Q1 2026 earnings summary15 May, 2026

Executive summary

  • Net sales rose 6.9% year-over-year to BRL 3.49 billion, despite a 5.8% decline in sales volume due to tight cattle supplies and extended feeding periods.

  • Achieved net income of R$111 million, up 26.8% year-over-year, with net revenue of R$39.5 billion and adjusted EBITDA of R$3.1 billion, reflecting robust performance and disciplined execution across all segments.

  • Strategic investments in China and the Middle East, including the acquisition of the Henan plant and creation of Sadia Halal, are expected to drive sustainable growth and global competitiveness.

  • Integration of Marfrig and BRF operations advanced, capturing R$126 million in synergies and progressing on the MBRF+ efficiency program with R$296 million in savings.

  • Strong beef demand persisted even with record retail prices, and the company expects continued robust demand as the cattle cycle progresses.

Financial highlights

  • Net revenue was R$39,453 million, down 0.1% year-over-year, with 46% from North America, 16% from South America, and 38% from BRF.

  • Adjusted EBITDA reached R$3,096 million (7.8% margin), down 3.2% year-over-year, mainly due to BRF seasonality.

  • U.S. Kansas live cattle prices averaged $238.60/cwt, up 17.9% year-over-year; USDA cutout averaged $371.56/cwt, up 14.4%.

  • Inventory and biological assets consumed BRL 1.1 billion in working capital, mainly due to inventory buildup for exports and increased feedlot volumes.

  • Free cash flow was negative R$1,262 million, reflecting seasonal working capital consumption and inventory build-up.

Outlook and guidance

  • Management expects Q2 results to surpass those of the previous year, with confidence that margins will be no worse than last year.

  • Management expects investments in new geographies and integration synergies to yield increasing returns throughout 2026.

  • Inventory levels are expected to gradually decrease over the year, releasing working capital.

  • CapEx for 2026 is projected at around BRL 5 billion, with acceleration expected in Q2.

  • No major grain supply concerns for 2026; cost pressures from logistics in the Middle East are being offset by price increases.

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.
