Fundraise plans
- The company currently has no immediate plans for new debt fundraising, as the Vietnam expanded capacity loan was completed in March 2023 and related interest is accounted for.
- Interest costs have increased due to higher working capital borrowings aligned with business volume growth and current interest rate rises, but no new loans have been indicated.
- Management mentioned that if coffee prices stabilize, free cash flows could fund CAPEX internally without external borrowing.
- Plans indicate that the company aims to become debt-free in about 3-4 years if no new expansions are undertaken.
- However, future expansions or growth could change debt requirements, and management finds it difficult to comment definitively now on future funding needs.
- No specific plans for equity fundraising or brand listing in the near to medium term; branded business remains part of the parent company.
