Good afternoon, everyone. We're going to begin our earnings call for the Q2 of 2023 at Ambipar, and I'm honored to present these results. I really wanna thank our investors and partners for their trust, and especially our employees that continue to work strongly towards achieving our objectives. This is our 13th call ever since our IPO, with a all-time high in revenue and EBITDA, with an increment in margins, in Environment and Response. Over the Q2 of 2023, we noticed that there were improvements in the macro scenario, and a slight increase in the demand of customers in our commercial activities. Operationally, we also have the signage of many reforestation projects, such as Paranapanema, performed between Ambipar, AstraZeneca, and Instituto IPÊ.
Brazil was established as a hub of nature-based solutions to offset carbon emissions, and Ambipar continues to strengthen its position as a reference and benchmark in this area. In the Response segment, the teams in the Brazil and Canada had all excellent results in emergency response. The company also had important projects for the global integration of its operations, as well as the ERPs and operational systems, to be able to cover all of the risk areas serviced by Response. The Q2 was also important, with Tércio Junior coming back as the CEO, with the objective of strengthening the synergies and culture of the organization. In regards to the capital structure, we reduced this in this quarter, and we're gonna manage leverage throughout 2023.
Currently, we've been focusing on this, promoting financial management with greater safety and clear strategies to increase our cash generation. This will also help us with our capacity to generate cash and intensify this process. We have Guilherme, he was just nominated as CEO of Ambipar Environment, and Rafael Espírito Santo as the CEO at Response. We're gonna start this presentation, and if you have any questions, please contact us by chat to post your questions. We can move on to the next slide. About the main highlights for the quarter, as I mentioned, we had a all-time high gross revenue, the net revenue also an all-time high, 41% higher than the Q2 of 2023 versus 2022.
The all-time high EBITDA, with BRL 370 million, a reduction of our leverage by 0.5x compared to the Q1 of 2023, with availability of BRL 3.2 billion in our cash. Our operational ROIC also helping us go through these moments, reaching 30%. Going back to exceptional levels in the Q2 of 2023. We can move on to the next slide. Next. All right, this is a summary of our financials, as I mentioned in the previous slides.
Also, the EBITDA margin, which was 5.5% above the same period last year, which is important growth of our margins, due to all the work done by our team, and also with the new management that's really focused on this mandate to increment margins through capturing synergies. Now, about an important CapEx highlight. People had requested that we would provide some more granularity and a breakdown of how we could present CapEx better, and we've done this in our release to help with this. Of course, we are ongoing improvements, but CapEx, CapEx will be at levels that are very similar as the Q1 of 2023, even with all of the growth we've been presenting. This is important to highlight, and we're gonna share this with greater granularity throughout the presentation.
We can move on to the next one, please. Here we have the organic growth slide, with demand from our investors, to provide more high, a stronger highlight on this. Ambipar, ever since its IPO, really stood out with inorganic growth, but organic was never unsubstantial when we were presenting this, and we grew at 9%. In Environment, we had a slight drop for organic growth, but that's mainly due to a specific service, that HAZMAT, and logistics too in the Q2 of 2022. When we demonstrate here, with the same store sales, you can see this effect in Environment. Response had growth of 28% inorganic, so it's strongly in this trend.
If we look at eliminating this effect with HAZMAT logistics, and we look at the average effect, we would have a growth of 4% in Environment, and in the consolidated results, it'll be 13%. 9% as is, but you have this effect that we wanna highlight, and the company continues to grow at double digits, as we always mention during our interactions. Now, I'm going to pass the floor on to Rafael, so he can talk about Emergency Response and all of the earnings and results. He also has a video he will share with us. Thank you, Thiago. Good afternoon, everyone. Before we get into the specific results at Response, we would like to share a video which gives you a good example, and helps provide some tangibility to the services Ambipar Response services its customers with.
What we'll see, what is a simulation exercise. This was organized by INEA, the environmental agency, the state authority in Rio. This is a very critical region because of the amount of oil and petroleum that's handled and transported. Ambipar Response was invited to operate as a real protagonist in the simulation that we worked on this drill due to its capacity to operate in the ocean and on land. I wanted to quickly cover this a bit. If you could zoom in, please. Very cool. Over here, we can highlight two main initiatives with Ambipar in this exercise.
