Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 26, 2025
|% Change Since: 1.42%
|Next Earnings Date:May 07, 2025
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call presented a mixed sentiment, with notable achievements in Ultragaz and Ultracargo's performance and strong cash flow and investment in expansion. However, this was balanced by challenges in Ipiranga's performance, decreased recurring EBITDA, increased leverage, and ongoing issues with unlawful practices in the fuel industry.Company Guidance
During Ultrapar's fourth-quarter 2024 results conference call, the company provided guidance on various financial metrics and future expectations. The recurring EBITDA for the fourth quarter was RMB 1.284 billion, marking a 23% decrease from the same period in 2023, mainly due to lower EBITDA at Ipiranga and a RMB 104 million share of loss from Hidrovias. Annually, recurring EBITDA totaled RMB 5.375 billion, a 4% decline compared to 2023. Ultrapar's net income remained stable at RMB 2.526 billion for 2024, similar to 2023 figures, bolstered by higher extraordinary tax credits despite a lower recurring EBITDA from Ipiranga. The company declared additional dividends of RMB 493 million, with a total distribution of RMB 769 million for 2024. Operational cash generation slightly decreased by 2% to RMB 3.736 million due to higher working capital investment. Ultrapar's investments reached RMB 2.213 billion, a 14% increase, primarily driven by higher investments in Ultracargo. The company also highlighted challenges from unlawful practices in the fuel industry, impacting margins and competitive dynamics, but expects regulatory advancements to improve the competitive landscape. For 2025, Ultrapar plans to invest RMB 2.542 billion, with a focus on expansion.Ultragaz and Ultracargo Performance
Ultragaz's recurring EBITDA totaled RMB 441 million in the quarter, a 9% growth year-over-year. Ultracargo's EBITDA totaled RMB 169 million in the quarter, a 9% growth year-over-year, driven by an improved sales mix, higher tariffs from spot sales, and contractual adjustments.
