2024 Summary and Beyond

2024 demonstrates strong commercial momentum and M&A execution in the backdrop of a SaaS transition year

  • - Explosive Total Contract Value growth acquired (4.5x 2023 levels and 3x 2022), illustrating acceleration of demand for PowerCARD V4 and penetration into largest banks in the world

  • - New SaaS customers acquired in 2024 expected to generate more than 180 MMAD in revenues by 2027 and 230 MMAD by 2030 with limited additional costs

  • - Successful acquisition of CR2, a competitor, which will drive material revenue and technological synergies

  • - Limited decline in EBITDA despite SaaS transition and material investment year given size of new clients won

Going Forward

  • - 2025 still a SaaS transition year, but we expect revenue growth of at least 20-30% and EBITDA growth of at least 30-35%.

  • - By 2026/2027 impact of SaaS transition should ameliorate significantly with significant EBITDA contribution just from ramp-up of 2024 SaaS contracts

  • - Reaffirming 2027 AccelR8 targets
