Revenue DeclineA dramatic decline in revenue reduces scale and weakens fixed-cost absorption, constraining reinvestment and margin recovery. Sustained top-line contraction over 2-6 months risks market-share erosion and limits ability to restore operational profitability without strategic action.
Weak Cash GenerationNegative free cash flow and poor conversion of net income into operating cash constrain internal funding for capex, working capital, and dividends. Even with a solid cash position, persistent cash-flow weakness raises sustainability risk and reliance on retained earnings.
Low Operating MarginAn essentially flat EBIT margin means core operations barely cover operating costs, leaving profits vulnerable to small cost increases or volume declines. The gap between low EBIT and higher EBITDA/net margins signals that non-operating items may mask operational fragility.
