For the second quarter of 2026, ACV is expected to range from $19 million to $23 million, exclusive of contribution ACV, compared to $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, which included $5.0 million of contribution ACV. As of May 5, 2026, Schrodinger maintained its previously issued financial guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026: ACV is expected to range from $218 million to $228 million, representing 10-15% growth over 2025. Drug discovery revenue is expected to range from $55 million to $65 million. Operating expenses are expected to be less than 2025.

Reports Q1 revenue $58.6M, consensus $47.6M. "Our first quarter results show strong growth in both ACV and drug discovery revenue. ACV growth of 12 percent was driven by usage scale-ups and new deployments; we are also pleased with our progress transitioning customers to hosted licensing. The biopharmaceutical funding environment is improving, and the depth of customer engagement reflects the critical importance of our computational platform that integrates ground truth simulation with leading edge AI. We have a strong commitment to technology leadership and are excited about the release this summer of Bunsen, an agentic AI co-scientist designed to autonomously execute complex molecular discovery workflows and expand utilization to a broader user base," said Ramy Farid, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Schrodinger. "We also continue to see the impact of our platform through the success of our co-founded companies. Lilly's announced acquisition of Ajax Therapeutics, in which we have an approximately six percent equity stake, marks another multi-billion dollar acquisition of a Schrodinger co-discovered molecule. This milestone reinforces the strength of our platform, team and integrated business model."
