William R. McDermottChair and Chief Government Officer

Thanks very a lot, Darren. Good afternoon, everybody. I actually respect you becoming a member of right now. There’s loads to cowl on this newest beat and lift report.

I will give attention to 5 highly effective tailwinds that underscore our robust confidence in ServiceNow’s development trajectory. The primary is elite stage execution. With our Q3 outcomes, we’ve got demonstrated as soon as once more ServiceNow’s robust execution. We outperformed all prime line and profitability metrics.

Subscription income development was 22.5% at fixed forex, 200 foundation factors above the excessive finish of our steerage. cRPO was 23.5% at fixed forex, 150 foundation factors above our steerage. Working margin was over 31%, greater than 150 foundation factors above our steerage. We had 96 offers higher than $1 million in web new ACV.

We landed our second largest new emblem deal ever and our second buyer crossed the $100 million mark in complete ACV. Buyer adoption of ServiceNow’s platform continues to maneuver throughout the enterprise finish to finish. For CIOs and their tech groups, ITSM and ITOM had been every in at the very least 15 of our High 20 offers with double-digit offers over $1 million. It is also value noting that IT asset administration was in all of our High 20 offers and Q3 was one other robust efficiency for Safety and Danger as they mixed for 14 of the High 20 offers with 11 offers that had been over $1 million.

As we see extra alternative to disrupt the entrance workplace, buyer workflows had an excellent Q3 with 15 of the High 20 offers and 17 offers over $1 million. Worker workflows had been in 13 of the High 20 with 9 offers over $1 million and artistic workflow was robust once more in 17 of the High 20 with 13 offers over $1 million. Here is the headline. Many corporations have struggled to execute in what has been a posh macro surroundings.

ServiceNow has delivered constantly past the Rule of fifty. We’re the benchmark for elite stage execution. The second tailwind behind ServiceNow’s success is our rising strategic relevance. For years, we have been speaking concerning the mess of the twentieth century enterprise techniques.

Organizations around the globe wanted a platform to assist them clear up that mess, to allow them to modernize for the AI world, ServiceNow is that chosen strategic platforms. And we combine with all these different techniques, orchestrate the silos into fashionable workflows and create a constant consumer-grade person expertise. It is vital to know the historical past right here. When public cloud options got here on-line because the final secular shift within the enterprise, they created sprawling governance challenges.

CIOs on the path of their CEOs had been requested to get issues beneath management, the fee, safety and integration. And ServiceNow performed that function. Now the C-suite is trying to ServiceNow to forestall one other mess with AI. We do see the danger that each vendor’s bots and brokers will scatter like hornets fleeing the nest and so they belief ServiceNow because the governance management tower, which is a privileged place for our platform.

This brings me to the third momentum driver. ServiceNow has emerged because the AI platform for enterprise transformation. The secular shift to AI is validated and is unfolding in actual time. With Now Help we’ve got 44 clients spending greater than $1 million in ACV, together with six over $5 million and two over $10 million, and this continues to be our fastest-growing product ever and an accelerant to our cross-enterprise growth.

In Q3, we introduced our largest gen AI launch up to now, Xanadu. This included over 350 web new improvements delivered via 5 million-plus engineering hours. Xanadu has supercharged Now Help with analytics era, customized abilities growth, Microsoft CoPilot integration and extra. Xanadu expanded trade vertical AI-powered automation for telco, tech, public sector, banking, insurance coverage and manufacturing.

We launched Now Help with safety, procurement and an built-in growth resolution for software program engineers. Xanadu showcased ServiceNow’s management with a agentic AI. And till now, generative AI and the enterprise requires human prompts to provoke motion. We’re now deploying autonomous AI brokers that work with folks, not only for them.

Utilizing ServiceNow single structure platform and cross enterprise knowledge, ServiceNow AI brokers can uniquely advance past prompt-based exercise to deep contextual comprehension. That is like hiring a further workforce to assist folks by doing the roles they’ve by no means wished to do within the first place. We intend to be the management level that governs the deployment of agentic AI throughout the enterprise. As this AI innovation on ServiceNow contributes to what IDC says will likely be an almost $20 trillion international impression by 2030.

