Most software companies talk about operating leverage. This one just proved it.

For years the business carried the cost of running two things at once: a legacy on-premise infrastructure for older customers, and a cloud platform for everyone else. That is expensive. It kept gross margins in the fifties, well below where a subscription software business should operate, and it capped profitability no matter how well the company sold.

The cloud migration completed earlier in 2026. Q2 2026 is the first clean quarter that shows what the business actually looks like underneath.

Non-GAAP gross margin jumped to 62.3% from 57.5%. Adjusted EBITDA margin went to 28.6% from 23.5%. Adjusted EBITDA grew 37% while revenue grew 13%. GAAP operating margin went to 13.4% from 5%.

That gap between 13% revenue growth and 37% EBITDA growth is the entire thesis. Meanwhile the stock is down roughly 39% over the past year.

  • 📈 Q2 2026 Revenue: $219.8M - up 12.6% YoY, beat consensus

  • 💰 Adjusted EBITDA: $62.8M - up 37%, margin 28.6% from 23.5%

  • 📊 Non-GAAP gross margin: 62.3% - up 480 basis points

  • 🔁 Subscription ARR: $825.5M - up 15%, now 83% of revenue

  • 📋 Backlog: $2.8B - up 17% year over year

  • 🏦 1,200+ financial institutions - 27.8 million registered users

  • 🎯 FY2030 framework: ~65% gross margin, ~35% EBITDA margin - management’s own target

  • 🔻 Stock down ~39% - roughly 19x FY2026 earnings

Mini traffic light:

Margin inflection 🟢 - Cloud migration complete; 480bps gross margin expansion in one year; EBITDA growing nearly 3x faster than revenue

Revenue quality 🟢 - Subscription is 83% of revenue and growing 15%; $2.8B backlog up 17%; mission-critical software banks do not switch

Capital allocation 🟢 - $350M added to the buyback authorisation, total capacity $375M, executed against a depressed multiple

Growth rate 🟡 - Total revenue growth is 11-13%, and management’s preliminary 2027 subscription guide is lower than 2026, not higher

AI monetisation 🟡 - Q2 Assistant, Q2 Code and the fraud products are early; demand commentary is strong but revenue contribution is not yet proven
