Why This Question Matters

Cash depletion below $600M would force a dilutive equity raise or operational cutbacks. Maintaining cash above $600M with improving adj EBITDA would suggest the company is becoming self-sustaining.

Starting at $962M with $30-45M quarterly burn. Even at $45M/quarter for 4 quarters, cash declines to ~$782M. Would need unexpected one-time charges or massive inventory buildup to drop below $600M.

The $193M convertible notes due near-term could consume cash. If repaid in cash (not converted) plus normal burn, could reach ~$600M range. But unlikely to go below $600M unless housing deterioration accelerates losses.

Cash runway analysis suggests 2.5 years at current burn. Dropping below $600M in one year requires either significant acceleration in losses or large cash outflows. Convertible notes are the main risk factor.

Low probability. $362M gap from $962M to $600M is large. Burns are improving. Company could also raise equity if needed.

At guided $30-35M Q1 loss, improving trajectory means subsequent quarters should be smaller losses. Total 2026 cash burn likely $100-150M. Convertible repayment adds $193M. Total outflow ~$300-350M, leaving $612-662M. Tight but likely stays above $600M.

The convertible note scenario creates a realistic path to below $600M. If EBITDA losses don't improve as fast as guided AND convertible notes are repaid in cash, cash could reach $550-600M range.

Starting with $962M. Declining $30-45M/quarter. Need large additional outflow to reach $600M. Unlikely.

Low probability event. Would require combination of convertible repayment, larger-than-expected losses, and no equity raise.

Slight upside risk from convertible notes and potential inventory buildup consuming cash. But base case stays above $600M.
