Insights

Guidewire posts strong Q3 growth, boosts 2026 outlook and invests via buybacks.

Guidewire delivered solid Q3 fiscal 2026 momentum, with total revenue of $372.5 million, up 27% year over year. Growth was led by subscription and support revenue of $244.7 million, up 35%, reinforcing the shift to a recurring, cloud-centric business model.

Profitability improved at the operating level: GAAP income from operations rose to $30.6 million, while non-GAAP income from operations increased to $77.8 million. GAAP net income of $16.5 million was lower than the prior year because of a $20.1 million foreign currency loss versus a prior-year gain, but non-GAAP net income rose to $69.6 million, with diluted EPS of $0.82.

Management’s updated guidance is a key signal. For fiscal 2026, the company now targets total revenue of $1,460–$1,470 million, GAAP operating income of $124–$134 million, non-GAAP operating income of $314–$324 million, and operating cash flow of $365–$380 million. The board also authorized a $500 million share repurchase, with $392.4 million used year-to-date and $240.5 million remaining as of April 30, 2026, indicating significant capital deployment alongside growth.

annual recurring revenue financial
"As of April 30, 2026, annual recurring revenue, or ARR, was $1,147 million"
Annual recurring revenue is the predictable amount of money a company expects to earn each year from ongoing customer subscriptions or contracts. It helps businesses understand how much steady income they can count on, much like a subscription service that charges customers every month or year. This figure is important because it shows the company's stability and growth potential.
non-GAAP income from operations financial
"Non-GAAP income from operations was $77.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026"
Non-GAAP income from operations is a measure of a company's profit from its core business activities, calculated without including certain expenses or income that are typically added back or excluded in standard accounting reports. It provides a clearer picture of how well the company's main operations are performing by removing items like one-time costs or gains that might distort the overall results. Investors use it to better understand the company's ongoing profitability, separate from unusual or non-recurring items.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow consists of net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash used for purchases of property and equipment"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
convertible senior notes financial
"Convertible senior notes, net | 677,206 | | | 674,568"
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.
stock-based compensation financial
"Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations exclude stock-based compensation"
Stock-based compensation is when a company pays employees, directors or consultants with shares or the right to buy shares instead of or in addition to cash. It matters to investors because issuing stock or options spreads ownership thinner (like cutting a pie into more slices), which can reduce each existing share’s claim on profits and can also change reported earnings; investors watch it to assess true cost of running the business and how management is incentivized.
share repurchase program financial
"Guidewire’s board of directors authorized a new $500 million share repurchase program"
A share repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of each remaining share and signal confidence in the company's prospects. For investors, it often suggests that the company believes its stock is undervalued or that it has extra cash to return to shareholders.
Total revenue $372.5 million +27% year over year
Subscription and support revenue $244.7 million +35% year over year
ARR $1,147 million up from $1,041 million as of July 31, 2025
GAAP income from operations $30.6 million up from $4.5 million in prior-year quarter
Non-GAAP income from operations $77.8 million up from $46.1 million in prior-year quarter
Non-GAAP diluted EPS $0.82 up from $0.55 in prior-year quarter
Guidance

For Q4 2026, total revenue $396–$406 million and GAAP operating income $36–$46 million; for FY 2026, total revenue $1,460–$1,470 million and non-GAAP operating income $314–$324 million.

Guidewire Announces Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 4, 2026 - Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2026.

“Third-quarter results reinforce our confidence in the strength and continuing momentum of our business, and set us up well for what should be a record fourth quarter,” said Mike Rosenbaum, chief executive officer, Guidewire. “It’s clear that our strategy and market position are resonating with insurers as they focus on modernizing core systems, migrating critical business functions to our cloud platform solutions, and adopting AI across our applications.”

“We are raising our fiscal year outlook for revenue, operating income, and cash flow based on better than expected Q3 results and greater visibility as opportunities progress through our pipeline,” said Jeff Cooper, chief financial officer, Guidewire. “ARR grew 19% in Q3 and total revenue grew 27%. These strong growth dynamics reflect the pace of wins across products, regions, and customers of all sizes and reinforce the durability of our business model.”

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Highlights
Revenue
Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $372.5 million, an increase of 27% from the same quarter in fiscal year 2025. Subscription and support revenue was $244.7 million, an increase of 35%; license revenue was $56.0 million, a decrease of 2%; and services revenue was $71.8 million, an increase of 32%, each compared to the same quarter in fiscal year 2025.
As of April 30, 2026, annual recurring revenue, or ARR, was $1,147 million, compared to $1,041 million as of July 31, 2025. ARR results for interim quarterly periods in fiscal year 2026 are based on actual currency rates at the end of fiscal year 2025, held constant throughout the year.

GAAP net income was $16.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared with $46.0 million for the same quarter in fiscal year 2025. GAAP net income was negatively impacted by a foreign currency loss of $20.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to a foreign currency gain of $34.2 million for the same quarter in fiscal year 2025 due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.19 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 85.1 million, compared with $0.54 for the same quarter in fiscal year 2025, based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 85.9 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Metrics
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP tax provision (benefit), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and free cash flow. Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and acquisition consideration holdback. Non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and non-GAAP tax provision (benefit) also exclude the amortization of debt issuance costs from our convertible senior notes, changes in fair value of strategic investments, (gains) losses on sale of strategic investments, retirement of debt, unrealized foreign exchange rate (gains) losses, and related tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments. Free cash flow consists of net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs. These non-GAAP measures enable us to analyze our financial performance without the effects of certain non-cash items such as amortization and stock-based compensation.



Annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) is used to quantify the annualized recurring value outlined in active customer contracts at the end of a reporting period. ARR includes the annualized recurring value of term licenses, subscription agreements, support contracts, and hosting agreements based on customer contractual terms and invoicing activities for the current reporting period, which may not be the same as the timing and amount of revenue recognized. ARR reflects all fee changes due to contract renewals, non-renewals, expansion, cancellations, attrition, or renegotiations at a higher or lower fee arrangement that are effective as of the ARR reporting date. All components of the licensing and other arrangements that are not expected to recur (primarily perpetual licenses and professional services) are excluded from our ARR calculations. In some arrangements with multiple performance obligations, a portion of recurring license and support or subscription contract value is allocated to services revenue for revenue recognition purposes, but does not get allocated for purposes of calculating ARR. This revenue allocation generally only impacts the initial term of the contract. This means that if we increase arrangements with multiple performance obligations that include services at discounted rates, more of the total contract value would be recognized as services revenue, but our reported ARR amount would not be impacted. During the nine months ended April 30, 2026, the recurring license and support or subscription contract value recognized as services revenue was $5.9 million.
Guidewire believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Guidewire’s financial condition and results of operations. Guidewire’s management uses these non-GAAP measures and other metrics to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis, for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation, and for budgeting and planning purposes. Guidewire believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Guidewire’s financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics to investors.
Guidewire’s management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Guidewire’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Guidewire urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, including the financial tables at the end of this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Guidewire’s business.
