Sijolise kwizixhobo zethu ekudaleni ixabiso ngezisombululo zethu zokupakisha ezinelungelo elilodwa lomenzi weBreatheWay.Itekhnoloji ngoku isetyenziselwa ukusonga iipaleti zamaqunube kwiDriscoll's.Njengomphumo wovavanyo oluyimpumelelo kumaziko okusasaza e-Driscoll's California, ngoku siye sandisa inkqubo yokusonga iipaliti ze-raspberry ze-Driscoll eMntla Melika.Ukongeza, iCuration Foods ikhusele ububodwa bodidi kunye nenkampani yokupakisha evelisa ipakethe yethu yeYucatan kunye nesingxobo esithambileyo esithambileyo.Le nkampani inamalungelo awodwa okusasaza eNyakatho Melika.Esi sisombululo sikhethekileyo sokupakisha sivumela ukusetyenziswa okukhulu kunye nokulula kunye nobomi obandisiweyo beshelufu okanye ukunciphisa inkunkuma.

Sikwasoloko sikhokela ngokusungula imveliso.Sinomfutho kwiimveliso zethu ezinegama leavokhado kwaye silwandisa uvavanyo lwethu lokupakisha kwimveliso yethu yeCabo Fresh.Sikwanothakazelelo ngokuphehlelelwa kwe-Eat Smart's brand restage, ecwangciselwe ukuba ikwintengiso kaJanuwari '20.Ngokusekwe kulwazi lwabathengi, isazisi esitsha sokupakisha sivavanywe kakuhle kakhulu kubathengi e-US naseCanada, kwaye silindele ukunyuswa kwesantya sokuthengisa.

Intsika yethu yesithathu yobuchule, umfutho wesiqingatha sesibini, kukugxila kwethu okuqhubekayo ekugqweseni kokusebenza ukuphucula umda opheleleyo.Iqela lenze uphuculo olubonakalayo ngokuqalisa iindlela zokuvelisa ezinqabileyo kwimisebenzi yethu e-Tanok, eMexico apho senza i-Yucatan yethu kunye neemveliso ze-avocado zeCabo Fresh.

Isiphumo sezenzo zethu siquka i-40% yokuphuculwa kwegatya lokuguqulwa kwemveliso kunye nokunciphisa i-50% kwiindleko zeziqhamo eziluhlaza.Enyanisweni, ukuqala kweyoMqungu ka-'20, i-80% yoluhlu lwethu lwempahla kulindeleke ukuba lwenziwe ngeziqhamo ezinexabiso eliphantsi.Olu phuculo luya kunciphisa iindleko zizonke eziqikelelwayo ngama-28% kwisiqingatha sesibini semali engu-'20.Okubalulekileyo, ngenxa yezi nzame, sijonge ukunikezela ngekota yesine imida yegross eyi-28% ubuncinane kwimveliso yethu yeeavokhado ze-Yucatan kunye neCabo Fresh.

Njengoko besinxibelelana, intsika yethu yesine yobuchule kukugxila kwethu ekukhupheni iindleko kwishishini lethu.Inkqubo yeCuration Foods ibiza ngaphandle isendleleni yokufikelela usukelo lwethu lwe-18 yezigidi zeedola ukuya kwi-20 yezigidi zeerandi kwimali engu-'20 kunye ne-45% yogcino lwethu oluqikelelwayo yamkelwa kwikota yesine.Njengenxalenye yale nkqubo, namhlanje siye sabhengeza ukuba sidibanisa ukusuka kwiikontraka ezimbini ukuya kwikontraka enye yabasebenzi kwiziko laseGuadalupe California, eliza kubonelela ngogcino lonyaka lwe-1.7 yezigidi zeedola.Kwakhona siya kuxhamla kwiintshukumo zeProjekthi ye-SWIFT kwaye ukonga kule nkqubo kuya kuqalisa ukwenzeka kwikota yesine yalo nyaka-mali.

