Analysis
Five9 reported second-quarter revenue of $312.4 million, up 10% from $283.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The company also reported 14% year-over-year subscription revenue growth and described this as its third consecutive quarter of accelerating subscription revenue growth. Retention remained above 100%, with an LTM subscription dollar-based retention rate of 107% and an LTM subscription and telecom dollar-based retention rate of 106% as of June 30, 2026.
Profitability showed a split outcome. GAAP net income increased to $3.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, from $1.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. However, non-GAAP net income declined to $53.5 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, from $58.3 million, or $0.76 per diluted share. GAAP gross margin declined to 53.4% from 54.9%, while adjusted gross margin declined to 61.4% from 63.0%.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $70.1 million from $67.9 million, but its margin declined to 22.4% of revenue from 24.0% of revenue. GAAP operating cash flow rose to $42.1 million from $35.1 million. The release did not report free cash flow, cash, debt, repurchases, or dividends.
Commercial and product activity centered on AI and enterprise distribution. Five9 announced an approximately $100 Million Total Contract Value new customer win through the Google Marketplace and launched Five9 Voice AI Agents. The company also appointed a Chief Technology Officer, Chief Sales Officer, and Executive Vice President, Transformation and Strategy, and joined the S&P SmallCap 600 on August 3, 2026.
For the third quarter of 2026, Five9 guided revenue to $316.0 to $322.0 million and GAAP net income per share to $0.09 to $0.16. Full-year 2026 revenue guidance is $1.260 to $1.272 billion, with GAAP net income per share guidance of $0.71 to $0.82. The release did not provide prior guidance, so reported results cannot be assessed against prior company outlook in this filing.
Management, verbatim
Q2 marks our third consecutive quarter of accelerating subscription revenue growth, with AI revenue accelerating even faster, and further evidence that our focused execution is producing results. Closing a 9-figure TCV agreement through the Google Marketplace and launching Five9 Voice AI Agents in the same quarter underscore the breadth of our platform and the strength of our market position. With the executive appointments in June, I am confident we have the right team and strategy to extend this momentum and compete to win in AI-empowered customer experiences.

Background
This is a SEC Form 8-K with Exhibit 99.1 covering Five9’s Q2 2026 results and forward guidance.
Ticker impact
Five9 reports Q2 revenue up 10% to $312.4M, plus full-year 2026 and Q3 2026 guidance in an 8-K.
Likely positive bias if results and guidance are viewed as credible versus expectations, with focus on subscription growth and margin trajectory.
The article discloses multiple new, decision-relevant datapoints: Q2 revenue, GAAP and non-GAAP profitability, adjusted EBITDA, and explicit 2026 and Q3 guidance ranges.
Market effects
Signals ongoing demand for AI-enabled customer experience platforms, potentially supporting sentiment for the CX/CCaaS software cohort.
Limited direct regional spillover; primarily impacts US software sentiment.
Low global macro linkage; more relevant to enterprise software and contact center technology investors.
Counterpoint
Non-GAAP strength may be offset by GAAP margin and net income softness, so the market may discount the headline profitability.
