Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Q2 2026
Earnings Call Date:Jul 21, 2026|
% Change Since:
|
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presented a predominantly positive performance: record revenue, volume-driven consumer product growth, strong gross profit and EBITDA expansion, meaningful structural cost savings and healthy balance sheet metrics. Challenges include a decline in Away from Home and exports, higher SG&A from strategic reinvestment, short-term raw-material/derivative cost pressures and an aggressive promotional environment that will make Q3 more challenging. Management expects cost pressures to ease toward year-end, continued Consumer Products leadership in H2, growth in Away from Home later in the year, and progress on strategic initiatives (private label and Kenvue Mexico).
Company Guidance
Management guided to stronger revenue growth in H2 FY2026, led by Consumer Products with Away‑from‑Home expected to return to growth later in the year and parent‑roll sales to remain lower but become less of a drag as internal tissue use moderates; they cautioned that raw‑material fundamentals point to lower dollar prices versus last year but that oil‑derivative costs will be higher sequentially and year‑over‑year in Q3, with a return to underlying market fundamentals expected by year‑end. To offset near‑term cost pressure they will accelerate price realization, pursue operational efficiencies and continue the cost‑reduction program that delivered ~MXN 450 million in Q2; they reiterated they expect to remain within their EBITDA‑margin target range in Q3 and to improve into Q4 and 2027. For context Q2 results were: sales MXN 14.4 billion (+2.7% YoY), total volume +3.1%, Consumer Products +5.2% (volume +4.0%, price/mix +1.2%), Away‑from‑Home −5.1%, exports −11.1%; gross profit +11.9% (margin 41.6%), operating profit +12.2% (margin 23.7%), EBITDA MXN 3.9 billion (+9.6%, 27.1% margin), net income MXN 2.0 billion (+9%), EPS MXN 0.68 (+9.7%), cash MXN 19.6 billion, net debt/EBITDA 0.9x and EBITDA-to-net‑interest coverage 9x.
Record Quarterly Revenue
Net sales of MXN 14.4 billion in Q2 2026, a 2.7% increase year-over-year and an all-time high.
Volume-Led Growth in Consumer Products
Total volume up 3.1% overall; Consumer Products grew 5.2% with a 4.0% volume increase and 1.2% price/mix growth.
Strong Profitability Expansion
Gross profit increased 11.9% with gross margin at 41.6%; operating profit rose 12.2% and operating margin was 23.7% (50 bps sequential improvement).
Robust EBITDA Performance
EBITDA of MXN 3.9 billion, up 9.6% year-over-year; EBITDA margin 27.1%, above the long-term target range and improved 40 bps sequentially (13th consecutive quarter within/above range).
Significant Cost Savings Delivered
Cost reduction program yielded approximately MXN 450 million of savings in the quarter, driven by global fiber contracting, sourcing changes, alternative fibers, product redesigns and logistics efficiencies; cost of goods sold decreased 3%.
Net Income and EPS Growth
Net income of MXN 2.0 billion, up 9.0% year-over-year; earnings per share MXN 0.68, up 9.7%.
Strong Balance Sheet and Leverage Metrics
Cash position of MXN 19.6 billion as of June 30; net debt-to-EBITDA ratio 0.9x and EBITDA-to-net-interest coverage ~9x; management states financing for potential transactions should not be an issue.
Progress on Strategic Initiatives
Advancing KCM plus transformation (innovation, commercial execution, cost structure); private label business scaling (expected ~MXN 800 million this year, ~2x prior year); active progress on Kenvue Mexico opportunity with more color expected in Q3.
