Onespan had a return on equity of 16.09% and a net margin of 27.52%. The business had revenue of $63.89 million during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $57.43 million.

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

• Q3 results exceeded expectations, with revenue up 12% to $63.9 million, subscription revenue up 16%, operating income up 12%, and gross margin improving to 76.3% from 73.6%.
• OneSpan raised its full-year 2026 outlook, including revenue to $254 million-$258 million, ARR to $197 million-$201 million, and adjusted EBITDA to $72 million-$76 million. The company also generated $16.5 million in operating cash flow and approved a quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share.
• Both business units delivered double-digit growth, while net retention improved to 105% and gross retention reached 91%. Management highlighted expansion from existing customers, including a major multi-year Digital Agreements contract, as the primary growth driver.
• OneSpan launched the DigipassONE platform and expects to release its Verify and Insights products in stages, with Verify aimed at the European digital identity wallet opportunity. Management sees these offerings as potential long-term growth drivers, although bank sales cycles mean revenue benefits may take time to materialize.
• Hardware shipments were pulled forward into Q3, so hardware revenue is expected to contribute less in Q4 even though the full-year outlook is unchanged. Digital Agreements overage revenue is also expected to decline further sequentially as a large customer transitions to a larger ratable multi-year contract.
