Weak Cash GenerationPersistent negative operating and free cash flow is a durable structural weakness. It limits the firm's ability to self-fund capex, spare parts inventory and working capital, raises dependence on balance-sheet buffers, and increases execution risk if revenue falls or customers delay payments.

This undermines earnings predictability and suggests core operations may struggle to consistently generate sustainable profits over months ahead.
