Return To Losses And Negative Gross ProfitThe firm posted a sharp deterioration in profitability, with 2025 reporting negative gross profit and net losses. Negative gross margins erode the basic economics of both pulp and generation segments, limit internal reinvestment capacity, and increase reliance on operational fixes or external financing to restore sustainable margins.
Rising Leverage And Weaker Equity BaseDebt increased while equity declined, pushing leverage to roughly 1.36x. Higher indebtedness reduces financial flexibility, raises interest and refinancing risk, and constrains the company’s ability to invest or absorb prolonged cyclical downturns—particularly risky in capital-intensive, commodity-exposed industries.
Declining Revenue And Negative Free Cash FlowRevenues contracted materially and free cash flow turned meaningfully negative in 2025, signaling weaker demand and higher cash consumption. Falling top-line with negative FCF pressures liquidity, limits debt reduction and capex flexibility, and makes funding operational adjustments or strategic investments more difficult without external capital.
