ISA 2Q 2026 Net Income Up 53% Year-on-Year
Medellin-based multinational electric-power transmission, highways concessionaire and telecom-internet operator ISA announced August 7 that its second quarter (2Q) 2026 net income jumped 53% year-on-year, to COP$695 billion (US$214 million), from COP$455 billion (US$140 million) in 2Q 2025.
Revenues for 2Q 2026 also rose 42% year-on-year, to COP$4.73 trillion (US$1.46 billion), from COP$3.34 trillion (US$1.03 billion) in 2Q 2025.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) likewise rose 62% year-on-year, to COP$2.67 trillion (US$824 million), from COP$1.64 trillion (US$506 million) in 2Q 2025.
Commenting on the results, cited “commissioning of new projects, strong financial performance, and our ability to continue growing consistently across our energy transmission, roads, and telecommunications business units,” but also including “the impact of contractual revenue escalators,” as well as “appreciation of the Colombian peso against the main currencies of the countries where we operate.”
“Key milestones included the full commissioning of the Piraquê project in Brazil ahead of its regulatory deadline, enabling ISA to receive 100% of the project’s Annual Permitted Revenue (RAP)” totaling approximately COP$243 billion [US$75 million],” according to the company.
“We also commissioned transmission network renewal and expansion projects in Colombia, along with multiple reinforcements and upgrades across the Brazilian grid.”
Meanwhile, “in our roads business unit, we reached key milestones that strengthen our future growth potential. The award of the Río Bueno–Puerto Montt concession in Chile represents a new opportunity to contribute to the country’s infrastructure development.”
“In telecommunications, we continued to grow profitably, supported by new contracts, increasing demand for connectivity solutions, and the expansion of our regional network.
“We maintained a solid financial position to support our growth. Consolidated financial debt closed at COP$34.2 trillion [US$10.5 billion], with an average maturity of nine years and leverage metrics aligned with levels considered appropriate for an investment-grade credit rating,” the company added.
