Gratifii Limited, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the design and development of loyalty and rewards programs in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Singapore. On 30 June 2024, the AU$31m market-cap company posted a loss of AU$11m for its most recent financial year. The most pressing concern for investors is Gratifii's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.

Check out our latest analysis for Gratifii

Gratifii is bordering on breakeven, according to some Australian Software analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2025, before generating positive profits of AU$2.8m in 2026. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven just over a year from today. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2026? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 104% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

Underlying developments driving Gratifii's growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, keep in mind that generally a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

One thing we would like to bring into light with Gratifii is its debt-to-equity ratio of 127%. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in this case, the company has significantly overshot. Note that a higher debt obligation increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
