Speaker #3: Thank you . David . afternoon everyone . Thank you for joining us today . As we share the results of our fiscal first quarter .

Speaker #3: Now starting our fifth year as a public company , I'm pleased to share that once again , we've achieved strong quarterly results supported by cloud RR growth , new products , new partnerships , new logos , and expanded client accounts around the world .

Speaker #3: We added new applied AI capabilities to our platform , furthered our strategic partnership with Microsoft and migrated more clients to the cloud . I'll share details on these and other select growth drivers throughout this call Good .

Speaker #3: In Q1 . Our cloud RR grew to $401 million , up 30% year over year . Cloud now represents 80% of our total RR of 504 million .

Speaker #3: In the quarter . We earned SaaS revenue of 98 million , up year , and total revenue of 139 million , up 27% year over 17% year over year .

Speaker #3: Now, I'd like to share some highlights from our fiscal first quarter. We continue to execute on our vertical AI roadmap, specifically through applied AI innovation and growing client adoption.

Speaker #3: For a bit of context . Our industry specific AI solutions do automate rote manual tasks , but more importantly , they deliver actionable insights drawn from a firm's proprietary data knowledge and relationships , which are unified and enriched with our own industry .

Speaker #3: Graph data model and trusted third party sources . Critically , our solutions do all of this while helping firms maintain compliance with the industry's most complex regulations .

Speaker #3: These advanced , tailored compliance capabilities are what set NetApp apart and why firm leadership continues to invest in our technology . Which brings me to my first example .

Speaker #3: In Q1 , we announced a significant new release of Intact time , which delivers faster , easier , more accurate time keeping powered by major new AI features built on our secure cloud foundation .

Speaker #3: The new intact time offers gen AI capabilities that monitor users workdays to find and capture billable activities to validate entries against client guidelines to suggest corrections when needed , and to answer questions about entries and unreleased time via an AI chat experience .

Speaker #3: The response has been very enthusiastic , reflecting that we're tapping into real need with our thoughtfully designed vertical AI . More than 100 clients and prospects attended our introductory webinar , and we booked over 200 meetings in the six weeks following its launch .

Speaker #3: Ryan Donato , CIO at Vorys , who participated in our early adopter program , said the intact time release is very intuitive and won't require us to retrain our lawyers .

Speaker #3: Our users really like the quick Add functionality , the ability to use AI to create narratives , and the ability to group activities in the activity stream .

Speaker #3: Additionally , this quarter , Starwood Capital Group , a leading real estate investment firm with over 120 billion in capital , deployed globally and a leader in technology adoption , added Intapp, Inc. Agentic AI capability to its deal .

Speaker #3: Cloud deployment . The Agentic capability will give Starwood's investment professionals a 360 degree view of the firm's investments and portfolio , all enabled and orchestrated in a modern AI .

Speaker #3: Chat interface . And third , alpaca real estate is showcasing its use of Deal Cloud as a differentiator to its clients and prospects .

Speaker #3: At a recent client retreat , the firm shared how its modern tech stack gives them a competitive advantage among real assets . Investors and highlighted Deal Cloud as an integral part of their evolution toward AI , powering their workflows , analytics and data .

Speaker #3: Now , let's turn to our extensive partner network . We continue to grow our high impact partner ecosystem , anchored by Microsoft and a strategic set of 145 curated data , technology and services partners .

Speaker #3: It's one of the most powerful vertical ecosystems in our industry , and it's real differentiator is how deeply our partners are integrated into our commercial operations .

Speaker #3: They're strategic amplifiers of our business , enabling us to pursue larger opportunities , execute faster and scale more efficiently without a proportional increase in internal costs .

Speaker #3: To name just one example , in Q1 , Lex Soft joined our network to help drive growth in our legal vertical . In Latin America and other Spanish speaking markets .

Speaker #3: And as in previous quarters , Microsoft continues to be a major growth driver for us . Of our ten largest Q1 wins , more than half were jointly executed with Microsoft .

Speaker #3: In several of those , Microsoft fronted Azure investment dollars to help accelerate the deals . I'll share more specifics as we turn our attention to notable wins from the quarter .

Speaker #3: Our growth was again powered by adding new clients , expanding within existing clients , and migrating clients to the cloud . We also continued to make traction in new markets spanning across our verticals , products and global locations .

Speaker #3: This quarter , we saw three notable trends driving wins in our legal vertical . First , the largest law firms continue to consolidate .

Speaker #3: In other words , the big firms keep getting bigger . They're taking a bigger share of the growing legal market . And they're going to continue to need an enterprise class technology partner that can scale with them .

Speaker #3: To cite an example , one of the 95 Amlaw 100 firms we count as a client increased their contract for intact conflicts , intake terms , time walls and collaboration .

Speaker #3: This quarter to accommodate its growing size . Second , our clients are adding additional untapped solutions , including AI . When they migrate to the cloud .

Speaker #3: For example , another Amlaw 100 client started moving its intake and conflict solutions to the cloud , while also augmenting its portfolio of Ontap solutions by upgrading to the newly released NetApp time with Gen AI on the Azure marketplace .

Speaker #3: And an Amlaw 200 firm chose to move all of its intact solutions to the cloud , starting with compliance . They purchased Intapp, Inc. Assist to add AI capabilities to its time terms and deal cloud solutions .

