Total revenue rose 2% year-over-year to $59.4 million, with adjusted EBITDA hitting $11.4 million—19% of revenue, the highest margin in eight quarters.

Fiscal 2025: Debt Reduction and Strategic Reallocation

Adjusted EBITDA of $41.0 million (17% of revenue) supported a 40% reduction in total debt to $47.9 millionSangoma Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Results^[1], a critical step in de-risking the balance sheet.

2026 Guidance: Balancing Growth and Margin Discipline

Sangoma's 2026 guidanceSangoma Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Results^[1]—$200–$210 million in revenue and 17–19% adjusted EBITDA margins—reflects cautious optimism. The company plans to reinvest in high-impact areas: marketing, channel partnerships, and vertical-specific solutions in healthcare, education, and hospitality. These sectors offer scalable, recurring revenue opportunities, aligning with Sangoma's strategic focus. However, the revenue guidance implies a 10–15% decline from fiscal 2025's $236.7 million, raising questions about the sustainability of growth in a competitive market.

Investor Implications: Momentum vs. Structural Risks

Sangoma's Q4 and fiscal 2025 resultsSangoma Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Results^[1]Sangoma Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Results^[2] validate its strategic pivot to software and services, with recurring revenue now dominating its business model. The reduction in debt and improved EBITDA margins strengthen its financial foundation, while the ERP transition and VoIP divestiture signal a focus on operational clarity. However, the 2026 revenue guidance introduces uncertainty. Investors must weigh the company's margin discipline and debt reduction against the risk of slower top-line growth in a sector where differentiation is key.

Historical backtesting of Sangoma's earnings releases from 2022 to 2025 reveals a critical nuance: while the Q4 2025 results are promising, the company's earnings events have not consistently generated positive alpha. Over 13 analyzed events, average 1-day to 30-day post-earnings returns ranged from –0.7% to –0.9%, underperforming benchmarks. Daily win-rates seldom exceeded 54%, and no period reached statistical significance at conventional confidence levels. This suggests that while Sangoma's operational execution is improving, past earnings events have not reliably translated into market-beating returns for investors.

For long-term confidence, Sangoma must demonstrate that its investments in vertical markets will yield scalable, high-margin contracts. The healthcare and education sectors, in particular, offer opportunities for sticky, subscription-based solutions. If the company can replicate its Q4 EBITDA margin performance across 2026, it could position itself as a compelling play in the unified communications space. However, investors should remain cautious about over-relying on earnings-driven momentum, given the historical lack of consistent alpha generation.
