Established more than 30 years ago, Carol Driessen founded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4711" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vyva Fabrics (Company)">Vyva Fabrics</a> to supply high-quality fabrics and artificial leather, predominantly to the yachting industry. Today the company has grown to the top of its game, with an estimated 80 percent of the Dutch market share for superyacht fabrics and having expanded into the flooring sector as well, offering flexiteek and nautifloor among other vinyls. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/210777/image/large-b526ad5ebaea019382114a5e8e41d103.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/210777">As one of the early entrepreneurs in the industry to recognise the importance of sustainability to the industry, Driessen began to look at alternative options for fabrics more than a decade ago. In 2019 the first fruits of this labor were unveiled with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4711" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vyva Fabrics (Company)">Vyva</a> Hemp Collection, a line of upholstery fabrics made of extremely strong and durable hemp fibres, dyed in a selection of elegant and soft colours. The collection was also launched in five different themes with matching textures and one of the most impressive features of the line is that all of the fabrics are waterproof and stain free. This means that they can be used for both interior and exterior furnishings and can be left outside all year round without any degradation to the materials.With the Hemp Collection, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4711" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vyva Fabrics (Company)">Vyva</a> made its first move toward more organic, sustainable solutions, but for the company, this was not far enough toward true sustainability. It was then that the team started to consider truly recycled materials with a deep commitment to a reduction of emissions within the entire life cycle of the product. It is from here that the REVYVA Collection came into being. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/210776/image/large-8d09a63cd37b185205d34b366286ed26.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/210776">Unveiled at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1429" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show (Company)">Monaco Yacht Show</a> in September, the REVYVA Collection is made 100% from recycled polyester yarns, derived from used plastic bottles. The collection is flame retardant and, like the Hemp Collection, can be used internally and externally and is bleach and water resistant.Produced in Europe the materials have a verified supply chain and save 94 percent of the water normally used, 64 percent of the energy and decreases 32 percent of CO2 emissions thanks to its innovative production process.&nbsp;For Driessen, sustainability and the innovations they have uncovered with this new line is the future of the industry and a direction that they will continue to heavily invest. Currently the REVYVA Collection fabrics are available in three different colour groups, offering an array of options from yellows, pinks, blues and beyond, and other benefits of the recycled material mean that the fabric colouration and yarn is absolutely consistent throughout the material, something which can be an issue with natural weaves.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/210778/image/large-fcb368303077f6a39ae2df2192ad0c7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/210778">More and more, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4711" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vyva Fabrics (Company)">Vyva</a> is &nbsp;seeing requests from owners and clients for sustainable alternatives to the products previously used and the response to the new line has been very positive. “Our clients want to be more sustainable. For many, if a product is less than 70 percent recycled they don’t even want to consider it, and that shows a real development in the industry. We are excited to be introducing this new line that has all of the benefits of our other fabrics, with bleach, water and flame retardant qualities, but with the huge added benefit of also being impressively sustainable,” commented Driessen.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4711" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vyva Fabrics (Company)">Vyva</a> Fabrics will be exhibiting the new line, alongside its Hemp Collection and selection of yachting flooring and fabrics at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="METS (Company)">METSTRADE</a> in Amsterdam, which runs from the 16th-18th of November.

It further emphasises the rights of people with disabilities, promotes the preservation of the marine environment by minimising plastic use and preventing pollution, requires adherence to safe navigation guidelines, and ensures that charterers comply with the terms of their contracts.The introduction of the new regulation coincides with the launch of SRSA’s awareness campaign, “More Than a Sea,” through which the Authority underscores its role in developing a thriving coastal tourism sector.

The breakdown by region indicates varied performance: revenues in the Americas grew by 9.2%, while the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region saw an increase of 20.9%. The Middle East and Africa (MEA) region recorded a significant rise of 142.0%. In contrast, Europe registered a decline of 9.9%. </li><li>EBITDA reached €74.2 million, marking a 9.7% increase from €67.7 million in the first half of 2023. This resulted in an EBITDA margin of 17.9% on Net Revenues from New Yachts, an improvement of 50 basis points. </li><li>EBIT stood at €58.0 million, reflecting a 9.1% increase from €53.1 million in the first half of 2023.

Despite the financial impacts of acquiring the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a> Group and the non-recurring cash absorption for normalising working capital, the balance sheet remains robust.

Of this, €741.2 million is allocated for 2024, covering 83% of the annual guidance, with the remaining €623.4 million scheduled for distribution in subsequent years. This backlog provides an exceptional level of visibility, with 88% of it comprising orders from final clients. </li><li>The order intake reached €323.0 million.

As of 30 June 2024, the net backlog stood at €950.0 million, exceeding one times the annual revenues and substantially surpassing pre-Covid 'normal' levels.</li></ul>Massimo Perotti, Chairman and CEO, stated: “In the first half of 2024 and until today, we have faced and overcome several challenges with determination and a dynamic approach, fully reflected in our positive results. First and foremost, we have maintained our planned growth trajectory, further expanding margins and consolidating a robust net backlog, in the context of a complex and uncertain global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, from which even high-end luxury has not been immune.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/319400/image/large-61e24b536e7293fae90291fd0d189ce5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/319400">Consolidated net revenues new yachtsIn the first half of 2024, net revenues from new yachts reached €415.1 million, representing a 6.9% increase from €388.4 million in the same period of the previous year.The Yacht Division recorded net revenues of €241.7 million, a slight increase of 1% compared to €239.3 million in the first half of 2023.The Superyacht Division reported net revenues of €124.4 million, a growth of 17.6% from €105.8 million in the same period of 2023, driven by strong performance in the Alloy and Steel lines.Meanwhile, the Bluegame Division achieved net revenues of €49.0 million, up 13.1% from €43.2 million in the first half of 2023, supported by the continued success of the BGX73 model.The geographical breakdown reveals a rebound in the Americas, with revenues increasing by 9.2%.
