Rhea-AI Filing Summary

OneSpan Inc. reported mixed but generally favorable results for Q4 and full year 2025. Full-year revenue was $243.2 million, flat with 2024, but subscription revenue rose 12% to $156.1 million and Annual Recurring Revenue grew 11% to $186.9 million, highlighting strength in its recurring model.

Profitability improved meaningfully: full-year operating income increased 8% to $48.4 million and net income rose to $72.9 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, from $57.1 million, or $1.46 per share. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $77.6 million. The Digital Agreements segment grew 7% to $65.5 million, while Cybersecurity revenue declined 2% to $177.7 million.

OneSpan continued returning capital, repurchasing about 1,000,000 shares for $13.1 million in 2025 and buying roughly 560,000 shares in Q4 alone. The board approved increasing the quarterly dividend from $0.12 to $0.13 per share, an 8% annualized raise to $0.52. The company agreed to acquire Build38 to strengthen mobile app protection and issued 2026 guidance calling for total revenue of $244 million to $249 million, ARR of $192 million to $196 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $64 million to $68 million.

Positive

  • Stronger profitability and EPS growth: 2025 net income rose to $72.9 million from $57.1 million, with diluted EPS increasing to $1.88 from $1.46, and Adjusted EBITDA improving to $77.6 million.
  • Healthy expansion in recurring revenue: Subscription revenue grew 12% to $156.1 million and ARR increased 11% to $186.9 million, supporting a more predictable, SaaS‑oriented business mix.
  • Shareholder returns increased: OneSpan repurchased about 1,000,000 shares for $13.1 million in 2025 and raised its quarterly dividend from $0.12 to $0.13 per share, an 8% annualized increase.
  • Strategic acquisition to bolster cybersecurity: The company entered a definitive agreement to acquire Build38 to enhance app shielding and protection against AI‑driven attacks, aiming to strengthen its Cybersecurity portfolio.

Negative

  • Limited top-line growth: Total 2025 revenue was flat year-over-year at $243.2 million, with Cybersecurity revenue declining 2% to $177.7 million despite gains in Digital Agreements.
  • Lower profitability expected in 2026: 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $64–$68 million sits below 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $77.6 million, implying margin compression as the company invests and integrates acquisitions.

Insights

Profitability and recurring revenue improved, but overall growth and 2026 margin outlook are modest.

OneSpan delivered solid 2025 profit expansion despite flat revenue. Net income rose to $72.9 million from $57.1 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $77.6 million. Recurring metrics were strong, with subscription revenue up 12% and ARR up 11% to $186.9 million, signaling healthier, more predictable cash flows.

Segment trends were mixed: Cybersecurity revenue declined 2% to $177.7 million, while Digital Agreements grew 7% to $65.5 million. This shift aligns with industry movement toward SaaS and digital workflows but means legacy hardware and related sales are a drag on headline growth. Management highlighted strong cash generation, enabling both investment and capital returns.

Capital allocation was active, with about 1,000,000 shares repurchased for $13.1 million and an 8% dividend increase to $0.52 per share annualized. The pending Build38 acquisition and 2026 guidance (revenue $244–$249 million, ARR $192–$196 million, Adjusted EBITDA $64–$68 million) point to modest top-line growth but lower margins than 2025. Subsequent disclosures may clarify integration progress and whether recurring growth can offset pressure on profitability.

Recent Business Highlights
OneSpan entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Build38, a leader in next-generation mobile application protection solutions, to enhance its app shielding product and further mitigate AI-driven attacks. The acquisition is expected to close by March.
OneSpan’s Board of Directors has approved an increase in the company’s quarterly cash dividend from $0.12 to $0.13 per common share. The increased dividend is payable on March 27, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 13, 2026. This change reflects an annualized dividend rate increase of 8% to $0.52 per share.
Changes in Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures

Effective January 1, 2025, the beginning of our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, we began including employer payroll taxes related to employee stock-based award transactions in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation for our Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussed below, which include Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share. We are excluding these payroll taxes from our non-GAAP results since they are tied to the timing and size of the vesting of the underlying stock-based awards and the price of our common stock at the time of vesting, which may vary from period to period independent of the operating performance of the Company.

Also effective January 1, 2025, we began using a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate of 20% for the purpose of determining our Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share to provide better consistency across interim reporting periods in fiscal 2025 and beyond. Given the significant growth of our Non-GAAP Net Income before income taxes in 2024, we believe this change is necessary to better reflect the performance of our business. We will continue to assess the appropriate non-GAAP tax rate on a regular basis, which could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix, or other changes to our strategy or business operations.

Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect these changes.

Financial Outlook

For the Full-Year 2026, the Company’s following expectations include the pending acquisition of Build38:
Software and services revenue to be in the range of $201 million to $204 million.
Hardware revenue to be in the range of $43 million to $45 million.
Total revenue to be in the range of $244 million to $249 million.
ARR to be in the range of $192 million to $196 million.
Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $64 million to $68 million.
Conference Call Details

____________________________________________
1ARR is calculated as the approximate annualized value of our customer recurring contracts as of the measurement date. These include subscription, term-based license, and maintenance and support contracts and exclude one-time fees. To the extent that we are negotiating a renewal with a customer within 90 days after the expiration of a recurring contract, we continue to include that revenue in ARR if we are actively in discussion with the customer for a new recurring contract or renewal and the customer has not notified us of an intention to not renew. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for additional information describing how we define ARR, including how ARR differs from GAAP revenue.
2NRR is defined as the approximate year-over-year growth in ARR from the same set of customers at the end of the prior year period.
3An explanation of the use of Non-GAAP financial measures is included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” A reconciliation of each Non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure has also been provided in the tables below. We are not providing a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because we are unable to predict certain items included in GAAP net income without unreasonable efforts.

