Analysis · RNG · Technology
This was a clean beat-and-raise quarter. Subscriptions revenue of $653 million grew 6.0% and landed above the high end of guidance, non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 24.7%, and free cash flow climbed 21% to $157 million. Management raised full-year guidance for revenue, margin, EPS and free cash flow, and cut gross debt to roughly $1 billion ahead of schedule. Note that the headline GAAP EPS of $6.50 is mostly a non-cash tax item — a $544.9 million valuation allowance release — so the cleaner read is the $0.28 GAAP EPS excluding that release (up 47.4%) and $1.33 non-GAAP EPS. The board also declared a $0.125 quarterly dividend payable November 20, 2026, extending a capital-return program that includes $18 million of buybacks in the quarter, with about $309 million left on the authorization.
