  • The company lifted its fiscal 2027 revenue guidance to $907 million–$913 million and its adjusted operating profit outlook to $76 million–$80 million, up sharply from prior ranges.
  • Core operational metrics show usage revenue climbed about 41% to $202 million, subscription revenue rose 26% to $18 million, and payment volume increased 29% to $1.3 billion.
