Earnings Call Summary

The company delivered $117 million in first-quarter revenue, up 26 percent year over year, beating expectations by roughly $1 million. SaaS revenue jumped 35 percent and now represents 80 percent of the business. Management emphasized strong traction in AI governance and data protection, noting that enterprise demand for controlling and auditing AI agents has become a major driver of growth across regulated industries including healthcare and financial services.

Guidance AvePoint raised its full-year ARR target to between $523 million and $529 million, up 26 percent year over year. For the second quarter, management expects $120 million to $122 million in revenue, growing 19 percent. However, currency headwinds reduced the overall revenue raise because more of 2026 deals are now coming in as cloud subscriptions rather than upfront term licenses.

Severe negative reset. The report materially damaged the forward outlook and likely forces major downward revisions.
