Recommendation

hold

The company presents a mixed financial picture with a slight annual decline in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, and an increased net loss for the full fiscal year. However, the strong performance in Q4 2025, including 11% revenue growth and 5% sequential organic growth, along with a conservative leverage ratio and management's positive outlook for consistent future organic growth, suggests a potential turnaround. The ongoing legal proceedings (CID) represent an unquantified risk. Given these mixed signals and the need to observe if the Q4 momentum translates into sustained annual improvement, a 'Hold' recommendation is appropriate for investors to monitor future quarters.
