Where our engineering and delivery capacity can grow client impact without growing costs at the same time. As part of that, we are focusing our investment on the core Transcend platform and the adjacencies where NETSOL has a defensible customer and domain advantage. Looking to fiscal 2027, our priorities are very clear. First, scale Transcend Retail across the US dealer market. Second, embed AI across our products and our operations.

My comments will cover five areas: the rebound and Q4 exit rate, the quality of the full year results, the strength and use of our balance sheet, the actions underway to improve earnings conversion and simplify the organization, and our guidance for fiscal 2027. Before turning to the full year, I want to provide a Q4 perspective. Q4 revenue was $20.7 million, a record quarter for us, up 12.5% year over year. Subscription and support revenue grew 9% to $8.9 million, while services revenue increased 21.3% to $11.7 million.
Speaker #3: Just as importantly, we are putting in place the financial discipline, operating model, and performance metrics required to make this progress durable. My comments will cover five areas.
Speaker #3: The rebound and fourth quarter exit rate, the quality of the full year results, the strength and use of our balance sheet, the actions underway to improve earnings conversion and simplify the organization, and our guidance for fiscal 2027.
Speaker #3: Before turning to the full year, I want to provide a fourth quarter perspective. Fourth quarter revenue was $20.7 million—a record quarter for us, up 12.5% year-over-year.
Speaker #3: Subscription and support revenue grew 9% to 8.9 million, while services revenue increased 21.3% to 11.7 million. Fourth quarter gross profit increased 27.3% to 13.2 million, and gross margin expanded to 63.6% from 56.2%.
Sardar Abubakr: Q4 gross profit increased 27.3% to $13.2 million, and gross margin expanded to 63.6% from 56.2%. Operating income increased 14.2% to $4.5 million, representing an operating margin of 21.6%, compared with 17.4% last year. GAAP net income attributable to NETSOL increased 45.9% to $3.8 million or $0.32 per diluted share, compared with $0.22. The exit rate is particularly important in the context of our start to the new year. in Q1 last year, revenue was $15 million, gross margin was 39.4%, and operating loss was $1.8 million, and net loss attributable to NETSOL was $2.4 million. By Q3, however, revenue had reached a then record $19.8 million, gross margin was 55.6%, and operating income was $3 million. in Q4, revenue reached $20.7 million, gross margin was 63.6%, and operating income was $4.5 million.

Speaker #3: Operating income increased 40.2% to 4.5 million, representing an operating margin of 21.6% compared with 17.4% last year. Gap income net income attributable to NETSOL increased 45.9% to 3.8 million, or 32 cents per diluted share compared with 22 cents.
Speaker #3: The exit rate is particularly important in the context of our start to the new year. In the first quarter, last year, revenue was 15 million, gross margin was 39.4%, and operating loss was 1.8 million, and net loss attributable to NETSOL was 2.4 million.
Speaker #3: By the third quarter, however, revenue had reached a then-record $19.8 million; gross margin was 55.6%, and operating income was $3 million. In Q4, revenue reached $20.7 million; gross margin was 63.6%, and operating income was $4.5 million.
Speaker #3: From Q1 to Q4, revenue increased by approximately 38%, gross margin expanded by more than 2,400 basis points, and the quarterly operating result improved by approximately 6.3 million.
Sardar Abubakr: From Q1 to Q4, revenue increased by approximately 38%, gross margin expanded by more than 2,400 basis points, and the quarterly operating result improved by approximately $6.3 million. This demonstrates a meaningful rebound in execution while recognizing the timing of agreements, implementation milestones, and development capitalization can create quarter-to-quarter variability. For the full year, total net revenues increased 4.5% to a record $74.4 million above our $73 million guidance. Subscription and support revenue increased 8.7% to $35.8 million, demonstrating continued growth in the recurring foundations of the business. Services revenue increased 3.3% to $33.6 million as we progressed major implementation. License revenue was $5 million and included approximately $4.7 million associated with the renewal and amendment of an existing Transcend customer agreement. We want investors to distinguish absolute recurring revenue growth from revenue mix.

Speaker #3: Subscription and support represented 48.1% of revenue, compared to 49.8% last year, because license revenue increased this year. We will increasingly supplement this disclosure with consistent measures of recurring revenue remaining performance obligations and implementation activity.
Sardar Abubakr: Subscription and support represented 48.1% of revenue, compared to 49.8% last year because license revenue increased this year. We will increasingly supplement this disclosure with consistent measures of recurring revenue, remaining performance obligations, and implementation activity. We are also introducing a metric we call contracted revenue. As of 30 June 2026, contracted revenue was approximately $60 million. We define this as revenue expected under existing signed agreements, plus our best estimate of change requests from those same customers and same agreements. It is not annual recurring revenue, not backlog, and of course not a guaranteed revenue floor. We will report this each quarter on a consistent basis, and our objective is to grow well above it through Transcend deployments, expansion within existing customers, selected new customers, and partnerships. Turning to gross profit. Gross profit increased 20.2% to $39.1 million, and gross margin expanded 330 basis points to 52.6%.