Meaning each $1 spent on AI options and providers will generate practically $5 in worth to the worldwide financial system. That is why IDC additionally forecast companies will spend greater than $0.5 trillion on AI in 2027 alone. So once you mix an enormous once-in-a-generation technological shift with a platform that’s engineered to steer the transformation ServiceNow’s momentum is the outcome. The fourth issue is our rising model consciousness and addressable market.

We introduced an expanded strategic alliance with Zoom to combine our Gen AI applied sciences, and we’re simply getting began.

In truth, right now, we unveiled a sequence of highly effective new development initiatives. Our partnership with NVIDIA has been a recreation changer for enterprises embracing AI. We’re taking that to the following stage by co-creating a shared imaginative and prescient on agentic AI. Collectively, NVIDIA and ServiceNow are creating out-of-the-box use circumstances for AI brokers on the Now platform utilizing NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints.

Clients merely activate these capabilities and begin reinventing workflows throughout the enterprise for small single concern resolutions, all the way in which to whole incident response workflows.

Clients, together with Amadeus, are already within the means of implementing RaptorDB, to supercharge processing speeds throughout their international techniques.

And that is actually a testomony to the truth that our clients are leaning in rather more strategically with us and never solely our portfolio of merchandise getting bigger and the deal dimension is getting bigger, however the contract phrases are getting longer and longer. And that is actually what’s driving that unimaginable RPO development.

We’ve actually robust cRPO, however that RPO development when our common contract phrases proceed to maneuver up is why you see that persevering with to strengthen quarter after quarter and that is testomony to the incremental strategic relevance that we’ve got with our clients. And so, actually pleased with all the outcomes that execution elite stage throughout the board, and that is displaying not solely in our revenues and our cRPO, however our RPO quantity, which is a very robust long-term measure of the well being of our enterprise.

William R. McDermottChair and Chief Government Officer

And I’ll discuss this wonderful workflow knowledge cloth. So consider it this fashion by way of the monetization of it. RaptorDB, the Professional model delivers monumental worth for our clients. So take into consideration bettering transaction instances by as much as 53% and operating experiences and analytics 27 instances quicker and take into consideration bringing next-generation efficiency and scale to ServiceNow clients, so the efficiency, the pace, the dimensions.

As we get larger, the shopper installs get larger. Gina talked about all of the cohorts, the platform shopping for. That is fairly an interesting factor to see. Then take into consideration enabling enterprises to unify disparate knowledge after which apply the facility of the Now AI platform for enterprise transformation to drive productiveness, enhance operations and pace of execution.

So all of that is driving efficiency for the shopper. And the migrations take hours, not days or even weeks, and we’ve got really perfected that. So that is going to be an upsell alternative for each current set up the world over for ServiceNow. And to get that enhanced profit, there will likely be items of it that individuals will spend money on, however will probably be nicely value it for the advantages that they are going to get from it.

And this will likely be an ongoing story as we proceed to construct it out. However keep in mind one factor, it is fairly distinctive to have the ability to entry any knowledge whatever the supply, whether or not it is structured or unstructured and to compose {that a} knowledge platform that completely coincides with the work, the way it flows and what you are attempting to automate on one widespread pane of glass. No different firm on the planet might try this. And we imagine that that can give us a really thrilling place for future development, and we’re tremendous excited.

And we’re rolling it out now in This fall, and we have already got nice corporations like Amadeus which have adopted RaptorDB and we’re relying on tons of extra.

Our subsequent query comes from the road of Keith Weiss with Morgan Stanley. Please go forward.

Keith WeissAnalyst

Wonderful. Thanks guys for taking the query, and congratulations on an excellent quarter. One query for Gina, one query for Invoice. Gina, final quarter, you talked to us about 200 foundation factors of length headwind that got here from the robust federal enterprise final yr.

Given that you just had such a robust federal quarter this yr. I am assuming these length — or headwinds do not exist in Q3. So is that appropriate that you do not have that length headwind in Q3? After which, the query for Invoice. Brokers type of got here on to the scene in a very large means during the last couple of months.

