Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31

A newly disclosed covenant compliance risk on the Ares credit facility — where default could trigger acceleration and asset liquidation — combined with a $1.4B cash decline and fresh workforce restructuring signals material financial stress approaching going-concern territory. Regulatory pressure has broadened sharply across MFN pricing, EU AI Act, FDA/CDC policy shifts, and a new DOJ data-transfer rule, while manufacturing execution risks have escalated from prospective to realized. The single easing item (removal of explicit cash breakeven language) is insufficient to offset pervasive worsening across five or more distinct themes.
