Message from the CEO
"During the fourth quarter, the operating environment continued to present challenges, mainly in Argentina. In response, we maintained strict financial discipline and focused on efficiency and productivity across both costs and expenses, while developing new operational capabilities to strengthen competitiveness and concentrate on variables within our control.
In addition, we adjusted product portfolio strategies by geography to defend and/or capture market share, while safeguarding margins. Disciplined execution also allowed us to maintain healthy inventory levels and strengthen working capital performance.
The services segment maintained its positive trajectory, improved profitability, and gained greater strategic relevance within the portfolio. At the same time, the United States continued its recovery process and closed the year with a positive EBITDA margin.
Finally, we maintained strict cash flow control and optimized the operating cycle, which allowed us to preserve a solid balance sheet, reduce net financial debt, and improve leverage levels. As always, we continued strengthening user-centric solutions aimed at improving quality of life and people's daily relationship with water."

Q4'25 vs Q4'24 Results
-- Net Sales amounted to $2,829 million, representing a 3.9% increase
compared to Q4'24, driven by the strong performance of the services
segment, where sales grew 83.4%. Within the products segment, there was a
recovery in Mexico and solid performance in other countries; however,
this was not enough to offset the decline in Argentina, resulting in a
3.4% decrease.
-- Gross profit closed at $1,083 million, with a margin of 38.3%,
representing an expansion of 520 bps, driven by greater operational
efficiencies, workforce restructuring, and strict discipline in the cost
structure.
-- Operating income reached $161 million, compared to an operating loss of
$148 million in Q4'24, This reflects a reduction in operating expenses
and the implementation of efficiency initiatives that strengthened
workforce capabilities and reduced expenses as a percentage of sales from
38.5% to 32.6%.
-- EBITDA closed at $366 million, and EBITDA margin stood at 12.9%,
representing an expansion of 1,080 bps, derived from an improvement in
gross margin and a reduction in operating expenses.
-- Net income amounted to $91 million, driven by the improvement in
operating income and lower financial expenses, resulting from a benefit
related to the recognition of hyperinflation in Argentina.
Cumulative Results 2025 vs 2024
-- Net sales amounted to $11,080 million, a 1.1% decrease, reflecting a 4.6%
decline in product sales, which was partially offset by a 40.5% increase
in the services segment.
-- Gross profit reached $4,532 million, representing a 6.0% year-over-year
decrease. Gross margin closed at 40.9%, a 210 bps contraction, mainly due
to lower sales volumes in Argentina amid a stagnant construction sector,
as well as weaker product sales in Mexico during the first nine months of
the year.
-- Operating income reached $634 million, representing a 5.1% decrease
compared to 2024, as a result of gross margin pressure derived from lower
sales, which impacted operating leverage. However, strict expense
control-- with expenses decreasing as a percentage of sales from 37.1% to
35.2%--partially mitigated this impact.
-- EBITDA closed at $1,320 million and, despite a 1.1% decrease in sales, it
stood 0.7% above the previous year, with an EBITDA margin of 11.9%.
-- Net result was a loss of $42 million, reflecting lower operating income
and higher financial expenses driven by interest payments, foreign
exchange impact, and inflation in Argentina.
-- Net Financial Debt / EBITDA leverage closed at 2.7x, resulting from an
8.9% year-over-year reduction in net financial debt.
-- During the period, CapEx amounted to $488 million, primarily focused on
the services segment in Mexico, mostly allocated to bebbia and water
treatment and recycling plants, in line with the Company's growth
strategy.
