The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
The 42% profit decline despite revenue growth suggests meaningful margin compression and weak operating leverage. The halving of Consumer Products Group revenue removes a potentially higher-margin, more diversified earnings stream, while sugar growth may be cyclical and vulnerable to commodity prices, cane availability and regulatory controls. If higher costs are structural rather than temporary, modest topline growth may not translate into a near-term profit recovery.
