Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining. I hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to a fantastic presentation today. I'm joined here by our esteemed CFO, Matt Boyle, and we're gonna walk you through our full year results. We do have a longer presentation than we've had in the past, and so we won't have time, obviously, to cover every slide. You're gonna find I'm gonna kinda do an abbreviated presentation today, and the full presentation is available, will be available on our website. Just for the sake of hitting the key points, I am gonna move around a bit for the sake of speed. I'm gonna start off actually on page eight because I think you all know who we are, what we do, what markets we serve.
You all have heard that plenty of times and are very familiar with the business overall. You know, I wanna point out that, you know, we have a history of sort of evolution. That's really what the whole company is about and, as we'll talk about more later, we're in that same position today. We're kind of built for that. We're geared for change all the way back from the very beginning when Leonard Sim had the idea to start a virtual queuing product because he got tired of waiting in line at Universal Studios in Florida. From the fact that we started out with the accesso Passport as a SaaS product when people thought we were crazy, that no one would rely on the Internet for their ticketing. We pioneered online ticketing.
We were the first to market with mobile ticketing for theme parks and attractions. You know, we're always evolving, always inventing. While we're doing that, with the products that we have, we've also been expanding our verticals and our capabilities with a whole range of acquisitions in, what is now built, you know, I would call it a global powerhouse across the attractions industry in terms of technology. We're very familiar with change, and as we all know, the market is quite disrupted right now, [SaaS-mageddon, if you will]. We'll talk more about that as we go through in terms of where we think our position is, in that space. I'm gonna, you know, obviously, Matt will talk about the numbers. You can see the headlines here on slide 10.
You know, top line revenue $ 155 million, Cash EBITDA $23 million. We have lots of cash, great balance sheet at the end of the year and some great progress on our EPS. Matt will get into all this in more detail. Overall, you know, a solid year. Obviously, we'd like to have more growth. You know, in a year that was a bit challenging for a variety of factors, we held our own quite well. I am pleased at the end with the result, given all the overall circumstances. One of the things you've seen in our, I guess, our market updates is just the environment and how we responded to that. You know, we're a pretty nimble company.
If you were around during COVID, you saw that in full play. We, you know, we adjust in not only in our technology, but also in how we operate our business. We had some uneven demand across the across the geographies. There were some travel disruptions, people not wanting to travel to certain regions for socio or political reasons. We had some summer softness with operators. You know, I think the operators are always struggling to respond. Is it just happening for a week or is it a trend? Should we change our pricing? Should we change our promotions?
We were dealing with the overall backdrop in terms of our trading, I guess you could say our share price with the sort of indiscriminate, as someone called it, indiscriminate software sell-off, despite the fact that we feel our position related to AI is actually very strong. What we've done is, you know, our commercial team has done very well. You can see our wins. We've had great focus on cost discipline. We've lowered our head count from just over 600 down to 605 or so, where we stand today, and focusing a lot on productivity and efficiency, some of that powered by AI, some of that powered by just rethinking how we're structured. Our margin, our transactional revenue was flat. It's important to note here, we didn't go backwards.
I think, you know, in hindsight, some of the conversations or updates we had about transactional revenue softness could have implied that we were going backwards. Really what I meant was that we weren't seeing the growth that we had hoped for. I just wanted to point that out because I think some translated the fact that, oh, the market was soft and transactional revenue went backwards for accesso, but that's not the case actually. It held flat, even in a difficult market backdrop. Importantly, as we announced today, we laid out and have facilitated a structured transition plan between myself and Lee, having hired him at the beginning of last year. He is now ready to take the helm on May first.
You know, a lot of information here on this slide, on slide 12. A fantastic new Chief Commercial Officer in place. We've really refreshed our go-to-market approach. We've thought about our look and feel. You may notice today our presentation looks a little different than it has in the past. We've gone to a sort of crisper look, a more modern look. We have a fully brand new website, which actually is quite a project with all the products and markets that we serve. As a result, our pipeline looks really good. It's continuing to strengthen as the year has progressed. The quality of our wins has improved.
You know, we're seeing more customers from our legacy product moving into SaaS solutions or new customers coming in looking for SaaS product and also continuing to expand our relationships with existing clients. Overall, our win rate has dramatically improved. The new business that we signed compared to 2024 was roughly double in terms of annual value. We're really happy with the traction we're seeing on the commercial side and with the new focus that our team has. 13 and 14 really are a bit of a just an update on how things are going with both accesso Freedom and accesso Paradox, two acquisitions that we've made in recent years. You know, just highlighting the fact that, you know, we've thought about these acquisitions and these different products very carefully.
Sometimes it takes a little patience, but our strategy is intact, and it's really paying off. We're seeing great momentum with accesso Freedom. We now have 63 venues that are contracted and continuing to grow. That's more than double than we had in the prior year. It's proving to be a really important part as prospects consider their overall operation and the benefit accesso can bring to them by having that integrated platform between ticketing, food, retail, and all kinds of things. Same thing with ski, accesso Paradox, which is really an acquisition we made to give us a path forward for our clients that are on accesso Siriusware, which is an installed application. Customers looking to move to SaaS needed an alternative, particularly in the ski market, and accesso Paradox is doing exactly that.
We're seeing great move from the clients in that Siriusware product, moving over to our transactional model or SaaS model. Overall, just in terms of ski, remember we have 160+ resorts as clients. That's double the nearest competitor in this sector. We are very strong in ski and continue to grow. I believe it's a very important vertical for us to continue to stay focused on and to continue to innovate with. I want to take a moment on this one because if you're on slide 15 about virtual queuing and you know I think this is really important because context does matter. As the headline says, you know, one decision is not a verdict on the product.
We sort of had a lot of focus around this, a lot of chatter around what's going on with accesso and queuing. You know, I think it's important to point out that, you know, we have 25 years of fine-tuning a really robust application that works at scale and handles a wide range of scenarios. You know, as I called out in the slide, it's not something you can vibe code over the weekend. You know, it's not just about the base idea of, okay, who's next in the queue? What's happening?
It's all the multitude of scenarios that go on in an environment when you have 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 people in a park, and 15, 20 attractions, all the different variables that are going on, helping guests with accessibility needs, the whole range. Importantly, we do still have IP. I know that our core patent expired, you know, some years ago, but we've continued to file patents for specific functionality that is very critical to how the application works when you're running at scale. Again, someone can make a very simple, you know, deli queue type product. Our application and queuing is much more robust and much more significant than that. We had a successful defense of one of those patents in 2025 that we're very happy about.
