Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Q2 2026 revenue increased 5% year-over-year (YoY) to $46.9 million, driven by an 11% increase in the EE&T segment ($36.8M), partially offset by a 10% decline in the M&T segment ($10.1M). Six-month revenue remained flat at $91.5 million.
• Profitability Improvement: Operating loss narrowed significantly by 72% in Q2 2026 compared to Q2 2025, improving from $(2.8) million to $(0.8) million. Adjusted EBITDA grew 44% YoY in Q2 to $5.9 million.
• Acquisition Impact: The acquisition of PathFactory contributed to revenue growth and added $22.0 million in goodwill and $7.3 million in intangible assets. Restructuring expenses of $1.3 million were incurred in Q2 2026 related to workforce reductions and integration.
• Expense Management: General and Administrative (G&A) expenses decreased 22% YoY in Q2, largely due to a $1.3 million gain from the remeasurement of contingent consideration and lower compensation costs. R&D and Sales & Marketing expenses increased slightly due to integration costs and currency fluctuations.
• Cash Flow: Operating cash flow turned negative for the six months ended June 30, 2026, at $(1.3) million, compared to positive $1.6 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in deferred revenue and an increase in trade receivables.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects gross margins to continue a growth trend over the long term. The company is focusing on "land and expand" strategies, with a Net Dollar Retention Rate of 96% for Q2 2026. Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) grew 8% to $184.6 million as of June 30, 2026.
• Strategic Focus: Continued investment in Generative AI (Gen AI) and agentic capabilities to drive personalized digital experiences. The company is expanding go-to-market approaches to include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and developer-led growth.
• Liquidity: As of June 30, 2026, the company held $26.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Term Loan Facility has a remaining balance of approximately $26.6 million due December 2026. The Revolving Credit Facility has $25.0 million available.
• Risks:
  • Geopolitical: Exposure to political, economic, and military conditions in Israel, Ukraine, and the Middle East.
  • Customer Concentration: One customer (Customer A in M&T) represented 10.18% of revenue in Q2 2026.
  • AI Regulation: Risks associated with evolving regulatory frameworks for AI and data privacy (e.g., EU Data Act).
  • Debt Covenants: The company must maintain minimum Adjusted EBITDA and liquidity levels under its credit agreement.

Key Investor Verification Points

• Debt Maturity: Verify the company's ability to refinance or repay the $26.6 million Term Loan Facility maturing in December 2026, given the current negative operating cash flow.
• Deferred Revenue Trend: Monitor the significant decrease in deferred revenue ($12.9 million outflow in 6M 2026) to ensure it reflects normal contract cycles rather than a slowdown in new bookings.
• Acquisition Integration: Assess the realization of synergies from the PathFactory and BlueRush acquisitions, particularly regarding the $1.3 million restructuring costs and future amortization of intangible assets.
• Segment Mix: Track the divergence between the growing EE&T segment and the declining M&T segment to understand the sustainability of overall revenue growth.
• Contingent Consideration: Review the $5.5 million liability for contingent earn-out payments related to the eSelf acquisition and the impact of fair value adjustments on G&A expenses.
