Action:Reiterated
Date:05/21/26
The score reflects solid balance-sheet and cash-flow resilience and a positive earnings-call outlook for continued ACV growth and margin expansion. These are tempered by weak reported profitability and the latest-period deterioration in revenue/gross profit, alongside mixed technicals and limited valuation support due to a negative P/E and no dividend yield data.
Positive Factors
Recurring revenue and retention
High ACV growth combined with a 96.1% retention rate indicates a durable recurring-revenue model and strong customer stickiness. This predictability supports multi-year revenue visibility, aids cross-sell (multi-solution teams +62%), and strengthens the pathway to sustained SaaS cash flow and Rule of 40 targets.
Negative Factors
Persistent unprofitability
Despite margin progress, the company reports negative net income and EBIT across periods, reflecting structural profitability shortfalls. Persistent losses limit retained-capital accumulation, constrain ROE recovery, and may require ongoing reliance on cash reserves or external financing to sustain growth investments long-term.

Catapult Group International Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 19, 2026
(Q4-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Nov 18, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call emphasized strong, disciplined growth across core SaaS metrics (28% ACV growth, 19% revenue growth), improving unit economics (53% contribution margin, ~18% EBITDA margin), record Rule of 40 results, high retention (96.1%), and successful product and acquisition-driven platform expansion. Short-term headwinds and noise include acquisition-related cash outflows and one-off accounting items, a temporary free cash flow timing impact and variable costs slightly above target. Acquisitions (Perch and Impect) are strategic and expand cross-sell upside but are early in contribution. On balance, the call presented more substantial and sustainable positives than negatives, with management confident about FY '27 execution despite conservative numeric guidance.Positive Updates
Strong ACV Growth
Annualized Contract Value (ACV) grew 28% year-over-year on a constant currency basis to $133.8M (reported), and 18% organic constant-currency growth when normalizing for acquired ACV.
Negative Updates
Free Cash Flow Timing Impact
Free cash flow excluding transaction costs fell to $6.5M from $8.6M prior year, impacted by timing of second-half collections related to acquisitions; trade receivables increased to $20M (a $10M YoY increase), described as a timing issue expected to largely collect in FY '27.

Company Guidance
Management guided to "strong" ACV growth with low churn and margin expansion in FY'27, aiming for continued improvement toward targets: a 45% variable-cost target (implying a 55% contribution margin), fixed-cost growth of roughly 5–7%, and sustained ACV retention above 95% (FY'26 was 96.1%, churn 3.9%). They said ACV growth should remain strong off a FY'26 ACV of $133.8m (+28% reported, +18% organic), revenue of $141m (+19%), and ACV per Pro team >$30k (10% YoY); FY'26 management EBITDA was ~$24.7m (17.6–18% margin) with a 41% incremental profit margin (48% ex-acquisitions), free cash flow ex transaction costs of $6.5m, cash >$53m and no debt. Management reiterated the goal to reach Rule of 40 (FY'26: 36% excl. acquired ACV, 46% incl.) and the long‑term $1bn ACV ambition, saying they expect to push for Rule of 40 as soon as possible.Catapult Group International Financial Statement Overview
