Recommended Mitigation Actions

URGENT: Pre-draw Revolver by W8
Draw $2.5M cushion before Bear scenario breach window (W10-12). Cost: ~$18K in additional interest vs. covenant waiver risk.
Accelerate Rexford AR Collection
Negotiate 2% early-pay discount to pull $1.0M forward from net-60 to net-30. NPV-positive vs. breach scenario.
Defer Q1 Capex ($1.8M)
Delay CNC mill upgrade from W5 to Q2. Minimal production impact; releases $1.8M cumulative cash by W13.
Extend Payables to Net-60
Negotiate with top 5 suppliers for 15-day extension. One-time $1.2M cash benefit in W4 with minimal relationship risk.
