(MENAFN- The Rio Times) Brazil's economy showed three different engines at work this quarter. Engie Brasil, a major private power producer, grew profit on the back of new wind and solar assets despite softer electricity prices.

Totvs, the country's leading enterprise-software provider, widened margins as subscriptions scaled and a retail tech purchase deepened its reach. Rede D'Or, Brazil's largest hospital network, delivered stronger profitability even as sales came in shy of market hopes.

Together they sketch a simple picture: investment-heavy infrastructure is paying off with higher volumes, digital services are compounding, and healthcare demand is translating into operating leverage. Note: these are July–September (Q3 2025) results.
Engie Brasil - Q3 2025
What it does: generates and sells electricity (hydro, wind, solar) and builds transmission lines. Net income rose 9.8% to R$ 738 million ($137 million) as net revenue climbed 31.8% to R$ 3.3 billion ($611 million).

The company sold more power-10,308 GWh versus 8,942 GWh a year earlier-thanks to new assets such as the Serra do Assuruá wind complex and the Assú Sol solar cluster, and progress on the Asa Branca transmission system.

The average selling price slipped, reflecting a power surplus, but mix and volume offset it. Costs increased to R$ 1.84 billion ($341 million), driven by Asa Branca construction of R$ 286 million ($53 million). EBITDA reached R$ 1.87 billion ($346 million).

The story behind the story: expansion is working, but it is not free-financial expenses rose to R$ 566 million ($105 million), and net debt stands at R$ 24.5 billion ($4.54 billion). Execution on new assets must keep outrunning the higher cost of capital.


Totvs - Q3 2025
What it does: mission-critical business software (ERP, SaaS) for Brazilian companies.
Net income was R$ 248.7 million ($46 million), adjusted EBITDA R$ 404.8 million ($75 million), and revenue R$ 1.56 billion ($289 million), beating consensus on profit and EBITDA.

The core engine is recurring subscription revenue and tighter cost control, which lifted margins. In July, Totvs bought retail-focused Linx for R$ 3.0 billion ($556 million), consolidating leadership in point-of-sale and commerce software.

The story behind the story: as more of Brazil 's mid-market digitizes, Totvs monetizes cross-sell and reduces churn. The watch-item is integration discipline and continued product investment to fend off global rivals while keeping pricing power.
Rede D'Or - Q3 2025
What it does: private hospitals and oncology services across Brazil.
Net profit rose to R$ 1.54 billion ($285 million), with EBITDA at R$ 3.23 billion ($598 million).

Net revenue grew 10.7% to R$ 14.4 billion ($2.67 billion), a touch below street forecasts, but efficiency, case-mix and scale improvements expanded margins faster than sales.

The story behind the story: disciplined capacity additions and process gains are compounding returns, even without a blockbuster top-line beat.

Key sensitivities remain payer mix, reimbursement cycles and regulatory pricing. If volumes and acuity hold, the margin trajectory suggests more operating leverage to come.
