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 harness and utilize data effectively. This negatively impacts risk management, decision making and the experiences of bankers and their clients.

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. FIs need a unified platform that helps them reengineer every experience, from managing complex credit portfolios to streamlining account onboarding and loan origination.

nCino was originally founded in a bank to improve that institution's operations and client service. After realizing that virtually all banks and credit unions were dealing with the same problems—cumbersome legacy technology, fragmented data, disconnected business functions, and a disengaged workforce made it difficult to maintain relevancy in their clients' lives—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 United States ("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").

nCino's approach to market expansion includes strategically building products and acquiring technology to continue to fulfill a platform vision. Over the years, we built and enhanced products internally to ensure innovation and seamless integration across key solutions lines of commercial, small business and consumer banking. Through the strategic acquisitions of SimpleNexus, DocFox, FullCircl, ILT, Visible Equity, FinSuite, and our recent acquisition of Sandbox Banking, we significantly augmented the nCino's Platform's capabilities for mortgage lending, onboarding, account opening, indirect auto lending, and advanced analytics and AI. This strategic approach has allowed us to create a unified platform of best-in-class intelligent solutions, enabling FIs to replace multiple legacy systems, connect their operations, and streamline workflows and processes across various business lines to achieve desired business impact and process improvement.

We generally offer the nCino Platform on a subscription basis pursuant to non-cancellable multi-year contracts that are typically three to five years. nCino has evolved from being a single product workflow solution to offering a platform of best-in-class, intelligent solutions. Our new 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. Starting in fiscal 2025, by moving away from a seat-based pricing model to pricing directly correlated to the FI's assets, we are aligning our revenues to the usefulness the nCino Platform provides as nCino creates efficiencies for our customers. For fiscal 2025, we had a subscription revenue net retention rate of 110%. See Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting Our Operating Results—Subscription Revenue Net Retention Rate” for additional information on subscription revenue retention rates.

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 new asset-based pricing model that formally started in fiscal 2025 will also be a key driver. In addition, growing our customer base will require us to increasingly penetrate markets outside the U.S., which accounted for 21.5% of total revenues for fiscal 2025. For new customers, our sales cycles are typically lengthy, generally ranging from 6 to 9 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 achieve profitability will be adversely affected, which may in turn reduce the value of our common stock.

For fiscal 2023, 2024, and 2025, we had subscription revenue net retention rates of 144%, 116%, and 110%, respectively. The most significant driver of changes in our subscription revenue net retention rate each year has historically been the number of new customers in prior years and the associated phased activation schedules for such customers. In addition, because larger FIs tend to make more sizable purchases, we expect variability in our subscription revenue net retention rates based on the timing and extent of our continued penetration of this portion of the market. Excluding our U.S. mortgage business, the subscription revenue net retention rate for fiscal 2023 was 124%. The moderation in our subscription revenue net retention rate for fiscal 2024 was due to a decline in revenues from customers adversely affected by an increase in mortgage interest rates, from the expiration of licenses utilized for forgiveness monitoring of Paycheck Protection Program loans, and from the acquisition of certain customers by entities that do not currently use our solutions. The moderation in our subscription revenue net retention rate for fiscal 2025 was due primarily to a decline in revenues from customers adversely affected by an increase in mortgage interest rates, and from the acquisition of certain customers by entities that do not currently use our solutions. Our use of subscription revenue net retention rate has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation. Other companies in adjacent markets may calculate subscription revenue net retention rates or similar metrics differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. For fiscal 2025, we refined our methodology for calculating subscription revenue net retention rate to align with the details disclosed in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations regarding the change in subscription revenues. Using our prior calculation methodology, subscription revenue retention rate was 148%, 117%, 112% for fiscal 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.

Historically, the number of new customers in prior years and the associated phased activation schedules for such customer were a significant driver of changes in our subscription revenue net retention rate. Upon transitioning to asset-based pricing, growth in FI assets supported by nCino, the timing of deal signatures in current and comparative periods, and the degree to which customers expand or contract their commitments upon renewal will be more significant drivers of changes in subscription revenue net retention rate. Our use of subscription revenue net retention rate has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation.

