Very High LeverageA heavily indebted capital structure limits financial flexibility and raises interest and refinancing risk. Elevated leverage reduces ability to absorb demand shocks, constrains strategic investments or M&A, and makes long-term earnings more sensitive to cash-flow volatility or rising rates.
Recent Revenue ContractionA steep top-line decline in 2025 and recent shrinking revenue impair scale economics and put sustained pressure on margins. If revenue erosion persists—particularly in legacy fixed-line—profitability gains and deleveraging will be harder to sustain despite operational cash strength.
Expense & FCF VolatilityVariable items—tax assessments, higher provisions for legal claims and employee retirement—create earnings and free-cash-flow volatility. Such unpredictable outflows complicate budgeting, slow debt reduction, and can erode margins over time, weakening long-term financial predictability.
