Bill McDermott

ServiceNow’s first quarter performance beat the high end of our guidance once again. Since our founding, we’ve built our platform around the work customers need to accomplish. Today, they rely on ServiceNow to be their AI control tower for business reinvention. Customers trust our platform because we integrate with any model, cloud, interface, data, and system they choose to deploy. As new technologies create both opportunity and risk, our two decades of engineering combined with deep business context enable us to orchestrate and secure the agentic enterprise. With this foundation, our AI growth is far exceeding even our own expectations, reinforcing our position as one of the fastest growing enterprise software companies ever.

Gina Mastantuono

In Q1, we exceeded the high end of our topline and profitability guidance metrics, grew free cash flow, and returned capital to shareholders. The early close of our Armis acquisition meaningfully expands our TAM and accelerates our subscription revenue growth trajectory. With agentic AI, workflow orchestration, security, and data fabric converging on a single platform, we believe the most compelling chapter in ServiceNow's growth story is just beginning.
