Eddie Ryan: Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining the call today. In order to leave more time for your questions, we will keep our prepared remarks brief. As I laid out in my letter to shareholders, 2025 was a year that proved the strength of Kneat's resilience. In a period of macro uncertainty, elongated buying cycles, and new considerations presented by AI, we continued to gain share with software revenue up 33% for the full year, and we welcomed a record number of new customers. These new customers were added to an exceptionally stable base of existing large customers. Our net revenue retention was 115%, reflecting continued expansion with that base. Customers come to Kneat today because we are a trusted domain expert in a field where confidence in the product is paramount.

Speaker #3: As I laid out in my letter to shareholders, 2025 was a year that proved the strength of Kneat's resilience. In a period of macro uncertainty, elongated buying cycles, and new considerations presented by AI, we continue to gain share with softer revenue up 33% for the full year and we welcome the record number of new customers.

Speaker #3: These new customers were added to exceptionally stable base of existing large customers. Our net revenue retention was 115%, reflecting continued expansion with that base.

Speaker #3: Customers come to Kneat today because we are a trusted domain expert in a field where confidence in the product is paramount. Theirs are highly regulated, mission-critical environments, where validation data needs to be attributable, traceable, and auditable.

Eddie Ryan: Theirs are highly regulated, mission-critical environments where validation data needs to be attributable, traceable, and auditable. All things for which Kneat has been purpose-built. With this in mind, Kneat's advantage in leveraging AI to deliver business value for companies is clear. Over the last while, we've been building AI into our platform to accelerate the advantages Kneat already brings to validation. We introduced AI-powered features designed specifically for environments adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices. These include content review assistant, a natural-language analysis expert, a user-support expert, and an instant language translation function. Building in AI to improve the platform extends our competitive advantage, which was already considerable. With these tailwinds, we are excited about where we are heading in 2026.

Speaker #3: With these tailwinds, we are excited about where we are heading in 2026. Our platform is second to none. Our pipeline is strong. And our land and expand model, which contains significant expansion potential and brings more with each new customer we add, is proving to scale, putting cash flow profitability within line of sight.

Eddie Ryan: Our platform is second to none, our pipeline is strong, and our land and expand model, which contains significant expansion potential and brings more with each new customer we add, is proving to scale, putting cash flow profitability within line of sight. This is a necessary milestone as we plan for the long game in pursuit of our mission, that any regulated company can be confident they are developing, manufacturing, and delivering their products to the highest safety standard. I will now turn it over to Dave, who will take you through the numbers.

Speaker #3: I will now turn it over to Dave, who will take you through the numbers.

Speaker #4: Good morning. As you have the numbers and commentary in our materials that went out last night, I won't go through them in detail again.

Dave O'Reilly: Good morning. As you have the numbers and commentary in our materials that went out last night, I won't go through them in detail again. However, before we turn it over to you for your questions, I do want to first highlight a few numbers and what drove them. First, ARR growth in the quarter year-over-year was 24%. Solid, but not as high as we were expecting. While changes to FX rates since Q3 added a $1.1 million headwind, some of the delta came from expansions being pushed to a future period. This means we expect these same deals to materialize in 2026, if not in Q1, then in a subsequent quarter. Incrementally, ARR is historically back-end loaded, and we also expect 2026 to be no different.

Speaker #4: Incrementally, ARR has historically backend loaded, and we also expect 2026 to be no different. Second, operating expenses in the fourth quarter came down from Q3, and for the full year, we're up 33%.

Dave O'Reilly: Second, operating expenses in Q4 came down from Q3. For the full year, we're up 33%. After 2024, in which we held headcount steady, we invest in key talent in 2025 to drive the platform forward, expand our presence within our growing number of customers, and amplify our voice in the life sciences space. On our financial position and outlook, we ended the year with $48.7 million of cash on the balance sheet.

Speaker #4: Finally, on our financial position and outlook, we ended the year with 48.7 million of cash on the balance sheet. This together with a fortified team sets us up for a pivotal year.

Eddie Ryan: This, together with a fortified team, sets us up for a pivotal year. As Eddie mentioned, we are targeting for 2026 to be cash flow breakeven. Reaching this target is contingent upon meeting our own top-line growth expectations for the year. With that, I'll turn it over to you for your questions.

Speaker #4: As Eddie mentioned, we are targeting for 2026 to be cash flow breakeven. Meeting this target is a contingent upon meeting our own top-line growth expectations for the year.

Speaker #4: With that, I'll turn it over to you for your questions.

Speaker #5: It seems like we're having a little bit of a difficulty getting the questions. Lined up and asked. So if you just sit tight, we will get this sorted.

Operator: Seems like we're having a little bit of a difficulty getting the questions, lined up and asked. If you just sit tight, we will get this sorted, and take your questions. Just sit tight for a minute.

Speaker #5: And take your questions. Just sit tight for a minute.

Speaker #3: Okay.

Eddie Ryan: Okay.

Speaker #4: Thank you. And thank you. I do show we have a first question in queue coming from the line of Doug Taylor from Canacor Genuity.

Operator: Thank you. Thank you. I do show we have a first question in queue coming from the line of Doug Taylor from Canaccord Genuity. Please go ahead.

Speaker #4: Please go ahead.

Speaker #6: Hi. Thank you. Hopefully, you can hear me.

Doug Taylor: Hi. Thank you. Hopefully, you can hear me.

Eddie Ryan: Can do. Can do, Doug.

Speaker #3: Can do, Doug.

Speaker #6: Okay. Thanks, Eddie and Dave. I'll start with an AI question seems unavoidable these days. I appreciate all the commentary provided on AI in your letter.

