Massimo Perotti, chairman and CEO of Sanlorenzo, has discussed the company's financial performance and market outlook in several interviews. He described 2021 as an "excellent" year with growth across all indicators, and stated that the company's guidance for 2022 included a 24% increase in revenue and an EBITDA margin of 17.5%, which he said was the highest in the yacht industry. Perotti noted that the order backlog stood at €1.1 billion, covering 85-86% of 2022 revenue, and that the U.S. market was "very, very hot." He also addressed the impact of the war in Ukraine, saying that Sanlorenzo had about €85 million in contracts with Russian clients spread over three years, and that as of March 2022 the company had not received any requests from those clients to terminate contracts. Perotti has emphasized Sanlorenzo's commitment to sustainability and innovation. He described the company as a "pioneer" in research and development, citing projects including an 11-meter hydrogen-powered tender with foils and a 50-meter yacht that uses a Siemens system to convert methanol into hydrogen for electricity. He also highlighted the BGM75, a twin-hull vessel that he said consumes less than half the fuel of a comparable monohull at the same speed. Perotti stated that the company's "ethical and moral responsibility" is to invest in making future yachts sustainable. He has also spoken about the importance of the stock exchange in helping the company grow, saying that while a "one man show" is effective in early years, the stock exchange helps prepare a company for "important, epochal growth steps."
