The operating margin, however, is positive at 8.6% — the core business makes money; the loss comes from financing costs, taxes or one-off items.

Could struggle to service its debt — the interest coverage ratio (how many times earnings can cover interest payments) is -4.4x, and the company has more cash than debt (net cash).
