Read full summary
OneSpan delivered Q2 revenue of $60.466 million, up 1% year over year, as 25% Digital Agreements growth and higher subscription revenue offset a 7% Cybersecurity decline. Gross margin improved 1 percentage point to 74%, but operating income fell 17% to $8.741 million and diluted GAAP EPS declined to $0.18, reflecting higher headcount, acquisition-related costs, and lower Cybersecurity volume. Liquidity remains adequate according to management, but cash declined to $43.337 million after the $34.554 million Build38 acquisition, capital returns, and a $5.000 million revolver draw.

What stood out
-
Subscription growth supports modest revenue growth
Q2 revenue was $60.466 million, up $0.623 million, or 1%, from $59.843 million a year ago. Subscription revenue increased $4.578 million to $46.709 million, offsetting declines in hardware and perpetual maintenance/services revenue.
-
Digital Agreements accelerated profitably
Digital Agreements revenue grew 25% year over year to $19.538 million and segment operating income rose to $6.972 million from $2.879 million. Its gross margin expanded to 75% from 71%, driven by existing-customer expansions, overage fees, and lower cloud infrastructure costs.
-
Recurring-revenue indicators improved
ARR increased 7% to $189.7 million at June 30, 2026 from $177.8 million, while net retention improved to 103% from 101%. Foreign exchange rates added approximately $1.4 million to ARR.
-
Gross margin expanded and cash generation remained positive
Gross margin improved to 74% from 73% despite higher cloud-related costs. Six-month operating cash flow remained strong at $28.069 million, although below $35.583 million in the prior-year period.
-
Contracted revenue base remains meaningful
The company reported $100.043 million of remaining performance obligations at June 30, 2026, including $35.889 million expected to be recognized during 2026 and $40.864 million in 2027.
What to watch
-
Cybersecurity hardware weakness pressured earnings
Cybersecurity revenue fell 7% year over year to $40.928 million, as lower hardware-device volume drove hardware revenue down to $11.439 million from $14.015 million. Cybersecurity operating income declined 30% to $13.819 million.
-
Operating profitability and EPS declined
GAAP operating income declined 17% to $8.741 million from $10.506 million, reducing operating margin to 14.5% from 17.6%. Diluted GAAP EPS fell to $0.18 from $0.21; sequentially, revenue fell from $65.947 million in Q1 to $60.466 million in Q2.
-
Acquisition and capital returns reduced cash
Cash and equivalents fell $27.162 million from $70.499 million at December 31, 2025 to $43.337 million, following $34.554 million of net cash paid for the Build38 acquisition, $8.297 million of share repurchases, and $9.834 million of dividends paid in the first half.
-
Liquidity cushion and working capital narrowed
The company drew $5.000 million on its $100.0 million revolving credit facility, versus no borrowings at December 31, 2025. Working capital decreased to $31.373 million from $57.642 million, including a $15.555 million reduction in receivables.
-
No material risk-factor updates
There were no material changes or additions to risk factors versus the 2025 Form 10-K filed February 26, 2026. Existing disclosed risks therefore remain in effect rather than being newly resolved or reduced.
Management's outlook
The 10-Q contains no quantitative revenue, EPS, or EBITDA outlook. MD&A says management seeks profitable, efficient growth with emphasis on subscription revenue and believes its financial resources are adequate for the next 12 months; quantitative outlook was deferred to communications outside this filing.
