The company is still deeply unprofitable with a large debt load and negative equity. The 15% revenue growth and improving loss trajectory are positive, but the lack of a clear path to positive adjusted EBITDA and the going concern risk in forward-looking statements suggest continued dilution risk. Monitor for any retail partnership announcements or additional capital raises.
