Current report

Further, geopolitical events, such as Russia-Ukraine war, the 2026 Iran conflict, and other military or security-related events globally, may adversely affect our business. For example, our operations in the Middle East have been affected by the 2026 Iran conflict, including disruptions to our business activities in the region and inaccessibility, and potential loss, of certain customer data in connection with a third-party data center infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates on which we relied. Such events may result in a decrease in customer demand for our services, increased scrutiny from customers and regulators, and damage our reputation, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, we may incur significant and unanticipated expenses to mitigate the possibility of further harm, including through emergency data transfers, temporary changes to data processing locations, increased infrastructure costs, or as through the relocation of our employees or data to other regions not affected by the conflict.

Current report

Professional services revenue consists primarily of fixed-fee arrangements to provide implementation and managed services for our Unified-CXM platform. For managed services, our consultants work alongside our customers’ teams to help them realize their CXM goals, including platform configuration, ongoing education and ad-hoc support.

Current report

The increase in subscription revenue was primarily attributable to growth from existing customers, driven by customers expanding their use of our platform, both by increasing their subscription volumes and adding new features. These gains were partially offset by non-renewals and reductions in contract size, particularly among customers adjusting budgets or deferring investments in response to broader economic pressures.

Current report

The increase in professional services revenue was primarily due to implementation services provided in connection with large-scale enterprise projects.

Current report

Research and development expenses remained relatively flat compared to the prior year period.

Current report

The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs of $5.3 million, including higher amortization expense resulting from previously capitalized sales commissions, and was partially offset by lower operational costs.

Current report

General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat compared to the prior year period.

Current report

The decrease in restructuring expenses was primarily attributable to workforce reduction initiatives implemented in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, which were substantially completed during fiscal year 2026, whereas no comparable workforce reduction initiatives were undertaken in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027.

Previous report

Certain prior quarterly and annual amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Previous report

Sprinklr is redefining the world’s ability to make every customer experience extraordinary.

Previous report

We believe that our Unified-CXM platform is highly effective for organizations of all sizes, and we have a highly diverse group of customers across a broad array of industries and geographies. We focus primarily on selling our platform to large global enterprises, as we believe that we have significant competitive advantages attracting and serving such organizations given their complex needs and the broad capabilities our platform offers.

Previous report

Professional services revenue consists of fees associated with providing services that assist our customers with the configuration and optimization of our Unified-CXM software. These fees also include managed services fees where our consultants work as part of our customers’ teams to help leverage the subscription services to execute on their customer experience management goals and enablement services, which consist of initial design, configuration and education services.

Previous report

The increase in subscription revenue was primarily due to increased revenue from existing customers driven by the purchase of additional quantities of current subscription solutions and additional add-on solutions within our platform, as well as demand for our solutions from new customers. Such growth was partially offset by certain existing customers purchasing fewer quantities of current subscription solutions within our platform, as well as certain customers no longer subscribing to our platform, partially driven by macroeconomic challenges.

Previous report

The increase in professional services revenue was primarily due to growth in both implementations and managed services related to Contact Center as a Service (“CCaaS”) delivery capabilities.

Previous report

The increase in research and development expense was primarily due to (i) increased subcontractor and consulting costs of $0.8 million as a result of quality improvement projects implemented in the current fiscal year and (ii) higher personnel costs of $0.8 million, resulting from higher stock compensation, which was primarily driven by new grants during fiscal year 2026. The higher personnel costs were partially offset by cost savings associated with the restructuring activities we implemented in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Previous report

The decrease in sales and marketing expense was primarily due to (i) a decrease in personnel costs of $2.1 million related to lower sales headcount as a result of the restructuring activities we implemented in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and second quarter of fiscal year 2025, (ii) decreased software subscription costs of $0.4 million and (iii) lower consulting costs of $0.3 million as a result of an enablement program that was completed during fiscal year 2025.

Previous report

The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily due to lower consulting costs of $4.6 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in personnel costs of $4.1 million, primarily driven by increased stock compensation expense, mostly related to equity grants during fiscal year 2026 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Previous report

The increase in restructuring expense was due to current quarter restructuring costs associated with delays in employee notifications. The fiscal year 2025 amount relates to reversals in restructuring charges recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 related to the reduction in global workforce implemented in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Refer to Note 13, Restructuring Charges, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Previous report

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended October 31, 2025 and 2024

Previous report

The increase in subscription revenue was primarily due to increased revenue from existing customers driven by the purchase of additional quantities of current subscription solutions and additional add-on solutions within our platform, as well as demand for our solutions from new customers. Such growth was partially offset by certain existing customers purchasing fewer quantities of current subscription solutions within our platform, as well as certain customers no longer subscribing to our platform, partially driven by challenging macroeconomic conditions.

