Revenue Decline And Profitability PressureA large year-over-year revenue drop materially reduces operating scale and margin headroom, constraining reinvestment into projects and elevating per-unit fixed costs. Sustained top-line weakness over months threatens EBITDA traction and long-term cash generation.

Poor cash conversion increases reliance on external financing and heightens execution risk for ongoing buildouts.

Higher permitted leverage and enhanced oversight increase covenant and refinancing risk, potentially constraining strategic investments and timing.
