## Cross-quarter narrative

Across eight earnings calls Sangoma moved from a FY24 guidance‑meeting phase into a deep transformation toward a pure‑play SaaS model. Early calls emphasized debt reduction, ERP rollout and multi‑product bundles, while later quarters highlighted the ERP’s completion, a >90% SaaS revenue mix and aggressive pipeline growth (up 39% QoQ and backlog +125%). Margin guidance improved modestly to 19% but managers repeatedly warned that pricing leverage and long sales cycles could blunt upside. Partner‑driven go‑to‑market and wholesale channel initiatives expanded, yet reliance on a concentrated partner base remained a recurring risk. International hardware‑centric revenue declined as the company divested VoIP Supply and pushed SaaS adoption abroad, creating margin and demand headwinds. Acquisition activity surfaced in 2025 Q3 and intensified with AI‑driven software targets in 2026, adding integration risk. Macro‑economic and geopolitical uncertainties persisted, influencing SMB spending and pricing pressure. Overall, the narrative shifted from execution of internal systems to scaling recurring revenue, managing longer deal cycles, and navigating external risks while continuing disciplined capital allocation.
