Business from contracts executed in the quarter should substantially increase the industry diversification, 32% were from you was for utilities.
30% of our business was for chemical industry, 20% from agribusiness, 12% from financial services.
I've spoken in the past about our emphasis to increase our business with small and medium customers and I'm pleased to report that we made excellent progress in that regard during the quarter, we executed 12 agreements less than $1 million three.
<unk> contracts between $1 million and $5 million.
Two transactions between $5 million and $10 million and three agreements in the range of $10 million to $50 million.
Shell shell, which is one of our largest customers continues to expand its cta application footprint with over 10000 devices currently monitored by C. III AI and machine learning models and 23 large scale assets production deploy.
Including part us the largest refinery in Europe , and Nigeria, LNG understanding so by asset we're not talking about here by a pump or not talking about a.
Val.
The asset we're talking about partners furnished or those who you know this is the largest refinery in Europe I think the process of half a billion barrels of oil a day and this would be an asset the size you say.
Order of magnitude of say 10 aircraft carrier, so thats, what they call an asset and then 23 assets currently in production correct shelf currently processes, one three trillion predictions per month.
With the Cta.
<unk>.
And shell expanded both the duration and the scale of its contractual relationship with Ctrip during the quarter.
The department of defense awarded <unk>.
Five year $500 million transaction agreement accelerated and the ability for any Dod agency to acquire.

Gas and power.
We received some very significant.
AI tailwind in the federal sector, when the president signed into law in December .
Fiscal year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act.
And then that ACH section $2 27.
<unk> requires that and I quote.
The secretary of defense shall ensure.
That to the maximum extent practicable.
<unk> artificial intelligence companies are able to offer platform services and applications and tools to the department of defense components through processes under part 12 of the federal acquisition regulations.
We believe this represents a secular change in termite policies for AI solutions for D O D <unk>.
<unk> primacy in the selection of use of commercial off the shelf software solutions from commercial vendors like C. III AI.
Rather than traditional custom development by custom project specific developers that have been largely proven to be unsuccessful.
We believe this will help to continue to accelerate CTV AI federal business in the coming years.
Importantly, <unk> owned brand New software development and professional services Center in Guadalajara, Mexico.
We plan to hire as many as a thousand senior software and service engineers in Mexico over the next few years.
<unk> is making this investment to meet the growing global demand for enterprise AI applications and associated services and because the talent pool in Guadalajara is amongst the best in the world.
Comment on cash reserves with one pointed out $2 billion in cash cash equivalents and investments <unk> is well positioned to continue to invest in market leadership.
<unk> enterprise AI innovation.
And brand equity and sales expansion.
Let me talk for a minute about go to market partners.
Our most significant go to market partners are Microsoft AWS, Google Cloud and Baker Hughes.
Microsoft.
We have closed over $250 million in business with Microsoft to date.
As I speak we are currently engaged in over 50 active joint customer discussions.
Our qualified pipeline that we're working together to globally is massive.
AWS.
Year to date, we've closed over $71 million.
<unk> business with AWS, and our AWS joint selling activity increased substantially in the public sector.
Google Cloud, our relatively new partnership.
We have 42.
Oil prospect inactive engagement today, Google has assigned a team of 11 full time professionals to coordinate sales activities with C. III.
We meet literally daily to coordinate sales activities, Google as a platinum sponsor at Cts warm our international users Group conference that will take place in March and Miami.

<unk> will be delivering a plenary keynote address at that conference.
Baker Hughes remains our most strategic partner there.
They're also a platinum sponsor of CTV transform they will also be delivery a plenary keynote.
As you know in Q3.
They expanded their partnership agreement with <unk> substantially increase both the term and the amount of their commitment to us.
In the third quarter, 32% of our business was closed.
Baker Hughes Ctrip Dot AI partnership.
In that.
Thats up from 17% or 18% a year ago and in dollar value represents a 700% growth year over year to be clear.
All of the business in the partnership in Q3.
From the Bayer use partnership came from third party users none of the business came.
None of the growth in IPO came from Baker Hughes.
Bigger use currently have 60 full time professionals coordinating selling with us.
Our pipeline of joint sales activities with which we are engaged remains quite healthy.
Let me address one more time to talk.
Talking about the addressable market.
<unk> got a huge addressable market recent data from IDC suggest that the total addressable market for enterprise AI software.
Is exceptionally large.
To the tune of six 365 billion this year and expect it to exceed $598 billion in 2025.
We believe the seeds III AI is if not the largest certainly one of the largest participants in this rapidly growing market segment, we continue to be focused on establishing and maintaining market leadership and we believe the company is on track to achieve that objective.
