Negative Operating & Free Cash FlowReported negative OCF (¥322m) and FCF (¥-353m) signal cash-generation shortfalls despite revenue growth. Persistent negative cash flows can force reliance on external financing, constrain capex or M&A, and weaken the firm's ability to self-fund strategic initiatives.
Thin Net MarginsLow net margin (3.53%) leaves limited buffer against cost inflation, pricing pressure or project overruns. With moderate gross margins, operational leverage is constrained and margin expansion is required to improve resilience and internal funding capacity.
Weak Cash ConversionA negative OCF-to-net-income ratio indicates earnings are not translating into cash, often due to working-capital swings or billing timing. This undermines sustainability of reported profits, increases liquidity risk, and may necessitate ongoing financing support.
