Yext announces Q1 fiscal 2027 results as the enterprise agentic marketing platform.

“NEW YORK -- (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 2, 2026 — Yext, Inc. (NYSE: YEXT), the enterprise agentic marketing platform, today announced its results for the three months ended April 30, 2026, or Yext's first quarter, of fiscal year 2027.”

Yext positions itself as infrastructure for brands deploying AI agents and funds R&D.

““Our first quarter performance highlights the structural efficiency and profitability of our operations, delivering $26.9 million in Adjusted EBITDA and a strong 25% Adjusted EBITDA margin,” said Michael Walrath, Yext Chairman and CEO. “While AI has proven to be a disruptive force for many, we believe Yext is well positioned as technology consumption expands beyond human users to autonomous agents. Our sustained cash generation directly fuels our capacity to accelerate our roadmap, positioning Yext as the indispensable infrastructure layer for brands deploying AI agents. Looking ahead, the improving year-over-year growth in our customers with ARR ≥$50K along with our strong cash balance sheet allows us to simultaneously fund internal R&D, pursue high-return M&A to increase our velocity, and return capital to shareholders. Because of this, we believe the opportunity for Yext has never been greater.””

Yext operates as an enterprise agentic marketing platform connecting data to agents.

“Yext is the enterprise agentic marketing platform. Built on the world's most comprehensive structured data platform for local businesses, Yext gives brands and their partners the visibility intelligence to win every moment of discovery — across AI and traditional search. Yext's API-first architecture connects structured data to APIs, MCP servers, and generative interfaces, so partners and developers can build purpose-built experiences on the same infrastructure powering Yext's own products. Thousands of brands and digital marketing partners in financial services, healthcare, retail, hospitality, and food rely on Yext to manage, measure, and optimize visibility at scale.

Yext discusses its AI portfolio and headless MCP architecture for the agentic era.

“2. Our AI product portfolio, the evolution of Scout, and the strategic significance of headless and MCP architecture for an agentic era;”

Yext's Scout provides agentic orchestration and resonates with enterprise customers.

“Yext Scout—which we believe provides brands with unprecedented localized competitive intelligence and agentic orchestration—is resonating with customers. We are seeing our enterprise customers that have worked with Scout”

Yext delivers value with Scout that orchestrates its Data Management and other agents.

“The traction we are seeing with Scout validates the strategic argument we have been making for two years: fragmented AI-driven discovery makes proprietary, distributed, and structured local data more valuable, not less. We are delivering that value to customers with Scout, which acquires and analyzes local competitive intelligence data, and recommends actions. Scout also orchestrates Yext's best-in-class Data Management, Content Generation and Content and Data distribution Agents to scale agentic marketing for each customer. Yext is laser focused on building the Agentic Marketing platform for the future.”

Yext positions itself to serve companies building agents or seeking ready-to-deploy agents.

“The shift to agentic computing is dividing the enterprise software market into two camps: those who want to build their own agents and need clean, programmatic data to do so, and those who want best-in-class agents delivered ready to deploy. Yext serves both.”

Yext invests in MCP standard for AI agents to connect to its data via APIs.

“This is not a new approach for us. The vast majority of our reseller and partner ecosystem already consumes Yext through APIs, and has done so for years. From the start, our infrastructure was built for programmatic access. What has changed in the last twelve months is the interface layer. Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is becoming the standard way for AI agents to connect to enterprise systems, and we have continued to invest aggressively to maintain Yext's first-class data and capabilities in that ecosystem.”

Yext launched Scout MCP for programmatic access to its dataset by customer agents.

“The Scout MCP we recently launched gives customers programmatic access to our localized competitive intelligence dataset, structured for agentic consumption. A customer can plug Scout MCP into their own agent to perform analysis and take action across the underlying Yext platform without writing a single integration. Customers now have the choice to build their own agents, utilize Yext's growing agent offering, or connect proprietary Scout and Knowledge graph data capabilities into agents built by other providers.”

Yext sees shift to generative AI engines and agentic platforms as an expansion opportunity.

“The fragmentation of digital discovery has fundamentally increased the technical requirements for brand visibility management. As consumers transition from a single search entry point to a fragmented ecosystem of generative AI engines and increasingly agentic and specialized discovery platforms, the volume of endpoints that an enterprise must monitor and optimize has grown exponentially. We do not view this shift as a threat to our category's relevance; rather, we believe it represents a massive expansion opportunity for Yext.”

Yext's Scout is an AI competitive intelligence and agentic marketing orchestration platform.

“Scout, our AI Competitive Intelligence and Agentic marketing orchestration platform is gaining strong traction. In an AI-driven discovery environment, it is critical for brands to understand the hyper-local competitive landscape and take action grounded in authoritative business data. Many companies can illuminate Brand level aspects of the Brand Visibility challenge. We are not aware of any other platform that can measure competitive dynamics at hyper local granularity, and direct actions around data distribution, content, social media, reputation and customer communications at that level of granularity. We believe Yext is uniquely positioned to provide a comprehensive localized view while enabling automated, agent-driven optimizations.”

Yext is accelerating AI investments to enhance automation and agentic execution.

“Second, we are accelerating AI investments across our platform to enhance automation and Agentic execution.”

Yext offers multi-product automation and agentic marketing execution.

“• Multi product automation and Agentic Marketing execution grounded in authoritative business data for maximum impact and minimum risk.”

Scout includes AI agents that execute improvements across channels at scale.

“Beyond diagnostics, Scout equips customers to compete at a hyper-local level through competitive benchmarking, targeted visibility recommendations, and AI agents that execute improvements across listings, reviews, pages, and social channels at scale with minimal operational lift.”

Yext is making AI and automation investments to create a more agentic user experience.

“Larger customers tend to be more complex, more deeply integrated into our platform, and more likely to expand their usage over time—characteristics that support durability and long-term value creation. Importantly, we continue to see a segment of SMB customers who prefer direct access to our platform and are highly self-sufficient. These customers stand to benefit significantly from the AI and automation investments we are making to create a more agentic, intuitive, and efficient user experience.”

Yext states structured data control is needed as AI agents and generative search grow.

“Our thesis is simple: as AI agents and generative search become more common, structured data becomes the new storefront. Brands that lack control over their data—and lack tools to measure how they appear in these AI environments—will fall behind.”

Yext is launching Scout as an AI agent for data gathering, insights, and action automation.

“We believe Yext Scout will fundamentally change the way our customers and partners gather data insights, expand their Knowledge Graph, prioritize actions to win more visibility in a local marketing world growing much more complex. As AI drives fragmentation and complexity, brands need their own AI agent to gather data, synthesize insights, recommend action and even automate those actions. Scout is the merging of several initiatives here at Yext. We have been investing in AI experience measurement for several quarters. With our acquisition of Places Scout in February, we are now merging AI visibility with traditional search and reputation competitive intelligence into a single game changing offering. Yext is very well positioned to provide any local marketer with end to end visibility into competitive dynamics and a suite of products to enable improved performance.”

Yext acquires Places Scout to enhance competitive intelligence amid AI search and AI agents transformation.

““Places Scout has been a trusted provider of local search intelligence for nearly a decade,” said Michael Walrath, CEO and Chair of the Board at Yext. “Bringing Places Scout’s data into Yext immediately enhances our competitive intelligence capabilities, helping brands not just see where they stand, but know exactly what steps to take to outperform their competition. As AI search and AI agents transform how customers find information, we are committed to giving brands the insights they need to take control of their digital presence and win. We are thrilled to welcome the Places Scout team to Yext.””
