New Share Repurchase Program
BILL announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion in shares of its outstanding common stock.
This authorization includes unused amounts under BILL’s existing share repurchase program announced in August 2025. Pursuant to this authorization, BILL may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. This authorization has a term of 24 months, may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time, and does not obligate BILL to acquire any amount of common stock BILL expects to fund such stock repurchases using existing cash.
Financial Outlook
We are providing the following guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter ending June 30, 2026 and the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
The outlook for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share includes a non-GAAP provision for income taxes of 20%. The outlook for non-GAAP net income per diluted share does not take any future repurchases of BILL shares into account, as the impact of such repurchases on a per diluted share basis is not reasonably estimable.
These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the “Note on Forward-Looking Statements” below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for additional information on our non-GAAP financial measures and to the reconciliation tables at the end of this press release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results. BILL has not provided a reconciliation of its non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income or non-GAAP net income per diluted share guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items excluded from GAAP cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.
Conference Call and Webcast Information
In conjunction with this announcement, BILL will host a conference call for investors at 1:30 p.m. PT (4:30 p.m. ET) today to discuss fiscal third quarter 2026 results and our outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter ending June 30, 2026 and fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain, and the conference call will contain, non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, basic and diluted, and free cash flow. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool.
We exclude the following items from non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin:
We exclude the following items from non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP operating income:
We exclude the following items from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share:
It is important to note that the particular items we exclude from, or include in, our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. We also periodically review our non-GAAP financial measures and may revise these measures to reflect changes in our business or otherwise, including our blended U.S. statutory tax rate.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.
We adjust the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes charged to cost of revenue and operating expenses.We exclude stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense, and related payroll taxes from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding these items provide meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, companies calculate stock-based compensation expenses using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions while the related payroll taxes are dependent on the price of our common stock and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of our business.
Depreciation and amortization.We exclude depreciation and amortization from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this non-cash charge provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. Depreciation and amortization do not include amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs paid in cash.
Restructuring.We exclude costs incurred in connection with formal restructuring plans and reductions-in-force from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because these costs are atypical and would have not otherwise been incurred in the normal course of our business operations.
Professional advisory fees related to shareholders' activism.We exclude costs associated with incremental professional advisory fees incurred in connection with activist shareholders, as these costs are atypical and do not reflect costs incurred from our regular engagement with shareholders.
Gain on debt extinguishment.We exclude gain on debt extinguishment associated with our repurchases of certain of our outstanding convertible senior notes because we believe that excluding this non-cash gain provides better insight regarding our operational performance.
Amortization of debt issuance costs.We exclude amortization of debt issuance costs associated with our issuance of our convertible senior notes and credit arrangement from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this non-cash interest expense provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance.
Non-GAAP provision for income taxes.Consists of assumed provision for income taxes based on the statutory tax rate taking into consideration the nature of the taxed item and the relevant taxing jurisdiction.
In addition, free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted by purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of internal-use software costs. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is generated, after incurring operating expenses, purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of internal-use software costs, for future operational expenses and investment in our business. Free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash in the ordinary course of business. One limitation of free cash flow is that it does not reflect our future contractual commitments. Additionally, free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain strong balance sheets and invest in future growth.
There are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures since they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this press release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results.
“BILL AP/ARˮ and “BILL Spend and Expenseˮ exclude revenue contributed by customers referred through our FI Channel.
“Embedded Solutions and Otherˮ includes revenue contributed from our FI Channel, Invoice2go, and other solutions.
Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding.