Speaker #3: The firm completed the purchase via the Azure Marketplace using their existing Mac agreement . And third current cloud clients are also growing their intact footprint .

Speaker #3: For example , Ryan Cave , Leighton Paisner bought Bill stream and added Intapp, Inc. assist to its time contract , expanding their existing product portfolio of Intapp, Inc. compliance and collaboration solutions .

Speaker #3: One of our intact time , I early adopters also added intact terms with assist to enable comprehensive , compliant time recording . These solutions add to the UK law firm's existing portfolio of Ntap compliance solutions .

Speaker #3: In our accounting and consulting vertical . We saw continued modernization of compliance and time keeping practices with many adding new products to their existing Encap investments .

Speaker #3: I'll share a couple of examples . One of the largest providers of tax accounting and advisory services purchased intact employee compliance to complement its existing instances of intake and conflicts , and CA limited , a leading consulting firm in forensics , analysis and investigations , added the new intact time to its portfolio that includes Buildstream conflicts and intake .

Speaker #3: In our financial services verticals . Firms continue to choose our purpose built solutions for their industry specific capabilities . Here are some examples .

Speaker #3: A leading bulge bracket investment bank chose to replace a homegrown system with deal Cloud for AI enabled client coverage and deal execution that are attuned to the complexities of a multinational bank with complex clients .

Speaker #3: A mid-market PE firm moved from its legacy horizontal CRM to deal cloud with intact assist as part of its AI first approach to deal origination , deal sourcing and business development .

Speaker #3: Compass Capital chose Deal Cloud for AI driven marketing . Deal origination , and relationship management capabilities . The firm is replacing disparate legacy systems with a unified solution designed for PE workflows .

Speaker #3: And a global investor and manager focused on real assets . Selected deal Cloud for its ability to improve investment efficiency and manage complex transactions .

Speaker #3: And a global investor and manager focused on real assets . Selected deal Cloud for its ability to improve investment process global and enterprise go to market reach .

Speaker #3: In conclusion , we're proud of our strong performance in our first quarter , and we're optimistic about our continued growth opportunities as our Q1 performance has shown .

Speaker #3: We see continued opportunity both to add new clients across a broad Tam and to deliver greater value by expanding within our existing client base .

Speaker #3: We're serving a durable end market with our subscription revenue model . Industry specific cloud platform and applied AI and compliance capabilities . We have a great growth opportunity to drive AI , cloud adoption and modernization across all the industries we serve .

Speaker #3: As always , I'd like to thank our clients , our partners , our investors , our board , and our global Intact team for their teamwork and dedication .

Speaker #3: Thank you all very much . Okay . David , over to you . Thank you , John , and .

Speaker #4: Thanks to everyone for joining us today . I'm pleased to report a solid start to fiscal 2026 with our first quarter performance . These results underscore the opportunity ahead as we prudently invest and execute against key market tailwinds .

Speaker #4: Digitalization . Cloud forward adoption and compliance driven demand . Our Q1 execution reflects these dynamics and reinforces our confidence in driving sustained , profitable growth this fiscal year and beyond .

Speaker #4: Cloud annual recurring revenue surpassed 400 million in Q1 , a 30% year over year increase . As we expanded enterprise wallet share across our vertical markets .

Speaker #4: We excelled on both upsell and cross-sell activity this quarter , while continuing to transition client spend to the cloud . We're also seeing strong progress in executing our vertical applied AI strategy with absolute growth in AI skew ACV dollars , and attach rates .

Speaker #4: While maintaining discipline in our operating model . Proving that efficiency and leverage are tenable . Let's begin with our fiscal Q1 results . SaaS revenue was 97.5 million , up 27% year over year , driven by new client acquisitions , contract expansions , and ongoing migrations from on premise products to the cloud .

Speaker #4: Cloud positive mix progression continued with SaaS now contributing 70% of total revenue , up more than five points year over year . License revenue totaled 29.2 million , up 2% year over year .

Speaker #4: The on premise portion of our business continued to migrate toward cloud offerings . While legal client growth remains steady and in line with firm expansion .

Speaker #4: Professional services revenue was 12.3 million , down 8% year over year . Our partner ecosystem continues to help us prioritize long term cloud growth by focusing on co-sell execution , client satisfaction and efficient implementation practices .

Speaker #4: Total revenue was 139 million , up 17% year over year , driven primarily by strong demand for our cloud solutions . Turning to our capital allocation , as announced in August , our board authorized 150 million share repurchase program during the first quarter .

Speaker #4: We repurchased 50 million , or approximately 1.1 million shares , reflecting our confidence in long term value of the business . While maintaining a strong balance sheet .

Speaker #4: Our partner ecosystem continues to deepen its role in the go to market execution and client delivery . Partners are facilitating complex deals , opening new geographic opportunities , accelerating value realization , and promoting platform adoption , and retention .

Speaker #4: Our FY 26 sales kickoff included a dedicated in-person partner track for the first time , a reflection of the expanding network opportunity year over year .

Speaker #4: Co-sell growth in Q1 was strong , and we feel well positioned for even greater partner driven contribution in FY 26 and beyond as we continue to focus on margins and operational efficiency , Q1 non-GAAP gross margin was 77.7% , up from 76.3% a year ago , reflecting continued mix shift in cloud efficiency gains .

