N-able swings to $4.4M loss in Q3 2026 earnings
Third-quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA exceeded management's guidance, but the results remain preliminary pending final review.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) financial
"Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and ARR on a Constant Currency Basis"
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the predictable amount of money a company expects to earn in a year from its ongoing services or subscriptions. It helps businesses understand their steady income stream, much like knowing how much rent they can count on each year, which is important for planning and growth.
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Non-GAAP Revenue on a Constant Currency Basis financial
"Non-GAAP Revenue on a Constant Currency Basis"
Unlevered Free Cash Flow financial
"Unlevered Free Cash Flow"
Unlevered free cash flow is the cash a company generates from its core business after paying operating costs and reinvesting in the business, but before any interest or debt repayments. It shows how much cash would be available to all providers of capital—owners and lenders alike—and helps investors compare underlying business performance and value companies without the distortion of different debt levels, like judging a car’s fuel efficiency before adding cargo weight.
Non-GAAP Net Income financial
"Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share"
Non-GAAP net income is a company's profit figure that excludes certain costs or income that are included in standard accounting methods. Companies often use it to show what their earnings might look like without one-time expenses or other unusual items, helping investors see the company's core performance more clearly.

Financial Outlook
As of November 5, 2026, N-able is providing its financial outlook for the fourth quarter of 2026 and its updated financial outlook for full-year 2026.

All information provided in this press release is as of the date hereof and N-able undertakes no duty to update this information except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance our understanding, and aid in the period-to-period comparison, of our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information that is meaningful when assessing our operating performance because they exclude the impact of certain amounts that our management and board of directors do not consider part of core operating results when assessing our operational performance, allocating resources, preparing annual budgets and determining compensation. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may provide insight to investors into the motivation and decision-making of management in operating the business. Non-GAAP financial measures presented for prior periods are
derived from, and reflect, the revised GAAP amounts described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
N-able also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are used by investors and securities analysts to (a) compare and evaluate its performance from period to period and (b) compare its performance to those of its competitors. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing and accounting methods, the book value of their assets, their capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired.
As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, their most comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Certain items that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on operating and net income.
N-able's management and board of directors compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure. Set forth in the tables below are the corresponding GAAP financial measures for each non-GAAP financial measure presented. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures that are set forth in the tables below.
Definitions of Non-GAAP and Other Metrics
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and ARR on a Constant Currency Basis. We calculate ARR by annualizing the recurring revenue and related usage revenue inclusive of discounts, excluding the impacts of credits and reserves, recognized during the last day of the reporting period from both long-term and month-to-month subscriptions. We believe ARR enhances the understanding of our business performance and the growth of our relationships with our customers. ARR on a constant currency basis is calculated in the same manner as ARR, but using constant currency exchange rates by applying the prior period’s foreign currency-denominated ARR, in order to eliminate the effects of foreign currency fluctuations.
Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin. We provide non-GAAP total cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expense and non-GAAP operating income and related non-GAAP gross and operating margins excluding such items as stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, transaction related costs, spin-off costs, IP transfer costs, retention bonuses and restructuring costs and other. We define non-GAAP gross and operating margins as non-GAAP gross profit and operating income, respectively, divided by total revenue. Management believes these measures are useful for the following reasons:
•Stock-Based Compensation Expense and Related Employer-Paid Payroll Taxes. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes associated with our employees’ participation in N-able's stock-based incentive compensation plans. We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. Employer-paid payroll taxes on stock-based compensation is dependent on our stock price and the timing of the taxable events related to the equity awards, over which our management has little control, and does not necessarily correlate to the core operation of our business. Because of these unique characteristics of stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes, management excludes these expenses when analyzing the organization’s business performance.
•Amortization of Acquired Technologies and Intangible Assets. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes expenses related to purchased technologies and intangible assets associated with our acquisitions. We believe that eliminating this expense from our non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because the amortization of acquired technologies and intangible assets can be inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisition transactions, which also vary in frequency from period to period. Accordingly, we analyze the performance of our operations in each period without regard to such expenses.
•Transaction Related Costs. We exclude certain expense items resulting from proposed and completed acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, costs related to integrating the acquired businesses, deferred compensation, severance and retention expense. We consider these adjustments, to some extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside of our control. Furthermore, such proposed and completed transactions result in operating
expenses that would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our organic business operations. We believe that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude transaction related costs allows investors to better review and understand the historical and current results of our continuing operations and also facilitates comparisons to our historical results and results of peer companies with different transaction related activities, both with and without such adjustments.
