The third quarter of 2025 saw a slight slowdown in economic activity, in the face of continued high interest rates and ongoing uncertainty on the international stage. Global economic growth remained moderate, with the IMF revising its projection upwards to 3.3% for the year while warning of the risks of persistent inflation and trade tensions, especially after the imposition of new tariffs by the United States. In Brazil, inflation showed signs of cooling, with the IPCA reporting a 5.17% increase for the 12 months to September, still above the target ceiling. The Central Bank held the Selic at 15% per year, reinforcing its commitment to restore inflation to the target over the longer term.
Despite credit restrictions, the construction sector showed resilience, buttressed by two important trends: the increase in medium and high-end real estate launches (MAP), and the expansion of the Minha Casa, Minha Vida (MCMV) program. According to data from ABRAINC-FIPE, launches in the MCMV segment grew by 29.7% in units, while the MAP sector reported an increase of 5.5% in units. These numbers highlight the resilience of the construction sector and demand for building materials.
Despite the challenges related to the cost of credit, the tax burden, and the shortage of skilled labor, the labor market in the construction sector and furniture industry remains relatively stable, with an increase in tax-paying jobs supported by ongoing housing programs and infrastructure investment. The environment remains challenging, however, demanding constant attention to macroeconomic variables and public policies that directly impact the markets in which the Company operates.
Against this backdrop, we will report our analysis by business division. In the Tiles Division, the sector scenario remains challenging, with (i) idle manufacturing capacity levels close to 25%, (ii) a drop off in production volumes, (iii) a decrease in market prices, and (iv) high inventory levels, despite a marginal increase in sales volumes, according to data from ANFACER (National Association of Ceramic Coating Manufacturers).
For the Metals & Sanitary Ware Division, data from ASFAMAS (Brazilian Association of Sanitary Ware Manufacturers) along with internal market analyses carried out by the Company, show the sanitary ware and metal fittings market to be strong, particularly in the sanitary ware segment (which has year-to-date growth of 7% versus the same quarter of the prior year) arising from the inventory levels in the construction sector cited above.
According to Ibá (the Brazilian Tree Industry), the panels market continued to report solid fundamentals for 3Q25, with high capacity utilization and growth of 1.0% quarter on quarter. Against this backdrop, Dexco has continued to deliver a solid performance in the Wood Division, driven not only by the construction sector but also by the furniture industry. Although the furniture industry has faced challenges, production and capacity utilization remain at high levels, especially for planned and customized furniture, which continue to attract consumers and drive consumption of MDF and MDP.
Despite the unique characteristics of each business, Dexco remains alert to opportunities for efficiency gains, with a focus on the profitability of the portfolio and optimization of the manufacturing facilities. The performance in the third quarter, coupled with still positive macroeconomic indicators, suggest more favorable tailwinds in the rest of 2025, supported by operational discipline and a focus on value creation.
Financial Headlines Net RevenueFor 3Q25, Consolidated Net Revenue totaled R$2,128.0 million, a 50% decrease versus 3Q24, reflecting the highly competitive environment and pressure on prices and volumes in the markets in which Dexco operates, across all the divisions. However, these challenges were partially offset by ongoing initiatives to enhance the product mix by focusing on higher value-added products in the Wood and Metals & Sanitary Ware Divisions, which reported an increase in Unit Net Revenue of 1.9% and 19.8% year-on-year, respectively. For the Wood Division, growth was boosted by strong demand from the furniture industry, which contributed to high utilization levels during the quarter, especially for MDP panels, which offset the absence of the Net Revenue of forestry trading.
On a quarterly comparison, Net Revenue remained stable (0.3% vs. 2Q25) despite the challenging macroeconomic scenario, which put pressure on demand for the basket of items in the Company's portfolio. This performance, which also boosted market share, coupled with initiatives aimed at delivering