First of all, as you saw, our field work with the ships and all of the vehicles for support on ground, but also our work as a coordinator of the Unified Command Center with this ICS methodology. It's an international methodology, and it's a big partnership also that we've established a lot with the Witt O'Brien's team. It's a global benchmark, especially in the U.S., for this type of management of incidents. Moving on to our quarterly results, we want to highlight this growth, 15% over the last two years. In the quarter versus the Q2 , we grew 84%, where 28% was organic. The same operations last year grew 28% now in this quarter. This was really levered by Brazil and all of the institutions in Brazil and North America.
These two regions represented about 85% of our earnings at Response. When it comes to segments, we also see that there's an important highlight for the Emergency Response segment and also Industrial Services. When we look at the comparison quarter-over-quarter, we can see that we grew 5%. Almost everything was organic. Currency impacted this a bit when you compare quarter-over-quarter, since this Real was gained value compared to the other currencies that we operate with out of Brazil. When we translate this into Reais, this growth was impacted negatively, and this is actually greater than 5%. Moving on. We can highlight our gross profit, and this is where we can view an increment of our margins and a reversal of the trend in the Q1 .
We had already mentioned that this was gonna be a temporary movement. I want to mention also that as a public service company, most of our costs, 75%, are related to personnel and third-party services. We've been working on excellent management and control of our costs. Just wanted to highlight and remind you all that in the past quarters, what we've been mentioning is, from a structural perspective, our margins will be a little smaller than what they were historically due to an increase in the mix of consulting services within our total revenue. We can move on. An important highlight here is the EBITDA, following the same trend of the gross profit, which is an important growth in the past years, and then this reversal in the margins in the last quarter.
I want to mention also an important other point that Tércio mentioned in the beginning, is that we've really focused on the integration of our business units, integration of our geographic integration, not only operationally in cross-selling, but also when it comes to the back office with systems infrastructure. Especially two systems, the ERP system that we're working on, and also we've been deploying and rolling this out to all of the companies we acquired out of Brazil. We have a proprietary system called Sigma, which is a system that's integrated for management, which will also help us a lot with managing our day-to-day activities at the response unit. Of course, over time, this should be reflected in margins that are greater and greater.
I think these were the highlights I wanted to mention. I'll pass the floor back to you. Thank you, Rafael. Good afternoon, everyone. In the Environment division, we can notice that there's a significant growth of the gross revenue, which is mainly due to different factors, which, of course, include, as Tércio mentioned, the signing of the contract between Ambipar and AstraZeneca, as well as Instituto IPÊ, to set up the ecological corridors with the reforestation of the Atlantic Forest. We also had a slight recovery in the total waste management contracts, where we identified some commercial demand and also the development of some new contracts. We also had an increase of the revenue in the contracts and the average ticket per customer.
On the other hand, in circular economy, we've also identified a slight drop, which is due to the reduction of the market prices for the recycled material. Next, please. About the gross profit, we also had a substantial increase, which is related to the revenues and the, of the project for these quarters with AstraZeneca and Ambipar, and the strategy with CVR to review the contracts over time. We've been keeping a ongoing effort with alignments when necessary, and adjustments, so we can keep our operations profitable. In the circular economy, our strategy has been to maintain the stocks of recyclable materials for recycling at the correct moment, according to the margins.
Well, when it comes to the costs, we also had a significant reduction in the expenses of third parties, and this is due to the investments in the last quarters, substituting equipment from third parties, and thus, we've been able to recover. Next, please. The Environment EBITDA, which also reflects what's in the gross profit, mainly highlighting the all-time high record that we achieved in the Q2 compared to the Q1 . Thank you, Lúcio, and thank you, Rafael, for mentioning each segment. We can move on to the next slide now. Here we can calculate CVM Resolution 156. Last quarter, we had an adjustment we had to perform about the non-cash effect on the Response SPAC, as was already mentioned in our earnings.
We had, as we mentioned in these two verticals, an all-time high EBITDA of BRL 370 million. This reflected all of the work that was done, including Lúcio and Rafael, with how we've reached this point. We can move on. About the debt profile, we have been mentioning this over a few conference calls with long-term debt, and we have a duration that's really interesting compared to our debt profile. There was a reduction in the leverage. As we mentioned, we had an increment in our margins with all this work that was done in the Q2 , and we had this reduction with this methodology, following the internal and external metrics, and our pro forma EBITDA is 2.9 x net EBITDA. Moving on.
