Asset-light

Physical assets are 2.1% of total assets, a light footprint. Capex is 2.35x depreciation and free cash flow yield is negative, so the physical base is expanding and consuming cash. EBITDA after capex covers debt service by -7.30x, which is below 1.

Fixed-asset turnover is 22.07x. Compare it with other names in the same basket.