You guys have your new agent resolution as nicely. Lots of people are speaking about brokers. Does that change just like the gross sales cycle in any respect about if we’re like Now Help within the Professional Plus SKU now that there is this new type of know-how persons are speaking about by way of the brokers? Or does it simply type of circulate naturally into the dialog?

William R. McDermottChair and Chief Government Officer

Thanks very a lot, Keith. It flows naturally. It is one more development within the ServiceNow innovation story. And I feel it does, should you’re not but a ServiceNow buyer otherwise you’re fascinated by Now Help, it additional cements your resolve that ServiceNow is considered one of perhaps a handful of platforms that corporations are going to wager on for the long run.

So not disruptive, completely complementary and one more upsell alternative, and we intend to do very nicely with it. And I feel lots of people will profit from ServiceNow brokers working along with one another and with people to proactively and predictively resolve nearly any activity you’ll be able to probably consider. And these partnerships that we have established with nice corporations like NVIDIA and constructing market-making options, for instance, taking over a few of the enterprise safety challenges which have existed on the market for years and years on an out-of-the-box kind resolution, I feel, it’s actually fairly breathtaking. And at an architectural stage, we do not have to attempt to translate between our Gen AI fashions and a few third-party system, which most individuals need to since every part is on one platform with one structure and one knowledge mannequin, so this has given us a possibility to innovate quicker, but in addition combine higher.

As I stated many instances, 85% of digital transformation ROI by no means got here to for our clients as a result of they could not combine these previous techniques. Now every part integrates into one platform, and also you turbocharge it with Now Help in a Agentic AI and also you’re off to the races.

Gina M. MastantuonoChief Monetary Officer

After which, Keith, in your query on length for cRPO from Fed. The combo we had one other nice quarter beat expectations from our perspective, however the combine hasn’t modified considerably. So Q3, that length positively goes away as Fed type of reups, however then, you will note continued headwind quarter over quarter in Q1, Q2 till we get again to Q3 of subsequent yr. Does that make sense?

Keith WeissAnalyst

Yeah, so like on the duration-adjusted foundation, Q2 was stronger than what was reported in Q3 did not actually have a length headwind, however that length headwind goes to come back again into the numbers as we undergo the yr and get additional away from the federal quarter.

Gina M. MastantuonoChief Monetary Officer

That is precisely appropriate.

Keith WeissAnalyst

OK. Good.

Our subsequent query comes from the road of Brad Sills with Financial institution of America. Please go forward.

Brad SillsAnalyst

Nice. Thanks a lot. A query on headcount right here as nicely. It is fairly exceptional actually because the starting of final yr that you just’re beginning to see R&D headcount outpace gross sales and advertising, traditionally, that was the alternative, and it regarded fairly important right here by nearly 2:1 ratio there.

So I suppose, the query is, what does that say concerning the enterprise? Is the gating issue to development right here actually nearly your capacity to get out extra product in classes like AI and a few of these newer software classes that you are going after with the platform and fewer so about hiring the following rep to go win new enterprise and go discover that larger growth deal. Thanks.

Gina M. MastantuonoChief Monetary Officer

Yeah, I might say, it is a few issues, proper? So gross sales and advertising, there’s a whole lot of stuff in there, proper? So it isn’t solely quota bearing gross sales. So simply since you noticed complete gross sales and advertising not rising as quick as R&D, it does not imply that we weren’t rising our toes on the road quarter-bearing gross sales at a very robust means. There’s a number of advertising and gross sales operations headcount that we had been build up as we had been scaling that now we’re not rising on the similar stage. So I need to be clear, and I’ve stated this every quarter simply because it regarded like gross sales and advertising headcount was just a little bit lighter.

That is the leverage as we’re scaling, particularly on the operational aspect of issues. With respect to R&D headcount, it has been fairly constant. It is at all times been an space of big focus for us. And definitely, within the age of AI and all the innovation that our unimaginable engineering group has been targeted on that has constantly been a spot the place we’ve got invested and we’ll proceed to take a position.

