The earnings call highlights several challenges, including declining net sales, increased costs, and a net loss. While there are strategic initiatives in place, such as leveraging the DSD network and a strategic committee, the persistent pressure on gross margins and macroeconomic headwinds are concerning. Additionally, the lack of discussion on shareholder returns and the absence of clear guidance further contribute to a negative sentiment. The market is likely to react negatively due to these factors, despite some cost management improvements and potential future gross margin recovery.
