Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you discuss your journey towards cash flow neutrality and positivity next year? How much will be attributed to revenue growth versus operating costs?

Doubling our revenue with current margins will help achieve EBITDA growth and positive cash flow. The ERP upgrade will enhance efficiency and reduce operating costs.

We're focusing on cost containment, and the ERP system will provide operational efficiency, reducing expenses.