Speaker #3: Turning to gross profit, gross profit increased 20.2% to $39.1 million, and gross margin expanded 330 basis points to 52.6%. Operating income increased 98.4% to $6.9 million, with operating margin increasing from 5.3% to 9.3%.
Sardar Abubakr: Operating income increased 98.4% to $6.9 million, with operating margin increasing from 5.3% to 9.3%. These are the clearest indicators of improved execution. The results benefited from revenue mix, delivery leverage, and the capitalization of qualifying software development costs. We will provide investors with clearer visibility into total product development investment so that the underlying trend remains transparent. Non-GAAP EBITDA grew 22.8% to $8 million. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 68.8% to $9.15 million compared to $5.42 million. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to NETSOL increased 61% to approximately $6.01 million compared with $3.73 million. The prior year comparison has been recast to exclude foreign exchange gains and losses on a consistent basis. Reconciliations of all non-GAAP measures are included in today's earnings release. Net income attributable to NETSOL was $2.95 million or $0.25 per diluted share, consistent with the prior year.

Speaker #3: Net income attributable to NETSOL was $2.95 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, consistent with the prior year. This should be considered in the context of two significant movements.
Sardar Abubakr: This should be considered in the context of two significant movements. First, fiscal 2025 included a foreign exchange gain of $1.3 million and interest in investment income of $1.87 million. In fiscal 2026, we recorded a foreign exchange loss of $0.39 million and interest income of $1.07 million. Total other income was therefore approximately $2.27 million lower year over year. Second, income attributable to non-controlling interests increased by approximately $1 million to $2.65 million. Despite those headwinds below operating income level, consolidated net income increased 22.4% to $5.6 million. We believe that this bridge demonstrates that the underlying operating business improved materially this year, even though the improvement was not yet fully reflected in earnings attributable to NETSOL shareholders. Turning to net cash. Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.9 million compared with $0.4 million last year, and cash increased 56.3% to $27.1 million.

Speaker #3: As we indicated in our third quarter call, the working capital timing that reduced cash at March 31 reversed in the fourth quarter. This is a meaningful improvement in financial capacity.
Sardar Abubakr: As we indicated in our Q3 call, the working capital timing that reduced cash at 31 March reversed in the Q4. This is a meaningful improvement in financial capacity. Contract liabilities contributed approximately $6.5 million to operating cash flow, reflecting advanced billings and customer commitments. We do not assume that this working capital benefit will repeat, of course, at the same level year over year. During the year, we invested approximately $2 million in property and equipment and $2.7 million in capitalized software development. After these investments, the business still generated approximately $9.8 million of cash. We will remain disciplined in balancing product investment, liquidity, potential strategic transactions, and shareholder value. Supporting the four strategic priorities Najeeb outlined, our financial agenda for fiscal 2027 is quite straightforward.

Speaker #3: Grow recurring revenue and its visibility. Protect and improve margins. Apply AI in practical and measurable ways. Focus the portfolio on our highest return opportunities and strengthen the conversion of consolidated profit into value for NETSOL shareholders.
Sardar Abubakr: Grow recurring revenue and its visibility, protect and improve margins, apply AI in practical and measurable ways, focus the portfolio on our highest return opportunities, and strengthen the conversion of consolidated profit into value for NETSOL shareholders. We will apply AI where the outcomes are measurable, faster development and testing, less implementation effort, better support resolution, and automated back-office processes. That is part of a broader efficiency program that will continue through fiscal 2027. As of 30 June 2026, we employed approximately 1,370 people, compared with approximately 1,460 a year earlier, while revenue grew 12.5%. We are reviewing workforce structure, utilization, location strategy, and the skills an AI-embedded delivery model requires. This is not a headcount reduction exercise. It is a disciplined review of how we deploy people and direct capacity towards product innovation, customer delivery, and growth. We are also reviewing our portfolio for simplification.