You know, I just want folks to think about this product as something that's, you know, obviously the foundation of the business, but it's not a legacy product. It's not a tired product. It is a fantastic product that not only proves itself functionally, but also from a revenue perspective. As we noted mid-year last year, one of the major customers indicated they were not going to continue using the product. Near the end of the year, they changed their mind on that. They've extended through this year and actually have a pilot going at two additional locations and very pleased with those initial results from those pilots.
I just wanted to sort of put a pin in this because I think it's super important that we realize that LoQueue is a great product and it will still be a centerpiece for us from a product strategy. Couple of pages here, sort of 16 and 17. I won't go through those in detail. I think it goes without saying that every organization is looking at AI enablement in terms of how they work. We are certainly doing that across every single area, including myself. Much of this presentation has been designed by AI, as a matter of fact. You know, we are looking at everything from engineering, product design, sales and marketing, operations. So many tasks that can be expedited with the use of AI tooling, all in different scenarios.
We are seeing some great efficiencies coming from that. Improved work product, improved time to market with everything across the board, whether it's an application, whether it's meeting notes, whether it's marketing content. We have embraced AI across the organization, and it's also, you know, allowing us to find some efficiencies, but also to be a better business, to operate more efficiently and more effectively and be faster at bringing things to market. You know, we're gonna talk more about AI in a minute as a product and how that is a strategy. I think it kinda goes without saying that we're embracing AI in the organization. We're a technology company, for goodness sake. You know, it's at the core of what we do.
I have multiple AI applications on my own desktop, and I can only imagine how many our developers and our operations teams are using in their work every day. It's important just to call that out. I don't think it's something that, you know, you need to hear about every presentation because it sort of, as I said, goes without saying that this would be a fundamental part of how we, how we operate. With that in mind, I wanna save as much time as possible for the strategic inflections that is coming up later in the presentation. I'm gonna turn it over now to Matt to cover the financial highlights for you all.
Thank you, Steve. Key financial highlights on this page to call out. You see at the top there is cash EBITDA was $23 million, so +0.8% up on the prior year. A margin of 14.8%, again, consistent with the close to 15% that we had in the prior year. Cash EBITDA, for those that aren't familiar with it, is our principal operating metric. It is an Adjusted EBITDA number less capitalized development spend. Our revenue was $155.1 million. That was +1.8% up on the prior year on a reported basis. On a like-for-like basis, it was up just under 4%.
There are a few like-for-like adjustments to strip out there being the disposal of a Brazilian subsidiary that we made in January 2025, and a couple of, well, a B2C business that we disposed of in 2024, and a one-time hardware sale that we also had in 2024. Stripping those out, we were just shy of 4% growth on a like-for-like basis. You'll see gross margin there up slightly on the prior year, up to 78.5%, up from 78.1% in the prior year. That really is just due to the margin mix or the revenue mix. The hardware is typically a lower margin, and we didn't have it in 2025, so up slightly.
You'll see there a noticeable increase in statutory profit before tax, which is very strong, as well as the notable increase in adjusted earnings per share. Again, a very strong, Steve mentioned it, strong balance sheet, so $30.5 million of cash at the year-end. That is after significant share repurchase activity that we've had over the 15 months, past 15 months that I'll cover in a later slide. On the right-hand side, you'll see a mix of our revenue on a by type basis. 84.6% is repeatable.
Just as a reminder, the majority of our revenue, so about just shy of three-quarters, is coming from transactional arrangements, whether that's on a revenue share basis or a cents per transaction basis. That's the major component of repeatable revenue. Then we also have some support and maintenance agreements as well over term periods. Next slide, please, Steve. Thank you. This slide again, so for those of you that have followed us for a while now, this is our breakdown of that revenue by type into the more granular buckets that we have. At the top there you'll see repeat the breakdown of repeatable revenue. Within transactional revenue itself, you've got virtual queuing. We highlighted there had quite a choppy peak seasonal period in that summer.
We were down 6% compared to the prior year, but relatively flat, ticketing and e-commerce. Flatter tendencies equates to flat ticketing revenue, but resilient despite that. Then offsetting that, you've got growth in distribution of 4.5%. We mentioned this at the half year where there are flatter attendances, operators will tend to lean on those distribution channels for promotions and discounting to fill the gaps that they have. You see that reflected in the numbers there. The 4.5% increase. There are other components contributing to the recurring bucket are recurring license fees of up 30.8% and maintenance and support agreements are both up 16.8%.
They're being driven really by the new Horizon venues that we've had going live throughout the, well, the back end of 2024 and throughout 2025, and predominantly in the Middle East, which operates a license and support model and less so of a transactional model. Then beneath that you'll see the contributors to our non-repeatable bucket. Again, I think this is really highlighting the resilience of our business model, so where there is flatness or lower growth in transactional, you do have this service-based non-repeatable business that we can turn to. You'll see increases there in implementation change request and billable services and the professional services line that we've broken out on a more granular level this year to make it easier to follow.
The increases in implementation and change requests really are custom to customers wanting advanced change requests or advanced roadmap items to align with their own projects, or desires that they may have. We have a very willing and able professional services team that perform ad hoc customer requests and typically it fluctuates year-over-year. It really is another string to our bow. The final item to call out there is the hardware line. Again, touched on it earlier. You'll see a drop of about $1 million, and that's really because of the one-time accesso Prism sale that we had in 2024 that we wouldn't expect to repeat in 2025 or going forward. Next slide, please, Steve. This is the income statement.
A couple of call-outs on this slide. Really we've covered revenue and cost of goods sold. It's the admin expenses so flat there, which really goes to show the robust cost control that we've had throughout the period. Reported admin expenses up 0.2%, and the underlying admin expenses up to $ 99.5 million, which is up 2.5%. The underlying expenses, we have majority payroll being a SaaS-based business, mostly payroll and headcount-related costs. And you'll see on Steve's earlier slide that we ended 2024 on 682 heads.
We ended 2025 on 655 heads, and we're now down at roughly around 605 heads, really having a robust cost discipline, and making sure that we're right-sizing the cost base to reflect the revenues that we have. The final piece to call out here is the net finance expense, I will call it. That is a net number of $ 0.1 million expense for the current year, which is significantly lower than the prior year. That's reflective really of the fact that we had lower drawings throughout the year. We were drawing roughly about $10 million average on the facility throughout the period compared to double that in 2024, as well as having some positive FX revaluations.
