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.
Natura & Co's Q1 2024 financial results reveal a mixed performance. Consolidated net revenue hit BRL 6.1 billion, showing a 1.1% rise in constant currency but a 5.7% decline year-on-year in Brazilian Reais. Natura Latam excelled, with revenue growth of 3.1% YoY in CC, led by Natura Brazil's 11.3% increase. This was driven by strong retail sales and the launch of the 'Perfumada' fragrance campaign. However, Avon Latam reported declines of over 11% in Brazil and Hispanic Latam due to fewer representatives.
Avon International faced a 4.7% revenue drop in CC despite efforts to enhance gross margins and explore new distribution channels. Consolidated profitability improved thanks to a 90 bps increase in gross margin, reaching 65.2%. Adjusted EBITDA was BRL 683 million, with a margin expansion of 110 bps YoY.
However, the reported net loss widened to BRL 935 million, impacted by discontinued operations, higher taxes, and FX losses. Excluding one-offs, the underlying net income was BRL 116 million. CEO Fabio Barbosa highlighted the positive impact of the Natura-Avon integration but acknowledged ongoing challenges.
