Costs remained stable as a percentage of revenue when comparing 2Q23 vs. 1Q23, reflecting the company's business mix. There were no highlights in the composition of costs in this quarter. The largest cost components – Personnel, Third Parties, Maintenance, Fuel and Travel – represented more than 85% of total costs.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit grew over 2Q22. Gross margin for 2Q23 reached 25.8%, a result of 1.0 pp. lower than 2Q22 and up by 1.6 pp. compared to 1Q23. The improvement in gross margin in relation to 1Q23, is due to better performance in Brazil and Canada.
