Action:Reiterated
Date:06/06/26
The score is driven primarily by strong financial quality (high margins, low leverage, and strong free cash flow) and a very positive earnings update with record profitability and cash generation. Technicals are supportive with the stock trading above major moving averages. The main restraint is the elevated valuation (high P/E) alongside modest recent revenue growth and some expense/investment pressure.
Positive Factors
High Gross Margins
Very high gross margins reflect a scalable data-and-software model with low incremental cost to serve additional searches. Durable margin advantage supports reinvestment in product, fuels free cash flow and creates a structural cushion versus competitors with higher unit costs.
Negative Factors
Modest TTM Revenue Growth
Trailing growth is modest relative to the company's high margin profile, meaning returns depend heavily on margin expansion and operating leverage. Sustained shareholder outcomes require accelerating top-line traction across verticals, not just margin gains.

Red Violet Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 06, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 12, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a strongly positive operational and financial performance: record revenue, record margins, record adjusted EBITDA and EPS, meaningful customer and user growth, and substantial cash generation. Management emphasized AI-driven acceleration, disciplined capital allocation, and a clear multi-year operating thesis while continuing to invest in go-to-market, product, and data. Headwinds were limited to elevated operating investments (notably a 28% increase in G&A), modest weakness in the non-FOREWARN real estate vertical, a 1-point dip in gross retention, and the absence of a timeline for long-term margin maturity. Overall, the positives (record results, margin expansion, customer/user growth, and cash flow) materially outweigh the limited challenges and uncertainties.Positive Updates
Record Revenue and Run Rate Milestone
Revenue reached a record $25.8M in Q1, up 17% year-over-year and crossing a $100M+ annualized revenue run rate; management noted underlying growth >20% when normalizing for $1.2M of one-time revenue in the prior-year quarter (analyst apples-to-apples estimate ~24%).
Negative Updates
Rising Operating Expenses (G&A and S&M)
General and administrative expenses increased 28% to $7.9M (driven by higher personnel costs and acquisition-related activity); sales and marketing rose 8% to $5.9M—indicating higher near-term investment and pressure on operating expense growth.

Company Guidance
Management said it would not provide formal guidance or a timeline, but reiterated model targets and near-term expectations: Q1 revenue was $25.8M (up 17% YoY; >$100M annual run rate), adjusted gross profit $22.0M (adjusted gross margin 85%, +2 pts), adjusted EBITDA $10.7M (adj. EBITDA margin 41%, +3 pts), adjusted net income $6.6M and adjusted EPS $0.46, operating cash flow $6.6M (+32%), free cash flow $3.1M (+24%), cash $43.5M, 73,250 shares repurchased at an average $41.90 with $15.6M remaining; customer metrics included 400 new billable IDI customers (total 10,422), FOREWARN >417,000 users and >640 realtor associations, contractual revenue 75% and gross revenue retention 95%; operating costs included cost of revenue ex‑D&A $3.8M (+4%), S&M $5.9M (+8%), G&A $7.9M (+28%), and D&A $2.8M (+10%). Looking ahead, management expects near‑term adjusted EBITDA margins to trend in the mid‑to‑high‑30% range as they invest, and reiterated that at maturity the model could exceed 90% adjusted gross margin and approach ~65% adjusted EBITDA margin, but they declined to pin a date on that outcome.Red Violet Financial Statement Overview
