FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Q2 Holdings, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results;
Appoints Jonathan Price as co-CEO
AUSTIN, Texas (October 28, 2026)—Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: QTWO), a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for financial services, today announced results for its third quarter ending September 30, 2026.
GAAP Results for the Third Quarter 2026
•Revenues of $225.8 million, up by 12 percent compared to the prior-year quarter and 3 percent from second quarter 2026.
•GAAP gross margin of 59.7 percent, up from 54.0 percent in the prior-year quarter and 59.2 percent in second quarter 2026.
•GAAP net income of $33.2 million, up from $15.0 million for the prior-year quarter and $29.9 million for second quarter 2026.
Non-GAAP Results for the Third Quarter 2026
•Non-GAAP gross margin of 62.6 percent, up from 57.9 percent for the prior-year quarter and 62.3 percent in second quarter 2026.
•Adjusted EBITDA of $67.8 million, up from $48.8 million for the prior-year quarter and $62.8 million for second quarter 2026.
For a reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP results, please see the tables below.
“We delivered another strong quarter, with solid bookings led by digital banking and continued momentum across the business,” said Matt Flake, Chairman, President and CEO, Q2. "Credit unions were a key contributor again this quarter, including multiple Tier 1 wins and some of our largest contracted deals in the period. Our AI progress was highlighted by our third annual Dev Days, and early demand for our new AI-driven fraud solution was particularly strong, with early-adopter sign-ups roughly twice what we initially expected. We feel good about our momentum as we move these offerings toward general availability, and with a healthy pipeline heading into year-end, we believe Q2 is well positioned to be the platform our customers build on as they put AI to work.”
“Our third quarter results exceeded the high end of our guidance on both revenue and adjusted EBITDA, with record gross margin and a record adjusted EBITDA margin of 30 percent reflecting the continued scalability of our model,” said Jonathan Price, CFO, Q2. “We also generated $55.0 million of free cash flow and repurchased $38.8 million of our shares while remaining debt-free, a combination of durable growth, expanding margins, and a strong balance sheet that we believe gives us real flexibility. This performance, coupled with our outlook for the rest of the year, gives us the confidence to raise our full-year guidance on both revenue and adjusted EBITDA for 2026.”
Co-CEO Appointment
Concurrent with this release, Q2 announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Jonathan Price as Co-Chief Executive Officer, effective October 29, 2026. Mr. Price will serve as Co-CEO alongside Matt Flake, who continues as President and Chairman of the Board, and will also join Q2’s Board of Directors as part of his appointment. Mr. Price will continue to serve as Q2’s Chief Financial Officer while the Company conducts a search for his successor. Additional information is available in a separate press release issued today, which can be found on the investor relations section of Q2’s website at http://investors.Q2.com.
Third Quarter Highlights
•Signed seven Enterprise and Tier 1 contracts in the quarter highlighted by:
◦A net new agreement with a Tier 1 credit union for our commercial digital banking solutions.
◦A net new agreement with a Tier 1 bank for our commercial digital banking solutions following the bank’s merger with another institution.
◦An expansion agreement with an Enterprise bank to add multiple risk and fraud solutions, including our AI-driven User Activity Monitoring solution.
•Subscription Annualized Recurring Revenue increased to $846.0 million, up 13.5 percent year-over-year.
•Remaining Performance Obligations total, or Backlog, increased by $5 million sequentially and $248 million year-over-year, resulting in a total committed Backlog of approximately $2.8 billion at quarter-end, representing 10 percent year-over-year growth.
Dev Days 2026: Q2 Shows How AI Is Moving into the Daily Work of Banking
•Third annual event: Q2 recently hosted its third annual Dev Days, bringing together hundreds of customers, partners and developers who build on the Q2 platform.
•From concept to working software: Q2 previewed an expanded Q2 Code that goes beyond code generation into planning, testing and deployment, and is built on Q2’s platform knowledge and best practices so small teams can spend more time on the experiences that differentiate their institutions.
•From answers to completed work: New Q2 Assistant capabilities were previewed that are being designed to help financial institution employees complete multi-step customer service and back-office tasks, not just retrieve information.
•Fraud protection gaining traction: Q2’s early adopter program for User Activity Monitoring signed nearly 20 financial institutions, roughly twice what the Company originally expected.
•Path to general availability: Q2 remains on track to bring these offerings to general availability in the coming months.
