Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business: nCino, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”), is a cloud banking company that provides software solutions to financial institutions to streamline employee and client interactions. The Company is headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina and has various locations in the U.S., North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South Africa. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “nCino,” and the “Company” refer to nCino, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Fiscal Year End: The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal year 2026, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as a variable interest entity in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition including determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, variable consideration, and stand-alone selling price; the average period of benefit associated with costs capitalized to obtain revenue contracts; fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations; fair value of contingent consideration; the useful lives of intangible assets; income taxes and the related valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; redemption value of redeemable non-controlling interest; and stock-based compensation. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis using historical experience and other factors. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Segments: The Company operates asone operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to make operating decisions, allocate resources, and assess performance. The Company’s CODM allocates resources and assesses performance at the consolidated level.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers: The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents exceeded federally insured limits at January 31, 2025 and 2026. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash with high-credit-quality financial institutions.

As of January 31, 2025 and 2026, no individual customer represented more than 10% of accounts receivable. For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026, no individual customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues.

Revenue Recognition: The Company derives revenues primarily from subscription services and professional services. Revenues are recognized when a contract exists between the Company and a customer and upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of subscription and professional services, which may be capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations, or in the case of offerings such as subscription services and support, accounted for as a single performance obligation. Revenues are recognized net of allowances and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

Determination of the transaction price;

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Recognition of revenues when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Subscription revenues primarily consist of fees for providing customers access to the Company’s solutions, with routine customer support and maintenance related to email and phone support, bug fixes, and unspecified software updates, and upgrades released when and if available during the maintenance term. Revenues are generally recognized on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that the Company’s service is made available to the customer, which the Company believes best reflects the manner in which the Company’s customers utilize the Company’s subscription offerings. Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the software supporting the Company’s solutions at any time and, as a result, are accounted for as a service contract. Generally, the Company’s subscription contracts are three to five years in length, billed annually in advance, are non-cancelable, and do not contain refund-type provisions. U.S. mortgage contracts are generally billed monthly. Subscription arrangements that are cancelable generally have penalty clauses.

Professional services revenues primarily consist of fees for deployment, configuration, and optimization services, as well as training. The majority of the Company’s professional services contract revenues are recognized over time based on a proportional performance methodology which utilizes input methods. The Company’s professional services contracts are billed on a time and materials or fixed fee basis.

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

Most of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. The Company determines SSP by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the Company’s discounting practices, the size and volume of the Company’s transactions, the customer demographic, the geographic area where services are sold, price lists, the Company’s go-to-market strategy, historical sales, and contract prices. As the Company’s go-to-market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to SSP.

Given the variability of pricing, the Company uses a range of SSP. The Company determines the SSP range using information that may include market conditions or other observable inputs. The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of products and services by customer size.

Costs Capitalized to Obtain Revenue Contracts

The Company capitalizes incremental costs of obtaining a non-cancelable subscription and support revenue contract if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The capitalized amounts are subsequently amortized over the estimated period of benefit. Capitalized amounts consist primarily of sales commissions paid to the Company’s direct sales force. Capitalized amounts also include (1) amounts paid to employees other than the direct sales force who earn incentive payouts under annual compensation plans that are tied to the value of contracts acquired and (2) the associated payroll taxes and fringe benefit costs associated with the payments to these employees. Capitalized costs related to new revenue contracts or on upsell of existing contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis over four tofive years, which, although longer than the typical initial contract period, reflects the average period of benefit, including expected contract renewals. In arriving at this average period of benefit, the Company evaluated both qualitative and quantitative factors which included the estimated life cycles of its offerings and its customer attrition. Commissions paid relating to contract renewals are not commensurate with sales commissions paid on initial contracts and as such are deferred and amortized over the related renewal period. The capitalized amounts are recoverable through future revenue streams under all non-cancelable customer contracts. The Company periodically evaluates whether there have been any changes in its business, the market conditions in which it operates, or other events which would indicate that its amortization period should be changed or if there are potential indicators of impairment. Any changes in the anticipated period of benefit or the average renewal term are recognized on a prospective basis upon occurrence. Amortization of capitalized costs to obtain revenue contracts is included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Judgments

Contracts with customers may include multiple services requiring allocation of the transaction price across the different performance obligations.

SSP is established by maximizing the amount of observable inputs, primarily actual historical selling prices for performance obligations where available and includes consideration of factors such as go-to-market model and customer size. Where SSP may not be directly observable, the Company estimates SSP using readily available information that may include reviewing pricing practices, performance obligations with similar customers, and selling models.

At times, the Company provides credits or incentives to its customers. Known and estimable credits and incentives represent a form of variable consideration, which are determined at contract inception and reduce the revenues recognized for a particular contract. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews and updates its estimates as additional information becomes available. The Company believes that there will not be significant changes to its estimates of variable consideration as of January 31, 2026.

