• Q4 revenue was $109 million (high end of guidance), up 7% YoY, with a record non‑GAAP gross margin of 33% and minimal cash utilization from operations.
• Operational metrics improved materially — stations down are now below 1%, first‑time‑right deployments exceed 95%, and customer satisfaction (CSAT) is ≥8.5, supporting retention and expansion business.
• Product and geographic catalysts — the ramp of new hardware (Flex AC and next‑gen DC) plus strong, double‑digit growth in Europe (highest revenue share since IPO) are expected to accelerate growth and lift hardware margins later this year.
• Software and network strength — ~130,000 software‑only managed ports (~30% of ports under management), 1.48 million active users (+8% YoY), and >100,000 AC ports exceeding 30% utilization in January underline recurring revenue potential and network effects.
• Balance sheet and near‑term outlook — ended the quarter with $142 million in cash after a $40M debt payment and improved FY26 net cash usage to $43M, while Q1 FY27 revenue guidance is conservative at $90–$100 million reflecting seasonality.