Doug Taylor: Okay, thanks, Eddie and Dave. I'll start with, you know, an AI question, seems unavoidable these days. I appreciate all the commentary you provided on AI in your letter overnight and your prepared remarks. You frame this as additive versus competitive to your platform. I guess I'd like to ask, you know, what, if you could provide anything you've heard, like, what your customers are saying on the subject. Are they building things with AI that sit on top of your data and your infrastructure? Is there evidence of that? I'm just looking for some anecdotes to, you know, wrap around the subject.

Speaker #6: Overnight, you’re prepared remarks. You frame this as additive versus competitive to your platform. I guess I’d like to ask, if you could provide anything you’ve heard, what your customers are saying on the subject.

Speaker #6: Are they building things with AI that sit on top of your data and your infrastructure? Is there evidence of that? I'm just looking for some anecdotes to wrap around the subject.

Speaker #3: Yeah, good question, Doug. Yeah, so we're not seeing anybody sitting on top, right, doing anything like that. And look, we're dealing with the biggest pharmaceuticals in the world, as you know.

Eddie Ryan: Good, good question, Doug. We're not seeing anybody sitting on top, right? Doing anything like that. Look, we're dealing with the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world, as you know, we've been dealing with them for over 10 years, 15 years. One of the things that is really critical to them is data integrity and compliance. Kneat is a system of record for that data integrity and compliance. When I talk about data integrity in the compliance world, I'm not talking about data in a database being managed and protected there and secure. I'm talking about the interaction with that data and the audit trail on that data and who put that data there, when they put it there, when they changed it, no matter how small that data is.

Speaker #3: And we've been dealing with them for over 10 years, 15 years. And one of the things that is really critical to them is data integrity and compliance.

Speaker #3: And neat is a system of record for that data integrity and compliance. And when I talk about data integrity and the compliance world, I'm not talking about data in a database being managed and protected there and secure.

Speaker #3: I'm talking about the interaction with that data and the audit trail on that data and who put that data there, when they put it there, when they changed it, no matter how small that data is.

Speaker #3: So everything's attributable. It's auditable, and it's traceable. So this is the kind of data integrity that this industry requires, right? And so we see that as a real moat from our perspective.

Eddie Ryan: Everything's attributable, it's auditable, and it's traceable. This is the kind of data integrity that this industry requires, right? You know, we see that as a real moat from our perspective. We accept, yes, that there has to be, you know, additional AI to support that, and we would see AI from our perspective as, you know, doing the heavy lifting as part of the workflow processes and that type of thing for the customer, and bringing value to that way. Over time, where it may go to the next level. Just back to your point, Doug, on customers today, we have very intimate relations with these customers, and we would be sharing our roadmap, and we'll be sharing what we have in AI already with them.

Speaker #3: We accept, yes, that there has to be additional AI to support that. And we would see AI from our perspective as doing the heavy lifting as part of the workflow processes and that type of thing.

Speaker #3: For the customer and bringing value to that way. And over time, where it may go to the next level. So just back to your point, Doug, on customers today, we have very intimate relations with these customers.

Speaker #3: And we would be sharing our roadmap, and we'd be sharing what we have in AR or AI already with them. And they're aligned with us, very much aligned with us in what use cases they want AI to support them in.

Eddie Ryan: They're aligned with us, very much aligned with us in what use cases they want AI to support them in, and what parts of the workflow they want it to be present in, and how they don't want it to be. It's a, it's a human aid at this point in time. Does that answer your question there, Doug?

Speaker #3: And what parts of the workflow they want it to be present in. And how they don't want it to be it's a human aid at this point in time.

Speaker #3: So that's your question there, Doug?

Speaker #4: Yeah. I mean, it does. And so taking the AI as being additive and not in any way competitive with your solution as if we set that aside, the AR growth in this last year was slower than in prior years, partly because you're lapping some larger numbers, but also you've referred to these deferred expansion plans for a few quarters now.

Doug Taylor: Yeah, I mean, it does. You know, taking the AI as, you know, being additive and not, you know, in any way competitive with your solution, as you know, if we, if we set that aside, you know, the ARR growth in this last year was slower than in prior years, partly because you're lapping some larger numbers. You've referred to these deferred expansion plans for a few quarters now, and I think some of that was, you know, attributed to the uncertainty as it relates to, you know, global trade and things like that. That's no less confusing today than it was maybe last quarter. I guess I'd like to refresh.

Speaker #4: And I think some of that was attributed to the uncertainty as it relates to global trade and things like that. And that's no less confusing today than it was maybe in the last quarter.

Speaker #4: So I guess I'd like to refresh our understanding of the duration of those deferrals, when do you do you see those start picking up again and perhaps returning your NRR to some of the levels or we've seen neat enjoy earlier in 2026 and beyond?

Doug Taylor: our understanding of, you know, the duration of those deferrals, when do you know, do you see those start picking up again and perhaps, you know, returning your NRR to some of the levels or we've seen Kneat and Joy earlier in, you know, 2026 and beyond?

Speaker #3: Yeah. We definitely expect it to go up. And what I would say is it's only when you look back on the year you can see how the year panned out fully, right?

Eddie Ryan: Yeah, we definitely expect it to go up. What I would say is, you know, it's only when you look back on the year, you can see how the year panned out fully, right? We are back end of the year type, where we do a lot of our AR addition in traditionally. What I would say is, Q2 began to see the macro environment, Doug, as you know, and the uncertainty, and what we will see that follow through to the year, the full year. Our budgets were deprioritized in certain areas where they were cut and frozen temporarily. That's what we've seen. All of those, what we call deferred expansions, they're all still in our pipeline, as Dave said in his earlier note.

Speaker #3: And we are back end of the year type where we do a lot of our AR addition traditionally. And what I would say is quarter two began to see the macro environment, Doug, as you know.

Speaker #3: And the uncertainty and what we've seen that followed through to the year, the full year. Our budgets were deprioritized in certain areas where they were cut.

