SONDA raises its net income to US$11 million in the first half of 2026, US$7.4 million higher than the same period of the previous year

SONDA informed the Financial Market Commission (CMF) that during the first half of 2026 it recorded net income attributable to owners of the parent of US$ 11 million, a figure that represents an increase of US$ 7.4 million compared to the same period of 2025. This result reflects the progress in the execution of the company’s strategic plan, focused on improving profitability through efficiency initiatives and greater participation in large-scale, long-term projects.

In this context, the income is explained mainly by better operating performance, with Operating Income of US$ 38 million, 41% higher than that recorded in the same period of the previous year, in addition to the increase in other revenue associated with the sale of the subsidiaries Solex and Microgeo Ingeniería and of certain non-strategic real estate assets, transactions that generated net income after taxes of US$ 4.6 million and a positive result in discontinued operations. These effects were partially offset by higher financial costs and an increase in income tax.

During the period, the company recorded consolidated revenue of US$ 792 million, which represents growth of 10.8% in reporting currency. Meanwhile, EBITDA, which grew in all regions, reached US$ 64 million, with a consolidated increase of 20.8%, leading to an improvement in the period’s EBITDA margin of 70 basis points and an increase in the operating margin of 110 basis points.

The growth in EBITDA is mainly a consequence of the maturation and development of new projects in the region, boosted by growth in operating volume, with significant increases in Brazil and the Southern Cone, as well as the efficiency plans underway.

Marcelo Castiglione, Corporate CEO of SONDA, comments that “the first-half results confirm that our strategic plan is delivering concrete results. The 41% growth in operating income and the sustained improvement in margins demonstrate that the execution of value projects for our clients and the efficiency initiatives are showing their tangible effects. The execution of these large-scale, long-term projects is allowing us to increase our operating capacity, enable high-value digital platforms for public and private organizations, and thus consolidate this trajectory in all the markets where we operate”.

Business closings
During the first half of the year, business closings reached US$ 1,192 million, which represents growth of 46.9% compared to the same period of the previous year, reflecting strong commercial momentum in the region. By geographic area, the increases in North America (+106.8%), the Southern Cone (+45.9%), Brazil (+42.5%) and the Andean Region (+30.5%) stood out. Meanwhile, the pipeline of opportunities reached US$ 6,922 million, of which Brazil represents 33% and Chile 26%.

“In addition to the high volumes of business closings, our pipeline maintains a very healthy growth trajectory, which allows us to look to the coming years with optimism. We have a diversified portfolio of opportunities, a consolidated regional presence, and capabilities that position us to continue capturing new business opportunities, maintaining a permanent focus on innovation, efficiency, and the creation of value for our clients”, the executive states.

Among the business closings during the first half, in Chile the award of projects linked to intelligent transportation, smart cities, corporate connectivity and pension solutions stood out, including contracts with the Ministry of Transportation, the Municipality of Copiapó, ABC and an important Fintech. In Brazil, digital infrastructure and smart mobility initiatives stood out, such as the Infovía and Mobi Rio projects, in addition to an important print outsourcing contract with Banco do Brasil.

In Peru, a Smart Safety solution and Monitoring Center contract for the Regional Government of San Martín stood out. In Colombia, corporate cybersecurity projects and photovoltaic energy solutions were finalized, while in Guatemala a national electronic ankle-monitor monitoring platform was awarded for the Ministerio de Gobernación.