efficiency gains and operational improvements in the Metals and Sanitary Ware Division, offset the 1.3% and 3.6% drop in performance, respectively, in the Wood and Ceramic Tiles Divisions.
Year to date, Consolidated Net Revenue totaled R$6,152.2 million, stable versus the same period of the prior year (-0.3% vs. 9M24). This result validates the initiatives related to price repositioning and prioritizing a richer product mix, strategies that are very important to maintaining the Company's lead in a highly competitive environment. The Wood Division, which grew 2.7% over the period and was the main driver of the Company's results, offset the drop-off in the Finishings Division. Finally, Net Revenue arising from the foreign market grew 4.4% year to date versus the same period the prior year, demonstrating Dexco's ability to gain market share in Latin America even in a scenario of high exchange rate volatility.
Effect of Change to the Fair Value of Biological Assets and Depletion
Faced with fluctuations in the price of timber over recent years, Dexco periodically adjusts the value of its biological assets to capture this market dynamic. The calculation of the value of biological assets considers the price of the transactions made by the Company and in the market related to the levels of demand for timber - considering the increased demand and high volumes in existing projects - as well as the productivity of the forests.
In 3Q25, the Change to the Fair Value of Biological Assets saw an increase totaling R$6.1 million, a lower level than that reported for 3Q24 and 2Q25, due to a smaller volume of fair value adjustments over the period. Year to date, 9M25, the 75.3% fall in value reflects an exceptional base comparison in 2024, when significant adjustments were reported after updating the pricing parameters for the biological asset. This
trend indicates the stabilization of wood prices at a higher level, with less impact from the revaluation of forestry assets in 3Q25.
The depletion of biological assets, which reports the consumption of the forestry asset through use, fell 27.3% year on year and 49.6% quarter on quarter, tracking the operational dynamic of the Wood Division and efficiency in forestry management.
Cost of Goods SoldThe Pro-Forma Cash Cost - which represents the Cost of Goods Sold net of depreciation, amortization, depletion and changes to biological assets - totaled R$1,335.8 million for 3Q25, a 2.7% reduction versus 3Q24, but a 3.1% increase versus 2Q25. The year-on-year improvement reflects structural efficiency gains arising from factory restructuring initiatives and increased productivity, which contributed to a more competitive cost structure, especially in the Metals and Sanitary Ware Division. The result was also boosted by a reduction in exchange rate pressures for dollar-denominated inputs. The quarterly increase, in turn, relates to lower dilution of fixed costs from the production of wood panels, due to the absence of forestry trading over the quarter, which was partially offset by the operating gains in other divisions.
As a proportion of Net Revenue, Pro-Forma COGS came in at 62.8% for 3Q25, an uptick of 1.5% versus 3Q24, a function of the drop in Net Revenue over the period.
Year-to-date, Pro-Forma COGS totaled R$3,833.6 million, an increase of 1.9% versus 9M24, which reflects the effect of the currency devaluation on dollar-denominated inputs during the first half of the year and the initiatives to enhance the mix of higher value-added products.
As a result, Pro-Forma Gross Income totaled R$530.7 million for 3Q25, at a margin of 24.9%, a drop of 7.7% versus 3Q24, a period when the base comparison base was boosted by a positive adjustment to the fair value of biological assets. For the first nine months of 2025, Pro-Forma Gross Income totaled R$1.5 billion, a 24.8% fall versus 9M24. This decrease was also impacted by the strong base comparison, and by the effects of the greater forestry harvesting needed to meet demand for panels, and by forestry trading that occurred in the prior year, which impacted depletion.

Pro-forma gross income / Pro-forma consolidated net revenue.
Pro-Forma Sales Expenses totaled R$2,840 million for 3Q25, a 14.1% reduction versus the prior year, with a positive impact across all Divisions. The decrease is against a high base comparison for 3Q24, when greater investment was made in advertising, sales activities, and enhancing points of sale, especially in the Finishings Division, which focused initiatives on building the brand and diversifying channels. Versus 2Q25, the reduction also reflects a concentration of sales initiatives in the first half of the year, with participation in Casacor and the advance of Casa Dexco's operations, which aims for the Company to get closer to the end consumer and establish its presence in retail.
Sales Expenses represented 13.3% of Net Revenue for 3Q25, a drop of 1.4 p.p. versus 3Q24 and of 1.1
p.p. versus 2Q25.
Year to date, pro-forma sales expenses totaled R$880.2 million, an increase of 2.7% versus 9M24, on the back of enhanced brand promotional activities.

