Net Losses PersistDespite EBITDA improvement, a ~-14% net margin shows other costs (interest, D&A, taxes) still push the company into loss. Persistent net losses weaken retained earnings, limit reinvestment capacity, and prolong dependence on external funding to sustain growth.
Negative Cash Flow ProfileConsistent negative operating and free cash flow means the business is not self-funding and requires ongoing external capital or debt. Over a medium horizon this constrains strategic flexibility, increases refinancing risk, and can force dilution or cost cuts.
Elevated Leverage & Thin EquityHigh debt-to-equity driven by a very small equity base raises financial vulnerability. Elevated leverage reduces resilience to shocks, increases interest burden, and limits ability to raise non-dilutive capital, making longer-term funding and growth more challenging.
