Speaker #1: With that, I'll hand over the call to Sanjit.

Speaker #2: Thanks, Mike. And thank you, everyone, for joining us today. Samsara delivered a strong start to FY27 with another quarter of durable and efficient growth.

Speaker #2: We ended Q1 with nearly $2 billion in ARR, growing 30% year over year, and achieving our second or third consecutive quarter of GAAP EPS profitability.

Speaker #2: We added $101 million in net new ARR, also growing 30% year over year, or 27% in constant currency. Our largest customers continue to drive strong growth.

Speaker #2: We now have over $1.2 billion in ARR from our customers spending $100,000 or more growing 37% year over year, and accelerating for the third straight quarter.

Speaker #2: In Q1, we added $169 customers with $100,000 or more in ARR and 15 customers with $1 million or more in ARR. Large customer wins in the quarter include Hertz, one of the world's largest car rental companies; Foundation Building Materials; a leading North American specialty building materials distributor; the state of Connecticut; and one of the world's largest pizza companies.

Speaker #2: Over the past few months, I visited dozens of our top customers and prospects in North America and Europe. These operators are being asked to do more than ever, and they're turning to Samsara for help.

Speaker #2: Three themes emerged as consistent drivers of Samsara adoption. First, customers are scaling rapidly to meet surging global demand for infrastructure build-out and need technology that can grow with them.

Speaker #2: Second, customers are expanding across our platform. They're adding Samsara's emerging products to further digitize their operations and unlock savings well beyond their core product deployments.

Speaker #2: And third, interest in operational AI and agents continues to grow rapidly. Although most operators are still very early in their adoption journey. Our customers are building the infrastructure for the global economy.

Speaker #2: For decades, technology investment flowed primarily into the world of bits. Software, data, and digital workflows. The next wave is a transition from bits to atoms.

Speaker #2: Applying AI and intelligent systems to the physical world of vehicles, equipment, job sites, and frontline workers. Our customers are at the center of this transition.

Speaker #2: They are asset-heavy, labor-intensive operators in critical industries. And they spend about 80% of their revenue on operating costs. As their operations scale, so does the number of physical assets and frontline workers they manage.

Speaker #2: Today, they're seeing extraordinary demand driven by a few tailwinds. That build-out of AI and data centers is driving massive investment across the physical economy.

Speaker #2: Supporting that build-out requires new power generation, energy systems, cooling infrastructure, and grid and transmission capacity. Additionally, governments are investing in the modernization of aging public infrastructure and private enterprises are transforming their operations to meet growing customer demand.

Speaker #2: We believe these tailwinds are only accelerating. According to McKinsey, addressing the global need for new and improved infrastructure will require roughly $106 trillion in investment by 2040.

Speaker #2: Samsara's customers are at the center of this build-out. And we believe this opportunity will only grow in the years ahead. Companies in the world's most critical industries are choosing Samsara's connected operations platform to improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of their operations.

Speaker #2: As they scale, so does the need for real-time visibility and actionable insights, which is driving more of them to standardize on Samsara. I'd like to share an example of one of our new customers from the quarter whose operating at the center of today's infrastructure build-out.

Speaker #2: In Q1, we partnered with a global engineering, architecture, and environmental consulting firm with more than 34,000 employees. They're using Samsara to connect and manage their diverse fleet and assets through a single platform.

Speaker #2: With Samsara's telematics, they're connecting their heavy-duty trucks, medium and light-duty vehicles, and passenger cars across the US and Canada. They're also using asset tags to track and monitor non-vehicle assets, including trailers, marine vessels, ATVs, and field equipment.

Speaker #1: They're at the center of this transition. They're asset-heavy, labor-intensive operators in critical industries, and they spend about 80% of their revenue on operating costs. As their operations scale, so does the number of physical assets and frontline workers they manage.

Speaker #1: Today, they're seeing extraordinary demand driven by AI, and data centers are driving massive investment across the physical economy. Supporting that build-out requires new power generation, energy systems, cooling infrastructure, and grid and transmission capacity.

Speaker #2: Together, these applications provide them with one operational view across distributed projects and unlock new workflow capabilities. For example, they're using Samsara to power an operational billing workflow that tracks vehicle usage by driver, project, and business versus personal use.

Speaker #1: Additionally, governments are investing in the modernization of aging public infrastructure, and private enterprises are transforming their operations to meet growing customer demand. We believe these tailwinds are only accelerating.

