High LeverageA 6–7x debt-to-equity profile materially increases sensitivity to funding-cost swings and credit-cycle stress for an NBFC. High structural leverage limits financial flexibility, raises refinancing and capital-risk concerns, and can amplify earnings volatility if asset yields or recoveries deteriorate.
Volatile Cash GenerationLarge year-to-year swings in operating and free cash flow reduce predictability of internal funding and heighten liquidity risk. For a lending franchise, inconsistent cash conversion complicates funding strategy, provisioning and dividend policy, and may force more expensive external financing during weak years.
Recent Revenue ContractionA pronounced one-year revenue drop of ~34% can signal weaker origination, lower disbursements or asset turnover, which undercuts interest income and future spread generation. If this trend persists, it pressures margins, earnings sustainability and the ability to grow the loan book over the medium term.
