Factory highlights
In our factory in Manaus, the expansion started
with the adaptation of spaces and the imple-
mentation of a new work shift, which increased
by 50% the number of employees. We signifi-
cantly increased the product mix, both in the
development of new jewelry and in factory pro-
duction, which exceeded the previous year's pro-
duction by 50%. Our goal is to have increasingly
frequent launches, with contemporary collec-
tions that meet our customers' demands.
This effort led to an increase in the share of
the national manufacturing of the products,
maintaining the strategy of producing more and
more jewelry of all categories in our factory. In
the year, we increased to 69.63% the percent-
age of products received from Manaus in our
stores, 1.19 percentage point more than in the
previous year.

VIVARA
New concept of Life by Vivara stores
Celebrating the brand's ten years with significant
expansion of points of sale, the Life by Vivara
concept stores opened in 2021 were planned
as a playful, sophisticated, and instagrammable
environment that connects with the affective
memories created by our products. The new
layout was designed to invite experimentation,
encouraging the public to explore all the diversity
of products inside the store.
To create a dynamic consumer journey, the envi-
ronment was divided into two integrated spaces.
The hot zone marks the place where the cus-
tomer is surprised by luminous icons and a huge
mirror on the ceiling. Through the transition of
materials and colors, consumers are led to the
second environment, where they find the salmon
tone of a giant kaleidoscope so as to dive into
the magical atmosphere of our jewelry world.

Value creation
103-2 | 103-3 | 201-1
The pandemic brought a challenging scenario,
but rapidly our teams and leaderships have
mobilized so that together we presented the
best solutions to our customers and investors.
Our efforts to create effective, transforming,
and agile solutions achieved breakthrough
results in 2020 and allowed our business ex-
pansion plan for 2021 to be assertively put
into practice.
We closed the year with a 16% market
share, an increase of 2.9 percentage points
in 12 months, and 4.6 percentage points in
24 months, which should continue with the
opening of our points of sale, intensifying the
growth curve. In addition to investing in our
organic growth, we are attentive to opportu-
nities for consolidation in the Brazilian jewelry
market, both to reach new audiences and to
supplement our product base.
Our expansion plan plus the actions that be-
lieve on the omnichannel approach and the
digitalization investments provided gross
revenue, net of returns, of R$1.84 billion, a
growth of 23.7% when compared to 2019,
and of 37.7% when compared to 2020. Same
store sales (SSS) for the period was 16.1%
compared to 2019, and 32.1% compared to
2020. We maintained very significant levels
of profitability and operating cash genera-
tion, even with the massive investment in our
strategic initiatives. We invested over R$100
million throughout the year in stores, factory,
efficiency, and technology, and we are com-
mitted to accelerating investments in our stra-
tegic pillars in the coming years.

Gross profit in 2021 totaled R$991.5 million,
up 24.3% in comparison to 2019, and 38.2%
compared to 2020, while gross margin stood at
67.6%, in line with the Company's healthy profit-
ability levels. Gross profitability was temporarily
affected by the increase in headcount and gener-
al expenses at the factory due to higher insourc-
ing of production and expansion of the organic
volume of production.