Adam line it was a great quarter sales growing part Greg technology leadership and the company is back on track.
I wanted to inform you also that last Friday, the company accepted the resignation of a deal, Missouri, our CFO of 12 weeks.
Who resigned four entirely personal reasons.
Due to the sensitivity of the personnel issues involved.
We'll have no further comment on this matter.
That being said I am pleased.
To inform you that you hope parking in our.
Highly experienced controller and chief accounting officer.
Has been promoted to the role of acting CFO effective immediately youll find that <unk> had exceptional expertise and experience in all matters accounting as it relates to <unk> and with that I am pleased to turn that over to my colleague <unk> Ho.
Additional color on the quarter. Thanks, Tom.
I'll start with a review of our third quarter results and following that I'll provide our outlook for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 'twenty. Two then we'll be happy to take your questions.
Let's start with the third quarter results total revenue for the quarter was $69 8 million up 42% year over year and above our guidance range of $66 million to $68 million.
Subscription revenue was $57 1 million up 34% year over year subscription revenue was approximately 82% of total revenue in the third quarter compared to 87% a year ago.
Professional services revenue was $12 $7 million.
As Tom mentioned earlier for the third quarter remaining performance obligations for GAAP, our appeal increased by 90% on a year over year basis to $469 3 million up from 247 5 million last year.
$171 6 million is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
non-GAAP <unk> increased by 81% to $536 7 million up from $295 9 million last year. The <unk> growth reflects a healthy industry mix as Tom mentioned in his earlier remarks bigger hues related our pure growth to third party companies contributed 32% of <unk>.
Growth in our field compared to 18% a year ago period.
As of Q3, FY 'twenty, two customer count increased to 218 up 82% year over year. We believe this reflects the success of our go to market strategy of entering into large enterprise agreements with our customer entities and expanding within those customer entities.
During the quarter, we performed an analysis of our customer and usage and found that our previous customer count did not capture all the distinct divisions departments business units or groups within customer entities that are using our software or services.
As part of the earnings release under section other metrics, we have provided the apples to apples comparison of customer count using the appropriate calculation.
It provides more clarity and accuracy.
Okay.
Moving down to <unk>.
All metrics on a non-GAAP basis, unless otherwise noted as it excludes stock based compensation.
Expense and the employer portion.
Related to stock transactions.
A GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation is provided with our earnings press release.
Gross profit.
It was $55 $8 million in the third quarter, an increase of 50% from a year ago, primarily driven by revenue growth from new and existing contracts.
Gross margin was 80% compared to 76% a year ago. This improvement.
83% in line with 84% one year ago and professional services gross margin was six.
66% compared to 21% a year ago.
Operating expenses.
In research and development.
Brand awareness and sales and marketing.
We expect to continue to invest aggressively in sales and marketing and R&D to expand our market share and increase our presence in target industry verticals and geographic markets.
While continuing to extend our technology leadership position as the deep Enterprise software company all of these initiatives will drive growth in our business.
Total operating loss.
Was $15 7 million in the third quarter.
Turning to our balance sheet and cash flows we ended the quarter with $1 2 billion in cash cash equivalents and investments.
With no debt.
Operating cash flow for the quarter was an outflow of $55 4 million and after capital expenditures of 0.8 million free cash outflow was $56 2 million.
At quarter end deferred revenue was $59 4 million compared to $62 3 million in the prior year.
We are well positioned to continue to invest in our growth and execute on our growth strategy.
Turning to our guidance for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 'twenty are growing our direct first of our customer base and increased sales momentum reinforces our confidence as we look forward for the fourth quarter. We expect total revenue in the range of $71 million to $72 million, representing a growth of 36 to 38.
Percent from a year ago, we expect to continue to invest in R&D and sales and marketing that will drive the future growth of our business and anticipate a non-GAAP operating loss between 34 and $30 million for.
For the full year of fiscal 'twenty, two we are increasing our revenue guidance to the range of 251% to $252 million, representing a growth of 37%, 38%, we anticipate a non-GAAP operating loss in the range of $94 million to $90 million an improvement from our prior guidance.
In addition, the European indicators for Q1 fiscal 'twenty three have us expect <unk> total revenue for Q4 fiscal 'twenty two and for the full year fiscal 'twenty three the analyst consensus is in line with our growth expectations in <unk>.
We're pleased to report third quarter results that were ahead of our guidance ranges. We are excited about our current sales momentum and customer growth as well as diversification all of which supports our outlook for the remainder of fiscal 'twenty, two and beyond with that I will turn the call over to the operator for questions operator.