Speaker #4: non-GAAP operating expenses were 87.1 million , compared to 75.6 million in the prior year period , largely reflecting go to market spend related to sales , kickoff and targeting marketing initiatives .

Speaker #4: As we entered the fiscal year , as well as ongoing investments in our product led growth strategy , non-GAAP operating income was 20.9 million , up from 15.1 million in Q1 of last year .

Speaker #4: non-GAAP diluted EPs was $0.24 , compared to $0.21 in the prior year period . Free cash flow was 13.2 million for the quarter , defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures .

Speaker #4: Our cash and cash equivalents balance at the end of the quarter was 273.4 million , reflecting our 50 million share repurchase . Turning to our key metrics cloud RR increased 30% year over year , while total RR grew 21% over the same period .

Speaker #4: Total remaining performance obligations , or RPO , was 715.2 million , up 30% year over year . Our increasingly enterprise focused go to market motion showed , continued progress in Q1 , yielding a quarter end 813 clients with RR of at least 100,000 , up from 707 in the previous year .

Speaker #4: Our 100 K plus RR clients now comprise approximately 30% of our total clients of 2750 . Our cloud net revenue retention rate was 121% in the first quarter , demonstrating continued strong retention and strong upsell and cross-sell expansion among existing cloud clients .

Speaker #4: Now turning to our outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 , we expect SaaS revenue of between 100 and 101 million . Total revenue in the range of 137.6 and 138.6 million .

Speaker #4: non-GAAP operating income is expected to be in the range of 21.4 to 22.4 million , and non-GAAP EPs in the range of $0.25 to $0.27 .

Speaker #4: Using a diluted share count weighted for the quarter of approximately 84 million common shares outstanding . For the full year fiscal 2026 . We expect SaaS revenue of between 412 and 416 million .

Speaker #4: Total revenue in the range of 569.3 and 573.3 million . non-GAAP operating income in the range of 97.7 and 101.7 million , non-GAAP EPs in the range of $1.15 to $1 .

Speaker #4: 19 , using a diluted share count , waited for the fiscal year 2026 of approximately 85 million common shares outstanding . Thank you .

Speaker #4: And I'll now turn the call back to the operator .

Speaker #1: Thank you . We will now begin the question and answer session . If you have dialed in and would like to ask a question , please press star One on your telephone keypad to raise your hand and join the queue .

Speaker #1: If you would like to withdraw your question , simply press star one again . If you are called upon to ask your question in our listening via speakerphone in your device , please pick up your handset to ensure that your phone is not on mute .

Speaker #1: When asking your question again , press star one to join the queue . And our first question comes from the line of Kevin McVeigh with UBS .

Speaker #1: Your line is open .

Speaker #5: Great . Thanks so much . And congratulations . Really on terrific results . Hey , John , we're Dave , I don't know this before , but the net revenue retention 121% just really , really amazing .

Speaker #5: That was up from last quarter . Can you help us maybe understand what drove that a little bit . Maybe we could start there .

Speaker #4: Hey, Kevin, it's Dave.

Speaker #5: Hey , Dave .

Speaker #4: Yeah . The team . The team's done . Continue to do extremely well . We continue to make continued inroads . Both not only on the upsell , which is additional seats , but also true cross-sell motion .

Speaker #4: And I think , you know , going back in time last year we introduced our true enterprise model . And we've continued to densify that around a lot of key accounts .

Speaker #4: And we're continuing to see a lot of success with our cloud offerings , with that profile . And so you're just continue to see that general nature of how we've been going to market .

Speaker #4: And been articulating and quite frankly , given some really good examples , even in today's conversation point , as well as our churn continues to remain low single digit .

Speaker #4: So our product adoption and delivery has been very welcomed by our respective clients . And we'll continue to make progress there .

Speaker #5: That's helpful . And then , you know , obviously the results continue to be terrific . There's obviously a lot of debate as to how gen AI could potentially impact your clients .

Speaker #5: You know , as you've kind of started on the journey , have you seen any changes in behavioral around that where they're consuming ?

Speaker #5: Maybe more , maybe less or shifts in terms of how your charging just to , you know , based on any behavioral changes from your client perspective .

Speaker #5: I mean , the numbers don't suggest that at all . If anything , it seems they get better . But just anything to help us , you know , kind of answer that question that we've gotten from our clients .

Speaker #3: Thanks , Kevin . This is John . So we're big . We're big believers in what this generation of AI is going to bring to this end market .

Speaker #3: There's an incredible opportunity for these firms who are very knowledge oriented in the way that they create value , either as investors or as advisors .

Speaker #3: And so we're putting a huge program behind extending our traditional machine learning generation , AI with this gen AI generation technology . And we have a lot of expertise in the business to continue to do that .

Speaker #3: And you've seen a series of announcements from us over the past 18 , 24 months of a sequential expansion of the AI generation throughout the platform .

Speaker #3: And the most recent one we talked about on this call was the time release , which has been very well received . It's interesting to get the feedback from the clients .

Speaker #3: A lot of them are trying a lot of the different tools . We had an advisory board with our CEOs , and one of the leaders told me that she had nine different AI startup tools , that they were trying .

