Financial results

Monetary columns are in B KZT, one decimal; scale (K/M/B/T) keeps values readable. For the period (default) shows P&L and cash flow for that row’s reporting window: quarterly amounts when the feed uses quarter-duration facts (typical US 10-Q revenue and income), quarterly cash flows after stripping YTD where only cumulative tags exist, and an implied Q4 on 31 Dec FY rows (P&L: FY minus Q1–Q3; operating / investing cash flow: FY 12m minus 9M YTD to 30 Sep when sourced from SEC builder evidence) so they match 10-Q scale. Some issuers still use cumulative YTD minus the prior row in the same calendar year. As reported shows values stored on each row (e.g. full-year on FY). Balance sheet is always as reported. Source JSON may use millions etc.; conversion uses amounts_unit per row.

Fundamental value creation

Value the company creates per year, as a % of market cap

Value created per year: +37.1%

How this was calculated
1. EBITDA growth (latest quarter YoY, annualised)
[EBITDA latest qtr − EBITDA year-ago qtr] × annualisation X (2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31)
= (83 288 − 31 929) × 1.00
51 364
2. Current EV/EBITDA (LTM)
(Market cap + Net debt) ÷ EBITDA (LTM)
= (1 380 553 + 163 273) ÷ 83 296
18.5x
3. Target multiple
(Current EV/EBITDA + 6) ÷ 2
= (18.5 + 6) ÷ 2
12.3x
4. Cash flow (balance method, LTM)
Net-debt reduction + dividends + buybacks − equity issuance
= -117 943 + 0 + 0 − 0
-117 943
5. Value created per year
(EBITDA growth × Target multiple + Cash flow − Dilution) ÷ Market cap
= (51 364 × 12.3 + -117 943) ÷ 1 380 553
+37.1%

Amounts in millions of the reporting currency. EBITDA growth is the latest quarter vs the same quarter a year ago, annualised.

Caveats:

  • half-year basis (semi-annual reporter)
  • capex unavailable — FCF approximated by FY OCF
  • dividends/buybacks not in data - balance cash flow uses net-debt change only

Revenue growth & acceleration

Growth decelerating ▼
Last-year revenue growth -20% vs +5% the year before — a -25.7 pp move. 3-year CAGR —.
revenue growth by year: 2024 +5% · 2025 -20%
The growth-acceleration signal behind the GARP+acceleration strategy — it favours companies whose revenue growth is speeding up and flags those slowing down (the second derivative of growth).
