Activity

In December 2020 Grupo Vista Alegre recorded a turnover of 117 million euros and an EBITDA of 22.7 million euros. Foreign markets represented 75.1% of Vista Alegre's turnover, with 87.8 million euros of sales.

During the second half of 2021, economic activity in Portugal and worldwide was slowly recovering from the crisis created by the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and renewed pandemic containment measures at the beginning of the year. The different measures taken by authorities aimed at mitigating the negative effects of the pandemic had a positive effect on the economic climate, as can be seen in the recovery of retail activity, with a visible impact on results.

Branded products, namely in Vista Alegre Porcelain and Bordallo Pinheiro Earthenware sectors, contributed most to the growth in turnover during 2021. Porcelain revenues reached 42.5 million euros, representing a 42.7% increase compared to the previous year, and the Earthenware revenues amounted to 12.4 million euros representing a 53.2% growth compared to 2020.
