Thanks, Ryan. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. For those less familiar with MyTech, we provide the verification, authentication, and fraud decisioning infrastructure that high-assurance institutions rely on to onboard customers, authenticate users and transactions, and in essence, to protect what's real across digital interactions. Turning to our results, we delivered a strong fiscal first quarter and are raising our outlook as early execution against our unify and grow ethos continues to take hold in fiscal 26. And with that as context, there are several key takeaways from this past quarter. First, generative AI is accelerating synthetic fraud globally, driving a growing need for our solutions. Second, fraud and identity revenue grew 30% year over year. Third, SAS revenue grew 21% year over year, representing 43% of last 12 months revenue. Fourth, check verification continues to be stable with 1.2 billion transactions annually. Fifth, we simplified the balance sheet by paying off our convertible notes and today announced a new $50 million share repurchase program. And finally, our unify and grow ethos is taking hold. One MyTech is working. The last quarter I outlined our unify and grow operating ethos for 2026. The key elements of this plan are to fortify and unify our business and invest in key areas to accelerate growth. I'll touch briefly on how we're executing against each of the four pillars that I outlined last quarter, starting with fortifying check verification. Our check verification portfolio continues to serve as a critical and convenient infrastructure for our customers. During the quarter, we sustained an annual run rate of approximately 1.2 billion mobile deposit transactions, while last 12 months' revenue remained stable at approximately $91 Even though the broader check market continues its gradual, secular decline, mobile deposit volumes have remained resilient, reflecting deeper penetration as well as the embedded mission-critical role these workflows play across financial institutions. Check verification renewal activity and expansions were solid and came in at the high end of of our expectations for the quarter. Overall, we are encouraged by the outperformance in check verification and its continued role as a durable cash generative foundation for the business. The longstanding relationships in this portfolio continue to open doors for broader senior level fraud and identity conversations with partners and processors that historically engage with my tech primarily through check verification. Now, turning to our second pillar, which is unifying and scaling our fraud and identity portfolio, which now represents a majority of the business. As fraud accelerates its march towards being democratized as a result of generative AI and attackers become more sophisticated, customers are moving away from siloed point in time verification towards more continuous signal rich decisioning. In response, we are going to market as one MyTech with unified workflows that combine documents, biometrics, wideness, and data insights into a single platform experience. Our first quarter results reflect solid progress in executing against that strategy. During the quarter, transaction volumes experienced attractive growth levels as customers responded to the increase in fraud and activity. As fraud becomes more democratized and easier to execute at scale, customers are routing more transactions through our solutions to detect, assess, and mitigate risk in real This reflects two structural dynamics taking hold across our platform. First, customers are running more journeys across more use cases. Existing customers are extending beyond onboarding into authentication and other in-life workflows, those, while new customers are coming to MyTech specifically for those journeys. Because authentication and in-life verification are persistent needs rather than one-time events, they apply across a much broader set of industries than onboarding alone, expanding the relevance of our platform beyond traditional financial services. Now, second, we're seeing more transactions per journey as we continue to add additional capabilities data sources and third party checks alongside our proprietary technologies each journey becomes richer more secure and more valuable to the customer that increased richness drives higher value capture per journey for us as customers rely on my tech for more of the decisioning within a single workflow importantly the momentum we're seeing is broad based across geographies and customer segments, reflecting platform-led adoption rather than reliance on any single customer, product, or use case. In North America, performance is driven by large enterprise renewals and targeted expansions, including a new platform entry point at a top five financial institution with clear expansion potential. In EMEA, we made tangible progress migrating several legacy customers onto MyVIP in Spain, Again, enabling new digital channel use cases in supporting expansion across various industries beyond core banking use cases, including telecommunications, insurance, mobility, and payments. Taken together, these wins reinforce two important themes. First, growth is increasingly being driven by more journeys and more transactions per journey rather than isolated point solutions or pricing changes. Second, MyVIP-led journeys are continuing to deliver higher gross profit per journey as richer, more secure workflows create greater value for our customers and improved economics as the platform scales. Now alongside this momentum, Check Fraud Defender continued to scale as a core component of our broader fraud and identity portfolio. While our identity solutions focus on verifying and re-verifying who a customer is across the lifecycle, Check Fraud Defender addresses a complementary problem, preventing payment fraud through consortium-based network intelligence. During the quarter, we continue to expand participation across the consortium, with new institutions joining and existing participants deepening their engagement. As a result, annualized contract value across check flow defender now stands at approximately 17 million, up 44% year over year, reflecting continued momentum and growing confidence in the value of the network. Datasets compiled in the consortium now cover in excess of 50% of US checking accounts, including institutions in production and active pilots representing billions in transactions annually. As coverage expands, detection accuracy and loss prevention outcomes continue to improve, reinforcing the network effects that underpin the model and strengthening the value proposition for all participants. Each transaction contributes behavioral and payment-related signals that enhance the intelligence of the platform over time, allowing risk models to continuously continuously improve as scale increases. We believe this growing data asset will represent a durable competitive advantage that is extremely difficult to replicate through point solutions or isolated on premise deployments. Taken together, our Check Fraud Defender product continues to scale as intended, expanding coverage, strengthening network effects, and delivering increasingly differentiated fraud prevention outcomes as participation grows. Now, progress across fraud and identity would not be possible without deliberate, targeted investment, which brings me to our third pillar, which is investing where we believe we can lead and differentiate. Our investments continue to be focused on innovation and strengthening the core of the platform and extending its capabilities in areas that matter most to customers and can create competitive advantages. During the quarter, investments included targeted work to improve platform infrastructure, automation, and model performance, as well as continued expansion of capabilities within MyVIP and our fraud solutions. The objective is to deliver more accurate insights and decisions while improving scalability and operating leverage over time. Equally important, we're investing in the organization itself. During the quarter, we reallocated resources towards higher value initiatives, upgraded key skill sets across product, engineering, and go to market, and sharpened accountability to improve execution, speed, and consistency. I feel good about the team's progress, and we all recognize that we must continue to execute to capitalize on the growing opportunity in front of us. I want to turn now to our fourth and final pillar, which is discipline capital allocation. Execution and investment discipline ultimately show up in how capital is deployed. As we scale the platform and advance, unify, and grow, we are focused on ensuring that operational progress is matched by a strong balance sheet and deliberate capital deployment. At a high level, our approach is simple. We protect financial flexibility, we invest in high ROI organic opportunities aligned with our roadmap, and we return excess capital to shareholders, all with an eye towards maximizing shareholder value. We've also taken deliberate actions to strengthen flexibility and simplify the balance sheet, including the retirement of our convertible senior notes. With that behind us, today we also announced a new $50 million share repurchase authorization. This quarter reflects the operating cadence that we've been building towards, which is discipline execution, hitting singles and doubles and compounding progress as data participation and customer engagement reinforce one another across the platform, essentially creating a durable flywheel or network effect grounded in trust, long standing customer relationships, improving performance and highly regulated mission critical environments. As AI lowers the cost of writing code and accelerates the pace and sophistication of fraud, these attributes become more valuable for us. Our customers are not simply buying software features, they are buying real-time risk mitigation and reduction, regulatory confidence, and a trusted intermediary with a long track record and regulated industries across multiple geographies. My take is uniquely positioned to aggregate signals, govern models, and continuously improve outcomes in ways that a single institution or point solution approach simply cannot. We believe this will lead to a strong competitive differentiation in business durability and ultimately translates into long-term shareholder value. Now, with all that as context, I'd like to turn the call over to Dave to walk through our financial performance for the quarter and review our updated guidance.

