(1) The fair value presented in the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2025 did not include one of the 2029 Bond series, in the amount of R$ 5,568,313. Considering the inclusion of this amount, the fair value previously reported as of December 31,2025, in the amount of R$ 36,655,663, was revised to R$ 42,223,976.
The book values of loans and financing are disclosed in Note 22.1.
Management considers that, for its other financial assets and 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
As disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Note 4), 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2026, 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2026, 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, 2025 (Note 4).
4.4 Market risk management
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, 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, 2025 (Note 4).
4.4.1 Exchange rate risk management
As disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Note 4), the Company enters into US$ 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.
Additionally, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments linked to the U.S. dollar in order to align the foreign exchange index of its debt with the currency in which it generates cash flows, in accordance with its financial risk management policies. The assets and liabilities exposed to foreign currency risk, substantially denominated in U.S. dollars (US$), are presented below:

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 US$ = R$5.1766). For the calculation of the mark-to-market (“MtM”) price, the exchange rate of the last business day of the period is used.
This analysis below assumes that all other variables, particularly the interest rates, remain constant. The other scenarios considered the variation of the Brazilian Real against the US$ by 25% and 50%, before taxes, based on the base scenario on June 30, 2026.
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.

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”), Long Term Rate ("TLP"), 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 exposure of 25% and 50% in market interest rates before taxes.
4.4.2.1 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 June 30, 2026. The probable scenario was extrapolated considering a appreciation of 25% and 50% in the US-CPI to define the possible and remote scenarios, respectively.
The following table sets out the possible impacts, assuming these scenarios in absolute amounts:

4.4.3 Pulp and commodity price risk management
The Company is exposed to the selling price of pulp and commodity prices 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, in accordance with the Company's hedging policy.
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, 2025 (Note 4).

(1)The notional amounts reflect exclusively the remaining months of the hedge and do not include the financial settlements that remain outstanding for the subsequent period.
(2)The embedded derivative refers to a swap contract for the sale of price variations in US$ and US-CPI within the term of a forest partnership with a standing wood supply contract.
The variation in the fair values of derivatives on June 30, 2026 compared to the fair values measured on December 31, 2025 are explained substantially by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US$ and by settlements during the period. There were also impacts caused by the variations in the Pre Fixed, Foreign Exchange Coupon and SOFR curves in the operations.
It is important to highlight that the outstanding agreements on June 30, 2026 are over-the-counter market operations, without any type of collateral margin or forced early settlement clause due to variations from market marking.

Suzano has a Public Information Security Policy, which aims to establish guidelines regarding cyber security management and controls at Suzano, seeking to mitigate vulnerabilities, preserve and protect assets, mainly information and personal data, in accordance with current laws, regulations and contractual obligations, covering the confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity and legality of information. The Policy establishes responsibilities to avoid damages, which may represent financial impacts, image and reputation, exposure of information, interruption of operations, among other damages due to cyber-attacks.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, no material incidents associated with cybersecurity were identified that could affect the confidentiality, integrity and/or availability of the systems used by the Company.
4.7 Climate change
In the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company disclosed information on the risks and opportunities related to climate change and its sustainability strategy. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, there were no significant changes in these risks. The update, during the period, to the status of sustainability targets linked to financial instruments—reflecting the achievement of the target for women in leadership positions and the non‑achievement of the GHG emissions intensity target—resulted mainly in the application of a 25‑basis‑point step‑up in the interest rate of the 2031 SLB, from 3.75% to 4.00%, effective June 16, 2026. The water withdrawal intensity target remains under measurement, with verification expected by the end of the 2026 fiscal year.
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”).
