Business Context and Reporting Period

This Form 10-Q covers the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026. AvePoint, Inc. is a global provider of modern data protection solutions, enabling organizations to secure, govern, and operationalize data across cloud ecosystems. The company operates as a single reporting segment with a global presence, including a secondary listing on the Singapore Exchange (SGX-ST) completed in September 2025.

Key Financial Metrics

Liquidity & Debt: The company reported no outstanding debt as of March 31, 2026. It maintains a $30.0 million revolving line of credit with HSBC, with an additional $20.0 million accordion feature, maturing in November 2026. No borrowings were outstanding under this facility.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue grew 26% year-over-year, driven primarily by a 35.5% increase in SaaS revenue, which now represents 80% of total revenue (up from 74% in Q1 2025). Services revenue also grew 33%, while term license and support revenue declined 29%.
• Profitability Expansion: Net income surged to $15.3 million from $3.6 million in the prior year. This was driven by revenue growth and a significant reduction in stock-based compensation expense ($7.3 million in Q1 2026 vs. $9.6 million in Q1 2025).
• Geographic Performance: Revenue increased across all regions: EMEA (+30.4%), APAC (+27.7%), and North America (+21.2%).
• Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities improved significantly to $24.3 million from $0.5 million in the prior year, aided by a decrease in accounts receivable and strong net income.
• Share Repurchases: The company repurchased 5.4 million shares for approximately $61.1 million during the quarter, reducing outstanding shares.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Commentary: Management highlighted the general availability of the "AgentPulse Command Center," a new solution for monitoring and governing AI agents. The company emphasized its focus on expense management and scaling its channel partner strategy, which contributed to improved non-GAAP operating margins (17.5% vs. 14.4% in the prior year).

Risks and Contingencies:

• Foreign Exchange: A hypothetical 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar would decrease operating income by approximately $2.1 million. The company has significant revenue and expenses denominated in foreign currencies (Euro, SGD, JPY, AUD, GBP).
• Commitments: The company has a $340.0 million commitment for IT services consumption over five years (starting Dec 2025) and a $50.0 million commitment to a growth equity fund (A3 Ventures Fund 1), though no portion of the fund commitment has been called as of March 31, 2026.
• Seasonality: The first quarter is historically the lowest revenue quarter, while the fourth quarter is typically the highest.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• SaaS Transition: Verify the sustainability of the 35.5% SaaS growth rate and the continued decline in term license revenue as the business model shifts.
• Stock-Based Compensation: Monitor the trend in stock-based compensation, which decreased significantly this quarter; assess if this is a one-time reduction or a structural change.
• Share Count Reduction: Confirm the impact of the aggressive share repurchase program ($61.1M spent in Q1) on future earnings per share.
• IT Commitments: Review the $340 million IT services commitment to ensure consumption targets are met to avoid prepayment penalties.
• FX Exposure: Evaluate the company's hedging strategies given the disclosed sensitivity to USD fluctuations.