Speaker #3: So, that's kind of where we are in the adoption cycle from our perspective. We think there's a tremendous opportunity to leverage the position that we have developed over many years as the scaled, compliant systems to.

Speaker #3: Bring AI into the workflows . We call it vertical AI . And really differentiate from a lot of the more general horizontal systems that are being offered out there from some of the larger companies , but also in an integrated workflow that differentiates from some of the smaller companies that are working on more of a point solution approach .

Speaker #3: And that's been very positively received from our advisory boards and our early adopters . I gave some examples of how our adoption is working , and this is historically how we have grown .

Speaker #3: The company . We've had many years working with these firms . And the advisory board system that helped build the company as a bootstrap business .

Speaker #3: And we're doing the same thing with this generation . So it's a very deliberate strategy to look for the key value propositions that will enable us to roll .

Speaker #3: Out and monetize it . Your question about charging , we have said that we have in our contracts the ability to meter in different ways .

Speaker #3: We already have revenue that comes both from a for user basis and from a firm size basis . And we are working with some of the early adopters on some other models that we'll hear more about as fiscal year rolls on .

Speaker #3: But I think there's a real opportunity to continue to leverage the existing relationships we have and the firms are pretty excited to pay for it .

Speaker #3: Given some of the ROI that we can show . So we're optimistic about how this goes .

Speaker #5: Thanks a lot of sense . Thank you .

Speaker #1: Our next question comes from the line of Alexei Gogolev with J.P. Morgan. Your line is open.

Speaker #6: Thank you . Hi , John . Hi , Dave . Given the very strong RR and RR acceleration , how much of this acceleration is coming from industry specific changes like the one John , you mentioned in a market consolidation , legal and how much is coming from macro tailwinds or perhaps that internal enterprise sales build out and productivity improvement .

Speaker #3: Yeah . Thank you . Aleksey , I think it is a combination of several of those trends . So there's definitely a set of trends in each of the industries that is helping us at the enterprise level .

Speaker #3: As I mentioned , the law firms have a consolidation trend going on in the accounting industry . There is a trend where the private equity firms are coming in and investing in the midsized accounting firms and basically rolling them up .

Speaker #3: So they're becoming more enterprise class pretty quickly . And they have a strong technology need . And in particular , a strong compliance need , because now you have , for the first time , private equity owners of these professional firms .

Speaker #3: And the compliance issues are very meaningful there . So that's helping us . There are a couple of regulatory things that are happening .

Speaker #3: I mentioned on an earlier call what's happening in places like Australia with some of the AML regulations . And then the private equity industry is continuing as secular growth .

Speaker #3: So the firms are getting bigger , they're raising larger funds and they're taking more share from the public markets . So we're very well positioned in several of these macro trends .

Speaker #3: I think from a technology transformation perspective , you know , we're continuing to follow the digital transformation trend that you all have studied in .

Speaker #3: A lot of the other markets for a long time . It was slower to come to this market . And we're benefiting from the fact that these firms are really committed now to getting to the cloud , particularly after Covid .

Speaker #3: And you hear us give examples of that accelerating . So we're excited about that . For us . And then finally , this AI conversation that we just talked about is definitely causing people to take a new look at their it portfolio and how are they going to position themselves to make sure they compete in this era when AI is going to play a meaningful role in the operation of the firms ?

Speaker #3: So there are several overall drivers, I think, that are supporting that in RR and RR growth.

Speaker #6: Thank you, John and Dave. Considering the strong dynamics for RR, do you feel like the guidance that you've given is somewhat conservative?

Speaker #6: It looks like you've raised full year outlook by less than the Q1 beat ? Can you maybe elaborate on that ?

Speaker #3: Yeah .

Speaker #4: We're always going to show a series of prudence here as we exit . Not only this year , but then going into next year .

Speaker #4: So that's that's one , two . You know , we're definitely cloud focused , SaaS focused . We do have some moving parts going on with both services and with license , but we feel that we've provided a very prudent guide that just lets us keep our heads down and execute accordingly .

Speaker #4: So .

Speaker #6: Thank you .

Speaker #1: Next question comes from the line of Parker Lin with Stifel . Your line is open .

Speaker #7: Hey guys . Thanks for taking the question , John . Clearly showing a lot of progress here in the percentage of business from , you know , cloud from an IRR perspective for those holdouts that you're seeing today with the amount of innovation you're delivering from an AI perspective , what are the common reasons that people are continuing to stick on premise ?

Speaker #7: And do you think AI is becoming that tipping point that can perhaps accelerate their decision making to move to cloud more quickly ?

Speaker #3: Thanks , Parker . I do think the trend is strong and accelerating because a lot of the traditional impediments that held back this industry have kind of been tackled .

Speaker #3: There was some regulatory requirements that people needed , but a lot of the capabilities of our partner Microsoft . Now to meet the different hosting requirements in each of the jurisdictions have been solved .

Speaker #3: A lot of the firms that we serve , certainly the enterprise class firms are operating in more than one regulatory jurisdiction . So that was an important part .

Speaker #3: I think the Microsoft partnership overall has really helped us in that regard . At the larger end of the market , I think now AI is absolutely captured the attention of the firms , but they really are experimenting in a lot of places and looking for an experienced partner that they can trust and particularly for this market where we're focused , the compliance questions about how do they make sure that they respect client confidentiality and the incredible importance to each of them .

