Second Quarter 2026 Key Performance Indicators and Recent Business Highlights
-
ARR as of June 30, 2026 was $465.1 million, up 27% year-over-year. Adjusted for FX, ARR grew 24%.
-
Dollar-based gross retention rate was 89% on a reported and FX-adjusted basis, while dollar-based net retention rate was 111% on a reported basis and 110% when adjusted for FX.
-
The Company released its third annual State of AI report, finding that organizations lack the trust layer required to scale AI safely, as governance gaps, deployment delays, and AI-generated data are compounding the challenge.
-
The Company announced new advancements to the AvePoint Confidence Platform that extend the trust layer - the connected layer of governance, security, recovery, and backup controls that sits across an organization's data - to agentic AI, new enterprise applications, and new multicloud infrastructure.
Financial Outlook
The Company is again raising its full-year guidance for annual recurring revenue, and the Company's updated full-year guidance for revenue and non-GAAP operating income includes the respective second quarter outperformance relative to guidance. Second, the Company is increasing its expense plans for the second half of the year, given the rapidly growing market opportunity and demand for its platform and services. Lastly, the Company's updated financial guidance reflects the current expected headwind from the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates for all metrics, which more than offset the raise in ARR and the second quarter outperformance for revenue and non-GAAP operating income.
For the third quarter of 2026, the Company expects:
- Total revenues of $128.2 million to $130.2 million, or year-over-year growth of 18% at the midpoint. On a constant currency basis, the Company expects revenue growth of 19% at the midpoint.
-
Non-GAAP operating income of $21.0 million to $22.0 million.
For the full year 2026, the Company now expects:
- Total ARR of $522.1 million to $528.1 million, or year-over-year growth of 26% at the midpoint. Adjusted for FX, the Company continues to expect ARR growth of 26% at the midpoint.
- Total revenues of $508.5 million to $512.5 million, or year-over-year growth of 22% at the midpoint. On a constant currency basis, the Company now expects revenue growth of 21% at the midpoint.
-
Non-GAAP operating income of $86.4 million to $88.4 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics
To supplement AvePoint's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses (including percentage of revenue figures), non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin, and key metrics include annual recurring revenue, dollar-based gross retention rate, and dollar-based net retention rate. The Company has included a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of acquired intangible assets and expenses related to the secondary listing on the SGX-ST and the Company's decision to discontinue its participation in a growth equity fund. The Company believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures provides a better representation as to its overall operating performance. The presentation of AvePoint's non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for its financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and AvePoint's non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
Annual Recurring Revenue. This metric is calculated as the annualized sum of contractually obligated Annual Contract Value ("ACV") from SaaS and term license and support revenue sources from all active customers at the end of a reporting period. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or replace these items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, and the active contracts used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers. The Company believes this metric further enables measurement of its business performance, is an important metric for financial forecasting and better enables strategic decision making. Because this metric does not have the effect of providing a numerical measure that is different from any comparable GAAP measure, the Company does not consider it a non-GAAP measure.
Dollar-based Gross Retention Rate. This metric is calculated by starting with the ARR from all active customers as of 12 months prior to such period end, or Prior Period ARR. The Company then calculates ARR from these same customers as of the current period end, or Current Period ARR. Current Period ARR includes net contraction or attrition over the last 12 months but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. The Company then divides the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the dollar-based gross retention rate. The Company uses this metric as a measure of its ability to retain existing customers, and believes it is useful to investors for the same reason. Because this metric does not have the effect of providing a numerical measure that is different from any comparable GAAP measure, the Company does not consider it a non-GAAP measure.
Dollar-based Net Retention Rate. This metric is calculated by starting with the ARR from all active customers as of 12 months prior to such period end, or Prior Period ARR. The Company then calculates ARR from these same customers as of the current period end, or Current Period ARR. Current Period ARR includes net expansion over the last 12 months but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. The Company then divides the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the dollar-based net retention rate. The Company uses this metric as a measure of its ability to expand business with existing customers, and believes it is useful to investors for the same reason. Because this metric does not have the effect of providing a numerical measure that is different from any comparable GAAP measure, the Company does not consider it a non-GAAP measure.
Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes, as applicable, share-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions. A reconciliation of the guidance for non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability and significance of, the amounts of share-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions that are excluded from the guidance, as well as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, which impact other GAAP performance metrics. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures for future periods is not available without unreasonable effort.
