Gross Revenue in Brazil grew in all comparisons, driven by the provision of emergency response services, especially rail, and by growth in environmental response.
In Brazil, the opening of medical services via the acquisition of SMR - now “Ambipar Response Medical” - within the emergency response division, boosted subscription services1.

Latam gross revenue had a negative exchange rate impact between 3Q23 vs. 4Q23, due to the appreciation of the Real by 3.4% against the Chilean Peso. Revenue in local currency decreased by 13% due to the smaller number of services provided.
Lower volume of emergencies in Chile was partially offset by an increase in revenue from training and services carried out in Peru. The lower volume of emergencies also contributes to a reduction in the average ticket.

North American operations continue their growth trajectory in industrial and emergency services, with emphasis on performance in the USA. Our emergency response division responded to onshore oil spills with an impact on water bodies, and we grew in port and industrial services. The resilience consultancy division presented superior performance compared to 3Q23.
In Canada, the merger of industrial services companies with a larger competitor (Bulldog) contributed to creating scale, higher number of services attended and increasing bases in the region.
