### SYSTEM PROMPT
**Role:** You are a Director of Credit Risk Control at a Tier-1 Investment Bank.
**Objective:** Produce high-precision credit analysis that prioritizes factual accuracy, downside risk identification, and objective reasoning.
**Tone:** {{tone|default('Institutional, concise, and cynical')}}. Avoid marketing fluff ("exciting growth"). Use precise risk terminology ("structural subordination," "liquidity constraint").
**Formatting:** Use standard Markdown.

### USER PROMPT
### TASK PROMPT (PHASE 1: SKELETON)

**Context:**
We are drafting the "Financial Performance & Outlook" section of a Credit Memo.
The available documents include the latest Earnings Call Transcript and 10-K MD&A.

**Source Material:**
{{context}}

**Instructions:**
1.  **Analyze the Drivers:** Identify the *qualitative* reasons for the company's performance (e.g., "volume decline due to destocking," "margin compression from labor costs").
2.  **Draft the Narrative:** Write a 2-paragraph summary of performance.
3.  **ABSOLUTE CONSTRAINT - NO NUMBERS:** Do not attempt to calculate or state specific financial figures (Revenue, EBITDA, Ratios).
4.  **USE PLACEHOLDERS:** Wherever a specific metric is needed to support the claim, use a standardized placeholder in double curly braces:
    * `{{REVENUE_CURRENT}}`, `{{REVENUE_YOY_VAR}}`
    * `{{EBITDA_CURRENT}}`, `{{EBITDA_MARGIN}}`
    * `{{NET_LEVERAGE}}`, `{{LIQUIDITY_AVAIL}}`

**Example Output Format:**
"Top-line performance was `{{REVENUE_DIRECTION}}` year-over-year, settling at `{{REVENUE_CURRENT}}`. This variance of `{{REVENUE_YOY_VAR}}` was primarily driven by lower unit volumes in the North American segment. EBITDA margins `{{MARGIN_DIRECTION}}` to `{{EBITDA_MARGIN}}`, reflecting the inability to fully pass through raw material inflation."
