My concern is that while the increase in profit is excellent, there is an increase in operating cash flow deficit, which is almost matched by cash flow from financing.
While I appreciate that meat companies cash flow can be lumpy, if the cash flow trend of the past two 6 month periods does not improve, I fear trouble ahead.
Any comments from sharechaters?
