An announcement from Loma Negra Compania Industrial Argentina Sociedad Anonima ( (LOMA) ) is now available.
On March 5, 2026, Loma Negra reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, showing weaker profitability despite broadly stable or rising volumes. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, net revenue slipped 1.7% year-on-year to Ps. 225.2 billion, while adjusted EBITDA dropped 33.4% and net profit plunged nearly 80%, pressured by lower margins and adverse financial results.

Management highlighted a gradual but fragile recovery in Argentina’s economy and cement demand, a shift toward bulk cement for larger projects, higher leverage with net debt/EBITDA at 1.47x, and the completion of a new 25kg bag rollout and a fifth sustainability report as steps to support long-term value and industry modernization.
