(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A – General
Business Description
SPS Commerce is a global supply chain network that connects retailers, brands, distributors, manufacturers, and logistics providers through shared infrastructure built to handle the complexity of modern commerce operations. Our network enables companies to connect once and immediately transact with thousands of trading partners without negotiating standards, building integrations, or maintaining compliance logic.

We have embedded deep expertise, proven processes, and compliance logic built from over 20 years of commerce intelligence into every connection, delivering a full-service experience that empowers partners to move forward faster, together.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of SPS Commerce, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
This interim financial information has been prepared under the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We have included all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to provide a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
There were no material changes in our significant accounting policies, nor were there differences in the basis of our segmentation, during the three months ended March 31, 2026. See Note A to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC.

NOTE B – Business Acquisitions
Carbon6 Technologies, Inc.
On December 30, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding equity ownership interests of Carbon6 Technologies, Inc. ("Carbon6"), a provider of software tools to Amazon sellers, including specialized offerings for revenue recovery for both first-party ("1P") and third-party ("3P") suppliers. The acquisition became effective on February 4, 2025 ("Close"). Pursuant to the definitive agreement, the total consideration transferred was $210.2 million, net of cash acquired. The consideration was comprised of $142.5 million paid in cash, net of cash acquired, and 378,100 shares of SPS common stock (valued at $67.7 million, determined at acquisition Close based on the price of SPS common stock). The shares were issued from SPS treasury shares. The purchase accounting for the acquisition is final. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.
| SPS COMMERCE, INC. | 8 | Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2026 | ||||||
Unaudited pro forma information has not been disclosed for the Carbon6 acquisition as it was not considered material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Purchase Price Allocations
We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination. We allocated the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

Revenue by Geographic Area
Domestic revenue, which we define as revenue that was attributable to customers based within the United States ("U.S."), was as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||
| Domestic revenue | % | % | |||||||||
No single jurisdiction outside of the U.S. had revenues in excess of 10%.
Recurring Revenues
We define recurring revenue as active contracts during the reporting period under which the customer regularly pays us fees for subscription-based and reoccurring services. All components of the contracts that are not expected to recur (primarily set-ups and professional services) are excluded from recurring revenue.
Revenue for subscription-based services is recognized on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. Our contracts primarily range from monthly to annual and generally allow the customer to cancel the contract for any reason with 30 to 90 days’ notice. Timing of billings varies by customer and by contract type and are either in advance or within 30 days of the service being performed.
Given that the recurring revenue contracts are generally for one year or less, we have applied the optional exemption to not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations for recurring revenue contracts.
One-time Revenues
One-time revenues consist of set-up fees and miscellaneous fees from customers.
Set-up revenues
Set-up fees, a component of our revenue, are specific for each connection a customer has with a trading partner. These nonrefundable fees are necessary for our customers to utilize our services and do not provide any standalone value. Many of our customers have connections with numerous trading partners.
Set-up fees constitute a material renewal option right that provide customers a significant future incentive that would not be otherwise available to that customer unless they entered into the contract, as the set-up fees will not be incurred again upon contract renewal. As such, set-up fees and related costs are deferred and recognized ratably, generally over two years , which is the estimated period for which a material right is present for our customers.
The table below presents the activity of the portion of the deferred revenue liability relating to set-up fees. We expect to recognize $10.5 million of the balance as of March 31, 2026 as revenue over the next 12 months with the remaining amount recognized thereafter.

Miscellaneous one-time revenues
Miscellaneous one-time fees primarily consist of professional services and testing and certification.
The contract period for these one-time fees is one year or less and recognized at the time service is provided. We have applied the optional exemption to not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations for miscellaneous one-time fee contracts since they have original durations of one year or less.
| SPS COMMERCE, INC. | 10 | Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2026 | ||||||

Treasury Stock Reissuance
In connection with the acquisition of Carbon6 the Company re-issued treasury shares as part of the purchase consideration (see Note B – Business Acquisitions for further information).
NOTE K – Stock-Based Compensation
Our equity compensation plans include grants of incentive and nonqualified stock options, performance share units (“PSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and deferred stock units (“DSUs”), to employees, executive officers, and non-employee directors. We also provide an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) and 401(k) match to eligible participants. At March 31, 2026, there were 10.8 million shares available for grant under approved equity compensation plans.

