Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Recurring revenue grew 7% and Fulfillment revenue grew 8% year-over-year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 7% to $57.9 million in Q1 2026.
  • Non-GAAP income per diluted share rose to $1.10 from $1.00 in Q1 2025.
  • Revenue recovery excluding Amazon is growing faster than the overall company, with strong cross-selling momentum at retailers like Walmart, Target, Lowe's, and Home Depot.
  • Core business excluding revenue recovery is showing improvement versus 2025 as invoice scrutiny and downsells subside, with management expecting reacceleration in the back half of 2026.
  • MAX AI agent in beta with over 400 customers, with adoption examples cited at Siete Foods and projected to protect up to 8% of revenue from stockouts.

Risks & pressure points

  • GAAP net income declined to $19.7 million ($0.53 per diluted share) from $22.2 million ($0.58) in Q1 2025.
  • Q1 results came in at the lower end of the guidance range and full-year 2026 guidance was reduced, driven by Amazon revenue recovery headwinds from policy changes.
  • Amazon 3P revenue recovery business continues to face headwinds, prompting introduction of a new subscription platform fee and expected churn among low-value customers.
  • Q2 2026 revenue guidance of $194.5–$196.5 million implies only 4% to 5% year-over-year growth.
  • Management stated transitory headwinds from tariff and macro-driven invoice scrutiny are expected to persist into Q2 2026.
  • Leadership transitions underway, including a new CFO and new Chief Commercial Officer, creating execution risk.