We have a USD facility sat in a GBP entity, so we benefit from the positive gains in that facility and that's reflected in the finance income line. The next slide is our Cash EBITDA. This is bridging from the previous slide where you saw operating profit to how we get to our Cash EBITDA numbers and the adjustments that we're making. You see the pretty limited exceptional expenditure during the year, really that's only related to our acquisition or to the disposal, sorry, of the Brazilian subsidiary. You'll see the amortization line dropping down quite dramatically during the year. That's really assets becoming fully amortized. The 20% drop in the number there year-over-year, assets becoming fully amortized and the cost dropping off.
You'll see the share-based payments there dropped around 14.9%. We run equity programs for all of our staff but the vesting assumptions changed slightly during the year, which is reflected in the cost decrease that we have there. The last one to call out on this slide is the capitalized development spend. Again, we're very prudent on this number. You'll see a slight increase from $2.6 million to $3.1 million, but that's still only representing about 2% of revenue year-over-year. That's all really to call out on that slide. This slide is showing cash flow. I think the thing to call out here really is the strong, stable, sticky nature of our cash flows.
You can see year- over- year, very, very consistent, strong cash flow, free cash flow generation. You can see the top there, $1.8 million up on cash flow before working capital movements. And just to touch on those working capital movements, you'll see a large swing there from almost -$11 million in the prior year to +$6 million in the current year. That really reflects the seasonality, particularly of our distribution business, depending. It has a seasonal peak in December and depending on whether it's collected at the cutoff of December or whether it hasn't, it makes a significant difference on a December basis throughout a three to five year average. You'll see it normalizes quite dramatically. That's driving that movement.
Back to the previous slide, Steve. Yeah, sorry. Then the other things to call out on the cash flow are, you'll see there the $4 million acquisition, just over $4 million acquisition of intangible assets. So that's the IP that we purchased in the mid-year. Then you've got $ 15.9 million on share buybacks, and a further $ 4.1 million on shares for our employee benefit trust. So we ended the year on $ 30.5 million, which is gross cash of $ 41.4 million and borrowings of $ 10.9 million. So again, very strong, healthy balance sheet that we've got. Just touching on the outlook before we move on.
We have made movements, I think as it's fair to say, since the year end. We've had the tender offer of $20 million, as well as the acquisition. We expect to end the half year, so H1, in a relatively very modest net debt position, which is consistent with our normal seasonal cash profile. We collect cash significantly through H2, and we'd end the year, end 2026, back in a very strong net cash position. Then final slide from me, really touching on capital allocation that we mentioned at our interim but bringing to the fore again here. We've operated quite a number of schemes over the past 12 months really at this point.
First buyback started in April 2025. We purchased 1.7 million shares for just shy of $11 million. A further program extended that for another 1.2 million shares for $5.3 million back in October through January 2026. Then on the 18th of March, we completed a tender offer that you will all have seen for $20 million, returning or purchasing and canceling 4.8 million shares. Just shy of a total of 20% of the shares in issue being canceled over that period, and a total of $36 million returned to shareholders.
We still hold a very strong balance sheet post all of the movement post year-end, which gives us leverage to continue to providing shareholders, shareholder returns through meaningful capital allocation in the period going forward. That is everything from me. Back over to you, Steve.
Sorry, Matt, I'll practice your slide turning better the next time. All right. On to some very exciting things, and there's a lot to unpack here. We've tried to make sure we have plenty of time for this. Then obviously leave a lot of time for questions at the end as well for those of you that have questions. You know, we spend a lot of time thinking about AI, obviously, not only internally, but also what it means from a product perspective. Importantly, you know, what are our customers looking for. I wanna start with just kind of highlighting what the overall AI space looks like. As I said before, there's been a sort of indiscriminate sell-off of software companies.
It feels like everyone sort of said, "Run from software, and we'll figure it out later," in terms of which ones are viable, which ones are at risk. You know, we obviously have an opinion about where we sit in that, you know, based upon the facts of this AI and the different categories of businesses that are at risk. Obviously, on the left-hand side, you see companies mainly that have per seat pricing, and that's the big underlying issue. Think about all the applications we use in our daily lives, our email, things like, you know, our word editing tools, all those applications that we use every day are seat licenses. Companies that are running on seat licenses are looking at this obviously at a declining workforce, lower seats.
Not only that as a one-time effect, but a continued drip of lower seat licenses being needed. Those sort of are the big core types of products that are in the highest risk category. In the middle, you know, you've got some companies that are systems of record. They have a lot of integrations, but, you know, the data is sticky, but AI really is just become an interface layer and sort of translation layer. Then on the right-hand side, you see categories four and five, and I think we sort of sit in the range of those depending upon the product that we're talking about. You know, vertical systems of record, deep domain expertise, which is certainly accesso, proprietary data, proprietary logic, obviously, there's a lot of that in our business.
Transactional pricing, not seat license pricing. You know, AI, the businesses in these categories, really AI enhances them versus replaces them. We clearly believe that AI enhances everything we do. As one headline we have, it says, "It makes us more valuable, not more vulnerable." I believe that is absolutely true. You know, you can sort of digest this and think about, okay, where does accesso sit? I do believe we've been caught in a wave of the, you know, sort of everyone running from software. You know, folks start peeling back and really categorizing the companies in the space, they're gonna realize that, well, accesso was in a really strong position, and not only in a strong position today, but also where we're going is going to further secure that position.
I just kind of thought this slide was really helpful in terms of putting some context around that, because we get a lot of questions about, oh, what's gonna happen to accesso with AI, and I think it's gonna make us a lot better. You know, as I said before, we have embedded customer data. Our systems are mission-critical. They're not a nice to have system. You know, there's not an easy alternative to maybe word processing like you may have today or email systems. We have 20+, probably almost 30 years of accumulated tech logic, and you know, that's hard to come by in our space, and not just across ticketing, but across a range of solutions that our operators are using. We have a whole ecosystem. We're not just one, sort of a one-trick pony.
You can come to us whether you need one solution, two solutions, or nine solutions, and we can help you out with that in an integrated and coordinated manner. That's something that absolutely no one else has. Importantly, just our structure of our transaction-based revenue. We've certainly, you know, had the jabs about that over the years about all being transaction-based, but I think it puts us in a really great position, and we are thankful we are in that situation versus having sold our products on a seat license basis, for example. We are well-positioned, and not under threat of, from a revenue perspective, that a lot of the other companies are gonna be facing in a pretty strong way. As I said, we have a strong position in what is an otherwise noisy market.
