BILL (BILL) Expanded Non-GAAP Operating Profit While Reported Business Metric Fell. Has its Efficiency Push Gone Too Far?
BILL Holdings reported fiscal 2026 revenue of $436.2M, up 14% YoY, with non-GAAP operating income rising 80% to $101.6M. Core revenue grew 16% to $400.5M, while the number of businesses using its solutions declined. The company processed $98B in payment volume and 37M transactions, both up 14% YoY.
