NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and unless otherwise indicated)

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Description of Business:nCino, Inc. is a software-as-a-service ("SaaS") company that provides software applications to financial institutions to streamline employee and client interactions. The Company is headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina and has offices in Salt Lake City, Utah; London, United Kingdom; Sydney, Australia; Melbourne, Australia; Toronto, Canada; and Tokyo, Japan.
On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Penny HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Parent"), SimpleNexus, LLC, a Utah limited liability company ("SimpleNexus"), and certain other parties thereto providing for a merger transaction with the Company and SimpleNexus surviving as wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent and the holders of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0005 ("Company Common Stock") immediately prior to the effectuation of the merger transaction receiving a commensurate number of shares of Parent common stock, par value $0.0005 ("Parent Common Stock"). See Note 15 "Subsequent Event" for additional information regarding the Merger Agreement.
Fiscal Year End:The Company's fiscal year ends on January 31.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation:The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as a variable interest entity in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. See the variable interest entity section below and Note 3 "Variable Interest Entity and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest" for additional information regarding the Company's variable interest entity.
The Company is subject to the normal risks associated with technology companies that have not demonstrated sustainable income from operations, including product development, the risk of customer acceptance and market penetration of its products and services and, ultimately, the need to attain profitability to generate positive cash resources.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full fiscal 2022 or any future period.
In March 2021, a Certificate of Amendment was filed with the state of Delaware for Visible Equity, LLC ("Visible Equity"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to change its name to nCino Portfolio Analytics, LLC. The state of Delaware effected the name change in April 2021.
Effective February 1, 2021, the Company adopted the requirement of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)using the alternative transition method. Under this method, the Company is not required to restate or disclose the effects of applying this ASU for comparative periods. See the Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance section for the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).
Variable Interest Entity:The Company holds an interest in a Japanese company ("nCino K.K.") that is considered a variable interest entity ("VIE"). nCino K.K. is considered a VIE as it has insufficient equity capital to finance its

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and unless otherwise indicated)
activities without additional financial support. The Company is the primary beneficiary of nCino K.K. as it has the power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of nCino K.K. and has the obligation to absorb expected losses and the right to receive expected benefits that could be significant to nCino K.K., in accordance with accounting guidance. As a result, the Company consolidated nCino K.K. and all significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated. The Company will continue to assess whether it has a controlling financial interest and whether it is the primary beneficiary at each reporting period. Other than the Company's equity investment, the Company has not provided financial or other support to nCino K.K. that it was not contractually obligated to provide. The assets of the VIE can only be used to settle the obligations of the VIE and the creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the Company. The assets and liabilities of the VIE were not significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements except for cash which is reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 3 "Variable Interest Entity and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest" for additional information regarding the Company's variable interest.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest:Redeemable non-controlling interest relates to minority investors of nCino K.K. An agreement with the minority investors of nCino K.K. contains redemption features whereby the interest held by the minority investors are redeemable either at the option of the (i) minority investors or (ii) the Company, both beginning on the eighth anniversary of the initial capital contribution. If the interest of the minority investors were to be redeemed under this agreement, the Company would be required to redeem the interest based on a prescribed formula derived from the relative revenues of nCino K.K. and the Company. The balance of the redeemable non-controlling interest is reported at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the redeemable non-controlling interest's share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its estimated redemption value. The resulting changes in the estimated redemption amount (increases or decreases) are recorded with corresponding adjustments against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in-capital. These interests are presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets outside of equity under the caption "Redeemable non-controlling interest."
Use of Estimates:The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by the Company's management are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition including determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, variable consideration, stand-alone selling price, and other revenue items requiring significant judgement; the average period of benefit associated with costs capitalized to obtain revenue contracts; fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations; the useful lives of intangible assets; the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; redemption value of redeemable non-controlling interest and stock-based compensation. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis using historical experience and other factors. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers:The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company's cash and cash equivalents exceeded the Federal deposit insurance limit at January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2021. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash with high-credit-quality financial institutions.
As of January 31, 2021, no individual customer represented more than 10% of accounts receivable and, as of October 31, 2021, one customer represented 34% of accounts receivable. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2021, no individual customer represented more than 10% of the Company's total revenues.
Restricted Cash:Restricted cash consists of deposits held as collateral for the Company's bank guarantees issued in place of security deposits for certain property leases.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances:A receivable is recorded when an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment exists, such that only the passage of time is required before payment of consideration is due. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Certain performance obligations may require payment before delivery of the service to the customer. We recognize a contract asset in the form of accounts receivable when we have an unconditional right to payment, and we record a contract asset in the form of unbilled accounts receivable when revenues earned on a contract exceeds the billings. The Company's standard billing terms are annual in advance. An unbilled