We believe our ACV net retention rate over the long term illustrates our success in executing our land and expand strategy, as it demonstrates growing adoption by existing customers, including price increases but net of attrition. We define ACV net retention rate as total ACV at the end of a fiscal year from customers with ACV as of the end of the prior fiscal year, expressed as a percentage of ACV as of the end of the prior fiscal year, converted to U.S. dollar with foreign exchange rates in effect as of the end of the applicable period. We define ACV as the highest annualized subscription fee obligation under customer contracts in effect at the end of the reporting period. ACV net retention rate can occasionally moderate from one period to the next, from customer attrition for example. Our ACV net retention rate was 105%, 102%, and 106% for fiscal 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. The moderation in our ACV net retention rate for fiscal 2024 was due to a decline in ACV from customers adversely affected by an increase in mortgage interest rates, from the expiration of licenses utilized for forgiveness monitoring of Paycheck Protection Program loans, and from the acquisition of customers by non-customers. The increase in our ACV net retention rate for fiscal 2025 was attributable to increased ACV from customers who expanded their adoption of our solutions, offset in part due to a decline in ACV from customers adversely affected by an increase in mortgage rates.

Our subscription revenues are generally recognized ratably over the term of the contract beginning upon activation. For new customers, we may activate a portion of seats at inception of the agreement, with the balance activated at contractually specified points in time thereafter, to pattern our invoicing after the customer’s expected rate of implementation and adoption. Where seats are activated in stages, we charge subscription fees from the date of activation through the anniversary of the initial activation date, and annually thereafter. Subscription fees are generally billed annually in advance while subscription fees for U.S. mortgage are generally billed monthly in advance. Maintenance and support fees, as well as development licenses, are provided over the same periods as the related subscriptions, so fees are invoiced and revenues are recognized over the same periods. Subscription fees invoiced are recorded as deferred revenue pending recognition as revenues. In certain cases, we are authorized to resell access to Salesforce’s CRM solution along with the nCino Platform. When we resell such access, we charge a higher subscription price and remit a higher subscription fee to Salesforce for these subscriptions.

Current wording

Our subscription revenues are generally recognized ratably over the term of the contract beginning upon activation. For new customers, we typically activate all seats at inception of the agreement with stated price increases at specified intervals over the contract term. In these arrangements, the aggregate license fees over the contract term are recognized as revenue in equal amounts annually over the term. We may also activate a portion of seats at inception of the agreement, with the balance of seats activated at contractually specified points in time thereafter. Both approaches pattern the amount of our invoicing to customers after their expected rate of implementation and adoption. Where seats are activated in stages, we charge subscription fees from the date of activation through the anniversary of the initial activation date, and annually thereafter.

Professional Services and Other Revenues. Professional services and other revenues consist of fees for implementation and configuration assistance, training, and advisory services. For enterprise and larger regional FIs, we generally work with SI partners to provide the majority of implementation services for the nCino Platform, for which these SI partners bill our customers directly. We have historically delivered professional services ourselves for community banks and smaller credit unions and our U.S. mortgage business has historically provided professional services directly to its customers. Revenues for implementation, training, and advisory services are generally recognized on a proportional performance basis, based on labor hours incurred relative to total budgeted hours. To date, our losses on professional services contracts have not been material. 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 over time, revenues from established customers are more heavily weighted to subscriptions. While professional services revenues will fluctuate as a percentage of total revenues in the future and tend to be higher in periods of faster growth, over time we expect to see subscription revenues make up an increasing proportion of our total revenues.

Previous wording

We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in several jurisdictions, including the U.S. It is determined by management when a valuation allowance should be recorded, utilizing significant judgement and the use of estimates. In fiscal year 2025, the Company acquired DocFox and recorded a net U.S. deferred tax liability mostly related to identifiable intangible assets. The deferred tax liability recognized provides additional positive evidence that a portion of the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets are realizable. As a result, the Company reduced the historical valuation allowance in the U.S. by $3.6 million.

