- Cash Flow: Operating cash flow decreased 17% to BRL 85.3 million, impacted by inventory buildup and fair value adjustments.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
- Operational Outlook: Management notes the 2024/25 harvest was challenging due to weather and management complexities, resulting in production 9% below estimates. However, diversification into sugarcane and livestock, along with hedging strategies, helped mitigate margin impacts.
- Real Estate Strategy: The portfolio market value reached BRL 3.5 billion (CAGR of 18% over 5 years). The company continues to seek capital gains through the sale of developed properties.
- Subsequent Events: In August 2025, the company signed a long-term agricultural partnership for a 2,950-hectare unit in Nova Lacerda and Comodoro, MT.
- Dividend Policy: Management proposes a dividend payout of 57.20% of adjusted net income. The remaining adjusted net income (BRL 56.1 million) will be allocated to the Investment and Expansion Reserve.
- Risks: Key risks include commodity price volatility, exchange rate fluctuations (USD/BRL), and climatic conditions affecting crop yields. The company maintains hedging limits to manage FX exposure.