Njengoko kukhankanyiwe kwiingxelo zam zokuvula, akukho nanye kwezi mpumelelo enokwenzeka ngaphandle kwabantu abafanelekileyo kwimisebenzi eyiyo egxile kwaye basebenze kunye kwindawo enye esembindini.Ndiyakholelwa ukuba iqela lam liza kuqhubela phambili i-ajenda yethu yobuchule ukwenza lula ishishini lethu kunye nokuphucula inzuzo.

Ngamafutshane, sinethemba kwisikhokelo sethu semali ka-'20.Iqela laseLandec ligxile ekudaleni ixabiso ngokufezekisa izinto ebesijolise kuzo ngokwezemali, ukomeleza i-balance sheet yethu, ukuphumeza izinto esizifunayo ukuze siphucule imida yokusebenza kwiCuration Foods nakwiLifecore utyalo-mali ekukhuleni nasekuqhubeni phambili umfutho.Ndiqinisekile kwisicwangciso sethu sokwenza utshintsho oluyimfuneko ukuze siphumelele kwaye sikhuseleke ukukhula okunengeniso yexesha elide ukuhambisa ixabiso kubathengi bethu, abathengi kunye nabaninizabelo.

Ndiyayibulela loo nto.Ndiyayibulela loo nto ibingumbuzo obanzi, oluncedo kakhulu apho.Ndizoyishiya apho.Best of luck wonke umntu.

Enkosi.Umbuzo wethu olandelayo uvela kumgca ka-Anthony Vendetti kunye neQela likaMaxim.Nceda uqhubeke nombuzo wakho.

Bendifuna ukugxila ku-- molweni bafo.Ndandifuna ukugxila kumda opheleleyo.Ndiyazi, njengoko sihamba unyaka, ngakumbi iYucatan iya kunyuka iye kuthi ga kwi-28%.I-Lifecore iya kuqhubeka nokunyuka njengoko besendleleni yekota yabo engcono kwikota yesine.Ke, ndiyabona ukuba--ndibona irempu isenzeka.Bendizibuza nje ukuba sijonge kumda we-gross gross kwikota yesine, ngaba sinalo uluhlu lwento esilindele ukuba ibe kuyo?

Ewe.Ewe, kukho inani lamathemba okuba siqhuba ngokuchasene neProjekthi ye-SWIFT njalo njalo, kwaye-ndithetha ngokunjalo, iindleko eziphumayo ndingade ndibe neentloni ukukunika inani elichanekileyo, kodwa kukho izinto ezininzi. esisebenza kuyo apha esilindele ukuqhubeka siphucula umda wethu kwikota yesine ngokunjalo ukusukela umxube wemveliso yesaladi kwindawo ezinzileyo yokukhangela imveliso ekrwada.

Ewe.Anthony, xa ndithatha i-helm kwimida yesaladi yayiyancipha.Ingeniso yethu ibilungile, kodwa imida yesaladi yethu ibiyehla.Enye yaloo nto yayiyingxubevange.Sinemveliso enye egqithisayo kwiindidi.Ibiyinto entsha emnandi kuthi, kodwa yaqala phakathi kwiminyaka yeshumi elivisayo ngokwemida, kwaye siye sazama kakhulu apha kwisiqingatha sokuqala ngokwenza izinto ezininzi, kubandakanya nokunciphisa ukupakishwa. imveliso yethu enefuthe elincinane kakhulu kubathengi.Ke silindele ukufumana ezi phakheji zenkonzo enye kwenye indawo phakathi kwe-20%s kulapho sijolise khona.Kwaye loo nto iza kusinceda kakhulu ngenkqubo yokuphucula umda, kwaye sibona umxube oncomekayo kulo nyaka, osinceda nathi kwisaladi yethu.

Ngoko, sibona isaladi iphucula.Ndicinga ukuba ufumana okwenzekayo ezantsi eMexico, iimveliso zeavokhado.Kwaye sigxile ngokwenene ekuqhubeni inzuzo yeli shishini.Ngaba oko kuyanceda?

