WOOD Flash – Aquila Part Prod Com S.A.: 2Q25 – eyeing +6% EBITDA margin for 2H25E

During today’s (14 August) 2Q25 earnings call, Aquila noted that the EBITDA margin should exceed 6% in 2H25E, vs. 5.8% in 1H25, so a small, but tangible uptick, implying that higher gross margins from its expanded portfolio and revenues synergies from the M&A will now outweigh the impact of the higher headcount visible in 2Q25 and, in turn, higher wage costs. We see this as in line with management’s statement that it takes three-to-four months to see the positive impact from new hires on the top line flowing to the EBITDA.
