Natura &Co reported strong Q3 2024 financial results with total revenue reaching R$ 6.0 billion, an 18.5% increase in constant currency. The growth was primarily driven by Natura Brazil (+19.4%) and Avon CFT (+14.4%). The company's Recurring EBITDA reached R$ 870 million, up 52% with a 14.6% margin.
Following Avon Products Inc.'s Chapter 11 filing, Natura &Co recorded a non-recurring, non-operating loss of R$ 7.0 billion due to deconsolidation, though this had no cash impact. The company ended Q3 with a net debt/recurring EBITDA ratio of 1.5x and R$ 3.5 billion in cash.
