Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 10.6% year-over-year, driven by a 12.2% increase in subscription revenue. Growth was attributed to 72.6% expansion from existing customers and 27.4% from new customers.
• Profitability: The company returned to operating profitability, generating $21.1 million in operating income compared to a $1.5 million loss in the prior year. This was driven by improved gross margins and reduced operating expenses.
• Expense Reduction: Operating expenses decreased 9.3% to $79.8 million. Significant reductions occurred in Research & Development ($4.5M decrease) and General & Administrative ($4.4M decrease), largely due to workforce reductions in Q2 of the prior fiscal year.
• Debt Structure: The company secured a new $200 million term loan in March 2026. Proceeds were used to pay down the revolving credit facility and fund an Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) program.
• Foreign Currency Impact: Other income (expense) net decreased by $16.4 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to the settlement of intercompany loans denominated in foreign currencies, which previously generated significant gains.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Capital Allocation: The company executed a $100 million ASR agreement in March 2026. As of April 30, 2026, $65.0 million remained available under the December 2025 repurchase program.
• Outlook: Management expects subscription revenue to continue making up an increasing proportion of total revenue. The company is transitioning to an asset-based pricing model and investing in AI capabilities.
• Risks:
  • Macroeconomic Environment: Fluctuating interest rates and inflationary pressures are negatively impacting the U.S. mortgage market, affecting demand for mortgage-related products.
  • Foreign Currency: While intercompany loans were settled to mitigate risk, the company remains exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on international revenues and cash balances.
  • Competition: Success depends on convincing financial institutions to replace legacy systems with the nCino platform.
• Unusual Items: The prior year included a $16.1 million gain in "Other income (expense), net" from foreign currency remeasurement, which was not present in the current period, making year-over-year comparisons of non-operating income volatile.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Verify the sustainability of the operating margin expansion given the one-time nature of the prior year's foreign currency gain and the impact of recent workforce reductions.
• Monitor the settlement of the $100 million Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) program expected in Q2 2027 to determine the final share count reduction.
• Assess the impact of the new $200 million term loan on future interest expense and leverage ratios, noting the quarterly principal payment requirement of $2.5 million.
• Review the trajectory of the U.S. mortgage business segment, which is explicitly cited as being negatively impacted by the current interest rate environment.
• Confirm the adoption rate of the new asset-based pricing model as a driver for future subscription revenue growth.
