Central Puerto Earnings Call Transcripts

Fiscal Year 2026

  • Transcript

    Adjusted EBITDA surged 136% year-on-year to $145M, with revenues up 166% to $453M, driven by higher contracted and spot sales. Battery storage projects are on track for Q4 2026 operation, and leverage remains low at 1.2x. Growth opportunities span new capacity schemes and energy infrastructure.

  • Strong revenue and EBITDA growth in 1Q 2026 was driven by new assets, market normalization, and successful contracting. The company expanded into oil and gas, renewed key concessions, and maintained a solid balance sheet, with further growth expected as market liberalization continues.

Fiscal Year 2025

  • 2025 delivered strong revenue and EBITDA growth despite lower generation, driven by market normalization, portfolio expansion, and new USD-denominated contracts. Major projects and a 30-year hydro concession extension position the company for further EBITDA gains in 2026.

  • Q3 2025 saw strong EBITDA and revenue growth, driven by renewables, thermal fuel pass-through, and market liberalization. The company acquired Cafayate Solar Farm, secured major BESS projects, and expects a 20–25% EBITDA uplift from deregulation, with further upside from new contracts.

  • Adjusted EBITDA fell 32% sequentially to $61.4 million, with revenues down 8% due to maintenance outages and seasonality, but up 7% year-over-year. Growth projects are on track, and CapEx was fully funded by operating cash flow. Net leverage remains low at 0.56x LTM EBITDA.

  • Revenue grew 31% year-over-year to $196 million, with net income up 150% to $80 million and Adjusted EBITDA rising 8% to $90 million. Major projects remain on track, and regulatory changes may offer new opportunities, though market liberalization will proceed gradually.