NOTE L – Income Taxes
We record our interim provision for income taxes by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income and adjust the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. Our provision for income taxes includes current federal, state, and foreign income tax expense, as well as deferred tax expense.
Differences between our effective tax rate and statutory tax rates are primarily due to the impact of permanently non-deductible expenses partially offset by the federal research and development credits and tax benefits associated with foreign-derived deduction-eligible income. Additionally, excess tax benefits generated upon settlement or exercise of stock awards are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense as a discrete tax item in the quarter that the event occurs, creating potentially significant fluctuation in tax expense by quarter and by year.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was signed into law in the U.S., making permanent most of the expiring key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including, but not limited to, U.S. corporate international tax provisions, federal bonus depreciation, and deductions for domestic research and development expenditures. We evaluated the OBBBA and estimate the 2026 impact to be primarily a reduction in cash taxes due to the accelerated deduction of previously capitalized research and experimental expenditures. We continue to monitor the impact of state conformity legislation. The remaining provision of the OBBBA is not expected to have a material impact.

Overview
SPS Commerce is a global supply chain network that connects retailers, brands, distributors, manufacturers, and logistics providers through shared infrastructure built to handle the complexity of modern commerce operations. Our network enables companies to connect once and immediately transact with thousands of trading partners without negotiating standards, building integrations, or maintaining compliance logic.
Our network powers our portfolio of solutions that orchestrate the critical processes, protocols, and data exchanges needed to get the right product, in the right place, at the right time, every time. We have embedded deep expertise, proven processes, and compliance logic built from over 20 years of commerce intelligence into every connection, delivering a full-service experience that empowers partners to move forward faster, together.
We plan to continue to grow our business by further penetrating the supply chain management market, increasing revenues from our customers as their businesses grow, expanding our distribution channels, expanding our international presence and, from time to time, developing new products and applications. We also intend to selectively pursue acquisitions that will add customers, allow us to expand into new regions, or allow us to offer new functionalities.
Key Financial Terms, Metrics and Non-GAAP Measures
We have several key financial terms, metrics, and non-GAAP measures as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Recurring Revenue - We define recurring revenue as active contracts during the reporting period under which the customer regularly pays us fees for subscription-based and reoccurring services. All components of the contracts that are not expected to recur (primarily set-ups and professional services) are excluded from recurring revenue.
Recurring Revenue Customers - We define recurring revenue customers as customers with an active recurring revenue contract at the end of the period. A small portion of our recurring revenue customers consist of separate units within a larger organization and are separately invoiced. We treat each of these units, which may include divisions, departments, affiliates and franchises, as distinct recurring revenue customers. We classify the majority of our recurring revenue customers as '1P', with the exception of those recurring revenue customers that only have an online marketplace or e-Commerce connection within our network (which we refer to as '3P').
| SPS COMMERCE, INC. | 19 | Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2026 | ||||||
Annual Revenue Per User ("ARPU") - We calculate the annualized average recurring revenues per recurring revenue customer, by dividing the annualized recurring revenues for the period by the average of the beginning and ending number of recurring revenue customers for the period.
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 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We base our estimates of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
A critical accounting policy or estimate is one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments relating to uncertain matters that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, we believe that our policies for revenue recognition, internally developed software, and business combinations are the most critical to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no changes in our critical accounting policies or estimates. For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the discussion under "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity

Statements of Cash Flows Summary
The summary of activity within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows was as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||
| (in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 | |||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 55,629 | $ | 39,983 | |||||||

| Net cash used in financing activities | (45,861) | (38,954) | |||||||||
Operating Activities
The increase in cash provided by operating activities from the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in net income, as adjusted, for non-cash expenses of $8.2 million. Additionally, fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities resulted in an increase of $7.4 million driven by changes in the amount and timing of settlements.
Investing Activities
The decrease in cash used in investing activities from the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to cash used in the prior year to acquire a business of $141.6 million.
Financing Activities
The increase in cash used in financing activities from the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in cash used for share repurchases of $7.1 million year-over-year to continue to deliver shareholder value.
Contractual and Commercial Commitment Summary
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of March 31, 2026 are summarized below:
| Payments Due by Period | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1) Operating lease obligations include imputed interest and are presented net of lease incentives deemed payable at lease commencement. We expect to utilize approximately $18 million of the available lease incentives under the sixth amendment to our current headquarters lease during the year ending December 31, 2027, with the approximately remaining $15 million to be utilized thereafter.
| SPS COMMERCE, INC. | 21 | Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2026 | ||||||
Future Capital Requirements
Our future capital requirements may vary significantly from those now planned and will depend on many factors, including:
•costs to develop and implement new products and applications, if any;
•sales and marketing resources needed to further penetrate our market and gain acceptance of new products and applications that we may develop;
•expansion of our operations in the U.S. and internationally;
•response of competitors to our products and applications; and
•use of capital for acquisitions.
Historically, we have experienced increases in our expenditures consistent with the growth in our operations and personnel, and we anticipate that our expenditures will continue to increase as we expand our business.
We believe our cash, cash equivalents, and cash flows from our operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, investments in special purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt. Additionally, we are not a party to any derivative contracts or synthetic leases.
Foreign Currency Exchange and Inflation Rate Changes
For information regarding the effect of foreign currency exchange and inflation rate changes, refer to the section entitled “Foreign Currency Exchange Risk,” included in Part I, Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity Risk
The principal objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity, and maximize income consistent with minimizing risk of material loss. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. We may choose based on our investment strategy to hold cash, cash equivalents, and investments in interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing accounts. Based upon a sensitivity model, an immediate hypothetical 50-basis point change in interest rates on interest-bearing balances at March 31, 2026, would have resulted in a $0.2 million impact on our investment income included in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. We did not have any variable interest rate outstanding debt as of March 31, 2026.

