Negative Free Cash FlowPersistent negative free cash flow from heavy capex is a structural constraint on liquidity. Over months this limits internal funding for operations or expansions, raising reliance on external financing and increasing execution and refinancing risk if capital markets tighten or project commissioning delays occur.
Leverage RiskMaterial leverage increases interest and refinancing exposure, particularly if rates rise. Structurally, elevated debt weighs on financial flexibility, can raise fixed costs, and reduces the buffer to absorb slowdowns in generation or project delays, making long-term strategy more sensitive to funding conditions.
Cash Conversion & LiquiditySubpar cash conversion (OCF/Net Income 0.65) means reported profits do not fully convert to cash, compounding negative FCF issues. Structurally this weakens the company’s ability to service debt, fund maintenance or new projects from operations, and may force dilutive or costly external funding.
