Fiscal Year 2026
-
A strategic plan aims to unlock value by divesting cement and infrastructure assets, targeting BRL 16–18 billion in deleveraging by 2026 and reducing leverage to 1.8x net debt/EBITDA. Mining, infrastructure, and energy remain core growth areas, with asset sales funding future investments.
Fiscal Year 2025

Record 2025 results driven by mining, logistics, and cost reductions, with EBITDA up 15% year-over-year. Strategic asset sales and anti-dumping measures aim to reduce leverage and support margin recovery in 2026.

Q3 2025 saw record operational and financial results, with EBITDA up 26% year-over-year and leverage reduced to 3.1x. All segments posted strong performance, especially mining and cement, while anti-dumping measures and cost controls are expected to further boost margins in Q4.
-
EBITDA grew in all segments except mining, which was hit by lower iron ore prices, while steel, cement, and logistics delivered strong results. Leverage dropped to 3.24x, with further deleveraging and asset sales planned. Import competition and slow government action remain key risks.

Q2 2024 saw strong operational and financial improvements, with record mining and cement results, a 35% sequential EBITDA increase, and margin recovery in steel. Leverage rose slightly due to FX and dividends, but deleveraging remains a key focus, supported by ongoing M&A and efficiency gains.
