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.
