Revenue & profit — talking points

Prep for the Q4 Board Review. Keep it to the two charts and let the numbers carry it.

Note
Lead with the trend, not the table. If the room fixates on the 2023 dip, name the one-off FX and move on.

Slide 1 · Revenue

  • Up 22% CAGR over 5 years ($2.0B → $4.4B)
  • Organic growth — no acquisitions in the window
  • Source: FY25 revenue model

Slide 2 · Profit bridge

  • Net profit only +16% since 2021
  • The story is Cost of Sales +175% — name it out loud
  • Sensitivity ready: COGS flat → +38% profit

Before the room

  • Add absolute-$ callout to slide 1
  • One line on what drove COGS up 175%
  • Rehearse the CFO sensitivity answer

“22% CAGR” is asserted, not shown. Anchor it with the base year and absolute $ so a CFO can’t wave it off.

The bridge shows the what, not the why. Add one line on what drove Cost of Sales up 175%.

Missing the “so what next”. End on the decision you want from the room.

Love the trend line. Can we add the 5-yr $ delta as a callout?

The magenta SG&A bar reads as alarming — maybe mute it, Cost of Sales is the point.

J. Tanaka (CFO) Payback assumes zero churn uplift — what’s the sensitivity?

You If Cost of Sales holds flat, net profit is +38% instead of +16%.
