    My preliminary thoughts on the latest update:

    1. Very stong expansion in Gross Margin to 65.6% from just 56.6% only 6 months ago. The higher the gross margin, the more capital a company retains, which it can then use to help support sustainable growth.
    2. Over the last 6 months, JAN has used $3.0M of the additional $4.7M of Gross Profit in increased Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses are the engine room of innovation, sales, marketing and (non-capitalised) research and development. This gives me confidence about continued stong growth for JAN.
    3. Because of this increased investment in growth, EBITDA and profit growth has been delayed. IMO both profit measures will be higher and grow faster within the next 2 years than if JAN had prioritised early profit growth by not investing for growth. Shareholders should benefit from that.