Speaker #2: This helps them build project mileage back to clients and support tax reporting requirements. They're also deploying driver behavior detection, in-cab coaching, and broader safety score improvements.

Speaker #1: According to McKinsey, addressing the global need for new and improved infrastructure will require roughly $106 trillion in investment by 2040. Samsara's customers are at the center of this build-out, and we believe this opportunity will only grow in the years ahead.

Speaker #2: We believe Samsara will help them reduce operational costs by up to 10% within 18 months. We're proud of the impact we're making together with our customers.

Sanjit Biswas: Samsara's customers are at the center of this build-out, and we believe this opportunity will only grow in the years ahead.

The average age of light-duty vehicles has increased from 11.5 years to 12.8 years over the past decade, and the parts and labor costs have risen 27% since 2020.

Speaker #2: They manage a mixed fleet of tractors, trailers, and refrigerated units across distribution centers nationwide. Their legacy maintenance system didn't integrate with their vehicle data, forcing teams to rely on manual processes.

Speaker #1: Connected asset maintenance is one area where we're seeing this play out today. Our customers typically manage tens of thousands of vehicles and assets that degrade over time.

Speaker #2: They chose Samsara's connected asset maintenance to replace that system and unify their entire maintenance operation on one platform. With telematics and asset gateways already deployed, fault codes and inspection reports now automatically trigger work early and reduce unplanned downtime across their temperature-sensitive supply chain.

Speaker #1: Maintenance is one of their largest cost centers, consuming an average of 10% of operational budgets. The average age of light-duty vehicles has increased from 11.5 years to 12.8 years over the past decade.

Speaker #1: And the parts and labor costs have risen 27% since 2020. Yet many organizations still rely on outdated pen-and-paper systems that waste time, increase costs, and fail to provide the insights they need to stay ahead of equipment failures.

Speaker #2: They're building out their full maintenance operation on Samsara from preventative maintenance, scheduling, to work orders, to vendor management, parts inventory, and AI invoice scanning.

Sanjit Biswas: Yet many organizations still rely on outdated pen and paper systems that waste time, increase costs, and fail to provide the insights they need to stay ahead of equipment failures.

I consistently hear from customers that one of their biggest constraints on growth is worker capacity. The number of frontline workers required scales directly with revenue, and with turnover rates of 40% to 50%, that's a direct drag on capacity.

Speaker #2: And so are our customers. But the early results are compelling. And we see this as one of the most important areas of investment for Samsara in the years ahead.

Speaker #1: Warranty recovery and total cost of ownership tracking rounded out with a complete financial picture of every asset. They're a great example of how customers are expanding beyond Samsara's core products to digitize their operations and achieve more savings.

Speaker #2: I'd like to highlight the impact of waste intelligence, which helps customers increase revenue and ground intelligence, which helps them reduce operating costs. Waste management companies are missing revenue opportunities, struggling with worker capacity constraints, and spending hours manually resolving service disputes.

Speaker #2: New damage is captured immediately after storms or freeze-thaw cycles rather than waiting for outdated pavement surveys, giving our customers a continuously updated picture of road conditions before anyone leaves the yard.

Speaker #1: I'd like to highlight the impact of waste intelligence, which helps customers increase revenue and ground intelligence, which helps them reduce operating costs. Waste management companies are missing revenue opportunities, struggling with worker capacity constraints, and spending hours manually resolving service disputes.

Speaker #2: This turns a reactive, complaint-driven process into a proactive data-driven one, eliminating guesswork and allowing teams to fix more potholes per shift. It has been an exciting start of the fiscal year.

We look forward to seeing many of you at our customer conference, Beyond, which is taking place from 23 June to 26 June in Las Vegas. At Beyond, we bring together leaders across industries to share learnings on digitization and the future of Connected Operations. We will also be hosting an Investor Day on 24 June. We hope you can join us. I'll now hand it over to Dominic to go over the financial highlights for the quarter.

Speaker #2: Looking ahead, we're well positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value for several key reasons. First, we have a unique defensible data advantage. By instrumenting physical assets with IoT hardware, we've created a large, growing proprietary data asset that cannot be easily replicated.

Speaker #1: We're grateful to partner with our customers as they modernize their operations and build the infrastructure the world depends on. We look forward to seeing many of you at our customer conference, Beyond, which is taking place from June 23rd to 26th in Las Vegas.

Speaker #2: Second, we leverage this data using AI and agents to surface operational insights and automate workflows across our platform. Third, we have exposure to secular growth in physical AI.

