Deep Negative MarginsMargins swung deeply negative in 2025, reflecting product costs and low effective throughput. Persistent extreme negative margins show the business is not yet covering variable and fixed costs; profitability depends on successful scale, qualification and cost reduction over many quarters.
Persistent Cash BurnOperating cash flow and free cash flow are materially negative and deteriorating, creating ongoing reliance on external financing. Sustained cash burn constrains investment timing, heightens refinancing risk and amplifies dilution or leverage needs throughout the multi‑year commercialization period.
Rising Leverage And Dilution RiskLeverage is increasing and management has issued convertibles and many performance rights, raising dilution risk. The combination of higher debt and sizeable outstanding equity instruments reduces financial flexibility and can dilute returns for shareholders as the firm funds its scale‑up.
