In Q1 FY26, revenue reached $357M, ARR rose 12% to $1.693B, and non-GAAP operating income was $70M (20% margin).

Estimates Snapshot (Wall Street consensus)
- Current Qtr (Q2 FY26, Jul): Revenue $347.34M, EPS $0.08
- Next Qtr (Q3 FY26, Oct): Revenue $384.59M, EPS $0.12

Key Areas to Watch
-
Agentic ramp & monetization. Early adoption of Agent Builder and Maestro (consumption-based SKU) is promising; management doesn’t expect a material FY26 revenue contribution, so pilot-to-production cadence is key.
-
Partner ecosystem & vertical solutions. New bidirectional integration with Microsoft Copilot Studio and LangChain support expand enterprise use cases; health-care summarization with Google Cloud showcases targeted vertical AI.
-
Customer/ARR quality. 10,750 customers; 2,365 at $100k+ ARR; DBNR 108%, gross retention 97%, and RPO up double-digits — watch if these sustain into H2.
-
Guidance discipline & profitability. Q2 guide: $345–$350M revenue, ~$40M non-GAAP op income; FY26 non-GAAP op income ~$305M. Any mix- or investment-driven deviation matters.
-
Enterprise & public sector traction. Competitive wins (e.g., Delta displacement) and U.S. Air Force “Agentic Airmen” initiative frame large-scale deployment potential.