Speaker #3: And frozen temporarily. So that's what we've seen. All of those what we call deferred expansions, they're all still in our pipeline, as Dave said in his earlier note.

Speaker #3: And they're all being worked on, and the engagement is ongoing on all of those. So I expect them to come through for us as well through 2026.

Eddie Ryan: They're all being worked on, and the engagement is ongoing on all of those. I expect them to come through for us as well, through 2026. Do I know exactly what the year ahead of that is like from a macro perspective? You know, there's still uncertainty from last year, but I think it's beginning to get stabilized more from that perspective. Other things are coming into play, like AI and stuff like that.

Speaker #3: Do I know exactly what the year ahead is like from the macro perspective? There's still uncertainty from last year, but I think it's beginning to get stabilized more from that perspective.

Speaker #3: Other things are coming into play like AI and stuff like that.

Speaker #4: So the message there being you'd expect AR to rebound from the 2025 level, sorry, NRR, I should say. Based on what you said.

Doug Taylor: The message there being, you'd expect ARR to rebound from the 2025 level. Sorry, NRR, I should say, based on what you said?

Speaker #3: Absolutely.

Eddie Ryan: Absolutely.

Speaker #4: Okay. And then I guess a similar comment or question about what was definitely clear last year was a very strong pace of new customer additions, new logo wins.

Doug Taylor: Okay. You know, I guess, a similar comment or question about, you know, what was definitely clear last year was a very strong pace of new customer additions, new logo wins. Is the setup in the pipeline this year for you to extend that streak?

Speaker #4: Is the setup and the pipeline this year for you to extend that streak?

Speaker #3: Yeah. Yeah. We had, I think, next new there was a bit of churn in there as well. But net new, we had a 2020 odd percent new customers in '25.

Eddie Ryan: Yeah. Yeah, we added, I think net new, there was a bit of churn in there as well. Net new, we added 20 odd percent new customers in 2025. As you know, you know, in recent years, we focused more on strategic and enterprise. Very, very happy with that delivery from our sales team. You know, we're seeing these deals being more and more matured, and for that reason, going through more diligence and, you know, more competitors involved and more RFPs. We're winning all, you know, the majority of these RFPs. Very excited about that, and that puts in a great platform for the future, as you know.

Speaker #3: And as you know, in recent years, we focus more on strategic and enterprise. So very, very happy with that delivery from our sales team.

Speaker #3: And we're seeing these deals being more and more matured, and for that reason, going through more diligence and more competitors involved. And more RFPs.

Speaker #3: And we're winning the majority of these RFPs. So very excited about that. And that puts in a great platform for the future, as you know.

Speaker #3: And I would say the marketing team has done a great job of building the pipeline and we see a similar and better pipeline for the year ahead and beyond.

Eddie Ryan: I would say the marketing team has done a great job of building the pipeline, and we see a similar and better pipeline for the year ahead and beyond, you know.

Speaker #4: Okay. One last question for me, and perhaps this one is for Dave. You've stuck to the cash break-even bogey for this year. And we're in this year now.

Doug Taylor: Okay. One last question for me, perhaps this one is for Dave. You've stuck to the cash break-even bogey for this year, we're in this year now, I do want to give that a little more attention. You know, to start with, you know, just to confirm once again, you're talking about free cash flow or operating cash flow break even, as being the target you expect to eclipse this year, given the capitalized R&D. You know, if so, I mean, in any event, it's a big lift from where you were over this past year. I just want to maybe walk through some of the assumptions, not necessarily the revenue, but you know, the margin assumptions and spending and budget for OpEx, you know, that would get us to that objective.

Speaker #4: So I want to do I do want to give that a little more attention. To start with, just to confirm, once again, you're talking about free cash flow or operating cash flow break-even as being the target you expect to eclipse this year, given the capitalized R&D.

Speaker #4: And if so, I mean, in any event, it's a big lift from where you were over this past year. So I just want to maybe walk through some of the assumptions, not necessarily the revenue, but the margin assumptions and spending and budget for OPEX that would get us to that objective.

Speaker #5: Thanks, Doug. Yes, it's still very much our objective for 2026 is to be cash flow break-even. To your point, we can get into some of that detail.

Dave O'Reilly: Thanks, Doug. Yes, it's still very much our objective for 2026, is to be cash flow break even. To your point, and we can get into some of that detail, what I would say is that the messaging that we've given before, certainly in Q3, about the Adjusted EBITDA margins, I still expect that to hold true for the next 12 months. I expect our capitalized R&D, I would expect that to be relatively static year-over-year. I still expect a little bit of growth on our OpEx, and I expect improvement on our growth margin lines.

David O'Reilly: Thanks, Doug. Yes, it's still very much our objective for 2026, is to be cash flow break even. To your point, and we can get into some of that detail, what I would say is that the messaging that we've given before, certainly in Q3, about the Adjusted EBITDA margins, I still expect that to hold true for the next 12 months. I expect our capitalized R&D, I would expect that to be relatively static year-over-year. I still expect a little bit of growth on our OpEx, and I expect improvement on our growth margin lines.

Speaker #5: But what I would say is that the messaging that we've given before certainly in Q3 about, say, adjusted EBITDA margins, I still expect that to hold true for the next 12 months.

Speaker #5: I expect our capitalized R&D. I would expect that to be relatively static year over year. I still expect a little bit of growth on our OPEX.

Speaker #5: And I expect improvement on our gross margin lines.

Speaker #4: And so just to be clear then, to be cash flow break-even, you would have adjusted EBITDA that would surpass your capitalized R&D. I mean, that would be necessary for free cash flow break-even.

Doug Taylor: Just to be clear then, to be cash flow break, you would have Adjusted EBITDA that would surpass your capitalized R&D? I mean, that would be necessary for free cash flow break even, just maybe sharpen my understanding there.

