Action:Reiterated
Date:08/21/26
The score is anchored by mixed fundamentals: strong balance-sheet flexibility and improved cash generation are outweighed by persistent losses and a notably weak latest period (revenue decline and negative gross profit). The latest earnings call was a meaningful positive due to strong ACV/revenue momentum, improving margins and constructive FY'27 outlook, while technicals add modest support and valuation remains constrained by negative earnings and no dividend.
Positive Factors
Customer Retention and Expansion
Very high retention and low churn indicate strong customer stickiness, while rapid growth in multi-solution teams shows expanding adoption within the installed base. Together, these traits can support recurring revenue durability, cross-selling and more efficient growth over the next several quarters.
Negative Factors
Persistent Losses and Weak Latest Period
Persistent net losses and negative EBIT indicate that reported growth has not yet translated into durable bottom-line profitability. The latest revenue reversal and negative gross profit further raise execution concerns, potentially limiting internal investment capacity and weakening earnings reliability.

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
