Management Commentary

“Our first quarter results reflect continued strong execution and further validate the scalability of our operating model. Total revenue increased 29% year over year to $20.7 million, and we delivered GAAP net income of $0.6 million alongside non-GAAP net income of $3.3 million. Importantly, we extended our streak of GAAP profitability to 10 consecutive quarters, despite absorbing acquisition related expenses and additional amortization expenses related to the intangible assets recorded in connection with the Estech Systems (“ESI”) acquisition, which are fully reflected in our GAAP results.” Said Jeff Korn, CEO and Chairman. “The ESI acquisition is performing ahead of our expectations and is already contributing meaningfully to both revenue and operational momentum. Integration is progressing well, with strong alignment across sales, operations, and engineering, and we are beginning to see early synergies that we expect to build on overtime. Our Q1 results only included 1 month of ESI contributions and I am excited about the impact we will see going forward from this significant acquisition.”

Korn added “From a profitability standpoint, our strong non-GAAP results better reflect the underlying performance of the business by excluding items such as share based compensation, acquisition related expenses, and depreciation and amortization including Acquisition related costs of $839,000 and amortization expense of $1.1 Million. These results highlight the strength of our core operations and our ability to scale efficiently while continuing to invest in growth initiatives. We also continued to enhance our platform during the quarter, improving functionality, user experience, and overall competitiveness. We released our Crexendo AI Receptionist/Orchestrator (CAIRO) during the quarter and are very pleased with the early response in the market, and we will be introducing further AI enhancements. We continue to see increasing traction in our marketplace and broader ecosystem, and we are strengthening our position as a long-term platform provider and expanding our opportunity set. While we remain disciplined given the broader macro environment, our combination of sustained double-digit growth, consistent profitability, and successful integration of acquisitions positions us well as we continue to scale. We believe these dynamics, together with improving operating leverage over time, create a compelling framework for long term value creation. We are clearly on a trajectory toward $100 million in annual revenue and remain confident in our ability to execute against that path while continuing to enhance the quality and durability of our earnings.”

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP”) net income and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income to be an important indicator of overall business performance because it allows us to evaluate results without the effects of share-based compensation and related taxes, acquisition related expenses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, amortization of intangibles, and goodwill and long-lived asset impairment. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) before interest expense, interest income and other expense/(income), the gain/(loss) on the sale of property and equipment, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, provision/(benefit) for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for acquisition related expenses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and share-based compensation and related taxes. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors’ use of operating performance comparisons from period to period, as well as across companies.

In our May 5, 2026 earnings press release, as furnished on Form 8-K, we included Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The terms Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income/(loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:

	·	EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
	·	they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
	·	they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;
	·	they do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;
	·	although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
	·	while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and
	·	other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management’s analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the SEC, we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
