Negative Operating Cash FlowSustained negative operating and free cash flows mean the business cannot self-fund operations or investments, forcing reliance on external financing. Over several months this erodes reserves, raises funding costs, and constrains reinvestment and operational flexibility.
Revenue Collapse & Profit VolatilityA deep revenue decline and volatile net income indicate weakening demand or execution issues. Persistent top-line contraction undermines margin recovery, complicates forecasting, deters counterparties, and reduces ability to invest in growth or regain scale over the coming months.
Rising LeverageAn increasing debt-to-equity ratio and falling equity elevate leverage risk, adding fixed obligations and interest burden. Higher leverage reduces financial flexibility and magnifies downside if earnings remain negative, limiting strategic options and amplifying risk over the medium term.
