Alkami Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

, /PRNewswire/ -- Alkami Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALKT) ("Alkami" or "the Company"), a leading cloud-based digital banking solutions provider for financial institutions (FIs) in the U.S., today announced results for its second quarter ending June 30, 2025. Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights GAAP total revenue of $112.1 million, an increase of 36.4% compared to the year-ago quarter; GAAP gross margin of 58.6%, compared to 59.4% in the year-ago quarter; Non-GAAP gross margin of 65.1%, compared to 63.2% in the year-ago quarter; GAAP net loss of $(13.6) million, compared to $(12.3) million in the year-ago quarter; and Adjusted EBITDA of $11.9 million, compared to $4.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Comments on the News Alex Shootman, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased to report strong financial performance for the second quarter, with revenue growth of 36% and Adjusted EBITDA of $12 million. We exited the second quarter with 20.9 million users on the Alkami platform, up 2.3 million compared to the year-ago quarter." Shootman added, "We continue to see robust demand for digital transformation among regional and community financial institutions. Most of the 250 million-plus digital users in our target market are still on legacy platforms that do not deliver the functionality and experience today's consumers demand. This is particularly evident with onboarding and account opening, and is what informed our recent acquisition of MANTL. In the second quarter alone, MANTL added 23 new clients, including three that were attached to new Alkami digital banking wins and six that were existing Alkami digital banking clients. Today we believe we deliver the best digital sales and service platform in the industry, with fully-integrated digital banking, data and marketing, and onboarding and account opening." Bryan Hill, Chief Financial Officer, said, "We exited the second quarter with annual recurring revenue of $424 million, up 32%, and revenue per registered user of $20.28, up 17% compared to the year-ago quarter. We also outperformed our Adjusted EBITDA target by over 25%, demonstrating the significant progress we have made in scaling the business." 2025 Financial Outlook The following statements are forward-looking, and actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business MetricsThe 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 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 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) loss on financial instruments, (2) amortization, (3) stock-based compensation expense, (4) acquisition-related expenses, and (5) loss on impairment of intangible assets. 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) loss on financial instruments, (3) interest expense (income), net, (4) depreciation and amortization (5) stock-based compensation expense, (6) acquisition-related expenses, and (7) loss on impairment of intangible assets. 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. 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.