Thanks, Ed. I'll start with a review of our first quarter financial performance, I'll then touch on our balance sheet and recent capital allocation actions, particularly in light of the fact that we retired our $155 million convertible senior notes in full, drew $50 million on our term loan, and authorized a new $50 million share repurchase program. Finally, I'll close with our updated outlook. For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, total revenue was $44.2 million, up 19% year-over-year, driven by strength across the portfolio, led by 30% growth in fraud and identity, 21% growth in fraud and identity SAS, and overall SAS growth of 21%. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.3 million, up 69% year-over-year, representing a margin of 30% driven by revenue scale, mix, and incremental capitalized R&D. Looking at revenue by portfolio, fraud and identity revenue was $25.5 million, up 30% year-over-year, or $5.9 million. Growth was driven by $3.6 million, a fast growth led by MyVIP and CheckFraud Defender, reflecting continued transaction volume momentum and broad-based adoption across the portfolio, with the balance coming from standalone biometrics licensing, primarily from volume overages. Turning to check verification, revenue for the quarter was $18.8 million, up 6% year-over-year. On an LPM basis, check verification revenue was approximately $91 million, consistent with a year ago, with annual transaction volumes remaining broadly stable at approximately $1.2 billion, reflecting the durability of the franchise. Within the quarter, performance was driven by renewals, strong services activity, and continued conversions from check reader to check intelligence, with incremental license activity increasing late in the quarter. Non-GAF gross margin was 82%, a decline of approximately 280 basis points year over year. The majority of the decline was related to early stage tech fraud defender pilot deployments that incurred costs in the quarter ahead of associated revenue, which we expect to moderate as those pilots convert into full production. We also saw pressure from SAS and services delivery economics as we supported higher their volumes, onboarding activity, and customer implementations. Finally, revenue mix continues to impact margins as fast and services continue to represent a higher proportion of revenue. Despite this near term pressure underlying unit economics across the platform remain attractive, we continue to see more transactions per journey and and increasing gross profit dollars per journey as adoption scales, which we believe supports operating leverage on these costs as volumes mature. Total non-GAAP operating expense for the quarter was $23.2 million, improving 3% from last As revenue scale, operating expense as a percentage of revenue improved by approximately 1200 basis points to 52%. This operating leverage reflects a combination of revenue growth, the disciplined redirection of spend toward higher ROI investment, and an increase in capitalized software development consistent with the nature of the work being performed. Sales and marketing expense was $7.9 million, down from $8.7 million last year, with sales and marketing as a percentage of revenue improving by approximately 550 basis points to 18%. This improvement reflects a more focused, platform-led, go-to-market model where teams are selling the full portfolio in a more unified way across existing customers, partners, and new customer opportunities, allowing us to scale more efficiently while continuing to invest behind growth initiatives. Non-GAAP R&D expense was $7.6 million, up 6% from 7.2 million last year, with R&D as a percentage of revenue declining by approximately 215 basis points to 17%. This reduction as a percentage of revenue is fully explained by a higher proportion of development work that required capitalization in the quarter and reflects continued execution of our unify and grow strategy, including the realignment of R&D talent toward platform-level reusable capabilities that support enterprise-scale adoption. Capitalized development remains a low single-digit percentage of revenue, consistent with software peers operating in an investment phase. The full cash impact of these investments is reflected in free cash flow, which remains our key measure of underlying performance. Finally, non-GAAP GNA expense was $7.7 million down from $8.1 million last year, with GNA as a percentage of revenue improving by approximately 430 basis points to 17%. This improvement reflects continued operating discipline and simplification across core corporate functions we cited last year, including more standardized contracting and procurement, increased automation across finance and administrative workflows, tighter vendor management, and continued consolidation of internal systems. Strong fiscal Q1 revenue performance and operating leverage translated into an increase in adjusted EBITDA of 69% year-over-year, or $13.3 million, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 30%, percent, an improvement of roughly 900 basis points versus last year. Non-gap income tax expense was approximately 12 percent of pre-tax income, resulting in non-gap net income of $12.4 million and adjusted EPS of 26 cents per diluted share, representing approximately 