Analysis · TWLO · Technology
A strong second quarter saw Twilio deliver revenue of $1.5 billion, up 22% on a reported basis and 17% organically—an acceleration from prior quarters. Profitability surged as GAAP operating income more than doubled to $85 million, while non-GAAP operating income rose 29% to $285 million. Free cash flow hit $353 million, a 24% increase. The company raised its full-year 2026 guidance across the board, now expecting 18%-18.5% revenue growth and $1.135-$1.155 billion in both non-GAAP operating income and free cash flow. The Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate jumped to 116% from 108% a year ago, signaling that existing customers are spending significantly more.
