What they do

Revenue drivers

• Cloud subscription revenue — The largest growth driver; Q2 2026 revenue was $126.7 million, up 26% year-over-year, and represents 43% of total Q2 revenue.
• Services revenue — Includes deployment, consulting, and customer support; Q2 2026 revenue was $133.0 million, up from $128.9 million in Q2 2025, and represents 45% of total revenue.
• Software license and maintenance — Legacy perpetual license and maintenance revenue; not broken out in the latest release but remains part of the total revenue mix.

Recent performance

For Q2 2026 (ended June 30, 2026), total revenue was $297.8 million, up from $272.4 million in Q2 2025. GAAP diluted EPS was $0.85, down from $0.93, while adjusted diluted EPS rose to $1.39 from $1.31. Operating cash flow was $90.7 million in Q2, up from $74.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue was $580.0 million, and adjusted EPS was $2.62 versus $2.50 in the prior-year period. Remaining performance obligations (RPO) reached $2.47 billion as of June 30, 2026.

Strategy

Management emphasizes its cloud-first, versionless architecture as a key differentiator, with quarterly innovation updates and AI-driven insights. The company is investing in targeted go-to-market initiatives to gain share in the large supply chain commerce market. It is also returning capital to shareholders, having repurchased 1,917,341 shares for $275.0 million in the first half of 2026, with a $500 million board-authorized buyback program. Recent 8-K filings indicate cost-disposal events and leadership changes, but no specific strategic pivots were disclosed.

Risks

• Macroeconomic volatility — Global economic uncertainty could pressure customer spending on supply chain software and delay deals, as acknowledged by management.
• Cloud transition margin pressure — The ongoing shift from license to subscription revenue may compress GAAP operating margins; GAAP operating income fell year-over-year in Q2 2026 despite revenue growth.
• Competition and innovation — Rivals in supply chain and commerce software could erode Manhattan's market position if product differentiation fails to sustain.
• Dependence on services execution — Services revenue is a large part of total revenue; any shortage of skilled deployment resources could hamper implementations and customer satisfaction.

Outlook

Management expressed confidence in business momentum despite macro volatility, citing a third consecutive record bookings quarter and accelerating revenue growth. They expect continued market share gains in the large supply chain commerce market. No specific annual guidance was provided in the excerpts.
