Portobello
Even in the face of the pandemic
challenges, this was an exceptional year for
Portobello, which made progress in all the
segments in which it operates. According to
Anfacer, the construction industry grew by
12.2% in volume, and data from Abramat
point to an expansion of 37.9% in revenue.
Retail sales of construction materials,
an essential segment for the company's
business model, recorded a rise of 4.6%
(Cielo). In all comparisons with the sector,
Portobello had more robust results, a
scenario that led the company to expand its
market share.
In 2021, Portobello operated at 100% of
its production capacity. The expressive
growth came from the expansion of volume
sold, new products that added value to the
mix offered, price increases and a more
favorable exchange rate, which impacted
gains in dollar terms. These attributes
benefited the adjusted gross margin, which
reached 43%, even in a context of strong
cost pressure, especially energy.
The positive financial results have stimulated
investments that will turn the operation even
more robust. During the year, BRL 114.8
million were allocated to the expansion
of the Portobello Shop network and the
expansion of the productive capacities of
the plants in Tijucas (SC) and Marechal
Deodoro (AL), as well as Portobello
America, which will have a factory in 2023
and received funds for the architectural
project, earthworks and the ordering of part
of the factory equipment.
Some competitive advantages favored
operations in 2021 and will continue to
positively impact the business. Portobello
America has two distributors in the US,
which expand its presence in the North
American market and adds dollar revenue to
the organization.
Operating in retail, with its own sales
channel, in addition to bringing the
benefits inherent to the format itself, brings
Portobello closer to the end customer and
architects, helping to measure consumer
behavior and guide business strategies.
Added to these factors is the significant
volume of exports, which, together with
the sales made by Portobello America,
represented 21% of revenue. The company
has also been consolidating its digital sales
channel, which will be reinforced next year.
Portobello projects a warm 2022, impacted
by the performance of civil construction
in 2020, which generates reflexes in the
construction materials segment where it
operates, two years later, duration of a
work. In other words, the demand is already
set. There will be no increase in volume,
as the entire sector has been operating
at 100% of its capacity, and investments
in production expansion, underway
at Portobello and competitors, will be
completed in 2023 and 2024. Despite
stability in volume, a revenue growth is
projected, as a result of the prices increase
and diversification, with the expansion of
the presence of products with higher added
value in the portfolio.
