Posted a clean beat across both top and bottom lines in Q1 2026, with revenue of $133.68 million growing 13.1% year-over-year and non-GAAP EPS of $0.09 edging past the $0.09 consensus by 2.27%, easing some of the AI skepticism that had weighed on the stock heading into the print. The engine behind the quarter was subscription revenue, which reached $132.46 million and grew 13.4% year-over-year, reinforcing the stickiness of N-able's recurring revenue model as total ARR climbed to $548.00 million. Profitability improved meaningfully, with GAAP operating income expanding to $12.46 million from $1.82 million a year earlier and adjusted EBITDA rising to $36.73 million at a 27.5% margin. Looking ahead, management maintained its full-year 2026 revenue outlook of $554 million to $559 million and guided Q2 revenue to $137.50 million to $138.50 million, projecting adjusted EBITDA margins near 29%, signaling continued operating leverage as its AI-integrated platform scales.
Key Takeaways
