▲(10.22% Upside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:04/01/26
The score is held back primarily by high leverage and recent softness/volatility in profitability and cash generation, despite a multi-year turnaround. Support comes from attractive valuation (low P/E) and a constructive earnings-call outlook including refinancing and 2026 growth guidance, while technicals are mildly positive but not yet strong on a long-term basis.
Positive Factors
Improved cash generation & liquidity
Material free‑cash‑flow and cash balance gains strengthen the company's liquidity cushion, a durable enabler for deleveraging, funding modest 4% revenue CapEx, and supporting strategic projects (PPP and clinic expansion). Strong cash buffers reduce refinancing stress and increase optionality over multiple quarters.
Negative Factors
High leverage and tight balance sheet
Persistently high absolute debt and elevated leverage ratios constrain financial flexibility and leave the company sensitive to interest‑rate cycles. Even with refinancing, sustaining investments, absorbing operational shocks, and completing targeted deleveraging requires consistent cash‑flow improvement across quarters.

Auna S.A. Class A Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Mar 10, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 27, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a constructive financial and operational reset: the company strengthened liquidity and capital structure through a sizable refinancing, delivered strong free cash flow and a marked increase in adjusted net income, and highlighted robust, scalable performance in Peru alongside early signs of stabilization and targeted growth initiatives in Mexico (notably oncology and new commercial wins). However, near-term profitability was pressured by a decline in consolidated EBITDA and margin compression driven largely by Mexico underperformance and one-off/extraordinary refinancing costs, as well as receivable impairments and payor-related risk management in Colombia. Management provided confident 2026 guidance (12% revenue and EBITDA growth) and outlined clear mitigation levers, indicating the positives outweigh the transitory challenges.Positive Updates
Consolidated Revenue Growth
Consolidated revenue grew 6% FX-neutral in Q4 2025 and 4% for the full year 2025, driven by strong performance in Peru (+11% in the quarter) and Colombia (+6% in the quarter).
Negative Updates
Decline in Adjusted EBITDA and Margin Compression
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA declined 14% FX-neutral in Q4 2025 to PEN 220 million with margin contracting 4.5 percentage points to 19.5%. For the full year, adjusted EBITDA fell 3% FX-neutral to PEN 917 million and margin decreased ~1.7 percentage points to just under 21%.

Company Guidance
Auna guided to FX‑neutral adjusted EBITDA growth of 12% in 2026 and revenue growth of 12%, with CapEx at approximately 4% of revenue, supported by disciplined cost management, a Mexico recovery and ongoing strategic investments; this follows Q4’25 adjusted EBITDA of PEN 220m (19.5% margin, -4.5 pp YoY) and FY’25 adjusted EBITDA of PEN 917m (-3% FX‑neutral, margin just under 21%, -1.7 pp), Q4 adjusted net income of PEN 136m (FY adjusted net income PEN 336m), and builds on an $825m refinancing that cut blended funding costs by over 100 bps from ~12.5%, reduced interest paid (PEN 454m, or PEN 407m net of refinancing fees), and supports continued deleveraging toward a 3.0x net debt/EBITDA target from the current ~3.6x while leveraging stronger cash generation (free cash flow PEN 582m, +35%; year‑end cash PEN 335m, +42%).Auna S.A.
