Negative ProfitabilityDespite revenue growth, the company still reports net losses and negative operating profit. Persistent unprofitability erodes equity, limits reinvestment capacity, and risks recurring impairment or restructuring needs, undermining sustainable returns to shareholders over months.

Structural exposure to commodity cycles can cause earnings volatility, making sustained margin improvement dependent on favorable industry pricing or cost control that may not persist.
