Sprout Social, Inc. reported a total revenue of $121.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, marking an 11% increase from $109.3 million in the same period of the previous year. The growth was primarily driven by a rise in subscription revenue, which accounted for 99% of total revenue, increasing from $108.7 million to $120 million year-over-year. The company also reported a net loss of $6.3 million, a significant improvement compared to the net loss of $11.2 million recorded in the first quarter of 2025. This reduction in losses was attributed to a combination of increased revenue and controlled operating expenses.
In terms of operational metrics, Sprout Social saw an increase in its customer base contributing $30,000 or more in annual recurring revenue (ARR), which grew by 12% to 3,875 customers. Additionally, the number of customers contributing $50,000 or more in ARR rose by 18% to 2,085. However, the overall customer count decreased, reflecting a strategic focus on larger enterprise clients, which typically involve longer sales cycles and increased pricing pressures. The company continues to invest in its product offerings and customer success initiatives to drive further growth.
The company’s total operating expenses for the quarter were $99.4 million, up from $95.7 million in the prior year, with research and development expenses increasing by 16% to $26.9 million. This increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs associated with expanding the R&D team. Sales and marketing expenses rose modestly by 2% to $48.5 million, while general and administrative expenses decreased by 4% to $23.9 million, reflecting improved operational efficiencies.
Sprout Social's balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, showed total assets of $508.6 million, down from $523.1 million at the end of 2025. The company had cash and cash equivalents of $111.6 million, an increase from $95.3 million at the end of the previous year. The company also reported a total liability of $293.4 million, which included $32.5 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility. Looking ahead, Sprout Social anticipates continued investment in growth initiatives, which may lead to further operating losses in the near term, but remains optimistic about its long-term financial performance and market position.
