Reports 14% Increase in ARR to $21.8 Million, Net Income of $547,000 and 36% Year-over-Year Growth in Adjusted EBITDAHENDERSON, Nev., Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Research Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: RSSS), the leading AI-powered research workflow platform, reported financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2025.
Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Summary (compared to prior-year quarter)Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR") up 14% to $21.8 million, which includes approximately $15.3 million of B2B ARR and $6.4 million of B2C ARR.Forty-seven net new deployments in the quarter reflect one of our best results and sustained momentum in new B2B customer acquisition.Net income of $547,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $2.0 million or ($0.07) per share.Adjusted EBITDA increased 36% to $1.3 million. On a trailing twelve-month ("TTM") basis, the Company has now generated Adjusted EBITDA of $5.8 million or 11.8% of revenue for the same period.Net B2B ARR growth of $560,000 represents the best organic second quarter performance in Company history.Gross profit up 6% to $6.2 million. Total gross margin improved 350 basis points to 52.4%.Platform revenue up 14% to $5.2 million. Platform revenue accounted for 44% of total revenue as compared to 39% in the prior-year quarter.Total revenue was $11.8 million compared to $11.9 million in the prior year, as strong B2B revenue growth has not yet fully offset softness in transactions revenue."Our second quarter results reflect strong growth within our B2B Platforms business through forty-seven net new deployments in the quarter and Platforms continues to represent a larger portion of our total revenue mix. In addition, the average sales price for our Platform increased more than six percent year-over-year as we signed larger deals and as existing customers adopt more of our SaaS and AI solutions," said Roy W. Olivier, President and CEO of Research Solutions. "Our business continues to generate strong operating cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA, allowing us to reinvest in sales and marketing to accelerate growth while maintaining financial flexibility. We continue to manage the business with a long-term focus to drive value for our shareholders."Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 ResultsTotal revenue was $11.8 million, compared to $11.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Platform revenue growth was offset by a decline in transactions revenue.Platform subscription revenue for the quarter was $5.2 million, a 14% year-over-year increase from the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to organic growth in the core B2B platform, due to a mix of new logo generation as well as upsells and cross-selling into existing customers. The quarter ended with annual recurring revenue of $21.8 million, up 14% year-over-year (see the Company's definition of annual recurring revenue below).Transaction revenue was $6.6 million, compared to $7.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was due to the impact of a known customer that churned earlier and a few larger customers that saw significant declines in volume. The transaction active customer count for the quarter was 1,321, compared to 1,384 customers in the prior-year quarter (see the Company's definition of active customer accounts and transactions below).Total gross margin improved 350 basis points from the prior-year quarter to 52.4%. The increase was primarily driven by the continued revenue mix shift to the higher-margin Platforms business, including the expansion of the gross margin for that business.Total operating expenses were $5.4 million, compared to $5.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily related to reduced general and administrative and stock-based compensation expenses offset in part by increased sales and marketing expenses. Net income in the fiscal second quarter was $547,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2 million, or ($0.07) per share, in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.3 million, compared to $963,000 in the year-ago quarter (see definition and further discussion about the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, below).Conference Call

*Annual Recurring Revenue (Non-GAAP Measure) - the value of contracted platform subscription recurring revenue normalized to a one year period.
For B2C, this includes the annualized value of monthly subscriptions, meaning their monthly value multiplied by 12.
Active Customer Accounts, Transactions and Annual Recurring RevenueThe Company defines active customer accounts as the sum of the total quantity of customers per month for each month in the period divided by the respective number of months in the period. The quantity of customers per month is defined as customers with at least one transaction during the month.A transaction is an order for a unit of copyrighted content fulfilled or managed in the Platform.The Company defines annual recurring revenue ("ARR") as the value of contracted Platform subscription recurring revenue normalized to a one-year period. For B2C ARR, this includes the annualized value of monthly subscriptions, meaning their monthly value multiplied by twelve.Use of Non-GAAP Measure – Adjusted EBITDAResearch Solutions' management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various financial metrics. In addition to the Company's GAAP results, management also considers the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information about the Company's operating results.The tables below provide a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense, other expense, foreign currency transaction (gain) loss, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and other potential adjustments that may arise. Set forth below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss):
