Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presented a mix of strong operational and financial improvements (ARR +14%, platform subscription revenue +14%, adjusted EBITDA +36%, margin expansion, positive net income and improved cash flow) alongside continuing top-line pressure in transaction/document delivery and B2C channels driven by a churned large account, lower trial-to-subscriber conversion, and increased competition. Management emphasized strategic progress—API/AI integrations, infrastructure deals with much higher ASPs, and product investments—that underpin durable, higher-margin growth, while acknowledging near-term revenue and pricing execution risks related to transaction dynamics and evolving API pricing models.Company Guidance
ARR Growth and Platform Strength
Annual recurring revenue (ARR) ended the quarter at $21.8M, up 14% year-over-year; B2B ARR ~ $15.3M and normalized B2C ARR ~ $6.4M. Platform revenue share rose to 44% of total revenue from 39% a year ago (≈+500 bps).
Platform Subscription Revenue Increase
Platform subscription revenue increased roughly 14% to $5.2M, driven by a net increase of 47 platform deployments and upsells/cross-sells within customers.
Record Organic ARR Addition in Q2
Total incremental ARR for the quarter was $560K, the highest organic second-quarter ARR in company history.
Profitability and Cash Flow Improvement
Net income of $547K ($0.02/diluted) versus a net loss of $2.0M ($0.07) in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $1.3M from $963K (≈+36%). Cash flow from operations was $1.4M, up 35% year-over-year.
Margin Expansion
Reported gross profit of $6.2M (≈+6% YoY) and blended gross margin of 52.4%, a 350 basis-point improvement year-over-year. Platform gross margin was 88.1%, up 160 bps vs. prior year; trailing 12-month blended gross margin at 50.8%.
Operating Expense Discipline
Total operating expenses declined to $5.4M from $5.7M year-over-year, reflecting lower G&A and stock-based comp that offset higher S&M investment, supporting improved operating leverage.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents were $12.3M (vs. $12.2M on June 30, 2025). No borrowings on the revolving line of credit. Site earn-out payments were funded (total cash ~$2.6M plus ~487K shares) and management expects remaining site earn-out to be funded from operations.
Product & Go-to-Market Transformation (API / AI)
Strategic pivot to API and AI integrations: launched a new API for Article Galaxy, selling infrastructure (API/MCP) that management says yields deals 2x–5x larger than seat-based sales. Examples include customers performing hundreds of thousands to >1M API calls/year, and improved enterprise traction and stickiness.
Sales Momentum and ASP Improvement
47 net new B2B deployments plus continued year-over-year pipeline ASP growth; management reported a 6% ASP increase during the quarter at the pipeline stage.
