Negative Equity & High LeverageNegative shareholders' equity combined with very large debt creates persistent solvency and refinancing risk. Accumulated losses shrink capital buffers, constrain access to new financing, and limit strategic flexibility, raising the probability of covenant stress or forced deleveraging over the medium term.
Shrinking Revenue And Negative Gross MarginDeclining top-line and a negative gross margin indicate the core apparel business is losing pricing power or facing structural cost/efficiency issues. When the business cannot cover direct costs at scale, margins and profitability remain impaired, threatening sustainable recovery absent fundamental operational change.
Deteriorating, Volatile Cash FlowWeak and erratic cash generation—recently slipping to slightly negative OCF and breakeven FCF—reduces ability to service debt, fund capex, or invest in operations. Persistent volatility increases refinancing risk and makes multi-quarter planning and creditor confidence materially more difficult.
