The earnings call presented a mix of positive strategic achievements in liability and portfolio management, but these were offset by decreased net income, increased safety incidents, and operational challenges in Raizen. The sentiment is balanced with both positive and negative aspects.
Company Guidance
In the third quarter of 2024, Cosan provided detailed financial guidance and strategic updates during their earnings call. The company reported an EBITDA under management slightly above BRL 8.2 billion, showing a small increase from BRL 8.1 billion in Q3 2023. Net income for the quarter was approximately BRL 300 million, down from over BRL 600 million the previous year, largely due to differences in dividends from Vale and changes in accounting methods. Cosan focused on liability management, including amortizing debentures for 2024-2026 and issuing new debentures to manage 2027 bonds. They maintained a net debt of BRL 21.7 billion, with a debt service coverage ratio of 1.2x over the last 12 months. Strategic portfolio movements included the acquisition of Compagas and the sale of Norgás within Compass, and the acquisition of Pax Group in Moove. Operational highlights included higher transported volumes and tariffs in Rumo, stable EBITDA in Compass, and a 9% EBITDA increase in Moove despite lower volumes. Safety metrics saw a slight increase in incidents, though they remained within acceptable levels. Cosan also highlighted a focus on core business areas and future strategic adjustments in their subsidiaries.
