The score is held back primarily by weak trend/momentum signals and a fragile financial profile driven by net losses, revenue declines, and high leverage. Offsetting these risks, FY2025 shows a meaningful operational and free-cash-flow recovery.
Positive Factors
Free cash flow recovery
FY2025 operating and free cash flow turned strongly positive (~63.4M and ~63.2M), a durable improvement from the prior year. Consistent positive FCF increases self-funding ability for capex and working capital, aids debt reduction and reduces reliance on external financing even as profits recover.
Negative Factors
Persistent net losses
Net losses persist despite operational gains, with FY2025 net margin around -1.3%. Continued bottom-line deficits erode equity, constrain retained earnings and limit long-term reinvestment or dividend capacity, leaving recovery dependent on sustained margin and revenue improvements.
