Inconsistent Free Cash FlowRepeated negative free cash flow across most years, including a slightly negative FCF in 2025, indicates weak cash conversion and ongoing reinvestment demands. This limits capacity to deleverage, fund dividends or growth internally, and leaves reliance on external financing for capital needs.

Moderate but growing leverage may constrain capital allocation, raise borrowing costs, and limit the company’s ability to absorb shocks or invest opportunistically over the medium term.

Earnings swings complicate long-term planning, stress lender and investor confidence, and make it harder to predict sustainable margins or commit to recurring payouts and investments.