Principal vs. Agent Considerations

The Company evaluates whether it is the principal or agent with respect to vendor reseller agreements pursuant to which the Company resells certain third-party solutions along with the Company’s solutions. Where the Company is the principal, it first obtains control of the inputs to the specific good or service and directs their use to create the combined output. The Company’s control is evidenced by its involvement in the integration of the good or service on its platform before it is transferred to its customers and is further supported by the Company being primarily responsible to its customers and having a level of discretion in establishing pricing. The Company has determined that, generally, the Company is acting as the principal and reports revenues from these types of contracts on a gross basis, meaning the amounts billed to customers are recorded as revenues and expenses incurred are recorded as cost of revenues.

The Company has a reseller agreement in place with our largest vendor to utilize their platform and to develop the Company’s cloud-based banking software as an application within their hosted environment. This agreement was amended during fiscal 2024 extending its term through January 31, 2031, and will automatically renew in annual increments thereafter unless either party gives notice of non-renewal before the end of the initial term or the respective renewal term.

Deferred Revenue: Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from subscription services, including non-cancelable and non-refundable committed funds and deposits. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue recognition criteria have been met. Customers are typically invoiced for these agreements in advance of regular annual installments and revenues are recognized ratably over the contractual subscription period. The deferred revenue balance is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the compounding effects of renewals, invoice duration, invoice timing, size, and new business linearity. Deferred revenue does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year non-cancelable subscription agreements. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as deferred revenue, current portion, and the remaining portion is recorded as deferred revenue, net of current portion on the consolidated balance sheets.

Payment terms vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 45 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing services, such as invoicing at the beginning of a subscription term with revenues recognized ratably over the contract period, and not to provide financing to customers. Any implied financing costs are considered insignificant in the context of the Company’s contracts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at fair value.

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash consists of deposits held as collateral for the Company’s bank guarantees issued in place of security deposits for certain property leases and credit cards at January 31, 2025 and only for certain property leases at January 31, 2026. Restricted cash is included in long-term prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2025 and in prepaid expenses and other current assets and long-term prepaid expenses and other assets at January 31, 2026 in the consolidated balance sheet.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances: A receivable is recorded when an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment exists, such that only the passage of time is required before payment of consideration is due. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Certain performance obligations may require payment before delivery of the service to the customer. The Company recognizes a contract asset in the form of accounts receivable when the Company has an unconditional right to payment, and the Company records a contract asset in the form of unbilled accounts receivable when revenues earned on a contract exceeds the billings. The Company’s standard billing terms are annual in advance, while U.S. mortgage standard billing terms are monthly. An unbilled accounts receivable is a contract asset related to the delivery of the Company’s subscription services and professional services for which the related billings will occur in a future period. Unbilled accounts receivable consists of (i) revenues recognized for professional services performed but not yet billed and (ii) revenues recognized from non-cancelable, multi-year orders in which fees increase annually but for which the Company is not contractually able to invoice until a future period. Accounts receivable are reported at their gross outstanding balance reduced by an allowance for estimated receivable losses, which includes allowances for doubtful accounts and a reserve for expected credit losses.

The Company records allowances for doubtful accounts based upon the credit worthiness of customers, historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable, current market and economic conditions, and supportable forecasts about the future. Relevant risk characteristics include customer size and historical loss patterns. This estimate is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary. The Company records the allowance against bad debt expense through the consolidated statements of operations, included in general and administrative expenses, up to the amount of revenues recognized to date. Any incremental allowance is recorded as an offset to deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Receivables are written off and charged against the recorded allowance when the Company has exhausted collection efforts without success.

A summary of activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts and reserve for expected credit losses is as follows:

Balance, end of period$1,451$1,229$2,825

Leases: The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception date based on whether there is an identified asset and whether the Company controls the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Company determines the classification of the lease, whether operating or financing, at the lease commencement date, which is the date the leased assets are made available for use. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for its facilities and equipment leases. The Company did not have any finance leases as of January 31, 2025 or January 31, 2026.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term reflects the non-cancelable period of the lease together with options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such option. Variable costs, such as common area maintenance costs, are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities, but are expensed as incurred. If an implicit rate is not readily determinable from the Company’s leases, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lease expense for such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and commences once the asset is placed in service or is ready for its intended use. The estimated useful lives by asset classification are generally as follows:

Asset ClassificationEstimated Useful Life
Furniture and fixtures3-7 years
Computers and equipment3 years
Buildings40 years
Leasehold improvementsShorter of remaining life of the lease term or estimated useful life

Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from their respective accounts, and any gain or loss on such retirement is reflected in operating expenses.

Financing Obligations: The Company records assets and liabilities for lease arrangements where the Company has continued involvement due to purchase options and is deemed to be the owner for accounting purposes.

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Each period, the Company evaluates the estimated remaining useful life of its intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.

