Did ALKT Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
Alkami Technology posted a solid second quarter, with revenue of $129.84 million beating consensus estimates by 0.89% and growing 15.9% year-over-year, as the digital banking software provider continued to expand its client base amid ongoing activist pressure from investors pushing for a strategic review. The company added 5 new digital banking platform clients during the quarter and ended the period with 313 total clients, while registered users climbed 13% to 23.6 million, underscoring steady platform adoption. Adjusted EBITDA surged to $19.35 million from $11.92 million a year ago, representing nearly 430 basis points of margin expansion, though GAAP gross margin narrowed to 56.8% from 58.6%, partly reflecting elevated third-party and temporary database costs. Annual recurring revenue reached $511.68 million, up 21% year-over-year, signaling durable subscription momentum. Looking ahead, management guided Q3 revenue of $132.70 million to $134.20 million and full-year revenue of $528.00 million to $531.00 million, with the company targeting a "Rule of 45" financial profile and gross margins approaching 70% by 2030.
