What People Are Saying About Navan

  • Strong Revenue Growth: Revenue grew 31% to $702M in FY2026, then accelerated to 40% year over year in Q1 FY2027, with full‑year FY2027 revenue outlook raised to roughly 30% growth. Momentum is reinforced by expanding enterprise adoption and integrations that support usage growth.
  • Profitability: FY2026 marked the first full year with positive non‑GAAP operating income alongside positive operating and free cash flow, and Q1 FY2027 non‑GAAP operating margin reached 11%. These milestones indicate improving operating leverage as scale increases.
  • Cost & Operational Efficiency: AI agent automation (e.g., Ava handling about 52% of interactions in FY2026) is underpinning service scalability and margin expansion. Further increases in AI‑handled interactions are expected to support additional efficiency gains.
