Q2 2026 earnings summary12 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • Fiscal Q2 2026 results were mixed, with a year-over-year decline in transactions due to churned accounts and lower volume from large customers, but B2B segment showed strong ARR bookings and net new deployments.

  • Achieved 14% year-over-year growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR) to $21.8 million, with strong B2B contributions.

  • Net income reached $547,000 ($0.02 per diluted share), reversing a net loss of $2 million in the prior year.

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 36% to $1.3 million, with a trailing twelve-month margin of 11.8%.

  • Product and sales process improvements are ongoing, with rapid innovation and new data integrations, such as patent data, to boost conversion rates.

Financial highlights

  • Total Q2 revenue was $11.8 million, down slightly from $11.9 million year-over-year, as B2B growth did not fully offset transaction revenue softness.

  • Platform subscription revenue grew 14% to $5.2 million, now representing 44% of total revenue.

  • ARR reached $21.8 million, up 14% year-over-year, with $15.3 million from B2B and $6.4 million from B2C (Scite).

  • Gross profit rose 6% to $6.2 million, with gross margin improving 350 basis points to 52.4%.

  • Operating expenses decreased to $5.4 million from $5.7 million, mainly due to lower G&A and stock-based compensation.

Outlook and guidance

  • Expect continued year-over-year decline in transaction revenue due to churned accounts, but anticipate stronger second-half performance due to seasonality.

  • B2B and transaction segments are projected to outperform the first half, with ongoing focus on platform subscription growth and operating expense discipline.

  • Management emphasized continued investment in sales and marketing to accelerate growth while maintaining financial flexibility.

  • Focus remains on long-term value creation and expanding the B2B platform business.

  • Objective is to exceed fiscal 2025 EBITDA levels in each remaining quarter and drive further cash flow growth.

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.