And so, from our perspective, headcount development is at all times, at the beginning, allotted to unimaginable engineering R&D expertise, in addition to feed on the road quota-bearing gross sales hitting the highway, hitting the streets, working with our clients to resolve their largest issues and you may proceed to see us do exactly that.

However I am certain you are conscious, there’s been a debate during the last two to 3 months concerning the federal enterprise, partly due to the problems that you just Gina raised with us three months in the past that led to the management adjustments, but in addition within the interim the place there’s been points with considered one of your companions at Carahsoft.

Positive, Karl. We did not see any impression in Q3, and we’re presently not concerned in any points relating to Carahsoft with the U.S. federal enterprise. So you must simply take that one off of any concern checklist that you just may need and as I have a look at the enterprise in Fed, it couldn’t probably be stronger.

The web new ACV development is implausible. We had 5 offers higher than $5 million, a few offers over $20 million, and ServiceNow has turn into the usual platform for federal companies as they’re trying to consolidate contracts and standardize on a single vendor to drive digital transformation. That is the bandwidth that is constructed into this platform. In order I take into consideration the place we’re going now, Gen AI is prime of thoughts.

I do know as a result of I have been there with the U.S. federal authorities companies, they’re searching for effectivity positive factors, and so they know our software program platform does it. In addition they know the implementations are stellar and the referenceability is implausible. And so, I feel getting issues finished shortly, which is considered one of our cooling playing cards, giving folks nice experiences that actually make them glad and extra productive, it is all working for us.

And I am very, very enthusiastic about our Gen AI SKUs for our authorities Group Cloud. As you already know, that went typically out there lately, it was really in June, and we noticed nice traction on it with federal, and we partnered with Accenture as a matter of truth, to kick off a 60-day pilot with one company and so they ended it early to get into the Gen AI race as a result of it really works so nicely.

All proper. Thanks very a lot for taking the query. So the expansion for Now Help and Professional Plus has, clearly, been extremely spectacular. However we have additionally been listening to about an actual uptick in clients selecting to improve from Normal to Professional as an intermediate step towards Gen AI adoption and clearly, that driving ARPU uplift as nicely.

So Invoice, once you look throughout your put in base, is that one thing you are seeing fairly a bit extra of right now as in contrast with three, six, 9 months in the past to the purpose the place you’d anticipate a second wave with these set of shoppers going ahead?

William R. McDermottChair and Chief Government Officer

Once you now add the Now Help and the premium on prime of that, clients do not even blink as a result of the returns to them are a lot higher than any pricing. And we’re a very reasonable firm in the way in which we do issues, and it is extremely clear.

I see a plus up with that. I see a plus up with RaptorDB globally as a result of it is such a sensation. Folks see the clock pace of how the system runs on it, all of them need it. And Paul is now rolling that out globally in This fall.

We’ll see the way it goes, however we’re extremely optimistic, nice engineering constructed into it wonderful.

Thanks. Invoice, actually thrilling to see this subsequent new chapter of AI with autonomous brokers. Simply wished to type of contact on like what know-how is coming to market to energy these agentic networks. It sounds prefer it’s know-how from RaptorDB, Information Cloth, zero-copy integration, perhaps NVIDIA’s NIM developments with varied LOMs.

However might you simply type of share the highlights on what is essential to unlocking these new autonomous capabilities on the ServiceNow platform and when a few of these capabilities are going to be are available in GA?

William R. McDermottChair and Chief Government Officer

Yeah, certain. Effectively, to start with, I feel there’s actually three areas that I’d spotlight for you which are my High 3, if that helps, simply put this into some context. The Gen AI race is one which we’re profitable, first mover, and we intend to run the desk. So Now Help is the feeling and Gen AI on the Now Platform due to the individuality of this platform, and its perfection in the way in which it was engineered and the truth that we by no means took any shortcuts, and we at all times protected the only platform with the only structure, the only CMDB it truly is magnificent.