The financial results are very similar to the Q2 , sorry, the Q1 of 2023, we continue to have the basic interest rates that's really kind of guiding us with the ceiling. As we mentioned, this is going to be reflected in a 0.5 percentage point now, there's a perspective with this gradual reduction in the EBITDA margin, also the interest impact. We're going to have an improvement in the margins, as you can see Lúcio and Rafael here.... With a mandate to improve margins in both segments. These external factors help us also in intensify this leverage situation, of course, our financial results improve. We can move on to the next one.
As you can see, our consolidated net income, this has been improving mainly due to the financial and operational results, which will, of course, help us in regards to this, not only the leverage, but also the potential net income of the company due to this reduction, potentially in the basic interest rate here in Brazil. Next, please. Then the CapEx, we've been trying, as I mentioned, t-to improve this more and more when it comes to the dynamic of our CapEx. When we compare with our net revenue, we had a total reduction of about 13.3%.
If we move on to the next slide, we can see that we also had besides the breakdown of maintenance and expansion, we also eliminated an effect that was very important for people to understand the dynamic of our CapEx, which is what we call industrial CapEx. The group has been verticalizing the circular economy, and we're talking about here in Brazil, with the expansion of our factories and also abroad with the GIRS project, which is a impressive project in the metropolitan region of Santiago, and how we've been achieving excellent CapEx towards this, with revenues that will start coming in throughout next year. To preserve and provide our investors with more exposure towards this, we break down this as industrial CapEx, which is very strong in the beginning. Then, of course, you have the revenues over time with a different dynamic.
If we eliminate this effect, it becomes very close to what we've been talking to you guys about, which is the core business at Ambipar, with services. The verticalization as well becomes very important. This is a important support service for the total waste management and other verticals in the group. Next. Here, before we move on to the Q&A, we have some points here in our chat. We wanted to highlight some points about-- in regards to the Q2 , with some special awards that we received here and some events and some important highlights for Biocápsula, which developed this project for the collagen capsules that come from pharmaceutical industry, or that maybe weren't approved by the quality control.
We gather this and put this on EcoSolo, and we use the seeds, for trees, and we have the planting of trees through the application, via drones. This is an important project we want to highlight. Very interesting. We've been revitalizing an area that was devastated by this natural incident that occurred in São Sebastião, here in the nor-- litt-- the northern coast of São Paulo, where we're replanting the, the trees, supported by a, association of residents in this region in São Sebastião. The Summit ESG, which was, very interesting. Where we had dozens, of C-levels and major companies and blue chips were present, and that's where we set up some panels with this theme. That was very important, and these discussions were very important as well.
Ambipar has been really positioning itself as a reference when it comes to ESG. Ambipar has been very well positioned. We also had the closing of the partnership between Ambipar and C6 Bank, which is an interesting partnership where all users of C6 Bank can update their carbon footprints online, basically, regardless of the operations they perform within the C6 payment methods, so they can offset this. Also a partnership with Bob's, where through our industries, we performed this partnership involving this structure that's gonna be distributed in all of the Bob's fast food stores, which is like a support for people to take their food, which is made out of 100% recyclable material.
We're gonna finish our actual presentation now, but of course, we'll open up for Q&A, and we have a few questions that were already posted on our chat. The first question comes from Giulia, from Santander. Thank you for this question. Hey, guys. Good afternoon. We noticed there was a strong reduction in the costs, especially from Environment. Can you give us more detail on the cost performance and what we could expect for the next quarters? Lúcio is gonna explain this also with the gross profit and Environment, and he already mentioned one of the items. This is the third-party services. Another item that also had a reduction was maintenance, and both of them are fruit of the investments we performed in the last quarters.
When we talk about the CapEx for 21 and 22, we were also talking about some operations we acquired that were using third-party services for spot services, and also the fleets of these companies that we had to renew, which reflects in the maintenance costs. This level is what we expect for the next quarters. Over here, Breno is an individual, and he congratulated us for the results, thank you for that. There's a question about Biofílica, if there's stock for the token in Ambipar. The token is still not listed on the main houses, such as Binance and Coinbase. Well, Breno, Ambify is a initiative by Ambipar, and Biofílica is another, a legal entity that's also related to the same topic, which is carbon credit.
Ambify has been listing in certain brokers, and there's this tokenization of carbon credits, and Biofílica takes care of the credit generation through reforestation, and also with this type of service, it's a pioneer service, and we highlighted this during our presentation. You have Breno also talking about the net income, and we had highlighted this important highlight in this controller column. Eduardo from Soma also has been asking if we should expect maintenance of the CapEx pace or a reduction in leverage will generate room for more investments.
