1/ EBITDA for any period is defined as consolidated net income (loss)
excluding i) depreciation and amortization, ii) total net comprehensive
financing result (which is comprised of net interest expense, exchange gain or
loss, monetary position gain or loss and other Financing costs), iii) other
expenses net, iv) income tax and statutory employee profit sharing and v)
equity in income (loss) of associated companies. EBITDA should not be
considered as an alternate measure of net income or operating income, as
determined on a consolidated basis using amounts derived from statements of
operations prepared in accordance with MFRS, or as an indicator of operating
performance or to cash flows from operating activity as a measure of
liquidity. EBITDA is not a recognized term under MFRS or U.S. GAAP and does
not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating
performance or to cash flows from operating activity as a measure of
liquidity.
Our consolidated net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, was Ps.3,902.3 million (US$216.7 million), compared to a net income of Ps.2,058.8 million in the same period of 2024. This change is primarily due to an increase in copper prices and the mix of products sold.
Revenues
Our net revenues for the twelve months of 2025 increased 20.6% to Ps.35,158.7 million (US$1,888.8 million) from Ps.29,146.9 million in the same period of 2024. This increase was driven mainly by the rise in copper prices which affected directly our final selling price in our copper products segment and the production of other non-copper related, with a better sales margin.
Our costs and revenues follow copper prices very closely since the market practice is to pass on to the buyer changes in raw material prices.
Our sales are primarily to customers engaged in commercial, industrial and residential construction, and their related maintenance and renovation activities. We also sell to customers engaged in electrical power generation, transmission and distribution and to the sectors of gas, water and air conduction in Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR).
Our revenues consist mainly of sales of copper-based products (tubing, wire, cable and alloys) and electrical products.
By country of production, approximately 56.4% of our revenues in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, came from products manufactured in Mexico and the remaining 43.6% from products manufactured in the U.S.
In terms of sales by region during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we derived approximately 49.0% of our revenues from sales to customers in the United States, 48.3% from customers in Mexico and 2.7% from the rest of the world ("ROW").
Cost of sales
Our cost of sales in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, increased by 14.9% to Ps.26,189.6 million (US$1,454.3 million) from Ps. 22,789.4 million in the same period of 2024. As percentage of revenues, cost of sales was 74.5% and 78.2% respectively.
We reduce our cost base through several initiatives, including plant scheduling, raw material handling, and overall manufacturing overhead costs. According to our accounting policies, we make an inventory valuation at average purchase price. In the case of copper cathodes, an aftermath adjustment is required due to the quotation period agreed with the suppliers (M+1). This initiative allows us to hedge purchases for 30 days at no additional cost. The adjustment is recorded to the cost of sales in the month in which it occurs.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, increased 41.1% to Ps.8,969.1 million (US$498.1 million) from Ps.6,357.5 million in the same period of 2024. As percentage of sales, gross profit in 2025 was 25.5% vs 21.8% in 2024.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Our selling and administrative expenses in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, increased 16.4% to Ps.3,572.3 million from Ps.3,069.7 in the same period of 2024.
Operating Income
Our operating income in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, increased 64.1% to Ps.5,396.8 million (U.S. $290.8 million) from an operating income of Ps.3,287.8 in the same period of 2024. This result is mainly due to the growth in Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expenses, which were less than proportional to growth in sales.
EBITDA
In the twelve months ending December 31, 2025 our EBITDA increased 52.9% to Ps.5,819.4 million (or US$323.2 million), from Ps.3,710.1 million in the same period of 2024. The corresponding depreciation and amortization figures are Ps.422.6 million for January to December 2025 and Ps.422.3 million for the same period of 2024.
