we will now show you a video on KBB and building information modeling that uses three d digital models to help us with the projection of KBEBA products, feeding up the precision during the process. And doing this, we will turn the floor over to Mr. Bernardo Nogueira to begin the presentations on twenty twenty four results. Have you heard about BIM? Have you heard about the acronym BIM, Build Information Modeling? It is a methodology that has revolutionized the way in which we protect and build storage units. It helps us during the entire life cycle of the venture. Follow-up on the Kepler Weber social media because we are going to be speaking more about this methodology. Good morning, everyone. It is a great pleasure to be with you to present the results for the fourth quarter twenty twenty four and the year to date. The year 2024 was marked by significant challenges such as the rise in interest rates and the increase in the cost of agricultural input. However, Kepler Weber demonstrated its resiliency by presenting solid results, maintaining the consistent growth trajectory of recent years. As discussed in the last video conference, the opportunity to balance the semesters proved effective with robust results. In the first half, we recorded double digit growth with an increase of 17.2% vis a vis the first half of twenty three, while in the second half of the year, net revenue remained practically stable. As a result, net revenue grew 6.3% in the year. Adjusted EBITDA totaled 334,800,000.0 in the period with a margin of 20.8. And adjusted net profit reached 200,900,000.0. The fourth quarter showed a reduction of 8.4% vis a vis the fourth quarter twenty three, reaching an adjusted EBITDA of 82,300,000.0 with a net profit of 52,000,000 with a focus on growth and adaptation. We successfully pursued our strategy of diversifying our segments. In 2024, the company's net revenue grew by 6.3% with four of its five segments showing sustainable growth, especially in International Business, 79% and Ports and Terminals, 20%. During the fourth quarter twenty twenty four, the company saw an 8.4 dip in revenue compared to the fourth quarter twenty twenty three, with falls in agro industry and ports and terminals, which have a higher concentration in business. Despite this, the aftermarket and service segment stood out with a growth of 8.5%, a 10% increase in the order volume and almost 25% in the number of ProTher customers, reflecting the success of innovation initiatives such as Biocap and the sales of Seletron machines. The company will continue to focus on expanding its business anchored on diversification of its segments. On Slide five, I share some important projects delivered in 2024, highlighting our operation and quality of delivery. We also highlight the renewal of our order book with 16 new contracts in the quarter, totaling more than 144.5 in new sales. I will now hand over the floor to CFO, Renato, to present EBITDA and other financial indicators. Good morning, everyone. Thank you very much, Bernardo. It is a pleasure to be here for the first time to share the results of the company's economic and financial performance in the fourth quarter twenty twenty four and accumulated results for the year. We reached $333,400,000 in adjusted EBITDA, representing a growth of 3.6% vis a vis 2023 with a margin of 20.8% despite the extensive macroeconomic challenges. This performance reflects the effectiveness of our operational strategy and the robustness of our business model main managing to keep our SG and A in line with inflation and significant expenses at ProSair. In the fourth quarter twenty twenty four, we generated $82,300,000 in adjusted EBITDA with a margin of 19.9% in the quarter, a drop compared to our fourth quarter twenty three, given the performance of the revenue throughout the year. In terms of CapEx, investments totaled 47,300,000. Of these, 37% were earmarked for increasing manufacturing capacity, 35% for renovations and support, 17% for IT products, and 11% for new products. These investments demonstrate the company's desire for growth sustained by excellent governance anchored by IT and highlights the launch of new products. I would like to speak about high availability of cash, which ended 2024 with a gross balance of BRL $425,000,000 and net cash BRL114.4 million. Despite the high dividend paid on Slide 10, we look at ROIC, which reached 34.2 percent at the end of 2024, remaining at high levels compared to our peers. The drop is due to a tax increase provided in law 14,789. Excluding this impact, the indicator would have remained at similar levels to those recorded previously. With regard to dividends, we paid out $28,400,000 made on 11/08/2024. This payment reflects an attractive payment of 72% in 2024 with a dividend yield of 9.1% for the year, demonstrating a high and consistent return to our shareholders. With this, I end my part and turn the floor back to Bernardo. Thank you, Bernardo. I would like to share with you some of the Kepler Bebbers development and innovation initiatives. Among the highlights is the development of new products such as the new Selectron line and the launch of BioCab