You know, from accesso's perspective, there's nobody else that has everything we have to offer to operators of these venues. What we've stepped back and looked at is clearly we're going to innovate within our products. Passport will get AI. Paradox will get AI. Horizon will get AI. Freedom will get AI. All of our products will get AI, where it benefits the product, where it benefits the user. But importantly, that overall view is really where AI is gonna be at its strongest. The ability to take different components, different silos of data, and make sense out of that and turn it into insights is invaluable. It's not just about our systems, it's about all the systems the operators use. That is the opportunity.
I'll talk more about that in a minute, but we sort of have four things we've been working on in the past year, and they are accelerants of our growth going forward and at the core of our innovation history. Number one is we've expanded our view on payments. This is something that's been well considered because when you embark upon a journey on payments, it's rather permanent. You're installing hardware with the venue, the terminals you check out with, you're doing lots of internal plumbing, and importantly, you're relying on this partner for service, which is an important part of our customer's business.
When you're going to connect yourself to a partner, you need to make sure you're connecting to the right partner, because you don't wanna sort of get, you know, have issues with your payment process that then sort of backwashes on your overall relationship. We spent quite a bit of time, the majority of last year and even part of the year before, evaluating all the different providers that are out there, and we're very happy to say we've secured a partnership with Adyen, and I'll talk more about what that looks like in a moment. Composable commerce, we've mentioned that before. You know, at the core, as I reflect on accesso overall, you know, e-commerce is at the core. It is our absolute powerhouse, and not just for ticketing across everything we do.
Leveraging that expertise for transaction optimization is absolutely foundational to this business, and we have to always evolve. Right now we are well underway with what we call composable commerce, and it's our next evolution of e-commerce and how customers will buy when they go to their computer, when they go to their phone. Alongside that is conversational commerce, which is, you know, there will obviously be people going to their computer or go to their phones for a very long time, but there's a big wave coming, and that is conversational commerce. That is going to ChatGPT, that is going to Meta AI and saying, "Hey, I would like tickets to Legoland this weekend. What are the options? I'm looking for a Six Flags annual pass.
Can you give me my choices?" And have all that in a chat, never typing a thing on your keyboard or on your phone. We have really made great progress on this. In fact, we're ready for our first customer pilot here, coming up in the coming weeks actually, allowing guests to browse, order, and pay everything via conversation. That is an example of, again, another level of innovation, just like mobile ticketing, just like being a SaaS company, this level of innovation and getting in there early when, you know, you can be an early adopter, you can learn from those smaller sample sizes and perfect your process, so when it becomes larger, you're the leader. Last but not least is our AI evolution from a product perspective.
As we shared today, we have acquired Dexibit. We identified that as a target. Rightfully so, Lee brought this to our attention early on after joining accesso. You know, after getting to know them and realizing what they've built, it was clearly an opportunity for us to leapfrog, to use the term, to accelerate our capabilities. We certainly looked at alternatives and hands down determined that acquiring Dexibit and bringing that into our ecosystem was gonna be a game changer for us. I'll unpack these a bit more as we go through. You know, payments are at our core. Start with payments. We move billions of dollars a year. Passport alone moves something like $4 billion of revenue. That's just Passport. Think about all of our other products in total.
We are moving a tremendous amount of money. What that does is it allows us to get scaled pricing. Our individual operators, maybe they sell $20 million a year across their whole resort or $200 million, they can't access the pricing that we can access when we look at the billions of dollars that we process. What we're doing now is we've moved from being a payment gateway, which is what we've had forever, which is where we hand off the transaction to the processor. We're now going into actually being a processor with a partnership with Adyen.
What that does is it allows us to bring much better pricing to operators that can't negotiate anywhere near that level of rate, and it allows us to integrate our system in a more comprehensive way to become less disjointed, if you will, because we can then end-to-end offer the package that is plug and play more so than, "Please go here for your payments, go here for this, go here for that." We can bring you the whole package. Within that, on the payment gateway, yes, you get, you know, a fee for every transaction that goes through. But on the processor side, you get a portion of the margin as well.
In addition to giving the clients a much better rate, access to much better rates, we also are rewarded with that for bringing those clients into into the Adyen platform. It expands a new revenue line for us in a way that is scalable, not just across ski or theme parks or live entertainment, but across our whole business. That is a very scalable opportunity that, you know, over the sort of mid- to long-term is going to be a very valuable line item for accesso in terms of margin. If you think about other operators that are out there in different areas like Shopify or Toast point of sale here in the U.S., they actually make most of their money on the processing side, and they don't make a whole lot from software if you look at their financials.
This is an area that we have not really explored until now, and we've made a big move with the partnership with Adyen, which was by far our top choice. Their global footprint is phenomenal, and they're going to give us that end-to-end relationship that we're looking for for our customers. Our clients will get a better rate, it's less complicated, and by the way, it doesn't take much capital for us to do this. We're off and running. We'll start bringing customers on here mid-2026. Obviously, it will take time to scale, but we'll be moving on this you know very promptly to make it a core part of our offering. I talked about composable and conversational. There's more details on this page.
You know, if you think about e-commerce and maybe true to my heart, if you think about accesso Passport, you know, e-commerce is, was the lifeblood, is the lifeblood of that product. We've taken that learning across our whole product set in increments. Products all have their own e-commerce, I guess you could say module, right? What we've done with composable commerce is we're separating that from Passport, and we're making a commerce layer, an e-commerce layer that can work across any of our products. It's adaptable and scalable across our product set.
Taking that transactional revenue and that incredible optimization we bring to our clients for optimizing their revenue and opening that up to work for Paradox, to work for Horizon, to work across our whole product set is a very big move, and it's an effort we've been working on for about two years. We completed our first pilot over last summer, and now this year we'll start the rollout to accesso Paradox. It will be the first of our products to adapt composable commerce, and then clearly we'll work across the portfolio to bring that to life. But if you look at the revenue profile this brings in, if you look at Horizon, for example, Horizon doesn't have a transactional-based e-commerce product.
Why would we rebuild something only for Horizon when we should build something that works across all of our products? That's what we're doing. You might imagine Horizon will be next. Clearly Passport will get a major upgrade with composable. It's not just separate. It's also a different architecture. If you think about e-commerce as a flow, A, B, C, D, then you check out, that's kind of what we have today. Composable is what it says. It's composable. Think about being able to drag and drop and design your own screens. Think about being able to go in as a user and change your colors, change the shape of the squares, and rounding the corners and changing the fonts and changing the pictures and the images. That's what's composable.
