FX Risk Nearly Killed Their Margin

International orders are great, until exchange rates turn against you.
A Dutch wholesaler ordered $120,000 worth of kitchen equipment from a US manufacturer. With a 30-day payment term, they were exposed to exchange rate volatility. A 3% drop in the euro’s value would wipe out €3,000 in margin. They had no FX strategy, just crossed fingers.

What happens next?

  • Margins shrink before goods even arrive.
  • Budgeting becomes unpredictable.
  • CFO faces tough questions at the board meeting.
  • Future international deals seem too risky.
  • Supplier relationships are strained over pricing inconsistencies.

📉 Profits vanish due to currency swings.
