Challenges & actions
Risks, recommendations and decisions

Five challenges are holding back results
21
Input cost inflation
Arabica costs up 14% YoY; only 35% of volume is hedged
-0.8 pt gross margin
Labour cost pressure
Wages up 9% while rosters stay rigid across peak and off-peak
-1.1 pt EBITDA margin
Tanzania underperformance
Currency volatility and three delayed café openings
93.0% of target
Retention and service quality
Long peak-hour waits are the top theme in detractor feedback
71% vs 74% target
Expansion delays
17 of 20 planned cafés opened; permitting and fit-out slippage
17 of 20 openings