We end up with a much more adaptable platform, and it's one of the things that our clients often ask for is the ability to customize the flow in the site to work for their branding. It has all the optimization within that, so they can't mess it up essentially. We've determined which modules work the best, and we make those modules available to them to drag and drop on their screen. This is a fundamental part of transactional revenue growth for accesso going forward. A subset to that, I guess you could say, is conversational commerce, and that is, like I said, you just talk to it, right? And it helps you out with your order, helps you out with your choices. You know, this is where everything is going.
You know, going to a venue's own website will certainly happen for many years to come, but there's going to be a convergence of shopping within things like ChatGPT, where everything we do will be, we'll go to Claude, we'll go to ChatGPT for everything, and it will shift from being a Google search. Google's already doing that today. It'll shift from going to a venue's prime website to just using ChatGPT for everything we use or whatever your platform of choice is at the time.
Conversational commerce allows us to plug in to those chat-based channels, very smart, and have a dialogue with our product set, have a dialogue with our customer's information and give the user back exactly what they're looking for in a way that we are managing the messaging, we're giving them those options, and we're still controlling the transaction. Again, something operators can't bring to the table themselves, and we're making sure we are, our plumbing is there. We're making sure that this is available. Like I said, it'll be rolling out in a few weeks as a trial at a very significant theme park. We're looking forward to that. Stay tuned. Shifting now to the fourth box, which is how we think about AI. My favorite headline here is "Data everywhere. Insight nowhere."
I'm gonna say it in my sleep. That's really what we were looking at, and on the left-hand side, you can see an operator and all the things she's thinking about, right? Oh my gosh, I have all this information. Everything is in a different folder, right? It's all in a different data silo. Guest surveys, social media, ticket sales, weather, accidents, incidents, you should say, their loyalty program, their point-of-sale data from their restaurants, from their retail stores. What do you do with all this data when it's not connected? That is the problem. The opportunity is to help them leverage that. If you want to know how to optimize your labor, you have your labor scheduling system, and you have your food sales. Two different buckets.
How do you leverage those two together to help the operators create optimized labor schedules, for example? How do you leverage weather, pre-bookings, social media feedback, marketing calendar, all those to drive dynamic pricing? Connecting all that is something that a human brain simply cannot do, but AI now opens as a new opportunity. We are absolutely the best prepared in the market to bring this to our customers and to the end markets that we serve. We can see everything across the guest journey. We're embedded in their core systems. We have the foundation for AI insights. We obviously have a huge customer base. We know how to execute at scale. Importantly, we know the business really well. That's something that's lacking.
When you go to ChatGPT or to Claude or to whatever your choice of AI tooling is, it doesn't understand the attractions sector. It doesn't know what a per cap means. It doesn't know what seasonality means in terms of that context. That's what we bring to the table, right? That's what the tooling we need to do, because that's different than just loading all the data into a random AI tool and hoping it can give you the proper answer. It needs context. With Dexibit, we acquired that context, we acquired that intelligence. You know, what we're looking at is embedding the intelligence at the core.
Like I said earlier, not just putting AI into our products, of course, we're gonna do that, but thinking about it more broadly in terms of what will really make a difference to the industry, which is what matters, and that's what will drive our business. On Saturday, Matt may be a little tired still. On Saturday, we completed the acquisition of Dexibit, and we're bringing that into accesso and into the market as accesso Intelligence, which happens to stand for AI, by the way. And it's an AI analytics, demand forecasting, capacity planning. It's a big data management platform. And what's interesting is it gives you a single view across everything, not just the accesso systems. Clearly, we're important to that equation, but it gives you systems from other vendors.
Maybe you're using a different food system, maybe you're using a different a scheduling system. You need weather data, you need event data, you need local event data, you need school calendar access, you need all of that. What it does is it unifies all that into one layer of intelligence. What Dexibit has done over several years now is accumulated the context, if you will. The models are trained, the AI models are trained on specific contexts, like what does seasonality mean? What does an event do? What event in town has an impact on my attendance this coming weekend? When it rains, what happens to my attendance? When the sun is out, what happens to my attendance? All of that off-the-shelf AI absolutely does not bring to the table.
For us, this is clearly a leapfrog move. I did enjoy the frog icon, I have to admit. You know, we certainly evaluated whether this is a build versus buy, and we determined that buying this was going to catapult us ahead of the industry and give us something that would take us years to build on our own. There are already 75 venues using Dexibit. They include things like the S mithsonian, so a very good, strong blue-chip customer base. They have 1,000 pre-built visualizations or dashboards, if you will, and they're already integrated to 100 systems. That alone would have taken years for us to do just the integrations. What it does, it brings all these things together on the left, right?
Food sales, wait times, whatever it may be, the venue has in their different data folders or data silos. First of all, it gives you reporting. Reporting is really important, and we struggle ourselves to bring all of our different applications if someone's using more than one of them into a single view. We get that immediately. Just add water, and you're gonna have dashboards across all the accesso applications that you're using. That will give you, you know, give us a significant advantage in the marketplace and a big advantage for our clients to have a single view across their business.
There's also an important part which is called Voice of the Visitor, which is looking out across the internet at all the things customers are saying about your venue and bringing that all into a consolidated perspective and also providing you insights around things you can do to improve any concerns that visitors might be expressing. What we do in phase two is we move into predictive operations, so things like demand forecasting. What should I expect for attendance this Saturday? What should I expect for attendance across next year? Dynamic pricing, things like staffing, as I mentioned before, as well as capacity planning. That's sort of phase two. In fact, I think Dexibit's already pretty far into this. What we'll be doing is looking at bringing that into our product set as capability.
Imagine accesso Intelligence taking all these different variables and creating dynamic pricing and then feeding it back into Passport, feeding it back into Siriusware, and feeding it back into Paradox so it becomes a loop of not just putting data out about what happened, but helping you predict the future and operationalize that into something that maximizes revenue. Then phase three, you know, that is sort of, okay, Star Trek here, but this is not far away, by the way, which is allowing things to automatically happen, right? Self-healing operations. When you see something happening, have the system respond to take care of it versus opening a trouble ticket, for example. That is the next level. I think where we're gonna see accesso out of the chute is gonna be phase one.
