Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Upland Software reported first quarter 2026 revenue of $48.7 million, down 24% from $63.7 million a year earlier, mainly because it sold businesses in 2025. Subscription and support revenue fell 23% to $46.1 million.

Despite lower revenue, profitability improved sharply. GAAP net loss narrowed to $1.2 million from $25.8 million, and net loss per share to $0.09 from $0.97. Adjusted EBITDA was $12.7 million, or 26% of revenue, versus $13.1 million and a 21% margin. Free cash flow was $5.5 million, and cash on hand was $29.8 million at quarter end.

For 2026, the company expects total revenue between $192.5 million and $201.5 million, about a 9% decline at the midpoint, primarily from prior divestitures, and full-year Adjusted EBITDA between $51.7 million and $56.3 million with a 27% margin midpoint.

Positive

  • Large improvement in GAAP loss: Net loss narrowed to $1.2M from $25.8M year over year, with loss per share improving to $0.09 from $0.97.
  • Solid profitability and cash generation: Q1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA was $12.7M with a 26% margin, and free cash flow reached $5.5M, indicating a cash-generative, higher-margin profile.

Negative

  • Material revenue decline: Total revenue fell 24% year over year to $48.7M, and management guides to about a 9% revenue decline for full-year 2026, reflecting a smaller top-line base.
  • Higher interest burden and continued leverage: Net interest expense rose to $4.5M in Q1 2026, and notes payable totaled about $227.7M, contributing to ongoing stockholders’ deficit.

Insights

Revenue shrank on divestitures, but losses narrowed and margins held up.

Upland Software saw Q1 2026 revenue fall 24% to $48.7M, largely because of businesses sold in 2025. Subscription revenue, the core of the model, declined 23% to $46.1M, so the company is operating at a smaller scale than a year ago.

Profitability metrics improved meaningfully. GAAP net loss dropped to $1.2M from $25.8M, and Adjusted EBITDA was $12.7M, or 26% margin, up from a 21% margin. Free cash flow of $5.5M and quarter-end cash of $29.8M indicate the business is generating cash despite revenue contraction.

Guidance for full-year 2026 calls for revenue of $192.5M–$201.5M, roughly a 9% decline at the midpoint, and Adjusted EBITDA of $51.7M–$56.3M with a 27% margin. Actual results will depend on execution within the streamlined portfolio and maintaining current margin levels through 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA was $12.7 million, or 26% of total revenue"
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.
Free Cash Flow financial
"Free cash flow was $5.5 million, compared to free cash flow of $7.9 million"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Core Organic Growth Rate financial
"we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss)... Core Organic Growth Rate, and Free Cash Flow"
Net Dollar Retention Rate financial
"Upland defines Net Dollar Retention Rate as the aggregate annualized recurring revenue at the end of a twelve-month period"
Net dollar retention rate measures how much revenue a company keeps from its existing customers over a set period after accounting for additional sales to them, reduced spending, and customers who leave. It matters to investors because it shows whether a company’s customer base is growing in value or shrinking—like checking whether the same garden produces more or fewer fruits over time—which signals the health and sustainability of recurring revenue.
Sunset Assets financial
"a limited number of non-strategic customer contracts (collectively referred to as “Sunset Assets”)"
Net Leverage financial
"Upland defines Net Leverage as Net Debt divided by trailing 4 quarters Adjusted EBITDA"
Net leverage measures how many years it would take for a company to pay off its outstanding debt using its annual operating cash flow, after subtracting cash on hand from total debt. Think of it like a household’s mortgage balance minus savings divided by yearly income; a lower number means the company is in a safer position to handle debt, while a higher number signals greater financial risk and potential pressure on profits or growth.
Total revenue $48.7M -24% YoY
Subscription & support revenue $46.1M -23% YoY
GAAP net loss $1.2M Improved from $25.8M loss YoY
Adjusted EBITDA margin 26% Up from 21% YoY
Guidance

For 2026, revenue is guided to $192.5M–$201.5M (about 9% decline at midpoint) and Adjusted EBITDA to $51.7M–$56.3M with a 27% margin at midpoint.

GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $2.7 million compared to GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $27.3 million in the first quarter of 2025.

"I am excited to be joining Upland as CEO, and we delivered a solid Q1 — beating our guidance midpoints for total revenue, recurring revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA, while also generating strong free cash flow," said Sean Nathaniel, Upland's Chief Executive Officer. "Our AI-powered knowledge and content management solutions serve as a core intelligence layer for the agentic enterprise, enabling customers to unlock the full value of their knowledge, content, and data as they scale AI and agent-driven operating models."

