ANSA McAL Reports Strong First Half 2026 Results
ANSA McAL Limited has reported strong financial results for the first half of 2026, reflecting resilient performance across its diversified portfolio and continued confidence in the Group’s long-term strategic direction.
Revenue increased by 3% to TT$3.790 billion (2025: TT$3.687 billion), with growth recorded across every geographic market except Barbados and the USA. Guyana delivered standout performance, with revenue rising 19.7% to TT$490 million (2025: TT$410 million).
The Group also reported an 8% increase in Adjusted EBITDA to TT$751 million (2025: TT$696 million), while profit before tax from continuing operations grew 25% to TT$401 million (2025: TT$322 million). Earnings per share increased by 50% to TT$1.50 (2025: TT$1.00).
The Beverage and Financial Services sectors were the strongest contributors during the period, while the Services sector also delivered positive results, supported by gains from strategic asset sales. Management continues to implement initiatives to strengthen performance across the Chemicals, Distribution and Automotive sectors, which experienced more challenging market conditions.
The Group also continued to strengthen its balance sheet during the period, repaying TT$683 million in debt and reducing its gearing ratio to 19.6%, down from 23.9% at 31 December 2025. It remains comfortably within all debt covenants. This financial discipline was independently recognised when CariCRIS assigned ANSA McAL its inaugural issuer/corporate credit ratings of CariAA (Regional Scale) and ttAA (Trinidad and Tobago National Scale), both with a Stable Outlook, placing the Group among the region’s most creditworthy companies.
In May, the Group introduced its first Group-wide Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) targets, covering safety, waste management and renewable energy generation. These commitments reinforce the belief that sustainable business practices strengthen risk management, operational resilience and long-term competitiveness.
Shortly after the close of the reporting period, the Group secured a landmark financing partnership with IDB Invest of up to US$500 million, the largest commitment of its kind in the Caribbean. The partnership reflects international confidence in the Group’s strategy, financial strength and long-term growth prospects, supporting investment programmes, regional expansion and sustainability initiatives.
Commenting on the results, Group Chairman A. Norman Sabga said:
“The first half of 2026 demonstrates the resilience of the Group and the continued confidence of the market in ANSA McAL’s strategic direction. Our financial strength, diversification and disciplined execution remain defining characteristics of ANSA McAL and give us confidence in our ability to navigate uncertainty while continuing to create long-term value for our stakeholders across the region.”
