SEC filingRevenue declined 2% YoY but gross margin improved 700 bps to 73% driven by software mix shift and cost controls.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, total revenue decreased 2% YoY to $59.8M, primarily due to lower hardware volumes in Security Solutions as customers shifted to mobile-first authentication. However, gross profit rose 9% to $44.0M as gross margin expanded 700 basis points to 73%, driven by a favorable mix shift toward higher-margin software revenue and the absence of the prior year's blockchain write-off. Operating income surged 38% to $10.5M, reflecting strong cost controls and lower restructuring charges. Net income increased 27% to $8.3M, while Adjusted EBITDA grew to $17.6M from $16.2M.
Security Solutions revenue fell 3% to $44.2M, as a 17% decline in hardware sales (mobile-first trend) outweighed a 39% surge in subscription revenue. Despite the revenue drop, segment operating income remained strong at $19.8M, though down 4% YoY due to higher sales and marketing and R&D investments, including the Nok Nok Labs acquisition. Gross margin improved to 74% from 67% on better software mix.
Digital Agreements revenue edged up 1% to $15.6M, led by 5% growth in cloud subscriptions from existing customer expansions. The segment turned profitable with operating income of $2.9M versus a $0.2M loss in the prior year, as gross margin rose to 71% (from 63%) and operating expenses declined. The improvement was driven by higher-margin subscription revenue and the absence of the 2024 blockchain write-off.
Management emphasized driving profitable, efficient growth with a focus on subscription revenue. The restructuring plan (2023 Actions) is expected to incur $0-$0.5M in additional charges through year-end 2025, with workforce reductions substantially complete. The Nok Nok Labs acquisition, closed in June 2025, is expected to expand passwordless authentication offerings. ARR grew 8% YoY to $177.8M, signaling recurring revenue momentum, though the net retention rate softened to 101% from 112% due to fewer expansion deals. Foreign exchange headwinds were modest, impacting revenue by $1.2M favorably in Q2. The company maintains a strong liquidity position with $92.9M cash and a new $100M credit facility. No formal quantitative revenue guidance was provided, but the outlook remains positive for subscription growth and margin expansion.

CFO of $35.6M covered net income of $22.8M by 1.56x, indicating strong cash generation. The primary driver was a significant $24.9M decrease in accounts receivable (versus $19.9M in the prior year), though this was partially offset by a $18.0M decline in deferred revenue. Capex intensity remained low at 15.3% of CFO (down from 18.2% in H1 2024). Free cash flow (CFO minus capex) of $32.1M amply covered dividends of $9.2M, leaving $22.9M for reinvestment or debt reduction. Investing activities included $12.1M for an acquisition. Financing reflected $2.4M in tax payments for restricted stock and $0.6M in debt issuance costs, with no share repurchases. Working capital swings were favorable overall, with receivables and payables providing a net $26.2M boost, offset by deferred revenue and accrued expenses declines. The effect of exchange rate changes added $1.7M to cash.
