Cosan Navigates Economic Challenges with Strategic Overhaul and Debt Management

Cosan ( (CSAN) ) has issued an update.

In 2024, Cosan faced a challenging macroeconomic environment with rising interest rates and inflation in Brazil, impacting its financial performance. Despite these challenges, the company achieved significant operational success in most of its investments, with notable growth in Rumo’s transport volume and Compass’s natural gas distribution. However, Raízen underperformed, prompting a strategic overhaul and management changes. Cosan also took steps to manage its debt and optimize its capital structure, including selling its minority stake in Vale in January 2025 to reduce debt. The company plans to focus on disciplined capital allocation and portfolio quality in 2025 to ensure sustainable growth.