in April, generating approximately 20,000,000 BRLs in revenue this year. We also launched our online sales platform, KBStore, which offers a practical and secure shopping experience via the website with a wide range of products and deliveries throughout Brazil. The KV store is a key part of our strategy to bring the company closer to the customers. This initiative aims to create an ecosystem that facilitates access to our products and their maintenance services. In December 2024, we reached a historic milestone with three zero six projects in progress simultaneously, which demonstrates the enormous efficiency of the Orange team. Before going on to questions and answers, I would like to reinforce recent achievements. First of all, I would like to thank the Kepler team for their consistent delivery of results. Throughout the year, we achieved annual net revenue growth of 6.3%. Kepler's diversification and operations in different industry sectors once again took out, especially in ports and terminals and international business. Finally, I would like to point out that we ended another quarter with solid net cash even after the payment of 148,700,000.0 BRL in dividends over the course of 2024. Net cash ended the year at a hundred and 14,400,000.0. The outlook for 2025, a forecast of a record twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five harvest. The implementation of the KV-two 30 plan, strengthening leadership through high quality products and excellent service, expanding the addressable market with new sources of revenue and generating value through the intelligent use of data connecting the entire agribusiness chain. For 2025, given the challenging scenario with rising interest rates, inflation and costs, our focus will be on further optimizing process efficiency, aligning ourselves with the lean culture. We expect a year marked by seasonality in our segment with the second quarter that will be very positive. We will now go on to the question and answer session. We remind you that should you wish to pose a question, click on the raise hand icon. When you are announced, there will be a request to unmute your microphone. You should unmute the microphone to pose your question. For those who wish to send in their questions in writing, please use the link available in the chat. Because of the high number of questions we normally receive and to respond to our participants, we will answer the questions in groups according to a preannounced topic. If your question comes after we have announced the topic, you will receive a response from the IR team through email. The first question is from Mr. Kiefer Kennedy from Citibank. You may proceed. Well, good morning, Renato Bernardo. First of all, to congratulate you for the year Despite the challenges that are out of the control of the company, your internal actions and management have managed excellent results. We have two questions at our end. First of all, that accommodation of margin that we saw in the fourth quarter, you explained briefly what happened. I would like to have more details. It's interesting to observe that differently from other years, there is a break with a pattern. There was a more turbulent period of the company in 2016. And we have been observing a rise of margin quarter on quarter. I would better like to understand this margin accommodation and why you have that break of a standard or pattern and what we should think going forward to 2025, which is a company context, the orders for the company, perhaps the ability to raise your prices. You did speak about seasonality and a second half of the year that will be more robust and promising. Secondly, I'd like to ask about working capital in the inventory line item. We saw an increase vis a vis the third quarter, especially in raw materials. I would like to gain an understanding in terms of what we should expect because of this inventory increase? If it is a new standard of the company, are you preparing for future orders? This would be very helpful for us. Thank you. Well, thank you for the question, and it's a pleasure to have you here with us. I'll begin answering, and then Renato will speak about working capital. What we observed in 2024 was communicated in the last quarter. In 2024, we had seasonality 45%, fifty five%, a very strong first half of the year accelerating growth, a good distribution during the year and in the second half of the year, somewhat below, especially in the fourth quarter. Now which is the macro situation? And I'm going to repeat well known issues, minus 10% in harvest, a break in commodities, of course, a dip in the income of all of the Brazilian agribusiness and interest rates on the rise with the scarcity of credit. This generated additional pressure in the fourth quarter. And you used the term accomodation. And we see that accomodation being prolonged during the first half of twenty twenty five. Our order book is equal or superior to that of last year as in January and February, and the provision that we have for March indicate that in the second quarter, we will return to the levels we had in 2024. Of course, we're going to match what we did in 2024 in the