- **Price / sales: 1.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.7×.
- **Price / book: 1.6×**. The shares trade at 1.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.

- **Net margin: -11.5%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -9.3%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
