Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The quarter shows a material earnings deterioration (losses, negative EBITDA) despite a large loyalty base. The financing via convertible notes may dilute equity and create uncertainty. However, loyalty growth and the THRI financing could support mid-term reinvestment and potential recovery, making the move more of a near-term headwind with a longer-term optionality.