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and unless otherwise indicated)
accounts receivable is a contract asset related to the delivery of the Company's subscription services and professional services for which the related billings will occur in a future period. Unbilled accounts receivable consists of (i) revenues recognized for professional services performed but not yet billed and (ii) revenues recognized from non-cancelable, multi-year orders in which fees increase annually but for which we are not contractually able to invoice until a future period. Accounts receivable are reported at their gross outstanding balance reduced by an allowance for estimated receivable losses, which includes allowances for doubtful accounts and a reserve for expected credit losses.
The Company records allowances for doubtful accounts based upon the credit worthiness of customers, historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable, current market and economic conditions, and supportable forecasts about the future. Relevant risk characteristics include customer size and historical loss patterns. See the Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance section for the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.
A summary of activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:
Three Months Ended October 31, Nine Months Ended October 31,
2020 2021 2020 2021
Balance, beginning of period $ 622 $ 59 $ - $ 88
Charged to (recovery of) bad debt expense (277) 89 342 84
Other - - - (24)
Translation adjustments (3) 3 - 3
Balance, end of period $ 342 $ 151 $ 342 $ 151
Leases: The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception date based on whether there is an identified asset and whether the Company controls the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Company determines the classification of the lease, whether operating or financing, at the lease commencement date, which is the date the leased assets are made available for use. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for its facilities and equipment leases. The Company did not have any finance leases as of October 31, 2021.
Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term reflects the noncancelable period of the lease together with options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such option. Variable costs, such as common area maintenance costs, are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities, but are expensed as incurred. The Company's leases do not generally provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lease expense for such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842).The standard will affect all entities that lease assets and will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (except for short-term leases that have a duration of less than one year) as of the date on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. For lessors, accounting for leases is substantially the same as in prior periods. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10,Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard. ASU 2016-02, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. If the Company were to cease meeting the emerging growth company criteria during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, this ASU would be effective for the Company for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. Since the Company will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company as of January 31, 2022, the Company adopted this ASU effective February 1, 2021.

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and unless otherwise indicated)
The Company used the alternative transition method in which the Company is not required to restate or disclose the effects of applying this ASU for comparative periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients which permits the Company to not reassess prior conclusions pertaining to lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. In addition, the Company elected ongoing practical expedients including the option to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases (leases with an original term of twelve months or less). The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for our facilities and equipment leases.
The adoption of this ASU resulted in the recognition of operating right-of-use assets of $10.5 million and lease liabilities of $12.2 million, and the derecognition of deferred rent on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet on February 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not impact the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss or the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Upon the adoption of this ASU there was no change to the accounting for the Company's financing obligation.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. If the Company were to cease meeting the emerging growth company criteria during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, this ASU would be effective for the Company for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. Since the Company will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company as of January 31, 2022, the Company adopted this ASU effective February 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU, which impacted the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts, did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If the Company were to cease meeting the emerging growth company criteria during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, this ASU would be effective for the Company for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. Since the Company will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company as of January 31, 2022, the Company adopted this ASU effective February 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The guidance includes amendments to improve the codification by ensuring that all guidance that requires or provides an option for an entity to provide information in the notes to the financial statements is codified in the disclosure section of the codification and to clarify guidance so that entities can apply guidance more consistently on codifications that are varied in nature where the original guidance may have been unclear. ASU 2020-10 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. If the Company were to cease meeting the emerging growth company criteria during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, this ASU would be effective for the Company for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. Since the Company will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company as of January 31, 2022, the Company adopted this ASU effective February 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted: In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The standard addresses diversity and inconsistency related to the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning

after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. Since the Company will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company as of January 31, 2022, this ASU would be effective for the Company for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to the Company's financial statements.
Note 3. Variable Interest Entity and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
In October 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Japan Cloud Computing, L.P. and M30 LLC (collectively, the "Investors") to engage in the investment, organization, management, and operation of nCino K.K. that is focused on the distribution of the Company's products in Japan. In October 2019, the Company initially contributed $4.7 million in cash in exchange for 51% of the outstanding common stock of nCino K.K. As of October 31, 2021, the Company controls a majority of the outstanding common stock in nCino K.K.
All of the common stock held by the Investors is callable by the Company or puttable by the Investors at the option of the Investors or at the option of the Company beginning on the eighth anniversary of the agreement with the Investors. Should the call or put option be exercised, the redemption value would be determined based on a prescribed formula derived from the discrete revenues of nCino K.K. and the Company and may be settled, at the Company's discretion, with Company stock or cash or a combination of the foregoing. As a result of the put right available to the Investors, the redeemable non-controlling interests in nCino K.K. are classified outside of permanent equity in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The estimated redemption value of the call/put option embedded in the redeemable non-controlling interest was $0.5 million at October 31, 2021.
The following table summarizes the activity in the redeemable non-controlling interests for the period indicated below:
Three Months Ended October 31, Nine Months Ended October 31,

Adjustment to redeemable non-controlling interest 76 368 343 61
Balance, end of period $ 4,166 $ 2,360 $ 4,166 $ 2,360
Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1.Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2.Significant other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3.Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value as of January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2021 because of the relatively short duration of these instruments.

The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts with customers by geographic location. Revenues by geography are determined based on the region of the Company's contracting entity, which may be different than the region of the customer. No country outside the United States represented 10% or more of total revenues.