EBITDADexco's Consolidated Adjusted & Recurring EBITDA totaled R$445 million for 3Q25, a 3.2% decrease versus 3Q24 but a 0.5% increase versus the prior quarter.
This result came on the back of a strong performance by the Wood and Metals & San Ware Divisions. The Wood Division had a strong quarter, especially given the lack of forestry trading in its results, with an excellent performance in wood panels, a sector still experiencing strong demand. The Metals & San Ware division also performed well, with efficiency gains arising from factory reorganization, a richer product mix, and the capture of price increases in a competitive market environment. Dexco's main challenge remains the Tiles Division in delivering consistent EBITDA growth in the quarters ahead.
Year to date, 9M25, the accumulated Adjusted & Recurring EBITDA totaled R$1,233.3 million, a fall of 3.5% versus the same period in 2024, with a margin of 200% (-0.7 p.p.), reflecting the challenges the Tiles Division is still facing.
Using the equity equivalence accounting methodology, with 49.0% of the results from LD Celulose, Dexco's Pro-forma Adjusted & Recurring EBITDA was R$566.5 million for the quarter, of which R$121.5 million represents Dexco's share in LD Celulose.
The table below shows the reconciliation of EBITDA, in accordance with CVM Instruction 156/22. From this result, and in order to better convey the Company's potential operating cash generation, two adjustments have been made: the exclusion from EBITDA of events of an accounting and non-cash nature, and the disregard of events of an extraordinary nature. Thus, in line with best practices, we present below the calculation of the indicator that best reflects the Company's cash generation potential.
(1) One-off events detailed in the addendum to this report;
(2) Includes Dexco's share of LD Celulose.
Financial ResultsThe financial result for 3Q25 was negative R$-2,130 million, a 70.8% drop-off versus 3Q24, with the macroeconomic scenario still a challenge. Over the period, base interest rates increased and remained at an elevated level, with few signs of normalizing, putting pressure on the cost of capital and the Company's financial expenses.
This ongoing situation led to a 50.4% annual increase in financial expenses for 3Q25, reflecting the level of corporate debt as well as the charges levied on financial obligations. The reduced average cash position versus 3Q24 also reduced the income from financial investment, limiting the offsetting punctual effect of interest on PIS/COFINS tax credits on the quarter.
However, the Company continues to efficiently manage its financial liabilities. The average cost ended the quarter at 107.6% of CDI, slightly up on the 107.1% reported for 2Q25, reflecting adjustment to the future interest rate curve. At the end of 3Q25, 99.6% of exposure was indexed to the CDI.
On a pro-forma basis, the net financial result was negative R$-241.9 million, Excluding the impact of non-recurring events, such as the recognition of interest related to the gross-up of ICMS in the PIS/COFINS tax base, totaling R$28.9 million.
(1) One-off events re Financial revenue: 3Q25: Interest on INSS on base PIS COFINS (+) 28,907k; : 2Q25: Interest on INSS on base PIS COFINS (+) 26,476k; 1Q24: Interest on INSS on base PIS COFINS without IR CS (-) R$3,997k, Interest on INSS on base PIS COFINS (+) R$3,603k;
Net IncomeNet income for 3Q25 totaled R$14.2 million, driven by the sale of the Manizales site and income related to interest on the ICMS gross-up in the PIS/COFINS tax base. Excluding these non-recurring effects, recurring net income reached a loss of R$42.8 million in the quarter, resulting in a recurring ROE of -2.4%. The performance reflects, in addition to a particularly strong comparison base in 3Q24, higher financial expenses and lower contribution from LD Celulose's results.
In the year-to-date period, recurring net income totaled R$71.0 million, a decrease of 75.1% compared to the same period in 2024, mainly explained by the previously mentioned one-off events that affected 3Q24 performance, particularly those related to the fair value adjustment of biological assets.

(2) Includes Dexco's share of LD Celulose.
Cash FlowIn 3Q25, Dexco reported Sustaining Free Cash Flow generation of R$81.6 million, a decrease of 64.8% compared to 3Q24. This decline mainly reflects higher working capital requirements, which consumed R$101.1 million in the quarter due to the increase in inventory levels and the temporary interruption of the supplier financing program, following adjustments made in 2Q25. In addition, the high-interest rate environment continued to pressure financial expenses, resulting in negative financial cash flow of R$67.8 million - an increase compared to the same period last year.
These combined factors limited EBITDA-to-cash conversion, with the Cash Conversion Ratio closing the quarter at 18.35%, a 5.4 p.p.
(1)3Q25: Forestry Expansion (-) R$7.9 million, Productivity Projects, Deca automation and New Tiles Factory (-) R$22.9 million, DX Ventures and other projects (-) R$5.3 million, 2Q25: Forestry Expansion (-) R$9.1 million, Productivity Projects and Deca automation and New Tiles Factory (-) R$14.8 million, DX Ventures and other projects (-) R$82.2 million. 1Q25: Forestry expansion (-) R$7.6 million, Productivity Projects, Deca automation and New Tiles Factory (-) R$43.1 million, DX Ventures and other projects (-) R$109.8 million; 1Q24: Forestry expansion (-) R$6.7 million, Productivity Projects, Deca automation and New Tiles Factory (-) R$87.1 million, DX Ventures and other projects: (-) R$41.7 million, LD Celulose (-) R$84.9 million.
(2) Cash Conversion Ratio: Sustaining Cash Flow / Adjusted & Recurring EBITDA.
Corporate DebtThe Company closed out 3Q25 with consolidated gross debt of R$7,091.8 million, a drop of R$275.6 million versus 3Q24, but an increase of R$130.9 million versus 2Q25, driven by adjustments to financial instruments and specific working capital needs. Net debt totaled R$5,585.1 million, an increase of R$85.8 million for the quarter, which mainly reflects the end of the 2021-2025 investment cycle, an element that does not relate to operations. The final disbursements for these projects still impacted the cash position in the period, although less so than in the previous quarter.
The financial leverage ratio, measured by Net Debt/Adjusted & Recurring EBITDA, stood at 3.48x, slightly up on the previous quarter (3.39x) and 3Q24 (3.10x), following the increase in net debt and the moderate level of cash generation from operations. This leverage level, however, remains in line with the Company's plan, with several fronts and programs in place to reduce current levels of financial leverage.
The average cost of financing was 107.6% of CDI, an uptick of 0.5 p.p. over 2Q25, reflecting the ongoing high interest rate scenario, which impacts the future interest rate curve. The average debt maturity was 40 years, with 73% of the balance concentrated in the long term, which ensures a balanced amortization profile over the short term.
On October 24, 2025, the Company completed the issue of debentures to the value of R$1.5 billion, an operation aimed at debt restructuring, reduction in the average cost and the extension of maturity dates, as per the Market Announcement released on October 2. The accounting effects of this issue are not reflected in the 3Q25 financial statements. In addition, the revolving credit line was renewed at R$750 million, boosting liquidity and offering the financial flexibility to support the operating cycle.
These initiatives reinforce the liability management strategy, ensuring greater predictability to the amortization schedule and mitigating the risks arising from a scenario of high interest rates.