Ewe, ewe, uAl.Kwaye ngokwemigaqo nje, ndiyazi, kugxilwe ekuphuculeni ukutya kweCuration.Kwaye uchaze inani leeprojekthi ozenzayo zonke ngaxeshanye.Ngaba kukho eminye imigca yeshishini ecacileyo ekufuneka isuswe okanye itshintshwe ngokukhawuleza okanye into oyityhilileyo ngoku kwiinyanga ezintandathu okanye ezisixhenxe ezidlulileyo intle kakhulu?

Hayi ke, bendingatsho ukuba sigqibile.Kulungile?Ke iProjekthi ye-SWIFT yile, siyikhabile namhlanje.Yinkqubo yethu yokuphucula okuqhubekayo iinzame ezigxile ekuqhubeni inzuzo kunye nokukhulisa i-EBITDA yokuTya kuCuration.Ngoko ke ayisosiganeko sexesha elinye, yinkqubo esiyiqalisileyo.Kwaye sigxile kwaye sibandakanyeka kuloo nto.Ngoko, mhlawumbi kuninzi okuzayo.Thina ngaphandle kokufumana eli shishini apho lisiqhubela khona ngokwenene.

Ngokuqinisekileyo, oko kuluncedo.Umbuzo nje wemali okhawulezayo kaBrian.Ke, intlawulo yohlengahlengiso ye-2.4 yezigidi zeedola, njengoko siqhuba loo modeli, yayiyintoni loo rhafu yezigidi ezi-2.4 zeerandi kwikota?

Enkosi.Umbuzo wethu olandelayo uvela kumgca weGerry Sweeney kunye neRoth Capital Partners.Nceda uqhubeke nombuzo wakho.

Ndandinombuzo kwiLifecore, eneneni isibini.Kodwa ukuqala kwicala le-capex, i-capex ibikhona kakhulu kwiminyaka emihlanu edlulileyo.Ngokwenene ndifumene imibuzo embalwa engaphakathi kule nto.Ndicinga ukuba le capex kufuneka ithobe emva kokugqitywa ezinye iinzame zokwandisa.Ndicinga ukuba bandise indawo yabo kwiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo, esona sakhiwo kwaye ngoku bafumana umgca wokuzalisa isitya.Lithini inqanaba le-capex yolondolozo lwe-Lifecore nje ukuba lonke olu lwandiso lwenziwe?

Gerry, lo nguJim.Ngokwesiqhelo i-capex yethu yolondolozo minyaka le ikuluhlu lwezigidi ezi-4 zeerandi ukuya kwi-5 yezigidi.Kwaye unyanisile, uninzi lwe-capex esiyichithayo kukulawula umthamo njengoko umthamo wethu unyuka ngorhwebo lombhobho wophuhliso.

Ndiyifumene.Kwaye kulungile ukuthetha, unga--andiqinisekanga ukuba ichanekile na kodwa ingeniso ephindwe kabini phambi kwalo naluphi na utyalo-mali olukhulu lwe-capex.Ngokucacileyo ungatyala imali kwangoko kunoko, kodwa ukugqiba kwakho unamandla amaninzi yeyona nto ndiyifumanayo.

Kunene.Ngokuqhelekileyo asityali mali ngaphandle kokuba ishishini liyasiyalela.Kodwa ndiza kukunika umzekelo-njengokufaka umgca wokuzalisa omtsha yinkqubo yeminyaka emithathu ukuya kwemine.Ke sichitha ixesha elininzi sivavanya ukuba amandla ethu anokubakho kufuneka aye phi ngokusekwe kwiimveliso esisebenza kuzo kumbhobho wethu kwaye kufuneka senze utyalo-mali oluthile, ngakumbi kwizixhobo zokuzalisa ezinkulu okanye izixhobo zokupakisha, kakuhle ngaphambi kokuba umthamo olindelekileyo uyafuneka.Ke -- kodwa ihlala ilinganiswa ngokuchasene nethuba leshishini ukuba imbuyekezo yotyalo-mali iya kuba yintoni, njl.

