Investment Takeaway
The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with leverage and liquidity remaining the main constraint, with interest coverage at -5.61x. The next watchpoint is cash generation still needs confirmation.
Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -5.61x.
