DROPPED
Double retail outlet reach to 3 lakh in 3 years

Management aims to double direct retail outlet coverage from ~1.5 lakh to 3 lakh within three years, supported by portfolio expansion.

NEW RISK
Green coffee price volatility post-Tet holidays

If farmers hold stocks after Tet, prices could spike again, disrupting customer ordering patterns and working capital.

NEW RISK
Potential slowdown in volume growth on high base

Q4 FY25 was a high base quarter; volume growth may moderate, though management expects similar trajectory.

NEW RISK
Plant-based meat category shutdown

The plant-based meat category underperformed and was shut down; re-entry into protein category is uncertain.

NEW RISK
Foreign exchange impact on net exporter position

Rupee depreciation could create minor exchange losses, though naturally hedged via imports.

RISK GONE
Volatile green coffee prices

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

RISK GONE
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.

RISK GONE
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.

RISK GONE
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.
