Gloo Holdings, Inc. Revenue Disclosure
Contract Assets, Deferred Revenue and Remaining Performance Obligations
For transactions in which payment has been received and there is an outstanding performance obligation, the associated revenue is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized once such obligation is fulfilled. During the year ended January 31, 2026, the Company acquired contract assets of $2.2 million in connection with acquisitions. During the year ended January 31, 2026, $2.2 million of contract assets that were acquired during the period were transferred to accounts receivable. The Company did not have any contract assets as of January 31, 2025.
During the year ended January 31, 2026, the Company assumed deferred revenue liabilities of $7.7 million in connection with acquisitions and recognized $4.0 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balances as of January 31, 2025. During the year ended January 31, 2025, the Company recognized $0.2 million of revenue that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period.
As of January 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was approximately $18.7 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately $14.2 million of the remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months, which primarily relates to platform solutions performance obligations. The remaining balance of approximately $4.5 million relates primarily to subscription contracts and is expected to be recognized as revenue primarily over the next 36 months. These amounts represent Management’s estimates of revenue expected to be recognized in future periods and are subject to change, including as a result of contract modifications, terminations, or changes in scope.
Significant Payment Terms
The Company enters into contracts that are typically one year in length or less with payments required up front on either an annual or monthly basis. The Company has applied the practical expedient to not adjust the consideration for the effects of a significant financing component because the period between the transfer of the promised service and the payment is one year or less. For contracts that extend beyond 12 months, the Company delivers its services once it receives up-front payment, thus not meeting the definition of a significant financing component.
In most cases, contracts are non-cancelable, and consideration paid for services that customers purchase from the Company is non-refundable. Therefore, at the time revenue is recognized, the Company does not estimate expected refunds for services, nor does the Company exclude any such amounts from revenue.
Costs to Obtain Revenue Contracts
As a practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts, such as sales commissions, as expenses when incurred if the amortization period is one year or less.
About Revenue Disclosures
Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.
Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
