  • GP composite +0.5 pts YoY. Beauty + supplements lane carrying the GP mix at 20.8%; protecting that sector through onboarding decisions.

  • Working capital cycle down 4 days vs last quarter — DSO improvement on the move from monthly to weekly billing for subscription clients.

  • Top-3 customer concentration at 34%. Healthy spread vs sector — sub-40% is the operator target for an SME-3PL of this scale.

Risk surface · top 3

  • Drift Coffee · GP slipping

    GP% down 1.4 pts YoY on subscription-bundle picking. Mix-shift to the new pack spec should recover 0.6 pts by Q3.

  • Aurora Wellness · capsule reconfig risk

    New SKU bundle picking sequence has flagged five QA exceptions in week one. Two QA shifts added Monday; expect to be clean by Friday.

  • Tideline Apparel · SS27 capacity

    SS27 launch volumes 2.4x last year. Pick floor capacity already at 78% — wave rebalance booked, two pickers start Monday.
