The company flagged a higher-than-usual closing accounts receivable balance, mainly driven by timing of collections following the recent acquisitions. Management expects these receivables will be collected early in FY27, and confirmed this was a temporary impact stemming from integrating new businesses.

Catapult's capital raise and acquisitions have strengthened its position, allowing the business to finish the year with a healthy US$50 million cash balance and no debt. Investors can expect the full FY26 results announcement on 20 May 2026.

What's next for Catapult Sports?

Looking ahead, Catapult sees its strong subscription revenue and expanding operating leverage supporting further growth. The company plans to continue integrating its new acquisitions, delivering on cost discipline, and driving innovation in sports technology.

Management's focus will be on optimising performance, collecting outstanding receivables, and leveraging its global footprint across more than 5,000 teams and 100+ countries.

Investment in skills and sustainable technology will remain a priority, alongside developing new sites and supporting the transition to clean energy.

The Challenger Ltd (ASX: CGF) share price is in focus after the company announced the withdrawal of its bid for Pepper Money Ltd (ASX: PPM) and received regulatory approval for a $150 million share buy-back.

What did Challenger report?

• Challenger's joint non-binding proposal to acquire Pepper Money was discontinued after review by Pepper Money's Independent Board Committee.
• The company has secured all regulatory approvals to commence an on-market buy-back of up to $150 million in ordinary shares.
• No changes reported to Challenger's core business segments or operational strategy.
• Challenger remains Australia's largest provider of annuities and operates both Funds Management and APRA-regulated Life divisions.

What else do investors need to know?

Challenger's bid to acquire Pepper Money, in partnership with Pepper Group ANZ HoldCo Limited, will not go ahead. This follows the Independent Board Committee of Pepper Money finding the offer is not reasonably capable of execution.

In a separate development, Challenger has now obtained all necessary regulatory approvals to proceed with an on-market share buy-back of up to $150 million. This move may support shareholder returns and potentially bolster confidence in the Challenger share price.

What's next for Challenger?

With the Pepper Money proposal off the table, Challenger is shifting its attention back to core operations and capital management. The announced $150 million buy-back signals the company's commitment to prudent capital deployment and shareholder returns.

Investors will be watching for further updates on Challenger's funds management and annuities business, as well as any new growth opportunities or capital allocation decisions.

Challenger share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, Challenger shares have risen 33%, outperforming the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) which has risen 6% over the same period.
