Despite only a minor improvement in revenue, the company's profit increased by 30.8% to 107.8 million euros.

Sales in Brazil, the company’s domestic market, increased by 12,1% totaling 785 million euros. Worth mentioning that sales in Argentina were down by 24% reaching 230 million euros. Alpargatas’ international sales totaled 191.8 million euros, down by  3.3% compared to 2015.
