Negative ProfitabilityA shift to negative net income undermines internal capital generation and return metrics. Prolonged losses weaken the ability to retain earnings, increase dependence on external funding, and limit reinvestment capacity, raising structural risk to long-term viability if not reversed.
High LeverageElevated leverage increases interest obligations and reduces financial flexibility, making the company sensitive to funding cost rises and refinancing risk. For an NBFC, heavy debt amplifies exposure to asset-quality deterioration and constrains strategic options during stress periods.
Weak Cash GenerationNegative operating and free cash flows indicate difficulty converting earnings into liquidity, forcing reliance on external financing for growth and operations. This structural cash shortfall raises rollover risk, elevates funding costs, and limits capacity to absorb loan losses or invest in scale.