Strategic Management and InvestmentThe Company's Sustaining CAPEX totaled R$214.4 million for 3Q25, an increase fall of 22.1% versus the same period of the prior year. For the year, however, the result reflects the progress made with forestry investment, which totaled R$147.3 million, and the ongoing factory maintenance, at R$67.1 million.
Year to date, sustaining CAPEX totaled R$581.3 million, a reduction of R$20,0 million, equivalent to 3.3% annually, reflecting the allocation of resources for maintaining operations.

According to data from Ibá - Brazilian Tree Industry, the panels market retained healthy fundamentals during 3Q25, with high levels of factory utilization. The sector saw 10% growth over 3Q24, and year-to-date growth of 10%. This performance reflects the ongoing strong demand in the domestic market, especially for MDP for the furniture industry. Exports, however, continue to fall, declining 50% for the quarter and 70% year-to-date, reflecting the uncertain international scenario and redirection of demand to the domestic market.
Dexco's Wood Division closed out 3Q25 with 7,930k m³ shipped, a 4.8% downturn versus the same period in 2024, explained by the high base comparison for 3Q24, which saw high level of sales following flooding in Rio Grande do Sul state and growth in the retail sector from 2Q24 onwards. Year to date, 2,265.2k m³ was shipped, a 3.3% drop off versus 9M24. Despite the reduction in volume, capacity utilization remained high (94%), reinforcing the program to boost the profitability of operations.
Net Revenue totaled R$1,413.9 million for the quarter, a 3.1% decrease versus 3Q24. The richer product mix and the capture of

The Unit Cash Cost was R$1,051/m³ for the quarter, a 5.9% uptick versus 3Q24, but 20% lower than for 2Q25, which reflects the easing of cost pressures on manufacturing inputs on a quarterly comparison. However, the year-to-date figure deteriorated 11.1% versus the same period in the prior year, on the back of having a higher added value product mix, which, in turn, drives up production costs. This performance reinforces the operating resilience of the Division, which, even in a scenario of pressure on inputs in the first half of the year and strong competition, maintained high levels of factory utilization, thus ensuring the dilution of fixed costs and maintaining profitability.
Sales expenses fell by 14.5% versus 3Q24 and by 4.0% versus 2Q25, reflecting lower spending on sales and marketing activities. Pro-forma General & Admin expenses dropped 7.9% for the quarter and 16.3% for the year. .
Against this backdrop, the Division's Adjusted & Recurring EBITDA totaled R$394.2 million for 3Q25, with a margin of
27.9%, highlighting the Division's operating solidity and resilience, sustained exclusively by the sale of wood panels, with no contributions from forestry trading. Year to date, EBITDA totaled R$1,1720 million, with a margin of 28.4%, essentially in line with 9M24. This performance reflects a combination of a market facing strong demand, high capacity utilization, and a strategy for profitability based on product mix and in addition to room for price adjustments, even in a highly competitive environment.

