Conservative Balance Sheet / Very Low LeverageVery low leverage reduces refinancing and downturn risk, giving CAO durable financial flexibility. Equity growth and rising ROE expand loss-absorbing capacity and support investment or distributions. Conservative leverage (~0.9% in 2025) helps maintain access to credit during stress.
Improved Cash Generation / Positive Free Cash FlowConsistent, positive free cash flow (FCF ~216.5M in 2025) demonstrates ability to convert profits into cash, underpinning operational funding, working-capital needs and shareholder returns. Close tracking of FCF to net income in 2024–25 supports earnings quality and financial resilience.
