The case
GreenBite Snacks has seen EBITDA fall from $42M in 2023 to $30M in 2024 even though revenue grew slightly. The CEO wants a simple, data-backed plan to restore profitability over the next 12 months.
GreenBite sells snacks through grocery, convenience, and e-commerce channels in the U.S. Management believes promotions and logistics may be pressuring margins, but wants clear prioritization of what to fix first.