And for any reason you would like to remove one question. Please press star followed by <unk>.
Again to ask a question Thats Star one.
A reminder, if you are using a speaker phone. Please remember to pick up your handset before asking your question. We will pause briefly ask questions are registered.
Our first question comes from.
Pat Walraven with J P. Morgan.
Todd Your line is now open.
Thank you J M.
P Morgan, but.
So Mr. <unk> congratulations on the promotion if you don't mind I'd like to start with a question for you and then and then I'll do one.
For Tom.
And also thank you by the way are giving us.
Rough idea of what next year could look like that's very helpful.
But.
Third CFO in a very short period of time. So the question everyone is going to have it.
Are you comfortable that there are no accounting or financial reporting issues it would be great.
Hi, yes. Thank you for that question, yes, I've been here for a veto over a year I joined US Vice President of accounting very quickly assumed the role of a controller.
December was promoted to be Chief accounting officer, and I've been intimately involved with all of the financial statements ever since I joined.
I have no concerns whatsoever.
All of our financials are top notch unemployed with generally accepted accounting principles.
<unk> also add.
We have a.
Very very.
Qualified accounting team just in the past year.
We've enhanced the capabilities internally significantly including multiple CPA.
Lots of big four background.
Masters degrees as well as we use external.
External providers to help us.
Various technical accounting topics. So overall I think our accounting is in top shape.
The financial statements are in tough shape.
Okay. That's very helpful. Thank you and then Tom.
Given the tragic situation that's unfolding in the Ukraine. It seems to me that the biggest opportunity and the platelet decrease.
Possibly do the most good.
Bye.
Helping our department of defense, maybe that of our allies. So if you could.
To the extent you can if you could discuss the opportunity there I think that would be interesting.
Okay.
Great question Pat.
I think that the business activity that we're seeing in the U S fed rural area in defense Intelligence community.
Is very significant.
This this change in federal tariff policy is is very significant basically.
Mandating the secretary there Thats put in.
Procedures in place to assure the commercial off the shelf software is considered for us right now.
Vod.
<unk> hundred build it yourself projects. So this effects also et cetera to those projects.
We are very actively engaged with the department of the Army the department of the Air Force.
And with some of the intelligence agencies.
Some very large projects. We just received as you know half a billion dollar.
Transaction authorization, making it very easy for these departments to opt into.
Procure with this so we are expanding that business in a very substantial advisory or comedy right.
Based on the board.
Youll see some additional debt.
Significant additions to the federal advisory team and I think.
We're going to be very very well positioned to help serve the United States Federal government and the department of defense and to the extent that we have the opportunity to do so.
We consider it a privilege so I think that looks like a big opportunity and we are very focused on.
Okay, great. Thank you.
Thank you Pat.
Our next question comes from Joe.
Jamie Shelton with Deutsche Bank.
Jamie Your line is now open.
Hi, guys can you hear me okay.
Loud and clear Jamie.
Thank you Patrick Hello, just a quick one for me I noticed.
<unk>.
Down by three sequentially.
Can you provide any additional color there if there is any.
Hi, Jamie this is zero so the customer entities numbers are starting premise is that we only count as a customer entity or a customer any such entity that had revenue in the period. So.
Our.
Our lifecycle of a customer there can be trials.
In a given quarter that would be included in the customer into the account for that quarter.
And the following quarter, the customer may not yet be ready to convert to an application of our platform purchase so it could be it could show up one quarter after again on the customer count.
So you would be expected to see this type of up and downs.
In individual quarters, but overall.
Customer entity trend should be going up into the right.
Very clear.
Sorry, just one more.
And can you correct me unpack your expectations.
Subscription boxes.
Right.
One one.
Really outperforming.
How do you.
Kind of looking at that going forward.
I see.
Jamie you can expect there we've been pretty consistent in that I mean, you can expect to see that services theyre going to be in the 15% to 28% range from quarter to quarter and there were clearly are a computer software company, we're not a services.
It's gone through a focused on staying a complete yourself a company and.
We continue to outsource.
A lot of the services business, we do Rev is that take that revenue ourselves. So.
That will be the strategy, but it's.
It's going to kind of bounce around 15% to 20% range from quarter to quarter as it has.
Great and thanks, a lot guys.
Thank you Jamie.
There are no further questions in queue. So as a reminder, star one on your telephone keypad to ask a question.
Our next question comes from John Kim sang win.
Morgan Stanley .
Your line is now open.
Appreciate it thank you for squeezing me in.
Tom I had a question as I really appreciate it.