Impairment Assessment: The Company evaluates intangible assets and long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This includes but is not limited to significant adverse changes in business climate, market conditions, or other events that indicate an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows used in the test for recoverability are less than the carrying amount of these assets or asset group, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. There were no material impairments of intangible assets or long-lived assets during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather the carrying amounts of these assets are assessed for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually on November 1, the first day of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred between annual impairment tests. The Company hasone reporting unit, therefore the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the entity level. To perform its impairment testing, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative factors we consider include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, company-specific events, changes in circumstances, and our share price. If the qualitative factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit, then we do not consider the assigned goodwill to be impaired. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative assessment is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative assessment. An impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value, up to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. There wasno goodwill impairment for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Variable Interest Entity: The Company holds an interest in a Japanese company (“nCino K.K.”) that is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). nCino K.K. is considered a VIE as it has insufficient equity capital to finance its activities without additional financial support. The Company is the primary beneficiary of nCino K.K. as it has the power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of nCino K.K. and has the obligation to absorb expected losses and the right to receive expected benefits that could be significant to nCino K.K., in accordance with accounting guidance. As a result, the Company consolidated nCino K.K. and all significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated. The Company will continue to assess whether it has a controlling financial interest and whether it is the primary beneficiary at each reporting period. Other than the Company’s equity investments, the Company has not provided financial or other support to nCino K.K. which it was not contractually obligated to provide. The assets of the VIE can only be used to settle the obligations of the VIE and the creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the Company. The assets and liabilities of the VIE were not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements except for cash which is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 2 “Variable Interest Entity and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest” for additional information regarding the Company’s variable interest.

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest: Redeemable non-controlling interest relates to minority investors of nCino K.K. An agreement with the minority investors of nCino K.K. contains redemption features whereby the interest held by the minority investors are redeemable either at the option of the (i) minority investors, or (ii) the Company, both beginning on the eighth anniversary of the initial capital contribution. If the interest of the minority investors were to be redeemed under this agreement, the Company would be required to redeem the interest based on a prescribed formula derived from the relative revenues of nCino K.K. and the Company. The balance of the redeemable non-controlling interest is reported at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the redeemable non-controlling interest’s share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its estimated redemption value. The resulting changes in the estimated redemption amount (increases or decreases) are recorded with corresponding adjustments against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in-capital. These interests are presented on the consolidated balance sheets outside of equity under the caption “Redeemable non-controlling interest.”

Business Combinations: Several valuation methods may be used to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and may be subject to refinement due to unanticipated events and circumstances. For intangible assets, the Company typically uses income-based methods of valuation (for example, the multi-period excess earnings method is used to estimate the fair value estimate of customer relationships and the relief from royalty method is used in the fair value estimate of developed technologies). These methods typically start with a forecast of all of the expected future net cash flows for each asset. These cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in these methods are forecasted revenues, obsolescence life and factor, customer attrition rate, and the discount rate among other assumptions.

Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially recorded in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. The Company continues to collect information and reevaluates these estimates and assumptions quarterly and records any adjustments to the Company’s preliminary estimates to goodwill provided that the Company is within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

For acquisitions involving additional consideration to be transferred to the selling parties in the event certain future events occur or conditions are met (“contingent consideration”), the Company recognizes the acquisition-date fair value of contingent consideration as part of the consideration transferred in exchange for the business combination. Contingent consideration meeting the criteria to be classified as equity in the consolidated balance sheets is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is recorded within stockholders’ equity. Contingent consideration classified as a liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved, with any changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Investments: The Company’s investments are non-marketable equity investments without readily determinable fair value and for which the Company does not have control or significant influence. The investments are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairment as permitted by the measurement alternative. The Company assesses at each reporting period if the investments continue to qualify for the measurement alternative. Gains or losses resulting from observable price changes are recognized currently in Other income (expense), net on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company assesses the investments whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investments may not be recoverable.

Debt Issuance Costs: Debt issuance costs are initially deferred and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the debt. The Company uses the straight-line basis as it approximates the amounts calculated under the effective-interest method. Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the secured revolving credit facility are considered long-term and are included in long-term prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Cost of Revenues: Cost of subscription and support revenues consists of costs related to hosting the Company’s software solutions and employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expenses and allocated overhead associated with customer support. Cost of professional services and other revenues consists of employee-related costs associated with these services, including stock-based compensation expenses, and allocated overhead, and the cost of subcontractors. Allocated overhead includes costs such as information technology infrastructure, rent and occupancy charges, along with employee benefit costs, and taxes based upon a percentage of total compensation expense. As such, general overhead expenses are reflected in each cost of revenues and operating expenses category. In addition, subscription cost of revenues includes amortization of acquired developed technology.

Research and Development: Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation associated with our engineering, product and quality assurance personnel, as well as allocated overhead. Research and development expenses also include the cost of third-party contractors. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Treasury Stock: We account for treasury stock under the cost method and present treasury stock, including any applicable commissions, fees or excise taxes, as a component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of stockholders’ equity.

Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and consist of advertising, third-party marketing, branded marketing, and conference and event expenses. Advertising expenses are recorded in sales and marketing expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and were $7.7 million, $8.7 million, and $12.3 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively.

Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are also recorded for any tax attributes, such as net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment within income tax expense. The Company reflects the expected amount of income taxes to be paid or refunded during the year as current income tax expense or benefit, as applicable.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company follows the accounting standards on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed, or expected to be claimed, on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the benefit having a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting interim periods.

When and if applicable, potential interest and penalties are accrued as incurred, within the income tax provision.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss): Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is reported as a component of stockholders’ equity and includes unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments.

Foreign Currency: The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is generally the local currency. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded as a separate component on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) recorded in the foreign currency translation line item. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Equity transactions are translated using historical exchange rates.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses due to transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in other income (expense), net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and were $(1.2) million, $(10.5) million, and $17.3 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively, primarily related to remeasurement of various intercompany loans.

Stock-Based Compensation: As further described in Note 8 “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The Company establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and recognizes expense on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the applicable vesting period. The estimated forfeiture rate applied is based on historical forfeiture rates.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share: Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to nCino, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, net of treasury stock.

Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock, which is comprised of stock options issued and outstanding, nonvested RSUs issued and outstanding, and shares issuable pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) when determining the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. There is no difference between the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share when there is a net loss because inclusion of potentially issuable shares would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance includes amendments to enhance existing income tax disclosure requirements, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis with the option to apply the ASU retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, and applied the new disclosure requirements prospectively to the current annual period. Prior period disclosures have not been adjusted to reflect the new disclosure requirements. See Note 9 “Income Taxes” for further detail.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The guidance includes amendments to require public companies to provide additional disclosure about certain costs and expenses. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective basis with the option to apply the ASU retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The guidance includes amendments that provide a practical expedient for measuring credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets under ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU is effective for our annual and interim period reporting beginning in fiscal year 2027 on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which clarifies and modernizes certain aspects of the accounting for, and disclosure of, internal-use software costs. The ASU removes all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which intends to improve the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarify when it applies. The amendments also provide additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. ASU 2025-11 does not intend to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with the option to apply the guidance prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Variable Interest Entity and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

In October 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Japan Cloud Computing, L.P. and M30 LLC (collectively, the “Investors”) to engage in the investment, organization, management, and operation of nCino K.K. which is focused on the distribution of the Company’s products in Japan. In October 2019, the Company initially contributed $4.7 million in cash in exchange for 51% of the outstanding common stock of nCino K.K. In October 2023, the Company made a further investment in nCino K.K. of $1.0 million that, including additional investments in nCino K.K. of $1.0 million by existing third-party investors in October 2023, maintained the Company’s ownership of 51%. As of January 31, 2026, the Company controls a majority of the outstanding common stock in nCino K.K.

All of the common stock held by the Investors is callable by the Company or puttable by the Investors at the option of the Investors or at the option of the Company beginning on the eighth anniversary of the agreement with the Investors. Should the call or put option be exercised, the redemption value would be determined based on a prescribed formula derived from the relative revenues of nCino K.K. and the Company and may be settled, at the Company’s discretion, with the Company’s stock or cash or a combination of the foregoing. As a result of the put right available to the Investors, the redeemable non-controlling interest in nCino K.K. is classified outside of permanent equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the activity in the redeemable non-controlling interests for the periods indicated below:

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2. Significant other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3. Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value as of January 31, 2025 and 2026 because of the relatively short duration of these instruments.

The carrying amount of any outstanding borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the variable interest rates of the borrowings.

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. The following table summarizes the

Company’s financial assets measured at fair value as of January 31, 2025 and 2026 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation:

Fair value measurements on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2025

Total assets$10,899$—$—
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration (included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities)$—$—$9,700
Total liabilities$—$—$9,700

All of the Company’s money market accounts are classified within Level 1 because the Company’s money market accounts are valued using quoted market prices in active exchange markets for identical assets.

The following table summarizes the change in fair value of the contingent consideration with significant unobservable inputs:

Balance, January 31, 2025$—
Contingent consideration in connection with business acquisition8,100
Changes in fair value1,600
Balance, January 31, 2026$9,700

The contingent consideration consists of the potential earn-out payment related to the Company’s acquisition of Alphapack, Co. dba Sandbox Banking (“Sandbox Banking”) on February 7, 2025, and has a maximum potential payment of $10.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration can result from changes in assumed discount periods and rates, and from changes pertaining to the estimated or actual achievement of the defined milestones. This contingent liability was classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in fair values of contingent consideration are recognized in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The unobservable inputs used in the valuation as of January 31, 2026 included an expected payment in the first half of fiscal 2027, a weighted average expected achievement percentage of 100.0%, and a discount rate of 6.7%.

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025 and 2026.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include the investments accounted for under the measurement alternative. Unrealized gains as a result of an observable price change were $0.2 million, $0.0 million, and $0.5 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively. Cumulative unrealized gains were $0.7 million for investments accounted for under the measurement alternative as of January 31, 2026. There wasno impairment recognized for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Realized gains from the sale of an investment reflect the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value of the investment at the beginning of the period or the purchase date, if later. Realized gains were $0.0 million, $0.0 million, and $1.2 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively. See Note 14 “Related-Party Transactions” for additional information on the sale of an investment.

