Even with improving cash flow, the capital structure leaves the company sensitive to interest-rate moves or weaker cash generation, constraining investment capacity and strategic optionality.
Weak, Volatile Profitability And Negative EBITDAMulti-year swings into negative EBITDA and persistently negative net margins signal operating leverage problems and cost pressure. Until gross margin improvement and operating expense control are sustained, earnings volatility will limit the company's ability to consistently convert revenue growth into durable profits and free cash flow.

Persistent weakness in Material Handling reduces earnings resilience and slows margin recovery, hindering deleveraging and cash generation efforts.