Other accounts receivable 519 1,027
Total accounts receivable, net $ 55,517 $ 33,776
Deferred Revenue and Remaining Performance Obligations
Significant movements in the deferred revenue balance during the period consisted of increases due to payments received or due in advance prior to the transfer of control of the underlying performance obligations to the customer, which were offset by decreases due to revenues recognized in the period. During the nine months ended October 31, 2021, $82.2 million of revenues were recognized out of the deferred revenue balance as of January 31, 2021.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenues that have not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenues in future periods. Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation is influenced by several factors, including the timing of renewals, average contract terms, and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company applies practical expedients to exclude amounts related to performance obligations that are billed and recognized as they are delivered, optional purchases that do not represent material rights, and any estimated amounts of variable consideration that are subject to constraint.
Remaining performance obligations were $717.7 million as of October 31, 2021. The Company expects to recognize approximately 59% of its remaining performance obligation as revenues in the next 24 months, approximately 32% more in the following 25 to 48 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The first offering period for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") began on July 1, 2021 and will end on December 31, 2021. Thereafter, offering periods will begin on January 1 and July 1.
The fair value of ESPP shares is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model based on assumptions as follows for ESPP awards:
Expected life.The expected life reflects the period for which the Company believes the ESPP will remain outstanding. The expected term for the ESPP award approximates the offering period of six months.
Expected volatility.The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock.
Expected dividends.The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has not and does not expect to pay dividends.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
In addition to the operating lease commitments described in Note 11 "Leases", the Company has additional contractual commitments as described further below.
Purchase Commitments
The Company's purchase commitments consist of non-cancellable agreements to purchase goods and services, primarily licenses, entered into in the ordinary course of business.
Financing Obligations and Construction Liabilities
The Company entered into a new lease agreement for our headquarters in November 2020 with a new lessor. The lease goes through 2035 with options to renew. Due to a purchase option contained in the lease, the Company is deemed to have continuing involvement and is considered to be the owner of our headquarters for accounting purposes. As a result, the Company did not meet the criteria to apply sale-leaseback accounting and therefore, recorded an asset and corresponding financing obligation for $16.3 million at inception of the lease. Upon expiration of the purchase option in the lease, the lease will be analyzed for applicable lease accounting. The fair value of the leased property and corresponding financing obligation are included in property and equipment, net and financing obligations on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

In January 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for a parking deck which is an addition to our existing headquarters building. Due to the Company also being deemed to be the owner of the parking deck for accounting purposes, the costs associated with the construction of the parking deck were capitalized as construction in progress with a corresponding construction liability through construction. Upon completion of the parking deck in September 2021, for approximately $17.7 million, the costs of the construction in progress and the corresponding construction liability were reclassified to property and equipment, net and financing obligations on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively. Upon expiration of the purchase option in the lease, the lease will be analyzed for applicable lease accounting.
In April 2021, the Company entered into a new lease agreement for the construction of an additional office building that is on the property of our existing headquarters. Due to the Company also being deemed to be the owner of the additional building for accounting purposes, the costs associated with the construction of the building will be capitalized as construction in progress with a corresponding construction liability through construction which is estimated to be approximately $24.0 million. Upon completion of the building, the construction liability will be recorded as a financing obligation. Upon expiration of the purchase option in the lease, the lease will be analyzed for applicable lease accounting. The costs of the construction in progress and corresponding construction liability are included in property and equipment, net and construction liability, noncurrent on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
Purchase commitments and future minimum lease payments required under financing obligations as of October 31, 2021 were as follows:

Financing obligations $ 33,760
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company generally includes standard indemnification provisions in its arrangements with third parties, including vendors, customers, and the Company's directors and officers. Pursuant to these provisions, the Company may be obligated to indemnify such parties for losses or claims suffered or incurred. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to the Company's limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any material liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims including the following:
On February 23, 2021, the Company and certain of its officers and other employees were served with grand jury subpoenas wherein the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice is seeking documents and information in connection with an investigation of the Company's hiring and wage practices under U.S. federal antitrust laws. The Company has retained

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and unless otherwise indicated)
outside counsel and is fully cooperating with the authorities. Although there can be no assurance with respect to the outcome of this matter, the Company believes its hiring and wage practices do not violate antitrust laws.
On March 12, 2021, a putative class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina (the "District Court"). The sole class representative in the suit is one individual alleging a contract, combination or conspiracy between and among the Company, Live Oak Bancshares, Inc. ("Live Oak") and Apiture, Inc. ("Apiture") not to solicit or hire each other's employees in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act and N.C. Gen Stat. §§ 75-1 and 75-2. The complaint seeks treble damages and additional remedies, including restitution, disgorgement, reasonable attorneys' fees, the costs of the suit, and pre-judgment and post judgment interest. The complaint does not allege any specific damages. On November 23, 2021, the District Court approved preliminary settlements between the plaintiff and defendant Live Oak in the amount of approximately $3.9 million and unnamed party Apiture in the amount of approximately $0.8 million. Although there can be no assurance with respect to the outcome of this matter, the Company believes the alleged claims are not meritorious and intends to defend itself vigorously.
The Company does not presently believe the above matters will have a material adverse effect on its day-to-day operations or the quality of the services, products or innovation it continues to provide to its customers. However, regardless of the outcome, legal proceedings can have an adverse impact on us because of the related expenses, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
Given the uncertainty and preliminary stages of these matters, we cannot reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of loss that may result.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company may be subject to audits by tax authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or potentially through the courts. The Company accrues for any assessments if deemed probable and estimable.
Note 13. Related-Party Transactions
The Company's main vendor is also an equityholder in the Company. Total payments related to the agreement with the related party are disclosed in Note 8.

No funds were spent under the agreement during the nine months ended October 31, 2020.
The Company entered into a Merger Agreement, as disclosed in Note 1 "Organization and Description of Business".

