Negative Profitability MarginsPersistent negative margins indicate the business is not yet profitable at operational level. Over several months this undermines internal funding capacity, increases reliance on external capital, and raises execution risk for development projects unless unit economics improve materially.
Rising LeverageIncreasing debt levels heighten financial risk and interest obligations, reducing flexibility to fund capex or weather commodity cycles. Structurally, higher leverage can constrain strategic choices, make refinancing harder in stressed markets and pressure liquidity over the medium term.
Negative Operating And Free Cash FlowOngoing negative operating and free cash flow signals the company cannot generate surplus cash from core operations. This creates persistent funding needs for working capital and development, increasing dependence on external financing and elevating execution and dilution risk.
