Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 12.6% year-over-year in Q2 and 13.4% year-over-year for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Growth was driven primarily by a 15% increase in subscription revenue from new and existing customers.
• Profitability Expansion: Net income more than doubled year-over-year ($29.9M vs $11.8M in Q2). Operating income surged to $29.3 million from $9.8 million in the prior year quarter, aided by improved gross margins and controlled operating expenses.
• Debt Elimination: The company repaid the full $304.0 million principal of its 0.75% convertible senior notes in the second quarter of 2026, eliminating interest expense associated with this instrument.
• Share Repurchases: The company repurchased 502,055 shares for $22.9 million in Q2 and 2.3 million shares for $120.1 million YTD under its repurchase program.
• Cost Structure: Cost of revenues decreased slightly year-over-year due to reduced data center depreciation (following migration to public cloud) and lower amortization of acquired technology, partially offset by increased cloud service costs and AI-related usage.
