Cantaloupe’s Q1 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CTLP’s revenues is pegged at $71.1 million, suggesting a 13.5% rise from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Increased transaction and subscription revenues are likely to have driven the top line.

We expect transaction revenues to have benefited from the rise in active devices and higher average ticket sizes. Subscription revenues are likely to have been fuelled by the rise in active devices, strength in micro markets and the Cantaloupe One program.

CTLP’s revenues per connection are anticipated to have gained from the impacts of products and features that the company rolled out, allowing customers to sell higher-ticket items via points of sale.

The consensus estimate for the bottom line is pegged at 4 cents per share, indicating a 100% surge from the year-ago quarter’s actual. The bottom line is expected to have been driven by revenues growth, optimization of the cost of sales and operational expenses control.
