Gloo Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
BOULDER, Colo.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Gloo Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: GLOO), a leading technology platform for the faith and flourishing ecosystem, today announced financial results for the quarter ended April 30, 2026. The company also gave second quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance and raised fiscal year 2026 revenue guidance to $195.0 million.
“AI remains a force multiplier behind our platform, and our focus on applied AI uniquely positions us to deliver greater impact for the faith and flourishing sector,” said Scott Beck, CEO of Gloo. “Our quarterly results show the strategy is working. We delivered another strong quarter that exceeded our guidance and analyst consensus, underscoring our disciplined execution and the trust our customers are placing in us. We continue to add strategic customers across new and existing verticals while deepening relationships with those we already serve.”
First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
“Results for the first quarter demonstrate consistent progress against the targets we have set for ourselves. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA both came in above our guidance range and ahead of analyst consensus, which speaks to the operating leverage we are continuing to build into the business,” said Paul Seamon, CFO of Gloo. “We are also encouraged by the quality of our customer momentum, including larger, more strategic deals that validate our go-to-market approach. We remain focused on the path to Adjusted EBITDA profitability and believe the financial trajectory we are building supports that goal.”
Business Highlights
Customer Momentum
Gloo continues to close larger, strategic deals, including five new customers in the first quarter of 2026, each contributing over $1 million in annual contract value. These large strategic deals demonstrate growing momentum with universities, rescue missions and Bible translation organizations, as well as increased traction in the Catholic sector.
Advancing Leadership in Applied AI
By bringing the latest innovations in agentic AI, foundational models and services to customers, Gloo helps them drive better outcomes at lower cost, while creating what the company believes are highly durable revenue streams with strong margins.
Strategic Acquisitions
Gloo’s acquisition strategy is driving meaningful results for the business, with recent acquisitions of Westfall Group and Masterworks contributing to one of Gloo’s best quarters ever. The positive momentum validates not only the value the Gloo portfolio delivers to customers, but the power of the flywheel the company is creating.
Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook
Gloo expects second quarter revenue to be $44.0 million, which represents a 172% increase compared to the prior year period. For fiscal year 2026, Gloo is raising revenue guidance to $195.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be negative $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, representing continued sequential improvement. The company continues to expect to approach Adjusted EBITDA breakeven in third quarter 2026, and remains confident in achieving Adjusted EBITDA profitability in fourth quarter 2026.
Gloo has not provided a reconciliation of its forward outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Gloo is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount and timing of adjustments that are used to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure, particularly related to interest expense and changes in fair value of certain financial instruments, as well as equity-based compensation and employee stock transactions and related tax effects.
Conference Call Information
Gloo will conduct a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss its first quarter 2026 financial results and current financial prospects today at 5 p.m. ET. Participants may access the conference call via webcast using the Gloo Webcast link. The webcast will be recorded and available for replay. The link and recording will also be available on the Investor Relations section of the Gloo website at investors.gloo.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), Gloo has provided in this press release and the accompanying tables the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders and members of Gloo Holdings, Inc. and Gloo Holdings, LLC, respectively, and non-GAAP net loss per unit attributable to common stockholders of Gloo Holdings, Inc. (Class A and Class B) and members of Gloo Holdings, LLC, basic and diluted.
Gloo uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its core operating performance, support planning and forecasting, and assess strategic opportunities. In addition, Gloo may use Adjusted EBITDA in its incentive compensation programs applicable to some of its employees. Accordingly, Gloo believes that Adjusted EBITDA may provide useful information to investors about its business and financial performance, enhance its overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to this measure used by Gloo management in their financial and operational decision making.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted to exclude (1) interest expense, (2) income tax expense (benefit), (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) equity-based compensation, (5) impairment of goodwill, (6) loss (gain) from change in fair value of financial instruments, (7) restructuring costs, (8) transaction related bonuses, (9) loss on extinguishment of debt, (10) income (loss) from equity method investments, net, (11) interest income, (12) IPO related costs, and (13) one-time employee tax credit, that are not reflective of Gloo's core operating results.
Gloo also presents non-GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders and members of Gloo Holdings, Inc. and Gloo Holdings, LLC, respectively, and non-GAAP net loss per unit attributable to common stockholders of Gloo Holdings, Inc. (Class A and Class B) and members of Gloo Holdings, LLC, because it believes that these measures may similarly provide useful information to investors about its business and financial performance, enhance its overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to this measure used by Gloo management in their financial and operational decision making. Management also believes that these measures are commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of the Company's performance.
Non-GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders and members of Gloo Holdings, Inc. and Gloo Holdings, LLC, respectively, and non-GAAP net loss per unit attributable to common stockholders of Gloo Holdings, Inc. (Class A and Class B) and members of Gloo Holdings, LLC, are defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders of Gloo Holdings, Inc. (Class A and Class B) and members of Gloo Holdings, LLC and net loss per unit available to members of Gloo Holdings, LLC respectively, adjusted to exclude the impact of (1) loss (gain) from change in fair value of financial instruments, (2) loss on extinguishment of debt, (3) other non-routine items, such as IPO related costs, and (4) the income tax expense (benefit) impact of other adjustments, if any. Non-GAAP net loss per unit available to members of Gloo Holdings, LLC, basic and diluted, includes adjustments made to (U.S. GAAP) net loss attributable to stockholders and members of Gloo Holdings, Inc. and Gloo Holdings, LLC, respectively. The Company has made these non-GAAP adjustments because it believes that these charges are not reflective of its core operating results.
The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and they should not be considered as alternatives to or substitutes for measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-routine items. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing the Company’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP. The Company’s definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Investors are encouraged to review the most directly comparable GAAP measure and the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part II, Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026, and in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2026, which Gloo expects to file with the SEC following the date of this press release.
