問：您能否提供有關食品和營養保健品相關 1 億美元銷售額以及轉化為天然色素的潛力的更多詳細信息？其中有多少處於重新配製或轉化過程中？答：首席執行官 Paul Manning：1 億美元的機會涵蓋了從糖果到飲料和加工食品的一系列客戶。最初，存在三類客戶：致力於轉化的客戶、對其進行評估的客戶和持懷疑態度的客戶。現在，大多數客戶都懷著期望轉向轉型 to meet the January 2028 deadline.Reformulation is complex, involving stability testing and consumer perception, but the urgency is aligning with customer narratives.

Q: What is driving the 11% growth in food and pharma if the $100 million conversion hasn't started yet?A: Paul Manning, CEO: The growth is due to a strong strategy focusing on differentiated, defensible business models and high product performance.We avoid commoditized business and focus on robust service levels and innovative products.The natural colors segment is recognized for its quality, contributing to our success.Less than a million dollars of the growth is from synthetic to natural conversions, indicating future potential.

故事還在繼續

Q: Regarding the $100 million target for conversion, are there opportunities outside your current customer base?Could some customers opt for less vibrant natural colors, affecting the 10 to 1 revenue conversion ratio?A: Paul Manning, CEO: We focus on technically differentiated natural colors and may not pursue all $100 million if it involves less exciting solutions.However, there are opportunities outside our current base, especially for technically challenging conversions.The 10 to 1 ratio is an average;由於製造條件，某些產品可能具有較高的比例。我們建議客戶匹配合成顏色以避免品牌風險，儘管有些產品可能會嘗試不太鮮豔的解決方案。

Q: How do you see private label brands, like Walmart, impacting the conversion to natural colors?Will this affect pricing or quality?A: Paul Manning, CEO: Walmart's commitment to convert its private brands to natural colors by January 2027 is significant, setting a precedent for others.This move aligns with consumer demand for natural colors and may accelerate timelines.Despite being lower price point items, private labels are unlikely to compromise on quality or pricing, as natural colors are becoming a standard expectation.

問：FDA 關於公認安全 (GRAS) 狀態的法規的潛在變化是否會影響您的業務？ 答：首席執行官 Paul Manning：GRAS 法規的變化不太可能影響我們的色素業務，因為合成色素已經受到嚴格監管。天然色素需要 FDA 申請才能使用，涉及嚴格的測試。 雖然變化可能會影響口味等其他領域，但對我們核心業務的影響預計很小。
