In 2015 the RAR Group’s consolidated net sales totalled 860 million euros, while free operating cash flow (EBITDA) totalled approximately 40 million euros. The Group posted operating results of 12 million euros, underpinned by the performances of Colep Europe and Vitacress.

The RAR Group has sold its stake as sole shareholder in Imperial to the investment fund, Vallis Sustainable Investments I. This operation is part of a process of appraisal and reallocation of the Group’s assets.

The RAR Group’s EBITDA increased by 10% in 2014 to €54 million, according to the Group’s Annual Report and Accounts released today. Turnover totalled €976 million and the Group’s net profit attributable to the parent company was €2.5 million.

The RAR Group has carried out an asset reorganisation operation in order to concentrate its investments in the most strategic companies. As an immediate result of this rearrangement, the entire operation of Colep in Brazil has been acquired and the shareholder position held in GeoStar sold.

The RAR Group has stepped up its internationalisation strategy with the expansion of its operations in the Americas, the Middle East and Asia. In 2013 it posted turnover of 968 million euros and operating profit of 20 million euros, an improvement of 15% on 2012.

Currently, EBITDA generated in Portugal represents only one-third of consolidated EBITDA. Outside Europe, Brazil already accounts for over 15 per cent.

The RAR Group posted turnover of 987 million euros in 2011, 7.6% up on the previous year, while keeping operating profitability unchanged.

The year was notable for the acquisition of 51% of the Brazilian firms Provider and TotalPack and 100% of Britain’s Van Heyningen Brothers (VHB).

ColepCCL announced today the extension of its partnership with Provider Indústria e Comércio S.A. and Total Pack Indústria e Comércio S.A., of Brazil, through the acquisition of a 51% share capital stake in both of these companies.
