Persistent Operating Cash BurnSustained negative operating cash flow and worsening free cash flow create ongoing funding needs. Even with low debt, continual cash burn forces dependence on equity or external financing, erodes liquidity cushions, and constrains the company’s ability to invest in growth or weather further demand volatility.

These structural losses erode equity and investor optionality over time, making it difficult to finance growth internally and increasing pressure to materially improve margins or restructure costs.
