Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Alkami Technology reported strong growth for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 while remaining unprofitable on a GAAP basis. Fourth-quarter revenue was $120.8 million, up 34.7% year over year, with GAAP gross margin of 57.2% and non-GAAP gross margin of 63.4%. GAAP net loss was $11.4 million, but Adjusted EBITDA rose to $19.1 million from $10.2 million.

For 2025, revenue reached $443.6 million, up 32.9%, with GAAP net loss of $47.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA more than doubling to $59.1 million. Annual recurring revenue ended the year at $480.3 million, up 35%, supported by 22.4 million digital banking users and revenue per registered user of $21.44, up 20%.

The company highlighted momentum from its Digital Sales & Service Platform and the MANTL acquisition, with 301 digital banking clients and remaining performance obligation of $1.7 billion. For 2026, Alkami guides to revenue of $525.5–$530.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $93.5–$97.5 million, implying continued double-digit growth and margin expansion.

Positive

  • Strong top-line and ARR growth: 2025 GAAP revenue grew 32.9% to $443.6M, annual recurring revenue rose 35% to $480.3M, and revenue per registered user increased 20% to $21.44, indicating healthy demand and deeper product penetration.
  • Rapid profitability and cash-flow improvement: Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to $59.1M, free cash flow rose to $34.2M from $10.7M, and 2026 guidance of $93.5–$97.5M Adjusted EBITDA signals continued margin expansion.
  • High visibility from long-term contracts: Remaining performance obligation reached $1.7B, about 3.6 times live ARR as described, supporting multi-year revenue visibility from 301 digital banking clients and a largely subscription-based model.

Negative

  • Continued GAAP losses despite scale: Alkami reported a 2025 GAAP net loss of $47.7M, wider than 2024’s $40.8M, showing that strong growth and non-GAAP profitability have not yet translated into GAAP profitability.
  • Increased leverage from financing and acquisition activity: The balance sheet now carries $336.2M of convertible senior notes and a $15.0M revolving loan, while 2025 investing cash outflows of $397.6M include a $375.5M business acquisition, materially raising financial commitments.

Insights

Alkami is growing fast with improving cash economics but still posts GAAP losses and higher leverage.

Alkami delivered 2025 revenue of $443.6M, up 32.9%, with Adjusted EBITDA jumping to $59.1M from $26.9M. Q4 revenue grew 34.7% and Adjusted EBITDA reached $19.1M, showing strong operating leverage despite ongoing investment.

Key SaaS metrics were robust: annual recurring revenue rose 35% to $480.3M, registered users reached 22.4M, and revenue per user increased 20% to $21.44. Remaining performance obligation of $1.7B provides multi-year visibility, and free cash flow improved to $34.2M in 2025.

Management guides 2026 revenue to $525.5–$530.5M and Adjusted EBITDA to $93.5–$97.5M, implying further margin expansion. Offsetting this, GAAP net loss was $47.7M and the balance sheet now includes $336.2M of convertible senior notes, largely tied to the $375.5M MANTL acquisition, increasing financial obligations alongside growth.

Comments on the News

Alex Shootman, Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the fourth quarter, we continued to deliver strong growth and enhanced profitability, with revenue growth of 35% and Adjusted EBITDA of $19.1 million. This capped a year that saw revenue growth of 33% and Adjusted EBITDA of more than double that of 2024. We also continued to expand our client portfolio, signing an additional 39 new logos in the year, including 11 banks, and our fourth quarter was our best new logo quarter in four years.”

Shootman added, “We experienced tremendous momentum in the second half of the year as we began to see the impact of our new go-to-market motion, Alkami’s Digital Sales & Service Platform, which includes onboarding and account opening, digital banking and data and marketing. In the second half of the year, over 50% of our new logo online banking deals resulted in customers under our Platform umbrella. In addition, in the second half, our win rates increased materially across digital banking, MANTL and Data & Marketing. This underscores that despite a volatile macro environment throughout most of 2025, the demand for a modern digital banking platform remains strong, and that Alkami is competing more effectively than ever.”

Cassandra Hudson, Chief Financial Officer, said, “In 2025, we added 2.4 million registered users to our digital banking platform, ending the year with 22.4 million digital banking users. We exited 2025 with annual recurring revenue of $480.3 million, up 35% compared to December 31, 2024 and revenue per registered user of $21.44, up 20% compared to the year-ago quarter. Our remaining performance obligation reached $1.7 billion at December 31, 2025, providing substantial visibility into our future operating and financial performance.”

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics
The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. However, the company believes that, in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial, operational and strategic trends, it may be helpful for investors to exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring items when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in both frequency and impact on continuing operations. The company also uses results of operations excluding such items to evaluate the operating performance of Alkami and compare it against prior periods, make operating decisions, determine executive compensation, and serve as a basis for long-term strategic planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide the company with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in its ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that Alkami believes might otherwise make comparisons of its ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts, or obscure the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of certain business strategies and management incentive structures. In addition, the company also believes that investors and financial analysts find this information to be helpful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors.

