Earnings Release
Message from Management
The Company started 2023 with a significant recovery in its operational and financial performance, recording Net Income of R$22 million in 1Q23, an increase of 57% from 4Q22.
In 1Q23, the Company recorded Net Revenue of R$296 million and Gross Profit of R$84 million, up 6% from 4Q22, and gross margin of 28%, 3 p.p. higher than in the previous quarter. Recurring EBITDA totaled R$42 million, representing significant growth of 86%, while Recurring EBITDA margin was 14%, gaining 7 p.p. in relation to 4Q22.
Eternit's healthy performance was chiefly driven by sales volume in the fiber-cement segment, which totaled 164,000 tons in 1Q23, up 4% from 1Q22, and by chrysotile exports, which increased 14% from the same period in 2022.
Construction work on the greenfield project at the new fiber-cement roofing panels unit in Caucaia, Ceará, is in progress and the unit is slated for startup in 2H23. The unit's initial capacity is 6,500 tons per month, with estimated investments totaling R$165 million, of which nearly R$81 million have already been spent.
Continuing the development of solar roofing tiles technology, in 1Q23 the Company sold 42 kWp of concrete solar tiles, and advanced in the implementation of pilot projects for fiber-cement solar roofing tiles, which included the start of installation of a 300 kWp photovoltaic generator at its new fiber-cement plant in Ceará.
As part of the Court-Supervised Reorganization Plan, the Company paid R$1.8 million to Class II and III bankruptcy creditors. As such, at the end of March 2023, Eternit's bankruptcy-related debt was approximately R$38 million, of which around R$32 million refer to the loan taken from Banco da Amazônia to build the polypropylene fiber unit in Manaus. To conclude the Court-Supervised Reorganization, the Company is awaiting the decision on its appeals against the divergent decision at the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) claiming the reestablishment of the conditions for payment to labor creditors established in the Plan approved at the general meeting of creditors.
This quarter, due to the resignation of certain members of the Board of Directors, the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting held on March 21 elected, unanimously and without reservations, Fausto Ribeiro and Richard Doern as directors, with the former also occupying the position of Chairman of the Board.
Finally, the Eternit Board of Directors Meeting held on May 9, 2023 approved the payment of interest on equity of around R$4.8 million related to the 1Q23 results, which represents gross remuneration of R$0.78 per share, and should be paid on September 29, 2023, in accordance with the Company's Policy on Dividends and Interest on Equity.

2022, for a total decline of 6.5% in 1Q23, after | |

Despite the year-on-year decline in revenues across the sector in 1Q23, ABRAMAT[1] predicts sales growth of 2% in 2023, mainly driven by the resumption of construction works in the recent real estate cycle and by the Federal Government's initiatives as part of the "My Home, My Life" program.