See Note 15 "Subsequent Event" for additional information regarding the Merger Agreement.
Note 14. Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to nCino, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the fiscal period. Diluted loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted average dilutive common stock, including stock options issued and outstanding, nonvested RSUs issued and outstanding, and shares issuable pursuant to the ESPP. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Diluted loss per share for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2021 and for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2021 is the same as the basic loss per share as there was a net loss for those periods, and inclusion of potentially issuable shares was anti-dilutive.
The components of basic and diluted loss per share for periods presented are as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):
Three Months Ended October 31, Nine Months Ended October 31,
2020 2021 2020 2021

Note 15. Subsequent Event
On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Parent, SimpleNexus and certain other parties thereto, with the Company and SimpleNexus surviving as wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent. The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will pay to certain securityholders of SimpleNexus and certain blocker entities a total consideration of approximately $1.2 billion, subject to certain customary adjustments. The consideration to be paid to such securityholders will consist, in the aggregate, of approximately 80% Parent Common Stock (at a fixed value of $72.5250 per share, which is the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of the shares of the Company Common Stock for the 20 trading days prior to and including November 12, 2021) and approximately 20% in cash, subject to certain customary adjustments. Any securityholder of SimpleNexus or the blocker entities that is not an accredited investor will receive his, her or its portion of the merger consideration solely in cash

21
Table of Contents
nCino, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and unless otherwise indicated)
and the securityholders that are accredited investors will receive proportionally more shares of Parent Common Stock and less cash. A portion of the cash consideration will also be held in escrow to serve as security for the potential payment of a customary post-closing purchase price adjustment, capped at the amount of such escrowed funds.
In connection with the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, each share of the Company Common Stock, par value $0.0005, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectuation of the merger will automatically convert into an equivalent corresponding share of Parent Common Stock, having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the corresponding share of the Company Common Stock being converted. Accordingly, upon the consummation of the merger, the Company's stockholders immediately prior to the consummation of the merger will become the stockholders of the Parent. The stockholders of the Company will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the conversion of their shares in connection with the merger.
The merger will be conducted pursuant to Section 251(g) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which provides for the formation of a holding company without a vote of the stockholders of the constituent corporation. The conversion of stock will occur automatically. Following the consummation of the merger, Parent Common Stock shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on an uninterrupted basis under the symbol "NCNO" with a new CUSIP number. Immediately after consummation of the merger, Parent will have, on a consolidated basis, the same assets, businesses and operations as the Company had immediately prior to the consummation of the merger. As a result of the merger, Parent will become the successor issuer to the Company pursuant to 12g-3(a) of the Exchange Act and as a result the Parent Common Stock shares will be deemed registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.
The completion of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (ii) the absence of any material applicable law or any order that has the effect of enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the completion of the mergers, (iii) the receipt of certain tax opinions, (iv) the absence of a material adverse effect on the Company and SimpleNexus, and (v) the authorization for listing of the shares of Parent Common Stock on Nasdaq. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year, ending January 31, 2022.
Affiliates of Insight Partners are equityholders of SimpleNexus and certain other parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and other affiliates of Insight Partners are currently significant stockholders of the Company (collectively, the "Insight Parties"). As such, and as a condition and material inducement to the willingness of the Company, Parent and other parties to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and the Insight Parties have entered into a restrictive covenant agreement with Parent providing for, among other things, the Insight Parties' agreement not to sell or otherwise directly or indirectly dispose of approximately two-thirds of the shares of Parent Common Stock that will be held by the Insight Parties following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, on a pro forma basis, and assuming no sales by the Insight Parties of shares of the Company's Common Stock prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, approximately one-third of this approximately two-thirds will be released from such restrictions on each of the six, nine and twelve month anniversaries of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Overview
nCino is a leading global provider of cloud-based software for financial institutions. We empower banks and credit unions with the technology they need to meet ever-changing client expectations and regulatory requirements, gain increased visibility into their operations and performance, replace legacy systems, and operate digitally and more competitively. Our solution, the nCino Bank Operating System, digitizes, automates, and streamlines inefficient and complex processes and workflow, and utilizes data analytics and artificial intelligence and machine learning ("AI/ML") to enable financial institutions to more effectively onboard new clients, make loans and manage the entire loan life cycle, open deposit and other accounts, and manage regulatory compliance. We serve financial institution customers of all sizes and complexities, including global financial institutions, enterprise banks, regional banks, community banks, credit unions, and new market entrants, such as challenger banks. Our customers deploy and utilize our digital platform, which can be accessed anytime, anywhere, and from any internet-enabled device, for mission critical functions across their organizations.
Built as a single, multi-tenant SaaS platform, the nCino Bank Operating System transforms the way financial institutions operate, go to market, and interact with their clients, while delivering measurable return on investment by enabling them to:
•digitally serve their clients across commercial, small business, and retail lines of business,
•improve financial results,
•operate more efficiently,
•manage risk and compliance more effectively, and
•establish a data, audit, and business intelligence hub.
We were founded in a bank with the goal of improving that institution's operations and client service. Realizing the problems we were addressing were endemic to virtually all banks and credit unions, we were spun out as a separate company in late 2011 with the vision of providing a comprehensive solution to onboard clients, originate any type of loan, and open any type of account on a single cloud-based platform. We initially focused the nCino Bank Operating System on transforming commercial and small business lending for community and regional banks. We introduced our solution to enterprise banks in the United States in 2014, and then internationally in 2017, and have subsequently expanded across North America, Europe, and APAC. In fiscal 2020, we acquired Visible Equity and FinSuite and combined the acquired technology with certain of our internally-developed technology to launch nCino IQ ("nIQ"). nIQ helps our customers improve operational and financial performance by using AI/ML to increase efficiency through automation and analytics to gain greater insights into their operations and client interactions. The state of Delaware effected the name change of Visible Equity to nCino Portfolio Analytics, LLC in April 2021. All Visible Equity references throughout this document are one and the same with the new name change nCino Portfolio Analytics, LLC.
We offer our solution on a SaaS basis under multi-year contracts and recognize subscription revenues ratably over the term of the contract. Our customers may initially purchase our solution for client onboarding, loan origination, and/or deposit account opening for a single line of business or geography. Once this initial solution is in production, we seek to deploy additional applications and expand within and across additional lines of business or geographies. The expansion from our
23
Table of Contents
original focus on commercial and small business loan origination to retail loan origination, client onboarding, deposit account opening, and, most recently, analytics and AI/ML applications, has enhanced our ability to increase adoption of our solution by our customers.
We sell our solution directly through our business development managers, account executives, field sales engineers, and customer success managers. Our sales efforts in the United States are organized around financial institutions based on size, whereas internationally we focus our sales efforts by geography. To drive growth and serve customers in the EMEA region, we continue to expand headcount in our UK office. In fiscal 2020, we opened an office in Tokyo through our joint venture, nCino K.K., giving us another base of operations in APAC in addition to our Australian offices. As of October 31, 2021, we had 174 sales and sales support personnel in the United States, and 76 sales and support personnel in offices outside the United States.
To help customers go live with our solution and achieve success, we offer professional services including configuration and implementation, training and advisory services. For larger financial institutions, we generally work with system integrators ("SIs") such as Accenture, Deloitte, PwC, and West Monroe Partners for the delivery of professional services, while we have historically performed professional services for smaller financial institutions ourselves. We expect larger financial institutions to make up a greater proportion of our sales and to increasingly outsource professional services for smaller banks and credit unions to SIs in the future. As a result, we expect the mix of our total revenues to become more heavily weighted toward subscription revenues.
To support our growth and capitalize on what we believe is a compelling market opportunity, we have significantly increased our operating expenses across all aspects of our business. In research and development, we have focused on product improvements and the development of new functionality, while simultaneously leveraging the Salesforce Platform such that our development is heavily focused on vertical-specific solutions for financial institutions. Similarly, to grow our customer base, we have invested heavily in sales and marketing both in the United States and internationally. We have also increased our general and administrative spending to support our growing operations and for operating as a newly public company.
For the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2021, our total revenues were $54.2 million and $70.0 million, respectively, representing a 29.1% increase, and our subscription revenues were $43.3 million and $57.1 million, respectively, representing a 31.9% increase. Due to our continuing investment in growth, we recorded net losses attributable to nCino of $9.1 million and $13.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2021, our total revenues were $147.7 million and $198.9 million, respectively, representing a 34.7% increase, and our subscription revenues were $117.5 million and $162.1 million, respectively, representing a 38.0% increase. We had net losses attributable to nCino of $28.5 million and $42.3 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Parent, SimpleNexus and certain other parties thereto, with the Company and SimpleNexus surviving as wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent. The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will pay to certain securityholders of SimpleNexus and certain blocker entities a total consideration of approximately $1.2 billion, subject to certain customary adjustments.