Ndiyifumene.Kuluncedo oko.Enkosi.Emva koko utshintshe iigiya ubuyele kwiCuration Foods.Into enye endinengxaki encinci yokuqhawula, uthethe ngengeniso ephantsi kwi-veggie kwindawo yetreyi, ekucacileyo ukuba yayigxininisekile, kodwa oku kukhokelele kwimpembelelo kwicala lenzuzo enkulu.Ngaphambili bendiqhuba phantsi kwengcinga yokuba elinye leli shishini lalinomda ophantsi okanye alinamda.Ke ukuba ufuna ukugxininisa eli shishini, kwaye kukho impembelelo kumgca wenzuzo enkulu, kwaye emva kwimvulophu bendicinga ukusebenzisa ingxoxo yethu ngaphambili cinga malunga ne-1 yezigidi zeedola ukusuka--kwinzuzo enkulu mhlawumbi evela kwi-veggie in. indawo yetreyi.Ndithetha ukuba, le ibiyingeniso yengeniso yeedola eziphume ngomnyango.Kwaye ukuba ufuna ukuyigxininisa loo nto, ndiyathetha, lenza njani isikweri ixesha elide malunga nokugxininisa elo shishini ngaphandle kokurhwaphiliza ingeniso yakho yonke yeedola?Ndinengxaki yokudibanisa ezi zimbini ukuba iyavakala?

Ewe.Ke, xa sisithi sigxininise, besihamba kwinkqubo yohlengahlengiso lwe-SKU kunye nabathengi bethu, kwaye ayisiyonto onokuyenza ngobusuku.Kufuneka usebenze nabo, ngoko kuya kubakho umphumo kwelinye ishishini.Ke eyona nto sizama ukuyenza, umsebenzi wayo kwinkqubo kukuba sibe nomda omncinci esiza kuwufuna phambi kokuba sithengise imveliso.

Yiloo nto kanye esizama ukuyenza apha, kodwa imiqobo kumbutho weentengiso, sebenza nabathengi bethu ekuphuculeni inzuzo epheleleyo ngomgca ngokohlobo endikubiza ngokuba ludityaniso ngokuthabatha.Ukhupha ezinye izinto kwaye ngokwenene uphucula imida yakho.Ke ngokwenene inomzamo ogxile kakhulu, kwakhona amehlo ethu ekuqhubeni inzuzo, hayi ukuqhuba ingeniso.

Ndiyifumene.Ndothuswe kukuba ingakanani inzuzo eyongeziweyo ngokuthabatha icingelwa ukuba ingeniso epheleleyo inokuba ithe tyaba malunga nokususwa kweveggie kwishishini letreyi, kodwa ukuba ndijonge ngokupheleleyo apho, buyela umva...

Kulungile, oko kuchaphazele ingeniso yethu epheleleyo.Ke, ibingezombotyi eziluhlaza kuphela kodwa uneqela lezinye izinto kunye neemveliso zeavokhado ngokunjalo.

Ke, kwisiqingatha sokuqala sonyaka kwaye, njengoko besitshilo, siya-- oko kuya kuguquka-imveliso yeeavokhado iya kujika kwisiqingatha sesibini sonyaka.

Ndiyifumene.Kwaye ke, okokugqibela, ukucinga nje nge [Indecipherable], incinci inkcukacha ekukhutshweni kwepakethe entsha yokucudisa.Yinkqubo yokuyifaka, ndiyacinga, kwikhonkco levenkile enkulu.Mhlawumbi amagqabantshintshi malunga nokuba zingaphi iivenkile onokuthi uzikhuphe kwaye sijonga njani ku-2020 kunye no-2021.