Revenues - The increase in revenue period-over-period resulted from an increase in recurring revenue customers that was driven primarily by business acquisitions and continued business growth.
•ARPU decreased 2% to approximately $13,550 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was driven by the addition of 3P recurring revenue customers, which have much lower ARPU, partially offset by the increased usage of our products by our 1P recurring revenue customers.
•The number of recurring revenue customers increased 0.1% to approximately 54,200 at March 31, 2026. Of the total recurring revenue customers, approximately 46,900 are 1P recurring revenue customers and the remainder are 3P recurring revenue customers. New recurring revenue customers do not have a meaningful contribution to revenue at the beginning of their tenure, and therefore a majority of the increased revenue was generated from existing recurring revenue customers.
•Approximately 8,500 recurring revenue customers were added in February 2025 due to the acquisition of the existing customer base of Carbon6, of which approximately 300 are 1P recurring revenue customers and the remainder are 3P recurring revenue customers.
Recurring revenues increased 7% to $184.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Recurring revenues accounted for 96% and 94% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We anticipate that the number of recurring revenue customers and ARPU will increase as we execute our growth strategy focused on further penetration of our market.
Cost of Revenues - The increase in cost of revenues was primarily driven by $1.0 million of lower capitalization of deferred costs due to slowed hiring, as well as $0.7 million of expenses associated with an all-company meeting held in the current quarter, previously held in the fourth quarter of the calendar year.
Sales and Marketing Expenses - The increase in sales and marketing expense was primarily driven by a $1.8 million increase in stock-based compensation related to leadership transitions.
| SPS COMMERCE, INC. | 23 | Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period ended March 31, 2026 | ||||||
Research and Development Expenses - The increase in research and development expense was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense and increased software subscription costs. The rise in software subscription costs was further attributable to expanded investment in our artificial intelligence strategy.
General and Administrative Expenses - The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily driven by a $2.8 million increase in total compensation and personnel-related costs related to non-capitalizable activities supporting enterprise system implementations. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense increased by $2.1 million, partially attributable to $1.1 million of expense recognized from the contractual acceleration of equity-related awards upon executive retirement.
Amortization of Intangible Assets - The increase in amortization of intangible assets was driven by acquired intangible assets related to recent business combinations.
Other Income, Net - The decrease in other income, net was primarily due to a decrease in investment income.
Income Tax Expense - The increase in income tax expense was primarily driven by the reduction in tax benefits recognized from equity award exercise and settlement activity due to the fluctuations in share price. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in pre-tax book income and increased benefit for research & development tax credits.
Adjusted EBITDA - 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, and other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation. Other adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2026, included the expense impact from disposals of other equipment. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure of financial performance.

Non-GAAP Income per Share - 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, other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation, including for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the expense impact from disposals of other equipment, 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.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Due to international operations, we have revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and Euro. Our consolidated balance sheet, results of operations, and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Our predominate exposure to foreign currency exchange rates are due to non-monetary assets held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and thus fluctuations in foreign currencies primarily result in comprehensive income (loss), not net income (loss).
Our sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Our expenses are generally denominated in the local currencies in which our operations are located. As of March 31, 2026, we maintained 9% of our total cash and cash equivalents in foreign currencies. Based upon a sensitivity model, an immediate hypothetical 10% unfavorable change in all foreign currency exchange rates would have resulted in a $1.5 million impact on our cash and cash equivalents held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2026.
We have not used any forward contracts or currency borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, although we may do so in the future.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company is in the process of implementing new enterprise systems for financial and human capital management. As previously disclosed, during December 2025, we implemented new enterprise systems to replace certain legacy systems that were used for human capital management and payroll operations. We continued the integration of these systems during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, including the modification and implementation of related internal controls and procedures, which resulted in a material change to our internal control over financial reporting.
Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