WOOD PULP
DISSOLVING
Dissolving Wood Pulp
LD Celulose maintained its consistent operating performance in 3Q25, even with the sector facing a more competitive global economic scenario, with a drop off in dissolving wood pulp prices versus 3Q24 and the scheduled maintenance shutdown, which caused a temporary hit to production. Combined, these factors led to a 10.5% fall in Net Revenue year-on-year. It should be noted that, in 2024, the maintenance shutdown took place in the first quarter, which impacts the base comparison.
Year to date, the trajectory of the joint venture's solid operating performance is clear, with high levels of productivity and a 60% increase in volumes shipped, with an 18.6% increase in Net Revenue for 9M25. The factory supported by the maturing of the plant's productivity contributed to efficiency gains in fixed costs and greater operational scale, reinforcing competitiveness.
LD Celulose's performance in 3Q25 maintained the profit, with an Adjusted & Recurring EBITDA of R$248 million and margin of 37.8%, impacted temporarily by a lower dilution of fixed costs arising from the maintenance shutdown.

The construction sector, to which Dexco's Metals & Sanitary Ware businesses are directly linked, showed signs of recovery in 3Q25, according to ASFAMAS data and internal company analyses. The Metals market shrank 7% versus 3Q24, but grew 2% on a quarterly comparison, reflecting an adjustment following the growth cycle seen in 2024, indicating a gradual recovery. For the Sanitary Ware segment, the scenario was positive, with 5% growth year-on-year, and a 2% increase over the prior quarter, driven by a resilient demand, even given a more competitive environment.
The Metals & San Ware Division reported volumes shipped of 4,259,000 pieces for 3Q25, a decline of 22.2% versus 3Q24 and of 3.8% versus 2Q25. While this performance reflects the portfolio review in focusing on a richer product mix, the base comparison was impacted by the sale of the electric shower operation in September 2025. Discounting this effect, volumes remained in line with the market on the quarterly comparison. Year to date, 12,678,000 pieces were shipped, a drop of 18.3% versus to 9M24, attributable to the same factors.

Recurring Net Revenue totaled R$5,070 million for the quarter, a drop of 6.8% versus 3Q24, but an increase of 6.9% versus 2Q25, boosted by the richer product mix and the capture of price increases over the period. Year to date, net revenue totaled R$1,397.0 million, a 5.1% decline versus 9M24. Unit Net Revenue improved 19.8% for the quarter and 17.3% year-to-date, reflecting the implementation of price increases and the richer product mix. These changes, coupled with the capture of opportunities in the premium segments, led to gains in market share, reinforcing the Company's leadership position in a highly competitive environment.
The Pro-Forma Unit Cash Cost increased versus all base comparisons: +21.5% versus 3Q24, +7.8% versus the prior quarter, and +18.7% year-to-date. This change mainly reflects the lower dilution of fixed costs arising from the reduced volumes for the quarter and, year-to-date, the effects of the factory reorganization implemented in the first half of 2025, which had an impact on all the base comparisons listed above.

consumer environment that is still price-sensitive and dogged by excess capacity and high inventory levels. Year to date, revenue for the Division totaled R$622.1 million, a fall of 7.6% versus 9M24.
The Pro-Forma Unit Cash Cost came in at R$35.70/m², flat versus 3Q24, but 3.5% up on 2Q25, impacted by a lower dilution of fixed costs. Although inventory pressures limited operational efficiency, the cost fell by 5.2% for 9M25.

Sales expenses totaled R$46.3 million, a fall of 10.4% versus 3Q24, and in line with the prior quarter. Year-to-date, sales expenses rose by 1.8%, a result of initiatives focused on growing sales and strengthening the brand positioning¹, such as participation in the Expo Revestir event and the launch of retail operations in the form of Casa Dexco. Pro-forma General & Admin expenses fell 18.4% for the quarter and 30.8% on a sequential comparison, but increased year-on-year, due to the structuring of support areas for the new manufacturing operation.
Adjusted & Recurring EBITDA came in at negative R$-1.3 million for the quarter, with a margin of -0.6%. Year to date, the total was R$-7.6 million, in contrast to the positive R$10.4 million reported for 9M24. Profitability remains under pressure from a combination of lower volumes shipped, depressed prices, and the lower dilution of fixed costs, which directly reflects the competitive sector environment and ongoing excess inventory levels. Given this scenario, the Company has intensified its sales and portfolio repositioning strategy, with a focus on higher value-added products and manufacturing
reorganization. These initiatives are fundamental not only to alleviating the pressure on Dexco's position in a low value-added market, but also to creating the foundations for a gradual return to profitability in the cycles ahead.
