Argentina: Loma Negra recorded revenues of US$317m in the first half of 2026, up by 2% year-on-year. Its adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose to US$71m, up by 1% year-on-year.
The company’s CEO, Sergio Faifman, said "Industry volumes have not yet fully regained the momentum we were expecting. Performance during the second quarter of 2026 was mainly affected by a weak April, impacted by heavy rains. The quarter-on-quarter comparison was more affected by higher costs, some of them seasonal. Our top line continued to show a positive trend, although volumes are still lagging. In dollar terms, EBITDA-per-tonne improved year-over-year and remains at healthy levels, underscoring the resilience of our operations.” Considering the second half of the year, Faifman said “We will continue to focus on preserving our efficiency gains as we await a stronger level of activity."
