Management’s priorities are reinvestment in product, selective M&A and disciplined profitability.

The 2024 acquisition of Book4Time for net cash consideration of about 145.8 million dollars brought strategic spa and wellness SaaS and added subscription revenue but came with 104 million dollars of goodwill; integration appears on track and contributed to subscription growth in fiscal 2026. Share‑based compensation is meaningful at 21.8 million dollars in fiscal 2026 and warrants monitoring due to potential dilution; buybacks have been limited to shares withheld for taxes.

Given high returns on incremental R&D and the asset‑light model, prioritizing organic investment is appropriate. We would welcome tighter SBC guardrails as scale builds.
