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 .

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 .
  • “Non-GAAP net income was $5.6 million, above our guidance range… Business subscription and services revenue grew 6% year-over-year… ARPU increased 4% YoY to $15.37.” — Shig Hamamatsu, CFO .

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 .
