Persistent Negative Net Income & Cash FlowDespite better EBITDA, the company remains loss-making at net and EBIT levels and continues to generate negative operating and free cash flow. This structural cash deficit increases funding dependence, heightens dilution or refinancing risk, and constrains long-term self-funded growth.

Without consistent revenue growth, the strong gross margins may not translate into durable returns or improved ROE, limiting the firm's capacity to scale profitably.
