Steep Revenue DeclineA near‑50% revenue drop materially reduces scale economics and threatens margin sustainability as fixed costs remain. Unless lending volumes and disbursements recover, amortization of overheads and origination capacity will be impaired, capping earnings and growth for months.
High Financial LeverageA debt/equity ratio above 4x raises refinancing, interest‑coverage and capital‑structure risk. High leverage limits strategic flexibility to expand the loan book or absorb credit shocks, increases sensitivity to rate moves, and constrains capital allocation over the medium term.
Weak Cash GenerationPersistent negative operating and free cash flows undermine ability to service debt, fund growth, or build reserves. Reliance on external funding raises cost and execution risk, making recovery and lending book expansion more difficult in the coming 2–6 months.
