Frequently asked questions
What is Lesaka Technologies Inc's revenue?
Lesaka Technologies Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $701.70M. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is LSAK?
In its most recent fiscal year, LSAK ran a gross margin of 26.25%, an operating margin of -4.11%, and a net margin of -13.26%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does LSAK generate?
LSAK produced $-26.32M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is LSAK's balance sheet healthy?
LSAK holds $76.52M in cash and equivalents against $188.81M in long-term debt, on $254.54M of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