We're gonna be largely there, probably in a matter of weeks, honestly. Phase two will then be a process that will happen over starting this year over the next couple of years and getting better and better every single day. Just the intelligent reporting alone is a significant advantage to the industry, and the elements of the predictive operations that will come to market very soon, and the ones that are already there are something that no one else is offering.
What you end up with a little bit of a complicated graphic that shows, I think in one view, accesso in the middle, our applications, whichever ones you're using, wrapped around a payments platform, and then the internal systems, other systems you're using, your CRM system, your financial reporting system, Google Analytics that's looking at your website traffic, your hotel management system, which we don't offer today, your visitor survey data, and then external data like weather, school calendars, social sentiment, industry data, economic data, all of that can be combined to give you, through accesso Intelligence, applying sector context, all the data, all the dashboards that are there, being able to interact with a conversational engagement to do this. Give you all the things you see across the bottom, forecasting, revenue optimization, dynamic pricing, ops planning.
I think an important part here I wanna highlight, 'cause I didn't cover it before, is that third green box, conversational. Having grown up in the theme park industry, one of my early days was deep in spreadsheets, and a lot of manual data work. What would happen is everybody comes to you asking you, "Can you run this query for you? Can you build this spreadsheet for me? Can you give me this report?" The operators don't have the ability or the access to that kinds of data or the skills to mine the data. What Dexibit accesso Intelligence brings to the table is conversational insight. Anyone with any skill level can ask a question, "What was my number one guest satisfier yesterday? What food items sold the most on Saturday?
Which food items didn't sell on Saturday? What should I expect next week because there's a big concert in town? Will it affect my attendance? You can ask those questions, and it can take all this information and come back to you with an intelligent answer, insight, and predictions. That's really what unlocks the power here, is not that you've gotta be a master in database queries. You can be anyone. You can be the CEO, you can be the Head of Marketing, you can be the Store Manager, and you can use this by simply asking a question and getting back the data you need.
Whether it's an answer, whether it gives you back a spreadsheet, whether it gives you back a report, that is conversational insight that absolutely does not exist today, and it's across all of these squares on the page, not just one system. This is an absolute game changer for accesso and importantly for our customers. Matt, you're gonna cover the outlook, I believe, or am I gonna cover the outlook? I'm gonna cover the outlook. The outlook is coming up. I think this slide's actually out of order. Number one, we're unrivaled in our position. Covered all that ad nauseam. We're engineered to evolve. You know, one of the things that we've gotten, on the right side you'll see, we've gotten beat up a little bit in the past about the amount of money we spend on R&D.
Well, what that has done is kept us current, kept us flexible, kept us adaptable, and we are ready for AI. If you scrimp on the R&D, you find yourself in a position when something changes, you're not able to respond because you now have to go and spend the next couple of years on significant deficit of technology. Accesso is not in that position. If I've ever been thankful for our commitment and our continued investment in our products, it's never been stronger than today. The fact that we are literally AI-ready, and I can say that our competitors, by and large, are not in that same position. This is an absolute strength for us, and the ability to layer AI onto what we have immediately is going to have a significant impact on this business going forward.
I think, Matt, you've got it now. You've got the outlook part.
Yeah. I'll cover this, Steve. Thank you. At the top there you've seen the two black boxes with the guidance we're giving is in line with the current consensus. Revenue of approximately $146 million, and approximately $20 million of Cash EBITDA. As a trading update, January and February traded in line with our expectations, particularly on transactional volume. That's pleasing given the choppy end that we'd had from June through December at the end of 2025. Being mindful though that it is still early in the year. We are a seasonal-based business, and our peaks are in late May, late June through early September, and then again in at Halloween at the end of October.
Mindful that there is still a lot of the year left to play out. Just really highlighting the Middle East piece in there that's in our numbers. We expect this year somewhere between $4.5 million-$5 million of milestone-related revenue from that Middle East region. Half of that, approximately $2.5 million we've delivered already. It's just pending customer acceptance, which is great. The remaining $2.5 million is to be delivered from April through the year end. Some level of risk there. So far it has been business as usual for us as best it can be, given the circumstances. But it could change at a moment's notice.
We did have a positive signal that Aquarabia, a large park there in the Qiddiya attraction opened on the 20th of March despite the conflict. But we are hoping, but we are mindful of it. The last piece on this slide is just to highlight really the strength in the balance sheet, which I mentioned on my earlier slides with regard to capital allocation. We have purchased 20% of the shares back over the last 12 to 15 months and completed, as Steve says, a game changer of an acquisition. And we have predictable steady state free cash flows. And we expect to continue supporting future shareholder capital returns.
Okay. Last slide. I have to leave it up there. Our new tagline, "Powering the Business of Fun." I'm gonna close with that, and then I'm gonna stop the share so we can take questions from the group. I know we moved through a lot quickly. We have a lot to unpack. It's also been a very busy week or two here, between finishing up results, finishing an acquisition, of a company based in New Zealand nonetheless. We're obviously very excited about all the things that are to come. Very excited about Lee having I guess you could say handpicked my successor and having him here since the beginning of last year.
He's fully embedded in the business and, you know, having such a planned transition smoothly with such a qualified person, who is not only intelligent and great at what he does, he's a great person as well. I'm super excited and, you know, to have a running start on the next wave of accesso with all the things that are to come, I think the Dexibit acquisition is just going to really make a huge difference in this business, on top of everything we already have that's working great. I'm super excited and, Matt and I are happy to take your questions. Let's go
We will now start the Q & A. If you wish to ask a question, please use the raise hand function at the bottom of your Zoom screen. If you have dialed in, please press star nine to raise your hand and star six to unmute. Participants can also submit questions through the webcast page using the Ask a Question button. We'll take our first question from Katie Cousins with Shore Capital. Please unmute your line and ask your question.
Thank you. Hopefully you can hear me okay.
Definitely.
Two please. On Dexibit, have you got any examples of their existing customers who are already using it, and anything tangible you can kind of point to of how it's improved trading? That's the first one.
Yeah, I mean the Smithsonian is one that is a notable customer. I think Matt, you probably can name a few others on the list you have in front of you. I think it's you know, the customers often request that they're not being quoted as a customer just for confidentiality reasons, so we can't provide the whole customer list, but there are a few notable ones that I think are important to highlight. You know, what we see is a very high retention rate for the customers. They see. You know, there was even one customer example where they said, "Oh, you know, maybe we don't need this," and then they quickly came back realizing they did need it.
