Capex plans

The transcript does not explicitly mention any specific current or future capex, capital investment, or strategic investment plans. However, some relevant points include: - Focus on expanding distribution within existing markets (increasing reach from 3 million to 3.5 million outlets over the next two years). - Investments in brand-building activities, with advertising and A&P spend increased for demand generation and competition management. - Introduction of a hub-and-spoke model to strengthen supply chain capabilities and improve product availability in key markets. - No mention of substantial increase in overall expenses or investments; the management aims to keep expense ratio around 13%-14%. - Margin expansion goals suggest some investment into operating leverage and cost management but no large-scale capex outlined. Overall, strategic investments seem focused on distribution expansion, brand marketing, and supply chain optimization rather than large capex projects.
