Investment Case

Multichannel payments platform and the delivery of community services through our retailer and SME networks

Clear path to delivering £100m EBITDA by end of FY26

We have delivered a robust financial performance and made further progress towards delivering £100m EBITDA by the end of FY26, across our growth building blocks in digital payments, card payments, parcels community cash access, retailer services and our Love2shop business.

Leading multichannel payments platform

We continue to diversify our multichannel payments client base and expand the range of digital solutions that we can deliver to support our clients in multiple sectors, across Open Banking, direct debit, cards, cash, Love2shop vouchers/rewards and prepaid solutions.

Streamlined organisational structure & cost base to deliver growth

Following a through review, changes were implemented in April 2024 to simplify the structure, enhance cross company collaboration and deliver efficiencies to enable future reinvestment in the business.

Unparalleled retailer & SME networks delivering vital community services

Our expanded proposition helps our SMEs and retailer partners keep pace with changing consumer needs, expectations and demographics. We continue to innovate and increase the range of vital community services provided through our in-store technology to drive retention and deliver more opportunities to earn for our partners, including parcels, local banking and government services.

Enhanced rewards for shareholders with 3-year share buyback programme

Three-year share buyback programme announced, commencing with at least £20 million over the next 12 months, with the potential to increase in years 2 and 3 depending on business performance, market conditions, cash generation and the overall capital needs of the business.

Throughout this period, we will continue to increase dividends at a nominal rate and grow our cover ratio from the current 1.5 to 2.0 times earnings range to over 2.0 times earnings by FY27.
