Motiva registra lucro de R$ 750 milhões no 3º tri; avanço de 9,8% em um ano

A Motiva teve lucro líquido ajustado de R$ 750 milhões no terceiro trimestre, um crescimento de 9,8% sobre o resultado positivo de um ano antes, segundo balanço divulgado nesta quarta-feira (28) pela maior companhia de concessões rodoviárias do país ao mercado.

A companhia apurou um resultado operacional medido pelo Ebitda ajustado de R$ 2,5 bilhões, aumento de 13,4% sobre o apurado um ano antes, com a margem passando se mantendo praticamente estável, a 66,2%.

Analistas, em média, esperavam que a Motiva apresentasse lucro de R$ 627 milhões no terceiro trimestre e Ebitda de R$ 2,6 bilhões, segundo dados da LSEG.

Os números do trimestre incluem início da cobrança de pedágio em concessões rodoviárias da companhia no Paraná, São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro e foram beneficiados por uma base de comparação mais fraca com o mesmo período do ano passado diante do início em abril da gestão da rodovia Fernão Dias, entre São Paulo e Minas Gerais.

A receita líquida ajustada da Motiva cresceu 13,6% no terceiro trimestre sobre um ano antes, para R$ 3,8 bilhões, ante expectativas do mercado de faturamento de R$ 4,44 bilhões, segundo a LSEG.

A Motiva afirmou que a receita do trimestre foi apoiada ainda por “desempenho operacional na plataforma de Trilhos e por reajustes tarifários”. A companhia citou que conseguiu elevar receitas complementares em 23% no período, para R$ 92 milhões.

A companhia terminou setembro com alavancagem financeira ajustada de 3,2 vezes ante 3,6 vezes reportados no mesmo período do ano passado.

Gulf states working on multipart peace deal to avert renewal of US-Iran war

Talks are aimed at reopening strait of Hormuz and lifting sanctions on Iran, and for Houthis to withdraw in Yemen

A multipronged peace deal to reopen the strait of Hormuz within four days of sanctions being lifted and for the Houthis to withdraw substantial forces inside Yemen are at the heart of Gulf states’ plans to avert what they regard as a disastrous renewal of war between Iran and the US.

The US is aware of the talks’ progress but is holding out for a concession that European powers suggest could involve Iran allowing UN weapons inspectors back into the country.

I Was Never Enough

Our self-sufficiency is a myth that will be dispelled by coming seasons of trials and dependence on Jesus Christ’s sure victory. Hallelujah.   I walk in the wilderness near home in Northern California. The autumn breeze cools my face as I watch our dog roam ahead. Falling pine needles and leaves totter and spin about,...

Change to carer’s allowance cliff-edge rule is not enough, victims say

Digital taper system for benefit expected in budget, but those already hit with overpayments will still have to pay

“On the surface it sounds really positive – and I really hope that it is,” says unpaid carer Guy Shahar of the government’s decision to abolish the notorious carer’s allowance cliff edge.

But Shahar is angry that most carers hit with unjust overpayments in the past will still have to repay them, for all the promise of a different future. And he notes that the cliff edge remains in place for four more years, potentially catching out more carers.
