Q4 2019 – ADVERSE QUARTER

Tough market conditions, with continuous price pressure:

• Pulp price continued to decrease significantly, falling 14% QoQ

• Benchmark for paper price fell 2% QoQ

• Navigator pulp price decreased 9% and paper price -0.8%

In spite of adverse market conditions, Navigator pulp sales volume performed very positively, increasing 10% while paper volumes were stable

Group performance impacted by planned and unplanned stoppages, namely:

• Prolonged maintenance at Aveiro Tissue mill (22 days) reduced significantly volume sold (-20% Q4 vs Q3 2019);

• Global strike that occurred in November at Figueira da Foz, Setúbal and Vila de Velha de Ródão mills

Operational instability impact on costs and booking of fixed costs explain most of the negative QoQ EBITDA decline

Free Cash Flow improved due to better working capital management

RECAP ON THE PULP MARKET

• During Q4 2018, market pulp demand experienced a significant decrease, falling 1.7 million tons YoY. China accounted for 91% of this reduction and Europe followed 2/3 months later. With Chinese buyers reducing pulp purchases, 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 of price reduction in pulp prices; producers stocks continued to increase while buyers used a significant part of their own inventories

• From Q2 onward, demand for hardwood in China picked up, increasing 8% YTD Nov

• With production cuts (maintenance and market driven) from major pulp suppliers in Latin America and Asia during Q3 and Q4 and stronger demand, stocks decreased significantly during H2 2019 (but still remained above normal levels)

• Demand in Europe remained weak at year end and prices continued to decrease during Q4 2019

• Bottom of price cycle has been reached; benchmark for prices in Europe has been stable for some weeks and prices in China have slightly increased since the beginning of the year.

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 severe pipeline destocking; UWF continues to show the highest resilience among the major graphic papers;

Hardwood pulp prices seem to have stabilized in China and Europe

Several producers announced conversion / shutdowns of UWF in 2019 in Europe (-200 kton), US (-757 kton), partially offsetting new capacities entering the market; balance between new capacities and closures for 2018-2020 is estimated to be close to zero

Even though pix price avg. 2019 is still 3% above 2018 (903 € in 2019 vs 873 € in 2018), paper prices should remain under pressure (in the short term) especially in the USA and in some geographies and products in Europe

NAVIGATOR PAPER & PULP PERFORMANCE

PAPER PERFORMANCE

• UWF sales volume decreased 4.4% FY 2019 vs FY 2018, and remained flat from Q3 to Q4.

• Several events impacted UWF volumes (slower ramp-up of heavyweights production, strikes in Setúbal and Figueira da Foz and unplanned stoppages) but production was also managed by Navigator to match current market situation.

• Average price for FY 2019 was slightly above FY 2018 and average Q4 vs Q3 price adjusted mainly due to product mix

• Navigator paper sales turnover down 4% FY 2019 vs FY 2018 to € 1,198 million and remained flat at 293 million in Q4 vs Q3 2019.

PULP PERFORMANCE

• Production impacted by prolonged maintenance stoppages and strikes

• Market sales in volume increased 24% FY2019 vs FY2018 and 9.5% in Q4 vs Q3 2019, sustained by increased availability of pulp due to lower paper integration and increase in capacity completed in 2018

• Higher volumes partially offset decrease in prices: pulp turnover decreased 1.2% YoY and was flat Q4oQ3 2019

<< GROWTH IN THE TISSUE BUSINESS

• Sales turnover increased to € 132 million, representing a growth of 45% in 2019 vs 2018;

• Global volume of tissue sold increased to 96 kton (52% YoY), sustained by new capacity in Aveiro;

• Sales of finished products increased 22% to 75 ktons and reels increased 11x to 21 ktons; even though prices for both finished products and reels increased YoY;

• Average tissue price reflects mix effect of higher percentage of reels in global sales
