Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 6% year-over-year (YoY) for both the quarter and six-month periods, driven by growth in 1P recurring revenue customers and business acquisitions.
• Profitability Decline: Net income decreased 65% for the quarter and 37% for the six-month period compared to the prior year. This decline is primarily attributable to a $23.5 million loss on the sale of the 3P Revenue Recovery business completed on June 30, 2026.
• Operating Expenses: General and Administrative (G&A) expenses increased significantly (19% for the quarter, 18% for six months) due to higher stock-based compensation (accelerated equity awards upon executive retirement) and increased personnel costs.
• Customer Base: The number of recurring revenue customers decreased 14% to approximately 46,650, reflecting the divestiture of the 3P business. However, Annual Revenue Per User (ARPU) increased 14% to ~$15,100 for the quarter.
• Cash Flow: Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $121.7 million, a significant increase from $72.3 million in the prior year period, driven by higher net income (adjusted for non-cash items) and favorable changes in working capital.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Strategic Shift: Following the divestiture of the 3P Revenue Recovery business, the company is now focused exclusively on 1P suppliers. Management anticipates that the number of recurring revenue customers and ARPU will increase as they execute their growth strategy.
• Capital Allocation: The company continues to return capital to shareholders. In February 2026, the Board approved an additional $200 million in repurchase authority, bringing the total authorized under the 2025 Program to $300 million. Approximately $186.4 million remains available for future repurchases as of June 30, 2026.
• Acquisitions: The company intends to selectively pursue acquisitions to add customers, expand into new regions, or offer new functionalities. The acquisition of Carbon6 Technologies (closed Feb 2025) remains a key part of the portfolio.
• Risks: The filing notes standard risks including foreign currency exchange fluctuations (8% of cash held in foreign currencies), interest rate sensitivity, and the impact of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) on tax provisions. No material changes to risk factors were reported from the 2025 10-K.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Divestiture Impact: Verify the long-term strategic impact of selling the 3P Revenue Recovery business and the sustainability of the 14% ARPU increase without the 3P customer base.
• Expense Run-Rate: Assess whether the increase in G&A expenses (specifically stock-based compensation and consulting) is a one-time event or a new baseline for operating costs.
• Share Count Reduction: Confirm the trajectory of share count reduction given the aggressive repurchase program ($98.4M spent in H1 2026) and its effect on future EPS.
• Deferred Revenue: Review the $80.9 million deferred revenue balance and the $10.6 million expected to be recognized in the next 12 months to gauge near-term revenue visibility.
• Non-GAAP Reconciliations: Scrutinize the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA, specifically the treatment of the $23.5 million loss on sale and the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments.
