Rising Leverage (debt/equity 0.66)Higher leverage materially increases fixed financing costs and reduces strategic flexibility. For a project-driven contractor, elevated debt raises refinancing and covenant risk during slow tender cycles, limiting ability to bid on larger projects or invest in capacity maintenance.
Negative Operating And Free Cash FlowsSustained negative operating and free cash flows erode liquidity and force reliance on external financing or asset sales. For a company with project-based revenue, persistent cash burn undermines ability to fund guarantees, margins and growth investments, threatening long-term competitiveness.
Material Margin DeteriorationA sharp drop in gross margin is a structural concern: it suggests higher input or installation costs, pricing pressure, or mix shifts toward lower-value projects. Reduced gross margins squeeze EBIT and free cash generation, impairing reinvestment capacity and shareholder returns over multiple quarters.
