Although I can not speak for him, I think that Mr. Landry (the CIBC analyst) was more concerned at Euro / Pound hedging (since AMCo's revs are in pounds but costs are Euros) as this is what would pressure margins. There isn't that much room there for error in contrast to the higher margins available in the N. American market. That was what kind of jumped out at me when Martin asked Kreppner "But if Euro weakens or strengthens against the pound that would put pressure on your margins, right?" Kreppner replied: "That would .... but that's not something that we are currently actively hedging at the moment."
As a global company the additional currency exposure Concordia has may increase or decrease your personal risk depending on how your portfolio is structured and what type of currency risk you want to have. It's not necessarily more risk unless you think having 100% US$ exposure is always optimal. Hopefully you can understand this.
Also, you've very conveniently left out the latter part of Kreppner's comment...."but if the Euro strengthens at the pound you also get your Euro denominated revenue increasing.
So it all washed" You're sneaky.