Revenues by geography are determined based on the region of the Company’s contracting entity, which may be different from the region of the customer.

Contract Amounts

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, is as follows as of January 31, 2025 and 2026:

Allowance for doubtful accounts(1,229)(2,825)
Other accounts receivable1,9601,505
Total accounts receivable, net$146,787$166,540

Deferred Revenue and Remaining Performance Obligations

Significant movements in the deferred revenue balance during the period consisted of increases due to payments received or due in advance prior to the transfer of control of the underlying performance obligations to the customer and $5.0 million from acquisitions, which were offset by decreases due to revenues recognized in the period. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, $191.1 million of revenues were recognized out of the deferred revenue balance as of January 31, 2025.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenues that have not yet been recognized, which include both deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenues in future periods. Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations is influenced by several factors, including the timing of renewals, average contract terms, and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company applies practical expedients to exclude amounts related to performance obligations that are billed and recognized as they are delivered, optional purchases that do not represent material rights, and any estimated amounts of variable consideration that are subject to constraint.

Remaining performance obligations were $1.3 billion as of January 31, 2026. The Company expects to recognize approximately 66% of its remaining performance obligations as revenues in the next 24 months, approximately 28% in the following 25 to 48 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Costs Capitalized to Obtain Revenue Contracts

During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026, the Company amortized $9.9 million, $12.0 million, and $15.1 million of capitalized contract acquisition costs within sales and marketing expense, respectively. The Company didnot incur any impairment losses during these periods.

Capitalized contract acquisition costs were $37.2 million and $47.9 million as of January 31, 2025 and 2026, of which $23.7 million and $30.7 million were long-term in the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The remaining balance of the capitalized costs to obtain contracts was current.

The Company acquired DocFox for its complementary product set, which helps simplify and automate the onboarding and account opening process. The Company has included the financial results of DocFox in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations from the DocFox Acquisition Date. Including the $2.0 million in post combination expense referenced below, transaction costs associated with the DocFox acquisition were approximately $3.9 million and were recorded in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The Company paid a total of $74.3 million in cash as of the DocFox Acquisition Date. Included in the total cash paid was $6.2 million for DocFox common stock options that were cash settled on the DocFox Acquisition Date. The $6.2 million fair value of the DocFox common stock options was allocated between consideration transferred and post combination expense in the amounts of $4.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. As there was no future service requirement due to accelerated vesting of these options, the entire $2.0 million, included within general and administrative expenses, was recorded as transaction cost immediately following the acquisition and not in consideration transferred. The estimated fair value of the consideration transferred was $72.4 million on the DocFox Acquisition Date.

In addition, the Company issued 198,505 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) with an approximate fair value of $6.1 million to certain employees of DocFox, which will vest over four years subject to such employees’ continued employment. The RSUs will be recorded as stock-based compensation expense post-acquisition as the RSUs vest and has been excluded from the purchase consideration.

The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method and, as a result, tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values at the DocFox Acquisition Date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recognized as goodwill. The Company determined the acquisition date contract assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 606.

Net assets acquired$62,942

Initial accounting for the acquisition is not complete, and further measurement period adjustments may occur in fiscal year 2027, but no later than one year from the Sandbox Acquisition Date. The area of the acquisition that remains preliminary relates to finalizing our estimate of the impact of acquisition accounting on deferred income tax assets or liabilities, including uncertain tax positions. As the initial acquisition accounting is based on preliminary assessments, actual values may differ materially when final information becomes available. The Company believes the information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company will continue to evaluate these items until they are satisfactorily resolved and make necessary adjustments, within the allowable measurement period.

The following table sets forth the components of the preliminary fair value of identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives over which the acquired intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis, as this approximates the pattern in which economic benefits of the assets are consumed as of the Sandbox Acquisition Date:

Stock Repurchase Programs

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”). In December 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock (the “December 2025 Stock Repurchase Program”).

As of January 31, 2026, the Company had completed the purchase authorization under the March 2025 Stock Repurchase Program and $75.0 million remained available for future repurchases under the December 2025 Stock Repurchase Program.

The Company may make repurchases, from time to time, through open market purchases, block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or by other means. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases under this authorization. The volume, price, timing, and manner of any repurchases will be determined at the Company’s discretion, subject to general market conditions, as well as the Company’s management of capital, general business conditions, other investment opportunities, regulatory requirements and other factors. The Stock Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific amount of common stock, has no time limit, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

The following table summarizes the stock repurchase activity under the Company’s Stock Repurchase Programs (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company hastwo equity incentive plans: the nCino, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) and the 2019 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan” and together with the 2014 Plan, the “Incentive Plans”). Under the 2014 Plan, the Board of Directors had allotted 15,025,666 shares of common stock for incentive options or non-qualified options as of January 31, 2026. Non-qualified options may be granted to Company employees, non-employee directors, and consultants. The exercise price of options is determined by the Board of Directors, but cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The options generally vest in one of two ways:

In equal annual installments over four years from the grant date.

