Revenue DeclineRecent negative revenue growth suggests demand softness or order timing issues in end markets. If sustained, declining top-line undermines operating leverage, limits reinvestment capacity, and pressures long‑term growth prospects in the competitive semiconductor equipment market.
Cash-flow VolatilityPast volatility and intermittent negative free cash flow raise risks for consistent funding of R&D, maintenance services, and capex. Variable cash generation can complicate planning, increase reliance on debt or equity issuance, and weaken resilience in downturns.
Elevated Total DebtAlthough leverage has improved, the company still carries a relatively high absolute debt load. Elevated debt increases interest and refinancing risk, limiting strategic flexibility and heightening vulnerability to margin pressure or cyclical industry slowdowns.
