Filing Explained

This is a furnished results-and-guidance update, not a disclosed offering or ownership transaction affecting existing common holders.

The Form 8-K is used to report specified material events, and this one furnishes AppFolio’s second-quarter results and 2026 outlook under Item 2.02.

The information is furnished rather than filed for Section 18 purposes and is not incorporated by reference into other filings unless specifically stated. The filing discloses no offering, issuance, or other ownership mechanics for existing common holders; its direct effect is to update reported performance and management’s outlook.

The source’s “expanding profitability” characterization uses both GAAP and non-GAAP operating measures; the non-GAAP figures exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation and purchased intangibles, and related tax effects, so they are supplemental rather than GAAP results. The 2026 non-GAAP margin outlook has no GAAP-equivalent guidance because the excluded items are uncertain, outside the company’s control, or not reasonably predictable, and the company says their effect may be significant.

trailing twelve-month basis financial
"crossed $1 billion in revenue on a trailing twelve-month basis"
A trailing twelve-month basis measures a company's performance by adding together the actual results from the most recent four quarters to show how it did over the past year. Investors use it like looking at the last 12 months of pay stubs instead of a single month or old annual report, which helps reveal recent trends, smooth out seasonal ups and downs, and make more current comparisons across companies.
Value Added Services financial
"Value Added Services revenue was $219,467 for Q2 2026"
non-GAAP operating margin financial
"Full year non-GAAP operating margin range as a percentage of revenue"
Non-GAAP operating margin is a way companies show how much profit they make from their main business activities, excluding certain expenses or income they consider unusual or non-recurring. It helps investors see how well the company is performing in its normal operations, without the effects of one-time costs or gains that might distort the picture.
stock-based compensation expense financial
"Includes stock-based compensation expense as follows in costs and expenses"
Stock-based compensation expense is the value that a company records when it gives employees or executives shares or options to buy shares as part of their pay. It matters because it shows the true cost of paying employees this way, which can affect the company's profits and how investors see its financial health.
available-for-sale investments financial
"Purchases of available-for-sale investments and proceeds from sales"
Available-for-sale investments are bonds or stocks a company buys to earn income or sell later but not to trade day-to-day or hold until they mature. Price changes in these investments often affect the company’s reported net worth rather than immediate profit or loss, so they can make a firm’s balance sheet look stronger or weaker without changing current earnings — like items stored on a shelf whose sticker price changes but don’t yet show up on this month’s bill.
Revenue $281 million Revenue grew 19% year-over-year in Q2 2026.
GAAP operating income $53 million GAAP operating income grew 31% year-over-year, with an 18.8% margin.
Non-GAAP operating income $76 million Non-GAAP operating income grew 24% year-over-year, with a 27.1% margin.
Net cash from operations $88 million Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $53 million in Q2 2025.
Units under management 9.6 million Total units under management grew 8% year-over-year.
Guidance

For 2026, AppFolio expects revenue of $1.117–$1.127 billion and a non-GAAP operating margin of 26.5%–28.0% of revenue, based on approximately 36 million diluted weighted average shares.

Statement Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP presentation of income from operations, costs and operating expenses, operating margin, net income, and net income per share. These measures exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring items, including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of stock-based compensation capitalized in software development costs, amortization of purchased intangibles, and the related income tax effect of these adjustments, as applicable and described below. Non-GAAP operating margin is calculated as non-GAAP operating income from operations as a percentage of revenue.

We use each of these non-GAAP financial measures internally to assess and compare operating results across reporting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful supplemental information to investors and facilitate the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.

In particular, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others in assessing our operating performance due to the following factors:

Stock-based compensation expense and amortization of stock-based compensation capitalized in software development costs. We utilize stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees. It is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of our stockholders while ensuring long-term retention, rather than to address operational performance for any particular period. As a result, stock-based compensation expenses vary for reasons that are generally unrelated to financial and operational performance in any particular period.

Amortization of purchased intangibles. We view amortization of purchased intangible assets as items arising from pre-acquisition activities determined at the time of an acquisition. While these intangible assets are evaluated for impairment regularly, amortization of the cost of purchased intangibles is an expense that is not typically affected by operations during any particular period.

Income tax effects of adjustments. We utilize a fixed long-term projected tax rate in our computation of non-GAAP income tax effects to provide better consistency across interim reporting periods. In projecting this long-term non-GAAP tax rate, we utilize a financial projection that excludes the direct impact of other non-GAAP adjustments. The projected rate, which we have determined to be 22% and 21% for 2026 and 2025, respectively, considers other factors such as our current operating structure, existing tax positions in various jurisdictions, and key legislation in major jurisdictions where we operate. We periodically re-evaluate this tax rate, as necessary, for significant events, based on relevant tax law changes, and material changes in the forecasted geographic earnings mix.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and can exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. As such, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the tables above. We encourage investors to review the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