Upon a change in control transaction (with respect to certain Incentive Plan participants).

All options expireten years from the grant date and, with respect to certain Incentive Plan participants, provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company.

In July 2019, the Company established the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan for the issuance of awards in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards, and other stock-based awards.

In connection with the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2019 Plan which amended and restated the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. All awards shall be granted withinten years from the effective date of the 2019 Plan and can only be granted to employees, officers, directors, and consultants and generally vest over four years.

Under the 2019 Plan, the number of available shares was increased to 15,250,000, plus an annual increase added on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, and continuing until, and including, the fiscal year ending January 31, 2031. The annual increase will be equal to the lesser of (i)5% of the number of shares issued and outstanding as of January 31 of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) an amount determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company ceased granting awards under the 2014 Plan during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, and all shares that remained available for issuance under the 2014 Plan were transferred to the 2019 Plan prior to the closing of the IPO. Additionally, the number of shares available under the 2019 Plan shall be increased by the number of shares outstanding under the 2014 Plan that expire, terminate or are canceled without having been exercised or settled in full. The 2014 Plan governs outstanding awards granted prior to the adoption of the 2019 Plan.

RSUs vest upon the satisfaction of a time-based condition. RSUs are generally earned over a service period offour years. For RSUs granted to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors, some vest in less than a year, some annually, and some over three years. The compensation expense related to these awards is based on the grant date fair value of the RSUs and is recognized on a ratable basis over the applicable service period.

As of January 31, 2026, the Company had stock options outstanding under the 2014 Plan, and stock options and RSUs outstanding under the 2019 Plan.

Stock Options

Stock option activity for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 was as follows:

Number ofSharesWeightedAverageExercise PriceWeighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In thousands)
Outstanding, January 31, 2025811,602$7.222.27$21,742

Fully vested or expected to vest, January 31, 2026480,641$8.061.56$6,393

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026 was $19.0 million, $10.9 million, and $6.3 million, respectively. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, which is computed based on the difference between the option exercise price and the estimated fair value of the

Company’s common stock at the time such option are exercised. This intrinsic value changes based on changes in the fair value of the Company’s underlying stock.

Restricted Stock Units

RSU activity during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 was as follows:

Number ofSharesWeighted AverageGrant Date FairValue

The weighted average grant date fair value for RSUs granted during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026 was $25.65, $33.65, and $24.81, respectively.

The total fair value of RSUs vested for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026 was $48.2 million, $60.8 million, and $78.6 million, respectively.

As of January 31, 2026, total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested RSUs was $130.1 million, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock at the time of grant. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.71 years.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we announced our Executive Chairman of the Board was transitioning to a non-employee director and Chairman of the Board beginning on February 1, 2026, which resulted in a modification to certain nonvested equity awards. In connection with this transition, the Company recognized incremental stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested RSUs of $4.6 million in fiscal 2026. In addition, an executive departed from their position, and we modified certain nonvested equity awards, resulting in incremental stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested RSUs of $0.4 million. The incremental expense associated with these modifications was recognized in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations in fiscal 2026.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In July 2020, the Board of Directors adopted and stockholders approved the ESPP, which became effective immediately prior to the closing of the IPO. The ESPP includes two components, one component is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and a component that does not qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. The ESPP initially reserved and authorized the issuance of up to a total of 1,800,000 shares of common stock to participating employees. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock under the ESPP will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with the first fiscal year ending January 31, 2022 and continuing until the fiscal year ended January 31, 2031, by an amount equal to the lesser of (i)1% of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding on January 31 of the immediately preceding fiscal year, (ii)1,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock or (iii) an amount determined by the Board of Directors. As of January 31, 2026,6,459,790 shares of common stock remain available for grant under the ESPP.

The ESPP permits employees to purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions during six month offerings. The offering periods begin each January 1 and July 1, or such other period determined by the compensation committee. Eligible employees will purchase the shares at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i)85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the first business day of such offering period and (ii)85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of such offering period, although the compensation committee has discretion to change the purchase price with respect to future offering periods, subject to terms of the ESPP.

The first offering period for the ESPP began on July 1, 2021 and ended on December 31, 2021. Thereafter, offering periods will begin on January 1 and July 1.

The fair value of ESPP shares is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model based on assumptions as follows for ESPP awards:

Expected life. The expected life reflects the period for which the Company believes the ESPP will remain outstanding. The expected term for the ESPP award approximates the offering period of six months.

Expected volatility. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.

Expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has not and does not expect to pay dividends.

Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate reflects the U.S. Treasury yield for a similar expected life instrument in effect at the time of the grant of the ESPP share.

The assumptions utilized for the ESPP shares for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026 were as follows:

Fiscal Year Ended January 31,
202420252026
Expected life (in years)0.500.500.50
Expected volatility38.70% - 61.86%38.70% - 40.74%39.41% - 46.91%
Expected dividends0.00%0.00%0.00%
Risk-free interest rate4.77% - 5.53%4.25% - 5.37%3.58% - 4.29%

As of January 31, 2026, total unrecognized compensation expense related to the ESPP was $0.6 million. That cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining term of the offering period that began on January 1, 2026 and will end on June 30, 2026.

