Amounts: USD (converted) · As reported
Converted modes use NBK / ECB-linked rates: balance sheet date for BS items, period average for P&L and cash flow (see filing row evidence). As reported keeps each row in its filing currency.

Financial results

Monetary columns are in B RUB, 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.

Profit and cash

Profit runs ahead of cash
In a typical year of 2021–2025 operating cash flow came to 0.45x of reported net profit; after capex, 0.22x.

Last twelve months (to H1 2026): -2.44x of profit came back as operating cash flow.
net debt / EBITDA 2.6x · EBIT covers interest 0.7x · capex 0.9x of depreciation
● In a typical year operating cash flow covered 45% of reported profit (5 profitable years).
● EBIT covers interest 0.7x.
Read from the reported annual statements: cash flow / profit is the median of the yearly operating cash flow over net profit for the years shown; accruals are (profit − operating cash flow) / assets, the classic gap between what was booked and what was collected. A gap can be growth in working capital, capitalised costs, revaluations or profit from associates — the panel points at it, the statements explain it. Not investment advice.

EBITDAC (EBITDA less capitalised development)

Software firms capitalise much of their development spend into intangibles, so EBITDA overstates cash earnings. EBITDAC = EBITDA − capitalised development (the metric Positive Technologies reports itself).

Quality / corporate governance

Potential discount −20% (factor 0.80)

This company's ranking potential is scaled down by a quality/governance factor from the signals below — de-prioritising 'cheap but problematic' names.

Fundamental value creation

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

Value created per year: -75.9%

How this was calculated
1. EBITDA growth (latest quarter YoY, annualised)
[EBITDA latest qtr − EBITDA year-ago qtr] × annualisation X

2. Current EV/EBITDA (LTM)

3. Target multiple

4. Cash flow (balance method, LTM)
Net-debt reduction + dividends + buybacks − equity issuance
= -13 230 + 0 + 0 − 0
-11 427
5. Value created per year
(EBITDA growth × Target multiple + Cash flow − Dilution) ÷ Market cap
= (-618 × 6.8 + -11 427) ÷ 20 560
-75.9%

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

Caveats:

  • LTM EBITDA = FY2025 + H12026 - H12025 (cumulative-YTD reporter); ΔEBITDA vs prior full year

Revenue growth & acceleration

Growth accelerating ▲
Last-year revenue growth +18% vs +10% the year before — a +8.0 pp move. 3-year CAGR +19%.
revenue growth by year: 2023 +30% · 2024 +10% · 2025 +18%
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).

Dividend potential

Dividend-model upside: -100%

The payout is forecast from smoothed profit × payout ratio, capped by free cash flow (developers exempt — escrow) and floored at the recent actual dividend (companies hold payouts while profitable). Fair yield = key rate + the historical yield-spread to the rate (so growers that historically traded below the rate score higher). Upside = fair price / current − 1.
