Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 48.2% year-over-year, driven by 18.1% organic growth and significant inorganic growth from acquisitions (Plexure, TASK, Delaget, and GoSkip).
- Margin Expansion: Total gross margin improved by 930 basis points to 46.5%, primarily due to efficiency improvements in hosting/support costs and favorable hardware product mix.
- Debt Restructuring: The Company issued $115.0 million in 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 and used proceeds to fully repay its $90.0 million Credit Facility with Blue Owl Capital. This resulted in a $5.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
- Acquisition Activity: Completed the GoSkip asset acquisition for ~$4.8 million to expand self-checkout offerings. Finalized purchase price allocations for Delaget and TASK Group.
- Discontinued Operations: Net income from discontinued operations dropped to $0.2 million from $2.1 million in the prior year, as the Government segment was divested.

- Macroeconomic Risks: New tariffs on imports from several countries have introduced uncertainty regarding supply chains and hardware costs. Management anticipates potential supply chain challenges and commodity cost volatility.
- Key Performance Indicators: Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) grew 51.9% to $282.1 million. Active sites increased 30.1% for Engagement Cloud and 118.5% for Operator Cloud.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Debt Conversion Terms: Verify the conversion rate (10.3089 shares per $1,000) and maturity date (Jan 15, 2030) of the new 2030 Notes.
- Acquisition Integration: Monitor the realization of synergies from TASK Group, Delaget, and GoSkip, specifically regarding the impact on operating expenses and gross margins.
- Tariff Impact: Assess the actual impact of new import tariffs on hardware gross margins and supply chain continuity in upcoming quarters.
- Customer Concentration: Note that McDonald's Corporation accounted for 19% of total revenue in Q1 2025 (up from 10% in Q1 2024).
- Non-GAAP Reconciliations: Review the reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA, noting the exclusion of the $5.8 million debt extinguishment loss and $7.2 million in stock-based compensation.