Speaker #3: This is not a headcount reduction exercise. It is a disciplined review of how we deploy people and direct capacity towards product innovation, customer delivery, and growth.
Speaker #3: We are also reviewing our portfolio for simplification. This includes assessing products, legal entities, and activities against strategic fit, growth potential, margin, cash requirements, and management complexity.
Sardar Abubakr: This includes assessing products, legal entities, and activities against strategic fit, growth potential, margin, cash requirements, and management complexity. Capital will be directed to the core asset finance platform and close to core adjacencies where NETSOL has a defensible customer and domain advantage. A further strategic priority for us is evaluating minority interests in Pakistan. The Pakistan business is a major contributor to the company, but the increasing allocation of earnings to non-controlling interests does reduce how much of our consolidated performance reaches NETSOL shareholders. As we have said before, we are actively evaluating structural options to address this over time, subject to valuation, funding, regulatory and tax considerations, and the rights of minority shareholders.

Speaker #3: Please note that no transaction has been approved, and we cannot guarantee that our objectives will be achieved in the near or long term. We will communicate when a specific course of action is sufficiently developed.
Sardar Abubakr: Please note that no transaction has been approved, and we cannot guarantee that our objectives will be achieved in the near or long term, and we will communicate when a specific course of action is sufficiently developed. Our growth strategy combines organic execution and selective strategic partnerships, JVs, and acquisitions in core and close to core adjacencies. We will apply a strict criteria, product and customer fit, recurring revenue quality, margin and cash profile, integration complexity, and a clear return above our cost of capital. We will not pursue scale for its own sake. For fiscal 2027, NETSOL currently expects net revenues to grow 13% to 16% over fiscal 2026. Gross margin of approximately 50% or better. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA growth of 15% to 25%, corresponding to approximately $10.5 million to $11.4 million. This guidance assumes continued subscription growth, execution of contracted implementations, disciplined cost management, and no material acquisitions.

Speaker #3: While it's important to note that the timing of agreements. Implementation milestones, foreign exchange, customer decisions, and advanced billings can create variability between quarters. Our focus will be on full year execution and the quality of growth.
Sardar Abubakr: While it's important to note that the timing of agreements, implementation milestones, foreign exchange, customer decisions, and advanced billings can create variability between quarters, our focus will be on full year execution and the quality of growth. In summary, fiscal 2026 demonstrated that NETSOL can grow while expanding margins and generating cash. The next phase is to make that performance more predictable, more transparent, and more valuable to NETSOL shareholders. We will do that through recurring growth, disciplined execution, practical AI adoption, portfolio simplification, thoughtful structural action, and rigorous capital allocation. With that, operator, please open the line for questions.

Speaker #2: Morning. I just wanted to first touch on the '27 guidance for gross margins. I guess it's implying they're down a little bit year over year.
Greg Burns: Morning. Just wanted to first touch on the 2027 guidance for gross margins. I guess, it is implying down a little bit year over year. Is there going to be a shift in mix? What is driving that outlook for a little bit, reduction in gross margin?
Greg Burns: Morning. Just wanted to first touch on the 2027 guidance for gross margins. I guess, it is implying down a little bit year over year. Is there going to be a shift in mix? What is driving that outlook for a little bit, reduction in gross margin?
Speaker #2: Is there going to be a shift in mix or what what is driving that that outlook for a little bit reduction in gross margin?
Speaker #4: Thank you for the question. And do you want to jump in? Go ahead, Abu.
Sardar Abubakr: Thank you for the question. Abu, you want to jump in? Go ahead, Abu. Yes, Naj. I will take this. Thank you for the question. We are optimistic of our gross margin forecast. We believe that the guidance that we have given of 50% is a stable guidance. It is a guidance that wherever we go into new agreements and also review existing agreements, we do expect more than 50% gross margin in our business. You saw in the numbers that I quoted that we closed at a higher rate. We expect no reasons why we would not be able to achieve growth in this. The stable guidance that we would like to give the market today is that we will be at least 50% or better. As we progress quarter over quarter, we will continue to monitor and upgrade that guidance as needed.
Sardar Abubakr: Thank you for the question. Abu, you want to jump in? Go ahead, Abu. Yes, Naj. I will take this. Thank you for the question. We are optimistic of our gross margin forecast.

Speaker #2: Okay. Thanks for that. and then and with the the transition from least peak to transcend with BMO that you announced, when when you do a transition like that, I know you you mentioned you're moving from a maintenance to a subscription revenue, but is there any like revenue uplift or margin margin benefit?
Greg Burns: Okay. Thanks for that. With the transition from LeasePak to Transcend with BMO, that you announced, when you do a transition like that, I know you mentioned you are moving from a maintenance to a subscription revenue, but is there any revenue uplift or margin benefit? What are the additional benefits to transitioning from that legacy platform to Transcend for you?
Greg Burns: Okay. Thanks for that. With the transition from LeasePak to Transcend with BMO, that you announced, when you do a transition like that, I know you mentioned you are moving from a maintenance to a subscription revenue, but is there any revenue uplift or margin benefit? What are the additional benefits to transitioning from that legacy platform to Transcend for you?
Speaker #2: What are the additional benefits to transitioning from that legacy platform to Transcend for you?

