Revenue VolatilityHistoric revenue fluctuations and a recent decline reduce predictability of cash flows. For a generation business, this can reflect variability in generation, merchant exposure or contract timing, complicating multi‑period planning and capacity to commit to new projects.
Modest ROEA low ROE (~3.6%) suggests limited returns on shareholder capital in this capital‑intensive industry. Persistently modest ROE can constrain the company's ability to attract equity investment and indicates potential underutilization of capital or pressure on net profitability.
Declining Free Cash FlowA recent decline in free cash flow reduces the headroom for growth capex, debt repayment and shareholder returns. If sustained, it increases dependence on external funding and forces tradeoffs between maintenance, expansion and deleveraging over the next several quarters.
