Shrinking sales and margin compression coexist with near-break-even operating cash flow, while reinvestment still keeps free cash flow negative

Cash conversion improved without earnings recovery: operating cash flow moved from -$117.6M in FY2024 to $8.1M in FY2025 even as net loss widened to -$88.3M. The improvement coincided with inventory falling by $74.5M, but capital expenditures of $17.4M still left free cash flow at -$9.3M, pointing to working-capital support rather than profitable operations as the main cash mechanism.

Cost structure is adjusting more slowly than demand: revenue contracted 12.8% from FY2024 while selling, general, and administrative expense fell only 5.4%. Gross margin also declined from 33.1% to 29.9%, pushing operating margin from -1.0% to -4.7%.

The balance sheet remains structurally constrained: FY2025 ended with negative equity of -$54.2M, meaning liabilities exceeded recorded assets and conventional debt-to-equity interpretation is not meaningful. The current ratio reached 1.0x from 0.9x, indicating improved short-term coverage, but not a restoration of net worth.