Greg Burns: Okay. All right. Transcend Retail in the US, can you just give us a little bit more color on the pipeline and opportunity? I know you announced 3 dealers that launched maybe earlier this quarter. Could you just talk about the pipeline and why you won there, and what benefits you're bringing to the auto dealer market in the US?
Greg Burns: Okay. All right. Transcend Retail in the US, can you just give us a little bit more color on the pipeline and opportunity? I know you announced 3 dealers that launched maybe earlier this quarter. Could you just talk about the pipeline and why you won there, and what benefits you're bringing to the auto dealer market in the US?
Speaker #4: Mm-hmm.
Speaker #2: Give us a little bit more color on the pipeline and opportunity? I don't know you announced three dealers that that launched maybe earlier this this quarter, but could you just talk about the the pipeline and you know, why you won there and and what what benefits you're bringing to the to the auto dealer market in the US.
Speaker #4: Okay. So, I mean, we've got the digital retail space divided into two areas. The three dealers that you refer to are part of bigger dealer groups.
Asad Ghauri: We've got the digital retail space divided into two areas. The three dealers that you refer to are part of bigger dealer groups. They all carry more than 15 dealerships within the group. Our primary port of call is to ensure that we get the initiation right in these three dealers. With that, it opens up the other dealerships within the group. I said we have two focuses. One is tier 1 OEMs, which we're doing a rollout for, which is a 350, could potentially turn out to be more. That's a space that we have great engagement in. Lastly, on the DGG side, which is where we define dealership groups, that's where seeing the traction and you see those three dealers.

Speaker #4: So they all carry more than 15 dealerships within the group. So our primary port of call is to ensure that we get the initiation right in these three dealers, and with that, it opens up the other dealerships within the group.
Speaker #4: So I said we have two focuses. One is tier-one OEMs, which we're doing a rollout for, with which the 350 could potentially turn out to be more.
Speaker #4: So that's a space where we have great engagements. And lastly, on the D2G side, which is where we define dealership groups, that's where we're seeing the traction, and you see those three dealers.
Speaker #4: You'll see more coming on as we move forward in the year. With the potential of adding 20, 15 to 20 dealers average based on that go-live of that customer.
Asad Ghauri: You'll see more coming on as we move forward in the year with the potential of adding 15 to 20 dealers average based on that go live of that customer. If that makes sense. Yeah, that does. When we look across the three geographies that you're in,
Asad Ghauri: You'll see more coming on as we move forward in the year with the potential of adding 15 to 20 dealers average based on that go live of that customer. If that makes sense. Yeah, that does. When we look across the three geographies that you're in,
Speaker #4: If that makes sense.
Speaker #2: Yeah. That's that does. so when we look across the the three geographies that you're in where where do you expect the the most growth to see the most growth?
Greg Burns: where do you expect to see the most growth? Is it in the US with the
Greg Burns: where do you expect to see the most growth? Is it in the US with the
Speaker #2: Is it in the US with the retail part of the business or elsewhere?
Greg Burns: Yeah
Greg Burns: Yeah
Greg Burns: retail part of the business or no?
Greg Burns: retail part of the business or no?
Speaker #4: You know, for me, I think there's great momentum for us in all three regions right now. As we'd explained earlier, and I presented, our core focus in the US, besides Transcend Finance, is retail.
Najeeb Ghauri: For me, I think there is great momentum for us in all three regions right now. As we explained earlier and I presented that our core focus in the US besides Transcend Finance is retail, and we would like to execute there before moving on to other regions. Transcend Finance, on the other hand, is tracking really well, and you will see that in the coming weeks with some of the announcements that we make.
Najeeb Ghauri: For me, I think there is great momentum for us in all three regions right now. As we explained earlier and I presented that our core focus in the US besides Transcend Finance is retail, and we would like to execute there before moving on to other regions. Transcend Finance, on the other hand, is tracking really well, and you will see that in the coming weeks with some of the announcements that we make.

