Long-term profitabilityOne thing that I think we've lost sight of considering the lowered sales is that this company does have a solid base business, and that if it isn't for heavy investment in it's future, it would currently be profitable.
The heavy investment in R+D and CapEx has resulted in short term defecits, but excluding that investment, it is profitable. Depending on how much more investment is required to get their new projects up and running, the company should be close to tapering costs and increasing sales as the new products come onboard and they shut down the old plant.The new plant is built and fully commissioned and they can partner with other firms on functional drink, etc. for future rollouts. They can also access relatively cheap debt as they have a strong balance sheet if they need the bridge to fill the gap until sales ramp up.
I'm not holding my breathe on the timeline, but I think it's logical to think that this company will return to profitability soon.
