Weak Financial PositionNegative equity, sustained large losses and consistent negative free cash flow materially constrain financial flexibility. This structural weakness increases fundraising risk, makes project co‑investment and debt more expensive or conditional, and raises the prospect of dilution or delayed growth absent durable, contracted revenue streams.
Financing Contingent On Offtake ContractsProject debt and syndication depend on pre‑contracted volumes, yet many brands prefer LOIs or index pricing. This structural contracting requirement means financing, and thus project execution, can stall if firm multi‑year offtakes aren’t secured, limiting ability to scale and realize anticipated license/royalty revenue streams.
Multiyear Execution And Timeline RiskA 2028 in‑service date and multiple conditional steps (technical due diligence, feasibility, debt close) create prolonged execution risk. Multiyear timelines expose project economics to PET price, FX and supply changes, extend corporate cash burn, and delay realization of licensing and royalty income that underpin long‑term sustainability.