Speaker #4: Just maybe sharpen my understanding there.

Speaker #5: To an extent, yes, Doug. It should cover the vast majority. There's a couple of other levers on the balance sheet that will help us hit that number in '26, such as our R&D tax credits.

Dave O'Reilly: To an extent, yes, Doug. It should cover the vast majority. There's a couple of other levers on the balance sheet that will help us hit that number in 26, such as our R&D tax credits. It's not just the Adjusted EBITDA that will get us there. As I mentioned, there's another couple of levers on our balance sheet that will help us in the pursuit of cash flow break even.

David O'Reilly: To an extent, yes, Doug. It should cover the vast majority. There's a couple of other levers on the balance sheet that will help us hit that number in 26, such as our R&D tax credits. It's not just the Adjusted EBITDA that will get us there. As I mentioned, there's another couple of levers on our balance sheet that will help us in the pursuit of cash flow break even.

Speaker #5: So it's not just the adjusted EBITDA that will get us there. As I mentioned, there's another couple of levers on our balance sheet that will help us in the pursuit of cash flow break-even.

Speaker #4: All right. I appreciate the answers to my questions. I'll pass the line.

Doug Taylor: All right. I appreciate the answers to my questions. I'll pass the line.

Speaker #6: Thank you. And I show our next question in the queue comes from the line of Gavin Fairweather from ATB Coremark. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you. I show our next question in the queue comes from the line of Gavin Fairweather from ATB Cormark. Please go ahead.

Speaker #4: Oh, hey. Thanks for taking my questions. Eddie, in your letter, you called for an expansion of incremental ARR in 2026 versus 2025. I think that's the first time you've kind of provided that type of guidance.

Gavin Fairweather: Hey, thanks for taking my questions. Eddie, in your letter, you called for an expansion of incremental ARR in 2026 versus 2025. I think that's the first time you've kind of provided that type of guidance. Maybe you could just flush out what you're seeing in the macro and the pipeline that kind of gives you that confidence to hang that out there in your letter.

Speaker #4: So maybe you could just flesh out what you're seeing in the macro and the pipeline that kind of gives you that confidence to hang that out there in your letter.

Speaker #3: Yeah. So but I'm trying to remember that statement. But yeah. So for we, as I said, we put in a lot of strong customers over the last couple of years into the pipe, sorry, into our customer portfolio.

Eddie Ryan: Yeah. You know, I'm trying to remember that statement. Yeah, for, as I said, we put in a lot of strong customers over the last couple of years into the pipe, into our customer portfolio. As you know, Gavin, we focused on enterprise and strategic, you know, a couple of years ago, and they are beginning to show fruit now, the ability for them to expand into the future. You know, they take a year, maybe two years to get going, and we're seeing that playing in as well. We're also having these great conversations with our customers around new potential areas that we will bring value for them. You know, outside of validation, adjacencies areas, and we expect to be delivering to some of these areas as well in 2026.

Speaker #3: So as you know, Gavin, we focused on enterprise and strategic a couple of years ago. And they're beginning to show fruit now, the ability for them to expand.

Speaker #3: Into the future, they take a year, maybe two years to get going. And we're seeing that playing in as well. We're also having these great conversations with our customers around new potential areas that we will bring value for them.

Speaker #3: So outside of validation, adjacency areas, and we expect to be delivering to some of these areas as well in '26.

Speaker #4: Yeah. That kind of flows into my next question. I mean, I was looking for a bit more detail on how conversations are going in the base around CSA and adjacencies.

Gavin Fairweather: Yeah, that kind of flows into my next question. I mean, I was looking for a bit more detail on how conversations are going in the base around, you know, CSA and adjacencies, and how you're thinking about, you know, potential adoption in 2026. Like, how many customers would be, you know, speaking to you about moving into some of these new areas?

Speaker #4: And how you're thinking about potential adoption in 2026. How many customers would be speaking to you about moving into some of these new areas?

Speaker #3: Yeah. We would say it as we are already deploying in some of these areas with some of our customers. We have some really engaging opportunities under discussion with some customers.

Eddie Ryan: Yeah. We would say that we are already deploying in some of these areas with some of our customers. We have some really engaging, you know, opportunities under discussion with some customers. We see us being able to capitalize on that further. These are, you know, couple of the biggest customers in the world, right? Who are talking about looking at these new adjacencies. We're really upbeat about that. We will, you know, we will hope to announce them in due course, Gavin. I would say, just to give you a flavor, they're more, you know, deeper in the manufacturing space, you know, adjacent to validation, but we've already earned the right to be there.

Speaker #3: And we see us being able to capitalize on that further. And these are a couple of the biggest customers in the world, right, who we're talking about looking at these new adjacencies.

Speaker #3: So we're really upbeat about that. And we will hope to announce them in due course, Gavin. But I would say just to give you a flavor, they're more deeper in the manufacturing space, adjacent to validation, where we've already earned the right to be there.

Speaker #3: We've proven our ability to be great at data integrity and at validation environment. And now we can take that same capability to adjacent areas.

Eddie Ryan: You know, we've proven our ability to be great at data integrity in a validation environment, and now we can take that same capability to adjacent areas. The one thing I would say is that, you know, I think our ability to be great at data is going to enable more processes in the future, because of the... You know, if you've got this great data integrity underpinning your AI, then you'd be more inclined to put processes in there that can give you that quality. I think great AI is gonna need great data integrity. As I said, it's not just data and databases, data is managed and policed. That's what I think will be great as well.

Speaker #3: And the one thing I would say is that I think our ability to be great at data is going to enable more processes in the future because of the if you've got this great data integrity underpinning your AI, then you'd be more inclined to put processes in there that can give you that quality.

