Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

The company plans to have a total debt of around INR 2,000 crores by March 31, 2025, assuming green coffee prices remain at $3,000 (worst-case scenario).

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

Current expansions aim to increase capacity from about 75,000 tons over the next 2 years, driven by strong demand and new customer acquisitions. Value-added products currently form 5-10% of volumes but are expected to increase, offering 50% to 150% higher margins compared to bulk products. Growth strategy

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

The company plans capacity expansions based on multiple factors: customer demand, market research, and order books. Last year, they procured around 3,000 metric tons of coffee from third parties due to capacity constraints, indicating firm demand. Some clients committed to freeze-dried coffee purchases upfront, underwriting capacity expansion. The current order book and confirmed orders provide assurance that the additional 3,000 to 4,000 tons of new capacity will be immediately utilized.

Category 2

Guidance indicates EBITDA growth in line with volume growth for the near term, with significant improvements anticipated beyond 2 years as value-added and specialty coffee segments grow.
Current expansions aim to increase capacity from about 75,000 tons over the next 2 years, driven by strong demand and new customer acquisitions.
Value-added products currently form 5-10% of volumes but are expected to increase, offering 50% to 150% higher margins compared to bulk products.
Growth strategy leverages market disruptions (COVID, geopolitical issues) as opportunities to onboard new clients and diversify supply chains.
Mix changes due to new spray-dried and freeze-dried capacities will affect near-term EBITDA but are part of long-term value creation plans.
The company balances capex decisions between market research and existing customer commitments.

Margin guidance

Category 3

- The company targets robust growth with approximately 20% EBITDA growth for the next 2 years, mainly volume-driven. - EBITDA growth is expected to be aligned with volume growth initially, without significant margin expansion due to capacity expansion primarily in spray-dried products. - Value-added and premium products currently constitute 5-10% of volumes, offering 50-150% higher margins, but their contribution is small and expected to gradually increase. - Post two years, as value-added products like small packs and freeze-dried coffee gain higher portfolio weight, better EBITDA margins are anticipated. - Operating earnings will be influenced by expansion in India and Vietnam, reaching potentially more than 75,000 tons capacity in 2 years. - EPS growth visibility remains positive with volume growth, despite increased costs and higher interest rates. - Free cash flow generation expected to start from fiscal 2026 onward after debt servicing and capex. Overall, earnings growth is volume-led with margin improvement expected in the medium term.
