ServiceNow10-Q: Cash flow concern

Operating cash flow decreased by $136M YoY due to costs from recent business combinations.

What happened

ServiceNow's operating cash flow for the first half of 2026 declined to $2.26B from $2.39B a year prior, a drop explicitly attributed to higher costs related to its M&A activity. This pressure on operating cash could drive new initiatives to optimize spending and improve post-merger operational efficiency.
