Key Financial Metrics

Note: Recurring subscription and payment processing gross margin remained stable at 78% for both years.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Driven by $23.9 million from new customer locations (69% of growth) and $10.8 million from existing customers (31%). Total customer locations increased to 39,625 from 34,997.
• Acquisition: Completed the acquisition of TrueLark (Vidurama, Inc.) in May 2025 for $35.9 million to enhance AI receptionist capabilities. This resulted in $29.5 million of goodwill and $8.0 million of intangible assets.
• Expense Increases: Sales and marketing expenses rose 21% to $102.7 million due to headcount growth and increased demand generation. General and administrative expenses increased 6% to $55.8 million, partially due to $1.5 million in one-time acquisition costs.
• Retention Metrics: Dollar-based net retention rate decreased to 93% from 98%, and gross retention rate decreased to 89% from 91% (excluding TrueLark impact).

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Profitability Path: The company continues to incur net losses with an accumulated deficit of $319.1 million. Management expects revenue growth rates to decline over time as the company scales.
• Strategic Focus: Continued investment in AI-powered features (e.g., AI-receptionist, Call Intelligence) and expansion into Specialty Medical verticals, which is now the second-largest and fastest-growing segment.
• Liquidity: The company maintains a $50.0 million revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) with no outstanding balance. Financial covenants require maintaining minimum liquidity of $20.0 million if cash balances fall below $100.0 million.
• Key Risks:
  • AI Regulation: Conflicting state and federal regulations regarding AI could increase compliance costs and operational constraints.
  • Third-Party Dependencies: Reliance on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for infrastructure and Stripe for payment processing creates single points of failure.
  • Customer Concentration: No single customer represents more than 5% of revenue, but the SMB market is susceptible to economic downturns.
  • Competition: Highly fragmented market with competition from point solutions and potential integration by larger practice management system providers.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Retention Trends: Verify the reasons for the decline in Net Revenue Retention (93%) and Gross Revenue Retention (89%) compared to 2024.
• Acquisition Integration: Assess the progress of integrating TrueLark and the realization of synergies from the $35.9 million acquisition.
• AI ROI: Evaluate the cost-benefit analysis of AI investments, as management notes these may negatively impact gross margins until revenue offsets the costs.
• Debt Covenants: Monitor compliance with SVB liquidity covenants, specifically the $20 million minimum liquidity threshold if cash balances drop below $100 million.
• Regulatory Exposure: Review the impact of evolving AI governance statutes and data privacy laws (e.g., CPRA, HIPAA) on operational costs.
