Financial Highlights

Revenue Growth: Q3 revenue grew 63% YoY, up from 48% YoY in Q2, exceeding the top end of guidance by 9% and consensus by 6%. Management called it: “These are arguably the best results any software company has ever delivered.”

Government Revenue: +55% YoY (vs. +49% in Q2). U.S. Government: +52% YoY (vs. +53% in Q2, slightly slower). Non-U.S. Government: +66% YoY (vs. +37% in Q2, sharply higher). The muted growth in U.S. Government revenue likely reflected the temporary government shutdown, which delayed implementation in civilian departments. This will require further information and close monitoring in coming months.

Commercial Revenue: +72% YoY (vs. +47% in Q2). U.S. Commercial: +121% YoY (vs. +93%), exceptionally strong. Non-U.S. Commercial: +9% YoY (vs. –3%), indicating some recovery, though management noted Europe remains weak overall.