Speaker #3: And I think great AI is going to need great data integrity. And as I said, it's not just data and databases. Data is managed and policed.

Speaker #3: And that's what I think will be great as well.

Speaker #4: Appreciate that. And then maybe a couple for Dave. The gross margins seem to be increasing faster than your mix would kind of imply, so maybe we can just discuss where you're getting some leverage on the COGS line—whether it's still coming through in SaaS, or if you're also starting to make a bit of money on the services line.

Gavin Fairweather: Appreciate that. Then maybe a couple for Dave. You know, the gross margins, seem to be increasing faster than your mix would kind of imply. Maybe you can just discuss where you're getting some leverage on the COGS line, whether it's, you know, still coming through in SaaS or also, or if you're starting to make a bit of money on the services line.

Speaker #5: Yeah. So in Q4, there is a couple of credits that we booked to our P&L in Q4 related to year-end accrual releases. So there's probably half a percent on our gross margin because of that in Q4.

Dave O'Reilly: In Q4, there's a couple of credits that we booked to our P&L in Q4 related to year-end accrual releases. There's probably a 0.5% on our gross margin because of that in Q4. To your point, sales mix is still beneficial to us. We are eking out a little bit more margin on our PS. You know, I think historically, that's been running at around 15%. I expect that to increase over the next 12 months. SaaS is continuing to be in, you know, an 80% kind of level, and that will flow into 2026.

David O'Reilly: In Q4, there's a couple of credits that we booked to our P&L in Q4 related to year-end accrual releases. There's probably a 0.5% on our gross margin because of that in Q4. To your point, sales mix is still beneficial to us. We are eking out a little bit more margin on our PS. You know, I think historically, that's been running at around 15%. I expect that to increase over the next 12 months. SaaS is continuing to be in, you know, an 80% kind of level, and that will flow into 2026.

Speaker #5: But to your point, sales mix is still beneficial to us. We are eking out a little bit more margin on our PS. I think historically, that's been running at around 15%.

Speaker #5: I expect that to increase over the next 12 months. SaaS is continuing to be in an 80% kind of level. And that will flow into '26.

Speaker #4: Great. And then just lastly, on debt, if I remember correctly, I think some of that debt on the balance sheet the penalties for prepayment start to roll off over the course of 2026.

Gavin Fairweather: Great. Just lastly, on debt. If I remember correctly, I think some of that debt on the balance sheet, the penalties for prepayment start to roll off, you know, over the course of 2026. Just on capital allocation, maybe you can discuss your plans. Obviously, you have more cash on the balance sheet than you have debt, so should we be thinking about some of that debt starting to move off the balance sheet there?

Speaker #4: So just on capital allocation, maybe you can discuss your plans. Obviously, you have more cash on the balance sheet than you have debt. So should we be thinking about some of that debt starting to move off the balance sheet there?

Speaker #5: It you're exactly right. '26, there's a couple of tranches that will roll out of penalty zones if we were to clear those tranches. But it's certainly not in our short-term projection we're talking about cash flow and neutrality in the year.

Dave O'Reilly: You're exactly right. 26, there's a couple of tranches that will roll out of, you know, penalty zones if we were to clear those tranches. It's certainly not in our short-term projection. We're talking about cash flow neutrality in the year. If we do make that call, we'll certainly announce it. Right now, we're just probably gonna let them continue to pay. If we see the opportunity to clear them down sooner, we absolutely will.

David O'Reilly: You're exactly right. 26, there's a couple of tranches that will roll out of, you know, penalty zones if we were to clear those tranches. It's certainly not in our short-term projection. We're talking about cash flow neutrality in the year. If we do make that call, we'll certainly announce it. Right now, we're just probably gonna let them continue to pay. If we see the opportunity to clear them down sooner, we absolutely will.

Speaker #5: If we do make that call, we'll certainly announce it. But right now, we're just probably going to let them continue to pay. If we see the opportunity to clear them down sooner, we absolutely will.

Speaker #4: Thanks a bunch. I'll pass the line.

Gavin Fairweather: Thanks so much. I'll pass the line.

Speaker #6: Thank you. And I show our next question comes from the line of Justin Keywood from Sifo. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you. I show our next question comes from the line of Justin Keywood from Stifel. Please go ahead.

Speaker #7: Hi. Thanks for taking my call. Just circling back on the outlook and the expectation for incremental ARR in 2026 over 2025. Doing the math, does that imply there's an expectation for 15 million in additional ARR this year?

Justin Keywood: Hi, thanks for taking my call. Just circling back on the outlook and the expectation for incremental ARR in 2026 over 2025. Doing the math, does that imply there's an expectation for $15 million in additional ARR this year?

Speaker #3: So yeah. So we don't put a number on this. Justin, but when we look at the add-ons and for this year, they will include the delayed expansions from '25.

Eddie Ryan: We don't put a number on it, Justin, you know, when we look at, you know, the add-ons and for this year, they will include the delayed expansions from 2025. You know, we see also, outside of that cohort, we see expansions from, you know, the other cohorts of customers we have. Today, we service over 130 customers. We also see that, you know, the new customers kicking in as they would be the ones outside that cohort of the deferred, the deferred expansion. Yes, we see those, definitely the number increase on 2025.

Speaker #3: And we see also, outside of that cohort, we see expansions from the other cohorts of customers we have. And today, we serve over 130 customers.

Speaker #3: And we also see that the new customers kicking in, they would be the ones outside that cohort of the deferred expansion. So yes, we see those definitely the number increase on '25.

Speaker #7: Okay. Good to hear. That's helpful. And then just circling back to the AI discussion, I'm wondering if there's an opportunity to deploy some of the AI tools that are out there particularly around coding within a neat's own business.

