* Depending on conditions defined in the MoU

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 1250 hectares are estimated for the next season 2020-2021, in a total of circa 1 800 hectares.

• 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.

• In 2020 wood harvesting operations have started on Portucel Moçambique's plantations in Manica, for export through the Port of Beira. Three shiploads are currently planned for delivery in 2021, representing approximately 100,000 m3 of wood.

<<MANAGEMENT PRIORITIES

• With the new lockdowns implemented in Q1, paper demand evolved in line with Q4 2020; market pulp conditions improved significantly with prices in China increasing 46% (+35% in Europe in Euros);

• Navigator concentrated larger maintenance stoppages during Q1, for both pulp and paper mills, impacting output of pulp, paper and energy;

• With very low stocks levels of pulp and paper, sales volumes for paper decreased to 336 ktons (-2% QoQ; -8% YoY) while pulp sales registered a reduction to 79 ktons (-19% QoQ; -5% YoY); tissue volumes remained positive with sales increasing to 27 ktons (+1% QoQ; +4% YoY);

• Turnover stable vs previous quarter, at € 341 million, reflecting a 16% YoY reduction, explained by the lower pulp and paper volumes and paper price evolution – A4-Bcopy index declined 6.4% YoY;

• EBITDA totaling € 71 million (-6% QoQ; -20% YoY) with a relevant 16% quarterly reduction in fixed costs; EBITDA/Sales margin reached 21%;

• Strong FCF generation of € 56 million vs € 15 million in Q1 2020, and last 12 months FCF was € 275 million (highest figure since 2013). Significant reduction of Net Debt to € 624 million (vs € 800 million in Q1 2020), which allowed a comfortable Net Debt/ EBITDA ratio of 2.33X;

• After a wide ranging stakeholder assessment, Navigator launched a new Sustainability agenda for 2030, aimed at Creating Value in a Sustainable Way.

PAPER PERFORMANCE in Q1

• UWF sales volume decreased 2% in Q1, comparing with previous quarter, to 335 ktons;

• Average selling price impacted by product and market mixes and heavily penalised by the evolution of exchangerates in international markets;

• Paper turnover was stable versus Q4 2020 and declined 18.5% versus Q1 2020;

• Navigator´s order book at the end of the quarter was a robust 57 days, growing 60% over the quarter. Thiscompares well with the 30 days level of its competitors and the circa 40 days registered in Q1 2020;

• Navigator stock level dropped to a level of around 13 days by the end of March, as compared to an average 31days of its competitors, thanks to a careful management of working capital and a good start of the year in termsof demand.

PULP PERFORMANCE in Q1

• Pulp available for sale restrained by anticipated production shutdowns, and low inventories at the beginning ofthe year: total volume amounted to 79 ktons (-5.5% YoY; -18.6% QoQ);

• The recovery in pulp prices since the start of the year helped mitigate the decline in sales volumes, allowing totalsales value 2.1% above the registered in Q1 2020 but reflecting a decline of 6.4% QoQ.

<<NAVIGATOR PAPER & PULP PERFORMANCE

50

• Sales turnover was in line with the same period in 2020 and reflected an increase of 3% when compared withQ4 2020;

• Average selling price was 4% below the registered in Q1 2020, mainly due to a higher weight of reels in thesales mix; sale price for finished products evolved positively;

• Global volume of tissue sold of 27 ktons (+4% YoY), sustained by very strong sales in At-Home products.

PULP PAPER

• After sharp price increases sincethe start of the year, prices inChina are stabilizing with theweaker seasonality in July/August;as pulp markets remain tight, mostanalysts estimate that pricesshould remain at high levels

• In Europe, prices will follow (witha lag) the trend ocurring in China

54

TISSUE

• Increase in raw materials, energyand logistics are driving pressureon producers’ margins;

• Navigator announced a 6%-8%price increment on tissue products,with a number of other producersalso announcing price increases forthe second quarter. Such increasesare currently under way;

• Demand for tissue should evolvepositively, namely in AfH; NVG willcontinue its growth in the tissuebusiness.

OUTLOOK FOR 2021

• Capacity exits and conversions in the US andin Europe are creating a positive pressure onthe balance between demand and supply;

• Raw materials, energy and logistics at highlevels in all regions, as well as high operatingrates sustain the progressive implementationof paper price increases in H2;

• Restrictions as high maritime freight costsand delays in the logistics chain are reducingthe presence of non-European competitors inEurope and some of Navigator’s overseas keymarkets.

<<

With the economy recovering and the vaccination plan being implemented, pulp, paper and tissue market conditions are expected to remain globally positive.

55

SOLID PERSPECTIVES FOR THE INDUSTRY

<<

Fundamentals for pulp, paper and tissue remain solid:

• In pulp, producer inventories remain low and demand strong; new capacity arriving over the next few years should be absorbed by demand growth, as end uses for pulp (tissue, packaging, specialties) continue to grow; BHKP has been gaining relevance over BSKP;

• Paper fundamentals remain healthy, with P&W demand picking up this year and tissue demand increasing 3% globally; paper producers have been adjusting to reduction in paper demand, reducing supply either by conversions or shut downs;

• The long-term outlook remains positive given macro trends, such as the substitution of single-use plastics for paper/pulp products.

Integrated players like Navigator, with forest, pulp, paper, tissue and energy, are in a stronger position to face the industry´s cyclicality and continue to deliver solid returns. Navigator’s efficient cost management, focus on its investment plan and sustainability projects to face new challenges and opportunities, as well as the 2030 Agenda commitment to a responsible business management, are key for the company’s success over the next decade
