Negative Gross ProfitNegative gross profit indicates the company is losing money on its core product/service delivery, reflecting broken unit economics. Without structural changes to pricing or cost base, this undermines margin sustainability and makes long-term profitability unlikely even if overheads are cut.
Revenue ContractionSustained top-line decline reduces scale benefits and limits ability to spread fixed costs, exacerbating margin pressure. Continued revenue contraction over multiple years weakens competitive position and makes recovery dependent on reaccelerating growth or successful product/market pivots.
Equity ErosionA sharp drop in equity reflects accumulated losses and materially reduces the balance-sheet buffer against future shocks. Lower equity limits the firm's capacity to absorb further losses, invest in recovery, or secure non-dilutive financing, increasing structural solvency and funding risk.
