Cable manufacturer Nexans, meanwhile, does not report first-quarter results.<\/p>\n<p>Qui\u00f1enco\u2019s financial performance compares favorably with the Ch$11,916 million loss reported in the same period of the previous year, which was largely explained by CSAV\u2019s tax expense related to dividends of \u20ac604 million received from Germany in the first quarter of 2024. In contrast, CSAV did not receive dividends from abroad during the first three months of 2025 that would have triggered income tax in Chile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur companies have had a strong start to the year, demonstrating their solidity and leadership, particularly in a global environment that remains uncertain and volatile. Geopolitical tensions in various parts of the world, trade wars, and a growing sense of distrust are factors affecting economic performance in Chile and globally, which we are monitoring closely,\u201d said Qui\u00f1enco\u2019s CEO, Francisco P\u00e9rez Mackenna, upon releasing the results.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2025, ratings agency ICR upgraded Qui\u00f1enco\u2019s credit rating to AAA (from AA+), while Fitch Ratings maintained its AA+ rating, reflecting the holding\u2019s financial strength.<\/p>\n<p>Results by sector<\/p>\n<p>In the financial sector, Banco de Chile reported earnings of Ch$328,944 million, up 10.5%, contributing $84,145 million to Qui\u00f1enco\u2019s results. The Bank\u2019s strong performance is primarily attributable to lower expected credit losses, as well as reduced operating and tax expenses.<\/p>\n<p>In transport, CSAV posted net income of US$149 million, contributing Ch$95,412 million to Qui\u00f1enco\u2019s results. CSAV\u2019s contribution increased by Ch$198,228 million, mainly due to temporary differences in income tax expenses related to dividends received from Germany. Hapag-Lloyd\u2019s results increased 45.4% to US$465 million, driven by strong operational performance compared to the first quarter of 2024, with an 8.8% increase in transported volumes and an 8.9% rise in average freight rates.<\/p>\n<p>In energy, Enex\u2019s contribution to Qui\u00f1enco\u2019s results rose significantly to Ch$17,783 million, due to improved operating performance driven by higher sales volumes across all markets and a more favorable inventory revaluation effect, as well as improved non-operating results, mainly due to favorable foreign exchange differences.<\/p>\n<p>In beverages, CCU reported earnings of Ch$57,778 million, up 10.7% from the same period last year. The solid results were driven by strong performance in the International Business segment, particularly in Argentina, offsetting declines in the Chile and Wine segments, along with lower tax expenses during the period.<\/p>\n<p>In port services, SM SAAM posted net income of US$18 million, down 17% compared to the first quarter of 2024. While the tugboats and air logistics segments saw improved operational results, this was offset by a non-recurring gain on the sale of real estate assets recorded in 2024, as well as a foreign exchange loss in the first quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>At the corporate level, Qui\u00f1enco reported an unfavorable variation in its result, primarily due to higher losses from the effect of inflation on indexed units, partially offset by positive foreign exchange differences and higher financial income.<\/p>\n<p>Multinational cable manufacturer Nexans, classified under the manufacturing sector, does not report first-quarter results.<\/p>\n<p>_________<\/p>\n<p><em>With more than 65 years in business, Qui\u00f1enco is one of the most diversified and global groups in Chile.
