1.1. Crushing

The following table shows crushing volume on a consolidated basis and by cluster:

Efficiency	9M21	9M20	%
Crushing ('000 tons)	25,785	25,902	-0.5%
Own Third Parties	15,002 10,782	15,768 10,134	-4.9% 6.4%
Ribeirão Preto Norte Cluster	4,895	5,012	-2.3%
Ribeirão Preto Sul Cluster	14,631	14,533	0.7%
Mato Grosso do Sul Cluster	6,259	6,357	-1.5%

The Company reached total crushing volume of approximately 25.8 million tons in 9M21, stable compared to the previous crop, due to the improved operational performance and favorable (drier) weather conditions during the harvest period (April to September) and higher yield measured by TCH (+2.9%) at the Ribeirão Preto Sul and Mato Grosso do Sul Clusters, partially offset by the frost mitigation strategy at the Mato Grosso do Sul Cluster.

At the Ribeirão Preto Norte Cluster, crushing volume was 4.9 million tons, 2.3% lower than 9M20, mainly due to the drier weather conditions during the plantation period.

At the Ribeirão Preto Sul Cluster, crushing volume was 14.6 million tons, 0.7% higher than 9M20, mainly supported by the improved operational performance, climate conditions and 4.3% increase in TCH.

At the Mato Grosso do Sul Cluster, crushing volume was 6.3 million tons, 1.5% lower than 9M20, reflecting the Company's strategy to mitigate the effects from the frost that affected the region in the previous and current crops (accelerating harvest and crushing operations as from the second quarter ofthe previous crop to mitigate impacts on sucrose quality and accumulation).

1.2. Tons of Cane per Hectare (TCH)

The following table shows the evolution in TCH on a consolidated basis and by cluster:

Productivity	9M21	9M20	%
TCH - Agricultural yield (ton/ha)	85.7	83.3	2.9%

Ribeirão Preto Sul Cluster	89.5	85.9	4.3%
Mato Grosso do Sul Cluster	81.3	77.5	4.9%

Cane yield measured by consolidated TCH reached 85.7 ton/ha in 9M21, historical record for the period, 2.9% higher than the same period of the previous crop, which is basically explained by the application of best agronomic practices in crop regeneration to the sugar plantations, in addition to the favorable weather conditions (rainy season) during the field development period (January to March).

The 3.7% decrease in TCH at the Ribeirão Preto Norte Cluster resulted from the drier weather conditions during the plantation period in the previous crop.

1.3. Product Total Recoverable Sugar (TRS)

The following table shows the evolution of Product TRS and by cluster:

Productivity	9M21	9M20	%
Product TRS (Kg TRS/ton)	142.4	130.5	9.1%
Ribeirão Preto Norte Cluster	147.6	139.2	6.1%
Ribeirão Preto Sul Cluster	143.9	132.3	8.7%
Mato Grosso do Sul Cluster	134.8	119.7	12.7%

Product TRS content was 142.4 kg TRS/ton in 9M21, historical record for the period, an increase of 9.1% compared to 9M20, which reflects the continuous impacts of the evolution of the phytosanitary quality of the sugarcane crop, the quality of the harvesting processes, the intensive use of ripening agents and organic fertilization, among others, an improved operational performance and favorable (drier) weather conditions during the harvest, which favors concentration of sugar content.

Industrial efficiency reached 1.031 in 9M21, an increase of 2.0% compared to 9M20, historical record for the period. The results demonstrate the higher efficiency in converting cane into the final products of sugar and ethanol, as well as the lower losses in production processes. Industrial efficiency is calculated based on the volume of TRS produced by the mills.

Total production in tons of Product TRS was 3,680 thousand tons, historical record for the period, an increase of 8.3% compared to 9M20, mainly due to the evolution of the sugarcane crop and industrial efficiency gains.

Sugar mix was 53.4%, historical record for the period, due to the higher allocation of TRS to sugar production, given the product's higher profitability in the period compared to ethanol, an increase of 18.0

p.p. compared to the same period of the previous crop, which was more focused on ethanol.