Speaker #1: At Beyond, we bring together leaders across industries to share learnings on digitization and the future of connected operations. We will also be hosting an investor day on June 24.

Speaker #2: The AI transition from bits to atoms is underway. And Samsara is at the center of it. End markets such as construction, field services, energy, and utilities are not only benefiting from building out global infrastructure, they're increasingly using AI to manage greater scale and complexity.

Speaker #1: We hope you can join us. I'll now hand it over to Dominic to go over the financial highlights for the quarter.

Speaker #2: Thank you, Sanjit. Q1 was another quarter of leverage, highlighted by strong performance, including 30% year-over-year net new ARR growth, or 27% in constant currency—our second highest growth rate over the past nine quarters—leading to 30% total ARR growth, which was the same growth rate as last quarter at a larger scale.

Dominic Phillips: Thank you, Sanjit. Q1 was another quarter of accelerating growth and improved operating leverage, highlighted by strong performance across several key metrics, including 30% year-over-year net new ARR growth or 27% in constant currency, our second highest growth rate over the past nine quarters, leading to 30% total ARR growth, which was the same growth rate as last quarter at a larger scale. 31% year-over-year revenue growth or 29% in constant currency, accelerating sequentially at a larger scale. 37% year-over-year ARR growth for 100K-plus customers, the third consecutive quarter of sequential acceleration, and 62% year-over-year ARR growth for $1 million-plus customers, the fourth consecutive quarter of sequential acceleration. Finally, achieving our third consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability. More broadly, our performance reflects the large, still nascent opportunity for digital transformation across physical operations. Looking ahead, we're well-positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value for several key reasons.

Speaker #2: The stock price performance of our top 100 public customers is up more than 30% over the past year. Fourth, we have a differentiated value prop and mission-critical workflows.

Speaker #2: Our products deliver fast, tangible ROI with quick payback periods. And lastly, we target the large, less discretionary operations budget. Our customers invest approximately 80% of their revenue in managing their operations, and we help them optimize the significant cost base creating a large opportunity to drive customer impact and sustain long-term growth.

Speaker #2: 31% year-over-year revenue growth, or 29% in constant currency, accelerating sequentially at a larger scale; 37% year-over-year ARR growth for $100K+ customers—the third consecutive quarter of sequential acceleration; and 62% year-over-year ARR growth for $1 million+ customers—the fourth consecutive quarter of sequential acceleration. And finally, achieving our third consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability.

Speaker #2: OK, now turning to our results. Q1 net new ARR was 101 million, an increase of 30% year-over-year, or 27% in constant currency, our second highest growth rate over the past nine quarters.

Speaker #2: More broadly, our performance reflects the large, still nascent opportunity for digital transformation across physical operations. Looking ahead, we're well positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value for several key reasons.

Speaker #2: More broadly, net new ARR over the last 12 months was 455 million, growing 27% year-over-year, or the fourth consecutive quarter. Q1 ending ARR was approximately $2 billion, an increase of 30% year-over-year, representing the same growth rate as last quarter.

Speaker #2: First, large customer momentum is leading to higher growth at scale. In terms of large deals, we signed 11 $1 million plus net new ACV transactions in Q1, our second highest quarter ever.

Speaker #2: This reflects the success of our R&D and go-to-market investments to support these larger customer opportunities. In terms of large customers, we ended Q1 with 3,363 $100K plus ARR customers, including a quarterly increase of 169.

Speaker #2: The stock price performance of our top 100 public customers is up more than 30% over the past year. Fourth, we have a differentiated value proposition and mission-critical workflows.

Dominic Phillips: Fourth, we have a differentiated value prop in mission-critical workflows. Our products deliver fast, tangible ROI with quick payback periods. Lastly, we target the large, less discretionary operations budget. Our customers invest approximately 80% of their revenue in managing their operations, and we help them optimize the significant cost base, creating a large opportunity to drive customer impact and sustain long-term growth. Okay, now turning to our results. Q1 net new ARR was $101 million, an increase of 30% year-over-year or 27% in constant currency, our second highest growth rate over the past nine quarters. More broadly, net new ARR over the last 12 months was $455 million, growing 27% year-over-year or 25% in constant currency, accelerating for the fourth consecutive quarter.

Q1 revenue was $479 million, an increase of 31% year-over-year or 29% in constant currency, accelerating sequentially at a larger scale.

