Hidrovias do Brasil reported a weaker third quarter on Monday, November 9, 2026. According to UOL, net income fell 11 percent year over year to BRL 79 million, while net revenue declined 7 percent to BRL 653 million.

Profitability weakens in Brazil and Paraguay

Recurring adjusted EBITDA dropped 16 percent to BRL 303 million. Its margin narrowed to 46 percent, four percentage points below the year-earlier level.

Hidrovias attributed the deterioration to lower fuel-related and iron-ore operating conditions in Paraguay, as well as a negative currency effect. Lower costs and higher volumes in Santos supported the Brazilian operation, partly offsetting the pressure elsewhere.

Debt falls as investment slows

Net debt decreased 8 percent from the previous quarter to BRL 1.99 billion. Capital expenditure fell 21 percent year over year to BRL 55 million, with the company linking the reduction to lower maintenance needs after the sale of its coastal navigation business.

The results leave operating volume, margins and Paraguayan performance as key areas for investors to monitor. The lower debt balance provides some relief, but the earnings decline keeps attention on the balance between logistics demand, fuel costs and currency movements.