80 percent growth year over year. Overall, first quarter results reflect continued improvement in earnings quality with revenue growth, operating leverage, and earnings per share scaling together. Free cash flow for the quarter was 6.6 million and 60.5 million on last 12 months basis, representing 102% conversion of LTM adjusted EBITDA compared to 83% last year. This elevated conversion reflects non-structural tailwinds that will moderate over time, including leading interest arbitrage prior to the repayment of our convertible notes, a step change improvement in working capital efficiency, and temporarily lower cash taxes in 2026 and 2027 following recent tax legislation. Over the longer term, we continue to view free cash flow conversion of approximately 70 to 80% of adjusted EBITDA as a more representative steady state range consistent with recurring recurring revenue software appears. Our capital allocation priorities remain disciplined and unchanged. We prioritize funding high ROI growth initiatives, maintaining balance sheet resilience, and returning excess capital to shareholders. We ended the quarter with $192 million of cash and investments and approximately $159 million of total debt, resulting in a net cash position of $33 million. Subsequent to quarter end, we retired our $155 million convertible senior notes in full and drew $50 million on our term loan. These actions were neutral to net cash, simplified the balance sheet, and extended our debt maturity profile to 2030. Turning to capital return during the first quarter, we repurchased approximately $10 $10 million of shares, which left approximately $11 million remaining under the authorization at quarter end. Since quarter end through February 4th, we repurchased an additional $7 million, leaving just over $4 million remaining under the current authorization. Given our confidence in the business and cash generation profile, today we announced a new new two-year $50 million repurchase authorization which will become effective upon completion of the current program. At current equity levels, we believe disciplined share repurchases represent an attractive use of capital and a compelling opportunity to drive long-term per share value creation. Turning to our updated fiscal 2026 outlook, we are raising our fiscal 2026 revenue guidance variance range by $2 million to $187 to $197 million, compared to our prior range of $185 to $195 million. This update reflects two distinct factors. First, we increased the lower end of the implied check verification range by $1 million, reflecting completed renewals and improved visibility into remaining fiscal year activity. Second, we increased the lower end of the fraud and identity range by $1 million and the upper end of the range by nearly $2 million, resulting in a new annual range of $102 to $107 million. This increase reflects strong first quarter execution, continued momentum into Q2 and improve visibility into deal timing and customer expansion early in the year. For the second fiscal quarter, we expect revenue to be in the range of $50 to $55 million. The variability in this range primarily reflects the timing of check verification license renewals, where revenue can shift between quarters based on closing timing rather than changes in demand or execution. Q2, typically our most active quarter for check verification, and a small number of large renewals can be recognized on a single day, resulting in wider than usual quarterly guidance range. As visibility improves through the year, we currently expect second half revenue to be more heavily weighted to fiscal Q3, driven by the timing of check verification license renewals. Turning to profitability, we are updating our fiscal 2026 adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to 29 to 32% up from our prior range of 27 to 30%. The 200 basis points increase is driven primarily by a higher level of capitalized software development than we assumed when we set guidance in December. Following a complete quarter of execution, we now have greater confidence that a larger portion of our development activity requires capitalization. Importantly, on a cash basis, total R&D spend is higher year-over-year, reflecting our investment roadmap, and these costs are fully reflected in free cash flow. From a cash flow and modeling perspective, we expect capital expenditures to be approximately 3% of revenue and depreciation and amortization to be approximately 1% of revenue, and reflecting increased capitalization of R&D and an overall increase in cash R&D investment year over year. We continue to expect gross margins to remain in the low 80% range with operating expenses stepping up sequentially through the year as we invest behind our growth initiatives. More broadly, these outcomes reflect continued progress under our unify and grow ethos as the organization operates more cohesively as one my tech execution across the platform is becoming more consistent investments are increasingly aligned to scale capabilities and that discipline is increasingly showing up in growth margins and free cash flow with that operator we are ready to take questions thank you so much ladies and gentlemen will now begin the question and answer session should you have a question please press the star followed by the one on your

