Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in the section titled “Risk Factors.” Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future. Our fiscal year ends on January 31 of each year and references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to a fiscal year mean the year in which that fiscal year ends. For example, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “fiscal 2027” refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2027.

Overview

As employees at financial institutions do their daily work and serve their clients, they often face inefficiencies from disparate systems, broken workflows, manual processes, and the inability to utilize their data effectively. This negatively impacts risk management, decision making, and the experiences of bankers and their clients. Financial Institutions (“FIs”) need a unified platform that helps them reengineer every experience, from managing complex credit portfolios to streamlining account onboarding and loan origination.

nCino helps FIs of all sizes optimize their operations by embedding banking intelligence directly into the tools FI employees already use. nCino's data foundation, which was developed from the workflows, decisions, and outcomes of FIs, enables our platform to deliver AI-driven capabilities across our solutions. With the nCino Platform, FIs can:

•operate more intelligently,

•improve efficiency,

•elevate employee and client experiences, and

•manage risk and compliance continuously rather than reactively.

nCino was originally founded in a bank to improve that institution’s operations and client service. Its founders quickly realized that virtually all banks and credit unions faced the same core problems—cumbersome legacy technology, fragmented data, disconnected business functions, and a disengaged workforce. nCino was spun out as a separate company in late 2011 to help more institutions solve these challenges using cloud-based technology.

We initially focused on developing the nCino Platform to transform commercial and small business lending for community and regional banks in the U.S. We scaled the platform to enterprise banks in the U.S. in 2014, and then internationally in 2017. We have subsequently expanded across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Japan and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”).

Over the years, we've built and enhanced our products to ensure innovation and seamless integration across key solution lines of commercial, small business, and consumer banking, including mortgage. We have strategically built and acquired technology, including SimpleNexus, DocFox, FullCircl, ILT, Visible Equity, FinSuite, and Sandbox Banking, to significantly augment the capabilities of the nCino Platform for mortgage lending, onboarding, account opening, indirect auto lending, and advanced analytics and AI. This approach has allowed us to create a unified platform of best-in-class intelligent solutions, underpinned by our rich data foundation, enabling FIs to replace multiple legacy systems, connect their operations, and streamline workflows and processes across various business lines to achieve desired impacts and process improvements.

We generally offer the nCino Platform on a subscription basis pursuant to non-cancelable multi-year contracts that are typically three to five years in duration. nCino has evolved from a single product workflow solution to a platform of best-in-class, intelligent solutions. Our Intelligent Solution Framework pricing model helps ensure the value-based positioning and pricing of our products and creates an opportunity to embed intelligence into all our solutions.

We sell our solutions directly through our business development managers, account executives, field sales engineers, and customer success managers. Our sales efforts in the U.S. are organized around FIs based on size, whereas internationally, we focus our sales efforts by geography. As of April 30, 2026, we had 182 sales and sales support personnel in the U.S. and 125 sales and support personnel in offices outside the U.S.

To help customers go live with our solutions, we offer professional services including configuration and implementation, training, and advisory services. For enterprise FIs, we generally work with system integration (“SI”) partners such as Accenture, Deloitte, and PwC for the delivery of professional services for the nCino Platform. For regional FIs, we work with SIs such as West Monroe Partners, and for community banks, we work with SIs or perform configuration and implementation ourselves. We expect enterprise FIs to make up a greater proportion of our nCino Platform sales.

Current Events

On March 30, 2026, the Company entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the 2024 Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Lenders provided to nCino OpCo, Inc. (the “Borrower”) a senior secured incremental term loan of $200.0 million (the “Term Loan”), which matures on October 28, 2029. The Term Loan requires scheduled quarterly principal payments of $2.5 million, with the remaining balance due at maturity. The Term Loan may be voluntarily prepaid at any time without penalty; however, any repaid amounts may not be reborrowed. The interest rate terms, guarantee structure, collateral provisions, and financial covenants applicable to the Term Loan are consistent with those governing the 2024 Credit Facility. The proceeds were used to reduce a portion of the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility and to finance an accelerated share repurchase program discussed below. See Note 10 “Debt” of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

On March 31, 2026, the Company entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., authorized by the Board of Directors, for $100.0 million. The initial delivery of shares for the full purchase price of $100.0 million represented approximately 80% of the total shares to be repurchased. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be determined generally by the volume-weighted average price of nCino's common stock during the term of the transaction, less a discount and subject to adjustments. Final settlement is expected to occur in the second quarter of fiscal 2027. See Note 8 “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation” of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

For the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2026, our total revenues were $144.1 million and $159.4 million, respectively, representing a 10.6% increase. For the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2026, our subscription revenues were $125.6 million and $140.9 million, respectively, representing a 12.2% increase. We recorded net income attributable to nCino, Inc. of $13.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to a net income attributable to nCino, Inc. of $5.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025.