Factors Affecting Our Operating Results
Market Adoption of Our Solution. Our future growth depends on our ability to expand our reach to new financial institution customers and increase adoption with existing customers as they broaden their use of the nCino Bank Operating System within and across lines of business. Our success in growing our customer base and expanding adoption of our solution by existing customers requires a focused direct sales engagement and the ability to convince key decision makers at financial institutions to replace legacy third-party point solutions or internally developed software with the nCino Bank Operating System. In addition, growing our customer base will require us to increasingly penetrate markets outside the United States, which markets accounted for 16.7% of total revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2021, and 15.8% for the nine months ended October 31, 2021. For new customers, our sales cycles are typically lengthy, generally ranging from six to nine months for smaller financial institutions to 12 to 18 months or more for larger financial institutions. Reaching and converting potential customers requires that we continue to invest in the growth and success of our sales force both in the United States and internationally. In addition, key to landing new customers is our ability to successfully take our existing customers live and help them achieve measurable returns on their investment, thereby turning them into referenceable accounts. If we are unable to successfully address the foregoing challenges, our ability to grow our business and achieve profitability will be adversely affected, which may in turn reduce the value of our common stock.
Mix of Subscription and Professional Services Revenues.The initial deployment of the nCino Bank Operating System by our customers requires a period of implementation and configuration services that can range from as little as three months for community banks to over 18 months for global financial institutions. As a result, during the initial go-live period for a customer, professional services revenues make up a substantial portion of our revenues from that customer, whereas over time, revenues from established customers are more heavily weighted to subscriptions. While professional services revenues will fluctuate as a percentage of total revenues in the future and tend to be higher in periods of faster growth, over time we expect subscription revenues will make up an increasing proportion of our total revenues as our overall business grows.
COVID-19 Effects on Demand for Our Solution. To help our customers service demand for Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans under the CARES Act beginning in April 2020, we adapted our Small Business Administration loan solution to the requirements of the PPP and rapidly introduced it to the market. Using our PPP solution, since the inception of PPP funding, our financial institution customers have processed hundreds of thousands of applications.

