Last earnings call, Aug 4, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- BlackLine reported Q2 2026 revenue growth of 9.2% with non-GAAP operating margin of 23.3% and $37M free cash flow. RPO grew 17% to over $1.1B, with current RPO up 11%. Nearly 90% of net new business landed on platform pricing, new deal sizes up 24%, and multiyear commitments rose to 56% of renewals from 45% prior year. Approximately $8M in deals slipped due to elongated enterprise sales cycles driven by AI evaluation complexity.
- Guidance
- Management did not provide specific Q3 or full-year numerical targets in this excerpt. Near-term growth expected to understate actual demand until platform and AI adoption scale. Eligible ARR on platform crossed 17%, up from 13% last quarter, signaling positive trajectory.
