Third Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
“The progress we have made to date with our agentic transformation initiatives – both across our product portfolio and internally – has exceeded my expectations. I want to recognize all of Team SPS for their agentic-first mindset and commitment to this transformation,” said Chad Collins, CEO of SPS Commerce. “With our agentic strategy advancing, we are uniquely positioned to deliver sustainable, profitable growth, backed by the combination of AI and SPS’ intelligent network – a powerful and durable competitive moat that no one else can match.”

Guidance
As a result of the divestiture of the 3P Revenue Recovery business on June 30, 2026, guidance factors in a reduction of approximately $10.5 million in revenue to the second half of 2026. The divestiture is expected to be neutral to Adjusted EBITDA in the second half of 2026.
Fourth Quarter 2026 Guidance
Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance
The forward-looking measures and the underlying assumptions involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and actual results may vary materially. The Company does not present a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and non-GAAP income per share, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because it is impractical to forecast certain items without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting, within a reasonable range, the occurrence and financial impact of and the periods in which such items may be recognized.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, we provide investors with Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and non-GAAP income per share, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to our management, Board of Directors, and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.
Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to an investor as they are widely used in evaluating operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used to measure operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, and to present a meaningful measure of corporate performance exclusive of capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release.
Adjusted EBITDA Measures:
Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income adjusted for income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, realized gain from investments and foreign currency transactions, investment income, loss on sale of business, and other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation. Other adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2026 included asset disposals and for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, included the remeasurement of an acquired earn-out liability, asset disposals, and the net impact of divestiture-related exit and disposal activity. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure of financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin consists of Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Margin, the comparable GAAP measure of financial performance, consists of net income divided by revenue.
Non-GAAP Income Per Share Measure:
Non-GAAP income per share consists of net income adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense related to intangible assets, realized gain from investments and foreign currency transactions, loss on sale of business, and other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation, including for the three months ended September 30, 2026 asset disposals and for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the remeasurement of an acquired earn-out liability, asset disposals, net impact of divestiture-related exit and disposal activity, and the corresponding tax impacts of the adjustments to net income, divided by the weighted average number of shares of common and diluted stock outstanding during each period. Net income per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure of financial performance, consists of net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common and diluted stock outstanding during each period. To quantify the tax effects, we recalculated income tax expense excluding the direct book and tax effects of the specific items constituting the non-GAAP adjustments. The difference between this recalculated income tax expense and GAAP income tax expense is presented as the income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments.
