The five investor questions

27

2022–2025 (latest 4 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $3.6M to $3M, decreasing; diluted EPS -0.45 to -5.31, decreasing. Latest-filed diluted EPS remains usable for Business Trend, but an integer share-count change lacks enough evidence to confirm a comparable EPS basis; valuation growth therefore stays at 0%.

0

Median gross margin -197.6% over 4y, variable.

0

Median ROIC -223.9%, above the 12% hurdle in 0% of years.

28

Net debt/EBITDA n/ax, interest coverage -61x.

44

Owner earnings changed trend unclear over up to the ten most recent annual observations, share count n/a.

Price vs. value if growth stopped today

A cautious baseline, not a price target: what the shares may support if normalized owner earnings simply hold steady.

This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.

Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 243% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

Model details under moat-index@3.0.0: zero-growth multiple 11.1×, capped-growth comparison at no more than 18×; 9% discount rate; high-end growth 0% (capped at 4%) using min(5y revenue CAGR, 5y diluted-EPS CAGR), clamped to 0%–4%; maintenance capex uses min(capex, D&A); abstain when D&A is unavailable. This is a disclosed model range, not intrinsic value as fact.

5 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

PINEAPPLE FINANCIAL INC. booked $3M of revenue in FY2025 in the Other sector and kept 46.3% of it as gross profit — a solid-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −121.8% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

It earned −256.9% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 3-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was −223.9%. Over the v3 recent window (3 measurable filed years), median ROIC was −223.9%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 0/100.

PAPL's latest filed year, FY2025, doesn't disclose total debt in a form the methodology can use, so current leverage is treated as unmeasured — never assumed to be zero.

Put together: Capital Allocation is the strongest of the five filters (44/100) and Pricing Power the weakest (0/100), which is how PAPL lands at 20/100 — a None moat.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.

The explained ROIC gaps have filed inputs but no meaningful positive invested-capital denominator. Other gaps mean the item is not in the filings for that year.

Insider activity

Form 4 reports mix P/S market or private transactions with compensation-plan mechanics. Activity casually described as “insider selling” can include compensation mechanics; awards, tax withholding, and option exercises are shown by their exact filed class here, never collapsed into “Bought” or “Sold.”

These are disclosed filing facts and arithmetic aggregates, not a signal or verdict.

This machine-readable surface covers SEC ownership filings from 2003; it does not represent earlier paper-era records.

No reported Form 4 transactions were found in the complete checked issuer window for PAPL, –. The totals and cluster result below are arithmetic over that certified window.
