Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 10% year-over-year (YoY) for both the quarter and six-month periods. Subscription revenue grew 21% YoY, driven by SaaS adoption and transaction-based fee growth.
- Profitability: Net income rose 25% for the quarter and 36% for the six-month period. Gross margins expanded by 1.8% (quarter) and 2.7% (YTD) due to a favorable revenue mix shift toward higher-margin SaaS.
- Expense Trends:
- R&D Expense: Increased significantly (76% for the quarter, 69% YTD) due to redeployment of resources from support to new product development and increased share-based compensation.
- Professional Services: Revenue declined 19% (quarter) and 10% (YTD), primarily due to $8.5 million in loss reserves for contracts with two state government agencies.
- Sales & Marketing: Decreased 13% (quarter) and 7% (YTD) as a percentage of revenue, attributed to higher capitalization of contract acquisition costs.
- Acquisitions: Acquired MyGov, LLC in January 2025 for approximately $18.2 million net cash. A subsequent acquisition was completed on July 28, 2025, for approximately $20 million.

- Tax Legislation: The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) was signed into law on July 4, 2025.
