This change reflects an annualized dividend rate increase of 8% to $0.52 per share.

Changes in Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures

Effective January 1, 2025, the beginning of our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, we began including employer payroll taxes related to employee stock-based award transactions in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation for our Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussed below, which include Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share. We are excluding these payroll taxes from our non-GAAP results since they are tied to the timing and size of the vesting of the underlying stock-based awards and the price of our common stock at the time of vesting, which may vary from period to period independent of the operating performance of the Company.

Also effective January 1, 2025, we began using a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate of 20% for the purpose of determining our Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share to provide better consistency across interim reporting periods in fiscal 2025 and beyond. Given the significant growth of our Non-GAAP Net Income before income taxes in 2024, we believe this change is necessary to better reflect the performance of our business. We will continue to assess the appropriate non-GAAP tax rate on a regular basis, which could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix, or other changes to our strategy or business operations.

Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect these changes.

Financial Outlook

For the Full-Year 2026, the Company's following expectations include the pending acquisition of Build38:

• Software and services revenue to be in the range of $201 million to $204 million.
• Hardware revenue to be in the range of $43 million to $45 million.
• Total revenue to be in the range of $244 million to $249 million.
• ARR to be in the range of $192 million to $196 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $64 million to $68 million.

____________________________________________

1. ARR is calculated as the approximate annualized value of our customer recurring contracts as of the measurement date. These include subscription, term-based license, and maintenance and support contracts and exclude one-time fees. To the extent that we are negotiating a renewal with a customer within 90 days after the expiration of a recurring contract, we continue to include that revenue in ARR if we are actively in discussion with the customer for a new recurring contract or renewal and the customer has not notified us of an intention to not renew. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for additional information describing how we define ARR, including how ARR differs from GAAP revenue.
2. NRR is defined as the approximate year-over-year growth in ARR from the same set of customers at the end of the prior year period.
3. An explanation of the use of Non-GAAP financial measures is included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." A reconciliation of each Non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure has also been provided in the tables below. We are not providing a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because we are unable to predict certain items included in GAAP net income without unreasonable efforts.

Operating Segments

We report our financial results under the following two business divisions, which are our reportable operating segments: Cybersecurity and Digital Agreements.

• Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity, formerly Security Solutions, consists of our broad portfolio of software products, software development kits ("SDKs") and Digipass authenticator devices that are used to build applications designed to defend against attacks on digital transactions across online environments, devices, and applications. The software products and SDKs included in the Cybersecurity segment are delivered through on-premises and cloud-based deployment models and include standards-based authentication technologies such as Fast Identity Online ("FIDO") authentication and passkeys, multi-factor authentication, transaction signing solutions and mobile application security.
• Digital Agreements. Digital Agreements consists of solutions that enable our clients to secure and automate business processes associated with their digital agreement and customer transaction lifecycles that require consent, non-repudiation and compliance. These solutions, which are cloud-based, include OneSpan Sign e-signature, OneSpan Notary, and OneSpan Identity Verification.

Segment operating income (loss) consists of the revenues generated by a segment, less the direct costs of revenue, sales and marketing, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, restructuring and other related charges, and amortization of intangible assets expense that are incurred directly by a segment. Sales and marketing and research and development expenses were determined to be significant segment expenses. Unallocated corporate costs include costs related to administrative functions that are performed in a centralized manner that are not directly attributable to a particular segment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report financial results in accordance with GAAP. We also evaluate our performance using certain non-GAAP financial metrics, namely Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share. Our management believes that these measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial metrics, provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of our business, as further discussed in the descriptions of each of these non-GAAP metrics below.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives or substitutes for the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful for the purposes described below, they have limitations associated with their use, since they exclude items that may have a material impact on our reported results and may be different from similar measures used by other companies. Additional information about the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appear below.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense, restructuring and other related charges, and certain non-recurring items, including acquisition related costs, rebranding costs, and non-routine shareholder matters. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial metric. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a simplified measure of performance for use in communicating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA presents a view of our operating results that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense, restructuring costs and other related costs, and certain other non-recurring items, we are able to evaluate performance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers' requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense, non-routine shareholder matters), deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest, one-time strategic action costs, restructuring costs, impairment charges) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). In addition, removing the impact of these items helps us compare our core business performance with that of our competitors.

Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share

We define Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share as net income or net income per diluted share, as applicable, before the consideration of long-term incentive compensation expenses, the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs, and certain other non-recurring items. We use these measures to assess the impact of our performance excluding items that can significantly impact the comparison of our results between periods and the comparison to competitor results.

We exclude long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense because our long-term incentives generally reflect the use of restricted stock unit grants or cash incentive grants, including incentives directly tied to the performance of the business, while other companies may use different forms of incentives that have different cost impacts, which makes comparison difficult. We exclude amortization of intangible assets as we believe the amount of such expense in any given period may not be correlated directly to the performance of the business operations and that such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions, the full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets, or the write down of such assets due to an impairment event. However, intangible assets contribute to current and future revenue, and related amortization expense will recur in future periods until expired or written down.

We also exclude certain non-recurring items including one-time strategic action costs and non-recurring shareholder matters, as these items are unrelated to the operations of our core business. By excluding these items, we are better able to compare the operating results of our underlying core business from one reporting period to the next.

We use a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate of 20% for the purpose of determining our Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share to provide better consistency across interim reporting periods. We will assess the appropriate non-GAAP tax rate on a regular basis, which could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix, or other changes to our strategy or business operations.
