    Jonnathan Navarrete's questions to DELUXE (DLX) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Jonnathan Navarrete from TD Cowen asked for more details on the cross-selling potential of the CheckMatch acquisition and questioned how much of the Data Solutions segment's growth was attributable to existing client expansion versus new client wins.

    Answer

    CEO Barry McCarthy explained that adding CheckMatch to the Deluxe Payment Network (DPN) increases the network's value by adding more endpoints, which facilitates more digital payments and creates opportunities for broader B2B payment and receivables solutions. Regarding Data Solutions, McCarthy confirmed growth came from both expanding with existing FI clients and adding new non-FI clients but did not provide a specific breakdown. CFO Chip Zint added that the segment's momentum is expected to continue in Q3, supporting a low-double-digit full-year growth outlook despite a tough Q4 comparison.

    Jonnathan Navarrete's questions to DELUXE (DLX) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Jonnathan Navarrete inquired about the potential impact from the Trump administration's commentary on phasing out physical government checks and asked if Deluxe had observed any spending pull-forward related to recent tariff announcements.

    Answer

    President and CEO Barry McCarthy stated that Deluxe has no direct exposure to the federal government check announcement as it is not a customer. He emphasized that most remaining B2B checks require remittance advice, for which there are no viable electronic substitutes. On tariffs, he noted a very small pull-forward in promo but no material evidence of broader customer stockpiling, as the business is largely transactional.

    Jonnathan Navarrete's questions to DELUXE (DLX) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Jonnathan Navarrete of TD Cowen asked about potential tariff-related headwinds on the supply chain and the degree of pricing flexibility within the Merchant business, including the expected contribution from pricing versus volume for 2025 growth.

    Answer

    CEO Barry McCarthy stated that the company does not anticipate a material impact from tariffs, as most Print materials are sourced domestically and the internationally sourced promotional items are a low-margin part of the business, creating a natural hedge. Regarding the Merchant business, McCarthy explained that while they routinely take price increases, growth is driven by a combination of new logo wins, volume, price, and new features from the Deluxe Payment platform. He emphasized that they compete on differentiated customer experience rather than just price.

    Jonnathan Navarrete's questions to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings (CCO) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Jonnathan Navarrete of TD Cowen asked about the Americas segment's margin compression, where revenue grew 4% but EBITDA was flat, seeking reasons beyond the MTA contract ramp. He also questioned the company's confidence in generating positive free cash flow for the year given the stated cash interest expense.

    Answer

    CFO David Saylor attributed the margin pressure primarily to the ramp-up in site lease expense for the MTA contract, which will be lapped in November. He also noted a lower-margin large format sign production project impacted the quarter. Saylor affirmed confidence in achieving positive free cash flow for the year, stating that the most critical lever is driving top-line revenue to grow EBITDA, which then flows through to cash flow.

    Jonnathan Navarrete's questions to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings (CCO) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Jonnathan Navarrete from TD Cowen inquired about the New York MTA billboard contract, asking about its expected growth contribution to the Americas segment and the associated CapEx and EBITDA ramp. He also questioned the reason for the year-over-year decrease in airports' local revenue in Q4.

    Answer

    CFO David Sailer explained that the MTA contract is expected to add a couple of percentage points of growth to the Americas segment for the full year, with a slower ramp in early 2025. He noted that the related CapEx is incorporated into the company's normal spending guidance and will not cause a spike. Regarding airports' local revenue, he clarified the Q4 decrease was due to tough year-over-year comparisons and not a negative trend, pointing to substantial double-digit growth for the full year.

    Jonnathan Navarrete's questions to INSEEGO (INSG) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Jonnathan Navarrete asked about the broader macro environment's potential to cause pipeline opportunities to slip, the quantifiable revenue upside from the T-Mobile Partner Plus Program, and the expected cadence of free cash flow for 2025.

    Answer

    CEO Juho Sarvikas stated that Inseego is not seeing any movement in its pipeline from its large North American carrier customers. He also explained that the T-Mobile Partner Program allows Inseego to receive subsidies for its channel portfolio, which creates pull for those products. CFO Steven Gatoff confirmed that the company still targets positive free cash flow for the full year 2025, noting that investments in the first half will be outweighed by positive cash flow in the second half.

    Jonnathan Navarrete's questions to LAMAR ADVERTISING CO/NEW (LAMR) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Jonnathan Navarrete asked why AFFO per share guidance remained unchanged despite share repurchases, sought details on the drivers of expense growth that led to a slight EBITDA dip, and requested more color on the Q1 acquisitions.

    Answer

    Executive Jay Johnson explained the AFFO guidance was affirmed conservatively, as the share repurchases occurred late in the quarter and their full impact was not yet included. He attributed higher Q1 expenses to a one-time sales contest, elevated health insurance costs, and some non-recurring regional expenses. Executive Sean Reilly added that the Q1 acquisitions were typical 'fill-in' deals, consisting of high-quality assets within Lamar's existing footprint.

    Jonnathan Navarrete's questions to Bally's (BALY) leadership • Q4 2023

    Question

    Asked about the state of the U.K. consumer, a breakdown of the 2024 CapEx guidance, the potential size of demolition costs not included in CapEx, and the company's current status in the New York casino license process.

    Answer

    The U.K. consumer shows stable spending patterns. The $165M CapEx is split between maintenance (~$65-70M), growth projects (~$35-40M), and interactive/tech investments. Demolition costs for Chicago and Tropicana are not yet quantified as they are out for bid. For New York, Bally's is actively participating in the process and believes it has a compelling proposal but is awaiting the state's timeline.
