Understanding Fresh Edge Profitability

Fresh Edge calculates profitability using EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization).
The formula for Fresh Edge's profit involves selling products for more than the purchase cost, covering expenses, and generating a profit in dollars.
Sales play a crucial role in generating gross profit by selling products at a price higher than the cost of goods.
Procurement's ability to secure products at competitive prices sets the stage for sales to generate margin.
Operations ensures efficient and timely handling and delivery of products.
Back office functions such as finance and HR support the business and optimize systems.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and scorecards are used to measure the financial health of the organization.
Cases or volume shipped is a crucial metric for understanding company growth and trends.
Gross profit per case helps in understanding pricing effectiveness and market price relevance.
Managing expenses involves distinguishing between fixed costs (e.g., rent, utilities) and variable expenses (e.g., payroll, fuel).
The example of selling avocados for $30 with a cost of $23.40 illustrates generating gross profit, managing expenses, and resulting EBITA.
Each role in the company, whether in sales, procurement, operations, or back office support, impacts the company's profitability by maximizing margins and controlling costs.
