"In Q1, we beat our Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance midpoints," said Jack McDonald, Upland's chairman and chief executive officer. "We continued to see some nice, sizable product wins, including with our AI-enabled products. We are excited about the progress we are seeing on our growth plans with increasing Core Organic Growth Rate and Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion throughout 2025."
First Quarter Business Highlights
We welcomed 107 new customers to Upland in the first quarter, including 19 new major customers. We also expanded relationships with 245 existing customers, 26 of which were major expansions. These new and expanded relationships occurred across our AI-powered product portfolio.
We earned 76 badges in G2's Spring 2025 market reports across our solutions. Upland BA Insight, our AI enablement product, received valuable recognitions, along with Upland InterFAX, an AI-enabled cloud fax service.

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we sold our mobile messaging product lines. With this divestiture, we have sharpened the focus of Upland on markets where we have the strongest competitive advantage, higher margins, and higher growth. Additionally, excluding these divestitures, our Net Dollar Retention Rate for our Core business as of December 31, 2024 would have been 99% compared to our reported 96%.
Business Outlook
The sale of our mobile messaging product lines lowered our 2025 total revenue guidance midpoint by approximately $25.0 million but had no impact on our Adjusted EBITDA guidance midpoint.
For the quarter ending June 30, 2025, Upland expects reported total revenue to be between $50.3 and $56.3 million, including subscription and support revenue between $47.5 and $52.5 million, for a decline in total revenue of 23% at the midpoint from the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $12.1 and $15.1 million, which at the midpoint is flat from the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be 26% at the midpoint, which is a significant increase from 20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
For the full year ending December 31, 2025, Upland expects reported total revenue to be between $209.5 and $227.5 million, including subscription and support revenue between $197.5 and $212.5 million, for a decline in total revenue of 20% at the midpoint from the year ended December 31, 2024. Full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $55.0 and $64.0 million, which at the midpoint is an increase of 7% from the year ended December 31, 2024. Full year Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be 27% at the midpoint, which is a significant increase from 20% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, Core Organic Growth Rate, and Free Cash Flow.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results, such as our revenues excluding the impact for foreign currency fluctuations or our operating performance excluding not only non-cash charges, but also discrete cash charges that are infrequent in nature. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the tables provided below in this release.
We are unable to reconcile any forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their directly comparable GAAP financial measures because the information which is needed to complete a reconciliation is unavailable at this time without unreasonable effort. Additionally, we are unable to quantify the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations on components of our income statement beyond revenues because the information which is needed to do so is unavailable at this time without unreasonable effort.
Upland defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, other expense (income), net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, non-recurring litigation costs, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue, loss on divestitures and impairment of goodwill.
Upland defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus amortization of purchased intangible assets, amortization of debt discount, loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, non-recurring litigation expenses, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue, non-recurring effects of provision for income tax, loss on divestitures, impairment of goodwill and the related tax effect of the adjustments above.
Upland defines Free Cash Flow as GAAP operating cash flow less purchases of property and equipment.
Upland defines major accounts as accounts with greater than or equal to $25,000 in annual recurring revenue.
Upland defines major expansions as existing customers who expanded the amount of annual recurring revenue under their contract by at least $25,000.
Upland defines cash gross margin as product revenue less subscription and support cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization.
Upland defines Net Dollar Retention Rate as the aggregate annualized recurring revenue at the end of a twelve-month period from those customers that were also customers at the beginning of the twelve-month period, divided by the aggregate annualized recurring revenue value from all customers at the beginning of the twelve-month period. This measure excludes the revenue value of Overage Charges, divestitures, and our Sunset Assets upon designation.
In connection with periodic reviews of our business, we have decided to discontinue the availability of certain non-strategic product offerings and a limited number of non-strategic customer contracts (collectively referred to as 'Sunset Assets').
Overage Charges are subscription and support revenues earned in addition to contractual minimum customer commitments as a result of the usage volume of services including text and e-mail messaging and third-party pass-through costs that exceed the levels stipulated in contracts with the Company.
Upland defines Core as our ongoing business operation, excluding Sunset Assets and divestitures.
