The 2022 guidance is underpinned by the following assumptions:

- Sales Incoterms: 50% CIF and 50% FOB
- Sales channels: 50% direct sales and 50% indirect sales
“Over the previous years, seeing that we were producing and selling a new product, our guidance was limited to volume and revenue. From 2022 onwards we are pleased to add EBITDA and EPS to Verde's guidance,” said Cristiano Veloso, Verde’s Founder and CEO.
2023 Guidance
For 2023, Verde’s sales volume target is 1.4 million tonnes. This target represents a potential 100% growth Year-on-Year (“YoY”).
