Strong Q4 Revenue and Profitability
Q4 revenue of $32.4M (up 7% YoY) came in near the high end of guidance. Non-GAAP operating income was $5.4M (above the high end of guidance) with a non-GAAP operating margin of 17%. Non-GAAP gross margin improved to 80% (from 78% prior quarter).
Mortgage Suite Stabilized and Grew
Mortgage Suite revenue was $18.8M, up 3% YoY. Funded loan growth was solid at +11% in Q4 and economic value per funded loan (EV PFL) was $83 in Q4 (within prior guidance). Management expects mortgage revenue growth to continue as volumes improve.
Consumer Banking Growth and Strategic Wins
Consumer Banking revenue was $11.5M, up 21% YoY. Management closed 10 new deals/expansions in Q4 including a new top-40 credit union (7-figure annual logo) and a cross-sell of mortgage to an existing Consumer Banking customer, demonstrating successful product expansion.
Blend Autopilot Launch with Early Customer Adoption
Launched Blend Autopilot (Mar 3). Within the first week 7 large customers have turned it on or are preparing to turn it on in preview. Key capabilities: real-time intelligence (15-30s checks), contextual workflows, automated field updates (including deterministic income calculations), and compliance-first oversight. Management positions Autopilot to materially reduce manual 'stare-and-compare' work and improve unit economics.
Robust Pipeline and Shift to Bundled Deals
Overall sales pipeline up ~40% YoY. Management notes a structural shift toward bundled deals spanning Mortgage, Rapid, Close and Consumer Banking, which could increase deal value and stickiness.
Healthy Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation
Ended the quarter with $68.3M in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and 0 debt. Repurchased ~5.1M shares (~$15–16M) in Q4 and announced a new board-approved $50M repurchase authorization, signaling confidence in intrinsic value.
Positive Free Cash Flow and Cost Discipline
Q4 free cash flow was +$1.3M and full-year 2025 free cash flow was +$2.8M. Non-GAAP operating expenses declined ~4% quarter-over-quarter, demonstrating operating leverage from a lean 'software-first' cost structure.
