Fiscal Year 2025
-
Q4 results exceeded guidance with strong revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, driven by cost discipline and enterprise renewals. Syntrix, the new AI assurance platform, is gaining traction, and partnerships like Google Cloud are expanding market reach. 2026 guidance anticipates revenue decline but positive net ARR in H2.

Q2 revenue and adjusted EBITDA exceeded guidance, but full-year revenue outlook was lowered due to slower bookings and renewal hesitation from large customers amid macro uncertainty and financial stability concerns. Debt refinancing reduced leverage and extended maturities, while strategic AI partnerships and platform migration are expected to drive future growth.

-
Q3 revenue and adjusted EBITDA exceeded guidance, driven by product innovation, new pricing, and strategic partnerships. Despite ongoing customer attrition and sequential revenue declines, bookings momentum and improved retention visibility support a return to growth by late 2025.

Q2 revenue and adjusted EBITDA exceeded guidance, supported by improved customer retention, cost reductions, and a strengthened capital structure. New pricing, AI innovations, and key customer renewals drove momentum, though sequential revenue declines are expected due to prior churn.