Justin Keywood: Okay, good to hear. That's helpful. Just circling back to the AI discussion, I'm wondering if there's an opportunity to deploy some of the AI tools that are out there, particularly around coding, within Kneat's own business. The R&D expense continues to appear to be increasing at a decent rate. Is there an opportunity to perhaps replace some of those functions with AI?

Speaker #7: The R&D expense continues to appear to be increasing at a decent rate. And is there an opportunity to perhaps replace some of those functions with AI?

Speaker #3: Absolutely. And our team has been doing automated enhancements for quite a while. I would say, Justin, at the beginning, like in the last six months, they really began to see tools that can really add value.

Eddie Ryan: Absolutely. Our team has been doing automated enhancements for quite a while. I would say, Justin, at the beginning, like in the last six months, I really began to see tools that can really add value. I think we are all hearing about that in the news, and it's true. We're acknowledging it. Our team is acknowledging it quite well. We have, you know, dedicated AI teams in place now, looking to enhance everything. We're seeing some really good improvements on, in productivity in certain areas, right? I mean, we're still building, you know, you know, features into a big platform, and, you know, coding is one part of it. You know, understanding what you're doing from your domain experience is a huge part of this.

Speaker #3: And I think we are hearing about that in the news. And it's true. And we're acknowledging as our team is acknowledging it quite well.

Speaker #3: So we have dedicated AI teams in place now looking to enhance everything. And we're seeing some really good improvements in productivity. In certain areas, right?

Speaker #3: I mean, we're still building features into a big platform, and coding is one part of it. Understanding what you're doing from your domain experience is a huge part of this.

Speaker #3: Articulating those requirements to any tool, whether it's an agent or whether it's a human that actually codes it, is a good part of the work.

Eddie Ryan: articulating those requirements to any tool, whether it's an agent or whether it's a human that actually codes this, is a good part of the work. I would say there's tools helping us across the board, not just in the coding itself. There's value there's good stuff happening there. you know, there's ability to reverse engineer pieces of code and re-engineer them again, a lot of good things happening. I expect we are focused on that, Justin, and I expect we will over time start bringing that, you know, down. The goal now is to get more out of the team we have.

Speaker #3: And we're getting I would say those tools helping us across the board, not just in the coding itself. There's value there. There's good stuff happening there.

Speaker #3: There's the ability to reverse engineer pieces of code and re-engineer them again. A lot of good things happening. So I expect we will be focused we are focused on that, Justin.

Speaker #3: And I expect we will over time start bringing that down. The goal now is to get more out of the team we have. And any of those bits of hires that are going in this year are primarily related to that.

Eddie Ryan: You know, any of those bits of hires that are going in this year are primarily related to that, you know, AI for the product, for our Kneat Gx platform, but also AI to improve our productivity in the organization.

Speaker #3: AI for the product, for our neat GX platform, but also AI to improve our productivity in the organization.

Speaker #7: Very interesting. So would it be fair to assume the R&D or additions to intangible assets to be leveling off at this level? And perhaps that's where today's outlook on break-even free cash flow.

Erin Kyle: Very interesting. Would it be fair to assume, the R&D or additions to intangible assets to be leveling off at this level? Perhaps that's where, today's outlook on breakeven free cash flow, is that where the operating leverage is gonna show up with that R&D level normalizing?

Stephanie Price-Jones: Very interesting. Would it be fair to assume, the R&D or additions to intangible assets to be leveling off at this level? Perhaps that's where, today's outlook on breakeven free cash flow, is that where the operating leverage is gonna show up with that R&D level normalizing?

Speaker #7: Is that where the operating leverage is going to show up with that R&D level normalizing?

Speaker #3: I think that there it is.

Eddie Ryan: Want to take that there, David?

Speaker #5: Yeah. Just the will still be some growth in the R&D function. To Eddie's point, it's probably going to be around the AI team and helping accelerate the development.

Dave O'Reilly: Yeah. Just there will still be some growth in the R&D function. To Eddie's point, it's probably gonna be around the AI team and helping, you know, accelerate the development. We're also gonna see that shift, and I mentioned this one in the prior Q, that we're gonna probably see a little bit more R&D expense to the income statement as we capitalize less. I would imagine that what we will see being capitalized year-over-year, being very static.

David O'Reilly: Yeah. Just there will still be some growth in the R&D function. To Eddie's point, it's probably gonna be around the AI team and helping, you know, accelerate the development. We're also gonna see that shift, and I mentioned this one in the prior Q, that we're gonna probably see a little bit more R&D expense to the income statement as we capitalize less. I would imagine that what we will see being capitalized year-over-year, being very static.

Speaker #5: But we're also going to see that shift. I mentioned this one in the prior quarter that we're going to probably see a little bit more R&D expense to the income statement as we capitalize less.

Speaker #5: And I would imagine that what we will see being capitalized year over year being very static.

Speaker #7: Very helpful. Thanks for taking my questions.

Erin Kyle: Very helpful. Thanks for taking my questions.

Stephanie Price-Jones: Very helpful. Thanks for taking my questions.

Speaker #5: No problem.

Dave O'Reilly: No problem.

David O'Reilly: No problem.

Speaker #7: Thank you. And I show our next question comes from the line of David Kwon from TD Cowen. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you. I show our next question comes from the line of David Kwan from TD Cowen. Please go ahead.

Speaker #8: Hey, everyone. Dave, maybe I just wanted to clarify the comments on the gross margin. So I think you said there was about 50 beeps of year-end accruals.

David Kwan: Hey, everyone. Dave, maybe I just wanted to clarify the comments on the gross margin. I think you said there was about 50 basis points of year-end accruals. Maybe the normalized gross margins were in the 77% range. Could 2026 gross margins be at this level or maybe even better than that?

Speaker #8: So maybe the normalized gross margins were in the 77% range. So could 2026 gross margins be at this level or maybe even better than that?