You know, the power of what it brings for to them in terms of being able to operationalize the amount of savings just in report generation alone, aside from the revenue and business optimization is very significant. You know, what I can tell you that on the accesso side, we've been working with Dexibit now for, I guess, a year as a partner while this was happening on an underlying basis. We're two for two. We showed the product to two customers and both bought it. You know, in the first meeting by the way. They bought it quickly. They bought it without question. They're loving, you know. That's on its way.
You know, I think it speaks for itself and as I told someone yesterday, you know, it's almost hard to explain it until you see the demo and see how it works because it's really mind-boggling. The operators are getting a lot of value from it, and I don't have exact numbers on what the improvement to them is. I think some of the capabilities we're gonna bring into our product, like dynamic pricing for example, will have material impact on their top line revenue.
Cool. Thank you. It's good to hear the 100% success rate so far.
Two for two.
Yeah. The second question is just on, in terms of new wins, and it was encouraging to see that actually about, I think it was 11 out of 43 new wins took multiple products with you guys. Could you provide a bit more color on what products that they're taking and is there a bit of a pattern between a combination of products?
We're basically seeing any product plus Freedom. That's kind of what the equation would be. Obviously a lot of Paradox plus Freedom, some Passport plus Freedom. Freedom is gaining traction as there are more customers using it. Our referral base increases and it sort of starts to snowball. It's generally plus Freedom.
That's really helpful. Thank you.
Our next question comes from James Lockyer with Peel Hunt LLP. Please unmute your line and ask your question.
Hi, guys. Thank you for taking my questions. Firstly, just on the guidance for the year. I think within the $1 46 million, you've got some milestone payments from the Middle East within that, and obviously you had some of that in 2025. Am I right in thinking that on the current guidance, it sort of implies a decline year-over-year? And if that is the case, what's the major driver for that? And if not, how should we see some upside from current guidance from that perspective?
I'm not sure where you're getting the decline from James, but the last year we did roughly about $3.5 million-$4 million of milestone related revenue from Saudi Arabia.
I meant the group revenue. Sorry. I meant the group revenue.
Group revenue.
I think it was 155 last year.
That's from one queuing customer.
Yeah.
It's the impact of that one queuing customer.
Gotcha.
Yeah, that's that one customer. I mean, we do have the loss of a major queuing customer in the current year. Transactional revenue would be below where it was in the 2025 for 2026. That is reflected in the guidance. The Middle East alone, if you're looking at it, will be slightly up where it was for 2026 compared to 2025.
What's the implied underlying organic growth then from the core business that's in the guidance?
For transactional revenue you mean?
Yes. Thank you.
It's reflected in our commercial wins really. If you look at the commercial outperformance that we had, we had moved from 30 wins in 2024 to 43 in the current year, end of 2025, and that will be reflected in the growth rate that we have underlying, outside of the major milestones and non-repeatable revenue and ignoring the major customer queuing loss. There'll be growth in that.
Excellent. Thank you. On the AI point, I think you flagged some operational efficiencies there, productivity gains throughout that, and obviously we're early days with where that technology's coming through. Where do you see the benefits over the next few years in terms of time saved, product releases quicker? In terms of sort of if you're able to quantify that in terms of where you think margin might get to because of the AIs you're implementing.
Yeah. You know, we've had enough time now with the tooling and understanding kind of where we see the most efficiencies the quickest. Clearly, you know, any kind of operational or product area are seeing the most gains. We are not seeing the gains in engineering, which is not unusual, especially when there's so much context required. The tooling, you know, doesn't quite understand the context in order to just write, you know, an e-commerce application for a theme park, for example. It doesn't have experience with that. We're not seeing the gains in engineering, which I think is not unusual for a lot of companies. It is helping us move faster in certain areas, and certainly refactoring code is quicker.
You know, things where we need to update something, we're seeing some gains there, but not large gains. The bigger gains are coming in sort of our, like I said, our operations product and marketing areas. You know, think about even just sales proposals, the speed with which and the quality with which we can create sales proposals. Those are the areas that I think are gonna make, you know, the biggest underlying difference in terms of efficiency, both in being able to operate over time with fewer people, but also importantly, being able to move faster. Getting quotes out faster, getting product design faster, in handling customer queries, either automatically through automated processes or more quickly with AI tooling.
I think we're gonna see the biggest benefit in the areas outside of engineering, which is more than half our group. Engineering will be a little bit slower on the uptake and you know we'll see those. It will be a decent amount still, but it's not gonna be the same level we're seeing in those other areas.
Okay. Maybe just a final one. Yeah, I think historically you've talked about a 20% margin. Do you think as the medium term, longer term guidance, do you think that this could see the AI investments, the acquisitions you've made recently, the pricing, you know, the way because your consumption versus per seat, do you think the margin could be higher than 20% over the mid to longer term?
Yeah. I think where we get there is we need to increase our revenue growth rate, and one of them. There's sort of two sides to that. One is attrition. Making sure we stick our customers, right? We stick the landing with our customers for the long term, right? They're not seeing some better things across the street, so to speak. This progress with AI will differentiate us in a way that competitors can't get to for years. I think on an attrition basis, this will really help a lot. Although we don't have much, you know, as if we allow the competition to continue growing, our attrition could start to grow. On the new wins, this is something that no one else can bring to the table.
Sometimes we find ourselves, you know, competing on price maybe, or, you know, a customer's sort of past history with an application they're considering. This is something that is gonna be a differentiator for us that again, is unmatchable. I think our competitors are gonna be showing a feature within their own system. They're not looking at the overall client's ecosystem the way we can come into the room already ready to do with the integrations that are in hand. The conversational AI is really gonna be unprecedented. I think that will help the revenue growth rate. If the revenue growth rate picks up, you know, 7%, 8%, 9%, which is probably about where this company can be given our scale. At the same time, the cost base is not growing.
It's continuing to shrink even by the amounts that we did this year. You get there pretty quickly. You know, it's really about. We can't cost our way to 20%. That is certainly not the goal. I think a lot of our savings, we will reinvest in things like accelerating AI capabilities even further. At the same time, continuing to lower that cost base and propelling the growth rate is obviously the combination to higher margin.
Cool. Thank you. I'm sure we'll catch up before you go, but I wish you good luck, unless we don't.
Thank you, James.
Our next question comes from Jon Byrne with Berenberg. Please unmute your line and ask your question.
