fundraise

Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

- The management has not mentioned any specific plans or timelines for new fundraising through debt or equity. - They are currently comfortable with the existing debt levels as it is effectively converted into inventory which generates revenue. - There is no expressed concern or indication that they would need to raise equity in the near term. - The company follows a cautious approach, scaling debt as demand and inventory requirements increase, with strong fundamentals backing this strategy. - For mainboard listing, which may require higher net worth, the management has no set date and will announce updates publicly when ready. - Overall, no immediate or explicit plans for fresh fundraising through debt or equity were shared in the discussion.

capex

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

- Currently, there are no immediate plans for any capex or warehouse expansion this year. - The company continuously looks to expand warehousing and order processing capacity as part of its annual targets due to SKU growth and shipment needs. - Past warehouse setup (moved 4-5 years ago) was intended to support 4-5 years of stable operations but became insufficient in 2-3 years, indicating ongoing assessment of capacity needs. - Investments are primarily focused on building teams and product development for proprietary products (ROBU 2.0) rather than heavy equipment or inventory investments. - Strategic investment emphasis lies on developing in-house branded products and scaling development teams rather than physical infrastructure currently. - Capital investment decisions for warehouse expansion or major infrastructure upgrades will depend on demand and growth projections, implying potential future capex when necessary.
