Persistent Negative Operating And Free Cash FlowChronic cash burn undermines internal funding for projects and forces dependence on external financing. In a capital-intensive construction business this raises refinancing, liquidity and working-capital risks that can persist across quarters and amplify stress in downturns.
High And Rising LeverageMaterial increase in debt and high leverage reduce financial flexibility and increase interest/covenant vulnerability. Elevated leverage limits the company's ability to absorb revenue shocks or finance new projects organically, raising structural refinancing risk.
Softening Revenue MomentumDeclining revenue momentum erodes scale benefits and can pressure margins and working capital over several quarters. For a developer, weaker sales volumes lengthen project cash conversion cycles and can exacerbate funding gaps while fixed costs and debt remain.