Todd Felty: Hey, congratulations on a great quarter. Nice to see the growth in revenues, margins, and earnings. I wanted to touch on the cash position. I saw it had grown to a little over $27 million, and in the past, you had talked about some M&A activity or possibly buying a full ownership of NetSol PK. I was just wondering if you could update us on that as well as if any share buybacks are going on.
Todd Felty: Hey, congratulations on a great quarter. Nice to see the growth in revenues, margins, and earnings. I wanted to touch on the cash position.

Speaker #5: And in the past, you had talked about some M&A activity or possibly buying full ownership of NETSOL PK. I was just wondering if you could give us an update on that, as well as if any share buybacks are going on.
Speaker #4: I think I can add a point that will come in. Absolutely. We are very pleased with our cash position, and the company is very conscious of opportunities, particularly in the US market, because we see a lot of opportunities, whether that's M&A or just new relationships.
Najeeb Ghauri: I think I can add a point, then Asad will come in. Absolutely, we are very pleased with our cash position, and the company is very conscious of opportunities, particularly in the US market, because we see a lot of opportunities, whether they are M&A or just new relationships.

Speaker #4: But I think assets can give you some more clarity about exactly how else he's thinking about really using this cash with Assad and Abu.
Speaker #3: Yeah, I—I think I'll...
Asad Ghauri: I think I will leave the cash part to our experts, Sardar Abubakr, that is. On the M&A side, I think there is definite interest. We are well-positioned, and we will keep the market informed as we see traction and positivity in those engagements. But they are ongoing. Sardar Abubakr, you want to take the cash, please?
Asad Ghauri: I think I will leave the cash part to our experts, Sardar Abubakr, that is. On the M&A side, I think there is definite interest.

Speaker #3: Sure, sure, sure, sure. So thank you for the question, Todd. Two aspects. One that I covered in my script: we are actively evaluating structural options when it comes to NETSOL Pakistan.
Sardar Abubakr: Sure. Thank you for the question, Todd. Two aspects. One, that I covered in my script. We are actively evaluating structural options when it comes to NetSol Pakistan. So that is number one. Number two, as I also mentioned in my script, we are evaluating what we call core or close-to-core adjacencies. US is our home market. We are committed to growing the US market at a significant rate, both through our flagship Transcend Finance platform, as you saw with the BMO deal, but also our big bet, which is Transcend Retail. In addition, given we also operate in Europe and APAC, we are selectively evaluating potential close-to-core adjacencies through partnerships and potential future acquisitions. As those discussions develop, we will consistently and transparently update the market.
Sardar Abubakr: Sure. Thank you for the question, Todd. Two aspects. One, that I covered in my script. We are actively evaluating structural options when it comes to NetSol Pakistan.

Speaker #3: The US is our home market. We are committed to growing the US market at a significant rate, both through our flagship Transcend Finance platform, as you saw with the BMO.
Speaker #3: Deal. But also, our big bet, which is Transcend Retail. In addition, given we also operate in Europe and APAC, we are selectively evaluating potential close-to-core adjacencies.
Speaker #3: Through partnerships and potential future acquisitions, as those discussions develop, we will consistently and transparently update the market. But rest assured, the cash position that you see will be used for growing our existing core business.
Sardar Abubakr: But rest assured, the cash position that you see will be used for growing our existing core business, investing in product innovation, becoming a nimble AI organization, but also inorganic opportunities as we see best suited to NETSOL.
Sardar Abubakr: But rest assured, the cash position that you see will be used for growing our existing core business, investing in product innovation, becoming a nimble AI organization, but also inorganic opportunities as we see best suited to NETSOL.
Speaker #3: We are investing in product innovation, becoming a nimble AI organization, but also considering inorganic opportunities as we see best suited to NETSOL.

Todd Felty: Okay. That's great to hear. Really appreciate the color on all that. Then, finally, just wanted to maybe get an update on investor relations. I know you've been doing some conferences. Is there any plans to have analyst coverage in the near future? I don't see any

Speaker #3: Sure, so I'll take that, Najeeb and Assad. We will be updating the market soon. We fully recognize that NETSOL is a stock that must have more consistent analyst coverage.
Sardar Abubakr: Sure. So I'll take that, Naj and Asad. We will be updating the market soon. We fully recognize that NETSOL as a stock must have more consistent analyst coverage, and not even one. Ideally, we should have coverage by more than one analyst. We have now finalized discussions with a reputed research analyst firm, and that coverage will start after this earnings call, and the process of that will complete. However, we are not stopping there. We believe, as I said, that multiple analyst coverage is the way to go to get our story out there. I think I'll leave you with one thing on this furthermore, Todd, and this is towards everyone who has dialed in. I encourage everyone to compare NETSOL's stock performance this year versus NASDAQ Composite, the software industry, and also our peers.
