Top-line Growth (Like-for-Like)
Revenue of GBP 155.1 million for FY2025, up 1.8% reported and just under 4% on a like-for-like basis after stripping disposals and one-off items.
Cash EBITDA, Margin and Profitability
Cash EBITDA of $23 million (stated on the call) was up 0.8% year-over-year with a cash EBITDA margin of 14.8% (broadly consistent with prior year). Statutory profit before tax and adjusted EPS were both noted as showing 'notable increases'.
Strong Gross Margin and Amortization Tailwind
Gross margin improved to 78.5% from 78.1% (≈ +0.4 percentage points) driven by revenue mix (lower one-off hardware sales). Amortization expense declined ~20% year-over-year as assets became fully amortized.

Year-end cash of GBP 30.5 million (gross cash GBP 41.4m less borrowings GBP 10.9m). Free cash flow generation described as strong and stable; working capital swung from negative ~GBP 11m to +GBP 6m year-over-year (≈ GBP 17m improvement).

Product & Vertical Momentum (Freedom, Paradox, Ski)
Freedom: 63 contracted venues (more than double prior year). Paradox / ski: now serving 160+ resorts (about double the nearest competitor), driving recurring license and support revenue expansion.
Strategic Partnerships and Acquisitions (Adyen & Dexibit)
Secured payments partnership with Adyen to move from gateway to processor (expected to improve pricing for customers and create a new scalable revenue line).
