Revenue Decline & Negative ProfitabilityMaterial year-on-year revenue decline and a negative net margin show the company is losing top-line momentum while failing to convert sales into profits. Sustained revenue erosion and losses undermine reinvestment capacity and make margin recovery and organic deleveraging harder over multiple quarters.
Weak Free Cash FlowPersistently negative free cash flow constrains strategic optionality and forces reliance on external funding or asset sales. Weak cash conversion limits investment in live services and new IP, and makes execution of turnaround plans and debt extension contingent on aggressive near-term improvement.
Leverage, Restatement & Labor RiskAn accounting restatement that affects covenant metrics, combined with elevated leverage (debt/equity ~1.21) and recent restructuring that triggered union action and game cancellations, raises structural refinancing and execution risk. Covenant pressure and labor disputes can limit strategic flexibility.
