Votorantim Cimentos reported global cement sales of 9.9Mt in the second quarter of 2026, up 6 per cent YoY, as improved volumes and pricing supported higher revenue and EBITDA.
Consolidated net revenue reached BRL8.2bn (US$1.5bn), representing a 16 per cent increase YoY excluding foreign exchange effects. Adjusted EBITDA rose 17 per cent on the same basis to BRL1.9bn, while the EBITDA margin remained stable at 24 per cent.
Brazilian revenue increased 20 per cent to BRL4.2bn, while adjusted EBITDA advanced 32 per cent to BRL731m. Europe and Asia also recorded strong growth, with revenue up 21 per cent and EBITDA rising 36 per cent in local currencies.
Net income fell 65 per cent to BRL628m, largely reflecting the absence of discontinued-operation gains recorded in 2Q25 following the sale of the company's Moroccan operations.
Capital expenditure totalled BRL803m during the quarter. Votorantim Cimentos is continuing its BRL5bn 2024-28 Brazilian investment programme, including the recently announced BRL260m expansion of its Xambioá plant, which will increase cement capacity by 0.5Mta to 1.5Mta from July 2028.