Total deferred tax liabilities(65,374)(68,699)
Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)$(7,650)$5,402

The Company’s net deferred tax asset (liabilities) were adjusted during fiscal 2026 to include $7.3 million of net deferred tax liabilities related to business combinations.

Net deferred tax asset (liabilities) were included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

As of January 31,
20252026
Long-term prepaid expenses and other assets$6,201$12,422
Deferred income taxes, noncurrent(13,851)(7,020)
Net deferred tax asset (liabilities)$(7,650)$5,402

The Company continually assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets based on an evaluative process that considers all available positive and negative evidence. The Company has established a valuation allowance in the amount of $160.3 million and $151.7 million as of January 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively, because the Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in jurisdictions excluding several foreign jurisdictions will not be realized.

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 United Kingdom 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.

For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026, the valuation allowance increased (decreased) by $9.9 million, $12.0 million, and $(8.6) million, respectively.

The Company maintains its assertion of the Company’s intent for certain foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested. As of January 31, 2026, the Company has not recorded taxes on approximately $37.4 million of cumulative undistributed earnings of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company generally does not provide for taxes related to the Company’s undistributed earnings because such earnings either would not be taxable when remitted or they are indefinitely reinvested. If in the foreseeable future, the Company can no longer demonstrate that these earnings are indefinitely reinvested, a tax liability will be recognized, which could include other taxes such as withholding tax. The determination of the amount of the unrecognized tax liability is directly influenced by the Company’s net operating income (loss) and valuation allowance position in the U.S. If the Company were to repatriate the undistributed earnings, the tax liability is $0.9 million.

The net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards as of January 31, 2026 were as follows:

As of January 31, 2026First Fiscal Year Expiring
Federal net operating loss carryforwards(1)394,556None

Foreign net operating loss carryforwards(1)115,776None
Federal tax credit carryforwards(1)17,6502037
State tax credit carryforwards6,8152032

(1)The Company acquired a portion of these carryforwards through mergers and acquisitions. These acquired carryforwards will be subject to limitations which could limit the Company’s utilization in future periods.

In 2021, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development introduced its Pillar Two Framework Model Rules (“Pillar 2”). The Company is under the revenue threshold where Pillar 2 would not apply and is not subject to tax under these rules. The Company will continue to monitor and reflect the impact of such legislative changes in future financial statements as appropriate.

On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was signed into law. This legislation includes several changes to federal tax law that generally allow for more favorable deductibility of certain business expenses beginning in the Company’s fiscal 2026, including the restoration of immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, more favorable rules for determining limitations on deductions for interest expense, and reinstatement of accelerated fixed asset depreciation. These changes were reflected in the income tax provision during the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2026 and did not result in material changes to the Company’s tax position.

A reconciliation of the gross beginning and ending balance of total unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Fiscal Year Ended January 31,
202420252026
Balance, beginning of period$—$—$6,692
Additions for current year tax positions—1,094951
Additions for prior year tax positions—4,357815
Additions for current year acquisitions—1,24110
Balance, end of period$—$6,692$8,468

As of January 31, 2026, gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions were $8.5 million. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate would be $2.0 million for the year ended January 31, 2026.

The Company’s policy for classifying interest and penalties with unrecognized tax benefits is to include such items in income tax expense. The total amount of interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is $1.8 million for the year ended January 31, 2026.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. federal and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As of January 31, 2026, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examinations by tax authorities for tax years prior to 2022. However, amounts reported as net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards from these tax periods remain subject to review by most tax authorities.

Note 12. Revolving Credit Facility

2022 Credit Agreement

On February 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, nCino OpCo (the “Borrower”), certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, and Bank of America, N.A. as lender (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender provided to the Borrower a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $50.0 million (the “2022 Credit Facility”) which was increased to $100.0 million on March 17, 2024.

Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility accrued interest, at the Borrower’s option, at: (i) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Lender’s “prime rate,” (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the Term SOFR rate plus 1.00% (provided that the base rate shall not be less than 0.00%), plus a margin of 1.3125%; or (ii) the Term SOFR rate (provided that the Term SOFR shall not be less than 0.00%), plus a margin of 2.3125%, in each case with such margin subject to a step-down based on achievement of a certain leverage ratio. The Company was also required to pay an unused commitment fee to the Lender of 0.30% of the average daily unutilized commitments (with a step-down based on achievement of a certain leverage ratio). The Company was also required to pay customary letter of credit fees.

On October 28, 2024, the Company terminated the 2022 Credit Agreement and entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “2024 Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, nCino OpCo, Inc. (the “Borrower”), certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Agent”).