Speaker #5: I would assume that they should be at a similar level, David. Yes. It does depend on the mix when we get there. Obviously, our PS revenue is running at historically has been around 15%.

Dave O'Reilly: I would assume that they should be at a similar level, David. Yes. It does depend on the mix when we get there. Obviously, our PS revenue is running at, you know, historically, has been around 15%. I expect that to be 20% and above. That depends on where we finish up from a PS revenue in 2026. I do expect the gross margin to be up around the 77% range.

David O'Reilly: I would assume that they should be at a similar level, David. Yes. It does depend on the mix when we get there. Obviously, our PS revenue is running at, you know, historically, has been around 15%. I expect that to be 20% and above. That depends on where we finish up from a PS revenue in 2026. I do expect the gross margin to be up around the 77% range.

Speaker #5: I expect that to be 20% and above. And that depends on where we finish up from a PS revenue in '26. But I do expect the gross margin to be up around the 77% range.

Speaker #8: Oh, that's great. That's helpful. And just digging into the NRR, the decline there, obviously, you talked about some expansion projects getting pushed out there and some churn.

David Kwan: That's great. That's helpful. In just digging into the NRR, the decline there, obviously, you talked about some expansion projects getting pushed out there and some churn. You mentioned, I guess, that there weren't any customers that were switching to competitors, but I was just wondering if you had any color on what the churn was related to? Like, did those customers go bankrupt, or was there something else?

Speaker #8: Could you you mentioned, I guess, that there weren't any customer or customers that were switching to competitors? But I was just wondering if you had any color on what the churn was related to.

Speaker #8: Do those customers go bankrupt? Was there something else?

Speaker #3: Yeah, David. Thanks for that tool. I would say that there's three aspects to the churn. There's the deferred expansions. There's the FX going against us.

Eddie Ryan: Yeah, David, thanks for that. I would say that there's 3 aspects to the churn. There's the deferred expansions, there's the FX going against us, and then there's the churn element. I would say, yes, all of those customers actually, in fact, have had some degree of financial difficulties, one to some extent. Yes, there's, you know, one or 2 of those customers actually closed down. For those customers that discontinued using Kneat, you know, we're not aware of any of them going to competitor at all, and that's very clear to us.

Speaker #3: And then there's the churn element. And I would say, yes, all of those customers actually, in fact, have had some degree of financial difficulties to some extent.

Speaker #3: And yes, there's one or two of those customers who actually closed down. But for those customers that discontinued using Kneat, we're not aware of any of them going to a competitor at all.

Speaker #3: And that's very clear to us. So some of the when we look back again, talking enterprise and strategic customers over the last couple of years.

Eddie Ryan: some of the, you know, when we look back at, again, talking about the how we focus on enterprise and strategic customers over the last couple of years, prior to that, you know, we would have sold to a lot of different types of customers, and maybe the product market fit may not have been, or the product company fit may not have been 100%. We're seeing some of those bubbling up a little bit as well, over the, you know, over the last year.

Speaker #3: Prior to that, we would have sold to a lot of different types of customers. And maybe the product market fit may not have been or the product company fit may not have been 100%.

Speaker #3: So we're seeing some of those bubbling up a little bit as well. Over the last year.

Speaker #8: No, thanks for the color already. And can you say how much of ARR it represented? I'm guessing it's relatively small, but I didn't know if you could quantify it.

David Kwan: No, thanks for the color, Eddie. Can you say, like, how much of ARR it represented? I'm guessing it's relatively small, but didn't know if you could quantify it.

Speaker #3: Yeah. It's a small-ish, I would say, that if you were looking at where we wanted to be on our overall growth versus where we were, it's probably divided into three things.

Eddie Ryan: Yeah, it's a small issue. I would say that if you were looking at where we wanted to be on our, you know, overall growth versus where we were, it's probably divided into three, you know, things, maybe, 40, 50%. Dave, you might be able to correct me here, is related to the deals that were pushed out. The other 50% is between churn and FX.

Speaker #3: Maybe 40, 50 percent. Dave, you might be able to correct me here is related to the deals that were pushed out. And the other 50% is between churn and FX.

Speaker #8: Great. And just one last question. I expect it's maybe a bit early here, but just obviously with the Supreme Court's tariff ruling, do you expect that will probably lead to continued hesitation from your customers, just as it relates to uncertainties on their expansion plans?

David Kwan: Great. Just one last question. I suspect it's maybe a bit early here, but, just obviously with the Supreme Court's tariff ruling, do you expect that to probably lead to continued hesitation from your customers just, as it relates to the uncertainties, on their expansion plans?

Speaker #3: Yeah. Having consumed that fully, David, I would say, right? What I am seeing is more stability in the customers, more clear on what they were doing.

Eddie Ryan: Yeah, you know, having consumed that fully, David, I would say, right, you know, what I am seeing is more stability in the customers, more clear on what they were doing. Maybe this adds another bit of volatility to the situation, but, you know, I had a feeling that things were improving, and it's a bit early for me to comment on that.

Speaker #3: Maybe this adds another bit of volatility to the situation. But are you ahead of feeling that things were improving? And it's a bit early for me to comment on that.

Speaker #8: That's great. Thanks, guys.

David Kwan: That's great. Thanks, guys.

Speaker #7: Thank you. And I share our last question in the queue comes from the line of Aaron Kyle from CIBC. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you. I show our last question in the queue comes from the line of Erin Kyle from CIBC. Please go ahead.

Speaker #9: Hi. Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Apologize if any of this has been asked. Already, I get kicked off the call a little bit earlier here, but I want to go back to some of the comments in the shareholder letter around retention.

Erin Kyle: Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Apologize if any of this has been asked already. I get kicked off the call a little bit earlier here, but I wanna go back to some of the comments in the shareholder letter around retention. You called out that you're not aware of any churn to competitors, which is good to hear, but I wanted to expand there and maybe ask if you're seeing any pricing pressure from increased competition in the space or anything to call out there?

