Management Comments
Clint Stinchcomb
"While we were pleased with Q1's year-over-year operational improvement, Q1's sequential revenue decline was anticipated and, we believe, temporary." "We currently expect 2026 to represent a significant step-up in both revenue and cash flow compared to 2025, with subscription revenue increasing by single-digit percentages and with licensing becoming the larger growth engine as it surpasses subscriptions for the full year. In light of our plans to drive double-digit growth in both revenue and cash flow in 2026, our board has raised our dividend to $0.34 per year, reiterating its confidence in this outlook. Notably, gross margin grew to 56%, and this marked our fifth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA and our ninth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted Free Cash Flow."
