ACI Worldwide Q1 revenue rises 8% to $426 million and full-year guidance is raised
ACI Worldwide reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $426 million, up 8% from a year earlier, and raised its full-year 2026 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance. GAAP net income fell to $38 million from $59 million, but the prior-year figure included a $22 million after-tax gain on the sale of its Mindgate stake, so shareholders face a mix of higher operating results and lower reported profit.
