Direct Impact
About 3% of Brazil's MDP and MDF production is exported to the US, so the announced tariffs do not
generate a relevant impact in the short term for the panel sector.
Indirect Impact
Reduction in production from competitors more exposed to tariffs and demand from customers
producing MDP furniture exported to the U.S. - both without significant impact to Dexco.
Participation
In recent years, less than 1% of the Company's Consolidated Net Revenue came from products exported to the

Prospects
2nd halfExpected price increases and continued elevated demand in the panels market, with robust results sustaining the performance of the Wood Division;
Ramp-up of the unit at Botucatu should contribute to the upturn in manufacturing utilization and the dilution of costs in the Tiles Division during the semester;
Metals and Sanitary Ware Division should benefit from factory reorganization, with the potential to show
incremental improvements in efficiency and fixed cost dilution;
The LD Celulose operation has continued to perform well; with a scheduled maintenance shutdown and the more challenging external environment demanding attention, especially given the drop off in the price of dissolving wood pulp.
The macroeconomic environment continues to be challenging, with an increase in political and financial uncertainty. The Company has redoubled its focus on the external scenario and on the internal consumer dynamic;
Focus on restructuring projects related to deleveraging and efficiency, reinforcing the commitment to the
ongoing financial health of the business.
