of the investment under “Investments in subsidiaries, affiliates, joint operations and joint ventures” and no longer under “Other investments”, as disclosed in note 13.2.

 

Moreover, the Company identified a goodwill based on expected future profitability in the amount of U.S.$40,049 (equivalent to R$154,578), arising from the difference of the consideration paid of U.S.$43,000 (equivalent to R$165,928) and the carrying amount of the net assets of the investee of U.S.$2,941 (equivalent to R$11,350).

 

3.1.6                              Revaluation of investment — Spinnova Oy

 

Spinnova investment was previously classified as financial investment measured through other comprehensive income, however in the third quarter of 2019, based on the shareholders’ agreement and recent capital contribution to Spinnova, the Company increased its stake in this investment and obtained significant influence. Therefore, as from the third quarter of 2019, the Company has recorded its investment prospectively under the equity method using the fair value as deemed cost’ method, with the consequent presentation of the investment under “Investments in subsidiaries, affiliates, joint operations and joint ventures” and no longer under “Other investments”, as disclosed in note 13.2.

 

3.1.7                              Biological assets

 

Considering that Suzano used different assumptions to the biological assets fair value measurements that Fibria prior to the acquisition, in the first measurement after business combination, the Company reviewed its assumption for “effective planting area”, keeping the immature forest (up to 2 years from the date of planting) at historical cost.  As a result of the Management’s considers that during this period, the historical cost of biological assets approximates to its fair value. Additionally, the purpose of this change is to reflect the experience acquired in the biological assets measurements process and the alignment of calculation approach with the Company’s forest management, which perform continuous forest inventories for the purpose of estimating the wood stock or future production forecast, represented by the average annual increment (“IMA”), from the 3rd year of planting.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information

as of September 30, 2019

 

(In thousands of R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Considering the fact that in the first two years of forest formation, the historical cost approximates to its fair value, as described above, this assumption alignment did not generate significant impacts on the Company’s financial statements.

 

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.

 

4                                                  Financial Instruments and Risks Management

4.3.1.1                    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 already booked, as they reflect the translation into Brazilian Reais on the base date of the balance sheet (R$/U.S.$ = 4.1644).

 

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.

4.3.2                              Interest rate risk

 

4.3.2.1                    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”) 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 considered appreciation/depreciation of 25% and 50% in the market interest rates.

4.3.2.3                    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 September 30, 2019. 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.

4.5                                        Capital management

 

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

 

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

 

4.6                                        Fair value hierarchy

 

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 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 of December 31, 2018, except for Ensyn’s and Spinnova’s investments as disclosed in note 3.1.5. and 3.1.6. There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the periods disclosed.

(1)         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 September 30, 2019. The Company has a co-obligation and maintains a substantial credit risk on receivables, so that the Company booked an accounts receivable of R$8,704 and a liability (loan) of R$8,704, note 17.1.

 

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 September 30, 2019, is R$ 4,490,045 (R$ 396,563 as at December 31, 2018).

Regarding this subject, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) initially decided on March 15th, 2017, that ICMS is not included in the tax basis of the aforementioned contributions. The Federal Government made an appeal (“Embargos de Declaração”) in October 2017, requesting the reversal of the Supreme Court’s initial decision among other items. The appeal has yet to be judged.

 

Based on the Supreme Court’s initial decision and the legal opinion provided by external legal consultants, the Company believes that the probability of the Supreme Court altering its decision is remote. The Company thus started to exclude the ICMS from the tax basis of the referred contributions since August 2018, a practice also supported by court decisions.

 

For certain PIS and COFINS credits to be recovered, the Company has received final favorable court decisions. In the quarter ended September 30th, 2019, the Company recorded an asset of R$ 128,115 relating to PIS and COFINS tax credits within recoverable taxes and a gain in the statement of income (loss) within other operational results, regarding certain claims for the calculation period from 2006 to July 2018. The Company has estimated the amount attributable to these claims based on the available relevant fiscal documents, and this amount is subject to adjustments to be recorded by management in the future periods.

 

The Company has additional claims for which a final decision has not been received and for which no asset or gain have been recorded.

 

(3)   Tax on Sales and Services (“ICMS”): Credits from the acquisition of property, plant and equipment are recovered on a linear basis over a four year period, from the acquisition date, in accordance with the relevant regulation, ICMS Control on Property, Plant and Equipment (“CIAP”).

 

(4)   ICMS credits accrued due to the volume of exports and credit generated in operations of entry of products:  Credits are concentrated in the state of Maranhão, Espírito Santo, Bahia and Mato Grosso do Sul, where the Company realizes the credits through sale of credits to third parties, after approval from the State Ministry of Finance. Credits are also being realized through consumption in its consumer goods (tissue) operations in the domestic market that are already operational in Maranhão.

 

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

 

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

The projected realization of assets deferred taxes was prepared based on the Management’s best estimates and on projected results.

As described in note 3.1.1, the Company adopted IFRS 16 and applied the IFRS 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 agreements 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. 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 Company does not have lease agreements with clauses of (a) variable payments that are based on the performance of the leased assets (ii) guarantee of residual value (iii) restrictions, such as, for example, obligation to maintain financial ratios.

 

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

Additionally, in 2019 the Company established a Restricted Shares plan based on the Company’s performance (Program 5). The Plan associates the quantity of Restricted Shares granted to the Company’s performance in relation to the EBITDA mark. The quantity of the restricted stock granted is defined in financial terms and is subsequently converted into shares based on the last 60 stock exchange trading days on December 31, 2019 of SUZB3 at B3.

 

After measurement of 2019 EBITDA, the Restricted Shares will be granted immediately, as they not have to comply to the vesting period. However, the beneficiaries of the grant must comply to the lockup period of thirty-six (36) months during which they will not be able to market the shares.

 

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

26                       Information by Segment and Geographic Areas

 

26.1             Criteria for identifying operating segments

 

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

 

The operating segments defined by Management are 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.
