FY2025’s operating loss narrowed to$21M from$763M in FY2024, while EBITDA reached$339M ; however, a$473M net loss alongside$403M of interest expense shows the recovery repaired operations more than the capital structure. The resulting margin gap—a near-breakeven operating margin of-0.5% versus a net margin of-12.2% —is primarily a financing and below-operating-income problem.
