Dividend commitments and repeated balance-sheet support seem to be carrying this business more than consistently cash-generative, self-funded operations.

One year briefly looked self-funding: net income and operating cash flow were both around $25M, so profit and liquidity were aligned instead of telling conflicting stories. The following year, financing replaced operations as operating cash flow fell to -$82.7M while financing inflows nearly matched it at $81.7M, showing how quickly reported profitability stopped translating into cash independence.

The company kept paying cash distributions while internal cash generation was weak, so the payout appears to reflect capital-structure choices more than cash being freshly earned in the same period. Dividends reached $19.2M after $15.1M the prior year, even though operating cash flow was negative in both periods.

Leverage rose from 1.5x to 2.0x, showing that losses were being absorbed with more balance-sheet strain rather than with a growing earnings cushion. The share count also expanded from 7.6M to 14.0M, which suggests part of that support arrived through dilution instead of through retained earnings or a durable cash build.
