Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Q3 2025 delivered strong non-GAAP organic revenue growth of 5.2% and non-GAAP EPS growth of 11%, with significant margin expansion and robust free cash flow, driven by operational discipline, innovation, and AI product launches.
Market leadership was maintained with over 40,000 customers, a diversified recurring revenue model, and 90%+ retention rates, supported by a five-point operating plan and major AI-driven product enhancements.
The EVERFI divestiture impacted year-over-year revenue comparisons, but operational efficiencies and cost reductions led to higher income from operations and improved gross margin.
New logo wins, cross-sell momentum, and multi-year contracts contributed to growth, with transactional recurring revenue streams showing strong performance.
Recognized for workplace innovation and responsibility, including a top-20 ranking on Fast Company's 2025 Best Workplaces for Innovators list.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
