HUNTSVILLE, Alabama, August 12, 2026 -- Octave Intelligence plc (Nasdaq New York: OCTV and Nasdaq Stockholm: OCTV SDB), today announced financial results for the second quarter 2026, ended June 30, 2026.
"Our second quarter results reflect the continued momentum we are building as a newly independent company, with ARR of $1,143 million, up 7% year-over-year, and SaaS revenue growth of 21%," said Mattias Stenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Octave.
"We are moving faster and investing with focus, delivering strong free cash flow in the quarter while executing on our go-to-market priorities and deepening the platform and agentic capabilities that make our customers' operating context more valuable to them. The deliberate shift in our business model means recurring revenue growth and ARR are the better indicators of underlying performance than reported total revenue. We remain confident in the path and the medium-term financial objectives we shared at our March investor day"

Recent Business Highlights
- In July, Octave launched Octave CoLabs, a collaborative innovation program that pairs Octave's product and technical leadership with customer teams to build agentic AI workflows on customers' own operational data. Initial participants include Bechtel and Fluor.
- In May, Octave completed its separation from Hexagon AB and its Class B ordinary shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in New York under the ticker symbol "OCTV," and its Swedish Depositary Receipts commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker symbol “OCTV SDB”. This marked the culmination of a multi-year process to establish Octave as an independent, pure-play enterprise software company serving asset-intensive industries and the public sector.
- In May, Octave announced it acquired VXG Inc., a provider of enterprise-grade, cloud-native video management software, to strengthen its physical security portfolio and build upon AI-enhanced cloud capabilities in its Protect workflow environment, expanding its software offerings for protecting people, places, and assets.
Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2026, total cash and cash equivalents was $304 million and total debt was $644 million.
Second quarter financial results include non-cash impairment charges totaling $2,135 million, recorded in Other operating expense (income), net. Following the commencement of regular-way trading of the Company's Class B Ordinary Shares, Octave's market capitalization remained below the Company carrying value on its consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2026. Management considered this to be a triggering event requiring an interim goodwill impairment assessment as of June 30, 2026, resulting in a $1,671 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge. Separately, in connection with the approval of the spin-off and the phase-out of legacy brands and the transition to a unified Octave brand, the Company reassessed the useful lives and fair value of its trademarks, resulting in a $464 million non-cash impairment charge and a change from indefinite to finite useful lives.
These charges did not result in any current cash expenditure and did not affect the Company's cash flows or compliance with the financial covenants under the Company's Credit Agreement, nor are they indicative of any changes to the operating outlook for the business.
Consistent with the Company's definitions of its non-GAAP measures, impairment charges are excluded from Adjusted income from operations, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share.

