4Q09 Results February 25th, 2010

Markets and Exchange Rate


The beginning of 2009 was clouded by fear and uncertainty. The global financial crisis triggered a worldwide economic slowdown in the second half of 2008, raising doubts and lowering expectations for the coming year. At that time, no-one knew how long the crisis would last or the magnitude of its impact on companies and people. In the first half of 2009, demand for paper remained low. According to the Brazilian Corrugated Cardboard Association (ABPO) and the Brazilian Association of Pulp and Paper Producers (Bracelpa), the domestic corrugated boxes and coated board markets recorded a downturn, while Brazils kraftliner exports were jeopardized by reduced consumption in Europe. On the supply side, several producers anticipated maintenance stoppages, scheduled forced leave in several units and shut down production lines in order to balance global inventories. In the second half, however, the economic indicators pointed to a recovery in certain regions. Inventories returned to their average historical levels and commodity prices began to move up. In Brazil, cement, corrugated boxes and paper sales also picked up in the second half, climbing back to 2008 levels. Old corrugated containers (OCC) prices, which averaged R$ 200 per tonne in the year, increased by close to 100% by December, pressuring recycled paper costs, while virgin fiber paper became more competitive. The upturn in kraftliner demand increased prices in several regions in the final quarter. According to FOEX, the dollar list price of 175g/m kraftliner brown in Europe grew by 9% over 3Q09. According to Bracelpa, shipments of coated board to the domestic market totaled 507,000 tonnes in 2009, exceeding market expectations given the 14% year-on-year reduction through June. According to ABPOs preliminary packaging market figures, shipments of corrugated boxes and sheets also moved up substantially in the second half, more than enough to offset the 7% year-on-year downturn in the first six months and raising shipments to 2008 levels. In October alone, shipments totaled 221,000 tonnes, a new record. According to preliminary data from the National Cement Industry Association (SNIC), domestic cement sales totaled 51 million tonnes in 2009, in line with the previous year. However, the outlook for the construction industry is much brighter, thanks to low-income housing projects through the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program, involving the building of an estimated one million new homes. The residential construction market in the United States remained stable in the final quarter, although building permits increased by 11% in December over November. The BM&FBovespa, whose main index fell by 41% in 2008, benefited from the return of foreign investments in 2009 and appreciated by 83%. The exchange rate (final sell price) closed the year at R$ 1.74/US$, 25% and 2% down on December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, respectively. In the fourth quarter, the exchange rate averaged R$ 1.74/US$, 24% and 7% less, respectively, than in 4Q08 and 3Q09. In 2009 as a whole, the average rate was R$ 1.99/US$, 8% up on 2008.

Of the total debt, R$ 2,446 million (53%) is denominated in foreign currency, equivalent to US$ 1,405 million, consisting mostly of export pre-payments.

4Q09 Results February 25th, 2010

The reduction in kraftliner prices during the international crisis led to permanent and temporary capacity shut-downs throughout the year. According to surveys by RISI, production in North America has been cut by 2.2 million tonnes since 4Q08. With the end of the black liquor tax credit, the closures should continue in 2010, creating a favorable scenario for new price hikes. According to FOEX, the average dollar list price of 175g/m2 kraftliner brown increased by 9% in 4Q09, closing at US$ 611/t. In 2009, international prices average US$ 577/t, 21% down on the US$ 732/t recorded in 2008.

The construction of a global-scale pulp plant with a capacity of between 1.3 and 1.5 million tonnes per year, increasing pulp production capacity to 3.2 million tonnes per year. The installation of a new coated board machine with a capacity of between 400,000 and 500,000 tonnes per year, expanding coated board capacity to 1.2 million tonnes per year and total paper and paper packaging production to 2.6 million tonnes per year.

Own resources:

The replanting of existing forests, given that yields from the new forests are 50% higher than those being harvested; The replacement of pine by eucalyptus forest thanks to demand for hardwood pulp in Monte Alegre;

Third-party resources, particularly from investment funds, with initial investments of US$ 20 million, rising to an estimated US$ 100 million. Expansion of planted area through incentive program.