Speaker #3: Sometimes, from a pure regulatory point of view, how do you manage MMPI inside these large firms and make sure that it doesn't get accidentally shared over shared inside the firm?

Speaker #3: And then how do you make sure that the firm's intellectual property is history of knowledge and experience , which is really what forms the basis of these firms ability to compete and differentiate themselves .

Speaker #3: How do you make sure that that is something that you can manage and use for the firms , and proprietary advantage going forward ?

Speaker #3: These are all key issues for these firms as they look at a lot of these solutions . And we've been very focused on continuing our strong position in compliance and information governance .

Speaker #3: And confidentiality as the key partner to enable them to deploy AI in a trusted way to really get the value of it in a way that's consistent with the obligations that they have from regulations , but also from their professional obligations .

Speaker #3: And that's playing well . So I think that we have a great opportunity to continue to pull people to the cloud . Now , the final piece is just the it budget and prioritization of all the projects that they're doing this year .

Speaker #3: It's become less and less of a argument against as much as a practical how do we plan for this ? And so we're working with each of our clients , with our account plans and our teams to make sure that we get in line and make sure we're at the front of the line with the AI story to help them make this move .

Speaker #3: And you're seeing some examples of that that we shared with you .

Speaker #7: Makes sense , John and Dave , maybe one for you as you've leaned more into partners , you alluded to this more moderated pace of professional services revenue growth .

Speaker #7: Would you expect that trend to continue here in fiscal 26 ? And given that , would the the somewhat of a pressure that we saw in gross margins , professional services also come with that ?

Speaker #7: Or do you expect utilization rates to sort of normalize here ?

Speaker #4: So on the margin pressure , we expect that to moderate here . You know , through the back half of the year . So plenty of planning and activity there .

Speaker #4: You know , with respect to revenue , you know , we're always playing the trade offs of building the ecosystem as well as , you know what what gets delivered without gets delivered internally without losing , you know , the aspect of the customer first .

Speaker #4: And so that's always going to be . You know , relatively tricky balance that we're trying to , you know , make game day decisions on .

Speaker #4: And then with respect to the margins that follow . And so , you know , I think from a longer term perspective , you know , you want to model around 10% of revenue to be in our services .

Speaker #4: But that could deviate a point or two here or there as you modulate through the respective quarters .

Speaker #7: Understood . Thanks for the feedback .

Speaker #1: Next question comes from the line of Koji Ikeda with Bank of America. Your line is open.

Speaker #8: Yeah . Hey guys , thanks so much for taking the questions . Maybe the first one on AI and looking at your two target verticals , the financial services and professional services of the two , which are more an open to adopting AI tools today and and for the other one that maybe is less open , you know , what do you think is the catalyst or trigger within these within this specific vertical vertical to drive more AI adoption ?

Speaker #3: Thanks , Koji . The market generally is super excited about the AI opportunity , particularly because so much of what these folks do is in the style of research , and a lot of the first tools that have come out have helped people to look into the outside world and research what's available on the internet and take a point of view on that .

Speaker #3: And it's very familiar to a lot of the work that a lot of the folks inside these organizations do . So there's a lot of enthusiasm for what it can do to help them as they try to bring those experiences and integrate them into the overall management workflows of the firm .

Speaker #3: They're needing to integrate more and more with the proprietary data of the firm , with the governance practices of the firm , with the financial management operational management requirements of the firm , and I think this is what's pulling us in at the top of the leadership group to say , how can we help them orchestrate the role of AI across the various activities that people are trying inside the firm , and do so in a compliant way and in a governed way , and take advantage of a lot of the firms proprietary knowledge in our industry .

Speaker #3: Graph data model and other sources inside the firm to help them really get the full value for the institution . Out of this style of adoption , I think there's different flavors of that in the law firm side .

Speaker #3: You know , we make this distinction , which is kind of a classic distinction between the practice of law and the business of law .

Speaker #3: And historically intact has been very much helping the firms as a whole orchestrate their business . And so that's sort of an angle inside that firm .

Speaker #3: There's an analogous case , though , on the financial services side , where firms are really focused on the process of sourcing and origination of business , which is completely analogous to what we're doing in professional services .

Speaker #3: So I think rather than contrast the two , I would say it's more about the vertical AI solutions . The category solutions . And how are the firms going to think about AI overall as a program of improving productivity in a compliant way for all of the players inside the organization ?

Speaker #3: That's our focus .

Speaker #8: Got it . No , that's super helpful . And a follow up here for David . I focus a lot or we focus a lot on IRR .

Speaker #8: And specifically cloud AR and great great to see the acceleration there . But I can't help look at my model and notice Billings .

Speaker #8: You're just looking at kind of mid mid high teens growth in total billings . But also a lot of volatility in that quarterly billings .

Speaker #8: The calculated billings metrics maybe help us understand some of the puts and takes there . And is there the potential for billings to start to smooth out here in the coming quarters ?

Speaker #8: Thank you .

Speaker #4: Good question . So yes , we do see it smoothing out , you know , in 6 to 9 months . Really getting through things such as services , which has a lot of fixed fee , you know , getting through some of these licenses , which , you know , you get half up front at times with ASC 606 .

