DASA (), a diagnostic medicine company, reported net loss of R $ 111 million in the first quarter of 2025. The company reduced the negative figure registered a year earlier, of R $ 176 million. The balance is the last to account for the performance of the company’s hospitals unit, which was segregated in a joint venture with Amil. The business that gave rise to the Americas network – with 25 hospitals, 30 cancer centers and 23 medical centers – was completed earlier last month.
The profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA, in the English acronym) of DASA between January and March was R $ 708 million, with an increase of 11% in the annual comparison. According to the administration, it was the best result for a first trimester, driven by optimization of operations and control of administrative expenses.
