Shares fell 26.5% following the quarter as investors reacted to ongoing revenue deceleration and cautious near-term outlook driven by a persistent recurring revenue decline and reliance on unpredictable project revenue.
- Revenue totaled $511 million, with recurring revenue down 4.3% year-over-year due to prior commercial challenges and a 12-18 month lag in revenue realization.
- Project revenue rose approximately 11% year-over-year, but remains volatile and a key source of quarter-to-quarter fluctuations.
- EBITDA margin was 18%, supported by higher-than-expected revenue, but margin pressure remains a risk given revenue dynamics.
- Free cash flow of $48 million in the quarter, totaling $101 million year-to-date, reflects solid liquidity with $215 million cash on hand and a $330 million undrawn revolver.
- Management highlighted ongoing investments in technology and client service insourcing, but the transformation is insufficient to offset near-term revenue headwinds.
