Rhea-AI Summary

Cantaloupe, Inc. (CTLP) reported strong financial results for Q4 and FY 2024. Q4 revenue reached $72.7 million, up 13.2% year-over-year, driven by a 15.4% growth in subscription and transaction fees.

The company achieved a U.S. GAAP net income of $11.4 million for FY 2024, with Adjusted EBITDA of $34.0 million, marking a 90.9% year-over-year increase.

Financial Analyst

Cantaloupe's Q4 and FY2024 results show strong financial performance. Revenue grew 13.2% YoY to $72.7 million in Q4, driven by a 15.4% increase in subscription and transaction fees. For FY2024, revenue increased 10.2% to $268.6 million. The company's focus on recurring revenue and cost optimization has paid off, with Adjusted EBITDA surging 90.9% YoY to $34.0 million for FY2024. This demonstrates improved operational efficiency and profitability. The shift towards cashless payments and demand for self-service solutions are tailwinds for Cantaloupe's growth. However, investors should note the slight decline in Q4 Adjusted EBITDA due to one-time items. The FY2025 outlook is positive, projecting continued revenue growth and improved profitability. Overall, these results indicate a strengthening financial position and growth trajectory for Cantaloupe.

Tech Expert

Cantaloupe's technological strategy is yielding results. The company's focus on cashless payments and self-service solutions aligns with market trends. Active Customers increased 10.1% YoY to 31,466, while Active Devices grew 4.7% to 1.22 million. This expansion in customer base and device footprint suggests growing market acceptance of Cantaloupe's tech solutions. The acquisition of SB Software enhances Cantaloupe's international expansion efforts, particularly in Europe. This move could diversify revenue streams and accelerate growth. The increase in average revenue per unit by 11.5% to $193.64 indicates successful upselling and cross-selling of higher-value solutions. However, the slower growth in transaction volume (4.2% YoY) compared to dollar volume (15.9% YoY) suggests a shift towards higher-value transactions rather than just volume growth.

Market Research Analyst

Cantaloupe's performance reflects broader market trends in self-service commerce. The 14.8% increase in total transaction dollar volume to $3.0 billion for FY2024 indicates strong consumer adoption of cashless and self-service payment options. This aligns with the global shift towards digital payments accelerated by the pandemic. The company's expansion in Europe through the SB Software acquisition is timely, as the European self-service market is growing rapidly. However, the 14.6% decrease in equipment sales for FY2024 suggests market saturation or delayed upgrades, which could be a potential concern. The projected 15-20% growth in subscription and transaction revenue for FY2025 indicates confidence in continued market expansion. Investors should monitor how Cantaloupe navigates potential market headwinds such as economic uncertainties and competition in the self-service sector.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release contains discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, two non-GAAP financial measures which are not required or defined under U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations between non-GAAP financial measures and the most comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth below. However, we do not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because we are unable to predict certain items contained in the U.S. measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include acquisition and integration related costs, severance expenses, litigation charges or settlements, and certain other unusual adjustments.

We use Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measure provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allows for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision making. The presentation of these financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including our net income or net cash provided in operating activities. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not a substitute for or a measure of our profitability or net earnings. Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they are useful to investors as measures of comparative operating performance. Additionally, we utilize Adjusted EBITDA as a metric in our executive officer and management incentive compensation plans.

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as revenue less cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation of internally-developed software and amortization of intangible assets related to technologies obtained through acquisitions. We believe this non-GAAP measure is useful to view the resulting figures excluding the aforementioned non-cash charges because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and such amounts vary substantially from company to company depending on their financing and capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income before (i) interest income on cash and leases, (ii) interest expense on debt and sales tax reserves, (iii) income tax provision, (iv) depreciation, (v) amortization, (vi) stock-based compensation expense, (vii) fees and charges, net of reimbursement from insurance proceeds, that were incurred in connection with the 2019 Investigation and financial statement restatement activities as well as proxy solicitation costs that are not indicative of our core operations, (viii) one-time project expense, one-time severance expenses, and infrequent integration and acquisition expense, and (ix) certain other significant infrequent or unusual losses and gains that are not indicative of our core operations including asset impairment charges, and gain on extinguishment of debt.