Ewe.Ke sayiqengqa eWalmart.Kukufezekisa isantya eWalmart abasilindeleyo kudidi.Ngokwenene ithengisa ngesantya esifanayo nemveliso yethu yangoku iseti eWalmart.Sinovavanyo kwaye sifunde inkqubo eqhubekayo eChicago kwaye [engenakuchazwa] abathengi abahlukeneyo kunomthengi oqhelekileyo weWalmart.

Ke inani lezinto eziqhubekayo apho.Sibonise kwinani elikhulu labathengisi abakhulu e-US.Kwaye sikhona ngoku ekubafakeni kuluhlu lwabo lokuseta ukuba kungenzeka kwisithuba seenyanga ezintandathu ezizayo.Ngoko siziva silungile ngaloo nto.

Enkosi.Umbuzo wethu olandelayo uvela kumgca weMitch Pinheiro kunye neSturdivant & Company.Nceda uqhubeke nombuzo wakho.

Mholo.Mholo ngalentsasa.Imibuzo emibini apha.Ke isiphelo esilayishiweyo kwimeko yokusebenza kwalo nyaka-mali.Ndiyathetha, luhlobo luni lomda wokhuseleko esinalo kuqikelelo?Ndandicinga ukuba kukho into eyakhelweyo kulo nyaka-mali.Kwaye ikhe yasetyenziswa?Ingaba -- ibingonelanga?Ngaba isaza kusetyenziselwa ukufakwa kwi [Phonetic]?

Ewe.Ewe, lo nguBrian.Ininzi ke loo nto, yi-conservatism eneneni kunye nesikhokhelo esakha kuso. Siyakhela kwisiqingatha sesibini sonyaka, ngakumbi kwikota yesithathu.Kodwa ngokunjalo, enye yezinto ezinkulu ezichaphazela ngokuncomekayo ujingi lomda kwaye ngokwenene yasithwalisa umthwalo kwinxalenye yokuqala yonyaka, kwaye inokubhideka kwezinye zezinto esithetha ngazo.

Sasinemali eyi-30 yezigidi zeerandi kwi-Yucatan kwisiqingatha sokuqala sonyaka kwaye ngenxa yemicimbi kunye neendleko zethu ze-avocado kunye neendleko zeziqhamo, kwakuphantse kube yi-breakeven business.Kwisiqingatha sesibini sonyaka, kwaye ngakumbi kwikota yesine, sinikwe utshintsho kwimodeli yokusebenza esiyibonayo ngokuzinzileyo ukuya phambili, sijonge imida kwikota yesine kwi-28% okanye ngaphezulu indawo yeemveliso zeeavokhado.Oko kukhulu.Kwaye oko kuya kulutshintsha ngenene ubume bomda kwisiqingatha sesibini sonyaka xa kuthelekiswa nesiqingatha sokuqala sonyaka.Kwaye ke, luhlobo olufakwe kushicilelo lweendaba, kunokuba nzima kancinci ukuyikhupha, kodwa yeyona nto iphambili, umqhubi omkhulu weendleko eziphumayo malunga nezinto ezijingayo.

Ke, unayo--ke uneYucatan ethandekayo, esisandula ukuyichaza, unezinye iindleko eziphumileyo, i-45% ye-18-plus-million yezigidi olindele ukuyifumana.UneProjekthi ye-SWIFT eqhubekayo kunye nemizamo.Uyahamba-ndiyathetha, ngaphandle kwenxalenye yeyokuqala kodwa uhambisa ikomkhulu leshishini eSanta Maria kwaye uvale iLos Angeles, uvale i-Ontario, yonke into eyakha kwikota yesine.Akuzukubakho-- ndiyathetha, ingaba le yinto apho sisenomda wokhuseleko ngaphaya kwayo yonke le nto?Kuba yonke into-ekuphela kwento engaguqukiyo ngeLandec kule minyaka ili-10 idlulileyo ibe kukungangqinelani kwayo.Kwaye zonke ziqhutywa yimiba enzima kakhulu yonikezelo lwekhonkco.

