RECAP ON THE PULP MARKET• During Q4 2018, market pulp demand experienced a significant decrease, falling 1.7 million tons YoY. China

accounted for 90% of this reduction and Europe followed 2/3 months later. With Chinese buyers reducing pulppurchases, prices began to fall and producers stock started to build-up at Chinese (& European) ports

• From Q4 2018 to end Q1 2019, Chinese big pulp buyers reduced significantly their purchases, forcing a spiral ofprice reduction in pulp prices (YTD ~ -28%); producers stocks continued to increase while buyers used asignificant part of their own inventories

• Currently, demand in China seems to be back to normal and growing; there are production cuts (maintenanceand market driven) from major pulp suppliers in Latin America and Asia announced for Q3 and Q4

• Pulp production costs are increasing due to wood and chemicals; high-cost hardwood producers in China are nowsignificantly pressured by lower pulp prices

• With buyer stocks at low levels, restocking should occur upon price growth expectations

<<

With no new pulp supply forecasted until mid-2021, medium term fundamentals remain sound, but could be negatively impacted by economic and political instability

UWF MARKET CONDITIONS

D E M A N D

P U L P P R I C E

Paper demand falling above trend in 2019, facing a pipeline destocking; UWF continues to show the highest resilience among the major graphic papers;

Hardwood pulp prices continue to fall in Europe but seem to have stabilized in China

Several producers announced conversion / shutdowns of UWF in 2019 in Europe (-280 kton), US (-822 kton), Asia (-882 kton) and Latin America (-180 kton), partially offsetting new capacities entering the market; strong momentum in Chinese paper market with price recovery and conversions of paper machines from Containerboard to UWF paper

Even though pix price avg. 2019 YTD is still 5% above 2018 (908 € in 2019 vs 864 € in 2018), paper prices are under pressure;

iPULP PAPER• Hardwood pulp prices continue

to fall in Europe, but seem to have stabilized in China; in the case for softwood, there are signs that prices have started to recover in Q4 in China

• With demand picking up and without any new significant increase in capacity until H2 2021, prices should recover in 2020

TISSUE• Demand continues to

present interesting growth rates, even in a context of new capacity additions

• Group will further consolidate its new operations and increase in global sales as the industrial operations matures.

22

<<

After a record 2018, 2019 has proven to be a challenging year

Adverse market conditions and inflation in some key production cost factors have pressured results

Focus on cost efficiency measures intensified, with new fixed cost measures for 2020

• Several production shutdowns and conversions announced for 2019 should improve global demand/supply balance;

• UWF prices under more pressure but remain resilient;

• Evolution of EUR/USD remains key
