Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Q4 revenue up 20% to a record $23.4 million; full-year revenue up 20% to $90.3 million
  • Q4 adjusted EBITDA up 33% to $5.9 million (margin 25% vs. 23%); full-year adjusted EBITDA up 31% to $31.0 million (margin 34% vs. 31%)
  • Q4 adjusted net income up 53% to $3.1 million ($0.21/share); full-year adjusted EPS of $1.30
  • Generated $18.2 million in free cash flow in 2025 vs. $14.4 million in 2024, with $43.6 million in cash
  • IDI billable customers grew sequentially by 169 to 10,022; 127 customers contributed over $100,000 in 2025 (vs. 96 in 2024)
  • FOREWARN added 17,809 users to end at 390,018, with over 620 REALTOR Associations contracted

Risks & pressure points

  • GAAP net income growth in Q4 was driven off a low prior-year base, with Q4 net income margin still only 12% and GAAP gross margin at 72%
  • Quarter-end sales and marketing headcount dipped due to churn of lower-performing reps; CFO described it as end-of-year ebb and flow with expected reversion in Q1
  • New payroll processor and toll authority wins contributed only minimal Q4 revenue, as contractual minimums for the processor begin in 2026
