07/22/2026 | Press release | Distributed by Public on 07/22/2026 14:40
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI control tower for business reinvention, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026, with subscription revenues of $3,877 million in Q2 2026, representing 24.5% year-over-year growth and 23% in constant currency.
"ServiceNow's exceptional Q2 results solidify our position as the fastest-growing major enterprise software and cybersecurity company," said ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott. "The company's sterling fundamentals have us operating to the Rule of 56, well on our way to the Rule of 60. With our AI Control Tower as the market standard, agentic deployments of ServiceNow AI increased ninefold in just nine months. Our $29 billion in remaining performance obligations is fueled by longer customer commitments and skyrocketing demand from our partner ecosystem. We are who we said we were: a defining company that is only just getting started."
As of June 30, 2026, current remaining performance obligations ("cRPO"), contract revenue that will be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, was $13.20 billion, representing 21% year-over-year growth and 21.5% in constant currency. The company had 123 transactions over $1 million in net new annual contract value ("ACV") in Q2 2026, growing nearly 40% year-over-year, and ended the quarter with 658 customers with more than $5 million in ACV, representing approximately 23% year-over-year growth.
"Q2 was an outstanding quarter that highlights ServiceNow's broad based demand, strong execution, and operating leverage," said ServiceNow President and CFO Gina Mastantuono. "Once again, we beat the high end of our guidance range across every topline and profitability metric. AI net new ACV growth continues to outpace expectations, our AI Control Tower is supercharging our Security and Risk business, and ITOM is seeing strong demand tailwinds for the CMDB to serve as an essential governance and data foundation. In an environment where most enterprises are still searching for AI's ROI, ServiceNow is the platform delivering it."

Financial Outlook
Our guidance includes GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP growth rates for subscription revenues are adjusted for constant currency by excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts, and the non-GAAP growth rates for cRPO are adjusted only for constant currency to provide better visibility into the underlying business.
Since March 31, 2026, ServiceNow has seen an incremental strengthening of the U.S. dollar resulting in foreign exchange ("FX") headwinds. The total FX impact is estimated to be an approximately $35 million year-over-year headwind for Q3 2026 cRPO.
Q2 2026 subscription revenues exceeded the high end of our guidance range by 150 basis points, driven by a combination of net new ACV outperformance and on-premise revenue mix coming in ahead of expectations. This higher mix is primarily attributable to strong U.S. Federal demand, which accelerated some on-premise subscription revenues from Q3 2026 into Q2 2026. We are raising our FY 2026 subscription revenues guidance to reflect the net new ACV strength.
Our FY 2026 gross margin guidance reflects more customers utilizing our hyperscaler partnerships and an acceleration of customer AI adoption.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use the following non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please see the tables included at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results for gross profit, income from operations, net income, net income per share, and free cash flow. Our Rule of 56 guidance for 2026 and Rule of 60+ long-term target reflect a combination of subscription revenue growth rate on a constant currency basis and free cash flow margin. Subscription revenues adjusted for constant currency exclude the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts. We have not provided a reconciliation of our forward-looking free cash flow margin growth to the most comparable GAAP financial measure because we are unable to predict, without unreasonable efforts, the timing and amount of certain adjustments, which may be significant.
Use of Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains "forward-looking statements" regarding our performance, including but not limited to statements in the section entitled "Financial Outlook" and statements regarding the expected benefits of our announced partnerships and acquisitions. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. If any such risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, our results could differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements we make.
Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements include, among others, experiencing an actual or perceived cyber-security event or weakness; our ability to comply with evolving privacy laws, data transfer restrictions, and other foreign and domestic standards related to data and the Internet; errors, interruptions, delays or security breaches in or of our service or data centers; our ability to maintain and attract key employees and manage workplace culture; alleged violations of laws and regulations, including those relating to anti-bribery and anti-corruption and those relating to public sector contracting requirements; our ability to compete successfully against existing and new competitors; our ability to predict, prepare for and respond promptly to rapidly evolving technological, market and customer developments; our ability to grow our business, including converting remaining performance obligations into revenue, adding and retaining customers, selling additional subscriptions to existing customers, selling to larger enterprises, government and regulated organizations with complex sales cycles and certification processes, and entering new geographies and markets; our ability to develop and gain customer demand for and acceptance of existing, new and improved products and services, including products that incorporate AI technology; our ability to expand and maintain our partnerships and partner programs, including expected market opportunity from such relationships, and realize the anticipated benefits thereof; global macroeconomic and political conditions including tariffs, inflation and armed conflicts; fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar; fluctuations in interest rates; our ability to consummate and realize the benefits of any strategic transactions or acquisitions; our ability to execute share repurchases, including the timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchase; and fluctuations and volatility in our stock price.
Further information on these and other factors that could affect our financial results are included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

We use a non-GAAP effective tax rate for evaluating our operating results to provide consistency across reporting periods. Based on our long-term projections, we are using a non-GAAP tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 20% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. This non-GAAP tax rate could change for various reasons including significant changes in our geographic earnings mix or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions in which we operate. |
|
(2) |
Prior period results have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the five-for-one stock split, which was effective December 17, 2025. |
|
(3) |
Prior period results have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the exclusion of gains and losses on strategic investments. |
|
(4) |
GAAP net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was impacted by a $51 million release of valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets as a discrete tax benefit. |
| Note: Numbers are rounded for presentation purposes and may not foot. | |
