Zero Net Debt And Sizable Equity BaseThe 2024 balance sheet shows zero reported debt and a large equity cushion, materially reducing financial risk and refinancing needs. This conservative capitalization improves resilience through downturns and underpins strategic flexibility over the next several quarters, though it alone won’t restore profitability.

Strong Operating And Free Cash Flow In 2024Operating and free cash flow (~91.7M) were strongly positive in 2024 and exceeded accounting losses, indicating the business can generate real cash despite reported losses. Durable cash generation supports ongoing operations, reinvestment, and reduces near-term external funding needs if the trend persists.

Top-line Recovery In Latest YearRevenue growth of +12.3% in 2024 after a prior decline suggests recovering demand and potential scale benefits. Sustained top-line improvement can enable operating leverage and margin recovery over several quarters, provided the company controls below-gross costs and converts revenue into positive operating results.

Bears Say

Widening Operating LossesEBIT margin deterioration from about -16.2% to -21.5% in 2024 signals worsening core profitability. Persistent operating losses weaken internal funding capacity, impair reinvestment, and suggest structural cost or business-model issues that must be corrected to achieve durable profitability.

Deeply Negative Net MarginA net margin near -19.8% in 2024 indicates the company is significantly loss-making. Extended negative net margins erode equity and constrain ability to self-fund growth initiatives, increasing the likelihood of future capital raises or strategic restructurings if profitability is not restored.

Negative Return On Equity Despite Strong CapitalROE of about -5.5% shows the sizable equity base is not earning returns and capital is being deployed inefficiently. Negative ROE over time signals potential value destruction for shareholders and raises questions about management’s ability to convert financial strength into profitable operations.
