Braskem S.A. ( BAK ) Q3 2025 Earnings Call November 11, 2025 10:30 AM EST Company Participants Rosana Avolio - Investor Relations Manager Roberto Ramos - Chief Executive Officer Felipe Montoro Jens - Chief Financial & Investor Relations Officer Presentation Operator Good afternoon, and thank you for waiting.
Brazilian petrochemical firm Braskem said on Monday it has agreed to pay 1.2 billion reais ($222 million) to the northeastern state of Alagoas, the latest compensation deal related to the damages caused by its salt mines operations.
Braskem faces severe cash burn and high-interest obligations, but liquidity is sufficient through 2027 despite weak sector conditions. A debt-for-equity swap or capital increase would cause massive dilution, but Novonor and its creditor banks are likely to block this nuclear option. The most favorable outcome is a grace period or PIK interest deferral, reducing cash outflows and avoiding dilution, potentially doubling BAK's share price.
Braskem is a leading Brazilian petrochemical company specializing in resins like polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC. Investor Nelson Tanure, known for corporate restructuring, has made a surprise purchase offer for Braskem. The announcement of Tanure's offer led to a sharp 9% increase in Braskem's share price, reflecting strong market interest.
Brazil's Petrobras wants to review Braskem's shareholders agreement for possible changes to allow it more say in the petrochemical firm's decisions, three sources close to the matter at the state-run oil firm told Reuters.

Braskem's net revenues fell 14% q/q and 2% y/y in 4Q24 due to reduced petrochemical spreads and lower demand. Despite high leverage, Braskem's $2.4 billion cash ensures debt coverage for the next 47 months, projecting operational cash recovery. Valuation comparison with peers suggests a 19% upside, reinforcing my buy recommendation despite challenging market conditions.
