MATERIAL FACT
São Paulo, December 12, 2024 – Suzano S.A. (“Company” or “Suzano”) (B3: SUZB3 / NYSE: SUZ), in compliance with CVM Instruction 44 of August 23, 2021, and CVM Instruction 480 of December 7, 2009 (“CVM Instruction 480/09”), as amended, in line with corporate governance best practices, hereby announces the updated estimates of long-term operational expenditure in its pulp business.
1. Long-term estimates of operational expenditure in Suzano’s pulp business
The long-term outlook for the operating performance of the Company’s pulp business expected for 2027 considers the following drivers in relation to the estimate disclosed earlier: (i) inflation adjustment estimated for 2025 and the variation in inflation indices (IPCA, INPC and IGPM) observed in 2024 related to the forecast for that year; (ii) exchange rate variation; and (iii) updates related to operational costs and management initiatives aiming for greater structural competitiveness.
In view of the above, Suzano updates its estimated total operational expenditure to R$1,900 per tonne in 2027. This estimate takes into account the following operational expenditures: pulp production cash cost (including scheduled downtimes) of R$746 per tonne; logistics, selling and administrative costs and expenses of R$654 per tonne; and maintenance capex of R$500 per tonne.
The above estimates reflect actual amounts and do not consider expectations or assumptions regarding inflation or exchange variation for 2026 onwards. The estimates also consider the Company operating at full capacity.
2. Period projected and period of validity of estimates of total operational expenditure in Suzano’s pulp business
The period projected covers the evolution in the operating performance of the Company’s pulp business over the next three years, and the above amounts are expected to be achieved in 2027.
3. Update of Reference Form
The Company also clarifies that item 3 of the Reference Form will be duly updated within the deadline set in CVM Resolution 80/22.
By disclosing the information contained in this Material Fact notice, the Company reaffirms its commitment to transparency with its shareholders, investors and the market and will keep them adequately informed of any significant change in the estimated long-term operational performance announced.
The estimates shown here merely reflect the current estimates or expectations of the Company's management, are subject to risks and uncertainties, and in no way constitute a promise of performance. These estimates represent forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange

Any change in the perception or the factors described above could cause actual results to differ from the estimates presented here.
