TMR Capital operates a long/short strategy focused on Technology investments and SMID cap value-oriented special situations, taking advantage of market dislocations where the cheapest quartile of stocks is at decade lows while expensive stocks trade at elevated multiples. The fund's differentiated approach targets an increasingly neglected area of the market where they can more easily influence market perception. Key holdings include Zenvia, which is refocusing around its AI-driven Customer Cloud platform with expected 30% revenue growth in 2025, and WM Technology, a dominant cannabis marketplace trading at attractive valuations while facing a lowball acquisition attempt from co-founders. The manager expects increased dispersion in Technology as the AI cycle progresses, creating opportunities to pick winners and losers. They anticipate M&A activity to increase in 2025, positioning their special situations focus favorably. With virtually no correlation to the S&P 500, the fund has generated an uncorrelated return stream and the manager feels confident in their ability to continue delivering strong absolute returns regardless of market conditions.

| ZENV | Zenvia has announced a strategic refocus along with the potential for an opportunistic divestment of non-core assets to optimize their capital structure. Zenvia Customer Cloud (ZCC) was officially launched in October 2024 and will become Zenvia's core business moving forward. ZCC is powered by AI-driven solutions and robust data analytics and is designed to adapt similarly to business of all sizes and across diverse industries. Clients already using it report enhanced customer engagement, increased sales, and reduced costs. Zenvia's business will further shift to a volume-based pricing model, where clients pay based on the number of interactions they have with their clients and prospects rather than the traditional per-seat SaaS model. This approach is enabled by the extensive use of AI in their software, which minimizes the reliance of human agents, enhances efficiency for clients, and unlocks greater revenue generation potential with much less complexity. The ZCC customer base is a mix of existing clients who transitioned and new customers. ZCC is expected to grow revenue 30% in 2025 with 70% gross margins and positive EBITDA. Anything in the SaaS and CPaaS business that is not ZCC is counted as non-core and may be divested in the near future. |
| MAPS | The company is an online marketplace/classifieds business for cannabis - it's a picks & shovel play. $180M revenue, 95% gross margins, 17% EBITDA margins, FCF generative. $45M cash, no debt but they do have operating leases. They have become the dominant platform in the industry. Given the company's lead in traffic, active users, and retailers/brands on the platform, WM Technology benefits from strong network effects. Dispensaries have to be on the platform if they want to drive sales. They trade at 1x revenue and 6x EBITDA. They had no sell side analysts or investors on their latest earnings call. The co-founders are trying to acquire the company at 1.7, effectively stealing the company from shareholders. The stock currently trades at 1.3 per share. We sent a letter to the Board urging them to reject the low ball acquisition and instead pursue a novel capital allocation approach that can improve their balance sheet and instantly get them attention from the capital markets. |
