Forward Guidance
There is no formal forward guidance in the supplied materials. Given the quarterβs negative profitability and strained liquidity, investors should monitor (1) liquidity trajectory and runway (operating cash flow, cash burn rate, and reliance on financing), (2) working capital dynamics and any fleet utilization improvements that could enable revenue stabilization, and (3) near-term refinancing or equity/debt issuance plans. In absence of explicit management targets, a scenario-based view suggests that a durable improvement would require revenue realization or cost-to-serve reductions and an orderly capital-structure optimization (refinancing or capital raises) to restore financial flexibility.
