Fiscal Year 2026
-
The year saw major restructuring progress, with over 80% creditor support for BRL 65.1 billion in debt and significant portfolio simplification. Despite macroeconomic and weather challenges, efficiency gains and disciplined capital allocation improved profitability in core segments, while divestments and hedging strategies support future resilience.
-
Fuel distribution delivered strong results in Brazil and Argentina, while EAB faced climate and pricing challenges. A BRL 11.1 billion non-cash impairment drove a net loss, but robust liquidity and ongoing asset sales support a capital structure review and leverage reduction plan.
-
EBITDA improved in Brazil's fuel distribution, while EAB and Argentina faced headwinds from macro and seasonal factors. Expense and CapEx reductions, portfolio simplification, and a $1B credit facility support deleveraging and liquidity.
-
Efficiency gains and portfolio simplification drove a 20% SG&A reduction and 23% lower investments, but adverse weather and Argentina's volatility weighed on results. Focus remains on core businesses, deleveraging, and operational improvements.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Results were impacted by adverse weather, wildfires, and restructuring, leading to lower EBITDA and a renewed focus on core businesses. Asset sales and cost controls aim to reduce debt, with gradual deleveraging expected as CapEx declines and operational efficiency improves.

Challenging weather and market conditions led to lower sugarcane yields and higher debt, but accelerated sales and operational efficiencies supported results. The company is shifting to a cycle of simplification, focusing on core businesses, reducing CapEx, and prioritizing debt reduction.

Adjusted EBITDA was shaped by strong sugar pricing, lower ethanol exports, and electricity volatility, while asset optimization and cost controls supported financial discipline. E2G production nearly doubled year-over-year, and CapEx is set to be at the lower end of guidance.
-
Strong first quarter performance driven by mobility margin expansion, record sugarcane crushing, and strategic inventory management. E2G and renewables investments are ramping up, with guidance for continued EBITDA growth, disciplined CapEx, and deleveraging.
