Management commentary
Speaking on the results sending Tyro shares skywards today, CEO and managing director Robbie Cooke said:
Despite the challenges of 2022 with Covid, tight labour markets, market de-ratings of payment companies and inflationary pressures – we responded strongly with focused cost management, tight margin management, and a continuing focus on serving our customers while delivering new products and services to our merchants.
These actions started to positively contribute in the last quarter of the year and remain a key focus in FY23. They are expected to yield further operating leverage improvements in parallel with our continuing focus on driving strong top line growth and new merchant acquisition.
