Leverage remains modest with debt-to-equity at 0.18x and debt-to-assets at 0.14x.

Operating cash flow and free cash flow are both negative, with FCF yield at -16.1% and operating cash flow ratio at -7.0x.

Interest coverage is extremely weak at -36.9x, indicating the business is not currently generating earnings to cover financing costs.

Book-value support is present, with price-to-book at 5.17x and tangible book value per share at 5.68.

Negative earnings and cash flow limit the usefulness of traditional earnings-based valuation metrics.
