Current Economic Scenario

2021 continues to show a favorable environment for the investment initiated in mid-2020. This important recovery in turnover can be seen in the incoming orders for Romi Machines. The current interest rates, as well as the exchange rate level stimulates the domestic industry and Brazil in general to allocate a larger share of capital to the productive economy, seeking increased productivity and the preservation of competitiveness. In view of the more concrete signs of this resumption that took place in 2020, the Company prepared itself, especially in relation to orders for raw materials and components along the supply chain, which have allowed us to serve customers in an appropriate and competitive period. Romi is prepared to continue to support its customers by providing high-technology products, within deadlines suitable to the market's needs.

In the foreign market, we have also noted a gradual resumption of machine orders, for machines produced by both Romi and by B+W, and the latter already completed major orders in 1Q21 and 4Q20, as may be seen in the incoming orders reported for these periods. These requests are a reflection of the growing volume of opportunities, mainly in the Asian continent.

The Industrial Entrepreneur Confidence Index (ICEI) also shows a strong recovery of confidence throughout the second half of 2020, and in the later months of the year this index remained stable at a level considered highly favorable for new investments.

The Installed Capacity Utilization (UCI) index of the domestic industry in general, released by the National Confederation of Industries (CNI), which has been impacted by the pandemic, returned to its normal levels in August 2020. With the increase in COVID cases in the beginning of 2021, this index has shown greater volatility, however, it remains at levels favorable to perform investments.