Table of Contents
In light of the extraordinary nature of this market demand, we offered our PPP solution on one- or two-year terms as well as on a multi-year basis co-terminus with existing contracts. Seats for our PPP solution were activated immediately, which caused subscription revenues from these seats to be recognized sooner than is typical with the phased seat activations usually offered to customers. We believe that the emergency purchases of our PPP solution, coupled with the disruptive effect of COVID-19 on the economy more generally, may have the effect of moderating revenue growth rates in fiscal 2022. In addition, our revenue growth rates in fiscal 2023 and our subscription revenue retention rates may be adversely affected upon the expiration of access and use rights to our PPP solution to the extent such rights are not re-purposed for other applications.
Continued Investment in Innovation and Growth. We have made substantial investments in product development, sales and marketing, and strategic acquisitions since our inception to achieve a leadership position in our market and grow our revenues and customer base. We intend to continue to increase our investment in product development in the coming years to maintain and build on this advantage. We also intend to invest heavily in sales and marketing both in the United States and internationally to further grow our business and increase our general and administrative spending to support our growing operations and for operating as a newly public company. As such, to capitalize on the market opportunity we see ahead of us, we expect to continue to optimize our operating plans for revenue growth, and as a result continue experiencing operating losses, for the foreseeable future.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
We derive our revenues from subscription and professional services fees.
Subscription Revenues. Our subscription revenues consist principally of fees from customers for accessing the nCino Bank Operating System and maintenance and support services that we generally offer under non-cancellable multi-year contracts, which typically range from three to five years. Specifically, we offer:
•Client onboarding, loan origination, and deposit account opening applications targeted at a financial institution's commercial, small business, and retail lines of business, for which we generally charge on a per seat basis.
•nIQ, first introduced in fiscal 2020, for which we generally charge based on the asset size of the customer or on a usage basis. Prior to our acquisitions of Visible Equity and FinSuite in fiscal 2020, they generally licensed their products under annual contracts that could be cancelled on 30-days' notice. We will continue to support these customers under their legacy contracts until such contracts are renewed, cancelled, or expire.
•Maintenance and support services as well as internal-use or "sandbox" development licenses, for which we charge as a percentage of the related subscription fees.
Our subscription revenues are generally recognized ratably over the term of the contract beginning upon activation. For new customers, we may activate a portion of seats at inception of the agreement, with the balance activated at contractually specified points in time thereafter, to pattern our invoicing after the customer's expected rate of implementation and adoption. Subscription fees are generally charged annually in advance. Where seats are activated in stages, we charge subscription fees from the date of activation through the anniversary of the initial activation date, and annually thereafter. Maintenance and support fees, as well as development licenses, are provided over the same periods as the related subscriptions, so fees are invoiced and revenues are recognized over the same periods. Subscription fees invoiced are recorded as deferred revenue pending recognition as revenues. In certain cases, we are authorized to resell access to Salesforce's CRM solution along with the nCino Bank Operating System. When we resell such access, we charge a higher subscription price and remit a higher subscription fee to Salesforce for these subscriptions.
Professional Services Revenues. Professional services revenues consist of fees for implementation and configuration assistance, training, and advisory services. For enterprise and larger regional financial institutions, we generally work with SIs to provide the majority of implementation services, for which these SIs bill our customers directly. We have historically delivered professional services ourselves for community banks and smaller credit unions. Revenues for implementation, training, and advisory services are recognized on a proportional performance basis, based on labor hours incurred relative to total budgeted hours. To date, our losses on professional services contracts have not been material. During the initial go-live period for a customer, professional services revenues make up a substantial portion of our revenues from that customer, whereas over time, revenues from established customers are more heavily weighted to subscriptions. While

professional services revenues will fluctuate as a percentage of total revenues in the future and tend to be higher in periods of faster growth, over time we expect to see subscription revenues make up an increasing proportion of our total revenues.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Cost of Subscription Revenues. Cost of subscription revenues primarily consists of fees paid to Salesforce for access to the Salesforce Platform, including Salesforce's hosting infrastructure and data center operations. When we resell access to Salesforce's CRM solution, cost of subscription revenues also includes the subscription fees we remit to Salesforce for providing such access. In addition, cost of subscription revenues includes personnel-related costs associated with delivering maintenance and support services, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, travel and related costs, amortization of acquired developed technology, and allocated overhead. Our subscription gross margin will vary from period to period as a function of the utilization of support personnel and the extent to which we recognize subscription revenues from the resale of Salesforce's CRM solution.
Cost of Professional Services Revenues. Cost of professional services revenues consists primarily of personnel-related costs associated with delivery of these services, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, travel and related costs, and allocated overhead. The cost of providing professional services is significantly higher as a percentage of the related revenues than for our subscription services due to direct labor costs. The cost of professional services revenues has increased in absolute dollars as we have added new customer subscriptions that require professional services and built-out our international professional services capabilities. Realized effective billing and utilization rates drive fluctuations in our professional services gross margin on a period-to-period basis.
Operating Expenses
Sales and Marketing.Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs of our sales and marketing employees, including salaries, sales commissions and incentives, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, travel and related costs. Beginning with fiscal 2020 and the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, we capitalize incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts, primarily consisting of sales commissions, and subsequently amortize these costs over the expected period of benefit, which we have determined to be approximately four years. Sales and marketing expenses also include outside consulting fees, marketing programs, including lead generation, costs of our annual user conference, advertising, trade shows, other event expenses, amortization of acquired customer relationships, and allocated overhead. We expect sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase as we expand our direct sales teams in the United States and internationally to address our market opportunity.
Research and Development.Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation associated with our engineering, product and quality assurance personnel, as well as allocated overhead. Research and development expenses also include the cost of third-party contractors. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We expect research and development costs to continue to increase as we develop new functionality and make improvements to the nCino Bank Operating System.
General and Administrative.General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation associated with our executive, finance, legal, human resources, information technology, compliance and other administrative personnel. General and administrative expenses also include accounting, auditing and legal professional services fees, travel and other corporate-related expenses, and allocated overhead, as well as acquisition-related expenses, which primarily consists of third-party expenses related to announced acquisitions, such as legal professional services fees. We expect that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we scale our business and as we incur costs associated with being a new publicly-traded company, including legal, audit, and consulting fees.
Stock-Based Compensation
We have historically recorded stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options in cost of revenues and operating expenses as the related options vest. Beginning in the quarter ended July 31, 2020, we recorded stock-based compensation expenses associated with RSUs as cost of revenues and operating expenses as a liquidity-based vesting condition was satisfied upon the IPO. Stock-based compensation expense was $5.3 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively, and $19.6 million and $20.5 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. After the IPO, stock-based compensation expense for both stock options and RSUs is recognized as the time-based vesting conditions under such awards are met.

