Period Performance

Period Performance

In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, nCino reported total revenues of $148.8 million, a 12.4% increase compared to $132.4 million in the same period last year. Subscription revenues, which constitute the majority of revenue, grew 14.8% to $130.8 million, driven by expansion within existing customers (contributing 51.7% of the increase) and new customer additions (48.3%). Professional services and other revenues declined 2.3% to $18.1 million, reflecting a shift in implementation mix and lower effective billing rates.

Gross profit increased 12.3% to $88.1 million, but gross margin slightly contracted to 59.2% from 59.3% a year ago. Subscription gross margin improved to 70.9% (from 70.7%), while professional services gross margin worsened to -25.7% from -11.2%, driven by strategic investments in professional services capabilities and lower utilization.

Operating expenses rose 12.8% to $97.4 million, with sales and marketing up 17.5% due to increased headcount and marketing costs, research and development relatively flat, and general and administrative up 25.0% due to restructuring costs. As a result, loss from operations widened to $9.3 million from $7.9 million. Net loss attributable to nCino increased to $15.3 million from $11.0 million, impacted by higher interest expense and a $10.1 million restructuring charge.

Segment Dynamics

The subscription segment remains the primary growth driver, with its share of total revenue rising to 87.9% from 86.0% a year ago. The company attributed subscription growth to both existing customer expansion (51.7% of the increase) and new customers (48.3%). Professional services revenue declined, and its negative gross margin deepened, reflecting strategic investments and lower utilization. International revenue accounted for 22.5% of total revenue, slightly up from the prior six-month period.

Forward View

Management expects to continue investing in product development and sales and marketing to drive growth, particularly in credit unions and European markets. The company expects research and development and general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over time. The restructuring plan announced in May 2025 is intended to improve operational efficiencies, with $10.1 million in charges already incurred. No specific quantitative guidance was provided. The company believes its current cash and credit facility are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months.

Of this, $42.8 million is due within the next 12 months, $82.7 million in years 1-3, and $76.6 million beyond three years.

Deferred income taxes added $4.0M. Working capital was a net source: accounts receivable decreased $51.8M, partially offset by increases in accrued expenses and deferred revenue. Non-operating items included a $14.0M foreign currency gain and a $1.7M gain on investments.
