Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Q4 revenue grew 22% YoY to $248 million and full-year revenue grew 20% YoY to $951 million.
  • Q4 non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 24.9% from 20.2% a year ago.
  • Units on platform grew 8% YoY to 9.4 million, with over 500,000 net units added in H2 2025.
  • Adoption of premium tiers (Plus and Max) exceeded 25%.
  • 98% of customers actively using one or more AI capabilities, vs. ~50% of AI users in the industry who cannot rely on their PMS AI features.
  • Q4 net cash provided by operating activities was $65 million (26.2% of revenue) vs. $37 million (18.0%) in Q4 2024; full-year 2026 revenue guided to $1.10–$1.12B with non-GAAP operating margin of 25.5%–27.5%.

Risks & pressure points

  • Full-year 2025 non-GAAP operating margin was 24.7%, down from 25.2% in 2024, partly due to a $15 million (1.6% of revenue) Corporate Incentive Plan over-attainment charge.
  • Full-year 2025 GAAP operating income was $153 million (16.1% of revenue), down from $136 million (17.1%) in 2024 on a margin basis.
  • Cost of revenue rose to 36% of revenue in 2025 from 35% in 2024, driven by payments mix and additional data center spend for AI.
  • Industry survey highlights a persistent performance gap, with rising operating costs and occupancy pressure tempering otherwise positive manager sentiment.
