Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of $60.0 million, up from $40.7 million for the prior-year quarter"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Subscription Annualized Recurring Revenue financial
"Subscription Annualized Recurring Revenue increased to $802.3 million, up 14 percent year-over-year"
Remaining Performance Obligations financial
"Remaining Performance Obligations total, or Backlog, increased by $46 million sequentially and $444 million year-over-year"
Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow | | $ | 44,210 | | | $ | 37,832"
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.
Regulation FD regulatory
"Q2 has used, and intends to continue to use, its investor relations website as a means of disclosing material non-public information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD."
Regulation FD is a rule that prevents company insiders, like executives, from sharing important information with some people before others get it. It matters because it helps ensure all investors have equal access to key news, making the stock market fairer and reducing chances of insider trading.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AUSTIN, Texas (April 29, 2026)—Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: QTWO), a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for financial services, today announced results for its first quarter ending March 31, 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA of $60.0 million, up from $40.7 million for the prior-year quarter and $51.2 million for fourth quarter 2025.

For a reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP results, please see the tables below.

“We delivered a strong start to 2026, with performance reflecting continued execution across our key priorities and the durability of our model,” said Matt Flake, Chairman, President and CEO, Q2. "We saw record bookings for a first quarter, highlighted by strength at the high end of the market and a balanced mix of net new and expansion activity. We also saw continued momentum across our digital banking platform and risk and fraud solutions, which remain critical areas of investment for our customers. With a strong pipeline and continued innovation across areas like AI, we remain confident in our ability to execute and deliver long-term value.”

First Quarter Highlights

Signed nine Enterprise and Tier 1 contracts in the quarter highlighted by:

A significant expansion agreement through the merger of Synovus and Pinnacle Financial Partners with the combined entity utilizing our commercial digital banking and commercial fraud management solutions.

The largest fraud deal signed in company history with an Enterprise bank.

Net new and expansion agreements with two other Enterprise banks to utilize our fraud solutions.

Subscription Annualized Recurring Revenue increased to $802.3 million, up 14 percent year-over-year.

Remaining Performance Obligations total, or Backlog, increased by $46 million sequentially and $444 million year-over-year, resulting in a total committed Backlog of approximately $2.7 billion at quarter-end, representing 2 percent sequential growth and 19 percent year-over-year growth.

In the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, Q2 repurchased approximately 1.8 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock at an average share price of approximately $55.04 for total consideration of approximately $97.2 million. As of the end of the quarter, Q2 had $47.8 million remaining on its $150 million share repurchase authorization announced in November 2025.







Q2 Delivers Record First Quarter Bookings and Advances AI Strategy to Start 2026

Q2 delivered a strong start to 2026, with performance reflecting continued execution across the business and meaningful progress in its AI strategy. The quarter was supported by broad-based demand across Q2’s platform, particularly within digital banking and risk and fraud solutions, as financial institutions continue to prioritize technology investment, operational efficiency, and real-time risk management.

Q2 also continues to advance its AI strategy as a natural extension of its platform. Positioned at the center of digital banking interactions, Q2 serves as a “System of Context,” providing real-time visibility into user behavior, transaction activity, and decision-making across retail, small business, and commercial banking.

At the same time, Q2 operates at the execution layer of banking, orchestrating workflows and enabling transactions and outcomes across the platform. This combination of context and execution allows Q2 to embed AI directly into the flow of banking activity—enabling real-time action in a secure and compliant manner.

Q2 is focused on applying AI across key areas including banker efficiency, fraud prevention, and personalization, where it is already delivering new capabilities. As financial institutions continue to adopt AI, Q2 believes its platform is well positioned to serve as a foundation for innovation.

“We delivered strong financial performance in the first quarter, with solid year-over-year revenue growth and meaningful expansion in profitability,” said Jonathan Price, CFO, Q2. “Adjusted EBITDA grew and margins expanded significantly, reflecting continued progress in scaling the business and driving operating efficiency. We believe these results reflect the strength of our business model and position us well to continue delivering balanced growth and profitability while prioritizing effective capital allocation in 2026.”

