Executive summary
Pulp price recovery and efficiency gains at Softys drove quarterly performance, while Biopackaging faced margin pressure from oversupply and seasonality.
Sales rose 5% quarter-over-quarter, led by Softys' volume recovery in Brazil and Mexico and higher hardwood pulp prices.
Net income dropped 65% quarter-over-quarter and 89% year-over-year, mainly due to foreign exchange losses from BRL and MXN appreciation and lower hyperinflation adjustments.
Asset monetization and efficiency initiatives are underway to strengthen the balance sheet and reduce leverage.
Significant progress was made on the Natureza port project and innovation with the inauguration of Chile’s first lignin pilot plant.
Financial highlights
Consolidated sales reached $1,916 million, up 5% quarter-over-quarter and flat year-over-year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $270 million (14.1% margin), up 6% quarter-over-quarter, down 19% year-over-year.
Net income was $9 million, down 65% quarter-over-quarter and 89% year-over-year.
CapEx was $170 million, down both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year.
Operating cash flow rose to $344 million, up 55% quarter-over-quarter and 25% year-over-year.
Outlook and guidance
Management expects leverage to decline in coming quarters, driven by improved results, cash flow, and asset monetization.
Biopackaging is expected to benefit from operational and efficiency initiatives toward year-end.
The Natureza investment decision remains subject to value creation and prudent risk management principles.
Asset monetization program continues to strengthen the balance sheet and support investment-grade rating.
No change in CapEx guidance, but ongoing focus on efficiency and strict cash use.