first half of the year, but we're going to catch up on that difference that we perceived in the fourth quarter. It's seasonality. And in 2025, we will go back to the traditional levels of our business, '35 to '65. Now to summarize, for the year 2025, we're working very closely to our customers. What do we perceive? The resumption of a record harvest, 15% more in the soybean harvest. It has been confirmed. It's not nearly an expectation. The price of soybeans advancing in a stable way as it has been in the last twelve months, an increase in the corn price of approximately 20%, which will generate higher incomes because of the full harvest. Our outlook for 2025 at present is have a year of growth. Not only is this an ambition based on the data, it's also based on our CRM on the incoming business that is much higher than it was at this point last year. So sales are quite dynamic. We did have a certain slowdown. There was a concern with the harvest plan, but along with this plan, we have great projects, an increase in the ethanol industry. And we see that all of this will speed up during the year. And the year 2025, our centennial year, we see that everything will be surpassed. I will give the floor to Renato to answer about working capital. Good morning, Kiefer. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for the question. Now to support the answers made by Bernardo in the fourth quarter, we did have a problem with margins, perhaps because of the higher interest rate. We also had greater credit restriction. Besides the higher interest rate, there is a restrictive credit situation in the market. It's important to highlight that despite the drop in the fourth quarter of volume where we delivered $82,000,000 of EBITDA, this is a significant result for the company. And to answer your question, Keith, about working capital, we have an increase of inventory when you look at December 24, $4,045,000,000. All of this because we have a very leveled portfolio, higher, three to 5%. So this explains why we had a higher inventory because in times we have a backlog that is three to 5% higher than last year. Now we're going to be working at the same level of working capital that we had in twenty four, forty five to fifty days. This is what we have done in the last few years. So structurally, we don't expect any change in terms of working capital vis a vis 2024. Thank you. Our next question comes from Fernanda Urbano from XP. You may proceed, ma'am. Well, good morning, everybody. Thank you for taking our questions. We have two. The first is a follow-up on profitability simply to better understand the drivers of that margin accommodation. You remark here and in the release about a difference in the product mix this quarter. Perhaps you could share more details about that mix and which are the product, the type of product that may have increased this less favorable mix? And how can we interpret that lower margin? Is that an effective pricing, costs in dollars increasing and less favorable demand environment to the end customer. So we would like to better understand the mix and pricing. The second question is a follow-up on the harvest plan and the possibilities of funding vis a vis the increase in interest rate. How much of your revenues is exposed to those funding lines? And if you have an initial estimate for the harvest plan, that will be announced in the middle of the year. Oh, Fernando, thank you. I will work along with Renato to respond to your questions. I'm going to speak about profitability. It's a sensitive point for our customers. It refers to their profitability. The agricultural chain suffered significantly during 2024 because of lower harvest, lower prices and alongside with it's an increase in interest rates with pressure on pricing. When a customer comes to buy new property or equipment, they're going to insist more on discounts so that it fits within their budget. And of course, all of this exerts pressure on our margins directly. Kepler Weber is a leader. We have double the share of the second runner. Customers prefer Kepler Weber, but in years of difficulty with accounts, they'll think about their moment of purchase. And so that has also exerted pressure on our margins. We see that this scenario is changing, especially in the second half of twenty twenty four with more attractive prices throughout the chain, not only with the farmers. I will give the floor to Renato, who will speak about the harvest plant, Plano Safra, simply to corroborate what was said by Bernardo. There are some factors impacting profitability. If we compare the fourth quarter 'twenty three and fourth quarter 'twenty four, we had a drop of 10%. Doubtlessly, this decreases our revenues percentially, and we have the interest rate market with an impact as well. Now here comes the issue of the harvest plan with an impact on revenues. Although our revenues do depend up to 15% of IPT on the harvest plan, It shows that we're less dependent on the harvest plan that we were years ago, but anyway, it does represent 15%. Now what we see with the harvest plan is that it is very important for the entire chain. It is important for Kepler Weber. But