Votorantim Cimentos, a building materials and sustainable solutions company, ended the third quarter of 2025 with double-digit growth in net revenue and operating results, driven by higher sales volumes and positive pricing dynamics, supported by geographic and product diversification. The company posted R$8.7 billion in global net revenue in the third quarter of 2025, up 15% compared to the same period last year, excluding the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates. The result reflects the positive dynamics in both sales volume and price across the established portfolio. In 3Q25, the company’s global cement sales totaled 10.6 million tonnes, a 6% increase compared to the same period in 2024.

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in the third quarter was R$2.4 billion, up 10% in local currency compared to the same period in 2024. New businesses, in addition to cement, continued to drive our results, with an 11% increase in EBITDA in local currency compared to the same period in the previous year. The EBITDA margin in the third quarter was 28%, on par with 3Q24, excluding non-recurring items that positively impacted the third quarter of 2024.

Votorantim Cimentos ended the third quarter of the year with R$967 million in net profit, a 3% increase compared to the same period in 2024 if we consider only the company’s current portfolio.

Capex investments in the third quarter of the year totaled R$831 million, 31% higher than in the same period last year. This increase was driven by Votorantim Cimentos’ global investment strategy focused on modernization and competitiveness, in addition to projects linked to decarbonization commitments and new businesses. Sustaining and modernization projects and other investments accounted for 75% of the total consolidated Capex. The remainder 25% corresponded to investments in expansion projects.

R$2.4 billion of the R$5 billion planned to be invested in Brazil between 2024 and 2028 has already been invested. Key projects that progressed in the third quarter included the startup of a new cement mill at the Salto de Pirapora (SP) plant, which added 1 million tonnes per year to the site’s installed capacity. Another project was the inauguration of a used tire shredding facility in Cuiabá (MT), with the capacity to process up to 1,500 tonnes per month of used tires that will be co-processed and used as alternative fuel at the company’s local plant.

“We ended the third quarter with consistent growth in operating results, in addition to increased investments. We continued to make progress in competitiveness, decarbonization and new businesses, enabled by the strength of our company, despite an environment that was volatile and required a cautious approach,” said Osvaldo Ayres, global CEO of Votorantim Cimentos.

At the end of the third quarter of 2025, leverage, measured by the net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio, was 1.78x, on par with 3Q24. In September, the credit rating agency Fitch Ratings reaffirmed Votorantim Cimentos’ BBB global credit rating, with a “stable” outlook, maintaining the company’s investment-grade rating.

“Votorantim Cimentos continues to invest without losing sight of its traditional financial discipline, demonstrated by the confirmation of its credit rating by Fitch. We have also maintained solid liquidity, enabling the company to meet its financial obligations for the coming years,” said Antonio Pelicano, Global CFO of Votorantim Cimentos.

In November, the company issued, in the domestic market, R$1 billion in debentures, non-convertible into shares, in a single series, maturing in 2033. This new fundraising transaction is in line with Votorantim Cimentos’ financial management strategy, focused on reducing costs and extending the debt profile.
