discussions were constructive, and investors reacted positively to management’s

messaging, which remains closely aligned with the strategy communicated over the past Latin America Multi-Industry

above the company’s 2026 guidance, largely supported by higher PVC prices following the BCI, US

escalation of tensions between Iran and the United States. Elevated energy and feedstock prices

are providing near-term margin support, which should positively impact results in the short run.

That said, investors broadly acknowledged that this benefit is fragile. If geopolitical tensions

persist and translate into higher inflation expectations, central banks could be forced to raise

interest rates further. In this scenario, the positive effect of higher PVC prices could be offset by a

higher cost of capital, weaker demand, and pressure on asset valuations.

A recurring theme throughout the NDR was the company’s long-standing strategic consistency.
