Q: Can you explain the dynamics in the German market during Q4 2024, as growth seemed to slow compared to previous quarters? A: (CEO) In Q4, we experienced some delays, but these were temporary. We are building a stronger supply chain for 2025, and Q1 is already showing promising results. The slowdown was not indicative of ongoing issues but rather part of the supply chain development process.

Q: How is the competitive landscape in Germany affecting your operations, particularly regarding pricing? A: (CEO) The German market is dynamic and competitive, with consistent leading competitors. We anticipate price compression, which we have factored into our plans. Despite this, our value products remain successful, and we do not foresee major changes in the competitive landscape.

Q: With the expected price compression, how do you foresee the margin profile evolving in 2025? A: (CEO) While political changes in Germany add uncertainty, we do not expect margins to decrease. In fact, they might improve as we have cleared old inventory and are set to meet high demand with new stock. The 20% gross margin seen in 2024 is not our target level.

Q: Can you provide an update on the Israeli market and your expectations for 2025? A: (CEO) We do not anticipate significant growth in the Israeli market unless there are regulatory changes. Our focus remains on Germany for growth, as the Israeli market is expected to remain stable.

Q: What are your plans for financing operations moving forward? A: (CFO) We plan to finance operations through existing and future working capital resources and available credit facilities. We will continue to evaluate additional sources of capital and financing as needed.
