DOMO, INC. (DOMO)·Q2 2026 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 FY26 delivered revenue of $79.72M and first-ever positive non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.02, beating Wall Street consensus on both revenue and EPS; however, EBITDA missed materially versus consensus due to non-operating items . EPS est: -$0.052*, Revenue est: $78.07M*, EBITDA est: $4.70M*; Actuals: EPS $0.02, Revenue $79.72M, EBITDA -$6.55M* .
- Non-GAAP operating margin reached a record 7.7% per the call (press rounded to 8%), with subscription gross margin improving to 81.9% sequentially; adjusted free cash flow turned positive at $1.38M .
- Guidance raised: FY26 revenue to $316–$320M (from $312–$320M) and FY26 non-GAAP net loss per share to $0.11–$0.19 (from $0.18–$0.26). Q3 revenue guided to $78.5–$79.5M, non-GAAP EPS -$0.03 to -$0.07; introduced billings guidance (Q3: $75.5–$76.5M; FY: $317–$321M) .
- Strategic catalysts: accelerating ACV, 108% NRR for consumption-cohort customers, deepening CDW/hyperscaler partnerships (Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, BigQuery), and strong Japan momentum (NRR ~130% on renewals; ACV nearly doubled) .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- First positive non-GAAP diluted EPS ($0.02) and record non-GAAP operating margin (~7.7% vs press 8%), reflecting disciplined cost management and stronger revenue performance .
- Subscription RPO hit a record $409.8M (+19% YoY); consumption-based ARR surpassed 75% with strong cohort economics (108% NRR for customers starting on consumption) .
- Partner ecosystem traction: expanded Snowflake marketplace collaboration, enhanced BigQuery integration, and AWS strategic collaboration for agentic AI; management emphasized “electric” CDW events driving thousands of leads and higher close rates .
- “We achieved record operating margin and delivered our first ever positive non-GAAP EPS… reported 108% NRR… clear proof our model is driving results.” — Josh James
- “Operating margin in the quarter was 7.7%, the highest in company history.” — CFO Tod Crane
What Went Wrong
- GAAP net loss remained high at $22.93M with GAAP net loss per share of $0.56; other expense surged due to a $10.44M warrant liability remeasurement, pressuring GAAP profitability and S&P-calculated EBITDA* .
- Gross retention was 85% (flat for five quarters) and not yet at target; management expects meaningful improvement starting in Q4 as multi-year consumption contracts renew .
- Deferred revenue declined sequentially in Q2 (current from $162.94M at Q1-end to $153.97M at Q2-end), limiting billings uplift despite new ACV momentum; net cash from operations eased to $3.37M vs $3.95M in Q1 .

Management Commentary
- “Our accelerating ACV, strong subscription RPO, and expanding partnerships are powering Domo’s growth engine… first ever positive non-GAAP EPS… 108% NRR for customers who started with Domo on a consumption contract.” — Josh James
- “Operating margin in the quarter was 7.7%, the highest in company history… adjusted free cash flow in Q2 was $1.4M… subscription gross margin rose to 81.9%.” — Tod Crane
- “BI as a simple dashboard concept is dead… we built a complete integrated modern AI and analytics stack from day one,” positioning Domo with CDW partners to capture AI infrastructure spend .
- On partnerships: “Expanded collaboration with Snowflake for a fully managed AI-powered analytics solution… several Palantir takeouts” ; AWS SCA to accelerate GenAI agent adoption .
- On Japan: “New ACV there nearly doubled… NRR on renewals close to 130%” .
Q&A Highlights
- CDW/hyperscaler pipeline conversion: CDW-led leads are moving to later stages and closing at materially higher rates; expected to impact numbers starting in Q3 .
- Consumption model mechanics: Consumption cohorts expand easier (marketplace procurement, fewer seat constraints), driving higher NRR and expected improvement in gross retention from Q4 onward .
- International: Japan is outsized for Domo with broad vertical success, longer decision cycles but high retention; heavy services upfront ensure strong implementations .
- Competitive dynamics and use cases: Replacing seat-based BI (e.g., Power BI) with Domo’s consumption and platform breadth (ETL, integration, AI agents) enabling “wall-to-wall” deployments .
- Financial trajectory: Raised FY exit metrics to 6% billings growth and 6% non-GAAP operating margin; margin may dip short term due to incremental partner investments in Q3 .
Estimates Context
Notes: Actual EBITDA from S&P Global shows a negative figure, likely reflecting non-operating items (e.g., $10.44M warrant liability remeasurement in other expense), despite positive non-GAAP operating income . Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
Forward look vs estimates:
- Q3 FY26 revenue consensus $79.03M* vs guidance $78.5–$79.5 — guidance brackets consensus.
- FY26 revenue consensus $318.08M* vs guidance $316–$320 — guidance aligned.
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Domo’s pivot to a consumption-led, partner-centric model is manifesting in record non-GAAP operating margin, first positive non-GAAP EPS, and rising subscription gross margin; near-term margin may be modestly lower due to partner investments, but the medium-term trajectory is improving .
- RPO strength and >75% ARR on consumption, with 108% cohort NRR, underpin visibility; expect gross retention to inflect in Q4 as multi-year consumption contracts renew, supporting FY26 growth setup .
- AI catalyst: AWS SCA and deeper Snowflake/BigQuery integrations position Domo in budgets where AI infrastructure spend is growing faster than broader IT, with solution-led co-selling improving conversion rates .
- Watch Japan and enterprise channels for incremental upside: Japan’s ACV/NRR momentum, and marketplace procurement routes (AWS/GCP/CDWs) shorten cycles and expand use cases across business units .
- Estimate revisions: Expect upward revisions to EPS and revenue for Q2 actuals; however, some models using EBITDA may need adjustments to reflect non-operating items and warrant remeasurement volatility .
- Trading lens: The combination of beats on revenue/EPS, raised FY guide, and partner ecosystem updates are positive catalysts; monitor Q3 margin commentary and CDW/hyperscaler pipeline conversion in the next print .
- Risk checks: Deferred revenue decline and persistent GAAP net losses (warrant volatility) are watch items; execution on retention improvements and consumption renewals remains key .
