Summary

Revenue of $11.3 billion grew 11% year-over-year with Informatica contributing $456 million, while GAAP diluted EPS of $4.29 and non-GAAP EPS of $5.90 both roughly doubled and cash flow grew far faster than revenue. The forward book is the more interesting line: cRPO of $33.5 billion accelerated to 14% growth, and management pointed to Agentforce and Data 360 ARR of nearly $3.9 billion as the reason. The guidance raise is smaller than it looks — of the $200 million increase, $200 million comes from the pending Contentful and Fin deals and only $100 million is organic, against a $100 million FX headwind.

The company raised full-year FY27 revenue guidance to $46.1-$46.4 billion, but the $200 million raise is mostly acquisition-driven: only $100 million is organic, offset by a $100 million FX headwind. show quote

“Raises full year FY27 revenue guidance, now expects full year FY27 revenue of $46.1 billion to $46.4 billion, up 11% - 12% Y/Y and 11% in CC, including slightly above 3pts Informatica contribution. The $200M raise, $300 million CC, reflects $100 million of organic growth, $200 million from the pending Contentful and Fin acquisitions, and $100M FX headwind”
