Consolidated net revenues slipped 1.7% to ARS 225.2 billion in the quarter, while adjusted EBITDA dropped 33.4% and the EBITDA margin contracted to 19.7%, reflecting higher costs and inflationary pressure.

Across segments, cement, masonry and lime revenue fell 4.4% despite modest volume growth for the year, whereas concrete rebounded strongly with 62.0% higher quarterly volumes and a 37.1% increase in revenue, and rail and aggregates posted mixed pricing and volume trends. For 2025, EBITDA reached ARS 181.0 billion with a lower 21.3% margin and net profit of ARS 22.8 billion, yet leverage remained moderate at 1.47x net debt to LTM EBITDA and the company highlighted ESG progress, including a 22% cut in CO2 emissions versus 2021 and high waste recovery, which supports its long-term positioning in Argentina’s construction value chain.