Speaker #2: Additionally, we ended Q1 with 190 $1 million plus ARR customers, a quarterly increase of 15. ARR from $1 million plus customers increased 62% year-over-year, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of sequential acceleration at a larger scale.

Speaker #2: Okay, now turning to our results. Q1 net new ARR was $101 million, an increase of 30% year-over-year, or 27% in constant currency—our second highest growth rate over the past nine quarters.

Speaker #2: More broadly, net new ARR over the last 12 months was $455 million, growing 27% year-over-year, or 25% in constant currency, accelerating for the fourth consecutive quarter.

Speaker #2: Second, our customers are increasingly using Samsara as a single unified operations platform across multiple applications. 96% of 100K plus ARR customers subscribe to two or more products, and 70% subscribe to three or more.

Speaker #2: Q1 ending ARR was approximately $2 billion, an increase of 30% year-over-year, representing the same growth rate as last quarter. Q1 revenue was $479 million, an increase of 31% year-over-year, or 29% in constant currency, accelerating sequentially at a larger scale.

Dominic Phillips: Q1 ending ARR was approximately $2 billion, an increase of 30% year-over-year, representing the same growth rate as last quarter. Q1 revenue was $479 million, an increase of 31% year-over-year or 29% in constant currency, accelerating sequentially at a larger scale. Several factors drove our strong top-line performance in Q1. First, large customer momentum is leading to higher growth at scale. In terms of large deals, we signed 11 $1-million-plus net new ACV transactions in Q1, our second highest quarter ever.

Speaker #2: In Q1, nine of the top 10 net new ACV deals included two or more products, and four included four or more products. In Q1, we deepened our partnership with the world's largest food service distributor.

Speaker #2: Several factors drove our strong top-line performance in Q1. First, large customer momentum is leading to higher growth at scale. In terms of large deals, we signed 11 $1 million plus net new ACV transactions in Q1, our second highest quarter ever.

ARR from $1-million-plus customers increased 62% year-over-year, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of sequential acceleration at a larger scale.

Speaker #2: Since adopting Samsara's AI video-based safety solution in 2018, this customer has completed 20 expansions. This quarter, the company took a significant step forward by replacing its incumbent telematics provider with Samsara, and adding asset gateways, commercial navigation, and connected workflows.

Speaker #2: This reflects the success of our R&D and go-to-market investments to support these larger customer opportunities. In terms of large customers, we ended Q1 with 3,363 $100K-plus ARR customers, including a quarterly increase of 169.

Additionally, we ended Q1 with 190 $1-million-plus ARR customers, a quarterly increase of 15. ARR from $1-million-plus customers increased 62% year-over-year, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of sequential acceleration at a larger scale.

Speaker #2: Becoming a five-product customer. These solutions will help their operators navigate smarter, digitize fieldwork, and deliver better on-time performance across its massive distribution network. And strong multi-product adoption like this helped us achieve our target dollar-based net retention rate of approximately 115% for core customers.

Speaker #2: ARR from $100K-plus customers was $1.2 billion, increasing 37% year-over-year, resulting in the third consecutive quarter of sequential acceleration. $100K-plus customers represent 62% of total ARR, up from 58% one year ago and 56% two years ago.

Speaker #2: And third, we demonstrated strong execution across several frontiers. In terms of emerging products, for the second consecutive quarter, more than 20% of our net new ACV came from emerging products.

Speaker #2: Seven of the top 10 net new ACV transactions included an emerging product, 42 transactions included more than 100K in emerging product net new ACV, and we signed our largest ever connected asset maintenance deal with Hertz, one of the world's largest car rental and mobility solutions providers, and a software-only deployment across their North American vehicle fleet.

Dominic Phillips: Second, our customers are increasingly using Samsara as a single unified operations platform across multiple applications. 96% of 100,000-plus ARR customers subscribe to two or more products, and 70% subscribe to three or more. In Q1, nine of the top 10 net new ACV deals included two or more products, and four included four or more products. In Q1, we deepened our partnership with the world's largest food service distributor. Since adopting Samsara's AI Video-Based Safety solution in 2018, this customer has completed 20 expansions. This quarter, the company took a significant step forward by replacing its incumbent telematics provider with Samsara and adding Asset Gateways, Commercial Navigation, and Connected Workflows, becoming a five-product customer. These solutions will help their operators navigate smarter, digitize fieldwork, and deliver better on-time performance across its massive distribution network.

Speaker #2: In terms of end markets, wholesale and retail trade was our largest vertical in Q1, contributing its second highest ever net new ACV mix and the third consecutive quarter of sequential growth acceleration.

