Performance Highlights from Q1 2025

• Revenue: YTD total revenue growth at 39% y/y, US Commercial segment growth accelerated to 71% y/y (excluding seasonal factors).
• Margins: Non-GAAP operating margin improved to 44% (beat Street estimates), free cash flow margin reached ~43.5%.
• Customer Growth: 769 FY24 customers, indicating 58 net additions.
• AIP Demand: Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) driving expansion in both new customer conversions and existing accounts.
• Sequential RPO Growth: Total RPO of $1.90 billion, 46% y/y growth, with $170M added in Q1.

Outlook and Projections

• CY25 Revenue Forecast: Raised 6x from Q1 beat, implying 36% y/y growth versus 29% in CY24.
• US Commercial Growth: Expected >68% y/y in CY25 (up from >54% in CY24).
• Profitability: Adjusted operating margin projected at 44%, up from 41-42% previously.
• Revenue Visibility: Concerns over quarterly bookings lumpiness and limited visibility for CY25.

Risks and Concerns

• Valuation: Market cap at $316.0B, trading at 56x CY26E revenue, deemed irrational by analysts; DCF suggests a 19x multiple for CY28E to justify current price under base case.
• GTM Strategy: Reliance on serviced-led sales model limits growth momentum; reluctance to invest in enterprise sales force.
• Government Exposure: 55% revenue mix tied to US government (42% US government sub-segment), vulnerable to budget cuts.
• International Risks: European tech/AI adoption lagging; Q1 international revenue declined 5% y/y.
• International Demand: Europe represents ~11% of revenue, with continued headwinds.

Valuation Analysis

• Price target of $60 implies 29x CY26E revenue multiple.
• DCF scenario: To maintain current price under 50% 4-year CAGR, stock must trade at 19x CY28E revenue.
• Upside/downside risks: Faster AIP monetization or commercial momentum could support price, but valuation sensitivity is high.

Key Implications
Maintain Underperform rating due to elevated valuation and execution risks, despite strong recent results and improving fundamentals. Analysts advise monitoring government budget trends and GTM model evolution.
