First quarter revenue of $351.3 million grew 24% year-over-year

Record GAAP and non-GAAP operating income

Record net adds of customers with more than $500,000 in ARR

Launches AI Work Platform with Native Agents

NEW YORK & TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2026-- monday.com (NASDAQ: MNDY), the AI work platform that turns strategy into execution, at scale, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Management Commentary:

“The results we delivered in Q1 reflect a business that is executing with discipline and building with ambition at the same time,” said monday.com co-founders and co-CEOs Roy Mann and Eran Zinman. “The launch of the AI Work Platform and our shift to consumption-based pricing build directly on that momentum. As AI takes on more work for our customers, our business grows with it. We believe the best chapter of monday.com’s story is the one we are writing now.”

“Q1 was a strong quarter across every financial dimension, with revenue, margins and cash flow all coming in ahead of expectations,” said Eliran Glazer, monday.com CFO. “Perhaps most encouragingly, the AI productivity gains we are seeing inside our own organization are demonstrating that we can grow revenue without growing headcount in lockstep, a dynamic we believe will be a meaningful driver of operating leverage over time.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release and the accompanying tables contain the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, adjusted free cash flow, which is defined as free cash flow plus costs associated with the build-out and expansion of our corporate headquarters, and adjusted free cash flow margin. Certain of these non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation.

monday.com believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to monday.com’s financial condition and results of operations. monday.com management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare monday.com performance to that of prior periods, for trend analysis and for budgeting and planning purposes. monday.com believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing monday.com financial results to the results of other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in monday.com financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliation tables of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included with the financial tables at the end of this release. monday.com urges investors to review these reconciliation tables and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the monday.com business. Management is not able to forecast GAAP operating income (loss) on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting share-based compensation expense, the amounts of which may be significant in future periods. Management is not able to forecast GAAP net cash provided by operating activities on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting property and equipment purchases and capitalized software costs, the amounts of which may be significant in future periods.

Definitions of Business Key Performance Indicators

Net Dollar Retention Rate

We calculate Net Dollar Retention Rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from customers as of the 12 months prior to such period end (“Prior Period ARR”). We then calculate the ARR from these customers as of the current period end (“Current Period ARR”). The calculation of Current Period ARR includes any upsells, contraction and attrition. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the Net Dollar Retention Rate. For the trailing 12-month calculation, we take a weighted average of this calculation of our quarterly Net Dollar Retention Rate for the four quarters ending with the most recent quarter.

Annual Recurring Revenue

Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) is defined to mean, as of the measurement date, the annualized value of our customer subscription plans assuming that any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on its existing terms.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining Performance Obligations (RPOs) are the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the reporting date, including both deferred revenues and non-invoiced amounts expected to be billed and recognized in the future.

Current Remaining Performance Obligations

Current Remaining Performance Obligations (cRPOs) are the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the reporting date, including both deferred revenues and non-invoiced amounts expected to be billed and recognized in the next 12 months.