As a CapEx dynamic here, we mentioned this percentage of the net revenue from 10%-12%, and we're always going to highlight the industrial CapEx, as we call it, which has this different dynamic that we'll mention throughout the presentation. Thank you for the question, Eduardo. The other Eduardo Lagreca. First of all, good afternoon, Eduardo. Could you talk about the gross margins that you achieved in Environment this quarter? We would like to understand which were the points such as the reforestation, if we mentioned... Lúcio also mentioned this, and he explained this very well. Yes, there was this effect. There's an EBITDA margin, it's quite interesting, but that's not all.
There was also the margin effect with the reduction in certain cost lines, there was also a revenue increment in all of the verticals and types of services and environment that made us reach this level of gross margins. Max, I haven't talked to you in a while. Max Bohm, what's the strategy of the company to keep up with the EBITDA margin above 30%? This is what we have been talking about, our strategy is that the C levels in the company are 100% focused and moving, sharing these levels with the organization in regards to the synergies. When we mentioned, all of these had synergies to be captured in the D zero plus one, now we're focusing on other synergies that are not as obvious.
The new mandate that Lúcio and Rafael have is to share this with the teams and with Guilherme, our CEO, and the group, which is really focusing on the margin and bringing in these synergies, which will, of course, lead to exceptional margins as what we presented in this quarter. We can see if you could give us a little more detail. We prepared this material, and in the release, there's a bridge for how we've been working on this Net debt from one quarter to another. Of course, this includes the working capital, and the working capital includes growth. When we talked about growth in Emergência for emergency response in Brazil. As we have this kind of event, the working capital is needs to be consumed. There's no way out.
This is the type of business we have. It's even an entry barrier and an environment. We had an increase in stocks, as mentioned, when it comes to the strategy, for margins, and not performing sales at prices that don't make sense, and also the growth of waste management and waste repurposing. This, of course, includes the deployment of the contract, beginning of the contract, the billing, et cetera. Of course, we have this working capital, and of course, the project as a whole. Danilo also asked about- oh, he's congratulating on the results, and he has three questions. One minute. Congratulations on the results, and thank you.
We would like to understand how the tax restructuring has been progressing and when we'll be able to understand the impact on this, and also what's the reduction of the leverage that we expect to achieve? The first question, we already have a consulting firm, hired. It's a Big Four, and they're starting this work, and it will require a few months to, consider this possible increment that's gonna come, but from 2024 onwards. As I mentioned, in the past, the group has been more conservative, and so we're gonna be very careful with this, and we're trying to be very conservative about any kind of operation, or risk-taking, related to changes in tax situations. But of course, there is a potential, and we'll be able to capture this in the mid to long term.
Felipe, also an individual. Oh, sorry, there's a second question from Danilo about leverage, right? The leverage we see as ideal is below 3 x. We're not gonna accelerate CapEx. The CapEx that needed to be done was already done. Of course, if you-- if we do see anything like this, and there's a lot of capital employed, we have to be very careful. If there's any projects that require returns within expectations, then, of course, we'll always have returns above cost of capital. We'll obviously do this and provide disclosure. We have some projects with circular economy that are very interesting, that we are going to work on, and certainly, we would do this. Of course, we always need to re-respect the returns rate that we are committed to.
Breno Soares talked about the response margins. We mentioned there should be a reduction due to the margins in the consulting services, considering the service indexes and what's the margins we should expect. As I mentioned, naturally, when we increase the mix of services, overall, the margins tend to be a little smaller, but that doesn't mean we're gonna have less returns. It just means you have less employed capital, less equipment, and in this type of service. I'd say that we'll see something between the current margin and the historical margin, which is around 27%. It would be like a natural expectation.
With this focus on the integration and cross-selling and greater efficiency, the idea is that we should, over time, increase the margins of the current levels and try to converge to another level that's a historical level. Okay, thank you. Great. The next one comes from Lorenzo. Thank you, Lorenzo, for your question. The question is about the revenue. Well, we have a top line that's very interesting about this kind of project, of course, this is a project that's a pioneer with AstraZeneca, and it's in a very relevant area. We provided more details about this. It's about 6,000 hectares in this project. We do have certain things in the pipeline, but as I mentioned in the opening speech, Ambipar considers to be very well positioned to capture this kind of project.