Speaker #4: And so as those things transition , so too will the noise . You also have to just with respect to Q1 of 26 , if you look at the doctors , right , you know , going from the deferred revenue of almost an all time high or actually an all time high in Q4 of 25 , coming down to Q1 of 26 , you know , 259 down to 239 , but then if you look at that year over year , you know , the 239 up over the 205 , I mean , you are seeing pure growth within that number .

Speaker #4: And so we think it's on the right trajectory .

Speaker #8: Thank you .

Speaker #1: Next question comes from the line of Terry Tillman with Truist . Your line is open .

Speaker #9: Hi . This is Dominique Manansala on for Terry . Thanks for taking my questions . So considering fiscal Q2 and Q4 tend to be the stronger R quarters for fiscal cycles and the renewal base as your mix shifts more into enterprise with the new enterprise sales group , do you expect that seasonality to intensify ?

Speaker #9: Or maybe flatten a bit as your deal sizes grow ?

Speaker #4: Apologies . I was trying to get my phone off mute . No , we we view the same seasonal patterns with both of our , you know , whether it be mid-market or enterprise .

Speaker #4: It just lands naturally with our end clients year end . And so where you see some of the incremental could be , you know , budget flush either through the respective calendar year end and or through halfway through the year when the budgets are allocated .

Speaker #4: And so that's kind of what we're selling into at more and more of these enterprise accounts . And so we don't see that deviating .

Speaker #4: We also don't see an intensifying because we, you know, have been part and part selling to a lot of these larger enterprise accounts.

Speaker #4: But now we're just doing it more formally. And so, yeah, we'll continue to maintain that asymptote.

Speaker #9: Got it . And then just as a follow up , now that Ntap has surpassed $500 million in revenues entering this next phase of evolution , looking toward the billion dollar revenue narrative , what are the 1 or 2 most important execution levers that kind of move the company toward that next major scale milestone ?

Speaker #9: I guess I'm thinking maybe deeper product detach, creator partner leverage, or maybe continued vertical expansion.

Speaker #3: Yes . So we have a couple ways to win here . On one hand , we have enough clients . Today we talked about this a little bit at our Investor Day that if we just sold through a percentage of what we have on offer today , we could get to the get the company to $1 billion and much more .

Speaker #3: And alternatively , it's a large underserved Tam , and we're landing new clients each quarter and each year . And if we just did that with the deal sizes that we're showing , we could get to $1 billion that way .

Speaker #3: So there's actually a very large opportunity for us , this market is very interesting because it's 3% of the global economy and has traditionally been overlooked by the horizontal players .

Speaker #3: So the vertical strategy across the technology generations has been a key angle for us . And a lot of the capabilities that we've developed , like the compliance point , transcend each of the technology generations .

Speaker #3: And now we're doing it with vertical AI. So, I think there's a great opportunity for us to grow to that number. I think some of the execution levers include the continued success of our clients, the cross-sell and the upsell, the continued landing of new clients based on our strong reputation, and continued innovation. There's a huge opportunity.

Speaker #3: It's historically for us been very client driven . We were bootstrapped company . We have an advisory board , systems , people help us understand what it is that if we build for them , they will pay for it and that relationship goes back 15 to 20 years .

Speaker #3: In some firms , they really do trust us to be the people , to bring them to the AI generation . So executing on that , continuing that core capability of innovation directly to this market , I think will really help us .

Speaker #3: And then I think just continued talent as we grow . We've had a great opportunity to bring more and more great talent into the business .

Speaker #3: People who have seen larger and larger scale people from the firms themselves have really , really bring the expertise . It's a unique group that we've assembled that really understands how to bring this next generation of technology to this specialized end market .

Speaker #3: So those are some of the key points .

Speaker #9: Great . Thank you .

Speaker #1: Next question comes from the line of Alex Clark with Raymond James . Your line is open .

Speaker #10: Great . Thank you John . On the International opportunity and some of the commentary around expanding global reach . You've got the partner in Microsoft globally .

Speaker #10: What's the opportunity ? You see internationally broadly versus what's been a string of really strong quarters in the US . And maybe for Dave , how much investment do you think is needed either from a product standpoint or go to market side , given some of the partners you already have in place for that opportunity ?

Speaker #10: Thanks .

Speaker #3: Thanks , Alex . About 30% to a third of our business has been international . Historically , that has been a growing footprint around the world .

Speaker #3: We have a strong business in the UK . Obviously Australia , New Zealand , where we started , Canada where we started . But increasingly good footprint in continental Europe .

Speaker #3: The Nordics have done a lot recently. We opened a Singapore office last year. The team there, I just visited them this past quarter.

Speaker #3: Fantastic group of people that have brought on some incredible clients . A huge opportunity . There . I mentioned in our partner ecosystem , we've added more and more partners that help us reach into parts of the world that we haven't set ourselves up yet , the one we talked about here was a group that's helping us expand into the Spanish speaking countries .

Speaker #3: We're excited about that . We have a another recent partner that's come on board to help us with the Portuguese speaking countries . So I think there's a lot of opportunity for us to continue to move in that direction .

Speaker #3: And it's a it's a huge part of the Tam that we've just begun to kind of enter .

