Date:07/30/26
ALKT scores in the upper-mid range driven primarily by improving fundamentals—strong revenue growth and a clear inflection to positive operating/free cash flow—supported by upbeat guidance for continued growth and adjusted EBITDA margin expansion. Offsetting this are elevated balance-sheet leverage while GAAP earnings remain negative, plus only mixed technical positioning (still below the 200-day moving average) and limited valuation support given negative earnings and no dividend.
Positive Factors
Recurring Revenue / ARR
A $512M ARR base growing 21% YoY creates durable revenue visibility and recurring cash flows. Large ARR supports predictable subscription revenue, improves renewal/upsell economics, and underpins multi-year planning and margin leverage as fixed R&D and SG&A scale over time.
Negative Factors
Elevated Leverage
Material increase in leverage versus prior years raises financial risk until sustained GAAP profitability emerges. High debt loads constrain capital allocation, increase interest exposure, and reduce flexibility to invest or weather cyclical revenue slowdowns without further cash generation gains.

Alkami Technology Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Jul 29, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Oct 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call highlights strong recurring revenue growth, a major ARR milestone ($512M), improving profitability (adjusted EBITDA expansion and operating cash flow recovery), and tangible product-market traction (DSSP, bank expansion, AI-enabled products). Management provided confident 2026 guidance that aligns with earlier multi-year targets. Near-term headwinds include quarter-to-quarter revenue timing (termination fees), a Q2 gross margin step-down, normalization of ARPU after MANTL timing effects, and the deliberate deferral of a database consolidation project into 2027. Overall, the positive indicators (scale, ARR momentum, margin expansion, product adoption) materially outweigh the operational and timing lowlights, supporting a constructive outlook.Positive Updates
Revenue Growth Ahead of Expectations
Q2 revenue of $129.8M, up 15.9% year-over-year; subscription revenue grew 16.2% and represented 95% of total revenue.
Negative Updates
Gross Margin Variability and Q2 Step-Down
Q2 non-GAAP gross margin was 63%, pressured by lower termination fee revenue and timing of direct costs; management expects margin improvement in back half but quarter-to-quarter variability exists.

Company Guidance
Alkami guided Q3 2026 revenue of $132.7M–$134.2M (up 17.5%–18.9%) and adjusted EBITDA of $23.5M–$24.3M (≈17.9% margin at the midpoint), and full‑year 2026 revenue of $528M–$531M (up 19%–19.7%) with adjusted EBITDA of $96M–$98M (≈18.3% margin at the midpoint). Management expects back‑half adjusted EBITDA margin north of 19%, to exit 2026 with non‑GAAP gross margin nearing 65% (about 500 basis points of margin expansion for the year), mid‑to‑high single‑digit ARPU growth, annual dollar churn of 2%–3% (roughly half tied to digital banking), stock‑based compensation below 14% of revenue for 2026 (targeting ~10% longer term), and continued ARR and backlog momentum (ARR ~$512M, ~$61M ARR backlog from 37 clients, and RPO ~$1.7B or 3.4x live ARR) as they pursue Rule of 45 by 2030.Alkami Technology Financial Statement Overview
