Lime Files for IPO — $1B in Liabilities Threaten Company's Future

Colleagues, a tech update: Lime filed an S‑1 with the SEC for an IPO.

Key points:
- Revenue is growing and free cash flow is positive; losses narrowed after 2023 but have since ticked up.
- Uber partnership contributes ≈14% of revenue; market is concentrated (UK ≈22%).
- Principal risk: about $1B in obligations (≈$846M due this year); S‑1 warns liquidity may be insufficient without new capital or debt restructuring.

Why this matters: growth won’t rescue the company if it cannot cover near‑term liabilities.

Can Lime secure the capital it needs or renegotiate its debt?