The detail on.
Some of the deal sizes.
When you talk to a dozen or so deals.
Under $1 million, which is pretty unusual for crystal III, but something you guys.
Pointing in that direction too.
Customers are for those deals what are those customers buying with that sort of ex market are driving those deals is it kind of the.
Starting off with a single App any sort of context.
But the sub $1 million deals.
Composed close with.
I think there is three categories.
If there are the <unk>.
Biggest secondary is going to be trials, okay, so where.
We tend to do paid trials.
Normally in 400000, and $600000 range or paid trials, sometimes trial and that trial.
So that will that will then convert to a larger.
Enterprise license agreement with one or two or three quarters down.
After the termination of the trial.
And then the second category is going to be certainly less than a $1 million.
Ex market transactions.
And that's really the bulk.
Goodbye.
A little.
Okay like that but really those first two.
Really good coverage and we would expect to see that segment.
It makes incorrect.
My follow up question.
<unk> is now.
Hugh.
Now that we've sort of gone back to that.
Traditional strategic account model.
Let me have sort of new business.
Working again.
I take a pretty simplistic framework can say federal business, the federal government that opportunity and then the enterprise opportunity. It seems to me that the enterprise opportunity is.
Okay.
Sort of.
Direction in terms of how buyers.
Once it sort of consume AI still being sort of flushed out and so the spirit of the question is is that when you think about kind of the near term opportunities.
For growth over the next 12 to 24 months should.
Should we expect <unk> to really double down on backhaul being the primary driver of growth or do you expect that to continue to be sort of the.
The continued balance between what's the.
Government business.
Lewis.
Great question. Thank you for asking and the answer is absolutely not.
Okay to the extent that there were very active.
Okay and discussions with the federal government to the extent that with the opportunity to share. We're very pleased to do so think federal is going to be 15% of our business. Okay.
And then just steady state in the long run U S federal Okay, and the balance will be APAC EMEA.
Thanks.
Thanks.
The balance I think 40% North America, 40%.
Sure.
EMEA and 20% APAC ex China, where we don't do business.
And so those.
Sure.
We're not becoming a federal contract.
Understood really questions. Thank you.
Thank you Sandy.
Our next question comes from.
Mark Murphy with JP Morgan.
Mark Your line is now open.
Thank you very much Tom.
Just now snowflake.
And we've had a number of other data.
Yeah, and analytics and infrastructure companies that are mentioning a slowdown in consumption trend over the holidays and into January .
And there's been a bit of this passing through lower <unk>.
CPU pricing from Amazon and some of the other cloud platforms, that's impacting some of these companies.
I'm just curious based on the pretty good strength of your guidance what should we assume that you did not see.
Any type of slowdown either either on the consumption side I realize it might not impact you directly but or.
With more users taking longer vacations anything along those lines.
It was 42%.
So assume that we exceeded any guidance that we gave.
And any guidance in a way above any consensus guidance, we might not have been above yours, mark because I know you always give us.
Sure.
Yes.
Sure.
We're quite pleased with 42% growth I mean, that's the way into the upper decile of rapidly growing software companies.
And I think that right now as you look as we look at what we like.
What next year looks like.
We're comfortable with the consensus guidance out there that I think is about 33%.
<unk>.
That.
Kind of.
Where we are and so we're.
So moved.
I don't think we're not seeing any noticeable slowdown no sir.
Happens, but yes, I just wanted to.
To try to clarify or kind of draw that.
That contrasts but it didn't seem like.
Got it running around.
Our growth rate, we should be in the upper deck next year of rapidly growing shelf.
Okay.
Yes.
Yep Yep.
Okay.
Okay.
My other question is.
Either way either way as it will be this year.
Yes, okay.
My other question is the.
<unk> give us from time to time, but.
The commodity price for oil and gas has just gone vertical I think in a way that we haven't seen in quite a long time and so.
Since you have the exposure there.
Is there anything worth mentioning in terms of the pipeline is that.
Does that feel like it's tangibly flowing through into more ability to spend for those oil and gas customers.
Yes.
Yes.
Absolutely, yes, okay with the exception of oil and gas companies in Russia, Okay show.
Honestly, if we look at Q4 and Q1, Okay. We were expecting we had been working some drive some business that we expected to.
To see close in Russia, and I think the point the last time I checked on CNBC. The probability of that closing was pretty low, but I think we can put a zero on that.
Sure.
Yes.
So that's what's kind of moderates are.
No.
Get it moderate in Q4, and Q1, a little bit, but there's three deals that in Russia.
No.
I'm not going to happen in our lifetimes now but.
