Summary
Bridgeline Digital reported record sales for its HawkSearch AI eCommerce platform in Q4 and fiscal 2026. The company added 12 new customers in Q4 (up from 9 in Q3) with $1.4M TCV and $400K ARR, and 38 new customers for the full year with $3.9M TCV and $1.2M ARR. ARPU rose 53% quarter-over-quarter and 35% year-over-year. Core products are expected to represent 61% of total revenue and 64% of subscription revenue for fiscal 2026, with HawkSearch accounting for 89% of all sales. The company ended the year with approximately $1.0M in cash and less than $200K in legacy bank debt. This follows the Q3 10-Q filed in August, which showed flat revenue of $3.9M and a narrowing net loss; the new sales metrics indicate accelerating momentum in the core AI platform. The record customer acquisition and ARPU growth suggest improving unit economics, though the company's cash position remains tight relative to its $11M market cap.