The company defines “Non-GAAP Cost of Revenues” as cost of revenues, excluding (1) amortization and (2) stock-based compensation expense. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s ability to generate income from ongoing business operations.

The company defines “Non-GAAP Gross Margin” as gross profit, plus (1) amortization and (2) stock-based compensation expense, all divided by revenue. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s ability to generate income from ongoing business operations.

The company defines “Non-GAAP Research and Development Expense” as research and development expense, excluding stock-based compensation expense. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s ongoing expenditures related to product innovation.




The company defines “Non-GAAP Sales and Marketing Expense” as sales and marketing expense, excluding stock-based compensation expense. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s ongoing expenditures related to its sales and marketing strategies.

The company defines “Non-GAAP General and Administrative Expense” as general and administrative expense, excluding (1) stock-based compensation expense, (2) secondary offering related expenses, and (3) stockholder matters related expenses. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s underlying expense structure to support corporate activities and processes.

The company defines “Non-GAAP Income Before Income Taxes” as loss before income taxes, plus (1) amortization, (2) stock-based compensation expense, (3) secondary offering related expenses, (4) acquisition-related expenses, (5) loss on impairment of intangible assets, and (6) stockholder matters related expenses. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s ability to generate income from ongoing business operations.

The company defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as net loss plus (1) (benefit from) provision for income taxes, (2) interest expense (income), net, (3) depreciation and amortization (4) stock-based compensation expense, (5) secondary offering related expenses, (6) acquisition-related expenses, (7) loss on impairment of intangible assets, and (8) stockholder matters related expenses. The company believes adjusted EBITDA provides investors and other users of our financial information consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations.

The company defines “Free Cash Flow” as net cash provided by operating activities less (1) purchase of property and equipment and (2) Capitalized software development costs. The company believes free cash flow provided investors and other users useful information in evaluating the Company's liquidity and it provides an indication of the long-term cash generating ability of the business.

In addition, the Company also uses the following important operating metrics to evaluate its business:

The company defines “Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)” by aggregating annualized recurring revenue related to SaaS subscription services recognized in the last month of the reporting period as well as the next 12 months of expected implementation services revenues in the last month of the reporting period. We believe ARR provides important information about our future revenue potential, our ability to acquire new clients, and our ability to maintain and expand our relationship with existing clients.

The company defines “Registered Users” as an individual or business related to an account holder of an FI client on our digital banking platform and has access as of the last day of the reporting period presented. We exclude individuals or businesses that solely use the products and services of our acquisitions. We price our digital banking platform based on the number of registered users, so as the number of registered users of our digital banking platform increases, our ARR grows. We believe growth in the number of registered users provides important information about our ability to expand market adoption of our digital banking platform and its associated software products, and therefore to grow revenues over time.

The company defines “Revenue per Registered User (RPU)” by dividing ARR for the reporting period by the number of registered users as of the last day of the reporting period. We believe RPU provides important information about our ability to grow the number of software products adopted by new clients over time, as well as our ability to expand the number of software products that our existing clients add to their contracts with us over time.

The company does not provide a reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP net loss because certain significant information required for such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts, including benefit from/provision for income taxes, gain/loss on financial instruments, stock-based compensation expense, and acquisition-related expenses, net, all of which may be significant.

2 © A lk am i T ec h n o lo gy , I n c. This presentation contains “forward-looking” statements relating to Alkami Technology, Inc.’s strategy, goals, future focus areas, and expected, possible or assumed future results, including its future cash flows and its financial outlook. These forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and may be identified by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may materially affect such forward-looking statements include: Our limited operating history and history of operating losses; our ability to manage future growth; our ability to attract new clients and retain and expand existing clients’ use of our solutions; the unpredictable and time-consuming nature of our sales cycles; our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our brand; our ability to accurately predict the long-term rate of client subscription renewals or adoption of our solutions; our reliance on third-party software, content and services; our ability to effectively integrate our solutions with other systems used by our clients; intense competition in our industry; any downturn, consolidation or decrease in technology spend in the financial services industry, including as a result of recent closures of certain financial institutions and liquidity concerns at other financial institutions; our ability and the ability of third parties on which we rely to prevent and identify breaches of security measures (including cybersecurity) and resulting disruptions of our systems or operations and unauthorized access to client customer and other data; our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies or businesses; our ability to comply with regulatory and legal requirements and developments; our ability to attract and retain key employees; the political, economic and competitive conditions in the markets and jurisdictions where we operate; our ability to maintain, develop and protect our intellectual property; our ability to respond to evolving technological requirements to develop or acquire new and enhanced products that achieve market acceptance in a timely manner; our ability to estimate our expenses, future revenues, capital requirements, our needs for additional financing and our ability to obtain additional capital and other factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. However, the company believes that, in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial, operational and strategic trends, it may be helpful for investors to exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring items when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in both frequency and impact on continuing operations. These non-GAAP financial measures provide the company with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in its ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that Alkami believes might otherwise make comparisons of its ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts, or obscure the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of certain business strategies and management incentive structures. In addition, the company also believes that investors and financial analysts find this information to be helpful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors.
