Filing Explained

The July 29 authorization adds up to 350 million dollars of buyback capacity, not a committed share reduction; June 30 cash was 99,917 thousand dollars.

Under Item 8.01, the company disclosed a board authorization for up to $350 million of additional common-stock repurchases. The headline announces added capacity, but the filing says Q2 is not obligated to acquire a specified number of shares, so no further reduction in the share count is established.

The authorization has no expiration date and may be suspended, modified, or terminated by the board; purchases depend on market conditions and other factors.

At June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $99,917 thousand, compared with $367,631 thousand at December 31, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the cash-flow statement reports $303,995 thousand paid for convertible-note maturity and $120,081 thousand for common-share repurchases.

The material unresolved line item is whether Q2 uses the newly authorized capacity; this filing provides no purchase schedule or specified share count.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of $62.8 million, up from $45.8 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 $825.5 million, up 15 percent year-over-year."
Remaining Performance Obligations financial
"Remaining Performance Obligations total, or Backlog, increased by $21.6 million sequentially and $404.3 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.
accelerated share repurchase transactions financial
"repurchases of its common stock ... including accelerated share repurchase transactions, block trades or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans."
A way for a company to buy back a large number of its own shares immediately by contracting with a bank that delivers the stock up front and then fills the trade over time. It matters to investors because it quickly reduces the number of shares outstanding—similar to a store buying back its own coupons to raise the value of each remaining coupon—which can raise profit per share, signal management’s confidence, and change the company’s cash and debt picture.
Rule 10b5-1 trading plans financial
"repurchases ... including accelerated share repurchase transactions, block trades or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans."
Rule 10b5-1 trading plans are written, pre-arranged instructions that allow company insiders (such as executives or directors) to automatically buy or sell their company's stock at specified times or under set conditions, like a standing instruction or automated thermostat for trades. They matter to investors because these plans provide a legal defense against insider‑trading accusations and create predictable insider trading patterns that can help signal whether sales are routine portfolio management or potentially meaningful to the company’s outlook.
banking-as-a-service, or BaaS financial
"including specifically on banking-as-a-service, or BaaS, services;"
Revenue $219.765 million up 13 percent year-over-year and 2 percent from first quarter 2026
GAAP net income $29.858 million up from $11.764 million in the prior-year quarter
Adjusted EBITDA $62.788 million up from $45.798 million in the prior-year quarter
Non-GAAP gross margin 62.3% up from 57.5% in the prior-year quarter
Guidance

For Q3 2026, the company expects total revenue of $218.5–$222.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of $58.5–$61.5 million. For full-year 2026, it guides to revenue of $881.0–$886.0 million and adjusted EBITDA of $244.0–$248.0 million.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Q2 Holdings, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results; Announced Additional $350 Million Share Repurchase Authorization

AUSTIN, Texas (July 29, 2026)—Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: QTWO), a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for financial services, today announced results for its second quarter ending June 30, 2026.

GAAP Results for the Second Quarter 2026

Revenues of $219.8 million, up by 13 percent compared to the prior-year quarter and 2 percent from first quarter 2026.

GAAP gross margin of 59.2 percent, up from 53.6 percent in the prior-year quarter and 59.1 percent in first quarter 2026.

GAAP net income of $29.9 million, up from $11.8 million for the prior-year quarter and $26.6 million for first quarter 2026.

Non-GAAP Results for the Second Quarter 2026

Non-GAAP gross margin of 62.3 percent, up from 57.5 percent for the prior-year quarter and 62.1 percent in first quarter 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA of $62.8 million, up from $45.8 million for the prior-year quarter and $60.0 million for first quarter 2026.

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

“We delivered another strong quarter of consistent execution, with solid bookings across our solution portfolio, while also delivering more than 500 basis points of adjusted EBITDA margin expansion from the prior year quarter,” said Matt Flake, Chairman, President and CEO, Q2. "Customers increasingly view Q2 as a strategic partner, evidenced by a top 25 U.S. bank that added relationship pricing this quarter to a partnership that already spans our commercial digital banking and risk and fraud solutions. That same platform breadth is what we believe positions us for the road ahead: extending AI and fraud innovation across our customer base, which was front and center at our largest CONNECT yet. With a healthy pipeline entering the second half, we remain confident in our ability to execute and deliver long-term value.”

“Our record revenue, gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA this quarter demonstrate the continued strength and scalability of our financial model,” said Jonathan Price, CFO, Q2. “We also retired our convertible notes in June, ending the quarter debt-free, which we believe gives us greater flexibility in how we finance the business and additional optionality in how we allocate capital going forward. This performance, coupled with our outlook for the remainder of the year, has given us the confidence to raise our full-year guidance on both revenue and adjusted EBITDA for 2026. We remain dedicated to delivering growth, margin expansion, and improved capital efficiency as we continue to drive value for our shareholders.”

Price added that the Company’s performance, outlook and debt-free balance sheet supported the Board of Directors’ decision to approve up to an additional $350 million of share repurchases, following the $150 million authorization announced in November 2025.

Second Quarter Highlights

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

An expansion agreement with a Top 25 U.S. Enterprise bank to add our relationship pricing solutions, deepening the existing relationship with Q2.

A net new agreement with a Tier 1 bank for our retail and commercial digital banking solutions, won after the bank acquired an existing Q2 customer.

Expansion agreements with two Tier 1 banks to add our relationship pricing solutions, both of which are existing digital banking customers.







Subscription Annualized Recurring Revenue increased to $825.5 million, up 15 percent year-over-year.

Remaining Performance Obligations total, or Backlog, increased by $21.6 million sequentially and $404.3 million year-over-year, resulting in a total committed Backlog of approximately $2.8 billion at quarter-end, representing 1 percent sequential growth and 17 percent year-over-year growth.

In the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, Q2 repurchased 0.5 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock at an average share price of approximately $45.67 for total consideration of $22.9 million. As of the end of the quarter, Q2 had $24.9 million remaining on its $150 million share repurchase authorization announced in November 2025.

CONNECT 26: Customers Move from Interest to Action on AI and Fraud

Record attendance: Q2’s annual CONNECT customer conference drew its largest-ever audience with over 1,500 attendees representing over 900 existing and prospective customers.

Who attended: Participants spanned executives from financial institutions and leaders across relationship pricing, risk & fraud, digital banking and AI, as well as partners from our Innovation Studio ecosystem, reflecting how central Q2 has become to the customer and partner ecosystem.

AI front and center: Q2 introduced Q2 Assistant, an embedded capability that lets bankers use natural language to access information and navigate workflows and was the most-demoed product at the event, and demonstrated Q2 Code, its AI-assisted development capability.

Fraud as a top priority: Q2 showcased its new account takeover capabilities through User Activity Monitoring, which uses AI to detect and intervene on potential compromise in real time, and already has double-digit early-adopter customers.

The takeaway: Customers are moving from AI curiosity to AI adoption, turning to Q2 as a trusted partner for practical, workflow-driven innovation.
.
Share Repurchase Program

Today, Q2 also announces that its Board of Directors has approved up to an additional $350 million of share repurchases, bringing total currently available repurchase capacity to approximately $375 million. Q2 may purchase shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including accelerated share repurchase transactions, block trades, or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.

Financial Outlook

As of July 29, 2026, Q2 Holdings is providing guidance for its third 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 third quarter of 2026 as follows:

Total revenue of $218.5 million to $222.5 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of 8 to 10 percent.

Adjusted EBITDA of $58.5 million to $61.5 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 $881.0 million to $886.0 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of 11 percent.

Adjusted EBITDA of $244.0 million to $248.0 million, representing 28 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 April 29, 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.