Ethanol mix was 46.6%, as a result of company's strategy to optimize sales by prioritizing products thatcapture higher value added, 18.0 p.p. lower than the same period of last crop. The anhydrous mix (over the total ethanol produced) was 31.7% in 9M21, 1.6 p.p. higher than 9M20.

1.4. Cogeneration

The following table presents productivity and cogeneration volume for sale:

Production	9M21	9M20	%

Ribeirão Preto Norte Cluster	43.3	39.9	8.6%
Ribeirão Preto Sul Cluster	25.7	26.2	-1.7%
Mato Grosso do Sul Cluster	50.6	47.1	7.5%

The Company has cogeneration power plants at all its eight industrial sites and is energy self-sufficient during the harvesting period. Out of these units, seven produce surplus electricity for sale.

Total cogeneration for sale in 9M21 increased by 2.4% compared to 9M20 and reached a volume of 800.1 GWh.

The productivity of cogeneration units measured in kWh of power sold per ton of cane crushed stood at 34.2 kWh/ton in 9M21, an increase of 2.7% compared to 9M20. These results reflect the higher total crushing volume and the Company's strategy to optimize sales by prioritizing products and periods that generate higher added value.

2. ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

2.1. Net Revenue

Net revenue excluding the non-cash effects from the hedge accounting of foreign currency-denominated debt (HACC) amounted to R$8.6 billion, an increase of 74.6% compared to 9M20. The result is primarily explained by the growth in export volumes and average prices, the higher industrial efficiency in sugarcane conversion and the revenues from export performance contracts associated with the rollover of foreign currency-denominated debt obligations, with these factors partially offset by the decrease in ethanol import volumes and by the fact that previous crop included revenue from the Nordeste Cluster. Note that, excluding the revenue from the Nordeste Cluster in the previous crop to improve the comparison with the current crop, net revenue would be 74.8% higher than in 9M20.

Excluding the effects from resale operations (of finished products, such as (i) sugar, ethanol and energy; and (ii) other commodities, which are required to comply with export performance contracts associated with obligations denominated in foreign currency), the Company's net revenue was R$4.4 billion, an increase of 34.2% compared to 9M20, mainly due to the growth in export volumes and average prices, as well as the higher industrial efficiency in sugarcane conversion, partially offset by the decrease in ethanol import volumes and by the fact that previous crop included revenue from the Nordeste Cluster. Note that, excluding the revenue from the Nordeste Cluster in the previous crop to improve the comparison with the current crop, net revenue would be 34.4% higher than in 9M20.

The following table presents a breakdown of net revenue ex-HACC:

The Company invested R$828.0 million, an increase of 9.0% compared to 9M20, due to the increase in non-recurring disbursements associated with the strategy of making the agro industrial operation more productive and profitable.

The investments were focused on the agricultural sector and are mainly non-recurring investments performed on an annual basis, relating to the increased plantation volume and cultivated area in the period compared to the past crop, impacted by the FX variation in the input costs and the non-recurring investments in industrial improvement in connection with the Company's strategy to optimize sales by prioritizing products that capture higher value added.

Capex (R$ Thousand)	9M21	9M20	%

5. DEBT

The Company's gross debt totaled R$6.9 billion as at December 31, 2020, an increase of 17.1% compared to December 31, 2019, mainly due to the effect from the 28.9% depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar on the dollar-denominated portion of its debt.

The balance of cash and short-term investments totaled R$612 million, out of which 55.1% was denominated in U.S. dollar. This variation reflects the Company's strategy to optimize sales by prioritizing products and periods that capture higher value added.

In view of the aforementioned factors, net debt totaled R$6.3 billion, an increase of 11.8% compared to the position as at December 31, 2019.

The following table presents a breakdown of the debt position:

Debt (R$ Million)	12/31/2020	12/31/2019	Var. %
