- The company is expanding into higher value-added segments, with new contracts contributing approximately BRL250 million in H1 2026 and expected to exceed BRL600 million for the year, enhancing margins and market share in strategic markets like the US Class 8 truck segment.
- International market signals are positive, with a robust order book for H2 2026, including a significant recovery in North American truck production and increased demand for off-road applications in mining, construction, and data centers.
- Working capital management has improved, reducing the cash conversion cycle by 26 days year-over-year and generating BRL502 million in operational cash flow in H1 2026, supporting a 26% reduction in net debt.
- The company is actively pursuing commercial negotiations to recover exchange rate impacts, with expectations of recovering BRL15 million in Q3 2026 through contractual mechanisms and additional agreements with customers.

- The new CEO, Harro Burmann, has identified internal best practices and assets that can be standardized across operations, aiming to improve efficiency and value creation without significant new investments.
- Tupy SA (BSP:TUPY3) reported a 6% decrease in Q2 2026 revenue to BRL2.5 billion, driven by lower domestic sales volumes and currency appreciation, leading to a net loss of BRL11 million.
- The adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 6.3% in Q2 2026, with the traditional business margin at only 5%, impacted by lower production volumes and fixed cost dilution.
- Currency appreciation, particularly the Brazilian real and Mexican peso, had a negative impact of BRL104 million on EBITDA in the quarter, with recovery expected only in future quarters.
- The domestic market remains challenging, with high interest rates, increased default rates, and a pressured agribusiness sector negatively affecting demand for heavy vehicles and off-road applications.
- Leverage remains high at 4.0 times adjusted EBITDA, reflecting lower accumulated EBITDA, although the company expects to reduce it below 2.5 times by year-end.
- Labor costs increased significantly due to capacity expansion and annual adjustments, adding pressure on margins, partially offset by efficiency gains.
- The spare parts unit saw a 6% revenue decline, and the energy and decarbonization unit experienced an 18% drop in revenue due to lower generator set sales, despite growth in proprietary engines.
