Q3 2026 earnings summary10 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • Third quarter results were impacted by lower sugarcane productivity and TRS due to adverse weather, reducing sugar and ethanol output and raising unit costs.

  • Net income surged 169%–168.5% year-over-year, reaching BRL 424.1 million in 3Q26, driven by subsidy credits, tax credits, and mark-to-market derivative adjustments.

  • Adjusted EBITDA margin for 3Q26 was 49.4%, down from 57.4% in the prior year quarter.

  • Ethanol sales volume dropped nearly 40% sequentially, with inventories shifted to 4Q for improved pricing.

  • Corn ethanol production and processing increased 3%–3.2% year-over-year, supporting segment performance.

Financial highlights

  • Net revenue for 3Q26 was BRL 1.59 billion, down 13.6% year-over-year, mainly due to lower ethanol sales and prices.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for 3Q26 was BRL 787.1 million, a 25.6% decrease year-over-year, with a margin of 49.4%.

  • 9M26 net income totaled BRL 663.3 million, up 46.9% year-over-year.

  • Net debt at December-end was BRL 5.8 billion, with Net Debt/LTM EBITDA at 1.82x, mainly due to higher working capital and CapEx.

  • Cash position at year-end was BRL 3.4 billion, with a comfortable debt amortization schedule and minimal short-term refinancing needs.

Outlook and guidance

  • Expectation of improved productivity and cost dilution in the next crop year, with potential cost reductions of 10%-15% if 24 million tons of cane are crushed.

  • Cost reductions and margin improvements are expected by the end of the 2025/26 crop season.

  • Corn operations and processing volumes remain in line with guidance.

  • Ethanol sales were strategically shifted to 4Q to capitalize on better prices.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
