New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 19% This is considered a major risk.

The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (19% operating cash flow to total debt).