We also have a big OEM and pharmaceutical company, and we do hope to have the signing of this contract. The duration of this project is 30 years with AstraZeneca. Of course, Ambipar and Biofílica's parts, which was the delivery of the project, were basically already performed and delivered. What we're missing now is just to monitor all of this in this area, and we'll start recognizing these re- these revenues and registering these revenues as we monitor this. Victor from Alfa mentioned that the gross margin response improved, especially due to the reduction of the net revenue. A percentage of the net revenue, right? You could explain these effects also because the line in fu- of fuels in response did not have improvements when it comes to the net revenue, such as Environment. Well, I could start talking about this.
Obviously, the cost as a percentage of the revenue will vary from quarter-over-quarter according to the service mix. So naturally, there's a variation depending on the geographic mix, but also the mix between different types of services. So we didn't identify anything specific impact in or in the line with others that we should mention here. About an improvement in the percentage here, if you compare this with Environment, there's exponential growth, but of course, costs reduced. Especially when it comes to fuel, as companies start integrating with the Ambipar ecosystem, we have this real robust system when it comes to fleet management. We've been developing some payment methods and negotiation with the fuel stations so that we can have a reduction in these costs.
Mateus has also been asking about if due to the success in the deleveraging of an organic growth, he wanted to know if this could be a trigger for the recovery of an organic growth in a more intensified way. Well, what we've really focused on is the organic growth, and we've seen that afterwards, this cycle is going to be for organic growth. Then once again, as I mentioned, with the CapEx, we're always going to consider the returns. At this moment, in the short term, we've been really focused on this new cycle. Of course, the market has been improving, and we're always looking at opportunities. We're closing the top line with the necessary updates, always with all of our peers and partners. Of course, there's a lot of opportunities on the table.
At this moment, we're looking at organic as our main focus. Mateus is also asking-- He's from Grupo Soma, and he's asking about if we consider a level of leverage below three, and the answer is yes. This is our target for leverage below 3. Diogo is an individual, and Diogo Ferreira. First, he wants to congratulate us on the results, but he had some questions about the leverage and if we expect more investments at Ambipar. The idea is that over time, we'll keep up the values of the net EBITDA equated and keep this amount, increasing the EBITDA to be able to balance this out. As I mentioned in the previous question, our idea is to keep this equation with this EBITDA below 3 x. Of course, always looking at the opportunities.
Ricardo Pereira asks about which are the other industrial CapEx that are foreseen to begin operations? We also can't give you guidance on the CapEx, but we can give you quantitative analysis. Besides the GIRI project in Santiago, we also have the expansion and the circular economy in the Northeast with the CapEx that we've already started, a part of it, when it comes to machinery, and we've been implementing this project there. It's really interesting because it's going to be very well positioned geographically, and we have contracts for waste management in the Northeast region, and we've been actively operating there. This helps us have a logistical gain that's very significant, and we're going to capture this well.
We also have in the Q1 , some investments in the factories in Paranavaí, especially when it comes to the verticalization of the plastics we capture with PP and PE. Rafael from Reach or Garde, he also is an individual investor. His question is about a possible difference in the release and the ITR. Maybe here, Rafael, I can help you, because what I understand you're talking about is that the release has a total profit. The ITR segregates this between the participation of the controller and the subsidiaries. If that's the only reason why, Rafael, if that's your question, just to clarify that. Well, Danilo Ferreira, another question is, in the Q1 , there were a lot of fires in Canada, and if we operated in these, and if we have any plans to expand even more in Canada?
Yes, we do have plans to expand in Canada. It's a priority market for us and North America as a whole, of course. Today, we're very present in the western area of Canada, in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, where you have very strong activities for oil and gas operations. It was actually an anecdote because the Alberta province produces more petroleum than all of Brazil. Here on shore, we have a lot of services there. We had a bit of exposure to the fires in Canada. Our fire division has been responding very well to these and has been growing significantly ever since we acquired the former first response company.
Overall, there's still a lot of opportunities to be leveraged, leveraged on, and there are a lot of opportunities for growth organically and also inorganically. If we have any opportunities appear, we continue to be interesting to be in other regions in Canada or even in other types of complementary services. Well, also, one more question is about when you look at the management horizon, if you've recovered the M&A processes. As I mentioned, we don't plan to get back to the accelerated pace, but we have been looking at opportunities. If we do see opportunities that have expected returns above our cost of capital, we'll have we'll work on this, and of course, considering this period with leverage.
