• Persistent losses — The company reported net losses in each year from fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2026, with the fiscal 2026 loss of $1.49 billion larger than the prior three years combined.
• Negative shareholder equity — At March 31, 2026, total liabilities of $1.43 billion exceeded total assets of $814.4 million, leaving shareholder equity of negative $616.6 million.
• Cash burn — Operating cash flow was negative $1.24 billion in fiscal 2026, far exceeding the negative $283.0 million used in fiscal 2025.
• Revenue decline — Revenue fell to $611.7 million in fiscal 2026 from $693.1 million in fiscal 2024, so losses widened while the top line contracted.
