Sharp Revenue ContractionA ~44% TTM revenue decline materially weakens operating leverage and reduces margin headroom, making profits and cash flow more sensitive to further demand slips. Structural migration from legacy EVDO to new platforms can depress near-term revenue and delays normalized top-line growth for several quarters.
Elevated LeverageHigh leverage constrains financial flexibility, raises refinancing and interest cost risks, and limits the company’s ability to absorb operational setbacks. With net leverage expected to tick up mid‑year before improvement, balance‑sheet pressure could force slower investment or defer strategic actions over the next 2–6 months.
Weak Cash Generation And Reimbursement DependencyNegative quarterly FCF and guidance that relies on FCC reimbursement timing create a structural cash‑flow risk. If reimbursements or activation ramps are delayed, the company may face sustained cash shortfalls, slower deleveraging, or constrained capex—reducing visible cash flexibility over the medium term.
