NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sprinklr (NYSE: CXM), the unified customer experience management (Unified-CXM) platform for modern enterprises, today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025.
'Our Q1 results reflect solid progress in our transformation to better serve our customers and partners. We are deeply focused on improving our execution and delivering business value to the brands we serve with our AI-native CXM platform. We also generated record free cash flow in the quarter,' said Rory Read, Sprinklr President and CEO. Read continued, 'While we recognize FY 26 is a transitional year with important work still ahead to set up FY 27 and beyond, we believe we are well positioned to execute against our strategy and to make every customer experience extraordinary.'
First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights
Revenue: Total revenue for the first quarter was $205.5 million, up from $196.0 million one year ago, an increase of 5% year-over-year. Subscription revenue for the first quarter was $184.1 million, up from $177.4 million one year ago, an increase of 4% year-over-year.
Operating (Loss) Income and Margin*: First quarter GAAP operating loss was $1.8 million, compared to operating income of $5.7 million one year ago. Non-GAAP operating income was $36.7 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $20.9 million one year ago. For the first quarter, GAAP operating margin was (1)% and non-GAAP operating margin was 18% compared to GAAP operating margin of 3% and non-GAAP operating margin of 11% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share*: First quarter GAAP net loss per share, diluted was $(0.01), compared to net income per share, diluted of $0.04 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Non-GAAP net income per share, diluted for the first quarter was $0.12, compared to non-GAAP net income per share, diluted of $0.09 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities: Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of April 30, 2025 were $570.2 million.
* Free cash flow, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net income per share are non-GAAP financial measures defined under 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures,' and are reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities, operating (loss) income, net (loss) income or net (loss) income per share, as applicable, the closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.
Financial Outlook
Sprinklr is providing the following guidance for the second fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2025:
Subscription revenue between $184 million and $185 million.
Total revenue between $205 million and $206 million.
Non-GAAP operating income between $33.5 million and $34.5 million.
Non-GAAP net income per share of approximately $0.10 assuming 270 million diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.
Sprinklr is providing the following guidance for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2026:
Subscription revenue between $741 million and $743 million.
Total revenue between $825 million and $827 million.
Non-GAAP operating income between $129 million and $131 million.
Non-GAAP net income per share between $0.39 and $0.40, assuming 277 million diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that the following non-GAAP financial measures associated with our condensed consolidated statements of operations are useful in evaluating our operating performance:
Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin;
Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin; and
Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share.
We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective U.S. GAAP measures, excluding, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, amortization of stock-based compensation expense associated with capitalized internal use software, amortization of acquired intangible assets, release of U.S. federal and state valuation allowances, and the estimated tax effect related to the non-GAAP items, as well as other one-time charges, such as restructuring charges, costs associated with acquisitions, non-recurring litigation costs and facility exit costs. We believe that it is useful to exclude these items in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies over multiple periods.
In addition, we believe that free cash flow is also a useful non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity as it measures our ability to generate cash, or our need to access additional sources of cash, to fund operations and investments. We expect our free cash flow to fluctuate in future periods with changes in our operating expenses and as we continue to invest in our growth. We typically experience higher billings in the fourth quarter compared to other quarters and experience higher collections of accounts receivable in the first half of the year, which results in a decrease in accounts receivable in the first half of the year.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As a result, our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Sprinklr has not reconciled its financial outlook expectations as to non-GAAP operating income, or as to non-GAAP net income per share, to their respective most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures as a result of the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, in particular, the measures and effects of stock-based compensation expense specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future U.S. GAAP financial results. Accordingly, reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to Sprinklr's results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

This energy stock is trading near its lowest valuation on record. How to trade it using options

Energy companies have always held a special place for me because one of the first products I traded when I first entered the business in the mid-1990s was options on the Philadelphia Oil Services Index and its associated constituents. Some of the names in the index have changed since then, but Schlumberger remains the largest. A leading oilfield services company, Schlumberger faces a complex landscape in 2025. Ultimately, its economic fortunes rise and fall with the tide of oil prices. Lately, that tide has been going out. Despite tariff uncertainties, the International Energy Agency sees global oil demand growing modestly by 1.2%, fueled by non-OECD markets such as China and India. SLB's diversified portfolio — spanning drilling, production, and digital solutions — captures this growth, with 60% of revenue coming from international markets that are less exposed to U.S. housing weakness. Its digital transformation, including the DELFI platform, enhances efficiency, boosting margins (Q1 2025 adjusted EBITDA margin: 25.3%, up 120 bps YoY). Strategic partnerships, like the $7.8 billion ADNOC contract, secure long-term revenue in high-margin Middle East markets. Financially, SLB's Q1 2025 results outperformed. Management raised 2025 guidance, projecting 15% revenue growth and EPS of $3.50, implying a forward P/E of 13, which is below that of peers like Halliburton. SLB's $3 billion share buyback and 2.3% dividend yield enhance shareholder value, supported by $1.2 billion in free cash flow. Tariffs (on equipment imports, for example) should be manageable, as SLB's global supply chain and localized production mitigate costs. A potential Federal Reserve rate cut (39 bps priced for 2025) could ease debt costs. Geopolitical tensions (e.g., OPEC+ cuts) create some support for oil prices, which in turn would support upstream investment. Technicals are mostly bullish, with eight of the top 10 best-performing indicators, including the Commodity Channel Index, flashing buy signals. That said, the longer-term trend since mid-2023 has been lower, and the stock has not meaningfully broken above the 150-day moving average since Q4 that year. So, what explains the weakness? Global oil demand growth is slow. Energy transition pressures curbing upstream investment. U.S. shale activity, 20% of SLB's revenue, is stagnating, with rig counts down 5% YoY (Baker Hughes, June 2025) Oil price volatility, along with geopolitical risks such as potential OPEC+ oversupply or a U.S.-China trade escalation, could push oil prices lower. Concerns about the Strait of Hormuz, which caused a brief spike in oil prices, have since been reversed as observers have determined that Iran would only harm itself if it threatened that vital oil shipping lane. Schlumberger will be reporting earnings on July 18. The average of sell-side analyst estimates is for adjusted EPS of 74 cents per share on revenue of $ 8.518 billion, down 11.6% and more than 6%, respectively, from the prior year. That said, valuation multiples are near their lowest levels on record, approaching numbers only seen previously during market crashes like the pandemic and the great financial crisis. I don't usually encourage trying to "catch the falling knife," but the stock has stabilized off the April lows. One way to take advantage of a basing situation, if that's what this is, would be to sell some puts. If the stock continues sideways or rallies one keeps the premium (and can potentially reload). Worst case one would own the stock at a discount, not far above the April lows. Here's the trade: Sell 1 Aug. 15 $35 put DISCLOSURES: None.
