Analysis · QTWO · Technology
Q3 revenue of $225.8M and adjusted EBITDA of $67.8M landed above the high end of guidance, with a record 30% adjusted EBITDA margin and $55.0M of quarterly free cash flow. Management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $888-892M and adjusted EBITDA to $253-256M, lifting the earnings base the market is valuing. The governance change is the second story: CFO Jonathan Price becomes Co-CEO alongside Matt Flake effective October 29, 2026, and joins the Board, while the company searches for a new CFO — a dual-CEO structure that leaves the finance seat open. Buybacks continue ($38.8M in Q3 at ~$61.27 average, $336.1M left), and the balance sheet is debt-free after the $304.0M convertible note repayment.
