Reduced LeverageMaterial deleveraging reduces financial risk and interest burden, improving liquidity and capital flexibility. A stronger balance sheet supports sustained operations through cycles, enables strategic reinvestment or opportunistic M&A, and lowers bankruptcy and refinancing risk over the medium term.
Improved Cash GenerationConsistent positive operating and free cash flow in recent years increases self-funding capacity for capex, store investments, or shareholder returns. Reliable cash generation enhances resilience to shocks and reduces dependency on external financing, supporting sustainable execution of strategy.
Return To ProfitabilityRe-establishing positive earnings signals recovery of core unit economics and management execution. Coupled with solid gross profit, this provides a foundation for margin normalization if cost control holds, enabling reinvestment and gradual restoration of long-term earnings power.
