Results
Turnover reached 36.3 million euros, an increase of 18% compared to the previous year.
Vista Alegre Group's EBITDA in the first quarter of 2025 totalled 6.6 million euros, a growth of 0.9% compared to the same period last year.
The 27% year-on-year increase in energy costs negatively affected the EBITDA margin by 3 percentage points. The investment that the Group is making in decarbonisation will allow for greater energy efficiency in the production process, in order to reduce energy costs in the short term.

The Group recorded an operating profit of 3.1 million euros, in line with the same period last year. Net profit was down on the same period last year, namely due to the increase in depreciation due to the investments that have been made and the increase in energy costs.
Investments and debt
Accumulated investment in the first quarter of 2025 was 3.5 million euros, mostly directed towards decarbonisation projects, which reflects the Vista Alegre group's commitment to sustainability and social and environmental responsibility.
In the first three months of 2025, consolidated net debt increased slightly, essentially due to typical seasonality of the business. Considering the amount Vista Alegre Group projects financed by PRR grants, consolidated debt fell by 2.2 million euros compared to December 2024. In the first three months of 2025, the net debt to EBITDA ratio fell by 0.1x to 2.5x.