touchtone phone you'll hear a prompt that your hand has been raised should you wish to decline from the polling process please press the star followed by the cue if you are using a speaker phone please lift a handset before pressing any keys one moment please for your first question Your first question comes from Alan with Maxim Group. Alan, please go.

Yes. Hi. Good evening. For your Broad and Identity segment, can you discuss a little the competitive environment and why you think you're winning and in what cases would you maybe be losing?

Well, good afternoon, Alan, thanks for the question. So the way we see the environment, frankly, through the tight relationships that we have with many institutions around the world, the environment is growing and the need for growing driven by AI, generative AI and the synthetic fraud that's accelerating and frankly, all applications that we see you know across the board that's creating more demand more need and I think we're pretty well situated because of our broad platform the capabilities going back to to to our heritage as well as the capabilities around biometrics the liveness to detect synthetic fraud deep fake detection and other risk elements and we're increasingly combining other data the elements in this to make it a data-rich experience and detection and assessment for our customers. And I think that's also unique in the market when you combine it with our heritage with high assurance businesses like financial institutions. That becomes a smaller and smaller group that, you know, in the market, and so we feel good about the position, and as I mentioned in my talks, the durability of the business by adding more and more data into the business, and the more customers that come in, the richer the environment becomes, and it's that network effect, and it offers richer signals. So again, we look forward to that and continue to build and grow.

