very little success in US
Seems like they are moving in the right direction though, lot of the numbers are reasonable improvements (would need to be too)…will make them more attractive to a takeover now.
It’s funny how these funds always buy in or start buying in just before the bell in a lot of cases…a sceptical person could feel that they are tipped off before the results hit the wire…
For the record I am not suggesting that is the case here, just can’t help noticing the timing …
Yes, guidance wasn't "to the firm". Bit of a useless metric, and the CEO's double down in muddying the waters between FCF & FCFF; "Importantly, as forecast, our Free Cash Flow continues toimprove, reaching FCF positive $1.3m for the financial year and we expect to be FCF positive for FY25."
Really bad misrepresentation, any other company using free cash flow in management statements but excluding interest would just be silly. Seems like the team got a little desperate.
A simple look at the cashflow statements would seem to show they burnt ~$10m.
Ampfield Management really liking Eroad, they are constantly buying, now up to 8.24% of the company shares from 7.69%
Prior disclosures started at 17th May when they went over 5% and then continued buying and made their second disclosure on the 23rd May.

New York based investment firm, must really love Eroad if they are spreading their wings out this far to the NZX to buy shares.
I'm going to say "You're welcome" in advance for the big uptick. I decided to sell half my position at these recent highs to fund some woodworking machinery so expect some kind of material announcement now that I have done this...

Fleet management and transport technology software company EROAD (NZX: ERD, ASX: ERD) today provides a market update announcing the signing of its largest Australasian customer.
EROAD is unable to announce the name of the customer as per the terms of the agreement, however EROAD has secured a contract for a minimum of 5,000 units for the customer's Australian fleet, with an additional renewal for 6,000 units for their New Zealand fleet. EROAD anticipates further growth in the account over time. The term of the contract is for three years with an option for the customer to extend by a further two years.ENDS
The new contract in Australia is probably worth around $2.7m per year, so they will need several more of those to meet their FY25 growth guidance but its a good sign so far.
Those disclosure notices this morning look positive to? Linked to 24 incentive plan?
Killing it with the helpful slides :t_up: Looks like most of the cost cutting is coming from headcount so will be interesting to see where that leads.
