Consistently Negative Operating Cash FlowPersistently negative operating cash flow shows core activities fail to generate sufficient cash, forcing reliance on external financing or asset sales. Over a multi-month horizon this constrains liquidity, limits organic growth, and increases vulnerability to funding stress or higher borrowing costs.
Negative Free Cash Flow And Financing DependenceNegative free cash flow combined with dependence on financing cash flow exposes the company to refinancing and interest-rate risk. For an NBFC, sustained external funding needs raise cost of capital, can limit lending margins, and reduce strategic optionality over the coming months.
Substantial EBIT Losses And Low Net MarginMaterial EBIT losses and compressed net margins point to structural operating issues—costs, provisioning or pricing—that impair profitability. Without operational fixes, margins will remain weak, hampering capital formation, credit enhancement and the ability to scale profitably over a 2–6 month horizon.
