Company Overview &amp; Strategic Pivot to Core Affiliate Model: ShopBack is a late-stage digital loyalty and affiliate marketing platform operating across the Asia-Pacific region, having recently streamlined its operational footprint by exiting the capital-intensive buy-now-pay-later segment to refocus on its core cashback, voucher, and advertising ecosystem.</li>
<li>
Strong Liquidity &amp; Path to Profitability: The core investment case is anchored by a strong cash position of S$208.6m (as reported) as of FY25 and an estimated US$341m in equity funding from institutional investors, providing the financial runway to execute cost-rationalisation initiatives that successfully saw the company achieve 6 consecutive quarters of EBITDA profitability up to end-March 2026.</li>
<li>
Revenue Contraction &amp; Balance Sheet Structural Issues: A key matter to monitor would be between a stagnant top line and deteriorating statutory results in recent years, as revenue was broadly flat at US$99.0m in FY25 amid intense competition from embedded e-commerce ecosystems, while widening headline losses largely reflected non-cash impairments from the BNPL exit, with underlying cash burn narrowing materially. Looking ahead, this top-line stagnation is projected to reverse sharply, with management guiding a positive FY26 outlook and beyond.</li>
