Daniel Rojas Vielman's questions to Loma Negra Compania Industrial Argentina Sociedad Anonima (LOMA) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Daniel Rojas Vielman from Bank of America requested more detail on the pricing situation, asking if it was driven by a strategic shift in a low-inflation environment or purely by competitors not raising prices. He also asked about the potential impact of the government's announced public works and privatization program.
Answer
Diego Jalón, Manager of Investor Relations, confirmed it was a combination of both factors. The sudden drop in inflation altered pricing strategies in terms of amount and timing, and as price adjustments became more spaced out, competitive timing differences impacted the market. On public works, he stated that while there is significant potential, the necessary frameworks for private investment will take time, making a large impact in H2 2025 unlikely but presenting a strong driver for 2026 and beyond.
