Free Cash Flow VolatilityVariable free cash flow driven by episodic large capital projects makes cash available for discretionary uses unpredictable. That volatility can constrain dividend policy or delay new investments in low revenue periods, and increases short‑term reliance on debt or timing of cash management decisions.
Rising Total Debt TrendAn upward trend in absolute debt, even with reasonable leverage ratios today, raises medium‑term refinancing and interest‑cost risk. If macro rates or tourism revenues weaken, higher debt levels reduce financial flexibility and could force cutbacks to capex or shareholder distributions to preserve credit metrics.

Any adverse change in licensing terms, brand access, or sustained weakness in inbound tourism would materially affect attendance, pricing power and ancillary spend, concentrating downside risk.
