- Revenue and adjusted EBITDA declined in the third quarter as foreign-exchange effects and softer Aftermarket demand weighed on performance.
- MAHLE Metal Leve plans to take a 70 percent stake in Arco Climatização and will distribute gross interest on equity in December.
MAHLE Metal Leve reported a weaker third quarter on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with net profit falling 15.9 percent to BRL 157.5 million, according to UOL. The result came as net revenue declined 2.4 percent to BRL 1.41 billion and adjusted EBITDA dropped 7.7 percent to BRL 286.0 million.
Margins cushion softer demand
Adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 20.3 percent in the quarter. The company attributed pressure on foreign-currency revenue to the stronger Brazilian real during the first nine months of 2026, while customers delayed some Aftermarket orders after proposed tax changes in Sao Paulo.
Net debt reached BRL 848.4 million, up BRL 150.0 million from December 31, 2025. Capital expenditure totaled BRL 42.0 million during the quarter, according to the UOL report.
Acquisition and shareholder payout
MAHLE Metal Leve notified shareholders of Arco Climatização on November 11 that it would exercise an option to acquire a stake. The expected holding after completion is 70 percent of the company, expanding MAHLE Metal Leve's activities beyond its established automotive-components base.
The board also approved gross interest on equity of BRL 103.9 million for the period from January 1 through September 30, 2026. Payment is scheduled for December 18, 2026.