Current wording

We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in several jurisdictions, including the U.S. and U.K. Management determines when a valuation allowance should be recorded, utilizing significant judgment and the use of estimates. Through acquisitions, the Company recorded a net U.S. deferred tax liability mostly related to identifiable intangible assets, reducing the valuation allowance in the United States by $2.0 million. Additionally, the Company reduced the valuation allowance in the U.K. by $2.8 million due to the ability to utilize acquired deferred tax attributes as part of corporate reorganizations related to foreign acquisitions during the Company’s fiscal 2026.

In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we provide an additional financial metric that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP ("non-GAAP"). Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure helps us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measure.

Current wording

In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, we provide non-GAAP operating income as an additional financial metric that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). Our calculation of non-GAAP operating income is described below. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure helps us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measure.

Previous wording

Accordingly, we believe that this financial measure reflects our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business and provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, and enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects. Although the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may vary from company to company, our detailed presentation may facilitate analysis and comparison of our operating results by management and investors with other peer companies, many of which use a similar non-GAAP financial measure to supplement their GAAP results in their public disclosures. This non-GAAP financial measure is non-GAAP operating income (loss), as discussed below.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. nCino excludes stock-based compensation expenses primarily because they are non-cash expenses that nCino excludes from our internal management reporting processes. nCino’s management also finds it useful to exclude these expenses when they assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses and resource allocations when budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use, nCino believes excluding stock-based compensation expenses allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our recurring core business operating results and those of other companies.

Acquisition Related Expenses. nCino excludes expenses related to acquisitions as they limit comparability of operating results with prior periods. Acquisition-related expenses, include but are not limited to, costs incurred from third-party professional services firms in connection with business combination and one-time integration activities. We believe these costs are non-recurring in nature and outside the ordinary course of business.

Current wording

Transaction-Related Expenses. nCino excludes expenses related to mergers and acquisitions or divestitures as they limit comparability of operating results with prior periods. Transaction-related expenses include, but are not limited to, costs incurred from third-party professional services firms, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and one-time integration activities. We believe these costs are non-recurring in nature and outside the ordinary course of business.

Previous wording

Restructuring Costs. nCino excludes costs incurred related to bespoke restructuring plans and other one-time costs that are fundamentally different in strategic nature and frequency from ongoing initiatives. We believe excluding these costs facilitates a more consistent comparison of operating performance over time. See Note 18 "Restructuring" of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the charges related to the restructuring.

As of January 31, 2025, we had $120.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and an accumulated deficit of $385.3 million. Our net losses have been driven by our investments in developing the nCino Platform and scaling our sales and marketing organization and finance and administrative functions to support our rapid growth.

Previous wording

To date, we have funded our capital needs through issuances of common stock including our initial public offering in July 2020, operating cash flows, and our revolving line of credit. We generally bill and collect from our customers annually in advance. Our billings are subject to seasonality, with billings in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year substantially higher than in the second and third quarters. Because we recognize revenues ratably, our deferred revenue balance mirrors the seasonality of our billings.

Previous wording

We believe that current cash and cash equivalents as well as borrowings available under the 2024 Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts to enhance the nCino Platform and introduce new solutions, market acceptance of our solutions, the continued expansion of our sales and marketing activities, capital expenditure requirements, and any potential future acquisitions. We expect capital expenditures will be appreciably higher in absolute dollars in fiscal 2026 for planned office build-outs, mainly for an international office, compared to prior fiscal years to accommodate our growth, which we estimate to be approximately $8.4 million. We may from time-to-time seek to raise additional capital to support our growth. Any equity financing we may undertake could be dilutive to our existing stockholders, and any debt financing we may undertake could require debt service and financial and operational covenants that could adversely affect our business. There is no assurance we would be able to obtain future financing on acceptable terms or at all.
