Fiscal Year 2026
-
Global wind installations hit a record, but Brazil's market is at a cyclical low, with recovery expected in 2027. Q1 2026 saw lower revenue and losses, but cost discipline and export growth are supporting a turnaround as production ramps up and new contracts improve margins.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
2025 saw historic lows in demand and operational efficiency, with revenue down 51% year-over-year and significant net losses. Signs of recovery include new contracts, export growth, and production line reactivation, with financial stability expected to improve by late 2026.
-
Operational activity and revenue declined sharply year-over-year, with negative EBITDA and net losses driven by non-recurring expenses and industry curtailment. Liquidity and debt renegotiation remain priorities, while market recovery is expected from 2027.
-
Revenue grew 15% year-over-year in Q2 2025, driven by exports and service growth, but EBITDA remained negative and net losses persisted. Debt reprofiling and new financing improved liquidity, while operational efficiency increased despite low demand.
-
Debt maturities were extended and 73% of obligations renegotiated, improving financial stability amid the lowest demand since 2013. Operational efficiency improved, but margins remain tight; gradual growth is expected from 2026 as the market recovers.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Services grew 30% year-over-year, offsetting a 50% drop in blade production and revenue. A one-off BRL 751 million write-off led to a net loss, but EBITDA margin remained positive for the year. Export growth and debt restructuring are key to future recovery.
-
Q3 2024 featured a 13% revenue decline, a net loss of BRL 56.7 million, and strong services growth. Export recovery and ramp-up of new lines are underway, with services expected to drive near-term revenue as domestic and US markets show improving prospects.
-
Operational efficiency and margins improved despite an 18% sequential and 36% year-over-year revenue decline, with strong cash generation and reduced leverage. International markets, especially the U.S., are expected to drive future growth as domestic demand remains subdued.