Table of Contents
Our research and development headcount grew by 91 from October 31, 2020 to October 31, 2021. We expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars due to higher headcount as we continue to develop new solutions and further enhance the nCino Bank Operating System.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $3.7 million for the three months ended October 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2020. Personnel costs increased $0.6 million. Excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense that is included in personnel costs, personnel costs increased $1.3 million primarily from additional headcount as we continued to scale our business. Third party professional fees increased $2.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2020, mostly attributable to a $2.0 million increase in fees and expenses related to the Antitrust Matters (defined below) and a $0.9 million increase in acquisition-related expenses for an announced acquisition, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in other professional fees. Allocated overhead and other general and administrative costs increased $0.8 million, which includes an increase in insurance costs associated with being a public company, and an increase in travel-related costs of $0.2 million. Stock-based compensation expense, included in personnel costs, decreased $0.7 million overall due to reversals of stock-based compensation expense as a result of forfeited awards.
General and administrative expenses increased $16.8 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2020. Personnel costs increased $3.4 million. Excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense that is included in personnel costs, personnel costs increased $4.0 million primarily from additional headcount as we continued to scale our business and $0.9 million due to associated employer taxes with the exercises of certain stock-based transactions. Third party professional fees increased $9.6 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2020, mostly attributable to a $8.2 million increase in fees and expenses related to the Antitrust Matters and a $0.9 million increase in acquisition-related expenses for an announced acquisition.

Stock-based compensation expense, included in personnel costs, decreased $0.6 million overall due to reversals of stock-based compensation expense as a result of forfeited awards.
Our general and administrative headcount grew by 26 from October 31, 2020 to October 31, 2021. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars in the near term, primarily due to higher headcount to support our continued growth, fees and expenses related to the Antitrust Matters, and additional expenses for our transition to, and continuing costs of, being a public company.
Effects of COVID-19
COVID-19 began affecting our business in our first quarter fiscal 2021. To date, we have not experienced a material increase in customers' delaying purchase decisions or cancellations nor have we had a material impact from vendors and third-party service providers we rely on. Beginning in mid-March 2020, we implemented a company-wide work-from-home requirement for all of our employees and suspended all work-related travel. We have recently eased some of these restrictions, but substantially all of our employees continue to work remotely and work-related travel remains limited. In addition, we shifted most of our conferences and other marketing events to virtual for the foreseeable future. We expect these restrictions to stay in effect into future periods. To the extent COVID-19 has measurably affected our historical financial results, we have noted such effects in the discussion above. We are aware that there are effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of efficiency, productivity, workforce retention and other matters that are not directly measurable. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments unknown and unpredictable at this time, including the ultimate duration, severity and spread of the pandemic, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccinations, the effects of pandemic on financial institutions generally as well as on our customers, their clients and on our business partners in particular, restrictions on travel and other actions that may be taken by governmental authorities and other factors. For further information, please see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Factors Affecting Our Operating Results-COVID-19 Effects on Demand for Our Solutions" and "Risk Factors-Uncertain or weakened economic conditions, including as a result of COVID-19, may adversely affect our industry, business, and results of operations," included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.

In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, we provide an additional financial metric that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP). Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure helps us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measure.
Accordingly, we believe that this financial measure reflects our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business and provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, and enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects. Although the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may vary from company to company, our detailed presentation may facilitate analysis and comparison of our operating results by management and investors with other peer companies, many of which use a similar non-GAAP financial measure to supplement their GAAP results in their public disclosures. This non-GAAP financial measure is Non-GAAP operating loss, as discussed below.
Non-GAAP operating loss.Non-GAAP operating loss is defined as loss from operations as reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations excluding the impact of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, and expenses related to the government antitrust investigation and related civil action disclosed in Note 12 "Commitments and Contingencies" of Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Antitrust Matters"). Non-GAAP operating loss is widely used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate the profitability of companies. Non-GAAP operating loss eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense). We do not believe acquisition-related expenses for announced acquisitions and fees and expenses related to the Antitrust Matters are indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance and hinder comparability with prior and future performance.
This non-GAAP financial measure does not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations in the use of non-GAAP measures because they do not include all of the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment concerning exclusions of items from the comparable non-GAAP financial measure. In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, or may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
The following table reconciles non-GAAP operating loss to loss from operations, the most directly comparable financial measure, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of October 31, 2021, we had $381.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, and an accumulated deficit of $203.3 million. Our net losses have been driven by our investments in developing the nCino Bank Operating System, expanding our sales and marketing organization, and scaling our finance and administrative functions to support our rapid growth. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.

