Suzano sold 14.2 million tonnes of pulp and paper in 2025, up 15% compared to 2024, driving record net revenue of R$50 billion. Annual cash cost per tonne dropped to R$817, the lowest since 2021, while adjusted EBITDA reached R$21.7 billion and net income hit R$13.4 billion.
1. Record Sales Volumes and Revenue
Suzano achieved 14.2 million tonnes of pulp and paper sales in 2025, reflecting a 15% increase over 2024. Strong contributions from the Ribas do Rio Pardo pulp mill, which began production in July 2024, and U.S. paper mills drove net revenue to R$50 billion.
2. Operational Efficiency and Cost Reduction
Focused cost discipline and process improvements reduced Suzano’s annual cash cost of pulp production to R$817 per tonne, the lowest level since 2021. Excluding downtime, this decline underpins enhanced competitiveness despite softer global pulp prices.
3. Cash Generation and Profitability
Operational efficiency supported operating cash generation of R$13.9 billion in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA climbed to R$21.7 billion and net income reached R$13.4 billion, sustaining robust cash flows for reinvestment and debt reduction.
4. Leverage Improvement
Suzano’s net leverage in U.S. dollars ended December 2025 at 3.2 times EBITDA, down from 3.3 times in the third quarter. This reduction reflects consistent deleveraging alongside strong cash generation.
