Negative Operating And Free Cash FlowPersistent negative operating and free cash flows indicate ongoing cash burn that will require external financing or dilutive raises. Over a multi-month horizon this constrains strategic flexibility, increases financing risk, and can delay commercialization or scale-up of partnered products.
Consistent Net Losses And Margin DeclineOngoing net losses and a decline in gross margin suggest rising costs or pricing pressures that undermine long-term profitability. If margins don't stabilize, the company will struggle to self-fund R&D and commercialization, increasing dependence on external capital and partnership terms.
Shrinking Asset Base And Concerning Leverage MetricsA shrinking asset base paired with a problematic debt-to-equity metric reduces balance sheet resilience. If cash reserves decline further, the company may face higher borrowing costs or limited ability to support trials and launches, pressuring long-term operational continuity.
