New Forecasts: breaking through

With FY22 in line and no changes to our existing FY23 forecasts, our focus is on the introduction of new forecasts for FY24 and FY25. We model Clareti recurring revenue growth of 17% and 18% resp. With Clareti having broken through to positive cash EBITDA for the first time in its history in FY22, we expect operating leverage to drive significant margin expansion over the next three years and beyond (Gresham guides to 40% of ARR dropping through to cash EBITDA). We model cash EBITDA margins of 1

NTU update and change of reporting date

We learn today that Tribal has received notification that NTU has terminated its contract and reserved its rights to claim damages. Tribal meanwhile rejects this right to terminate and is considering its next steps. Furthermore - to accommodate this update, the company now expects to report results on 24th March. We therefore consider it is most appropriate to temporarily withdraw forecasts until we regain clarity over this situation and the most likely financial impact.

Tribal has provided a useful NTU update, suggesting that the two parties are working towards winding the contract down, albeit negotiations are still ongoing. While this is clearly not an optimal outcome, it nevertheless reduces uncertainty surrounding the stock and so should enable investors to focus on the core business, which continues to perform strongly – delivering +10% u/l ARR growth (despite the NTU loss).
