Elevated LeverageA materially higher debt burden reduces financial flexibility, raises interest expense and refinancing risk, and constrains capital allocation. Delivering the ≤2.5x NIBD/EBITDA target by 2027 requires consistent cash generation and potential asset actions, exposing execution risk if revenues soften.
Earnings VolatilityLarge swings in profitability and prior multi-year losses indicate earnings are sensitive to one-offs, PPA amortization and regional shocks. Persistent volatility undermines predictability of free cash flow, complicates deleveraging and dividend planning over the medium term.
Weak Organic Growth & Regional HeadwindsLimited organic growth and pronounced weakness in Asia and other markets signal structural demand and execution challenges. Reliance on acquisitions for reported growth increases integration risk and may limit sustainable volume recovery in key regions over the next several quarters.
