Very High LeverageA debt-to-equity ratio of 9.30 indicates heavy reliance on external funding. In a credit-originating business, high leverage amplifies refinancing and interest-rate risk, limits strategic flexibility, and increases vulnerability to credit stress; this structural funding risk can materially pressure long-term stability.
Weak Cash GenerationDeeply negative FCF growth and very low operating cash conversion show reported earnings are not translating into reliable cash. That constrains the company's ability to reduce leverage, finance growth internally, or absorb credit losses, making ongoing operations more dependent on costly external capital.
Low Net Profit MarginA low net margin while gross margin is exceptionally high implies material funding costs, credit losses, or operating expenses erode profitability. Persistently thin net margins limit retained earnings for growth or deleveraging and reduce the firm's cushion against cyclical downturns or increased competitive pricing pressure.
