Q & A Highlights
Q: How do you envisage the trend of selling portfolio and the gap in terms of sales of receivables and transfers? Also, how do you foresee cash generation throughout 2026? A: Ricardo Rodrigues, CFO, explained that there is less need to sell receivables due to strong cash generation. The company aims to maintain a net zero balance by transferring previous transactions. For 2026, cash generation is expected to align closely with net income, with some quarterly volatility but overall positive conversion of cash to profit.
Q: Could you provide more detail about the strategy for SG&A expenses and whether the current level is sustainable? A: Ricardo Rodrigues, CFO, noted that SG&A expenses are expected to rise nominally but at a slower rate than revenue growth. The company aims to continue diluting SG&A expenses, with the potential to maintain or improve the current level of efficiency.
Q: What is the outlook for Resia's project sales and the impact of leasing rates and cancellations? A: Rafael Menin, CEO, stated that Resia's projects are progressing well, with several properties nearing stabilization. The company is strategically timing sales to maximize value, despite offers being available for all assets. The focus is on choosing the best moment for sales to optimize returns.
Q: How do you see the impact of the new master plan in Belo Horizonte on MRV's operations? A: Eduardo Fischer, CEO, highlighted that the changes in Belo Horizonte's master plan are positive, allowing for more development opportunities. The company has started acquiring land in anticipation of these changes, which are expected to benefit operations from 2028 onwards.
Q: What are the expectations for the RAV margin and its convergence with the reported margin? A: Ricardo Rodrigues, CFO, mentioned that the RAV margin has room to grow from the current 34% to align with new sales margins at 35%. The goal is to bridge the gap between the reported margin and the RAV margin over time.
Q: How do you view the sales pace and launch strategy for 2026? A: Eduardo Fischer, CEO, expressed optimism about the sales pace, noting a strong start to the year. The company plans to increase launches in 2026, supported by favorable changes in the FGTS program and improved sales efficiency.
Q: What is the impact of the income tax reform on MRV's market and inventory? A: Eduardo Fischer, CEO, explained that the reform, which exempts income up to BRL5,000 from taxation, is expected to positively impact MRV's market by increasing the pool of potential buyers. This could lead to faster inventory turnover and improved sales.
Q: How is MRV addressing the potential impact of the six-day work schedule change and rising freight costs? A: Eduardo Fischer, CEO, acknowledged the potential impact of the work schedule change on labor costs and emphasized the industry's efforts to mitigate this. Regarding freight costs, he noted that any impact would be marginal and manageable through increased productivity.
