The standout driver behind the revenue outperformance was a surge in transactional book sales ahead of a planned June 2026 disposal, which also prompted management to raise its full-year 2025 revenue outlook to $2.42 billion-$2.46 billion from a prior range of $2.28 billion-$2.40 billion. Organic ACV growth accelerated 30 basis points sequentially to 1.6%, renewal rates improved 100 basis points to 93%, and recurring revenue mix expanded to 88% on a year-to-date organic basis, underscoring the company's deliberate pivot toward higher-quality subscription revenue. Despite the top-line strength, Adjusted EBITDA slipped to $252.40 million from $264.40 million a year ago, with margin compressing 200 basis points to 40.5%, pressured by higher incentive compensation and ongoing product investment. With a strategic alternatives review conclusion expected in February 2026, investors are watching closely for signals on the company's longer-term direction.
