Price Performance
Growth Potential
- Recent share price decline provides attractive entry into a high-quality business.
- Leading provider of cloud-accounting solutions for SMEs & accounting practices with strong market positions in Australia & New Zealand. The Company is now looking to replicate its success in overseas markets such as the U.S. and UK.
- Low churn in our view indicates the strong value proposition for customers. Further, XRO’s strategy of becoming a platform will make the customer stickier and the ability to raise prices.
- Management is focused on profitable growth by targeting ‘Rule of 40’ – which is the sum of revenue growth and free cash flow margin should equal 40. Management believes they can double XRO’s FY25 revenue by FY28.
- TAM (including accounting, payments and payroll) is approx. $100bn.
- Launch in new markets and new products, including the integration & monetisation of AI. At the recent results management highlighted that they have started to embed AI capability in products, but they haven’t yet worked out the pricing model (consumption-based, tiered pricing etc). Management is focused on rolling out key features and wants to monitor utilisation.
- Strong management team.
Key Risks
- Increase in churn.
- Currency headwinds due to weakening of NZ$ relative to AUD, USD and Pound.

- Excessive competition from other established players like Intuit leading to loss of market share.
- Inability to extract higher operational efficiencies as the Company scales up.
- Issues in gaining market share especially in markets with established incumbents.
