Inflationary pressures and consumer spending: Cantaloupe's business relies on small-ticket consumer transactions. Higher inflation, as indicated by upcoming US CPI and PCE data, could curb discretionary spending, impacting transaction volumes on their platforms.

Global supply chain stability and energy costs: Escalating Middle East conflict and OPEC+ production adjustments can lead to higher oil prices. This increases operational costs for businesses that operate and service unattended retail locations, potentially impacting Cantaloupe's customers and their ability to invest in new solutions.

Overall economic growth (GDP): Positive US GDP growth generally signifies a stronger economy and higher consumer confidence. This could translate to more transactions through Cantaloupe's platforms and increased adoption of its self-service solutions by businesses expanding or modernizing.