Financial Outlook

As of April 29, 2026, Q2 Holdings is providing guidance for its second quarter of 2026 and updated guidance for its full year 2026, which represents Q2 Holdings’ current estimates on Q2 Holdings’ operations and financial results. The financial information below includes adjusted EBITDA, which represents forward-looking, non-GAAP financial information. GAAP net income is the most comparable GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA differs from GAAP net income in that it excludes items such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, transaction-related costs, interest and other (income) expense, income taxes, lease and other restructuring charges, and non-recurring legal settlements not in our ordinary course of business. Q2 Holdings is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of these exclusions without unreasonable effort. Therefore, Q2 Holdings has not provided guidance for GAAP net income or a reconciliation of the foregoing forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income. However, it is important to note that these excluded items could be material to Q2's results computed in accordance with GAAP in future periods.

Q2 Holdings is providing guidance for the second quarter of 2026 as follows:

Total revenue of $214.0 million to $218.0 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of 10 to 12 percent.

Adjusted EBITDA of $57.5 million to $60.5 million, representing 27 to 28 percent of revenue for the quarter.

Q2 Holdings is providing updated guidance for the full-year 2026 as follows:

Total revenue of $875.0 million to $882.0 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of 10 to 11 percent.

Adjusted EBITDA of $237.0 million to $242.0 million, representing 27 percent of revenue for the year.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Q2 uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA; adjusted EBITDA margin; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP sales and marketing expense; non-GAAP research and development expense; non-GAAP general and administrative expense; non-GAAP operating expense; non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP net income per common share, diluted; and free cash flow. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures of operating performance because they exclude items that Q2 does not consider indicative of its core performance.

In the case of adjusted EBITDA, Q2 adjusts net income for such items as interest and other (income) expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, transaction-related costs, lease and other restructuring charges, and non-recurring legal settlements not in our ordinary course of business. In the case of adjusted EBITDA margin, Q2 calculates adjusted EBITDA margin by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue. In the case of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP gross profit, Q2 adjusts gross profit and gross margin for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired technology, transaction-related costs and lease and other restructuring charges. In the case of non-GAAP sales and marketing expense and non-GAAP research and development expense, Q2 adjusts the corresponding GAAP expense to exclude stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP general and administrative expense excludes stock-based compensation and non-recurring legal settlements not in our ordinary course of business. Non-GAAP operating expense is calculated by taking the sum of non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP research and development expense and non-GAAP general and administrative expense. In the case of non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income, Q2 adjusts operating income, for stock-based compensation, transaction-related costs, amortization of acquired technology, amortization of acquired intangibles, lease and other restructuring charges and non-recurring legal settlements not in our ordinary course of business, and with respect to non-GAAP net income, Q2 additionally adjusts for amortization of debt issuance costs and the related tax effects of the adjustments above. The tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments is calculated based on the tax laws and statutory income tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdiction(s) of the underlying non-GAAP adjustment and considers the current and deferred tax impact of those adjustments. The Company is in a cumulative income position on a non-GAAP basis and has not recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the non-GAAP tax provision. As a result, the non-GAAP tax expense may differ significantly from the GAAP tax expense. In the case of non-GAAP net income per common share, diluted Q2 divides non-GAAP net income by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. In the case of free cash flow, Q2 adjusts net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs. A reconciliation of prior quarter non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures may be found in Exhibit 99.1 of Q2's Form 8-K filed on February 11, 2026.







There are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Certain items that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on operating and net income. As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, the closest GAAP measures, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation to the closest GAAP measures of these non-GAAP measures is contained in tabular form on the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Q2’s management uses these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating performance; to prepare Q2’s annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of Q2’s business; to evaluate the effectiveness of Q2’s business strategies; to provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of Q2’s results with those of other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results; and in communication with our board of directors concerning Q2’s financial performance.
