Cyrela's Profit Surges In Q 3 2025 On Core Sales And Cury Windfall


(MENAFN- The Rio Times) Cyrela closed the third quarter with net income of R$ 609 million ($113 million), up 29% year on year and comfortably above market expectations.

Cash generation jumped to R$ 423 million ($78 million) from R$ 129 million ($24 million) a year earlier, helped by a R$ 251 million ($46 million) one-off gain from selling part of its stake in Cury, the low-to-mid-income builder it incubated.

Net revenue rose 5% to R$ 2.13 billion ($394 million), while adjusted net debt stood at 8.2% of adjusted equity, indicating a still-conservative balance sheet for a capital-intensive sector.

Strip out the Cury gain and the picture remains solid rather than spectacular. Gross margin held roughly flat, signaling disciplined pricing and cost control in a market still sensitive to rates.

The company launched 18 projects in the quarter with R$ 3.41 billion ($631 million) in launch value (ex-barter) and booked R$ 2.46 billion ($456 million) in net contracted sales, with 15 project deliveries totaling R$ 2.25 billion ($417 million).

Return on equity over the last twelve months reached 19.9%, consistent with a developer leaning on scale and brand to defend profitability.



Funding and inventory dynamics look manageable. About 86% of corporate debt is long-term with an average tenor near 3.6 years and a blended cost close to 98% of CDI, limiting refinancing stress.

Finished inventory at market value was R$ 2.07 billion ($383 million), concentrated in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro-large, liquid markets that historically absorb supply when product and pricing are right.

Two strategic levers underpin resilience: a portfolio spanning premium“Cyrela” towers and the affordable“Vivaz/MCMV” segment, and a financial-services arm (CashMe) that supports sales and client credit.

That mix helps smooth cycles without leaning on state largesse. The catch: headline profitability this quarter was flattered by the asset sale, a lever that cannot be pulled every season.

Why it matters: Brazil's housing cycle is defined by segmentation and credit costs. Developers with brand, scale, and disciplined balance sheets tend to outlast policy swings.

For investors and expats tracking the economy's pulse, watch cancellations, CDI- and IPCA-linked funding costs, and the pace of launches versus absorption-especially in São Paulo, where execution still decides who compounds and who stalls.
