Ticle joined Minerva in 2009. He takes up the new role as Minerva announced its results for 2018 which revealed net revenue of BRL16.2bn (US$4.23bn), up 16% on 2017. In 2019, Minerva is expecting net revenue to be between BRL16.5bn and BRL17.5bn.
Minerva’s EBITDA dropped 19.3% to BRL915.1m. The company reported an adjusted EBITDA figure for 2018 of BRL1.55bn, compared to BRL1.26bn a year earlier. However, Minerva’s reported losses deepened, with the company booking a net loss of BRL1.26bn, versus BRL280.7m in 2017, amid pressure from exchange rates.
