Second Quarter 2026 Business Highlights

Overview

AvePoint is a global provider of modern data protection, enabling organizations to secure, govern, and operationalize data at scale across major cloud ecosystems. Customers rely on the AvePoint Confidence Platform to reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate digital transformation as they adopt cloud collaboration and artificial intelligence (“AI”)-driven advanced tools and workflows.

As organizations embed AI into core business processes, data becomes both a strategic asset and a growing source of risk. AI can amplify the impact of poor data hygiene, including sensitive data exposure, compliance failures, and operational disruption. Enterprises increasingly require a modern data foundation where data is discoverable, classified, governed, protected, and recoverable by design.

Our solutions are designed to address four pervasive and interconnected enterprise data challenges:

By addressing these challenges through an integrated platform, we enable organizations to reduce risk, lower complexity, and accelerate time-to-value from their data.

2025 Business Highlights

Overview

AvePoint is the global leader in modern data protection, delivering a unified platform that enables organizations to secure, govern, and operationalize data at scale. Serving customers of all sizes across every major industry and geography, AvePoint addresses one of the most critical challenges facing enterprises today: how to safely unlock the value of data in a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (“AI”).

As organizations rapidly embed AI into their core business processes, data has become both their most valuable asset and their greatest source of risk. AI systems amplify the consequences of poor data hygiene: overexposed sensitive information, accelerating compliance failures, and an increased blast radius from breaches and operational disruptions. As a result, enterprises require a modern data foundation that ensures data is discoverable, classified, governed, protected, and recoverable by design.

The AvePoint Confidence Platform delivers this foundation. Purpose-built for today’s cloud-first environments, the platform addresses four pervasive and interconnected data challenges that directly impact enterprise risk, cost, and growth:

1. Legacy and fragmented data, which undermines visibility, governance, and AI readiness;

2. Overexposed data, which increases security, privacy, and regulatory risk;

3. Digital sprawl, which drives operational complexity and rising total cost of ownership; and

4. Data loss and interruption, which threaten business continuity and organizational resilience.

By solving these challenges through a single, integrated platform, AvePoint enables organizations to reduce risk, lower complexity, and accelerate time to value from their data. In an era where trusted data is a prerequisite for AI adoption, data protection is no longer a back-office IT function, it is a strategic business imperative.

Key Business Metric

Our management reviews the following key business metric to measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, make strategic decisions, and effectively allocate resources. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to this metric to evaluate progress against our growth strategies and gain additional transparency into performance trends.

Annual Recurring Revenue

We believe ARR enables measurement of our business performance, is an important metric for financial forecasting, and better enables us to make strategic business decisions. We calculate ARR as the annualized sum of contractually obligated Annual Contract Value (“ACV”) from SaaS, term license and support, and maintenance revenue sources from all active customers at the end of a reporting period.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, total ARR was $416.8 million and $327.0 million, respectively, representing growth of 27%. Adjusted for FX, total ARR increased 26% year-over-year.

Growth in ARR is driven by both new customer acquisition and the expansion of existing customer relationships. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or replace these items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, and the active contracts used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers.
