Profitability Deterioration To LossesEarnings swung from multi-year profitability to consecutive losses in 2024–2025, reflecting material margin and/or credit pressure. Sustained losses erode retained capital, limit organic capital generation, and constrain strategic options such as lending growth or expense investment over the medium term.
Operating And Free Cash Flow Collapsed In 2025A collapse to zero operating and free cash flow removes internal funding for operations, capital needs, and loss absorption. Absent cash generation, the bank will need external financing or asset adjustments, raising execution risk and limiting flexibility across the next several months.
Elevated Leverage Reduces ResilienceLeverage above roughly 2x equity increases sensitivity to earnings shocks and interest-rate moves. With recent losses and weak cash flows, higher leverage amplifies solvency and funding risks, constraining the bank's ability to expand lending or withstand further economic stress in the medium term.