Hello. Yes, thanks. Thanks for the presentation. Two questions from me, if I can. I will take them in turn. Firstly on Dexibit, I guess from a commercial perspective in terms of monetizing, what should we expect in terms of contribution from, you know, accesso Intelligence going forward? Do you think about it, you know, as a standalone kind of product to monetize, or is it kind of primarily a good foot in the door for cross-sell opportunities and sort of supplementing existing solutions? How should we think about it?
Yeah, I think it's strategic for us, number one, around our product set and increasing our win rate, which is more powerful than just selling, you know, accesso Intelligence on its own because of the value of selling accesso Intelligence along with Passport, along with Paradox, along with Freedom. That's a much bigger opportunity than Dexibit would have had on their own, and that really is gonna amplify both the value that their product creates, but also the overall results. I expect that in the commercial model, there's still a bit of a discussion around that, and Lee will obviously be managing that going forward.
There will obviously be customers that, you know, are out there that can benefit from the technology that don't necessarily even maybe work in our space, or they don't use our one of our applications. You know, we see that as a lead opportunity. Let's bring them in. Even if they're using a competitor system, let's enable them with some elements of the product, and that brings them closer to accesso and allows us to talk to them more about our actual solutions and maybe switching over. We see it as a conversion tool. We see it as a strategy, you know, to improve our overall portfolio.
I can say we've not sort of said, oh, this line item today is gonna grow in a trackable manner for its own revenue category. It's gonna become more of an overall benefit to the business.
Great. Then, just secondly on outlook, you mentioned seasonality. Can you just remind me or give us a steer in terms of concentration in those summer months, you know, say June to August, particularly given the growth of the ski product? What should we expect for this year?
The majority of our revenue, Jon, comes from that June through September period and October, little bit in December. We think of it as pivotal really for our year. We had that last year, right, when there was softer and weaker transactional volumes through the back end of June and early July. We revised guidance accordingly at that point in time, so it reflects the importance of it to our business. That will continue going forward. I mean, ski has seen some level of growth.
It was certainly our strongest performer in terms of commercial new wins last year, but it would take some going and some way to offset the size and the impact of the attraction space that we have.
Brilliant. Thanks. That's all from me. Just to echo, good luck, Steve, in next endeavors.
Thank you, Jon.
Our final question comes from Jasmine Rand with Deutsche Bank. Please unmute your line and ask your question.
Hi, hope you can hear me. I'm just standing in for Tintin today. Yeah, Jasmine from Deutsche Numis. In the deck on the customer base, I appreciate you mentioning not all can be named. Can you talk at all about any joint customers you may have? Then again, I think you just touched on it slightly, but what do you expect kind of pricing for the solution to be looking ahead? Secondly, on capital allocation at this level, how are you thinking, looking ahead in terms of share buybacks compared to kind of further bolt-on acquisitions? Thanks.
The interesting thing with Dexibit is, Angie and her team's focus had primarily been around cultural attractions, museums, if you will. Our overlap, that's not one of our bigger markets. You know, similar operations, similar concept to a theme park, but it's just a different space. We certainly have museums in our portfolio, but it's not a primary sector for us. You know, our overlap or sort of bumping into each other had been fairly limited. Lee obviously had gotten to know them before joining accesso. We got to know them as a group much more closely over the last year-plus.
In terms of customer overlap, I think, you know, that's what we're gonna build going forward. You know, we see their customer list as additive as new commercial opportunities for us. Some of them are certainly customers we would like to move over to an accesso platform. You know, it's really about taking what they've built, where they've learned the context of a venue operator, primarily in the cultural space, and now enabling that across the broader leisure and attraction sector. That's really our goal. It's a bit. Obviously they have a great customer base, but it's really focused on what the potential is for the product within our ecosystem. In terms of capital, Matt, you hold the money.
Yeah, I'll just touch on the capital allocation piece. So thanks, Jasmine. I think the key point to highlight there really is the nature and the stable, sticky nature of our cash flows, which I hope has been reflected in the last couple of years when you looked at the cash flow slides that generates a consistent free cash flow, which we've used accordingly to provide shareholder returns over that same period. There's no reason that shouldn't continue. While spending $20 million on a tender and making an acquisition over the weekend, we still hold a strong balance sheet, which we would continue to leverage to provide shareholder returns in whichever form that may take.
We'll make the best use of our available options at the time that comes, but there's certainly no reason it shouldn't continue.
I'll add onto that, Matt. They wouldn't let me write in the annual report that our share price is frustrating. And so I'll say it now. They felt it was a little too direct, but it is very frustrating, obviously. If you look at our underlying business, this is strong. You know, it's strong. We've got a very good position related to AI. And you know, we have a really great customer set, and we've sort of been caught in a wave of either disproportionate focus on, you know, one client, one product, some of the AI pressure, maybe some market pressure as well, you know, a whole variety of factors. And you know, our view, I think along with many probably of you, is that our share price is tremendously undervalued.
Our company valuation is much lower than it should be. I'm confident that, you know, this too shall pass. We just got to keep our head down, you know, continue to build great product, provide great service, and at this share price, obviously buy back shares, you know, to the extent that that is reasonable for us, from a balance sheet perspective.
Great. Thank you very much.
That's the end of our Q&A session. I'll now hand over to Steve Brown, CEO, for closing remarks.
Thank you very much. It seems like this may be my last investor presentation, so I thank you all for sticking with us and staying so tuned into our business over time. It's clearly an exciting business and you know, I've been through many waves of change in this business since 2007, which turned into accesso in 2012 and then what it is today. You know, I had 12 employees in the very beginning. There's 605 now. We worked, I think, three countries. We work in 31 countries now. This business is built on changing and innovating and you know, not just sort of building something and letting it run, but it's always being ready for whatever is next.
I think the move we've made here is our big step into what's next. You know, not just adding features and calling it a strategy, as we say in our report, but thinking about it more comprehensively. Importantly, if we always put the operators first, the clients first, in terms of what will help their business, then we will win in the end. I think that's exactly what Dexibit and accesso Intelligence will do for the business, is put the client first, help them run their business much better than they can without it. In turn, we'll continue to be the trusted partner, and the market leader, for many, many years to come. I thank you all very much, and I'm sure Lee will do a fantastic job.
I have all the confidence in the world, and he's obviously supported by Matt, who probably could use a good rest about now. Thank you all very much, and we'll talk to you later.
Thank you.
Thank you for joining today's call. We are no longer live. Have a nice day
