Founded in late 2011 by a team of banking professionals and entrepreneurs, including James “Chip” Mahan III, Neil Underwood, Pierre Naude, Nathan Snell, and Daniel Pullen, the company was created to help financial institutions replace fragmented, manual processes with a unified cloud platform. Sean Desmond serves as President and Chief Executive Officer, while other reported senior leaders include Greg Orenstein as Chief Financial Officer and April Reiger as Chief Legal and Compliance Officer. Pierre Naude, an important figure in the company’s formation and development, serves as Executive Chairman.
The company’s principal product is the nCino Bank Operating System, a multi-tenant software-as-a-service platform built on cloud infrastructure. It is designed for regulated financial organizations and supports workflows across retail banking, commercial banking, small-business banking, lending, deposits, account opening, customer onboarding, and compliance. By consolidating data and processes, nCino aims to improve employee productivity, accelerate decisions, enhance transparency, reduce operational friction, and provide customers with more consistent digital experiences. The platform uses analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to support automation and decision-making while retaining the role of bankers and other financial professionals in judgment-intensive activities.
nCino IQ is an additional suite focused on analytics, automation, credit risk, and regulatory processes. It is intended to help institutions assess and manage credit exposure, identify operational insights, and strengthen compliance capabilities. The company also offers SimpleNexus, a digital mortgage and homeownership platform acquired to connect loan officers, borrowers, real estate professionals, and settlement agents through internet-enabled workflows. This broadens nCino’s addressable market beyond core bank operating processes into mortgage origination and home financing.
nCino serves a wide range of customers, including global and enterprise banks, regional and community banks, credit unions, emerging financial institutions, and independent mortgage banks. Its commercial model is primarily subscription-based, consistent with enterprise SaaS, with sales and customer support delivered through business development representatives, account executives, field sales engineers, implementation resources, and customer success teams. Subscription economics can provide recurring revenue and high customer retention, although the company must continue investing in research and development, sales, implementation, security, and compliance to serve highly regulated customers.
The supplied information reports approximately 1,684 full-time employees and 2024 revenue of about $540.7 million. The company reported a trailing gross margin of approximately 60.7%, an EBITDA margin of about 11.8%, and positive trailing free cash flow of roughly $163.6 million. Its financial profile reflects a growing software business that has reached positive profitability and cash generation, while still carrying meaningful intangible assets and experiencing relatively modest returns on assets and equity. Key ongoing priorities include expanding adoption of its banking platform, integrating artificial intelligence and agentic banking capabilities, increasing cross-selling among existing customers, improving operational efficiency, and maintaining strong data security and regulatory compliance. nCino’s long-term opportunity depends on continued digitization of financial services, but it faces competition from banking software vendors, core processors, fintech platforms, internal technology teams, and broader enterprise software providers.

Operator: Thank you for standing by, and welcome to nCino's Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2027 Financial Results Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, today's program is being recorded. And now I'd like to introduce your host for today's program, Harrison Masters. Vice President, Investor Relations. Please go ahead, sir.
Harrison Masters: Good afternoon, and welcome to nCino's Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 Earnings Call. With me on today's call are Sean Desmond, nCino's Chief Executive Officer; and Greg Orenstein, nCino's Chief Financial Officer. During the course of this conference call, we will make forward-looking statements regarding trends, strategies and the anticipated performance of our business. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current views and expectations, entail certain assumptions made as of today's date, and are subject to various risks and uncertainties described in our SEC filings and other publicly available documents, the financial services industry and global economic conditions. nCino disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. Further, on today's call, we will also discuss certain non-GAAP metrics that we believe aid in the understanding of our financial results. A reconciliation to comparable GAAP metrics can be found in today's earnings release, which is available on our website and as an exhibit to the Form 8-K furnished with the SEC just before this call as well as the earnings presentation on our Investor Relations website at investor.ncino.com. With that, I will turn the call over to Sean.
