Pre-revenue OperationsBeing effectively pre-revenue means the business lacks operating cash inflows and has no validated commercial model. This creates high execution and commercialization risk, limited visibility on sustainable margins, and dependence on future project success or commodity cycles to generate durable revenue.
Persistent Negative Cash FlowConsistent negative operating and free cash flow depletes reserves and forces recurring financing. Over the medium term this raises dilution risk, constrains investment in development or scale, and increases the company's vulnerability to funding market conditions despite low nominal debt.
Capital Durability & Equity VolatilityVolatile equity and deeply negative ROE reflect capital erosion from recurring losses. Without revenue, balance-sheet durability depends on fresh capital; this raises the probability of dilutive raises, erodes existing investor value over time, and can limit the company's strategic options.
