NEW RISK
Volatile green coffee prices

Green coffee prices remain volatile due to conflicting crop reports from Vietnam and Brazil, impacting customer sentiment and contract duration.

NEW RISK
US tariff impact on India-origin coffee

High US tariffs on Indian coffee persist, though mitigated by diverting business to Vietnam. Any escalation could affect competitiveness.

NEW RISK
New capacity ramp-up slower than expected

New capacity utilization is only 15-20%, and full ramp-up may take 3-4 years, potentially limiting near-term margin expansion.

NEW RISK
B2C margin reinvestment limiting profitability

B2C EBITDA margins are maintained at 5-6% as profits are reinvested into brand building and new categories, delaying margin improvement.

RISK GONE
Green coffee price volatility

Prices have softened but remain volatile with daily fluctuations of ~$100, making buyers tentative and delaying long-term contracts.

RISK GONE
Impact of US tariffs on Brazil coffee

50% tariff on Brazil could shift trade flows, but uncertainty around exemptions and implementation may affect sourcing and pricing.

RISK GONE
Interest cost pressure from high debt

Interest cost at ₹34 crore per quarter is at peak levels; reduction depends on debt repayment and lower working capital, with a lag effect.

RISK GONE
Brand taste consistency risk

An analyst raised customer feedback about taste changes due to blend adjustments; management claims rigorous consumer testing but risk remains.
