- Gerdau reported Q4 2025 EBITDA of BRL 10.1 billion, a 7% decrease from 2024, and adjusted net income of BRL 3.4 billion for 2025, down 21% year-over-year, impacted by BRL 2 billion in non-recurring impairment losses in Brazil units.
- The company generated BRL 1.4 billion in free cash flow in Q4 2025, resulting in a positive annual cash flow generation of BRL 394 million for 2025, and ended the year with a leverage of 0.76 times net debt over EBITDA.
- CapEx for 2025 was BRL 6.1 billion, with a guidance of BRL 4.7 billion for 2026, representing a BRL 1.4 billion reduction.
- Gerdau paid out BRL 2.4 billion in dividends and share buybacks throughout 2025 and announced a new share buyback program for approximately 2.9% of outstanding shares, equivalent to BRL 1.2 billion.
- The outlook for North America remains positive with stable steel consumption and strong order backlogs, while Brazil faces a challenging environment with increased competition, though moderate demand growth is expected and a double-digit EBITDA margin for the full year 2026 is considered achievable with the Miguel Burnier project ramp-up.
- Gerdau's Q4 2025 results showed solid performance in North America, including record shipments in December 2025, driven by strong steel consumption and reduced imports. Conversely, the Brazilian market was impacted by a record 7.5% increase in steel imports in 2025, affecting profitability.

However, the new Miguel Burnier sustainable mining platform is expected to begin operations soon, significantly reducing production costs at the Ouro Branco unit and contributing to improved competitiveness in Brazil.
