Cash runway and the debt wall
Cash & investments$28.3M
Debt$127M
Net debt$98.3M
Due within a year$103M
Purple Innovation's operations bring cash in ($4.8M over twelve months), and it spends more than that on capital projects: a gap of $2.4M funded from its $28.3M of cash and investments and from borrowing ($127M of debt, $103M due within a year). That is a choice to invest, not a cash runway running down.
