The management emphasized its strategic focus on maintaining competitiveness amid global uncertainties, with plans to reduce cash costs, SG&A expenses, and CapEx per ton throughout 2025.

The call also highlighted Suzano's intent to generate free cash flow under any pulp price scenario and to achieve positive EBITDA for its packaging operations by the second half of the year. Additionally, the potential for new investments was discussed, with the company indicating a preference for opportunities offering higher returns due to increased global risk, while maintaining a commitment to deleveraging and shareholder value.