Stephanie Price-Jones: Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Apologize if any of this has been asked already. I get kicked off the call a little bit earlier here, but I wanna go back to some of the comments in the shareholder letter around retention. You called out that you're not aware of any churn to competitors, which is good to hear, but I wanted to expand there and maybe ask if you're seeing any pricing pressure from increased competition in the space or anything to call out there?

Speaker #9: And you called out that you're not aware of any churn to competitors, which is good to hear. But I wanted to expand there and maybe ask if you're seeing any pricing pressure from increased competition in the space or anything to call out there.

Speaker #3: Yeah. So I said earlier on, Aaron, that of all the new deals last year, we're winning the majority of them by far. And I would say that there's definitely more competition in evaluations.

Eddie Ryan: Yeah. I said earlier on, Erin, that, you know, of all the new, the new deals last year, we are winning the majority of them by far. I would say that there's, you know, there's definitely more competition in the evaluations. That competition, you know, was entering through 2025, and having the ability to maybe slow down the sales process a little bit. There's also the macros that were slowing down the sales process. I would say that, you know, definitely there's not a huge amount of pricing pressure. You know, we're not pushing our prices down in any way. We're winning the deals. We're holding our prices.

Speaker #3: And that competition was entering through 2025. And having the ability to maybe slow down the sales process a little bit. But also, there's also the macros that we're slowing down the sales process.

Speaker #3: So I would say that definitely there's not a huge amount of pricing pressure. We're not pushing down prices down in any way. We're winning the deals.

Speaker #3: We're holding our prices. I would say, a little bit here and there, maybe we could be a bit innovative around the contracts and stuff like that, and the multi-years and that type of thing.

Eddie Ryan: I would say a little bit here and there, maybe to be a bit innovative around the contracts and stuff like that, and the multi-years and that type of thing. No significant impact on our pricing. You know, that's, you know. We put a lot of effort into making sure our customers understand how great our product is before we get to the pricing stage, and I think that helps a lot.

Speaker #3: But no significant impact on our pricing. And that's what we put a lot of effort into making sure our customers understand how great our product is.

Speaker #3: Before we get to the pricing stage, and I think that helps a lot.

Speaker #9: Okay. That's helpful. Thank you. And then maybe can you just remind us the percentage of your customer base that's on the enterprise-wide licenses and maybe just discuss whether you've been making a more dedicated push towards enterprise-wide?

Erin Kyle: Okay, that's helpful. Thank you. Maybe can you just remind us, the percentage of your customer base that's on the enterprise-wide licenses? Maybe just discuss whether you've been making a more dedicated push towards enterprise-wide. I believe you have. Can you let us know if customers have been receptive to this model or, yeah, what's the reaction to maybe moving to more enterprise-wide licenses?

Stephanie Price-Jones: Okay, that's helpful. Thank you. Maybe can you just remind us, the percentage of your customer base that's on the enterprise-wide licenses? Maybe just discuss whether you've been making a more dedicated push towards enterprise-wide. I believe you have. Can you let us know if customers have been receptive to this model or, yeah, what's the reaction to maybe moving to more enterprise-wide licenses?

Speaker #9: I believe you have. And then can you let us know if customers have been receptive to this model or, yeah, what's the reaction to maybe moving to more enterprise-wide licenses?

Speaker #3: Yeah. That's an ongoing thing. As customers step up in volume, they go to more enterprise. And we have done quite a bit of that over the last, I'd say, 14 months or so, 16 months.

Eddie Ryan: Yeah, that's an ongoing thing, Erin. As customers step up in volume, they go to more enterprise, and we have done quite a bit of that over the last, I'd say, 14 months or so, 16 months. We continue to do it, and it's a very win-win situation, and we do very well from that. Percentage-wise, I find it hard to tell you exactly right now. Dave might have a number on it, but we don't track that number. I would say that if we were to take our strategic, maybe top 30 customers, I would say we have 30% on some form of strategic, longer term deal. That's kind of an order of magnitude now, Erin, so I can't...

Speaker #3: And we continue to do it. And it's a very win-win situation. And we do very well from that. Percentage-wise, I find it hard to tell you exactly right now.

Speaker #3: Dave might have a number on it, but we don't track that number. But I would say that if we were to take our strategics, maybe top 30 customers, I would say we have 30% on some form of strategic longer-term deal.

Speaker #3: That's kind of an order of magnitude now, Aaron. So I have to come back to you with that number if you wanted to follow up on this.

Eddie Ryan: I'd have to come back to you with that number if you wanted to follow up on this.

Speaker #9: Sure. Maybe I'll follow up offline. Thank you.

Erin Kyle: Sure. Maybe I'll follow up offline. Thank you.

Stephanie Price-Jones: Sure. Maybe I'll follow up offline. Thank you.

Speaker #3: Thanks.

Eddie Ryan: Thanks.

Speaker #7: Thank you. That concludes our Q&A session for today. I'd now like to turn the conference back to Eddie Ryan, CEO, for closing remarks. Please go ahead.

Operator: Thank you. That concludes our Q&A session for today. I'd now like to turn the conference back to Eddie Ryan, CEO, for closing remarks. Please go ahead.

Speaker #3: Thank you. We're excited about what we are setting out to accomplish in 2026. We're in a great spot to keep our momentum going. As the go-to validation platform for the world's biggest life sciences companies.

Eddie Ryan: Thank you. We are excited about what we are setting out to accomplish in 2026. We are in a great spot to keep our momentum going as the go-to validation platform for the world's biggest life sciences companies. We continue to deploy AI to help our customers work faster and smarter by keeping their data 100% compliant in a way that they can see, understand, and trust.