2024 Credit Agreement

The 2024 Credit Agreement includes a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $250.0 million (the “2024 Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of October 28, 2029. The 2024 Credit Facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit subject to a sublimit of $45.0 million. Any issuances of letters of credit will reduce the amount available under the 2024 Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facility bear interest, at the Borrower’s option, at: (i) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Agent’s “prime rate,” (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the Term SOFR rate plus 1.00% (provided that the base rate shall not be less than 0.00%), plus a margin of 1.00%; or (ii) the Term SOFR rate (provided that the Term SOFR shall not be less than 0.00%), plus a margin of 2.00%, in each case with such margin subject to step-ups based on certain leverage ratios. The Company is also required to pay an unused commitment fee to the Lenders of 0.25% of the average daily unutilized commitments (with step-ups based on certain leverage ratios). The Company must also pay customary letter of credit fees.

The Company may repay amounts borrowed at any time without penalty. Borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facility may be reborrowed.

The 2024 Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, affirmative, negative, and financial covenants, and events of default that are customary for loans of this type. The financial covenants require the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to maintain (i) a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio not in excess of 4.00:1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter, and (ii) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio not less than 3.00:1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter, in each case, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025.

The 2024 Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and each of its current and future material domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) and secured by substantially all of the personal property, subject to customary exceptions, of the Borrower and the Guarantors, in each case, now owned or later acquired, including a pledge of all of the Borrower’s capital stock, the capital stock of all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, and 65% of the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries that are directly owned by the Borrower or a Guarantor.

Debt Issuance Costs

As of January 31, 2025 and 2026, unamortized debt issuance costs were $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and are included in long-term prepaid expenses and other assets.

Credit Outstanding and Available Borrowing Capacity

The Company had $166.0 million and $213.5 million outstanding as of January 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. The Company had no letters of credit issued under the 2024 Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants as of January 31, 2025 and 2026. As of January 31, 2026, the applicable interest rate was 5.68%. The available borrowing capacity under the 2024 Credit Facility was $36.5 million as of January 31, 2026.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

In addition to the operating lease commitments described in Note 11 “Leases,” the Company has additional contractual commitments as described further below.

Purchase Commitments

The Company’s purchase commitments consist of non-cancelable agreements to purchase goods and services, primarily licenses and hosting services, entered into in the ordinary course of business.

Financing Obligations

The Company’s financing obligations consist of leases for the Company’s headquarters and parking deck in which the Company is deemed the owner of for accounting purposes. The assets and corresponding financing obligation are included in property and equipment, net and financing obligations on the consolidated balance sheets. During fiscal 2026, the terms of the leases were amended to expire in October 2039 with options to extend and the purchase option was extended and will expire if not exercised on or before November 30, 2028.

The leases will be analyzed for applicable lease accounting upon expiration of the purchase option, if not exercised.

Purchase commitments and future minimum lease payments required under financing obligations as of January 31, 2026 were as follows:

Purchase commitments · Financing obligations - leased facility
Fiscal 2027$86,486$4,257
Fiscal 202878,1614,363
Fiscal 20291,1384,136
Fiscal 2030——
Fiscal 2031——
Thereafter——
Total$165,785$12,756
Residual financing obligations and assets48,053
Less: amount representing interest(9,591)
Financing obligations$51,218

A portion of the associated lease payments are recognized as interest expense and the remainder reduces the financing obligations. The weighted-average discount rate for the Company’s financing obligations as of January 31, 2026 was 6.8%.

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company generally includes standard indemnification provisions in its arrangements with third parties, including vendors, customers, and the Company’s directors and officers. Pursuant to these provisions, the Company may be obligated to indemnify such parties for losses or claims suffered or incurred. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to the Company’s limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. The Company has not accrued any material liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings or is subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, however, there are no proceedings or claims pending against the Company that we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may be subject to audits related to its non-income taxes by tax authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or potentially through the courts. The Company accrues for any assessments if deemed probable and estimable.

Note 14. Related-Party Transactions

On November 1, 2022, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, nCino OpCo, acquired preferred shares of ZestFinance, Inc. (d/b/a ZEST AI) (“Zest AI”), a private company, which is included in investments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for $2.5 million and $0.0 million as of January 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. The investment was considered a related party transaction as entities affiliated with Insight Partners, a beneficial owner of the Company as of November 1, 2022, owned greater thanten percent of Zest AI.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we sold all of our shares in Zest AI and recorded a realized gain of $1.2 million. At the time of this transaction, Zest AI was no longer considered a related party.

Note 15. Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to nCino, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the fiscal period, net of treasury stock. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive common stock, including stock options issued and outstanding, nonvested RSUs issued and outstanding, and shares issuable pursuant to the ESPP. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. There is no difference between the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share when there is a net loss because inclusion of potentially issuable shares would be anti-dilutive.

The components of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for periods presented are as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Note 18. Subsequent 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 are providing 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, as described in Note 12 “Revolving Credit Facility”. The proceeds will be 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 Form 8-K filed on March 31, 2026 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 will represent approximately 80% of the total shares to be repurchased, based on the closing price of nCino's common stock on March 31, 2026. 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 Form 8-K filed on March 31, 2026 for additional information.
