About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals.

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on:

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Suzano Reports Operating Cash Generation of R$4.4 Billion in the Third Quarter of 2024

Suzano, the world’s largest pulp producer, announces its third quarter results for 2024 (3Q24) with operating cash generation reaching R$4.4 billion, up 132% on the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$6.5 billion, a 77% increase over 3Q23. Net revenue reached R$12.3 billion, the highest quarterly performance since 2022, and a rise of 37% on the same quarter last year.

The strong third quarter results were mainly driven by increased sales volume and higher average selling prices of exported products, with a favorable contribution from exchange rates. Pulp sales totaled 2.6 million tonnes, a rise of 6% on the same period last year. Paper sales reached 360,000 tonnes in the third quarter, a 9% increase over 3Q23.

The quarterly results also reflect the early positive contribution from the new mill in the municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo, Mato Grosso do Sul state, which commenced operations on July 21st 2024. The new mill ended the quarter at 80% of its production capacity (learning curve), significantly ahead of initial expectations to reach 71% capacity. Suzano’s overall cash cost of pulp production increased 4% in the third quarter to R$863 per tonne (excluding downtime).

Improved adjusted EBITDA in the last 12 months has led to an improvement in the company's leverage position with the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA in US dollars decreasing from 3.2 times at the end of 2Q24 to 3.1 times at the end of 3Q24. Similarly, these strong operational results and the positive financial result with the lower FX rate at the end of the period contributed to a net income of R$3.2 billion in the quarter.

During 3Q24, Suzano completed the acquisition of a 15% stake in the Austrian wood fibre company Lenzing for EUR230 million and forestry assets for R$2.1 billion. On October 1st, Suzano concluded the purchase from Pactiv Evergreen of two US-based mills in a transaction worth U$110 million.

Beto Abreu, CEO of Suzano, commented:

“The third quarter of this year has seen Suzano make substantial progress in a number of strategic areas. We are very excited about the initial performance of our new mill in Ribas do Rio Pardo, our sales volumes were strong, our leverage continued to improve, and we advanced our international growth with progressing our acquisitions in the USA and Austria. The progress this quarter reinforces our conviction that the company, which celebrated its 100th anniversary this year, is very well prepared for the future”.
