Well that was an interesting look at past performance .
One of the carry overs is a hefty fine with $US9 M (AUD$13M) still to be paid by 2023 ...https://stock head.com.au/tech/redflexs-us-fraud-legacy-is-almost-over/
“In February 2017, Redflex settled a case with the City of Chicago, agreeing to pay $20 million in annual instalments until 2023 with $10 million coming this year. In 2012, services by its US subsidiary to Chicago were worth 13 per cent of the company’s earnings.
The AFP also opened an investigation into the company’s US operations in 2016.
Redflex no longer expects any financial liability to arise from either party, but still owes the City of Chicago $US9 million as part of those annual settlements. The next instalment is due before December 31, 2019...”

Looking at company earnings in relation to that, the H1 EBITDA was $9.1M representing growth of 64%
H1 FY19 Performance Summary

But the company does seem poised for change despite the 13% Texas setback .
Another media perspective highlighting potential for growth :

The bribery scandal nearly sunk RDF. I bought in after the settlement and re-capitalisation of the business. Since then the new CEO has steadied the ship with:

- Getting the cost base down
- R&D investment in core business, ie. HALO
- new product lines/markets (ticketless parking systems)
- strong focus on business retention/contract renewal at close to 100%
- winning new business (as per my post further up)

The Texas hiccup has been an unfortunate temporary setback for the business ... but IMO an opportunity to get in at a good price. Are you considering dipping a toe in?

BTW - the former CEO went to prison in the USA for her sins (30 months). That’s much more than the slap on the wrist we tend to give white collar criminals in Aust, eg. cartel organisers!
