AvePoint (NASDAQ:AVPT) Posts Earnings Results, Misses Expectations By $0.01 EPS

AvePoint (NASDAQ:AVPT) posted its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The company reported $0.07 EPS for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.08 by ($0.01), FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $117.24 million during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $116.43 million. AvePoint had a net margin of 10.55% and a return on equity of 10.38%.

Here are the key takeaways from AvePoint’s conference call:

• Q1 results beat guidance with $117.2M revenue (26% YoY), $93.4M SaaS (35% YoY), ARR of $435.2M (+26% YoY), strong margin expansion and $444M cash, while management accelerated share repurchases (~$78.5M year-to-date).
• AvePoint is positioning itself as the enterprise “trust layer” for AI — highlighting product wins like Agent Pulse, a new AI-agent risk definition, expanded Google Cloud and multi‑SaaS protection, and a Gartner validation that bolsters its competitive differentiation.
• A higher-than-expected SaaS mix (ratable revenue) and continued FX headwinds reduced near-term reported revenue growth, which is why revenue guidance wasn’t raised despite an ARR increase.
• Channel-led land-and-expand momentum is strong: 863 customers with >$100k ARR (+25% YoY), 88% recurring revenue, ~58% ARR through the channel, and management says Control Suite now represents a large share of pipeline.
• Retention and product-mix risks persist — Q1 gross retention was ~89% (adjusted) with migration products acting as a ~2-point headwind to GRR, and FX/currency fluctuations remain an ongoing headwind.
