Executive summary

  • Announced a structural transformation to separate into two focused operating companies: Argos Materials (U.S.) and Argos LATAM (Colombia, Central America, Caribbean, and trading), each with strategic and financial autonomy to accelerate value creation for shareholders.

  • Both platforms will operate independently with dedicated leadership, supported by a strategic corporate center overseeing the transformation process and capital allocation.

  • SPRINT 4.0 program continues to drive shareholder value, with a cumulative TSR of 693% in dollars since February 2023 and a 16% TSR by April 2026.

  • U.S. growth strategy advancing, including a second test shipment to Houston and a $400 million capitalization of Argos North America Investments LLC.

  • Delivered solid operating results in a mixed market environment, with Colombia and Central America showing strong performance and margin expansion.

Financial highlights

  • Consolidated revenues for 1Q26 were COP 1.22 trillion, nearly flat year-over-year (-0.8%), with volume growth in Colombia and Central America offset by operational disruptions in the Dominican Republic.

  • Adjusted EBITDA reached COP 271 billion, up 4.7% year-over-year, with a margin of 22.2% (+116 bps).

  • Adjusted net income was COP 120 billion, down from the prior year mainly due to FX losses; net margin at 9.8%.

  • Cement volumes were 2.08 million tons (-0.8% YoY); ready-mix concrete volumes grew 9.1% to 570k m3.

  • Caribbean and Central America revenues fell 6.3% YoY to USD 129 million, with EBITDA margin expanding to 23.3%.

Outlook and guidance

  • Full-year EBITDA margin guidance reaffirmed at 24%-26%, with management confident in achieving this despite Q1 margin of 22.2% due to seasonal maintenance.

  • LTM ROCE reached 17%, above the >16% target for the next two years.

  • CAPEX guidance for 2026: USD 80-100 million for both Latam and U.S. operations.

  • U.S. team expected to be fully in place by mid-to-late 2026 to support Dominican Republic operations and M&A activity.

  • Continued focus on operational efficiency, disciplined capital deployment, and accelerated growth for both platforms.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

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.