Okay, great. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Alan.

All right. Your next call comes from Jake. Jake, please go ahead with William Bliss.

Hi, this is Jacob Zerbevon for Jake Rovers, and congrats on the solid quarter. I wanted to ask, great to see the check verification business continuing to do well. I guess from a growth perspective, how are you thinking about the pricing lever for growth over the longer term? And then I have one follow-up after that.

So, let's step back. Thank you, Jacob. And we were very pleased with the outcome from this past quarter, so I've mentioned my comments around renewals and expansions coming in at the high end of expectations. You know, the pricing, you know, continues on. It's a very strong foundation that we have and relationships with our core partners. We're also having broad discussions around expanding, expanding in particular around fraud and identity on the market and bringing in the broader suite of solutions that we can bring forth to help support our partner's growth, which, you know, we look forward to continuing to deepen those conversations. On overall in the market, as I mentioned, you know, you know, checks continue to decline. But fortunately, our solution clearly shows us the convenience and the mission critical nature for financial institutions. And obviously, as a result, the penetration continues to deepen, and we still see stable activity with, with nominal, you know, nominal up pricings.

Got it. Thanks. And then you talk a lot about the linking between fraud and identity. You called it out over the past couple of calls. Can you talk a little bit about what you're doing from a go-to-market perspective to help drive that value for customers?

Absolutely. It is because of the growing need, and it's why it was so important as we announced this past quarter around our focus, around unify and grow, bringing all of our capabilities and solutions together into a single platform approach, and that also includes our go-to-market team. From a sales standpoint, we're now showing up at customers and prospects as one business bringing forward the full suite, and we see both fraud solutions as well as identity, as well as authentication capabilities, deepfake detection, all being offered in an integrated way and trained our sales team to talk more broadly against that and and also another important aspect I believe is that we've moved way up the stack within our core customers in terms of who we're talking with and meeting with at our institutions as you know head of fraud had a product you know head of the retail bank because of the mission critical nature of what we're providing not only on new customer onboarding, but ongoing customer engagement through authentication and synthetic fraud detection. So because we're bringing all this together, that has changed. We're also now been bringing in people looking at other markets, other verticals beyond the heritage financial institutions and financial services. We now have relationships in business through other partner channels who are also taking us into other verticals as well, including government, insurance, telecom, as well as our own hunters on that front as well. So a lot of investment is taken and we'll continue to invest more because of the demand that we've seen and growing.

Got it.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Your next call comes from Mike with Northland Securities. Mike, please go ahead.

Hey, thanks, guys. First question, just has there been any expansion of the sales force, like, in terms of head count or marketing budget? Just kind of curious on those two after the last question.

Yeah, I'll start off with some, and then Dave can elaborate as well. Yes, we have expanded head count. We've gone through a lot of changes, as I mentioned in the last question, in terms of consolidating the people and the training, bringing on additional hunters and capabilities as we also expand into other markets. We've brought in more on the channel partner side as well, expanding to the channel capabilities as well as SDRs and qualification and delivering leads and opportunities into the sales team. The marketing dollars, I mean, that can be jumpy from quarter to quarter, you know, up and down in terms of where we see and where we're investing.

I don't know if, Dave, if you want to talk more about what we see in the changes ahead We talked about in the last call that we would be investing in 2026 both in R&D on a whole bunch of different fronts as well as sales and marketing, specifically on GTM, go-to-market. You'll see that across the year, quarter to quarter, as we both hire Salesforce talent, but also enforce and enhance some of the programs that we have out there.

I guess, like, would you say the Salesforce is expanding headcount 5%? Can you quantify it at all?

Yeah, we haven't gone to that level of guidance detail, but we're not going to see, If you're asking, we're going to see a big spike here to start generating revenue. The answer is no. You know, Ed talked about in his prior comments in prior quarter that, you know, the unification of the sales force has created some real synergy and having everybody sell the entire portfolio is really helping. We're already seeing the results of that in the numbers, and I think that will continue. So we should get some more leverage, revenue leverage out of the existing sales force and And then putting some more talent on the team should be able to accelerate that.

