Now you can use fancy matrix like proforma earning or EBITDA, however they just fool you into thinking that somehow interest, tax and depreciation are not real expenses.

If you read their own material they aim to have 20bn in underlying sales and NTM of 2% by FY2022, so if you exclude late fees of 0.8% then their NTM would be only 1.2%. This is no where enough to cover their operating expense, considering that their business will be 10 times what it is today?

Is your account a satire account?

How does charging a $7 late fee put people into financial hardship? I think you need to enter the 21st century. $7 is no longer a month's wages.
