Financial Outlook
Sprinklr is providing the following guidance for the third fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2026:
• Subscription revenue between $196.0 million and $197.0 million.
• Total revenue between $215.0 million and $216.0 million.
• Non-GAAP operating income between $33.5 million and $34.5 million.
• Non-GAAP net income per share of approximately $0.11, assuming 239 million diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.
Sprinklr is providing the following updated guidance for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2027:
• Subscription revenue between $782.5 million and $784.5 million.
• Total revenue between $866.5 million and $868.5 million.
• Non-GAAP operating income between $139.0 million and $141.0 million.
• Non-GAAP net income per share of approximately $0.47, assuming 240 million diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), we believe that the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance:
• Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin;
• Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin; and
• Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share.
We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective U.S. GAAP measures, excluding, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense and related charges; amortization of stock-based compensation expense associated with capitalized internal-use software; amortization of acquired intangible assets; restructuring charges; costs associated with acquisitions; litigation, settlement, and related costs deemed unrelated to our core business operations; facility exit costs; and the estimated tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments. We believe that it is useful to exclude these items in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies over multiple periods.
In addition, we believe that free cash flow is also a useful non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity as it measures our ability to generate cash, or our need to access additional sources of cash, to fund operations and investments. We expect our free cash flow to fluctuate in future periods with changes in our operating expenses and as we continue to invest in our growth. We typically experience higher billings in the fourth quarter compared to other quarters and experience higher collections of accounts receivable in the first half of the year, which results in a decrease in accounts receivable in the first half of the year.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As a result, our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
