Suzano S.A. (SUZ) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

You're looking at how Suzano S.A. (SUZ) plans to grab a bigger slice of the pie using its existing products in markets where it already sells. This is about volume and market share, plain and simple.

Increase market share in China, the largest pulp market, by optimizing logistics

China remains the absolute core for global pulp, taking in approximately 35-40% of worldwide shipments. Suzano S.A. (SUZ) is positioned as the main supplier into this massive market. You saw them push a $20/ton price increase for Asian clients in February 2025, and again in August 2025, even when benchmark prices dipped to $495/ton the week before that August announcement. Still, the average net pulp price in the export market for Q3 2025 was $524/ton. The company's sheer scale is evident: in 2024, Suzano S.A. (SUZ) served 247 customers across the globe, moving 10.7 million tons of pulp. Optimizing logistics, especially given the investment in the Cerrado Project's outbound structure, is key to keeping that supply chain tight and competitive for these high-volume Chinese buyers.

Maximize volume utilization from the new Cerrado Project capacity in existing markets

The Cerrado Project, a $4.3 billion investment with R$15.9 billion (or ~$3.1 billion) allocated just for the plant construction, is now fully operational, adding over 20% to the total capacity. This single-line mill has an annual capacity of 2.55 million tons of eucalyptus pulp, bringing the company's total capacity to 13.5 million tons a year. You can see this volume hitting the market; pulp sales in Q3 2025 reached 3,165 thousand tonnes, marking a 20% increase year-over-year. For the twelve months ending in Q2 2025, total pulp and paper sales were 11.8 million tons. However, market conditions led Suzano S.A. (SUZ) to announce a 3.5% production cut, representing about 0.4-0.5 million tons of economic downtime, starting around August 2025, to manage returns. You'll want to watch how they balance this new capacity against the announced cuts.

Offer strategic pricing and volume incentives to key European and North American customers

For Europe and North America, Suzano S.A. (SUZ) has been more aggressive with pricing to capture value where margins were tighter. In February 2025, they announced a $60/ton hike for both regions. That move brought European prices up to $1,160/ton or US $1,220/ton. More recently, in October 2025, another $50/ton increase was targeted for Europe and the Americas. Despite these hikes, the average net pulp price in the export market for Q1 2025 was $556/ton, which was down 11% compared to Q1 2024. These price adjustments are the primary tool for market penetration in these developed economies.

Deepen relationships with existing tissue and printing paper manufacturers for higher share of wallet

The focus here is shifting volume toward finished goods customers, especially in tissue. The sanitary paper segment is the largest user of Suzano S.A. (SUZ)'s pulp, accounting for 62% of sales, while printing and writing papers take 15%. You know they've been integrating downstream; the 2022 acquisition of Kimberly-Clark's Brazilian tissue business boosted their local tissue market share from 13% to 22-23%. They are continuing this trend, announcing a landmark joint venture with Kimberly-Clark in Q2 2025. Paper sales volume reflects this focus: 436 thousand tonnes in Q3 2025, up 21% versus Q3 2024. Customer satisfaction is also being tracked; the Net Promoter Score (NPS) improved by 16 percentage points in 2024 based on feedback from 32 global customers.

Drive cost efficiencies to maintain a competitive price advantage over global peers

This is where the Cerrado Project really shines for market penetration; it's about having the lowest landed cost. The cash cost of pulp production, excluding downtime, hit R$801/tonne in Q3 2025, a 7% reduction year-over-year. This is a structural advantage, as the eucalyptus-based model generally gives Suzano S.A. (SUZ) a 15-20% cost advantage over global competitors. The company's overall pulp capacity stands at 13.6 million tons, giving it a 29% share of the global hardwood pulp market as of Q2 2025. Even with lower pulp prices, the gross margin was historically considered solid around 50% because of this low cash cost structure. Financially, net leverage in USD ended Q3 2025 at 3.3 times, while net revenue for that quarter was R$12.2 billion. The cost drive is defintely working to keep them ahead.

• Pulp business unit reported R$4.5 billion EBITDA in Q3 2025 with a 49% margin.
• Net revenue in Q3 2025 totaled R$12.2 billion, broadly flat versus 3Q24.
• Net leverage in USD ended Q3 2025 at 3.3 times.

Suzano S.A. (SUZ) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Suzano S.A. can move beyond its core pulp and paper business, which is a smart way to manage the cyclical nature of commodity markets. Diversification here means using the massive forest asset base and industrial know-how to enter entirely new, higher-value markets. It's about turning wood residue and operational capacity into new revenue streams.

Here's a quick look at the financial backdrop as Suzano S.A. plans these moves. The company revised its 2025 investment plan to R$13.3 billion, showing commitment to growth even while managing existing capacity ramp-up. You can see the scale of the core business in the latest reported figures:

Commercializing bio-oil and bio-chemicals derived from lignin and other wood residues for new industrial markets is a direct path to higher-margin products. Suzano S.A. has been actively supporting this through its venture arm, with US$70 million available in Suzano Ventures for startups focused on bioeconomic solutions based on eucalyptus. Furthermore, the company's R&D portfolio is supported by the expanded Limeira Technology Center, which specifically houses pilot plants for projects including bio-oil applications.

Entering the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market using biomass as a feedstock is a strategic alignment with global decarbonization trends. Suzano S.A. is already positioned as the biomass producer in a partnership cluster with Galp (fuel producer) and Vibra (distributor) to investigate making SAF viable at scale. This leverages their core competency in biomass supply, a critical, high-volume input for future SAF production pathways.

Forming joint ventures to develop advanced materials like nanocellulose for electronics or automotive sectors represents a move into true specialty chemicals. While specific nanocellulose revenue figures for 2025 aren't public, the commitment to innovation is clear through the venture capital allocation mentioned earlier. This strategy is about capturing value from the entire wood fiber, not just the cellulose pulp.

Acquiring a company in the renewable energy sector to utilize forest assets for power generation builds upon existing capabilities. Suzano S.A. already generates about 88.16% of its energy matrix from renewable sources, primarily wood-based biomass. The new Cerrado Project alone is set to increase the renewable energy available to the national grid by an average of 105 MW at full capacity. The company has a stated goal to increase its exports of renewable electricity by 50% by 2030, showing a clear, measurable target for this diversification area.

Developing and marketing carbon credits and environmental services as a standalone business unit capitalizes on the company's massive forest base. Suzano S.A. has a commitment to achieve a net removal of 40 million tons of CO₂ by 2025. In 2024, the company reported sales of I-RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates) totaling R$245,000, suggesting an early monetization of environmental attributes. The company's accumulated carbon balance from 2020 to 2022 was a removal of 22 million tons of CO₂, providing a substantial base for future credit issuance across forestry, industrial, and logistics scopes.

You should track the progress of these non-core initiatives against the overall 2025 investment budget of R$13.3 billion. Finance: draft the capital allocation breakdown for the New Business area by next Tuesday.
