Record net additions among large customers: Customers with over $100,000 in annual contract value surpassed 1,800
Subscription-driven sales climbed 18% YoY, anchoring growth. Operating cash flow reached $132 million, and adjusted free cash flow came in at $143 million, supporting solid cash generation.
Shortcomings
GAAP losses persist: Operating loss of $24 million, GAAP net loss per share of $0.16

Monthly cloud revenue growth came in at just 1%, casting a shadow over the quality of cloud expansion. Net expansion rate of around 111% sits apart from large-customer growth and points to the task of further accelerating expansion within the existing customer base.
What Management Said
CEO Ash Kulkarni noted that the company exceeded its guidance across all key metrics and started the fiscal year on a strong footing. The market, which views artificial intelligence as reshaping enterprise technology stacks and sustaining demand for search, observability, and security, read this confidence as a positive catalyst.
Market Reaction and What to Watch Next
Beating revenue and earnings estimates, combined with RPO growth and large-customer net additions, reinforced the interpretation that demand has not broken, driving after-hours buying momentum.
