Navigator’s mills are very well positioned in the cash cost curve

Partial/Non Integrated

Changes in demand might accelerate closures from less efficient (and smaller) players and conversions to other types of products

NVG estimates that roughly:

• 2.5 M tons with cash costs above 550 €/ton (38% of European capacity*)

• During Q2 many paper machines reduced production and YTD August operating rates in the European industry stand at 75% (NVG OR- 80%)

MOZAMBIQUE PROJECT UPDATE

• Navigator has been working with the Mozambique Government under the terms of the MoU signed in 2018, in particular on infrastructures and logistics and land and development issues.

• This has included the first Outgrower Support program in Mozambique, a government initiative funded by the World Bank, with the aim to promote small and medium scale sustainable commercial private forestry plantations, and restoration of degraded areas. In the first 2019-2020 season, plantations were established over an area of approximately 550 hectares and 1200 hectares are estimated for the next season 2020-2021.

• Portucel Moçambique (PM) played an active role providing wide-range support by designing the silviculture model, supplying clonal plants and offering access to fertilizers. When the plantations are ready for harvest, PM will have first option on purchase of the wood.

• The Government of Mozambique referred the strategic importance to the country and to the Zambéziaprovince of building the port of Macuse, in order to develop commercial farming and forestry.

Increase in pulp and tissue volume and significant improvement in production costs (variable & fixed) mitigated sales and price drops

EBITDA reached € 210 million with a margin EBITDA / Sales above 20%