Speaker #4: Yeah . And then with respect to the incremental investment , Alex , you know , it's been pretty nominal . Thus far . You know , we don't need to get into things as localization or any arduous local statutory from where a lot of our clients serve .

Speaker #4: And so it's just a matter of , if anything , just the opportunity cost of us . You know , addressing so many respective opportunities within our salmon Tam .

Speaker #4: So it's just a matter of pacing and planning.

Speaker #10: Okay . Great color . Maybe just following up in terms of direct sales , hiring , you talked about some of the partner opportunity , but you talked about putting more wood behind the fire this year after some of the structural changes last year .

Speaker #10: Can you just help frame the magnitude of hiring plans this year versus maybe what you did last year ? Where are those sales resources going ?

Speaker #10: And then any color on the timing of the hiring plans this year.

Speaker #3: Sure. We are focused on growing the enterprise group that we announced at the beginning of Q1 2025. The organization there is really showing some traction.

Speaker #3: I talked about our land of one of the bulge bracket investment banks this quarter , which we were super excited to be able to do as a direct result of that organizational evolution and putting more density of the team against some of these really vast institutions .

Speaker #3: We are adding some capacity , continuing to do that during fiscal 25 , leading , I'm sorry , during fiscal 26 , leading into fiscal 27 .

Speaker #3: So, there's still an opportunity for us to continue to grow that footprint. We think that there is a large enterprise-class set of firms.

Speaker #3: And as I mentioned earlier in the call , they themselves are scaling through M&A or through hiring or in a very leveraged way through growth of revenue or assets under management .

Speaker #3: And there's a real opportunity for us to be the strategic vertical , specific , compliant AI generation technology partner for these growing enterprise class firms .

Speaker #3: So you're just going to hear more and more about what we're doing in that direction .

Speaker #10: Okay , great . Thank you both .

Speaker #1: Next question comes from the line of Steve Anders with Siri . Your line is open .

Speaker #11: Okay . Great . Thanks for thanks for taking the questions here . I want to ask on the Microsoft partnership . And appreciate the the call out for the large deal contribution .

Speaker #11: But I guess with Microsoft maybe how were the deals that are coming through that , that partnership ? How were they different ? Are they creating or unearthing newer opportunities that you weren't in before , or are they bigger or are they coming in faster ?

Speaker #11: Or just how do we kind of think about how Microsoft maybe changes some of those dynamics ? First , maybe what you would have seen historically ?

Speaker #3: Thanks , Steven . The relationship with Microsoft is an exciting one for us because they've got such an incredible relationship already with these firms .

Speaker #3: In our end market , they have a very strong relationship with it , and a lot of the firms have committed to Azure as if not the A core pillar of their cloud strategy .

Speaker #3: We have a relationship with Microsoft on multiple levels . There's a technology relationship strong and AI , and a lot of the collaboration capabilities that we brought to market over the past couple of years .

Speaker #3: We have a strong marketing relationship where we work with them and co-present and co-market to all of the clients in the marketplace. That really helps us.

Speaker #3: And then we have a co-selling relationship. There's a lot of components to that. One of them is that all of our offerings are available on the Azure Marketplace, so the firms can buy all of Intapp, Inc.'s platform through the Azure Marketplace, which has benefits for them under their Microsoft agreement.

Speaker #3: If they have a minimum , Azure contract , spend agreement , they can burn that down by buying Intapp, Inc. software through their Mac agreement .

Speaker #3: That helps us take the budget issue off the table in our sales , because they're already committed to spending X amount with the firms every year .

Speaker #3: We also are working with Microsoft on many accounts where they will provide Azure credit up front to incentivize the firms to move . That's really helped us in several situations .

Speaker #3: And just co-selling with Microsoft has helped us with wins competitively because people feel like we're really tied at the hip in a lot of these key technology areas that the firms need to integrate.

Speaker #3: And so that's helped us . And then the field , the Microsoft field gets quota relief when NetApp sells its products . So we have a growing person to person relationship across the field .

Speaker #3: And the Microsoft field when calling on these accounts . To your question , sometimes we are getting leads from those sellers at Microsoft .

Speaker #3: We're very excited about that. Sometimes we find opportunities with our direct force, but we can call the Microsoft seller, and they will come in and endorse us and co-sell with us.

Speaker #3: So it works in both directions . But overall , it's become a very collaborative process and we're very excited about the the influence that that's having on the funnel in terms of size and speed and deal size and win rate .

Speaker #3: It's great .

Speaker #11: Okay . That's that's great to hear and maybe to follow up just in terms of the , you know , I guess , margin , I mean , good to see the the operating margin beat this , beat this quarter .

Speaker #11: But I guess it doesn't look like it's, or not much is pulling through to the full year guide. Just to help us think through the factors that are being included in there.

Speaker #11: Or is there some timing dynamics or , you know , some some things , some investments , maybe getting pushed out this year ?

Speaker #4: We're continuing to invest in , you know , respectfully , our product innovation and go to market . We had a really good strong fc4 .

Speaker #4: We articulated that we were going to be a little bit front end loaded with some specific marketing events . We've had great success .

Speaker #4: In this first quarter . And so we're going to continue to invest in our in the motions that we've been demonstrating to the investment community .

