Actionable Insight

The GAAP loss widening is a concern, but the adjusted EPS beat of 80% and strong ARR growth of 12% sequentially are positive signals. The raised full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to at least $12M suggests improving operating leverage. Watch for litigation expense trajectory and whether the sequential customer decline (4,000) from partner realignment reverses in Q2.
