    Total Revenue

    +9.7% (from $96.65M to $106.00M)

    Strong demand across software and services combined with contributions from acquisitions helped drive revenue upward from the previous period’s baseline, reflecting the company’s momentum from prior successes and continued market expansion.

    Software Revenue

    +18% (from $39.3M to $46.37M)

    Robust growth from existing customer demand and expanded relationships, along with significant M&A contributions (e.g., Chemaxon), propelled the increase in software revenue compared to Q1 2024.

    EMEA Revenue

    +24% (from $20.84M to $25.79M)

    Enhanced regional performance and geographic expansion in EMEA, driven by increased adoption of technology-enabled services, resulted in a substantial boost over the previous period’s figures.

    Asia Pacific Revenue

    +24% (from $6.65M to $8.26M)

    Similar regional dynamics as in EMEA, with growing client engagement and service adoption, contributed to a notable increase in revenue in the Asia Pacific region compared to Q1 2024.

    Income from Operations

    Turned from a loss of $1,287K to a profit of $7,623K

    A dramatic turnaround driven by robust revenue growth and improved cost management. The recovery reflects better operational leverage compared to Q1 2024, where higher expenses relative to revenue contributed to a loss.

    Net Income

    Improved by over $9,400K (from a loss of $4,683K to $4,743K)

    A significant recovery achieved through combined revenue gains and enhanced operating margins. The positive swing is linked to better cost control, lower prior period one‑off charges, and overall stronger performance relative to Q1 2024.

    Operating Cash Flow

    +300%+ (from $4,296K to $17,352K)

    Substantial improvement in cash flow from operations due to stronger cash-adjusted net income and more efficient working capital management (e.g., lower increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses), reflecting the corrective actions taken after Q1 2024’s lower operational cash generation.
