As a commodity business, cashew and nut prices fluctuate based on global supply, port disruptions, and freight costs. Management acknowledged uncertainty in freight and logistics can impact margins.
Despite diversification plans, cashew currently constitutes ~95% of revenue. A significant price decline or supply disruption in African sourcing could materially impact results.
Almonds yield only 4-5% margins versus 16-20% for cashew processing. Aggressive expansion into traded nuts could compress blended margins despite higher revenue.
Management deflected the question on midterm margin targets, citing forward-looking statement restrictions. Execution on the CNSL facility and demand for industrial oil products remains unproven.
