The Company Tries To Reverse An Unprecedented Sequence Of Losses With Cuts In The Physical Network, Internal Adjustments, And Actions To Recover Liquidity

Operating at a loss, the new administration of Brazilian Post and Telegraph Company has defined a reorganization plan to ensure financial breathing room and preserve the company’s role as a national logistics operator.

One of the points is the closure of up to a thousand unprofitable points, representing one of the most profound changes anticipated in the company’s service network.

The plan arises as a direct response to 12 consecutive quarters of accumulated losses, which pressured management to adopt tougher measures.

High Deficit Drives Changes

The change is driven by a negative result of R$ 4.5 billion in the first half of 2025. This figure reinforces the seriousness of the situation and helps explain why the network restructuring gained immediate priority.

The elimination of unprofitable points appears in the package of actions to be implemented over the next 12 months, a period viewed by management as crucial to stabilizing operations. The intention is to reduce expenses and realign the network to current financial conditions.

Still, the company tries to balance the cuts with a reaffirmation of its public function. The Post reminds that it remains the only operator capable of reaching all municipalities in the country, including those that are hard to access.

Universalization Remains At The Center

The company’s reach is used as an argument to defend the maintenance of its public character, even amid structural changes. The Post emphasizes that it delivers educational books, electoral supplies, and humanitarian aid in emergency situations.

For management, reorganizing the network does not mean abandoning the commitment to universalization. The declared objective is to make operations sustainable enough to continue fulfilling these essential functions.

Plan Includes Parallel Measures

In addition to closing points, the plan includes a Voluntary Dismissal Program and cuts related to health plans. These actions are part of the cost reduction axis, considered essential to navigate the period of instability.

The modernization of technological infrastructure is also highlighted as a priority. The company bets that more efficient systems will increase competitiveness, especially in a market dominated by private operators.

The monetization of assets and the sale of properties, with potential of R$ 1.5 billion, emerge as another important front. The company asserts that these resources will help relieve financial pressure in the short term.

Liquidity Depends On Billion-Dollar Funding

The Post reported that it expects to conclude, by the end of November, the raising of R$ 20 billion through a consortium of banks. This operation is considered essential to ensure liquidity and allow the advancement of other actions.

The official statement does not detail how each measure will be executed, but the approval of the plan indicates that the company will have little room to delay difficult decisions, especially regarding the closure of unprofitable agencies.

Challenge Until 2027

The expectation is to reduce the deficit in 2026 and return to profit only in 2027. This distant horizon reinforces the weight of the announced measures and shows that the company is working with a prolonged recovery process.

The restructuring of the network, although controversial, becomes a symbol of the broader effort to reposition the company in a sector marked by strong competition, technological demands, and constant regulatory pressure.

Challenge Until 2027

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Cristiano Ronaldo builds a billion-dollar mansion in Portugal with 54,000 square feet, a 3-acre plot facing the Atlantic, private spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and an estimated value of an impressive R$ 385 million.

The bridge that collapsed in seconds after being hit by a ship in Baltimore will be reborn as a cable-stayed bridge: Maryland signed $4.8 billion in four contracts for a 508-meter span specifically designed to withstand the impact of a giant cargo ship.

End of the tape measure, marking line, and subfloor error: robot prints the project directly on the construction site floor, creates layout up to 10 times faster, and marks 10,000 to 15,000 square feet per day with one person.

While historical buildings rely on artificial lighting, a museum in Wisconsin uses 66-meter movable wings to control natural light and create the effect of a giant bird over its glass hall.

While Brazilian stadiums take weeks to change the turf, the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid stores six trays of 1,500 tons in less than five hours and transforms the field into a stage, increasing revenue and event capacity.

While stadiums in Brazil need hours to cover the field, Tottenham in London transforms a 9,000-ton natural grass field into an NFL arena in just 25 minutes with unprecedented technology.
