The company reported a slower rate of revenue growth during August and September for outright Technology sales due to more cautious consumer behaviour than was anticipated, and continuing margin pressure. Given the deteriorating macroeconomic outlook and pressures on consumer disposable incomes, management now also assumes a more prudent rate of revenue growth through the end of FY22. Q4 is typically a material contributor to full year results. On the positive side, Rentals revenue has benefited from the more difficult economic environment, the launch on Back Market has been positive, and, we infer, Disc Media and Books revenue is in line with expectations. We reduced our FY22–24 EBITDA estimates by 19–30%.
