Debt: Net debt reduced by BRL 3.8 billion in H2'25, leaving leverage at 0.4x and generating BRL 7.7 billion of cash savings over the next 5 years.
GMV: Record GMV of BRL 13 billion in Q4'25, up 8.7% year‑over‑year, with online sales accelerating (management cited +25% for the quarter).
Credit: Proprietary credit portfolio at BRL 6.6 billion, producing BRL 10 billion in 2025, with default around 8.6% (management says default remained stable and below 9%).
Profitability & cash: Adjusted EBITDA progress but mixed quarter — Elcio reported adjusted EBITDA of BRL 826 million (up 29% YoY); Renato highlighted operational cash flow of BRL 1.8 billion in Q4'25 and free cash flow generation.
Margins & mix: Gross margin reported at 31.5%; management flagged lower short‑term gross margin pressure from higher online mix but called this a conscious investment to scale digital + financial services.
Partnerships & channels: New partnership with Mercado Libre (live since Nov'25, <5% of company GMV) is already driving incremental traffic and assortment; 3P grew strongly in Q4 and is used to test assortment before converting to 1P.
Outlook / priorities: Management’s 2026 priority: convert balance sheet and operational gains into sustained positive net profit via financial expense reduction, capturing operational leverage and monetizing services/credit.
