Eztec’s income statement weakened just as its development engine accelerated: the quarter brought lower profit and revenue, but the strongest first-half sales and launch volumes in the company’s history.
São Paulo developer Eztec entered the second half of 2026 with a deliberately larger pipeline. That expansion did not prevent a year-on-year earnings decline in the second quarter, but it changed the meaning of the result: current revenue reflected the timing of project recognition, while sales and launches pointed to future delivery volume.
The Rio Times previously covered Eztec’s record first-half operating preview. The newly released financial statements add the missing earnings, margin, cash-flow and dividend detail, which is the focus of this report.
Profit and Revenue Fell From a Strong Comparison
Net income was R$110.4 million (US$21.6 million), down 21.0% from roughly R$139.8 million (US$27.4 million) in Q2 2025. Net revenue declined 16.0% to R$376.7 million (US$73.8 million). The bottom line nevertheless remained supported by Eztec’s financial income, including returns on its cash position and interest on customer receivables.
Gross margin eased one percentage point to 39.7% from 40.7%. Construction-cost savings and a land sale helped protect the margin despite lower recognized revenue. For a homebuilder, this measure matters because it captures both pricing discipline and whether cost inflation is being contained across long construction cycles.
| Metric | Q2 2026 | Year on year |
|---|---|---|
| Net income | R$110.4m / US$21.6m | −21.0% |
| Net revenue | R$376.7m / US$73.8m | −16.0% |
| Gross margin | 39.7% | −1.0 pp |
| Launch value, Eztec share | R$773.0m / US$151.5m | +57.8% |
| Net sales, Eztec share | R$577.6m / US$113.2m | +18.2% |

Record First-Half Activity Builds the Backlog
Eztec launched three projects during Q2 with a combined company-share gross development value of R$773.0 million (US$151.5 million), 57.8% above the prior-year quarter. The largest was GranResort in São Caetano, followed by Azzure Resort Life in Osasco and a third phase of Reserva São Caetano Bosque.
The first-half total reached R$1.70 billion (US$332.8 million), up 53.5% and the company’s highest launch volume for any first half. Eztec kept its 2026 launch guidance at R$2.5 billion to R$3.5 billion (US$490.0 million to US$686.0 million), leaving a wide range for the timing of second-half projects.
Net sales rose 18.2% in Q2 to R$577.6 million (US$113.2 million). For the first half, net sales climbed 47.3% to R$1.27 billion (US$249.8 million), also a record. Sales of completed inventory grew 42% over the six-month period, an important sign because converting finished units releases capital that can be recycled into new developments.
Inventory Growth Is Both Opportunity and Risk
Total inventory increased 21.8% year on year to R$3.31 billion (US$649.4 million), reflecting the faster launch pace. Completed inventory nearly doubled to R$1.21 billion (US$236.2 million) and represented 36.4% of the total. Those ready units can generate cash quickly when sold, but they also expose the company to carrying costs if mortgage rates or buyer confidence weaken.
Quarterly cancellations rose 40.9% to R$97.5 million (US$19.1 million), broadly in line with the greater sales volume but still worth monitoring. The net sales speed of 14.8% was slightly below 15.2% a year earlier and well below the first quarter’s 18.2%.
Eztec consumed R$5.5 million (US$1.1 million) of cash in Q2, compared with R$59.7 million (US$11.7 million) of cash generation a year earlier. Excluding dividends paid during the quarter, however, operating cash generation remained positive. The distinction matters as the company funds more construction sites simultaneously.
Dividend Preserves the Payout While Capital Needs Rise
The board approved R$26.2 million (US$5.1 million) in interim dividends, equivalent to R$0.09456614033 per common share. Shareholders of record on August 13, 2026, are entitled to the payment; the shares trade ex-dividend from August 14, and payment is due by August 28.
The payout is modest relative to quarterly profit, which gives Eztec room to retain capital for construction while maintaining its record of shareholder distributions. Future dividend capacity will depend on the conversion of the larger sales backlog into recognized revenue and cash.
What to Watch Next
Revenue recognition. Strong first-half sales need to translate into higher reported revenue as construction milestones are reached.
Completed inventory. Faster sales of ready units would release cash and reduce carrying risk.
Gross margin. Holding close to 40% would show that launch growth is not being purchased through weaker pricing.
Cash conversion. The enlarged pipeline must generate enough cash to fund construction without undermining dividends or balance-sheet flexibility.
