Low Net And EBITDA MarginsThin net and EBITDA margins leave the business exposed to input cost inflation and commodity price swings. As an edible-oil processor and distributor, AWL relies on volume to offset low per-unit profitability, limiting cushion for sustained margin preservation or unexpected cost shocks.
Poor Operating Cash ConversionVery low OCF-to-net-income implies reported profits are not yet reliably converted to operating cash, likely due to inventory/receivables or seasonal working capital. This constrains internal funding for growth and increases reliance on external liquidity in stress periods.
EPS Decline Indicates Earnings PressureA substantial year-over-year EPS decline signals pressure on per-share earnings—potentially from margin compression, higher costs, or one-offs. Persistent EPS weakness would challenge return expectations and could limit strategic investments funded from earnings.