Segment operating income (loss) consists of the revenues generated by a segment, less the direct costs of revenue, sales and marketing, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, restructuring and other related charges, and amortization of intangible assets expense that are incurred directly by a segment. Sales and marketing and research and development expenses were determined to be significant segment expenses. Unallocated corporate costs include costs related to administrative functions that are performed in a centralized manner that are not directly attributable to a particular segment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report financial results in accordance with GAAP. We also evaluate our performance using certain non-GAAP financial metrics, namely Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share. Our management believes that these measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial metrics, provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of our business, as further discussed in the descriptions of each of these non-GAAP metrics below.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives or substitutes for the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful for the purposes described below, they have limitations associated with their use, since they exclude items that may have a material impact on our reported results and may be different from similar measures used by other companies. Additional information about the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appear below.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense, restructuring and other related charges, and certain non-recurring items, including acquisition related costs, rebranding costs, and non-routine shareholder matters. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial metric. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a simplified measure of performance for use in communicating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA presents a view of our operating results that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense, restructuring costs and other related costs, and certain other non-recurring items, we are able to evaluate performance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers’ requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense, non-routine shareholder matters), deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest, one-time strategic action costs, restructuring costs, impairment charges) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). In addition, removing the impact of these items helps us compare our core business performance with that of our competitors.

(1) Includes cost of sales depreciation and amortization expense directly related to delivering cloud subscription revenue of $1.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Includes cost of sales depreciation and amortization expense directly related to delivering cloud subscription revenue of $5.6 million and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Costs are recorded in “Services and other cost of goods sold” on the consolidated statements of operations.

(2) Long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense includes share-based compensation and related payroll tax expense, and cash incentive grants awarded to employees located in jurisdictions where we do not issue share-based compensation due to tax, regulatory or similar reasons. The expense associated with these cash incentive grants is immaterial for the three months and the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Starting January 1, 2025, employer payroll taxes related to employee stock-based award transactions are included in long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect these changes. We are excluding these payroll taxes from Adjusted EBITDA results since they are tied to the timing and size of the vesting of the underlying stock-based awards and the price of our common stock at the time of vesting, which may vary from period to period independent of our operating performance. Employer payroll taxes related to employee stock-based award transactions amounted to $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Employer payroll taxes related to employee stock-based award transactions amounted to $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(3) There were no write-offs of intangible assets and property and equipment, net for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Includes write-offs of property and equipment, net of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Includes write-offs of intangible assets and property and equipment, net of $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the for the year ended December 31, 2024. Costs are recorded in "Services and other costs of good sold" and "Restructuring and other related charges," respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

(4) For the three months ended and the year ended December 31, 2025, other non-recurring items consist of $2.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, of fees related to non-recurring projects, including transaction costs related to acquisition projects. For the three months ended and the year ended December 31, 2024, other non-recurring items consist of $1.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of fees related to non-recurring projects.




Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share
We define Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share as net income or net income per diluted share, as applicable, before the consideration of long-term incentive compensation expenses, the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs, and certain other non-recurring items. We use these measures to assess the impact of our performance excluding items that can significantly impact the comparison of our results between periods and the comparison to competitor results.
We exclude long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense because our long-term incentives generally reflect the use of restricted stock unit grants or cash incentive grants, including incentives directly tied to the performance of the business, while other companies may use different forms of incentives that have different cost impacts, which makes comparison difficult. We exclude amortization of intangible assets as we believe the amount of such expense in any given period may not be correlated directly to the performance of the business operations and that such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions, the full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets, or the write down of such assets due to an impairment event. However, intangible assets contribute to current and future revenue, and related amortization expense will recur in future periods until expired or written down.
We also exclude certain non-recurring items including one-time strategic action costs and non-recurring shareholder matters, as these items are unrelated to the operations of our core business. By excluding these items, we are better able to compare the operating results of our underlying core business from one reporting period to the next.

We use a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate of 20% for the purpose of determining our Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share to provide better consistency across interim reporting periods. We will assess the appropriate non-GAAP tax rate on a regular basis, which could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix, or other changes to our strategy or business operations.

OneSpan’s 2025 subscription revenue grew 12% to $156.1 million, and Annual Recurring Revenue increased 11% to $186.9 million. These gains indicate expanding adoption of its subscription-based Cybersecurity and Digital Agreements solutions and a more predictable, recurring revenue base.

How did OneSpan’s Cybersecurity and Digital Agreements segments perform in 2025?

In 2025, Cybersecurity revenue declined 2% to $177.7 million, while Digital Agreements revenue grew 7% to $65.5 million. This shows pressure in traditional security products but continued growth in cloud-based digital agreement solutions, which support longer-term recurring revenue expansion.

OneSpan repurchased about 1,000,000 shares of its common stock for $13.1 million during 2025. The board also approved increasing the quarterly dividend from $0.12 to $0.13 per share, raising the annualized dividend rate by 8% to $0.52.

What acquisition did OneSpan announce and why is it important?

OneSpan entered a definitive agreement to acquire Build38, a provider of next-generation mobile application protection, with closing expected by March. The deal is intended to strengthen OneSpan’s app shielding capabilities and better address emerging AI-driven cyber threats within its Cybersecurity segment.

What guidance did OneSpan provide for its 2026 financial outlook?

For full-year 2026, including Build38, OneSpan expects total revenue of $244–$249 million, software and services revenue of $201–$204 million, ARR of $192–$196 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $64–$68 million, implying modest revenue growth and lower margins versus 2025.

Did OneSpan change how it calculates its non-GAAP financial measures?

Effective January 1, 2025, OneSpan began including employer payroll taxes related to stock-based awards in its GAAP-to-non-GAAP reconciliations and adopted a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate of 20%, with prior periods adjusted to improve consistency across reporting periods.
