EBITDA margin over 80% as production scales This guide focuses on seven actionable strategies to manage the $115 million in projected annual operating costs and variable expenses We detail how to optimize product mix, control highly variable input costs like leaf tobacco (up to $1900 per unit by 2030), and improve supply chain efficiency to reduce logistics spending from 40% to a target of 30% by 2030 You need to map cost structure to unit economics immediately\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-1_new_design\"
