“Third, the delta between our guidance for ARR and revenue growth is driven by two factors: our services business, which is excluded from ARR and which we expect to grow at a slower rate than in 2025, and our term license revenue, where we expect growth to be roughly flat versus 2025 and thus we will realize less upfront revenue in 2026.”

In context

“xpect revenue growth of 20% at the midpoint. And lastly, we expect full-year non-GAAP operating income of $92,600,000 to $96,600,000. Finally, on a Rule of 40 basis, the midpoint of our initial full-year guidance is a 45. Before we open it up for Q&A, I want to provide some additional color into our guidance and how we are thinking about Q1 and the year. First, our guidance philosophy remains unchanged. We want to responsibly set expectations that are consistent with the demand trends we are currently seeing. Second, our FX-adjusted ARR guidance for the year is 26% growth, in line with 2025. I also want to remind you that our 2025 ARR included $2,800,000 in Q1 from our acquisition of Identik. Adjusting for this, our guidance for FX-adjusted ARR growth represents an acceleration over 2025. Third, the delta between our guidance for ARR and revenue growth is driven by two factors: our services business, which is excluded from ARR and which we expect to grow at a slower rate than in 2025, and our term license revenue, where we expect growth to be roughly flat versus 2025 and thus we will realize less upfront revenue in 2026. Lastly, with regard to margins, we expect that 2026 will be an investment year, specifically focused on strengthening our go-to-market strategy through meaningful increases in marketing spend. I want to reiterate that there is no change to our long-term target of 25% to 30% non-GAAP operating margins, while reminding you of our prior commentary that the margin trajectory between now and 2029 will not be perfectly linear. And, importantly, as I mentioned, we expect that stock-based compensation will further decline as a percentage of revenues in 2026 and thus GAAP operating margins will, in fact, expand this year. In summary, we are proud of our fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, which are a testament to the execution of our teams and the growing demand for our platform offering. A”