well, when we look at harvest plan of 8,000,000, there was a release of 2,300,000.0, representing 25. If we compare this with past years, we can look at last year. This release was 60% to 70%. This also exerts pressure on our profitability. We do have that dependency of 15%. We're quite protected. We have diversified our businesses. Some of our businesses do not depend on this harvest plan, and the diversification acts as a protection vis a vis the harvest plan and the IPCA. Thank you. That was very clear. Thank you. For those who wish to send their questions in writing, please use the link available in the chat. Because of the high number of questions we normally receive and to be able to respond to all participants, Questions will be answered grouped together according to the topic that has been announced. Please hold while we pull for questions. Our next question comes from Rodolfo, an investor. The difficulty of the government in sending in the values necessary for IPCA. How can this impact farms and the farm sector ports and terminals? Was this something recurrent or should we not expect these levels going forward? Now for your question. Good morning, Rodolfo. Thank you very much for the question. I briefly answered this to Fernanda. Of course, the harvest plant can work as inhibition. There's still a doubt regarding the resumption or not. As I highlighted previously, this does not represent a large amount of our revenues. It represents 15% of our revenues regardless of the I p c a. Of course, it is 15%, and we're seeking alternative to detect opportunities for funding for our customers through our partners to mitigate that potential. If the harvest plan does not materialize, There won't be an impact on our revenues because of this. If you would like to speak about ports and terminals, Bernardo. Thank you for the question, Rodolfo. Simply to compliment about the harvest plant, Safra. Of course, it doesn't help there was a reduction, but it is important to remind you that storage went from important to critical in the decisions of the chain as a whole. We see customers seeking other forms of funding, alternatives to funding, and this is a relevant point. Now about ports and terminals, we have our largest portfolio, the greatest opportunity we had in history in ports and terminals. We have several projects that have been announced. We're now in the engineering process and working with suppliers. We're participating in significant negotiations for port and terminals at this point. And at the end of the first quarter, we hope to have good news to speak about a significant business close. Hold while we pull for questions. We're pulling questions that have the same topic, so we will remain in silence for a few additional seconds. Our next question comes from Renato Franco, an investor. Which is the thank you for the question, Renato. Regarding international business, they were the star of the year with a growth of over 70%. Truly, fantastic. And especially if we look at the situation of Brazil. We have high hopes regarding Argentina. There is a significant change in the business environment there, especially in Argentine agribusiness. In 2024, we had the first sale to Argentina after years without activity with that country. And I remind you that Kepler has an industrial matrix that is very close to Argentina. Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay are very good sources, and yet we did have a good year in international business. We do think that 70% is a high bar, but in January, we have been able to maintain that level. We're working in the group so that this can become our new normal. We remind you that should you wish to pose a question, click on the raise hand icon. For those who wish Our next question comes from Rose Investor. Which is the impact of the high temperatures at present in Brazil? Is there any expectation for a break in productivity for soybeans? And how will this impact the company's business? Well, Jose, thank you for your concern with the very high temperatures. They truly are high. What we observe in this soybean harvest is a harvest that has grown approximately 15% in Brazil. This is very possible for the farmer, for the cooperative. They need to invest more in that product, so this is very good for Kepler. Perhaps it's worthwhile mentioning that that 15% growth is not homogeneous for all of Brazil. We have higher growth in the Cerrados and in Rio Grande do Sul Matogroso, we have had a slight drop. So it's not balanced between the dates, but yes, the harvest was very good, and this is very positive for our business as well. Please hold while we pull for more questions. Our next question comes from Werner Mueller You may activate your Our next question comes from Gabriel Azevedo from Argentestado. The business model of the Real Estate Fund, Fortis' remuneration of IPCE and 106% to 10% on the capital invested. Considering the macroeconomic scenario with a drop in Selik and volatility and inflation, how will the company maintain this fund attractive for institutional investors? Do you have plans for adjustment of profitability if the cost of capital is changed