Speaker #2: In Q1, nine of the top 10 net new ACV deals included two or more products and four included four or more products. In Q1, we deepened our partnership with the world's largest food service distributor.

Speaker #2: And construction contributed the second highest net new ACV mix in the quarter. And in terms of international, 18% of net new ACV came from non-US geographies, tied for a quarterly record.

Speaker #2: Since adopting Samsara's AI video-based safety solution in 2018, this customer has completed 20 expansions. This quarter, the company took a significant step forward by replacing its incumbent telematics provider with Samsara and adding asset gateways, commercial navigation, and connected workflows, becoming a five-product customer.

Speaker #2: Europe contributed a record amount of net new ACV mix and landed its largest new logo win to date with a leading UK grocery retailer.

Speaker #2: And Canada net new ACV growth accelerated sequentially for the second consecutive quarter, resulting in its highest net new ACV mix in the last eight quarters.

Speaker #2: These solutions will help their operators navigate smarter, digitize fieldwork, and deliver better on-time performance across their massive distribution network. Strong multi-product adoption like this helped us achieve our target dollar-based net retention rate of approximately 115% for core customers.

Speaker #2: In addition to driving strong top-line growth, we continued to deliver operating leverage across our business as we scale. Non-gap operating margin was 19% in Q1, up 5 percentage points year-over-year.

Dominic Phillips: Strong multi-product adoption like this helped us achieve our target dollar-based net retention rate of approximately 115% for core customers. Third, we demonstrated strong execution across several frontiers. In terms of emerging products, for the second consecutive quarter, more than 20% of our net new ACV came from emerging products. Seven of the top 10 net new ACV transactions included an emerging product, 42 transactions included more than $100,000 in emerging product net new ACV, and we signed our largest ever Connected Asset Maintenance deal with Hertz, one of the world's largest car rental and mobility solutions providers, in a software-only deployment across their North American vehicle fleet. In terms of end markets, wholesale and retail trade was our largest vertical in Q1, contributing its second-highest ever net new ACV mix and the third consecutive quarter of sequential growth acceleration.

Speaker #2: Free cash up 3 percentage points year-over-year, including the 15th consecutive quarter surpassing Rule of 40. And gap EPS was a positive 8 cents, representing our third consecutive quarter of gap EPS profitability.

Speaker #2: And third, we demonstrated strong execution across several frontiers. In terms of emerging products, more than 20% of our net new ACV came from emerging products.

Speaker #2: This included a $30 million arbitration award from one of our lawsuits against Motive for claims of breach of contract, fraud, unfair competition, and false advertising.

Speaker #2: Seven of the top ten net new ACV transactions included an emerging product. Forty-two transactions included more than $100K in emerging product net new ACV. We also signed our largest-ever Connected Asset Maintenance deal with Hertz, one of the world's largest car rental and mobility solutions providers, in a software-only deployment across their North American vehicle fleet.

Speaker #2: And gap EPS would still be positive excluding this award. OK, now turning to Q2 and FY27 guidance based on FX rates as of May 2.

Speaker #2: Our guidance philosophy remains the same and is de-risked for potential downside scenarios. For Q2, we expect revenue to be between $482 and $484 million, representing 23% to to 24% year-over-year growth, or 22% to 23% growth in constant currency.

Speaker #2: In terms of end markets, vertical in Q1 contributed its second highest-ever net new ACV mix and the third consecutive quarter of sequential growth acceleration.

Speaker #2: And construction contributed the second highest net new ACV mix in the quarter. And in terms of international, 18% of net new ACV came from non-US geographies tied for a quarterly record.

Dominic Phillips: Construction contributed the second-highest net new ACV mix in the quarter. In terms of international, 18% of net new ACV came from non-US geographies, tied for a quarterly record. Europe contributed a record amount of net new ACV mix and landed its largest new logo win to date with a leading UK grocery retailer. Canada net new ACV growth accelerated sequentially for the second consecutive quarter, resulting in its highest net new ACV mix in the last 8 quarters. In addition to driving strong top-line growth, we continued to deliver operating leverage across our business as we scale. Non-GAAP operating margin was 19% in Q1, up 5 percentage points year over year. Free cash flow margin was 15%, up 3 percentage points year over year, including the 15th consecutive quarter surpassing Rule of 40.