•Spin-off Costs. We exclude certain expense items resulting from the spin-off into a newly created and separately traded public company. These costs include legal, accounting and advisory fees, system implementation costs and other incremental costs incurred by us related to the separation from SolarWinds. The spin-off transaction results in operating expenses that would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our organic business operations. We believe that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude these costs facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.
•IP Transfer Costs. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes costs incurred in connection with the intercompany transfer of certain intellectual property rights to better align our intellectual property ownership with its business operations, consisting primarily of third-party legal and tax advisory and valuation fees. These costs are directly attributable to the transfer of these rights, would not have been incurred absent the transfers, and are not part of our ongoing operations. These costs are inconsistent in amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these transactions. Therefore, although we may incur these types of expenses in the future, we believe that eliminating these costs for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance. The income tax effects of these transfers are recorded in income tax expense and are not included in this adjustment.
•Retention Bonuses. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes cash retention bonuses awarded in connection with our July 2026 workforce reorganization to a limited number of employees whose continued service is critical to completing the July 2026 workforce reorganization, including the transition of responsibilities from eliminated roles. These bonuses were approved as part of the reorganization plan, are payable only if the employee remains employed through the end of the applicable retention agreement, and are separate from, and in addition to, our annual bonus, merit increase, and equity award programs. We would not have awarded these bonuses absent the reorganization, the related expense is limited to the defined retention period, and we do not intend to offer similar bonuses as part of our ongoing compensation practices. We believe that excluding these costs facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance. Retention costs related to acquisitions continue to be included in transaction-related costs.
•Restructuring Costs and Other. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes restructuring costs and other which consist of severance and related employee benefit costs and the estimated costs of exiting and terminating facility lease commitments incurred in connection with restructuring plans approved by management, including our July 2026 workforce reorganization, as well as certain other costs related to our corporate restructuring activities that are not directly attributable to a restructuring plan. These restructuring costs are directly attributable to specific restructuring actions and would not have been incurred absent those actions. These costs are inconsistent in amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events. Therefore, although we may incur these types of expenses in the future, we believe that eliminating these costs for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share. We believe that the use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share is helpful to our investors to clarify and enhance their understanding of past performance and future prospects. Non-GAAP net income is calculated as net income excluding the adjustments to non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP operating income, interest on deferred consideration, the income tax effect of the non-GAAP exclusions, and the tax effect of IP transfers. Interest on deferred consideration represents interest expense recognized on the time-based portion of the deferred consideration related to our acquisition of Adlumin. The tax effect of IP transfers represents the income tax expense recognized in connection with the intercompany transfer of certain intellectual property rights described above under IP Transfer Costs. We define non-GAAP net income per diluted share as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted average diluted outstanding common shares.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. We regularly monitor adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, as they are measures we use to assess our operating performance. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets and developed technology, depreciation expense, income tax expense, interest expense, net, unrealized foreign currency losses (gains), transaction related costs, spin-off costs, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes, IP transfer costs, retention bonuses and restructuring costs and other. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Transaction related costs, spin-off costs, stock-
based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes, IP transfer costs, retention bonuses and restructuring costs and other are described under Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin above. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include: although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Non-GAAP Revenue on a Constant Currency Basis. We provide non-GAAP revenue on a constant currency basis to provide a framework for assessing our performance excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current period results for revenue contracts denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars are converted into U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding prior period presented. We believe that providing non-GAAP revenue on a constant currency basis facilitates the comparison of non-GAAP revenue to prior periods.
Unlevered Free Cash Flow. Unlevered free cash flow is a measure of our liquidity used by management to evaluate cash flow from operations, after the deduction of capital expenditures and prior to the impact of our capital structure, transaction related costs, restructuring costs, spin-off costs, employer-paid payroll taxes on stock awards and certain one-time items, that can be used by us for strategic opportunities and strengthening our balance sheet. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and purchases of intangible assets and other. However, given our debt obligations, unlevered free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenses. Effective July 1, 2025, we have removed from our computation of unlevered free cash flow non-cash items generally relating to cash paid for transaction related costs, restructuring costs, spin-off costs, employer-paid payroll taxes on stock awards and other one-time items. Unlevered free cash flow for all prior periods presented has been revised to the current period computation.