•Q2 believes AI innovation in financial services will flow through its platform, where the data, workflows and customer trust already sit, not around it.
Share Repurchase Program
In the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, Q2 repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock at an average price of approximately $61.27 per share, for total consideration of $38.8 million. Year-to-date, Q2 has repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares for total consideration of $158.9 million. As of September 30, 2026, Q2 had approximately $336.1 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization. Q2 may purchase shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including accelerated share repurchase transactions, block trades, or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.
Financial Outlook
As of October 28, 2026, Q2 Holdings is providing guidance for its fourth quarter of 2026 and updated guidance for its full year 2026, which represents Q2 Holdings’ current estimates on Q2 Holdings’ operations and financial results. The financial information below includes adjusted EBITDA, which represents forward-looking, non-GAAP financial information. GAAP net income is the most comparable GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA differs from GAAP net income in that it excludes items such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, transaction-related costs, interest and other (income) expense, income taxes, lease and other restructuring charges, and non-recurring legal settlements not in our ordinary course of business. Q2 Holdings is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of these exclusions without unreasonable effort. Therefore, Q2 Holdings has not provided guidance for GAAP net income or a reconciliation of the foregoing forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income. However, it is important to note that these excluded items could be material to Q2's results computed in accordance with GAAP in future periods.
Q2 Holdings is providing guidance for the fourth quarter of 2026 as follows:
•Total revenue of $226.0 million to $230.0 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of 9 to 10 percent.
•Adjusted EBITDA of $62.4 million to $65.4 million, representing 28 percent of revenue for the quarter.
Q2 Holdings is providing updated guidance for the full-year 2026 as follows:
•Total revenue of $888.0 million to $892.0 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of 12 percent.
•Adjusted EBITDA of $253.0 million to $256.0 million, representing 28 to 29 percent to of revenue for the year.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Q2 uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA; adjusted EBITDA margin; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP sales and marketing expense; non-GAAP research and development expense; non-GAAP general and administrative expense; non-GAAP operating expense; non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP net income per common share, diluted; and free cash flow. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures of operating performance because they exclude items that Q2 does not consider indicative of its core performance.
In the case of adjusted EBITDA, Q2 adjusts net income for such items as interest and other (income) expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, transaction-related costs, lease and other restructuring charges, and non-recurring legal settlements not in our ordinary course of business. In the case of adjusted EBITDA margin, Q2 calculates adjusted EBITDA margin by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue. In the case of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP gross profit, Q2 adjusts gross profit and gross margin for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired technology, transaction-related costs and lease and other restructuring charges. In the case of non-GAAP sales and marketing expense and non-GAAP research and development expense, Q2 adjusts the corresponding GAAP expense to exclude stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP general and administrative expense excludes stock-based compensation and non-recurring legal settlements not in our ordinary course of business. Non-GAAP operating expense is calculated by taking the sum of non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP research and development expense and non-GAAP general and administrative expense. In the case of non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income, Q2 adjusts operating income, for stock-based compensation, transaction-related costs, amortization of acquired technology, amortization of acquired intangibles, lease and other restructuring charges and non-recurring legal settlements not in our ordinary course of business, and with respect to non-GAAP net income, Q2 additionally adjusts for amortization of debt issuance costs and the related tax effects of the adjustments above. The tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments is calculated based on the tax laws and statutory income tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdiction(s) of the underlying non-GAAP adjustment and
considers the current and deferred tax impact of those adjustments. The Company is in a cumulative income position on a non-GAAP basis and has not recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the non-GAAP tax provision. As a result, the non-GAAP tax expense may differ significantly from the GAAP tax expense. In the case of non-GAAP net income per common share, diluted, Q2 divides non-GAAP net income by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. In the case of free cash flow, Q2 adjusts net cash provided by operating activities for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs. A reconciliation of prior quarter non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures may be found in Exhibit 99.1 of Q2's Form 8-K filed on July 29, 2026.
There are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Certain items that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on operating and net income. As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, the closest GAAP measures, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation to the closest GAAP measures of these non-GAAP measures is contained in tabular form on the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Q2’s management uses these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating performance; to prepare Q2’s annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of Q2’s business; to evaluate the effectiveness of Q2’s business strategies; to provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of Q2’s results with those of other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results; and in communication with our board of directors concerning Q2’s financial performance.
