Period Performance

Period Performance

For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, total revenue increased 23% year-over-year to $1.586 billion, driven primarily by subscription revenue growth of 24% (to $1.508 billion) from seat expansion and price increases. Gross margin improved 200 bps to 85%, benefiting from Cloud infrastructure optimization and support cost leverage. However, GAAP net loss widened to $42.6 million from $38.2 million as operating expenses rose 25% – notably marketing and sales expenses grew 38% due to higher compensation and advertising. Non-GAAP operating income reached $430.2 million (27% margin, up 100 bps) as stock-based compensation and amortization were excluded. Free cash flow fell 51% to $168.5 million, reflecting increased cash outflows for employees and taxes.

Segment Dynamics

Cloud revenue accelerated 26% YoY to $1.067 billion, now 67% of total revenue, as the company successfully expands within its base through seat growth and product attach. Data Center revenue grew 20% to $435.6 million, though management announced plans to end-of-life the offering (no new term licenses after March 2026, maintenance ending March 2029). This strategic shift will pressure Data Center revenue in future periods but reinforces the Cloud-first strategy. Marketplace and other revenue increased 8% to $83.7 million. Geographically, EMEA led with 26% growth, followed by Asia Pacific at 25% and the Americas at 21%.

Forward View

No quantitative guidance was provided. Management highlighted the acquisitions of BCNY (enterprise browser) and DX (engineering intelligence) as enhancing Collections and AI capabilities. The restructuring (elimination of roles, lease exits) signals a focus on operational efficiency. The Data Center end-of-life will begin to impact revenue in fiscal 2027 as customers migrate to Cloud. Free cash flow is expected to remain under pressure from compensation and tax payments, but non-GAAP margins should benefit from Cloud scale and cost actions.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

Atlassian’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 shows cash and cash equivalents of $1.16B, down sharply from $2.51B at June 30, 2025, driven by $1.2B in acquisition-related cash outflows (primarily The Browser Company and DX).
