“We launched multiple products in fiscal 2026, including new AI based products. Two of the AI products, Scite MCP and Article Galaxy MCP, allow researchers to utilize the unique functionality of Scite and Article Galaxy inside ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and any AI tools researchers already use. This is part of our strategy to support our users where they work and has resulted in us building a large pipeline of AI related revenue opportunities in FY27." said Roy W. Olivier, President and CEO of Research Solutions. "Platform revenue grew to 43% of total revenue, up from 39% in fiscal 2025. That mix shift expanded gross margin and helped us more than double net income for the full year in a challenging market. With a strong cash position and Adjusted EBITDA posture, we're well-positioned to continue investing in internally developed tools and to pursue strategic M&A that complements our current offerings.”

Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2026 Results

Total revenue was $12.1 million, compared to $12.4 million in the year-ago quarter, as increased platform revenue was more than offset by a decrease in transaction revenue.

Platform subscription revenue for the quarter was $5.3 million, compared to $5.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase was driven by a 14% increase in B2B platform ARR, due to a mix of new logo generation and upsell and cross-sells into the existing customer base, partially offset by a decline in B2C ARR.

The quarter ended with ARR of $22.5 million, up 7.8% year-over-year as B2B ARR increases more than offset a modest decline in B2C ARR (see the Company’s definition of annual recurring revenue below).

Transaction revenue was $6.8 million, compared to $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease was due to lower paid order volume. The transaction active customer count for the quarter was 1,323, compared to 1,338 customers in the prior-year quarter (see the Company's definition of active customer accounts and transactions below).

Total gross margin improved 200 basis points from the prior-year quarter to 53.0%. 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 $5.6 million, compared to $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The incre
