The Ethical Read
Why It Clears, in Plain English
Endava clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 24%, inside the ~33% line, and almost none of its income is interest, so it passes.

What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Fair value under review. Our model's value is 2.92x the price, above our 2.00x limit. We show no fair value, margin of safety or value read built on it until the review clears.
Another profit measure, before interest, tax and non-cash costs: EBITDA.
The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; its business and earnings are exposed to United Kingdom and to currency swings.
