In this blog post, we delve into the importance of capex and opex, their impact on a company's profitability and growth, and the role of digital transformation in optimising these expenditures. We had the opportunity to talk to Lynn Hoendevanger, an Investment Consultant FMCG at Royal HaskoningDHV, whose insights have greatly enriched this post.
Drawing on data from Europe's diverse industrial sector, as well as Lynn's expert input, we will explore how businesses can maximise capex value and reduce opex to generate future value.
Balancing capex and opex is vital for financial success, requiring an understanding of their long-term implications on company reporting and external perceptions.
High operating expenses (opex) can erode profits and competitiveness, while strategic cost reduction can boost profitability without compromising quality.
Digital transformation optimises capex and opex by automating tasks, enabling data-driven decisions, and fostering innovation for potential new revenue streams.
