The earnings call presents a mixed picture. While there is growth in recurring revenue and EBITDA improvement, the revenue decline and project rollout delays, particularly with Sainsbury's, are concerning. The absence of shareholder return plans and increased debt further dampen sentiment. However, positive growth in new markets and high expectations for AI solutions provide some optimism. The Q&A reveals management's vague responses on financial impacts, adding uncertainty. Overall, the factors balance out, leading to a neutral sentiment.
