New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 7.2% This is considered a major risk.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (7.2% operating cash flow to total debt).