Upland defines Core Organic Growth Rate as the percentage change between two reported periods in Core Organic Revenue (subscription and support revenue, excluding subscription and support revenue from Sunset Assets, divestitures, and Overage Charges). We calculate our year-over-year Core Organic Growth Rate as though all acquisitions or divestitures closed as of the end of the latest period were closed as of the first day of the prior year period presented. Core Organic Growth Rate does not represent actual organic revenue generated by our business as it stood at the beginning of the respective period.

Consolidated Water Co Ltd (CWCO) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Strong Revenue Growth and ...
Release Date: August 12, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Consolidated Water Co Ltd (NASDAQ:CWCO) reported a 3% increase in total revenues for Q2 2025, with a notable 23% rise in fully diluted earnings per share from continuing operations compared to the previous year. The retail and manufacturing segments showed strong performance, with revenue increases of 6% and 33% respectively, driven by higher water sales and increased production of higher margin products. The company successfully completed an expansion of its West Bay seawater desalination plant, adding an additional 1 million gallons per day of production capacity to meet growing demand in Grand Cayman. Consolidated Water Co Ltd (NASDAQ:CWCO) increased its quarterly cash dividend by 27% to $0.14 per share, reflecting strong financial health and commitment to returning value to shareholders. The company has a strong balance sheet with cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $112.2 million as of June 30, 2025, providing ample liquidity for future investments and growth opportunities. Negative Points The Caribbean-based bulk water segment experienced a slight revenue decline due to lower fuel pass-through charges, although profitability improved due to plant efficiencies and reduced operating costs. The services segment saw a decrease in revenue, primarily due to the completion of the pilot plant testing phase of the Hawaii project, leading to reduced project expenditures until construction begins. The construction phase of the Hawaii project faces potential delays due to permits required from the client, which are outside of Consolidated Water Co Ltd (NASDAQ:CWCO)'s control. The company reported a decrease in net income and EPS from 2024 to 2025 due to discontinued operations, specifically the gain on the sale of land and project documentation for a discontinued project in Mexico. The Bahamas government has been slow in paying their bills, although there have been recent improvements in payment schedules. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Sign with CWCO. Q: Can you provide an overview of the market opportunities for Consolidated Water Co Ltd in the Caribbean and the U.S., particularly for PERC and REC? A: (CEO, Rick McTaggart) In the U.S., particularly in the West and Southwest, there is continued interest in wastewater projects driven by developments and small industrial projects. These projects range from $10 to $30 million in size. In California, the focus is on O&M contract renewals. In Colorado, we see opportunities for upgrades and expansions of wastewater and water treatment facilities, especially north of Denver. In the Caribbean, we are focused on the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas, with new projects like the Cat Island plants in the Bahamas. Q: How does the expansion of the Air X facility in Fort Pierce impact your manufacturing capabilities? A: (CEO, Rick McTaggart) The expansion will significantly increase our capacity by freeing up shop floor space for higher throughput on fabrication. This allows us to take on larger projects and increase revenue from the manufacturing business. The additional space will enable complex assembly work without occupying welder space, enhancing overall efficiency. Q: What is the status of the Hawaii seawater desalination project, and what permits are still required? A: (CEO, Rick McTaggart) We are waiting on two major permits: an archaeological permit, which involves ensuring no historical artifacts are affected, and a health department approval for the water supply. The archaeological studies are complete, and we are working through the regulatory process. The design is nearly finished, and we expect to submit it for health department approval soon. Q: Can you discuss the progress on the receivables from the Bahamas government? A: (CEO, Rick McTaggart) We have made progress in discussions with the Bahamas government, and they have committed to scheduled payments to bring the account current. We are optimistic about reducing the receivable in the coming months, although it is not yet reflected in the current financials. Q: With a strong cash position and expected cash generation, how do you plan to allocate capital moving forward? A: (CEO, Rick McTaggart) We are actively pursuing M&A opportunities and exploring public-private partnership projects to address water shortages in the Southwest and Texas. Our strong cash position gives us an advantage in these long-term investments. We also raised the dividend last quarter and will continue to evaluate ways to return value to shareholders.
