Cosan S.A. (NYSE:CSAN ) Shareholder/Analyst Call September 22, 2025 8:00 AM EDT Company Participants Rodrigo Alves - Chief Financial & Investor Relations Officer Marcelo Martins - CEO & Vice Chairman Conference Call Participants Renato Secondo Mazzola - BTG Pactual Gestora de Recursos Ltda Ralph Gustavo Rosenberg Thiago Duarte - Banco BTG Pactual S.A., Research Division Isabella Simonato - BofA Securities, Research Division Matheus Enfeldt - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division Gabriel Coelho Barra - Citigroup Inc., Research Division Monique Greco - Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A.

Cosan S.A.'s financial flexibility relies on asset sales and debt rollover, not recurring cash flow, leaving little margin for error amid high interest rates in Brazil. Raízen, Cosan's key subsidiary, faces severe cash burn and rising leverage, making a turnaround there crucial for Cosan's recovery thesis. Current high Selic rates and weak dividends keep Cosan's interest coverage ratio under pressure, with no clear short- or medium-term relief in sight.

Brazil faced economic deterioration in 2024, with rising interest rates and challenges that have impacted Cosan's valuation. Moove's failed IPO and Vale's misallocation of capital have damaged market confidence. Cosan has revamped its board and sold off Vale shares, finally addressing its leverage issues.

Cosan S.A. (NYSE:CSAN ) Q3 2024 Earnings Conference Call November 14, 2024 8:00 AM ET Company Participants Nelson Gomes - Chief Executive Officer of Raízen Marcelo Martins - Chief Executive Officer Rodrigo Araujo - Chief Financial, Investor Relations Fernando Tinel - Head of IR & ESG Conference Call Participants Isabella Simonato - BofA Merrill Lynch Thiago Duarte - BTG Matheus Enfeldt - UBS Monique Greco - Itaú Bruno Amorim - Goldman Sachs Vicente Falanga - Bradesco Regis Cardoso - XP Operator Good morning, everyone, and thank you for waiting. Welcome to Cosan's Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call.

Rumo and Compass showed strong pricing power and earnings growth, while Moove's potential IPO could unlock significant value and aid in deleveraging. Cosan's net loss was largely due to non-recurring events, and the company is on a slow but positive deleveraging trend. The attractive valuation, combined with promising subsidiaries and the potential Moove IPO, makes Cosan a compelling buy.

Q2 results from Cosan showed okay performance, with healthy volumes in sugar and ethanol offsetting weaker realized prices, and strong results from Rumo. Core SEE prices have become more challenging, impacting revenue and EBITDA for Cosan. The sugar market appears roughly in balance now, and legislation in Brazil could drive increased ethanol consumption. Complexity and lack of transparency in Cosan's structure, reporting, and capital allocation priorities are real issues and may reasonably deter investors despite potential undervaluation.