significantly? Good morning, Gabriel. Thank you very much for the question. Now this refers to the real estate fund where we always receive questions from. Now the real estate fund, does not belong to Kepler Beber. It belongs to a third party. It is an independent fund with an independent management. It is now on a call for capital. That capital represents 500,000,000 BRLs. So the manager of this offer is BTG. Now the rates that you mentioned are set forth by BTG. As Bernardo mentioned, now this is a critical issue in Brazil. It goes beyond all of this, and a building build may have high valuation in the future. Now when you leave the fund, you have a disinvestment and higher profitability of investors. Now preferably, this fund will be used with the product of Kepler Beber. It's important to know this to make distinction about the fund per se. We do convert with them often. They are quite happy with the call for capital that is being done. There is significant interest in this fund, and this real estate fund in Brazil is very attractive. It represents a hundred and 50,000,000,000 BRLs. In our opinion, this will lead to storage funds that will demand more silos, more storage and will create additional purchases from Kepler We would like to remind you that should you wish to post a question, please click on the raise hand icon. For those who wish to do their questions in writing, please use the link available in the chat. Please hold. Once again, please hold. Our next question comes from Jose Rios Santos, an investor. The company stood out in the payment of dividends as presented here. What is the outlook for this year? Will you continue with the same dividend payout levels? Morning and thank you very much for the question. This, of course, is a reason of pride for the company, the consistent payout of dividends throughout the years. When we look at the last three, four years of the company, we have had a 10% dividend yield. It's important to highlight that in 2024, the company paid out BRL150 million in dividends, maintaining a strong cash position. We have a net cash position of BRL115 million despite our payout. Now all of this gives us a great deal of calmness because of the present day interest rate. This is not a company that needs to seek out funds. This is a company that operationally generates consistent results. In the year of 2024, we generated 21% of EBITDA. So our operational generation gives us that tranquility to pay out good dividends during the year. We have the mandatory dividend. And additionally to this, we will release more dividends. And this will be very constant in terms of payout, always between 8% to 10% of dividend yield. And this is what we expect for 2025 as well. We have high expectations for the second half of the year. We will begin a recovery and perhaps we will be able to pay out dividends similar to those paid out in recent years. Bernardo, should you wish to add something? I think you answered that very clearly, Renato. And we want to show that in 2025, Kepler Weber had the highest dividend payout, highest dividend yield. We are in first place in Brazilian businesses and second place in capital good. These are levels that we want to maintain throughout 2025, and I'm quite confident that we will be able to achieve this very well. The question and answer session ends here. We will return the floor to Bernardo Nogueira for the closing remarks. Well, thank you all for your attendance and for your interest in this call and in sharing this moment. I would like to close by thanking the Kepler team. We had an excellent year 2024 with all of the assets we mentioned here. We had 6% growth in net revenue, productivity at the plants, 5% higher in Panambi. We had customers that were very well serviced. Our NPS went from 68 to 77, a growth of 5% in the number of customers serviced by Kepler. We have a 400 customers that are being serviced. So the base of our business did very, very well. In 2025, the challenges are well known. The team knows what it has to do. We're highly focused on operational excellence, the reduction of cost, that point of balance that we began in 2024 and will be the theme throughout 2025. When we look at our strategic plan, 2025, '2 thousand and '30, we want to have excellence in our service to customers. We already have three new launches for 2025, so the path for us is very clear in that sense. And finally, regarding dividends, we have that desire that will to continue to be a significant payout of dividend, the first company in Brazilian agribusiness. We hope to maintain this level in 2025. We have the same challenges we had in 2024, but the winds are in our favor because of the growth of maize, because of the growth in harvest. We will have the normal seasonality in the business, 35, 60 five between the quarters, but we know that what needs to be done, and we're quite confident that we will have a 2025 even better in this year where we celebrate a hundred years. Very well, we'll meet again at the close of the first quarter, the Kepler Bebber video conference for earnings for 2024 ends here. Should you have any question, please send your questions to r I dot kepler