First Quarter Business Highlights
We welcomed 107 new customers to Upland in the first quarter, including 7 new major customers. We also expanded relationships with 189 existing customers, 16 of which were major expansions.
We earned 42 badges in G2’s Spring 2026 market reports, showcasing impactful results and customer value delivered through its products. Upland Panviva and Upland RightAnswers, our leading AI-powered knowledge management solutions, secured many recognitions this season. Upland BA Insight, an AI enablement solution, continued to earn noteworthy badges, while AI-enabled cloud fax service, Upland InterFAX, also received many accolades.



We announced the new Upland BA Insight Platform – incorporating the product's SmartHub, ConnectivityHub, AutoClassifier, Smart Preview, and Connectors – delivering search experiences that are more connected, more contextual, and more actionable. This launch reinforces our goal of empowering complex organizations with smarter, more integrated search capabilities for both traditional enterprise and next-generation AI environments.
We launched AI Conversational Search for Upland Panviva Sidekick, a browser-based assistant that transforms how enterprises retrieve knowledge. By combining natural language processing with trusted organizational data, this release solves the critical challenge of balancing AI efficiency with strict regulatory compliance.

Designed for publishers, media companies, and news organizations, the Text‑to‑Vote capability enables users to boost audience participation, streamline mobile‑first voting experiences, and unlock new advertiser revenue opportunities through a frictionless SMS workflow.

Business Outlook
For the quarter ending June 30, 2026, Upland expects reported total revenue to be between $47.1 and $50.1 million, including subscription and support revenue between $45.1 and $47.7 million, for a decline in total revenue of 9% at the midpoint from the quarter ended June 30, 2025. This year-over-year revenue decline is primarily due to divestitures completed in 2025. Second quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $12.0 and $13.6 million, which at the midpoint is a decline of 6% from the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

For the full year ending December 31, 2026, Upland expects reported total revenue to be between $192.5 and $201.5 million, including subscription and support revenue between $182.7 and $190.3 million, for a decline in total revenue of 9% at the midpoint from the year ended December 31, 2025. This year-over-year revenue decline is primarily due to divestitures completed in 2025. Full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $51.7 and $56.3 million, which at the midpoint is a decline of 7% from the year ended December 31, 2025. Full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be 27% at the midpoint as compared to the 27% Adjusted EBITDA margin for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, Core Organic Growth Rate, and Free Cash Flow.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results, such as our revenues excluding the impact for foreign currency fluctuations or our operating performance excluding not only non-cash charges, but also discrete cash charges that are infrequent in nature. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the tables provided below in this release.
We are unable to reconcile any forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their directly comparable GAAP financial measures because the information which is needed to complete a reconciliation is unavailable at this time without unreasonable effort. Additionally, we are unable to quantify the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations on components of our income statement beyond revenues because the information which is needed to do so is unavailable at this time without unreasonable effort.
Upland defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, other expense (income), net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, non-recurring litigation costs, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue, loss on divestitures and impairment charges.
Upland defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus amortization of purchased intangible assets, amortization of debt discount, loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, non-recurring litigation expenses, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue, non-recurring effects of provision for income tax, loss on divestitures, impairment charges and the related tax effect of the adjustments above.
Upland defines Free Cash Flow as GAAP operating cash flow less purchases of property and equipment.
Upland defines major accounts as accounts with greater than or equal to $25,000 in annual recurring revenue.
Upland defines major expansions as existing customers who expanded the amount of annual recurring revenue under their contract by at least $25,000.
Upland defines cash gross margin as product revenue less subscription and support cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization.
Upland defines Net Dollar Retention Rate as the aggregate annualized recurring revenue at the end of a twelve-month period from those customers that were also customers at the beginning of the twelve-month



period, divided by the aggregate annualized recurring revenue value from all customers at the beginning of the twelve-month period. This measure excludes the revenue value of Overage Charges, divestitures, and our Sunset Assets upon designation.
In connection with periodic reviews of our business, we have decided to discontinue the availability of certain non-strategic product offerings and a limited number of non-strategic customer contracts (collectively referred to as “Sunset Assets”).
Overage Charges are subscription and support revenues earned in addition to contractual minimum customer commitments as a result of the usage volume of services including text and e-mail messaging and third-party pass-through costs that exceed the levels stipulated in contracts with the Company.
Upland defines Core as our ongoing business operation, excluding Sunset Assets and divestitures.
Upland defines Core Organic Growth Rate as the percentage change between two reported periods in Core Organic Revenue (subscription and support revenue, excluding subscription and support revenue from Sunset Assets, divestitures, and Overage Charges). We calculate our year-over-year Core Organic Growth Rate as though all acquisitions or divestitures closed as of the end of the latest period were closed as of the first day of the prior year period presented. Core Organic Growth Rate does not represent actual organic revenue generated by our business as it stood at the beginning of the respective period.
Upland defines Net Debt as the total amount of debt outstanding less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at a stated point in time.
Upland defines Net Leverage as Net Debt divided by trailing 4 quarters Adjusted EBITDA.