This is our mantra when it comes to the management and the pace of deleveraging in the company. Elias here, he's also an individual investor. He's congratulating us for the work, and he wants to know about how Ambipar has been with managing tires, considering the size of the fleet, and does the company have something in this segment? Well, we have the use of the tires, which are used for the cement industry. We have our processing unit for tire chips in the Northeast, Midwest, South, and now we're also developing a project that's new for the Southeast region. The use is for the production of energy and specifically in the cement industry.
Lorenzo, once again, due to the strong performance of Response in Brazil in the Q2 , should we consider like a normalization of this? Well, I think I can take that one. Strong performance is what we've been working on, right? Trying to build a platform that is really complete for services and become a important service provider for our customers, more and more. This ecosystem has been retro feeding itself, so we can have important cross-selling and grow more and more within customers, where we already offer more and more services. We always have some events taking place, and such as Tércio mentioned, with the working capital and this quarter specifically, we did have a few cases like this. I can mention a few of these.
We had some occurrences in grain silos and railways in Cubatão, here in São Paulo. Other occurrences and events in the, the mountains near Petrópolis in Rio. This is all common, and it's natural that you have, like, a recurrence of this type of event, especially in Brazil, due to the quality of our infrastructure. Although we may have a, a normalization scenario, the beau- this is the beauty of us having built this diversified platform geographically, but also when it comes to different types of services, this allows us to really be exposed to different types of incidents. Although Brazil reaches a normalization level in the near future, we'll probably have one or another region benefiting from some specific event.
We like saying that the greater the sample, the lower the standard deviation, when we look at the consolidated results, we don't see much volatility. Going back to that graph that we had presented about growth, we always grow, especially organically. Great! The question from Mariana about leverage. We see the index dropping for net debt to EBITDA, especially to the growth of the EBITDA, with some expectations for the net debt also dropping. This we, we should be monitoring. When we look at this, and I mentioned the net debt that we mentioned in the release, we have the main factors, the working capital. We've already seen some positive results.
We also see the financial results, once again, the interest rate at high levels, which increases our net debt and the currency variation, which are three factors that really affected us. Yes, the expectation is that it could drop consequently. Of course, these factors must be considered: the drop of the interest rate, the currency variation, and also the working capital, which is part of our business case. About dividends, we have no perspectives towards performing a distribution above the minimum mandatory amount. The company continues to employ capital and growth organically. Ricardo Pereira, once again, has another question about a credit demand for Witt O'Briens in the second semester. Claro, yes, we do have this expectation.
Witt O'Brien's has demonstrated a trend that's very significant for improvements in its results, and we continue to see a lot of cross-selling between the business units. Witt O'Brien's is more integrated into our operation in the United States. I want to remind you that we already had an operation for L1, as you mentioned, and today we already reached a 100% integration between Witt O'Brien's and the team we had. Witt O'Brien' s has working with L2, and we've been working with the space we already have of L3, with a lot of services done jointly. This is something that makes us really excited about what's up ahead.
When it comes to government, as you mentioned, we do hope, naturally, that in the H2 of the year, we'll have better results when it comes to the comparing with the Q1 and the H1 , sorry, as we've seen over the past years. We have another question from Enzo. Enzo is asking about he's congratulating us on the results and if he could give us a little more details on the environment business and how this changed the perspectives for this quarter. What's the best guidance for the second semester? He had this impression that the level of revenue was extraordinary, and if we could expect this level as well. Well, there was this kind of revenue as well.
As we mentioned, it's an iconic project, and we do have some similar projects that are very interesting when it comes to consulting services and reforestation as well. We mentioned how this project took place, and we've been looking at the second semester as well, as you mentioned, at really good levels. We've seen improvements in the pipelines, and we have very positive perspectives and prospects about the future of this business. We'll continue to work towards following the same levels. I think these are the main questions. I think we covered them all. Here, he's also just mentioning what Enzo discussed about the gross margins. Yeah, I think that's it. I want to thank Rafael and Lúcio for their support during the call. I hope you enjoyed the results.
The company is very excited and optimistic about the work that was done, but especially what can come along in the next quarters. We're going to be working strongly towards this with all of our team at Ambipar. We want to thank you all for your presence, and count on us if you have any other questions. You can direct them to us or our investor relations team. We'll always be available also to clarify any questions. We know it's a different business. We are always going to be available to help. Thank you so much. Thanks, guys. Have a nice afternoon.
