Asset-light

Physical assets are 6.9% of total assets, a light footprint. Capex is 2.01x depreciation and free cash flow yield is negative, so the physical base is expanding and consuming cash. EBITDA after capex covers debt service by 0.30x, which is below 1.

Fixed-asset turnover is 7.09x. Compare it with other names in the same basket.