Speaker #11: Okay . Great . Thanks for thanks for taking the questions .

Speaker #1: Next question comes from the line of Saket Kalia with Barclays . Your line is open .

Speaker #12: Okay , great . Hey guys , thanks for taking my questions and fitting me in here . David . Maybe . Maybe for you .

Speaker #12: Great to see the growth in cloud . Net new AR . Can you just talk about how much how much the on prem conversions are maybe contributing to that .

Speaker #12: And from the conversions that you have seen , what's the typical uplift that that you've been getting on those ?

Speaker #4: Yeah. So we're seeing about a 20% to 30% uplift just through more seats and/or the opportunities to continue to cross-sell.

Speaker #4: So once we get that moved over and contract compliance and all of that other dynamics settle in , and obviously we're delivering true value for that as well , because they are getting inherent different code set that offers a lot more product attributes .

Speaker #4: So that's one on the respectful cloud net AR from this past quarter . It wasn't that material . You know I think we're going to start seeing more as we continue on through this year .

Speaker #4: John talked about our time AI that we've been narrating here for the last two quarters, so we'll see a little bit of an acceleration there.

Speaker #4: You know , it is a heavy well , I should say it's a subcomponent of some of our respective sales teams to continue to move in that direction .

Speaker #4: And so we're we're really enticing the whole market to move in that direction .

Speaker #12: Got it . Actually that's that's a great segue into my follow up for for you , John . I mean , you're clearly adding more value to your cloud products with new with new AI capabilities in tap time , of course , was was one that we've talked about .

Speaker #12: What else is on the roadmap, or what else can you do to help drive that sort of conversion and that on-prem base?

Speaker #13: The .

Speaker #3: Progress in the time component of our platform has been awesome . There's a lot of enthusiasm . This is one of the areas , you know , as we've mentioned on the previous calls , most of our on prem businesses in legal because that's where the company started .

Speaker #3: And that's when we were still doing some on prem offerings for them . So that's really the focus of this migration program . And time is a key part of that .

Speaker #3: So we're really excited to see the progress in time this year . We've also kicked off a parallel project for all of the compliance capabilities that exist still on prem .

Speaker #3: In some parts of the legal market . So we've learned a lot of great stuff about how to get folks there successfully . And really , what are the AI capabilities that will get them to make the move ?

Speaker #3: And what style of ROI and what style of licensing , and how do you get the upsell ? All those lessons we've kind of developed now , and we're bringing that to the compliance group as well .

Speaker #3: It's an exciting time because there's so much opportunity in AI of various capabilities: generative AI and genetic AI. There's a lot of opportunity to bring real value to some of these core processes in our traditional compliance business, which is really a stronghold of the company and is so in demand for these firms.

Speaker #3: They need to make sure that the way they operate stays compliant with the regulatory obligations in their professional obligations and their client obligations.

Speaker #3: And it's just something we're really well known for . So we've been deliberate about how we sequence this , but that's what's coming next .

Speaker #12: Very helpful . Thanks .

Speaker #1: And our last question comes from the line of Brian Schwartz with Oppenheimer. Your line is open.

Speaker #14: Hi , this is Camden Levi sitting in for Brian Schwartz . Thank you for taking our question . If you think about the cloud GnRH of 121% and the customer expansion motion that you guys are seeing , have you seen the mix shift of the growth algorithm that's coming from product versus seat growth versus pricing change over the last couple quarters ?

Speaker #14: And from your perspective in F1 ? Q did any 1 or 2 products outperform plan , maybe outside of core Deal Cloud or Intapp, Inc. this that were big drivers of the SaaS beat ?

Speaker #14: Thank you .

Speaker #4: Hi . Yeah , just circling back . And I think even intimating on the first question , we had , if you think about the Gnrh-r , I probably the biggest change over the last 3 to 4 quarters with our enterprise motion has definitely been the cross-sell motion .

Speaker #4: We've always been doing very well on the upsell . More seats , but clearly as we continue to densify our enterprise accounts and provide the full breadth of offerings , we've seen a little bit tick up on the the cross-sell there .

Speaker #4: So, I would say that's probably one to note on that.

Speaker #14: Thank you . And then maybe just from a product perspective in F1 . Q did did anything dramatically outperform plan or were larger drivers of the software beat ?

Speaker #14: Thank you for taking our questions.

Speaker #3: You know , we've had good uptake across the board . The generic features in the cloud have been pulling the platform . And as we brought the capabilities out , obviously it's been a sequence over time .

Speaker #3: So we have more out there with Deal Cloud , which was the first one that we launched . But we are very excited about the uptake around assist for terms and this new time horizon release , with Gen AI .

Speaker #3: So there's a sequence there . So you can see a pattern that's pretty consistent with that . As we get more people up in the references run , we get more and more folks excited about doing it .

Speaker #3: And you'll continue to see that roll through the platform as we bring out more capabilities.

Speaker #1: That's a good question and answer session. I would like to turn the call back over to John Hall for closing remarks.

Speaker #3: Okay . Thank you . Thanks , everyone , for your questions and for the attention . We're excited about how we've done this quarter , and we're really looking forward to continuing this year .

Speaker #3: There's a lot of good progress happening . As you can see in the results . So we appreciate your time . And we're looking forward to talking to you again next quarter .