Speaker #2: Non-gap operating margin to be 18%. Non-gap EPS to be between 15% and 16 cents. And we expect to be gap profitable for Q2. For full-year FY27, we expect revenue to be between $2.005 and $2.013 billion, representing 24% year-over-year growth, or 23% to 24% growth in constant currency.

Speaker #2: Europe contributed a record amount of net new ACV mix and landed its largest new logo win to date with a leading UK grocery retailer.

Speaker #2: And Canada net new ACV growth accelerated sequentially for the second consecutive quarter, resulting in its highest net new ACV mix in the last eight quarters.

Speaker #2: Non-gap operating margin to be 20%. Non-gap EPS to be between 70% and 72 cents. And we also expect to be gap profitable FY27. Finally, please see the additional modeling notes in our shareholder letter.

Speaker #2: In addition to driving strong top-line growth, we continue to deliver operating leverage across our business as we scale. Non-gap operating margin was 19% in Q1, up 5 percentage points year-over-year.

Speaker #2: To wrap up, in Q1, we delivered accelerating growth at scale while expanding operating leverage. Looking ahead, we believe we're well-positioned to sustain durable and efficient growth because we instrument physical assets with IoT hardware to generate a unique defensible data asset, we then harness that data with AI to surface operational insights and automate workflows driving more customer value, we're at the center of the AI transition from the digital to the physical world, and tied to end markets benefiting from major infrastructure initiatives, and we deliver fast, tangible customer ROI with quick payback periods.

Speaker #2: Free cash flow margin was 15%, up 3 percentage points year over year, including the 15th consecutive quarter surpassing the Rule of 40. And GAAP EPS was a positive $0.08, representing our third consecutive quarter of GAAP EPS profitability.

Dominic Phillips: GAAP EPS was +$0.08, representing our third consecutive quarter of GAAP EPS profitability. This included a $30 million arbitration award from one of our lawsuits against Motive for claims of breach of contract fraud, unfair competition, and false advertising. GAAP EPS would still be +excluding this award. Okay. Now turning to Q2 and FY27 guidance based on FX rates as of 02 May. Our guidance philosophy remains the same and is de-risked for potential downside scenarios. For Q2, we expect revenue to be between $482 to 484 million, representing 23% to 24% year-over-year growth or 22% to 23% growth in constant currency, non-GAAP operating margin to be 18%, non-GAAP EPS to be between $0.15 and $0.16. We expect to be GAAP profitable for Q2.

Speaker #2: This included a $30 million arbitration award from one of our lawsuits against Motive for claims of breach of contract, fraud, unfair competition, and false advertising.

Speaker #2: And gap EPS would still be positive excluding this award. Okay, now turning to Q2 and FY27 guidance based on FX rates as of May 2nd.

Speaker #2: We look forward to building on this momentum as we help our customers operate more safely, efficiently, and sustainably at a greater scale. And with that, I'll hand it over to Mike to moderate Q&A.

Speaker #2: Our guidance philosophy remains the same and is de-risked for potential downside scenarios. For Q2, we expect revenue to be between $482 and $484 million representing 23% to to 24% year-over-year growth or 22% to 23% growth in constant currency.

Speaker #1: Thanks, Dominic. We'll now open lineup for questions. When it's your turn, please let me your questions to one main question, and one follow-up question.

Speaker #1: The first question today comes from Derrick Wood with TD Cowen. Followed by Alex Zukin with Wolf Research.

Speaker #2: Non-GAAP operating margin to be 18%. Non-GAAP EPS to be between $0.15 and $0.16. And we expect to be GAAP profitable for Q2. For full-year FY27, we expect revenue to be between $2.005 and $2.013 billion, representing 24% year-over-year growth, or 23% to 24% growth in constant currency.

Speaker #3: Great. Thanks, guys. Congrats on another great quarter. I guess I'll start with kind of interesting to hear of a secular trend around customers shifting from time-based and mileage-based maintenance schedules to one that's more data-driven.

Dominic Phillips: For full-year FY27, we expect revenue to be between $2.005 billion and $2.013 billion, representing 24% year-over-year growth or 23% to 24% growth in constant currency, non-GAAP operating margin to be 20%, non-GAAP EPS to be between $0.70 and $0.72, and we also expect to be GAAP profitable for full-year FY27. Finally, please see the additional modeling notes in our shareholder letter. To wrap up, in Q1, we delivered accelerating growth at scale while expanding operating leverage. Looking ahead, we believe we're well-positioned to sustain durable and efficient growth because we instrument physical assets with IoT hardware to generate a unique defensible data asset. We then harness that data with AI to surface operational insights and automate workflows, driving more customer value.

