Vista Group International Limited (NZX & ASX: VGL)

No quantified revenue or earnings target was supplied. Management has reiterated only that the group will be free cash flow positive in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Historical shape from FY23 is strongly second-half weighted: HY23 delivered just 18.8% of full-year EBITDA and 48.7% of full-year revenue, with NPAT loss concentrated in the first half. Annualising HY24 revenue of NZ$69.6m gives NZ$139.2m, slightly below FY23's NZ$143.0m; if the second-half skew repeats, reported H2 revenue and EBITDA should exceed H1. The release supports the direction of travel toward the Q4 FCF target, but HY24 cash outflows of this scale leave limited room for slippage.

• What drove the gap between EBITDA of NZ$7.2m and OCF of NZ$3.0m, given receivables fell? Payables, deferred revenue, or provisions movement is not visible in the supplied materials.
• Is the NZ$9.2m capex run-rate elevated (transformation-related) or a new baseline? Prior-period capex was not supplied for comparison.
• How close is the group to its stated Q4 2024 free-cash-flow-positive point in monthly terms, given HY24 burn and the NZ$20.0m cash balance?
• Like-for-like segment growth (particularly what happened to the former Movio and AGC revenue streams inside the new Cinema/Film structure) is not reconcilable from the supplied excerpts.
• Recurring/SaaS revenue mix movement in HY24 is referenced qualitatively but not quantified in the extraction.
