Minimal Or No RevenuePersistent absence of meaningful revenue means Orcadian remains pre-revenue and dependent on external capital. Without operating income, the company cannot self-fund development, increasing execution risk for projects and heightening dependence on dilutive equity, partner funding, or debt to progress assets to production.
Persistent Negative Cash FlowConsistent negative operating and free cash flow forces continual capital raises or costly financing. That structural cash burn constrains long-term project timelines, raises dilution risk for shareholders, and limits the company's ability to self-fund capex necessary to move discoveries into commercial production.
Rising LeverageA near tripling of debt-to-equity over a few years raises fixed financial obligations and reduces balance sheet flexibility. Higher leverage increases refinancing risk and interest burden precisely when operating cash flows are negative, making it harder to fund development, negotiate partner terms, or respond to commodity and regulatory shocks.
