Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call conveyed a generally positive operational momentum: consolidated EBITDA grew ~5% and several segments delivered record or near-record EBITDA (cement, logistics), free cash flow turned positive (BRL 808 million), and management is executing liability-management and asset-sale plans (binding offers for cement; nonbinding interest in infrastructure). Offsetting risks include mining revenue pressure from freight and FX, persistent import competition for steel (circumvention risk), remaining P15 CapEx (~BRL 4 billion) and a small increase in leverage (3.36x to 3.49x). On balance, the progress on cash generation, inventory reduction, segment recoveries (steel and cement) and capital markets actions materially outweigh the headwinds reported.Company Guidance
Consolidated EBITDA Growth
Consolidated EBITDA rose 5% (quarter-on-quarter), driven by better operational performance across steel, mining, cement, logistics and energy; management highlights diversified asset base as key to offsetting sector-specific pressures.
Positive Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow was positive BRL 808 million in Q2'26, a meaningful reversion after prior negative quarters, supported by working capital release and fundraising actions.
Steel: Sales and Margin Recovery
Steel sales grew ~17% in the quarter with domestic market sales up ~10% year-on-year and export volumes at the highest level since Q1'23 (sales +36% year-to-date in some comments). Steel EBITDA margin returned to double digits (~10.5% in Q2) with management targeting 15–17% in H2 given continued import containment and price recovery.
Cement: Record Profitability and Revenue Growth
Cement delivered a second consecutive record EBITDA (~BRL 420 million) with margin >30%. Net revenue grew ~14% quarter-on-quarter and ~10% year-on-year; management cited ~17–20% price recovery and FOB levels referenced around BRL 360–380.
Logistics: Strong Operational Performance
Logistics recorded the second-best EBITDA in company history with segment margins around 45% for the quarter and net revenue growth of ~3.1% driven by multimodal transport and seasonality (drier period).
Mining: High Sales Despite Shutdown and Strong Profitability
Mining achieved the fourth-best sales result in the segment's history and recorded two of the group's best monthly performances (May and June) despite a 15-day shutdown; EBITDA margin remained resilient above 30%.
Energy: One-Off Retroactive Revenue Recognition
Energy benefited from a retroactive revenue recognition related to the Jacui Hydroelectric Plant (previously suspended), producing an extraordinary boost to Q2 results and improving near-term cash outcomes (management expects normalization in subsequent quarters).
Working Capital Reduction and Inventory Targets
Company reported a significant quarter-on-quarter reduction in working capital (inventory-driven), targeting further inventory reduction (management cited a goal to reduce inventory from ~BRL 3 billion toward ~BRL 1 billion and suggested potential additional BRL 1 billion cash release by year-end if targets met).
Capital Markets Execution and Liability Management
Completed a new 2030 bond transaction and executed bridge/roll transactions and some buybacks, enabling the company to push ~BRL/USD 1 billion of maturities forward and extend maturities; management reiterated active use of asset sales (binding offers for cement; nonbinding offers expected for infrastructure) to accelerate deleveraging.
ESG and Social Progress
ESG ratings improved: FTSE from 3.7 to 4.2, EcoVadis from 74 to 80 (one point shy of gold), Sustainalytics recognition as Industry Leader for CSN and CMIN; compliance and investments in dam safety and BRL 48 million+ invested by CSN Foundation in social programs.
CapEx and P15 Progress
CapEx increased 26% quarter-on-quarter and ~6% year-on-year as work advances on the P15 mining expansion; P15 remains on schedule with management guidance for completion by end-2027 ramping in 2028; remaining P15 CapEx cited around BRL 4 billion.
