Medellin-based textiles, clothing and real-estate developer Fabricato announced on August 14 a first half (1H) 2026 net loss of COP$4.8 billion (US$1.5 million), a 169% decline from the 1H 2025 net profit of COP$6.9 billion (US$2.2 million).
Revenues likewise declined 19% year-on-year, at COP$110 billion (US$35 million) in 1H 202 versus COP$136 billion (US$43 million) in 1H 2025.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) also fell 56% year-on-year, to COP$11.6 billion (US$3.7 million) in 1H 2026 versus COP$26 billion (US$8.3 million) in 1H 2025, according to the company.
“Accumulated textile revenues from ordinary activities as of June 2026 were COP$99 billion [US$31 million], a 22% decrease compared to the same period in 2025, when revenues were COP$126.6 billion [US$40 million],” according to Fabricato.
“The net textile result as of June 2026 was a loss of COP$$6.05 billion [US$1.9 million],” the company added.
As for its real estate división, income rose 10% year-on-year, to COP$10.8 billion (US$3.4 million), according to the company..
The overall losses are blamed upon “a textile market with contracted demand both nationally and internationally,” according to Fabricato.
“In a period of increased economic uncertainty and global trade tensions, the conservative trend in consumption of apparel and textiles persists, immediately reflected in lower production needs.
“Sales were once again affected, decreasing by 19% in quantity and 21.6% in value, which continues to impact the working capital required to meet obligations.
“However, the company remains optimistic as it implements strategies in product innovation, the circular economy, and process optimization that help improve its competitiveness and the results for the period,” the company added.
