| Now, while we're not giving fiscal year '25 guidance yet, we will continue to expect positive free cash flow for the full year of fiscal year '25 |
| Third quarter revenue was up over 100% year-over-year, and bookings were up 85% |
| We have a very unique high performance corporate culture that I think is going to serve as a real strong competitive advantage in the long run |
| In conclusion, business is good, prospects look bright, and C3AI has returned to accelerating growth |
| That being said, we continue to expect that we will operate a positive free cash flow business in Q4 in the next quarter |
| The general health of our accounts receivable remains strong |
| All these numbers exceeded our guidance and exceeded analysts' consensus |
| We're getting strong traction with partners in this federal space, not the least of which is AWS |
| We have a really substantial growth opportunity in federal and we're laying the groundwork to seize it |
| Total revenue of $78.4 million grew 18% year-over-year, exceeding the high end of our guidance range |
| NVIDIA's data center GPU sales grew by 409% year-over-year |
| So that thanks for the question and we're seeing you know very positive news there |
| And the, I'm pleased to report that those changes have been quite positive and we're seeing the levels of sales activity and customer engagement increasing dramatically in the EMEA theater and interesting enough the South American theater too |
| The C3 generative, by combining 15 years' worth of platform architecture with the large language model, we're able to solve the generative AI equation in a highly differentiated manner |
| You've had such great success both with federal and state and local |
| So this model has been and continues to be very successful in driving engagement |
| I commend you for the great Q3 and really strong momentum in the business |
| We continue to drive innovation in the generative AI market with our highly differentiated C3 generative AI solution |
| We continue to be really impressed by the broad range of applications to which this generative AI technology is applicable |
| And we're seeing a groundswell of interest in all of our generative AI offerings and our remarkable uptake of the C3 generative AI suite |
| C3 AI had a great third quarter |
| We are leveraging our first-to-market advantage in scalable trusted enterprise AI to bring secure, deterministic, hallucination-free, traceable, domain-specific generative AI solutions and generative AI augmented applications to market |
| Our US federal business continues to show significant strength |
| Bottom line, our go to market transition is working, as evident from the growth of our opportunity pipeline, the increase in our customer engagements, and increased revenue |
| Now the good news is that our customers are making significant commitments to C3 AI and our multi-year subscription agreements are a positive indicator of the depth of their commitment |
| So it's -- our solution here is really quite unique and it's getting a lot of traction and we are installed today in some of the most secure installations on the planet Earth |
| We're also pleased to share that the pricing on the converted pilots is pretty much in line with our expectations |
| And our contract volume has grown as we expected |
| It's unlocking new use cases and it's breaking, and it's creating kind of breakthrough opportunities for nonobvious applications in new industries and enterprises that we would not have expected and we're just in the earliest days of this |
| Earlier this year, I'd actually asked when we announced in last quarter's conference call, we made a well-considered decision to accelerate our investments in generative AI to seize market share in this large and rapidly growing market opportunity |
| Statement |
|---|
| We anticipated and announced that this transition would have a short to medium term negative effect upon revenue growth and RPO as the average sales price was significantly reduced and the contracts often lacked a time certain multi-period commitment |
| Also, as we discussed last quarter, We expect short-term pressure on an operating margin due to the investments we're making in generative AI and upgrading customers to our platform version 8.3 |
| Free cash flow for the quarter was negative 45.1 million |
| Unbounded liability is a problem at Cargill |
| Unbounded liability is a problem for Bank of America |
| Reflecting our transition to a more consumption-based contract, we reported third quarter GAAP RPO of 186.9 million, which is down 28.8% from last year and current GAAP RPO of 172 million, which is down 2.4% from last year |
| As a reminder, we continue to expect short-term pressure on our gross margins due to higher mix of pilots which carry a greater cost of revenue during the pilot phase of the customer lifecycle |
| Operating loss for the quarter was negative 25.8 million compared to our guidance range of negative 40 million to negative 46 million |
| The enterprise AI market is on fire |
| For Gartner, organizations, this is a quote that do not consistently manage AI risks are exponentially inclined to experience adverse outcomes such as security failures, financial and reputational loss, loss and social harm |
| It's a problem at any responsible organization, even Morgan Stanley |
| Our GAAP operating loss was $82.5 million |
| Thomas Siebel Let's see, I'm trying to find a headwind in either of these stories |
| Total allowance for bad debt remains low at 400,000, and we have no concerns regarding collections |
| But it did come as a surprise |
| Our non-GAAP operating loss was $25.8 million |
| Yeah, let's not get ahead of ourselves |
| Okay, the hard part is we can't get power |
| So I think this GPU constraint is ephemeral as soon as it's going to be power |
| And most large language models will not do that |
