Arauco posted revenues of USD 1,531.5 million for the first quarter of 2025 (1Q-2025), reflecting a 7.5% year-over-year decrease compared to the USD 1,654.9 million reported in the same period of 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

The decline was mainly driven by reduced sales volumes in the company\u2019s Pulp and Forestry and Wood Products divisions.<\/p>\n

Sales from Wood Products reached USD 730.2 million, down 4.5% from the previous year. Overall, the company\u2019s performance was affected by weaker demand and lower pricing conditions across key markets.<\/p>\n

EBITDA for the quarter fell 21.7% to USD 348.3 million, with the EBITDA margin declining 4.2 percentage points to 22.7%, from 26.9% a year earlier. This was attributed primarily to reduced volumes and price pressures in core segments.<\/p>\n

As a result, Arauco reported a net loss of USD 26.5 million, a sharp turnaround from the USD 100.3 million profit recorded in 1Q-2024 \u2014 representing a 126.4% drop in net income.<\/p>\n

The company cited challenging market conditions in the pulp and wood sectors and emphasized its continued focus on operational efficiency and market adaptability in the coming quarters.<\/p>\n

In 1Q25, Arauco moved forward with key investments in Mexico and Chile. In Mexico, the Vikingo 2.0 project involves a USD 250 million investment to expand MDF production at the Zit\u00e1cuaro plant. The new line, with a capacity of 300,000 m\u00b3, is scheduled to begin operations in 2026. The Alacr\u00e1n project includes a paper impregnation center with two lines and a melamine line to supply Arauco facilities in Mexico, the U.S., and Canada, backed by a USD 40 million investment. Also in Mexico, a second pallet line at the Guadalajara plant is expected to begin operations in 3Q-2025, bringing total annual capacity to 2.5 million pallets.<\/p>\n

In Chile, Arauco is investing USD 100 million in a new OSB production line at the Trup\u00e1n\u2013Cholgu\u00e1n complex in \u00d1uble, set to start operations in 2Q-2026, producing raw and siding OSB panels.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
