The score is primarily constrained by weak profitability, sharply higher leverage, and deteriorating technical trends. Improved cash flow and a high dividend yield provide some support, but they do not offset the company's ongoing losses and financial risk.

Positive Factors

Cash-flow reboundThe return to positive operating and free cash flow improves near-term funding capacity and may reduce reliance on external financing. If maintained, stronger internal cash generation could support operations and investment, although its durability depends on converting improved cash flow into recurring earnings.

Negative Factors

Declining revenueRevenue contraction limits operating leverage and makes it harder to absorb fixed costs across the textile business. Continued top-line weakness could constrain investment, reduce the benefits of scale, and delay a return to sustainable profitability unless product demand or market reach improves.
