Pioneering Higher Education Technology Firm Stellic Named 2026 Student Success Platform of the Year

Published

on

Award-winning platform is now helping more than 1 million students navigate complex academic journeys, make informed decisions, and chart clearer pathways to graduation and career success

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stellic—the developer of the popular academic planning and degree management platform that now serves more than 1 million students across more than 100 colleges and universities—today announced that it has been selected as winner of the “Student Success Platform of the Year” award by EdTech Breakthrough. The award program, now in its eighth year, recognizes breakthrough educational technology products and companies reshaping how the world learns from K-12 and higher education to corporate L&D and lifelong learning.

“Every student makes hundreds of decisions on the way to a degree, and most of them are harder than they should be,” said Sabih Bin Wasi, co-founder and CEO of Stellic. “The information exists, it’s just not connected in a way students, or staff, can actually use. That’s the problem our team and our partners show up to work on every day. This recognition reflects the real demand for that kind of clarity in higher education, and our dedication to delivering it.”

At a time when more than 40 million Americans have some college but no credential, and student pathways increasingly span multiple institutions, transfer credits, and learning experiences, navigating higher education has become more complex than ever. Students are often asked to make high-stakes academic decisions with information scattered across disconnected systems, creating barriers that can delay progress and derail completion.

Stellic brings critical information together in a student-facing platform that helps learners understand degree requirements, track progress, evaluate transfer credits, identify the right courses and connect with support before small obstacles become significant barriers to completion. The platform helps students make the hundreds of decisions that shape their college experience with greater confidence by providing a clear view of their progress, options, and opportunities, while giving institutions the insights needed to remove barriers and improve outcomes. Stellic’s suite of tools includes Progress for degree management, Care for proactive advising, and Explore for transfer credit evaluation.

Stellic is redefining academic planning and degree management by helping institutions connect the data, decisions, and support systems that shape a student’s path from enrollment through graduation. Colleges and universities are seeing measurable results using the platform.

At Santa Monica College, the platform helped identify more than 5,400 previously unrecognized degrees and certificates, expanding recognition of student achievement. At Carnegie Mellon University, approximately 80% of students use Stellic to navigate degree requirements and academic planning. At Texas Christian University, 90% student adoption has supported more than 40,000 academic planning actions and 23,000 advising appointments, helping create a more connected and proactive advising experience.

Over the past year, more than 14 million interactions moved through the Stellic platform, including 11.5 million student sessions and 2.5 million faculty and staff sessions. Those interactions represent students mapping degree pathways, evaluating transfer credits, selecting courses, tracking progress toward graduation, and making the everyday decisions that determine whether they stay on track.

The recognition caps a year of continued growth and momentum for Stellic. Today, more than 100 colleges and universities—including community colleges, public and private institutions, and leading research universities—rely on Stellic’s platform to help students make informed decisions, navigate degree requirements, and stay on track to completion.

EdTech Breakthrough’s competitive selection process, evaluated by a panel of industry experts, assesses entries across six core criteria—innovation, performance, ease of use, functionality, value, and impact. This year’s award program drew a record number of nominations from innovators across more than 20 countries, with thousands of entries evaluated across categories spanning the full learner lifecycle—from student engagement and classroom management to workforce development, corporate learning, and postsecondary student success.

Revenue was $11.87M in FY26 and $2.8M in Q4 FY26, representing an 18% and 17% decline respectively compared to the same period of the prior year. The decline was primarily due to lower renewal rates on sunsetting legacy product offerings.Sunsetting legacy product revenue declined by 32% or $0.36M in Q4 FY26 compared to Q4 FY25, and by 33% or $1.76M in FY26 compared to FY25. The ongoing decline of legacy product revenue is proceeding as expected.Revenue from the Mitel business segment decreased by 6% in Q4 FY26 compared to the same period in the prior year, and by 8% in FY26 compared to FY25. This decrease is primarily attributable to an expected shift in the revenue mix from various MPA offerings that is now stabilizing. As Mitel and Martello negotiate a new contract, management is exploring new Go-to-Market models that represent a potential growth opportunity. The Mitel business continues to be a significant source of revenue and gross margin, representing 55% of total revenues in Q4 FY26 and 51% in FY26 (compared to 48% and 45% in the same periods of the prior year). Gross margin in the Mitel business segment remained strong and consistent at 97% in Q4 FY26 and Q4 FY25.99% of total revenues were recurring in Q4 FY26 compared to 97% in Q4 FY25. In FY26 and FY25, 98% of revenues were recurring.Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) totaled $0.93 million in Q4 FY26, representing a decrease of $0.16 million (15%) compared to $1.09 million in Q4 FY25. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower renewal activity across legacy contracts and a shift in the revenue mix related to Mitel’s software assurance program. Vantage DX MRR declined by 9% in Q4 FY26, mainly due to customer attrition.Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 90.4% in Q4 FY26 compared to 86.1% in Q4 FY25. This improvement is attributable to the decrease in cost of goods sold in the Modern Workplace Optimization (MWO) segment in connection with the operational restructuring in Q3 FY26. In the 2026 fiscal year, gross margin decreased slightly to 85.9% from 86.2% in FY25, reflecting a proportionally larger decline in revenue relative to the cost of sales.Operating expenses for Q4 FY26 decreased by 56% or $2.38M to $1.87M from $4.25M in Q4 FY25, primarily due to a decrease in headcount in connection with the operational restructuring in Q3 FY26. In FY26, operating expenses increased by 29% to $21.56M, attributable to the impairment of intangible assets in the MWO segment, and to one-time termination costs associated with the operational restructuring in Q3 FY26. Normalized for impairment of intangible assets and termination costs associated with the operational restructuring, operating expenses for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $12.7M and $16.7M, respectively, which represents a favourable decrease of 24%.Income from operations was $0.66M in Q4 FY26 compared to a loss of $1.34M in the same period of FY25. The improvement is attributable to lower operating expenses as described above. In FY26, the loss from operations was $11.37M, compared to a loss of $4.14M in FY25. The increase is primarily attributable to a $6.09M impairment of intangible assets and right of use assets and one-time termination costs of $2.7M.EBITDA in Q4 2026 improved to positive $0.6M, compared to a loss of $0.7M in Q4 FY25, primarily driven by lower headcount and vendor costs following the operational restructuring. EBITDA for FY26 was a loss of $10.2M, compared to a loss of $2.2M in FY25, primarily due to the impairment of MWO intangible assets and one-time employee termination costs associated with the operational restructuring.Adjusted EBITDA (a non–IFRS measure) reached $0.50M in Q4 FY26, a meaningful turnaround from a loss of $0.82M in Q4 FY25, driven by the operational restructuring in Q3 FY26 and disciplined financial management.The Company’s cash and short-term investments balance was $2.87M as of March 31, 2026 (compared to $6.69M at March 31, 2025). The decrease was primarily attributable to cash used in operating activities, mainly driven by employee termination payouts and lower sales and partially offset by a $2.0M loan received from Wesley Clover International in Q3 FY26.