DEFINITIONS OF KEY BUSINESS METRICS
We believe the presentation of key business metrics provides incremental useful information to investors regarding our results of operations. To the extent material, we disclose below the additional purposes, if any, for which our management uses these key business metrics. Our key business metrics may vary significantly from period-to-period for reasons unrelated to our operating performance and may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These metrics are based on management calculations derived from available operational data.
Recurring revenues includes monthly subscription licenses, SaaS-based subscriptions and maintenance subscriptions.
Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) is a key business metric we use to evaluate the scale and growth of our business as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our business. ARR represents the annualized value of recurring revenue from our subscription licenses, SaaS-based subscriptions and maintenance subscriptions. It excludes revenue from perpetual software licenses, non-recurring services and other revenues. The company calculates ARR as the sum of: (i) the annualized value of monthly recurring revenue recognized from SaaS-based subscriptions and maintenance subscriptions in the last month of the most recently completed quarter, plus (ii) the annualized value of recurring revenue recognized from subscription licenses in the most recently completed quarter.
EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Below are definitions and reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a more meaningful measure of company performance period-to-period, align the measures to how management evaluates performance internally, and make it easier for investors to compare our performance to peers. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial measures we use are as follows:
Adjusted Income from Operations - Income (Loss) from Operations
Adjusted income from operations is defined as Income (loss) from operations adjusted for amortization of acquired intangibles; amortization of developed technologies; stock-based compensation expense; impairment charges; acquisition costs and charges; restructuring charges; stand-up costs; and select other non-recurring items.
Adjusted Operating Margin - Operating Margin
Adjusted operating margin is defined as Operating margin adjusted for amortization of acquired intangibles; amortization of developed technologies; stock-based compensation expense; impairment charges; acquisition costs and charges; restructuring charges; stand-up costs; and select other non-recurring items.
Adjusted Net Income - Net Income (Loss)
Adjusted net income is defined as Net income (loss) adjusted for amortization of acquired intangibles; amortization of developed technologies; stock-based compensation expense; impairment charges; acquisition costs and charges; restructuring charges; stand-up costs; select other non-recurring items; and a corresponding adjustment to income tax expense for the impact of these adjustments.
Adjusted Earnings per share - Earnings per share
Adjusted earnings per share is defined as Adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period, presented on a diluted basis.
Free Cash Flow - Cash Flow from Operations
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations net of capital expenditures, including purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of software development costs. These expenditures consist primarily of facility improvements, office equipment, computer equipment, and software development costs. We believe that free cash flow, in conjunction with cash from operations, is a useful measure of liquidity since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures.
Free Cash Flow Margin - Cash Flow from Operations Margin
Free cash flow margin is defined as free cash flow divided by revenue. We believe that free cash flow margin, in conjunction with cash from operations and free cash flow, is a useful measure of liquidity since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures.
Description of Adjustments
Amortization of acquired intangibles and amortization of developed technologies are non-cash expenses that are impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions and additions to developed technologies. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of other companies in our industry.
Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense relating to equity-based awards issued to executive officers, employees and outside directors, consisting of performance share awards. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of other companies in our industry.
Impairment charges are non-cash expenses related to long-lived assets for which it was determined the carrying value of such assets was partially or fully unrecoverable. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of other companies in our industry.
Acquisition costs and charges are direct costs of potential and completed acquisitions and expenses related to acquisition integration activities, including transaction fees, due diligence costs, severance and professional fees. Subsequent adjustments to our initial estimated amount of contingent consideration associated with specific acquisitions are also included within acquisition costs and charges. The occurrence and amount of these costs and charges varies depending on the timing and size of acquisitions and subsequent adjustments to our initial estimated amount of contingent consideration. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding these costs and charges is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of other companies in our industry.
Restructuring charges include excess facility restructuring costs; impairment and accretion expenses related to the lease assets of exited facilities; sublease income from previously impaired facilities; severance charges resulting from employee reduction actions; and third-party professional consulting fees related to modifications of our business strategy. These charges vary in size based on restructuring plans and duration. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of other companies in our industry.
Stand-up costs include expenses associated with the spin-off and stand up of functions required to operate as a standalone public entity, these costs primarily relate to system implementation expenses, legal and consulting costs, development of our brand and other matters. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of other companies in our industry.
Other non-recurring items include selected costs and charges that do not naturally conform to one of the adjustments above, including certain litigation matters net of expected insurance recoveries. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding these costs and charges is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of other companies in our industry.
Income tax adjustments include the tax impact of the items excluded from Adjusted net income.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures, and we believe that they assist our investors, to make period-to-period comparisons of our operational performance because they provide a view of our operating results and cash flows without items that are not, in our view, indicative of our core operating results. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, help illustrate underlying trends in our business, and we use the measures to establish budgets and operational goals (communicated internally and externally) for managing our business and evaluating our performance. We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures also affords investors a view of our operating results and cash flows that may be more easily compared to the results of other companies in our industry that use similar financial measures to supplement their U.S. GAAP results.
The items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures often have a material impact on our financial results, certain of those items are non-recurring, and other such items often recur. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures included herein should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following tables reconcile each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most closely comparable U.S. GAAP measure on our financial statements.
Guidance for adjusted financial measures excludes amortization of acquired intangibles, amortization of developed technologies, stock-based compensation expense, impairment charges, acquisition costs and charges, restructuring charges, stand-up costs, other non-recurring items and related tax impacts.
Octave has not provided forecasts of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures because certain items required to calculate those U.S. GAAP measures are outside of the company's control or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort. With respect to Adjusted operating margin and Adjusted earnings per share, these items include the adjustment items described above. With respect to Free cash flow margin, the Company is unable to reasonably predict future operating cash flows, capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs without unreasonable effort. Accordingly, reconciliations of the forecasts of Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted earnings per share, Free cash flow margin, and organic constant currency growth to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures have not been provided. The excluded items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Constant Currency
Constant currency is a non-GAAP financial measure that presents our revenue excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. A significant amount of our operations is conducted in foreign currencies. As a result, the comparability of the financial results reported in U.S. dollars is affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We use constant currency to evaluate the underlying performance of the business, and we believe it is helpful for investors to present operating results on a comparable basis period-over-period to evaluate our underlying performance.
In reporting period-over-period results, we calculate the effects of foreign currency fluctuations and constant currency information by translating current and prior period results on a functional currency basis to our reporting currency using the prior period average foreign currency exchange rates from which the transaction occurred.
Reconciliation of revenue to revenue in constant currency for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026:

Organic Constant Currency Growth - Revenue Growth
Organic constant currency growth presents period-over-period revenue growth excluding both the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (as described under Constant Currency above) and the impact of revenue attributable to businesses acquired or divested during the current or comparative period. We believe organic constant currency growth is useful to investors because it presents revenue growth from our existing operations on a comparable basis period-over-period.
