Key Financial Metrics

Note: Total Debt includes $334.7 million in net convertible senior notes and $60.0 million in revolving loan borrowings.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenues increased 28.5% year-over-year to $97.8 million, driven by a 13.0% increase in registered users and an 18.1% increase in Revenue Per Registered User (RPU). The MANTL acquisition contributed $1.4 million in revenue for the period.
• Profitability: Net loss narrowed to $7.8 million from $11.4 million in the prior year, aided by a $7.3 million income tax benefit (vs. $0.2 million expense in 2024) resulting from the partial release of a valuation allowance due to the MANTL acquisition.
• Balance Sheet Transformation: Total assets increased from $437.3 million to $837.2 million, primarily due to the recognition of $252.1 million in goodwill and $153.5 million in intangible assets from the MANTL acquisition.
• Debt Structure: The company issued $345 million in 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 and borrowed $60 million under its revolving credit facility to fund the MANTL acquisition. Prior to this quarter, the company had no long-term debt.
• Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses rose 29.7% to $73.2 million. This includes $2.4 million in acquisition-related expenses and a $1.7 million loss on impairment of intangible assets related to the MANTL integration.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Strategic Outlook: Management emphasizes deepening client customer penetration and expanding the product suite. The MANTL acquisition is expected to augment the platform with onboarding and account opening solutions.
• Liquidity: Management believes existing cash resources, combined with the amended credit facility, are sufficient to finance operations for at least the next 12 months.
• Key Risks:
  • Indebtedness: New debt obligations limit cash flow flexibility and expose the company to interest rate risks and covenant compliance requirements.
  • Convertible Notes: The 2030 Convertible Notes may result in dilution upon conversion. The company entered into capped call transactions to offset potential dilution, but counterparty risk exists.
  • Integration: Risks associated with integrating MANTL, including the potential for further impairments or failure to realize anticipated synergies.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Acquisition Accounting: Verify the final purchase price allocation for MANTL, as the current figures are preliminary and subject to change within the one-year measurement period.
• Debt Covenants: Review the specific financial covenants in the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, particularly the liquidity and leverage ratios, to ensure ongoing compliance.
• Tax Benefit Sustainability: Assess the sustainability of the $7.3 million tax benefit, which was driven by a one-time release of valuation allowance related to the MANTL deal.
• Impairment Charges: Monitor future quarters for additional impairment charges related to the write-off of legacy assets (MK Decisioning Systems) identified during the MANTL acquisition.
• Capped Call Terms: Review the terms of the capped call transactions to understand the cap price ($47.74) and potential dilution scenarios if the stock price exceeds this threshold.
