Azzas 2154 revenue falls as higher margins lift cash generation
Azzas 2154, which owns brands including Arezzo, Farm, Hering and Reserva, reported its third-quarter results for July to September 2026.
Net revenue fell 4.2% from a year earlier to R$2.84 billion, while recurring net profit declined 5.3% to R$190.6 million.
The company raised its gross margin to 56.8% by cutting discounts and selling more goods at full price.
Operating cash generation rose 39.6% to R$385.2 million, and net debt fell 10% over 12 months.
Hering, part of the Basic unit, sold 13.3% fewer items, but its gross margin rose as well.
The results come ahead of a planned split between Arezzo&Co and Grupo SOMA, already approved by Brazil’s competition regulator, Cade.
The results provide a snapshot of the company before that separation, but the available information does not say when it will take place.