Speaker #3: How would you characterize where the market is today in this journey, and how you think it's going to play out over the next few years?

Speaker #2: Non-GAAP operating margin to be 20%. Non-GAAP EPS to be between $0.70 and $0.72, profitable for full-year FY27. Finally, please see the additional modeling notes in our shareholder letter.

Speaker #3: And maybe give us a sense as to what percentage of your addressable base is using Samsara Connected Asset Management today?

Speaker #1: Sure. So I think this move from time and mileage-based to data-driven, it's still early. Many of the most sophisticated fleets see the value in it because they're either over-maintaining or under-maintaining their assets.

Speaker #2: To wrap up, in Q1 we delivered accelerating growth at scale while expanding operating leverage. Looking ahead, we believe we're well-positioned to sustain durable and efficient growth because we instrument physical assets with IoT hardware to generate a unique, defensible data asset. We then harness that data with AI to surface operational insights and automate workflows, driving more customer value. We're at the center of the AI transition from the digital to the physical world and tied to end markets benefiting from major infrastructure initiatives. We deliver fast, tangible customer ROI with quick payback periods.

Speaker #1: They've known that. We now have the data to help them make smarter operational decisions. But if you step back, it is still pretty early in that kind of transition or adoption curve.

Speaker #1: And that also reflects we've only been offering this product for a few quarters now. So we're excited to see this initial growth, the deal with Hertz was exciting one as well.

Dominic Phillips: We are at the center of the AI transition from the digital to the physical world and tied to end markets benefiting from major infrastructure initiatives, and we deliver fast, tangible customer ROI with quick payback periods. We look forward to building on this momentum as we help our customers operate more safely, efficiently, and sustainably at a greater scale. With that, I'll hand it over to Mike to moderate Q&A.

Speaker #1: But it's still early days for connected asset maintenance. As a reminder, all of these physical operations, they operate in asset-heavy industries. All of those assets need maintenance.

Speaker #1: So that's the opportunity we see ahead.

Speaker #3: Great. That's exciting. And then maybe Dom, one for you, just on gross margin. It was down 200 BEPS year-on-year. Sounds like some of this is due to AI investments.

Speaker #1: Thanks, Dominic. We'll now open the line up for questions. Once it's your turn, please limit your questions to one main question and one follow-up question. The first question today comes from Derek Wood with TD Cowen.

Mike Chang: Thanks, Dominic. We will now open line up for questions. When it is your turn, please limit your questions to one main question and one follow-up question. The first question today comes from Derrick Wood with TD Cowen, followed by Alex Zukin with Wolfe Research.

Speaker #3: Can you double-click on where this is coming from exactly? And then, of course, we get questions on memory prices and how that may be having any impact.

Speaker #1: Followed by Alex Zukin with Wolfe Research.

Speaker #3: Do you guys on gross margins or cash flow? So anything to flag on that side as well. Thanks.

Speaker #3: Great. Thanks, guys. Congrats on another great quarter. I guess I'll start—it's kind of interesting to hear about a secular trend around customers shifting from time-based and mileage-based maintenance schedules to ones that are more data-driven.

Derrick Wood: Great. Thanks, guys. Congrats on another great quarter. I guess I'll start with, kind of interesting to hear of a secular trend around customers shifting from time-based and mileage-based maintenance schedules to one that's more data-driven. How would you characterize where the market is today in this journey and how you think it's going to play out over the next few years? Maybe give us a sense as to what percentage of your addressable base is using Samsara Connected Asset Maintenance today.

Speaker #1: Yeah, sure. So we are spending more money on AI and cloud really to drive more products and features. We expect to be able to offset some of those added costs with other COGS-related optimizations as well as OPEX reallocation in the form of go-to-market R&D.

Speaker #3: How would you characterize where the market is today in this journey, and how you think it's going to play out over the next few years?

Speaker #1: And primarily in G&A. G&A had 5 percentage points of year-over-year improvement, so we were able to deploy some of that into COGS as well.

Speaker #3: And maybe give us a sense as to what percentage of your addressable base is using Samsara Connected Asset Management today?

Speaker #1: We think that we're going to be able to keep gross margin, as I say, roughly flat for FY27. And really, we're going to show more leverage on the operating margin side.

Speaker #1: Sure. So I think this move from time- and mileage-based to data-driven is still early. Many of the most sophisticated fleets see the value in it because they're either over-maintaining or under-maintaining their assets.

