Transaction at-a-glance
Key merits of the transaction
Klabin is acquiring 150k ha of land, of which 85k ha productive, mainly in Paraná(1) and 31.5mm tons of wood(2) for US$1,160mm(3) from Arauco
Transaction is expected to deliver a real unleveraged IRR of ~13%, with a net present value of ~R$2bn
Caetê provides Capex avoidance, mainly from third-party wood acquisition, and cash cost synergies, mainly from logistics and harvest costs
After the 1st harvest cycle, Klabin would exceed its self-sufficiency target of 75% of own wood on productive ~60k ha that can be monetized either via land sale or joint venture with financial investors
Klabin will use resources already in cash for payment. Company will remain with a solid cash position and a long debt profile
Notes: (1) A small portion of Caetê's area is located in the states of Santa Catarina and São Paulo. (2) Expected harvest volume of Caetê's assets assuming a standard forest rotation of 7 and 15 years for eucalyptus and pine. (3) The acquisition value considers net debt and working capital of zero subject to possible adjustments in the total value of the transaction under the terms of the contract.

Caetê Purchase Price
Calculated with current market prices(2) for wood purchase in Paraná and discounted to net present value
It represents an anticipation of
third-party wood purchase for Puma
- (PM27 and PM28), and reduces the expected CapEx for Klabin
Value attributed to the land calculated as the difference between Caetê's purchase price minus the wood implied value
Implicit land purchase price of R$33k/ha, which is below market prices in Paraná(4)
Note: (1) Considers USD/BRL FX rate of 5.00. (2) According to 2Q23 Pöyry's report. (3) Considering company assumptions. (4) Further details on Appendix.
