Corporación Moctezuma posted a 14.5 per cent YoY growth in revenues to MXN4368.7m (US$237.3m) in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The company reported EBITDA of MXN1677.8m in the 4Q22, representing a YoY increase of 17.5 per cent from MXN1427.6m.

Net profit in the 4Q22 advanced 11.3 per cent YoY to MCN1099.1m from MXN987.1m in the equivalent period of the previous year.

The volatility of the Mexican peso-US dollar exchange rate impacted the results with the peso appreciating against the dollar. Other factors that influenced the result were the effects of inflation, the recovery in the construction industry in specialised services, public works and domestic consumption.