But the rapid with the rest of the oil and gas business and assume it doesn't happen in our lifetime.
The.
About the rest of the oil and gas business or the newspaper article.
We can expect to see them invest at a greater rate.
Okay is it safe to assume that that nets out positively.
If it's three deals that won't happen in the rest is in good shape.
Yes.
Okay understood. Thank you.
Thank you Mark.
Our next question comes from Jamie.
Jamie Shelton with Deutsche.
Deutsche Bank.
Your line is now open.
Apologies guys when I had my question.
Thank you.
Thanks, Jeremy.
Our next question comes from.
Mike It's Doug.
Needham and company Mike Your line is now open.
Hi team. Thanks for getting me on here with the Q&A I apologize. If this has been discussed previously but have been.
Jumping back and forth between a few earnings calls Tonight.
Wanted to ask about the sales reorganization and the risk work is refocusing I know that you guys had talked about the realignment.
Is there anything that you could point to to help us better.
From a data point perspective.
Contemplate improvements either sales activity or.
The improved productivity from the sales re org that you guys had discussed in the previous quarter.
Yes, first let me thanks for the question Mike.
There was no sales reorganization. So we've got the same organization in place believe change the sales methodology.
Our traditional strategic.
Kind of selling.
Right Okay.
So same sales.
<unk>.
Jesse.
The traditional means of Sally I think can I.
What's the biggest indication it will give us the success is changing RPI.
Hey.
<unk> has changed in our view so so I think Mike the best way to think about this is to the AIT the diversity in our Apio go sequentially I know Tom mentioned.
In the last earnings call, we love to talk about diversity, so diversity and the increase in RVO would have been.
32% from utilities, 30% for chemicals.
20% from agribusiness, 11% preferred national services.
<unk>, 6% oil and gas and the rest across life Sciences manufacturing and the other show is highly diverse.
It was a large number of agreements.
What else we could comment that would answer my question you will I think in general Mike. The overall activity was significantly improved in Q3 versus Q2.
Okay.
Very helpful. Thank you for clarifying on that and again I'll apologize because I am coming in a little bit late but I know.
One of the things that I did want to ask you guys about can you provide any commentary on the.
Either adoption or pipeline building that youre seeing around CRM and.
What has been the reception to date division.
Anything on either of those would be incremental.
We're doing a major release.
Thats called <unk>.
<unk> averaged eight there were released in March.
That represents three.
Rewrite of almost the entire stack.
We will release that at something called Cta transform which is our internationally is this group, which will be in March and Miami.
And.
Then data vision will be integrated deeply integrated almost all of our products.
CRM is now.
Just kind of just being released into the marketplace. There is a lot of interest I think there's a lot of potential as a 120 billion dollar software. As you May know is 120 billion dollar software and services business and there seems to be a lot of interest in making this the Ci this CRM.
Patients predicted and by the way. This is what we're doing and it's not a rip and replace so we're not going in for bullies seem to take out Salesforce Siebel dynamics Veeva.
Over the last year or whatever they might have we just sit on top of that okay.
And make it accurately predictive so.
For AI based.
AI enabled revenue forecasting predictive relationship modeling next best product next best offer. So I think there is high level of interest there and I think that honestly a year from now it will be a pretty big business as it take is it takes a little while to build it.
Thanks.
Just building on that I think on the previous earnings call as well as it relates to CRM.
You had spoken to a substantial interest coming from the global web site.
And that product and exactly what you said.
Matt the rip and replace so much as the standing up <unk> on top of that to drive it.
Guys do delivery.
Thank you very much I appreciate you taking the time for the question.
Thank you and then just generic strategy that is continuing.
So.
When I think when you get to for those of you.
At our users conference participation from Accenture, Pwc and others.
<unk>.
So I think there is a big opportunity with ESI.
Thank you very much.
Thank you Mike.
There are no additional questions waiting at this time, so I will pass the conference back over to the management team for closing remarks.
Thank you all very much for your time.
We're very pleased to announce I mean it was.
Exceptional quarter, we exceeded our expectations, we exceeded the market expectations I think we got the sales organization back on track.
The company's customers continue to.
Accelerate their of their implementation.
At a very substantial rate.
That as we enter Q4 of this fiscal year. The company is exactly on track.
Doing exactly what we said we would be doing when we took this company public so we're kind of feeling.
Quite optimistic and.
Thank you for your time, and we look forward to continuous discussion with you.
Have a great day everybody.
Okay.
That concludes D C. Three AI third quarter 2022 fiscal year earnings call. Thank you for your participation you may now disconnect your lines.
