Profitability outperformed the top end of guidance, while revenue grew 4% YoY and was near the high end of guidance .
- Guidance was reaffirmed on FY26 revenue ($267–$270M) and raised on the low end for non-GAAP net income ($22.5–$23.5M), incorporating ~$0.5M tariff impact; Q2 FY26 revenue guided to $65.5–$66.1M and non-GAAP EPS $0.20–$0.21 .

- Headwinds include residual churn from IWG/Regis weighing on user counts, negative product gross margins (albeit improving), and timing uncertainty on AirDial ramp with larger partners; management characterized UCaaS demand as “steady,” with accelerating AirDial interest .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- AirDial commercialization and channel expansion: “this partner of ours is Comcast, and they launched AirDial on schedule… we now exceed 30 reseller partners for AirDial” .
- Hospitality momentum: “we now serve more than 500 hotels across North America” and Marriott-certified pipeline “more than 100 Marriott properties” .
- Profitability traction: non-GAAP net income $5.6M (above guidance) and adjusted EBITDA $6.7M; CEO: “results included 48% YoY growth of non-GAAP EPS and 33% YoY growth of adjusted EBITDA” .
What Went Wrong
- User churn and mix drift: core users declined sequentially to 1.225M, primarily due to IWG seat reductions; business users fell to 499k (41% of core) .
- Product gross margin remained negative, though improving: product and other GM was -41% (vs -67% LY), reflecting higher AirDial installations and the heavier product mix .
- Guidance cadence still cautious on AirDial timing; management emphasized early-stage rollouts with larger partners and elongated sales cycles, keeping near-term visibility limited .

Note: ARR YoY growth was cited as 3% in Q4 FY25 and 33% in Q1 FY26 ; this is a discrepancy likely due to transcription/context. Management’s Q4 commentary (3% YoY) appears more consistent with stable ARR of $234M QoQ.

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- “Ooma delivered a solid Q1, with $65.0 million in revenue and $5.6 million of non-GAAP net income… 48% year over year growth of non-GAAP EPS and 33% year over year growth of adjusted EBITDA.” — Eric Stang, CEO .
- “This partner of ours is Comcast, and they launched AirDial on schedule… we now exceed 30 reseller partners for AirDial.” — Eric Stang, CEO .
- “We closed four new customers [on 2600Hz], which is our most ever in one quarter.” — Eric Stang, CEO .

Q&A Highlights
- Retention and churn: NRR improved to 99% (from 98% in Q4) as non-Regis businesses offset anticipated Regis churn; last two quarters saw ~12–13k lines churn at Regis, largely matching prior guidance and mostly behind them .
- Demand environment: UCaaS demand steady, while AirDial demand clearly accelerating as pricing and copper line shutdowns prompt action .
- Gross margins: Subscription & services GM expected to remain ~72% near term, with potential improvement later in the year as capacity investments normalize .
- 2600Hz trajectory and disclosure: Still low single-digit % of total revenue; more granular disclosure considered when 10–15% of revenue .
- Profit trajectory: Management sees room for adjusted EBITDA margin materially above current levels over time given 72% subscription margins and lower future R&D intensity across mature solutions .
Estimates Context
- Q1 FY26 beat S&P Global consensus on revenue ($65.03M vs $64.82M*) and non-GAAP diluted EPS ($0.20 vs $0.18*) . Values marked with * retrieved from S&P Global.
- Implications: modest revenue beat (~0.3%) but a more notable EPS beat (~10%), reflecting operating leverage and disciplined OpEx; estimate revisions may move up slightly on profitability while revenue stays near prior run-rate given reiterated FY26 revenue outlook .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- AirDial inflection building: Comcast launch, >30 resellers, improving product GM, and growing enterprise/government pipeline are key catalysts likely to drive H2-weighted momentum .
- Profitability trajectory intact: non-GAAP EPS and EBITDA outperformed, FY26 non-GAAP NI low end raised despite tariff headwind; subscription GM steady at ~72% .
- UCaaS steady, verticals expanding: SMB Office premium mix rising (61% of new users) and hospitality momentum (>500 hotels; Marriott pipeline) support mix/ARPU gains .
- Residual churn fading: IWG/Regis reductions largely behind, aiding stabilization of users/NRR near 99% .
- Watch the bridge from bookings to revenue: large-deal sales cycles and partner ramp timing remain the gating factor; trajectory likely back-half weighted given installation-to-revenue lag .
- 2600Hz optionality: growing customer count validates platform; revenue impact likely more material next fiscal year as implementations mature .
- Risk checks: product mix can pressure GAAP gross margin if AirDial installations spike quickly; tariffs (~$0.5M) embedded in FY26 guide; execution with new partners is critical .
