Earnings Webcast:

Supplemental materials, including management’s prepared remarks and a slide presentation, will be available on Navan's Investor Relations website at investors.navan.com in advance of the call. An archived webcast of this conference call will also be available on Navan's Investor Relations website.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Navan has provided in this press release supplemental financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
We include these non-GAAP financial measures because they are important measures upon which our management assesses our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide useful information about our financial performance, consistency and comparability with past financial performance and may assist in comparisons with other companies in our industry, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
A reconciliation of Navan’s historical non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included herein, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations.
- Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin. Navan defines non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit, excluding stock-based compensation-related charges, amortization of intangible assets, and restructuring costs. Navan defines non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue.
- Non-GAAP Income from Operations and Non-GAAP Operating Margin. Navan defines non-GAAP income from operations as GAAP loss from operations, excluding stock-based compensation-related charges, amortization of intangible assets, severance and executive transition costs, and restructuring costs. Navan defines non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP income from operations divided by revenue.
- Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss). Navan defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as GAAP net loss, excluding stock-based compensation-related charges, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, loss on fair value adjustments, SAFE debt issuance costs expensed, loss on extinguishment of debt, severance and executive transition costs, and restructuring costs, and adjusted to reflect the income tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments to GAAP loss before income tax expense.
- Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) Per Share. Navan defines non-GAAP income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, basic, as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted-average shares outstanding used in computing GAAP net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic. Navan defines non-GAAP income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted, as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted-average shares outstanding giving effect to the weighted average of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period including options to purchase common stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase rights under our 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock awards is reflected in non-GAAP diluted income per share by application of the treasury method.
- Free Cash Flow. Navan defines free cash flow as GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reduced by cash used for investing activities for capitalized software development costs and purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful indicator of our sources of liquidity and capital requirements that provides information to management and investors in evaluating the cash flow trends of our business.
Key Business Metrics:
We monitor and review a number of metrics, including the following key business metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe that these key business metrics provide meaningful supplemental information in assessing our operating performance.
Gross Booking Volume (GBV)
We define GBV as the total amount paid for valid bookings on our platform, measured on a booked basis and inclusive of total price, taxes, and fees, and adjusted for cancellations and refunds. We generate GBV through hotel, flight, car, and rail bookings, along with usage of our
Payment Volume
We define payment volume as the aggregate dollar amount of spend through Navan issued cards, settled for a given period and net of any chargebacks, cancellations, or refunds. Our payment volume grows as we increase adoption and usage of our Corporate Payments offering, where we support and issue our own cards.
Forward-Looking Statements:
This press release and the related conference call contain express and implied “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the performance of Navan’s business, Navan’s financial results, including Navan’s anticipated total revenue, non-GAAP income from operations, and non-GAAP operating margin for the fiscal quarter ending
