2. At a Glance
- Revenue down 9.4% – Sugar volumes went on a diet, didn’t tell revenue.
- EBITDA margin jumps to 10.75% – Suddenly sugar remembered how margins work.

- Sugar EBIT up 188% YoY – Less sugar sold, more money made. Irony lives.

- Country liquor steady – Boring, predictable, and quietly profitable.

“Profitability improved due to better sugar
