Capex plans

Yes
  • EPL Limited plans to add capacity based on customer commitments; capacity expansions are modular and can be plugged in quickly as demand accelerates.

  • CapEx investments are currently aligned with growth ambitions, such as in Brazil where the new line installations and utility setups are ready; new lines will be added as orders come in.
  • Debt is being leveraged prudently to fund growth CapEx, with careful attention to not compromise growth for paying off debt.
  • The company continues to invest in capability building, including employee-related investments linked to future performance improvements.
  • No explicit mention of large-scale future greenfield projects, but growth-driven capacity additions and M&A remain part of the overall strategy.
