-
Achieved fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, driven by strong execution in North America and continued scaling of the Cybersecurity as a Service (SECaaS) business.
-
North America revenue share increased to 31% from 17% year-over-year, fueled by high-capacity Tera III platform sales and steady demand for smart network intelligence products.
-
SECaaS revenue grew 47% year-over-year, now accounting for over one-third of total revenue and significantly improving long-term predictability through recurring subscription fees.
-
Successfully executed a 'land and expand' strategy in EMEA, securing four new SECaaS deals including the first sale of a new identity monitoring service to an existing customer.
-
The Tera III platform is driving a multi-year refresh cycle as Tier 1 operators consolidate network visibility, traffic management, and cybersecurity onto a single high-capacity gateway.
-
Operational efficiency improved as operating expenses as a percentage of revenue declined to 62% from 68%, despite increased investments in sales and marketing.
Outlook and Strategic Priorities
-
Raised 2026 revenue guidance to $115 million–$118 million based on accelerating order momentum in North America and a robust existing backlog.
-
Expect SECaaS revenue growth of 40% or more for the full year 2026, supported by four distinct growth vectors: user onboarding, segment expansion, new applications, and new logos.
-
Anticipate continued profitability and cash flow improvements through the remainder of 2026, maintaining a target gross margin of approximately 70%.
-
Visibility into 2027 is bolstered by long-term deferred revenue and multi-year Tera III upgrade projects that are currently advancing through the sales pipeline.
-
Capital allocation strategy now includes a $40 million share repurchase program, reflecting confidence in the company's $107 million cash position and debt-free balance sheet.
Operational and Financial Context
-
Recorded a one-time $1.2 million GAAP financial gain related to an office lease modification, which management explicitly stated is not expected to recur.
-
Gross margin of 71.8% reflected a slight year-over-year decline due to product mix, specifically the higher concentration of hardware-heavy smart product sales in the quarter.
-
Operating cash flow of $8.5 million was driven by robust profitability and strong collections, though it normalized following a one-time cash advancement in the prior quarter.
-
Identified a significant opportunity in 'zero rating' fraud mitigation, with a case study showing an 87% reduction in fraudulent traffic for a Tier 1 operator.

Sustainability of North American growth and product mix
-
Management attributed the regional surge to both predictable SECaaS subscriptions and large, non-recurring Tera III platform sales.
-
While product sales fluctuate quarterly, the high-capacity requirements of 5G and fiber upgrades provide a sustainable long-term pipeline for the Tera III platform.
Drivers of SECaaS ARR acceleration in second half
-
Growth is expected to step up due to existing partners expanding services into new domains (like SMB) and adding new applications like identity theft monitoring.
-
Management noted that while the run rate is stable, timing depends on the execution of marketing campaigns by communication service provider (CSP) partners.
Strategic rationale for the $40 million share buyback
-
The program was initiated due to seven consecutive quarters of positive cash flow and a strong balance sheet that allows for simultaneous investment in organic growth and M&A.
-
Management views the buyback as a 'vote of confidence' and a tool to be used opportunistically based on market conditions.
