Why This Question Matters

Tests whether 20% incremental Adj EBITDA margin discipline holds through CEO transition (Sahni effective July 1, 2026). Black Swan Beacon Scenario B explicitly flagged transition friction breaking incremental margin track record as 10-20% probability MATERIAL risk. $40M reflects modest compression (from ~$50M central case) — the threshold where operating leverage thesis remains intact but no longer accelerating.

FY 2025 base $18.5M + 20% incremental on $144M minimum revenue growth = $47M central case. Even with revenue at guide floor ($832M) + 15% incremental margin (vs 20% track record) = $40M flat. CEO transition friction (BSB Scenario B, 10-20%) is main downside. ~68%.

$40M needs only ~12.6% incremental at $855M revenue or ~15% at $832M floor — substantially below 20% track record. Marketplace GM expanding +80bp YoY adds tailwind. Risk: international segment investment acceleration could absorb $5-10M. ~65%.

Three-year incremental margin discipline track record is strong. Mgmt has explicit narrative incentive to demonstrate continuity through CEO transition. International segment narrowing losses. SBC at 5.3% of revenue stable, not accelerating. Lean YES with margin. ~72%.

Central case ~$50M, threshold $40M = 20% cushion. Incremental margin only needs 13-15% (vs 20% track). Mgmt continuity incentive. ~66%.

Q4 2025 exit run-rate strong. Marketplace GM expanding flows directly to EBITDA. Operating leverage discipline pattern across 3 years; year 4 typically continues. Tail: Sahni hiring/SBC spike in 2H. ~69%.

$40M = ~4.7% margin (on $855M) vs 2.7% in 2025. Doubling margin in one year is non-trivial; needs ~$22M improvement. Historical pace was $28M YoY (2024 to 2025). Pace continuation supports threshold. ~65%.

Resolution Criteria

Resolves YES if Xometry's reported full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the company's non-GAAP reconciliation in the FY 2026 10-K or Q4 2026 earnings release) is at or above $40.0M. Resolves NO if below $40.0M.
