• AI revenue reached 29.3% of total company revenue, up ~60% YoY, and management says AI has become the core of the business reshaping offerings, talent and client relationships.
• Productized GAIN platforms, growing hyperscaler marketplace deployments and partner‑influenced revenue (19.1% in Q1, target 25–30%) are driving repeatable, higher‑margin go‑to‑market motions with forward‑deployed engineers.
• Non‑GAAP EBITDA narrowed to $12.5M (12%) and GAAP showed a $1.5M net loss; management cited FX headwinds (~$1.2M) and higher delivery costs, and cash fell to $327.5M despite $13.5M in buybacks.