Now, you set RaptorDB. So Now Help is Precedence 1, you set RaptorDB and also you construct out the workflow knowledge platform, once more, if that workflow knowledge platform, which is already in flight connects to the workflow automation platform, what buyer would not need to hook up with any knowledge supply of their enterprise, constructure or unstructured knowledge, to drive their workflow efficiency to get a enterprise end result. I actually could not decide one out of a lineup. After which, you say, what else are you going to do? And it is actually the entrance workplace, every part else continues to be going full tempo, however the entrance workplace is getting a step perform enhance by way of its focus and the innovation and the execution as a result of it is the most important TAM and since we’re profitable in every single place we go, we expect that that may be like a serious catalyst.

And by way of when the product is coming, they’re out. So you bought Now Help in full flight, you have bought RaptorDB in full flight, This fall will likely be an enormous quarter for that. You bought the workflow knowledge platform, which I defined, which works now, and it’ll proceed to evolve and be an enormous a part of our future and you’ve got the entrance workplace the place wins are occurring day-after-day, and we’re superbly led there, and we have got wonderful desires after which take all of the core stuff with the upsells and the cross-sells and the cohorts that Gina talked about, and it is simply a lot in entrance of us, we really feel like a scale firm with the guts of a start-up. And that is type of movement that is operating via ServiceNow now.

And tomorrow, once we get to ServiceNow Reside, which is an iconic cultural occasion that we do each quarter, I might simply think about the seats are going to be rumbling everywhere in the world.

Thanks for squeezing me in and congrats from me as nicely. Invoice, you talked about a whole lot of like C-level executives, how do they give thought to like AI as we go into subsequent yr by way of — is that like popping out of the IT price range? Did you do a second price range? And the way do you just remember to type of proceed to achieve share in that one? Simply type of discuss us via the dynamic you are seeing in your conversations. Thanks.

William R. McDermottChair and Chief Government Officer

Yeah, I feel the excellent news — the actually excellent news right here, Raimo, is IT budgets proceed to develop. So the digital technique has been and can proceed to be the enterprise technique. And we actually work onerous on finding out the world round us. And Gartner expects international IT spending to develop nearly 10.5% subsequent yr.

And that is double what it was in 2023. And it expects software program to develop at 15%. And the secular tailwinds at Gen AI and workflow automation are clear C-suite priorities, and we are the best-positioned to make the most of the chance. So I feel it is clear to me that clients targeted on digital transformation throughout the IT price range.

It is rising. We’re getting extra share as a result of clearly, we’re gaining share as a result of we’re rising quicker than markets, particularly the customer support administration market, which I talked about, and we’re gaining share. However I additionally suppose there’s new share to be gained from extra funding, and I actually imagine once I discuss to the CEOs, IT is clearly their enterprise focus inside IT Gen AI is their No. 1 focus.

And they’re going to get the cash from someplace. And in the event that they need to take it out of one other line merchandise to gasoline this, they are going to. So on prime of IT, I feel there will likely be cash coming from different departments, particularly again workplace capabilities that will likely be put to the entrance of the road round Gen AI. And I additionally see a consolidation impact happening.

Folks say to me, the place is the brand new cash coming from? We had one firm lately that mainly took ServiceNow by consolidating 250-point options that the sunshine was so dim on, it actually gave you a headache, however there’s tons of and tons of of accounts like that everywhere in the world that simply want to essentially take into consideration what they need for his or her future. And the long run is now. So N-O-W, no pun meant. However I feel that every one of that’s goodness for ServiceNow.

IT, different line merchandise budgets coming in, and naturally, the consolidation to a premier companion — a premier platform like this By the way, the companion ecosystem is grabbing on to ServiceNow in a means that I’ve by no means seen earlier than, and it is accelerating shortly. And we simply bought finished with a board assembly the place our group offered a few of these dynamics and the growth of the channels and the way the channels are actually leaning in and constructing on prime of and round ServiceNow in methods they by no means did earlier than. And I simply suppose all that claims development.

We want an absolute thought chief that loves product, loves working with nice engineers, construct comradery with the most effective engineering group within the enterprise, which we’ve got and invent new development shoots and new alternatives by seeing issues via a broad lens, which he has from all of his experiences.
