The company I’m sharing today is a rare case that checks every box on my list:

  • A genuine toll-booth business. Hardware sold once, royalties collected forever

  • Revenue up 26%, royalties up 31%, adjusted EBITDA up 112% year-over-year (nine-month YTD)

  • All interest-bearing debt repaid. CA$16.2M of cash and CA$15.8M of net cash on the balance sheet

  • Fresh NCIB in place to repurchase up to 10% of the public float

  • CEO, Chair and CCO all buying on the open market

  • Reported earnings obscure the real cash-earning power (accounting noise, not operational)

  • Trading at roughly 12x EV to LTM adjusted EBITDA today, and something closer to 10x on my own forward estimates, despite every operational line moving the right way

I rarely find this many boxes ticked in a single microcap.

Let’s dig in.
