Current thesis
Q1 showed double-digit revenue growth, billings acceleration, recurring revenue up 10.0%, gross margin expansion, and adjusted EBITDA up 31.5%; management reaffirmed FY27 revenue/EPS/EBITDA guidance and pointed to stronger U.S. momentum, which keeps a rerating path alive if subscription adoption and backlog conversion continue [#IR-2026-06-03].

What changed