Previous report

The increase in professional services revenue was primarily due to growth in both implementations and managed services related to CCaaS delivery capabilities.

Previous report

The increase in costs of professional services revenue was primarily due to (i) a $6.8 million increase in subcontractor costs as a result of higher partner delivery costs associated with increased professional services revenue and (ii) higher personnel-related costs of $4.7 million, partially driven by increased bonus accrual versus prior year.

Previous report

The increase in research and development expense was primarily due to (i) a $1.9 million increase in subcontractor and consulting costs, as a result of quality improvement projects implemented in the current fiscal year, and (ii) a $1.6 million increase in software subscription costs. These increases were partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease as a result of an increase in capitalized research and development costs.

Previous report

The decrease in sales and marketing expense was primarily due to (i) a decrease in personnel-related costs of $20.6 million, primarily due to lower sales headcount as a result of the restructuring activities we implemented in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, and (ii) a decrease in other marketing-related costs of $4.2 million.

Previous report

The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due (i) a $16.5 million increase in personnel-related costs driven by increased stock compensation expense, primarily related to new grants during fiscal year 2026 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, (ii) an increase in professional and related fees of $2.6 million and (iii) an increase in costs associated with company meetings and events of $0.7 million as a result of an increase in leadership events during fiscal year 2026. These increases were partially offset by (i) lower provision for credit losses of $10.1 million as a result of increased reserves for certain customers that we deemed to be uncollectible accounts during the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 and (ii) lower consulting costs of $8.0 million.

Previous report

The increase in restructuring expense was due to the reduction in global workforce implemented in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 impacting 12% of our workforce versus a 3% impact to the workforce as a result of the reduction in global workforce implemented in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Refer to Note 13, Restructuring Charges, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Previous report

The increase in other income, net was primarily attributable to a $6.3 million increase in net foreign currency gains, partially offset by a $5.4 million decrease in interest income from our money market and short-term investment accounts as a result of lower interest rates and lower average balances in these accounts.

Previous report

The increase in provision for income tax relates primarily to the impact of including U.S. profit before tax in the annual effective tax rate computation for the nine months ended October 31, 2025. For the nine months ended October 31, 2024, we were in a valuation allowance position and therefore did not include U.S. profit before tax in the annual effective tax rate computation. The provision for income tax for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 also includes a $7.8 million discrete income tax charge for non-deductible stock-based compensation and a $6.6 million discrete income tax charge for changes to our uncertain tax positions related to our non-U.S. entities.

Previous report

In April 2023, we entered into cash collateral agreements with Silicon Valley Bank in lieu of a letter of credit facility, which are associated with certain leases. Approximately $1.1 million is outstanding on these cash collateral agreements as of October 31, 2025, which we have classified within restricted cash. As of October 31, 2025, nil and $1.1 million of this restricted cash is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and within other non-current assets, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Remaining Performance Obligation (“RPO”) represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized and includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in future periods. Current RPO (“cRPO”) represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized and includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in the next 12 months.

Previous wording

We believe that net dollar expansion rate (“NDE”) is an indicator of the value that our platform delivers to customers. We calculate NDE to measure our ability to retain and expand subscription revenue from our existing customers. NDE compares our subscription revenue from the same set of customers across comparable periods and reflects customer renewals, expansion, contraction and churn. We calculate NDE by dividing (i) subscription revenue in the trailing 12-month period from those customers who were on our platform during the most recent prior 12-month period by (ii) subscription revenue from the same customers in the preceding prior 12-month period. This calculation is net of upsells, contraction, cancellation or expansion during the period but excludes subscription revenue from new customers. Our NDE, on a trailing 12-month basis, was 102.3% and 107.3% for the 12-month periods ending October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease year-over-year was driven by elevated churn and down-selling of certain existing customers, partially driven by the current macroeconomic environment.

Previous wording

Unfavorable conditions in the economy both in the United States and abroad may negatively affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. For example, macroeconomic events, including fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, the imposition of tariffs in the United States and abroad, the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars and the recent and any future U.S. government shutdown, have led to economic uncertainty both in the United States and globally. Historically, during periods of economic uncertainty and downturns, businesses may slow spending on information technology, which may impact our business and our customers’ businesses. While we have experienced growing inflationary pressures on the cost of wages, rent and data, the net result of inflationary impacts and our efforts to mitigate these impacts have not been material to us during the periods included in this report. In addition, general economic weakness may lead to longer collection cycles for payments due from our customers and an increase in customer provision for credit losses, as well as restructuring initiatives and associated expenses, and customers and potential customers may require extended financial concessions, which could result in adjustments to revenue recognition.

