Cash generation turns positive only when heavy reinvestment eases, while debt reduction improves solvency without relieving tight short-term liquidity.
Operating cash flow exceeded net income in both FY2024 and FY2025, but free cash flow remained negative in FY2024 because capital expenditures absorbed the accounting-to-cash surplus. In FY2025, lower capital expenditures let free cash flow turn positive at$30.3M despite continued reinvestment, showing that reported cash generation is highly sensitive to the investment cycle.

Debt-to-equity fell from 1.0x in FY2023 to 0.7x in FY2025 as equity expanded and long-term debt declined, improving the capital structure. Yet the current ratio was only 0.3x in FY2025, meaning long-term deleveraging has not translated into abundant short-term balance-sheet flexibility.