Table of Contents
To date, we have funded our capital needs through issuances of common stock and collections from our customers. In July 2020, we closed our IPO of 9,269,000 shares of common stock (including shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters' options to purchase additional shares) at a public offering price of $31.00 per share, resulting in aggregate net proceeds to us of $268.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. We generally bill and collect from our customers annually in advance. Our billings are subject to seasonality, with billings in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year substantially higher than in the second and third quarters. Because we recognize revenues ratably, our deferred revenue balance mirrors the seasonality of our billings. In addition, our advanced billing and collection coupled with our recent growth has resulted in our cash used in operating activities generally being less than our net operating losses in recent periods.
We believe that current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts to enhance the nCino Bank Operating System and introduce new applications, market acceptance of our solution, the continued expansion of our sales and marketing activities, investments in office facilities and other capital expenditure requirements, and any potential future acquisitions. We may from time-to-time seek to raise additional capital to support our growth. Any equity financing we may undertake could be dilutive to our existing stockholders, and any debt financing we may undertake could require debt service and financial and operational covenants that could adversely affect our business. There is no assurance we would be able to obtain future financing on acceptable terms or at all. We currently intend to use cash on our balance sheet to fund the cash portion of the merger with SimpleNexus.
nCino K.K.
In fiscal 2020, we established nCino K.K., a Japanese company in which we own a controlling interest, for purposes of facilitating our entry into the Japanese market. We have consolidated the results of operations and financial condition of nCino K.K. since its inception. Pursuant to an agreement with the holders of the non-controlling interest in nCino K.K., beginning in 2027 we may redeem the non-controlling interest, or be required to redeem such interest by the holders thereof, based on a prescribed formula derived from the relative revenues of nCino K.K. and the Company. The balance of the redeemable non-controlling interest is reported on our balance sheet below total liabilities but above stockholders' equity at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the redeemable non-controlling interest's share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its estimated redemption value. As of January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2021, the redeemable non-controlling interest was $3.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
Cash Flows
Summary Cash Flow information for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2021 are set forth below:
Nine Months Ended October 31,
($ in thousands) 2020 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 21,147 $ 1,823
Net cash used in investing activities (3,755) (3,640)
Net cash provided by financing activities 269,710 12,439
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
The $1.8 million provided by operating activities in the nine months ended October 31, 2021 reflects our net loss of $43.5 million, offset by $33.3 million in non-cash charges and $12.0 million generated by changes in working capital accounts. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, amortization of costs capitalized to obtain revenue contracts and non-cash operating lease costs. Cash generated by working capital accounts was principally a function of a $21.6 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $2.7 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities. The cash generated by working capital accounts was partially offset by payments of $5.8 million of capitalized costs to obtain revenue contracts, which consisted primarily of sales commissions, a $3.2 million decrease in deferred revenue, a $1.9 million decrease in operating lease liabilities, and a $1.4 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets.
The $21.1 million provided by operating activities in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 reflects our net loss of $28.8 million, offset by $29.0 million in non-cash charges and $20.9 million generated by changes in working capital accounts. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and amortization

of costs capitalized to obtain revenue contracts. Cash generated by working capital accounts was principally a function of a $17.7 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $11.4 million increase in our deferred revenue, as we expanded our customer base and renewed existing customers. The cash generated by working capital accounts was partially offset by payments of $4.5 million of capitalized costs to obtain revenue contracts, which consisted primarily of sales commissions, a $2.7 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, a $0.9 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities, and a $0.1 million decrease in deferred rent.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
We used $3.6 million and $3.8 million in investing activities in the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for the purchase of property and equipment and leasehold improvements to support the expansion of our business.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
The $12.4 million provided by financing activities in the nine months ended October 31, 2021 was comprised principally of $12.6 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. The cash provided by financing activities was partially reduced by principal payments of $0.2 million on financing obligations. The $269.7 million provided by financing activities in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 was comprised principally of $268.4 million in proceeds from the IPO in July 2020, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, and $3.8 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. The cash provided by financing activities was partially reduced by payments of $2.5 million in costs related to the IPO.

For additional discussion on our leases, financing obligations and other contractual commitments, see Note 11 "Leases", Note 12 "Commitments and Contingencies", and Note 15 "Subsequent Event" of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be significant.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies or estimates as compared to those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (1) are no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Based on the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates as of July 31, 2021, we will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company as of January 31, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
At October 31, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $381.4 million, which consisted primarily of bank deposits and money market accounts. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. However, our historical interest income has not fluctuated significantly. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have had a material impact on our financial results included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of each of our subsidiaries is its local currency. The assets and liabilities of each of our subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the relevant period. Equity transactions are translated using historical exchange rates. Decreases in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies may negatively affect revenues and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency translation adjustments are accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity. Gains or losses due to transactions in foreign currencies are included in "Non-operating income (expense), Other" in our consolidated statements of operations. Furthermore, our customers outside of the United States typically pay us in local currency. We have not engaged in hedging of foreign currency transactions to date, although we may choose to do so in the future. We do not believe that an immediate 10% increase or decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies would have a material effect on operating results or financial condition.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management,
36
Table of Contents
with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at October 31, 2021, the last day of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, at October 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and our management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See Note 12 "Commitments and Contingencies" of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding certain legal proceedings in which we are involved, which is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are no material changes to the risk factors in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 under the heading "Risk Factors." You should consider and read carefully these risks, as well as other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock. Those risks are not the only ones we face. The occurrence of any of those risks or additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operation. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Use of Proceeds from our IPO
On July 16, 2020, we completed our IPO, selling 9,269,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $31.00 per share (including shares subject to the underwriters' over-allotment option) for an aggregate price of $287.3 million. The offer and sale of the shares in the IPO was registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-239335 and 333-239844), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 13, 2020. We raised approximately $268.4 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $18.9 million.
There has been no material change in the planned use of the IPO proceeds as described in our final prospectus for the IPO dated July 13, 2020 and filed with the SEC on July 14, 2020, pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act.