Previous wording

Subscription revenue consists primarily of fees from customers accessing our proprietary Unified-CXM platform, as well as related support services. Subscription revenue is generally recognized ratably over the related contract term beginning on the commencement date of each contract, which is generally the date our service is made available to customers. Our subscriptions typically have a term of one to three years. Historically, we have experienced seasonality in our sales cycle, as a large percentage of our customers make their purchases in the fourth quarter of a given fiscal year and pay us in the first quarter of the subsequent year. This seasonality may be reflected to a much lesser extent, and sometimes may not be immediately apparent, in our revenue, due to the fact that we recognize subscription revenue over the term of the applicable subscription agreement.

Previous wording

Costs of subscription revenue consists primarily of costs to host our software platform, data costs, including cost of third-party data utilized in our platform, personnel-related expenses for our subscription and support operations personnel, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation, professional fees, software costs, travel expenses, the amortization of our capitalized internal-use software and allocated overhead expenses, including facilities costs for our subscription and support operations. We expect that costs of subscription revenue will increase in absolute dollars as we expand our customer base and make continued investments in our cloud infrastructure and support organization.

Gross profit is defined as total revenue less total cost of revenue. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

Previous wording

Our gross margin on subscription revenue is significantly higher than our gross margin on professional services revenue, and as a result our gross margin may vary from period to period if our mix of revenue or costs of revenue fluctuates. In addition, because personnel-related expenses represent the largest component in costs of professional services revenue, we may experience changes in our professional services gross margin due to the timing of delivery of those services. We expect that our gross margin will decline in the near term due to higher data and hosting costs coupled with higher service delivery costs and, in the long term, will vary from period to period.

Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to foreign and U.S. jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Our annual estimated effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate in fiscal 2026 primarily due to the impact of non-deductible items, stock-based compensation and foreign tax rate differential on non-U.S. income and withholding taxes, as well as changes in our uncertain tax positions. Our annual estimated effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate in fiscal 2025 primarily due to a full valuation allowance related to our U.S. deferred tax assets, partially offset by U.S. current state taxes and foreign tax rate differential on non-U.S. income and discrete items relating to releases of valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Current wording

Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to foreign and U.S. jurisdictions in which we conduct business.

The increase in costs of subscription revenue was primarily due to an increase of $25.9 million in third-party data, cloud and network infrastructure costs, partially attributable to increased customer demand as well as higher rates from our third-party providers.

Current wording

The increase in cost of subscription revenue was primarily due to (i) an increase of $5.7 million in third-party cloud, data and network infrastructure costs, partially attributable to increased customer demand, as well as higher rates from our third-party providers, and (ii) higher personnel-related costs of $1.7 million, partially driven by increased headcount.

Previous wording

The increase in costs of professional services revenue was primarily due to (i) a $3.0 million increase in subcontractor costs as a result of higher partner delivery costs associated with increased professional services revenue and (ii) higher personnel-related costs of $2.4 million, partially driven by increased bonus accrual versus prior year.

Current wording

The increase in cost of professional services revenue was primarily due to (i) a $3.2 million increase in subcontractor costs as a result of higher partner delivery costs and (ii) higher personnel-related costs of $1.6 million, partially driven by increased headcount.

The increase in other income, net was primarily due to an increase of $1.2 million associated with net foreign currency gains, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in interest income from our money market and short-term investment accounts as a result of lower average interest rates and lower average balances in these accounts.

Current wording

The decrease in other income, net was primarily due to (i) lower interest income from money market and short-term investments, resulting from lower average balances and interest rates, and (ii) lower net foreign currency losses.

Previous wording

The increase in provision for income tax relates primarily to the impact of including U.S. profit before tax in the annual effective tax rate computation for the three months ended October 31, 2025. For the three months ended October 31, 2024, we were in a valuation allowance position and therefore did not include U.S. profit before tax in the annual effective tax rate computation. The provision for income tax for the three months ended October 31, 2025 also includes a $3.3 million discrete income tax charge for non-deductible stock-based compensation and a $6.2 million discrete income tax charge for changes to our uncertain tax positions related to our non-U.S. entities.

Current wording

The increase in provision for income tax relates primarily to increases in the income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the prior period.

Unfavorable economic conditions in the United States (“U.S.”) and abroad may negatively affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. For example, macroeconomic and geopolitical events, including fluctuations in inflation, interest, and foreign currency rates, the imposition of tariffs in the U.S. and abroad, the Russia-Ukraine war, the 2026 Iran conflict and other military conflicts in the Middle East, and the 2025 U.S. government shutdown, have led to economic uncertainty both in the U.S. and globally. Historically, during periods of economic and geopolitical uncertainty and downturns, businesses may slow spending on information technology, which may impact our business and our customers’ businesses.
