signal:SPSC:2026-09-11 SPS Commerce (SPSC) Q2 2026: Recurring Growth and a Divestiture Loss
SPS Commerce’s second-quarter filing shows recurring-revenue growth and improved adjusted EBITDA, while GAAP profit fell because the company recorded a loss on the sale of its third-party revenue-recovery business. The reported $1.27 earnings figure in the original article was non-GAAP EPS, not GAAP EPS.
Revenue and customer mix
Second-quarter revenue increased 5.6% to $197.8 million from $187.4 million. Recurring revenue rose 6% to $190.4 million and remained 96% of total revenue.
Annualized recurring revenue per user increased 14% to approximately $15,100. The reported recurring-customer count fell 14% to about 46,650 because the June 30 divestiture removed roughly 8,200 third-party customers; after the sale, all reported recurring customers were first-party customers.
GAAP and adjusted results diverged
GAAP net income declined to $6.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, from $19.7 million and $0.52. The quarter included a $23.5 million loss on sale of the third-party portion of the revenue-recovery business.
Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes that sale loss along with stock compensation, amortization and other items, increased to $66.6 million from $56.1 million. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.27 versus $1.00. Both presentations are useful, but they answer different questions and should not be mixed.
What matters next
- Organic first-party customer growth after removing the divested population.
- Recurring-revenue and ARPU growth without acquisition distortion.
- GAAP margin after divestiture costs subside.
- Stock compensation and acquired-intangible amortization relative to cash earnings.