Mike, it's an area where we'll continue to invest in making sure we're bringing in the skills and talent. And we're seeing the demand continuing to increase on both the direct as well as the channel side, which is why we're broadening out on both sides. But we've also been able to drive more efficiency through tighter arrangement, offsetting some of that investment.

Got it. Okay, next, you know, with Check Fraud Defender, it sounded like you guys have maybe started a couple interesting, maybe a couple larger pilots. Any more color you can provide there?

Yes, we have. With the pilots that are underway, as I mentioned, you know, one of the ways of looking at that is the data sets that have now been accumulated from all the data that's coming through. We're now seeing volume and transactions, literally in the billions of transactions that are going through on an annualized basis now. Those pilots continue to track. We're very pleased with the progress, pleased with the platform, the progress of the platform, the deepening engagement with our customers, the value that's being returned, and the size of the institutions that are now continuing to seek and potentially participate in overall into the consortium, that the more data that comes in, the more partners that come in, the more and more valuable that franchise and data asset is. So we're encouraged by the progress and enthusiastic about continuing to build it out.

Yeah, the point about increase in coverage is really important because as the coverage increases, the value per participant increases, which improves conversion and expansion economics.

Great. Yeah, 50% kind of jumped out at me. Maybe last year, is there an average life to a pilot? Like, are some of these getting to a point where they got to convert, or, you know, is that next quarter we'll hear that, or is that something over the course of 26?

You know, there's not an average life. Obviously, this is a relatively new solution and continuing to bring in more partners, and, you know, we'll keep you, you know, updated as progress ensues. Yeah, so it's – we feel good and encouraged about the progress so far. Obviously, we like them all to be quicker, but – and we'll continue to try to accelerate Sounds good.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mike.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, as a reminder, if you have a question, please press star Now it's George. It's Craig Holum. Please go ahead.

Hey, guys. This is Logan on for George. Thanks for taking the question, and congrats on another nice quarter here. Ed, when we think about, you know, what is obviously a very rapidly changing kind of environment out there when it comes to aid room fraud, synthetic fraud, things of that nature, are you seeing that creep into sales cycles at all on the fraud and identity side where, you know, maybe FIs are pushing a bit more, there's a bit more urgency to kind of bring you guys in?

Yeah, thank you, Logan, great question. If an institution's been through an attack, yes, we do see that moving potentially more quickly on it from a sales cycle standpoint. This is a comprehensive solution, bringing in a lot of different factors can take time. And frankly, what we've seen mostly is a first level of engagement and going off onto a certain part of the business. Let's just say, for example, maybe starts off at an FI and opening up digital checking accounts and then that can broaden into auto loans, broaden into mortgages and credit cards and moving into various other countries. So that's where we see that engagement continuing to broaden out and then also into fuller authentication from verification and continuing to get deeper and then bringing in other signals. And, you know, if there has been an attack or something they've experienced or vulnerability, we do see those times accelerate.

I guess on a similar note, like, are you seeing kind of more activity maybe from some of your channel partners on that side, just kind of there's more engagement from them?

Yes, there is. And bringing additional opportunities, that's where if we look at some of the channel partners who operate outside of financial services are bringing us coming into as a partner into other verticals for example government or insurance verticals which has been been been terrific in seeing opportunities and also opportunities around authentication like for example with my pass on that front and that's also in multiple countries and when we talk about with our core partners in financial services, they all recognize, and you mentioned to me, you know, the number one issue that they're hearing from their customers today is around synthetic fraud. It's one of the top topics out there, which is why, you know, we're there bringing there in full force to help support both our partners' growth and solutions for their customers.

Okay. I'll leave it there. Thanks for taking the questions.

Thank you, Logan.

There are no further questions at this time. I'll turn the call back over to Ed West.

Great. Thank you, operator. And we want to thank you for joining our quarterly progress report today and speaking for our terrific and enthusiastic employees, we all look forward to executing on the growing opportunity ahead for my tech. So thank you very much and have a great day.

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating and you may now disconnect.
