Balance Sheet LeverageNegative shareholders’ equity and high leverage materially constrain strategic flexibility. Persisting over months, this limits access to conventional financing, raises funding costs, and increases insolvency risk, making it difficult to invest in operations or restructure without significant external capital.
Revenue Decline & Negative MarginsSustained revenue decline and negative gross/EBITDA margins point to structural competitiveness or demand challenges. Over the medium term this erodes reserves, prevents reinvestment in higher‑value products, and risks prolonged underutilization of capacity absent operational turnaround.
Weak Cash GenerationInconsistent operating cash flow and historical negative OCF reduce internal funding ability. Even with a 2025 free cash flow uptick, uneven cash conversion creates ongoing liquidity risk, threatening supplier terms, working capital and the ability to service debt without fresh financing.