Kwaye ke, ukuba sifumana -- ukuba sifumana kushushu ngokwenene okanye komile ehlotyeni okanye kumanzi kwaye kubanda ehlotyeni, ingaba ikota yesine isazakubakho kwisikhokelo?

Ewe.Ngoko ke mandidibanise kancinane apha kuloo nto.Ke, ngoku, sinomfutho kwishishini lethu lekhithi yesaladi.Kwaye oko kuza ngcono kunokuba bekucwangcisiwe ngokwesiqingatha sesibini sonyaka.Siza kuhlala sibona ukuphucuka komda kwishishini lethu lesaladi.

Kwaye ke, sinobuninzi bokuphumla ngokwembono yemozulu kwi-Q3.Kwaye sisebenze ngokunqamlezayo apha kwaye siziva ngathi sinomngcipheko ofanelekileyo owakhelwe kwisikhokelo se-Q3.Ke siziva ngathi isicwangciso sesiqingatha sesibini okanye ubuncinane ndiyaziva, kwaye ndiyazi ukuba iqela lam lenza ukuba isicwangciso sesiqingatha sesibini siqinile kunesicwangciso sesiqingatha sokuqala.Ndineenyanga ezintandathu kuphela ndilapha kwaye ndiye ndalazi ishishini kwaye leliphi iqela elitsha esilidibanise.Siziva kamnandi ngendlela esiqhube ngayo isiqingatha sesibini.

Kulungile.Iluncedo kakhulu.Izinto ezimbini ezincinci.I-BreatheWay, siya kuqala ukubona ingeniso evela kwi-BreatheWay kwi-Q3?

Ewe, lo nguBrian.Ewe, kwisiqingatha sesibini sonyaka, silindele ukuqhubeka nokuphucula kunye nokwandiswa kweBreatheWay.Isiqingatha sokuqala sonyaka besigxile kakhulu kuvavanyo njengoko sihamba ngeli xesha lonyaka nakwinxalenye yokugqibela yobusika nentwasahlobo.Siza kwandisa imiqulu yethu yonke kwaye sithathe ezinye iicoolers ezongezelelweyo kunye namaziko okuhambisa amaqunube.

Ngokwenyani isicwangciso sonyaka opheleleyo okwangoku, sijonge kuluhlu oluphakathi kwe-38 yezigidi zeedola kunye ne-42 yezigidi zeedola okanye i-60 yezigidi zeedola kwisiqingatha sokuqala sonyaka.Isiqingatha sesibini sonyaka sinoluhlu lwezigidi ezingama-22 ukuya kwi-26 yezigidi zeedola.Oko kunokujikeleza ngokuxhomekeke kwixesha, kwaye siza kubona ukuba njani.Ngokucacileyo sifuna ukuqiniseka ukuba siyawabetha amanani ethu kwikota yesine, ephela isantya okanye ithoba izinto.Ke, malunga ne-22 yezigidi zeedola ukuya kwi-26 yezigidi zeedola kwisiqingatha sesibini sonyaka, malunga nesibini kwisithathu saloo nto ikwikota yesine, kwaye igxile kwiLifecore.

Kuselithuba kakhulu ukwazi.Kodwa sikwinkqubo okwangoku yokuvavanya indlela yokuphelisa ezo zinto.Ke kuya kubakho okuninzi okuzayo kwabo bakwikota ezayo.

Ewe.Yonke le yinxalenye yeProjekthi ye-SWIFT esijonge kuyo ukuqhubeka nokwenza ngcono inethiwekhi yethu.Kwaye sigxile kakhulu kwi-balance sheet.

Ngaba iOli yeOlive entsha kunye neVinegar.Ngaba oko kuseyinxalenye yesicwangciso sakho?Asizange sive nto ngayo.Ubufuna nje ukwazi ukuba ime phi?
