8 | Unclear Operating Leverage and Improving FCF Margins
When we invested, there were signs of operating leverage, and improving OCF and FCF margins, but it has not been the case for the last 3 years, with OCF and FCF margins flatlining between 0% to -10%.
When we invested, there were signs of operating leverage, and improving OCF and FCF margins, but it has not been the case for the last 3 years, with OCF and FCF margins flatlining between 0% to -10%.
Seemingly still strong organic revenue growth (30%+ 3Y), supported by still solid customer retention ~125%+, but unclear if declining GPM and still negative cash flow margins (OCF and FCF) can reverse in the right direction in 2023.