Factors Affecting Our Operating Results

Market Adoption of Our Solution. Our future growth depends on our ability to expand our reach to new FI customers and increase adoption with existing customers as they broaden their use of our solutions within and across lines of business. Our success in growing our customer base and expanding adoption of our solutions by existing customers requires a focused direct sales engagement and the ability to convince key decision makers at FIs to replace legacy third-party point solutions or internally developed software with our solutions. Our ability to successfully implement our asset-based pricing model, which we began implementing in fiscal 2025, and our success in implementing AI capabilities in ways that our customers perceive as adding value, will also be key drivers. In addition, growing our customer base will require us to increasingly penetrate markets outside the U.S., which accounted for 22.8% of total revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2026. For new customers, our sales cycles are typically lengthy, generally ranging from six to nine months for smaller FIs to 12 to 18 months or more for larger FIs. Key to landing new customers is our ability to successfully take our existing customers live and help them achieve measurable returns on their investment, thereby turning them into referenceable accounts. If we are unable to successfully address the foregoing challenges, our ability to grow our business and sustain profitability will be adversely affected, which may in turn reduce the value of our common stock.

Mix of Subscription and Professional Services Revenues. The initial deployment of our solutions by our customers requires a period of implementation and configuration services that typically average less than six months, but may extend beyond twelve months, depending on scope. As a result, during the initial go-live period for a customer on the nCino Platform, professional services revenues generally make up a substantial portion of our revenues from that customer, whereas

27

over time, revenues from established customers are more heavily weighted to subscriptions. While professional services revenues will fluctuate as a percentage of total revenues, we expect subscription revenues will continue to make up an increasing proportion of our total revenues.

Macroeconomic Environment. We are currently operating in a fluctuating interest rate environment with inflationary pressures. These fluctuations have had an impact on the real estate market in the U.S. and specifically, the demand for mortgages and mortgage-related products and services, which has had a negative impact on our U.S. mortgage business.

We will continue to monitor the impact the macroeconomic environment may have on our business.

Continued Investment in Innovation and Growth. We have made substantial investments in product development, sales and marketing, and strategic acquisitions since our inception to achieve a leadership position in our market and grow our revenues and customer base. We intend to continue to increase our investment in product development in the coming years to maintain and build on this advantage. We also intend to invest in sales and marketing both in the U.S. and internationally to further grow our business. To capitalize on the market opportunity we see ahead of us, we expect to continue to optimize our operating plans for revenue growth and profitability.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenues

We derive our revenues from subscription and professional services and other revenues.

Subscription Revenues. Our subscription revenues consist principally of fees from customers for accessing our solutions and maintenance and support services that we generally offer under non-cancellable multi-year contracts, which are typically three to five years in length. Specifically, we offer:

Our total revenues were $476.5 million, $540.7 million, and $594.8 million for fiscal 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively, representing an 11.7% compound annual growth rate. Our subscription revenues were $409.5 million, $469.2 million, and $523.1 million for fiscal 2024, 2025, and 2026, representing a 13.0% compound annual growth rate. We recorded net income (loss) attributable to nCino in fiscal 2024, 2025, and 2026 of $(42.3) million, $(37.9) million, and $5.2 million, respectively. For fiscal 2026, our total subscription revenues include $17.3 million of inorganic revenues not present in comparative prior periods, consisting of FullCircl for the first three quarters of fiscal 2026 and Sandbox Banking following its acquisition on February 7, 2025 (the “Sandbox Acquisition Date”). We have included the financial results of Sandbox Banking in the consolidated financial statements from the Sandbox Acquisition Date. For fiscal 2026, our financial results also include the operating results of our fiscal 2025 acquisitions of DocFox, ILT, and FullCircl from their acquisition dates of March 20, 2024 (the “DocFox Acquisition Date”), April 1, 2024 (the “ILT Acquisition Date”), and November 5, 2024 (the “FullCircl Acquisition Date”), respectively.

Significant Events in Fiscal 2026

of an additional earn-out opportunity of up to $10.0 million. This acquisition strengthens our ability to enhance data connectivity and streamline operations for banks and credit unions through an industry-leading iPaaS solution for a more intelligent and harmonious technology platform. See Note 6 “Business Combinations” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

In March 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock (the “March 2025 Stock Repurchase Program”) which we completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. In December 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the December 2025 Stock Repurchase Program of up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock pursuant to which we repurchased 1.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock for $25.0 million, excluding transaction costs and excise tax associated with the repurchases, in fiscal 2026. As of January 31, 2026, $75.0 million remained available for future repurchases under the December 2025 Stock Repurchase Program. To date we have not repurchased any shares in fiscal 2027. See Note 8 “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

We funded the purchase of Sandbox Banking and our purchases under the Stock Repurchase Programs primarily through borrowings under our credit facility.

On May 27, 2025, we announced a workforce reduction of approximately 7% and office space reductions in certain markets (collectively, the “2026 Restructuring Plan”) in furtherance of our efforts to improve operational efficiencies.
