Share Repurchase Program
Current report
In October 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that authorizes us to repurchase up to $150.0 million, or the Repurchase Program, of our common stock. The Repurchase Program permits shares of common stock to be repurchased from time to time at management's discretion, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including accelerated share repurchase transactions, block trades or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The timing and number of shares of common stock repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the market price of our common stock, general business and market conditions, alternative investment opportunities and funding considerations. The Repurchase Program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number or dollar amount of shares and has no expiration date. The Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended or terminated by our Board of Directors at any time.

Previous wording
The recent imposition by the United States of additional tariffs on a broad range of imports from multiple countries and uncertainty regarding the ultimate effectiveness, timing and extent of certain of such tariffs, along with the possibility of retaliatory tariffs being imposed by foreign countries, has introduced new uncertainty into the global trade environment. Although our operations do not involve the direct purchase of significant volumes of goods or raw materials from outside the United States, and we do not manufacture or inventory physical products, these trade measures may indirectly affect our business. For example, continued or escalating tariffs may contribute to inflationary pressures or impact the cost structures of our third-party service providers, cloud infrastructure partners or customers, which could affect demand for our solutions and services or increase our cost-of-service delivery over time.

Additionally, recent changes in the regulatory landscape for financial services and new regulatory developments, including, for example, the GENIUS Act signed into law on July 18, 2025, may impact our prospects' and customers' operations. Financial services providers and their solutions are subject to extensive and complex regulations and oversight by federal, state and other regulatory authorities. New regulations or changes to existing regulations may create uncertainty or additional cost for financial services providers as they adjust their operations and compliance efforts. Changes to regulations or new regulations may also encourage the adoption and prevalence of new financial products and services from non-depository institutions, such as cryptocurrencies or stablecoin, which may compete with their more traditional financial services.

Continued heightened geopolitical instability, including acts of war or military conflict, has created additional uncertainty in the marketplace. Heightened geopolitical tensions increase the risks associated with cybersecurity threats, supply chain disruptions, payment delays and failures to settle financial transactions. While we do not have significant operations in directly affected areas, we are unable to predict the impact of geopolitical factors on the global economy or on our financial condition or results of operations.

We define a Registered User as an individual related to an account holder of an Installed Customer on our consumer digital banking platform who has registered to use one or more of our digital banking solutions and has current access to use those solutions as of the last day of the reporting period presented. Our average number of Registered Users per Installed Customer grows as our existing digital banking platform customers add more Registered Users and as we add larger financial institutions to our Installed Customer base. We anticipate that over time the number of Registered Users will grow at a faster rate than our number of Installed Customers but may fluctuate from period to period. We add new Registered Users through both organic and inorganic growth from existing customers and from the addition of End Users from new Installed Customers. Our Installed Customers had approximately 24.7 million, 22.0 million and 21.1 million Registered Users as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Registered Users as of June 30, 2025 were 26.2 million compared to 23.6 million as of June 30, 2024.

We believe Subscription Annual Recurring Revenue, or Subscription ARR, and Total Annual Recurring Revenue, or Total ARR, provide important information about our future revenue potential and our ability to maintain and expand our relationship with existing clients. We calculate Subscription ARR as the annualized value of all recurring subscription revenue recognized in the last month of the reporting period, with the exception of variable revenue in excess of contracted amounts for which we instead take the average monthly run rate of the trailing three months within that reporting period. Our Subscription ARR also includes the contracted minimum subscription amounts associated with all contracts in place at the end of the quarter for which revenue recognition has not yet commenced. Subscription revenues are defined within "Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements and Estimates" in our Form 10-K. We calculate Total ARR as the annualized value of all recurring revenue recognized in the last month of the reporting period, with the exception of variable revenue in excess of contracted amounts for which we instead take the average monthly run rate of the trailing three months within that reporting period. Our Total ARR also includes the contracted minimums associated with all contracts in place at the end of the quarter for which revenue recognition has not yet commenced, and revenue generated from Integrated Services. Integrated Services revenue is generated from select established customer relationships where we have engaged with the customer for more tailored, premium professional services resulting in a deeper and ongoing level of engagement with them, which we deem to be recurring in nature. Total ARR does not include revenue from professional services or other sources of revenue that are not deemed to be recurring in nature. Subscription and Total ARR are not a forecast of future revenue, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates. Subscription and Total ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as Subscription and Total ARR are operating metrics and are not intended to be combined with or replace these items. Our use of Subscription and Total ARR has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation. Other companies in our industry may calculate Subscription ARR and Total ARR differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

We believe that elevated interest rates have increased the importance for financial institutions to attract and retain depository relationships, which we believe has increased demand for our digital banking solutions. We have observed improved subscription bookings and associated revenue primarily from our digital banking solutions, which we believe is a result of banking conditions placing an importance on attracting and retaining deposits. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our subscription revenue growth was 16% and 17%, respectively, as compared to the prior year period, and we expect subscription revenue will continue to increase as a percentage of total revenue. We continue to observe an overall trend of reduction in customer demand for certain discretionary aspects of our solutions, namely professional services, which we believe are related to customer spending patterns and budget cycles, and will likely continue until the general economic outlook improves.

As we continue to make these investments over the long term, we expect they will increase cost of revenues in absolute dollars as we grow our business, and we expect such expenses to decline as a percentage of revenue, based on cost efficiencies realized in the business, the level and timing of implementation support activities, timing of capitalized software development costs, debit card related pass-through fees and other related costs.
