Negative Cash FlowsNegative operating and free cash flows materially weaken liquidity and constrain operational flexibility. Even with strong revenue, poor cash conversion forces reliance on external funding or equity, limiting the company's ability to fund inventory, growth initiatives or absorb shocks over the coming months.
Declining Net Profit MarginNet margin compression from 6.75% to 4.20% indicates rising costs or heavier investments that reduce retained earnings. Sustained lower margins impair free cash generation and weaken the firm's ability to self-fund growth, leaving profitability sensitive to cost volatility in the medium term.
Rising LeverageAn increasing debt-to-equity ratio (0.23) signals rising leverage. While still moderate, higher debt combined with negative cash flows raises refinancing and interest-rate exposure, reducing financial flexibility to invest or navigate downturns over the next several months.