Sanjit Biswas: Sure. I think this move from time and mileage-based to data-driven, it's still early. Many of the most sophisticated fleets see the value in it because they're either over-maintaining or under-maintaining their assets. They've known that. We now have the data to help them make smarter operational decisions. If you step back, it is still pretty early in that kind of transition or adoption curve. That also reflects we've only been offering this product for a few quarters now. We're excited to see this initial growth. The deal with Hertz was an exciting one as well. It's still early days for Connected Asset Maintenance. As a reminder, all these physical operations, they operate in asset-heavy industries. All of those assets need maintenance, so that's the opportunity we see ahead.

Speaker #1: And so we beat our Q1 operating margin guidance, and we were able to raise for the full year from 19% to 20% as well.

Speaker #1: They've known that. We now have the data to help them make smarter operational decisions. But if you step back, it is still pretty early in that kind of transition or adoption curve.

Speaker #1: Great. The next question comes from Alex Zukin with Wolf Research, followed by Chris Quintero with Morgan Stanley.

Speaker #1: And that also reflects that we've only been offering this product for a few quarters now, so we're excited to see this initial growth. The deal with Hertz was an exciting one as well.

Speaker #4: Yeah, hey, guys. Thanks for taking the question. Sanjit, maybe the first one for you. It's pretty exciting, honestly, to see this new foray into visual intelligence.

Speaker #1: But it's still early days for connected asset maintenance. As a reminder, all of these physical operations operate in asset-heavy industries. All of those assets need maintenance.

Speaker #4: I think it's pretty clear how infusing AI into your platform, leveraging all of the strategic data assets that you've been assembling for years, is clearly going to pay off.

Speaker #1: So that's the opportunity we see ahead.

Speaker #3: Great. That's exciting. And there may be one for you just on gross margin. It was down 200 BEPS year on year. Sounds like some of this is due to AI investments.

Derrick Wood: Great. That's exciting. Maybe, Dom, one for you, just on gross margin was down 200 bps year-on-year. Sounds like some of this is due to AI investments. Can you double-click on where this is coming from exactly? Of course, we get questions on memory prices and how that may be having any impact to you guys on gross margins or cash flow. Anything to flag on that side as well? Thanks.

Speaker #4: So maybe just a simple question. How are you going to be charging for these tools? When will we start these products? When will we start to see them actually show up in the ACV from new products?

Speaker #3: Can you double-click on where this is coming from exactly? And then, of course, we get questions on memory prices and how that may be having any impact.

Speaker #4: And kind of maybe just stack rank where you expect to see some of the most momentum between the three. And then I've got a quick follow-up, Dom, for you.

Speaker #3: Do you guys focus on gross margins or cash flow? Is there anything to flag on that side as well? Thanks.

Speaker #1: Sure. So I think we're excited about visual intelligence as well. We treat these cameras as sensors, and there's just tremendous amounts of value out there.

Speaker #1: Yeah, sure. So, we are spending more money on AI and cloud, really to drive more products and features. We expect to be able to offset some of those added costs with other COGS-related optimizations, as well as OPEX reallocation in the form of go-to-market, R&D, and primarily in G&A.

Dominic Phillips: Yeah, sure. We are spending more money on AI and cloud really to drive more products and features. We expect to be able to offset some of those added costs with other COGS-related optimizations as well as OpEx reallocation in the form of go-to-market R&D, and primarily in G&A. G&A had 5 percentage points of year-over-year improvements. We were able to deploy some of that into COGS as well. We think that we're going to be able to keep gross margins, let's say, roughly flat for FY27, and really, we're going to show more leverage on the operating margin side. We beat our Q1 operating margin guidance, and we were able to raise for the full year from 19% to 20% as well.

Speaker #1: For some of these products, like waste intelligence, these are essentially additional SKUs. They get priced alongside of our existing products. So it's quite simple for the customer to budget for them and adopt them.

Speaker #1: There are others that are priced like the road intelligence product that are priced on a per-mile basis. Which is a data-only offering. So we're experimenting with these different pricing models.

Speaker #1: G&A had 5 percentage points of that into COGS as well. We think that we're going to be able to keep gross margins, I'd say, roughly flat for FY27 and really we're going to show more leverage on the operating margin side.

Speaker #1: And then as we think towards things like agents, we do expect to, at some point, offer a consumption-based model. We need to test this pricing and make sure it works well with our customers.

Speaker #1: And so we beat our Q1 operating margin guidance. And we were able to raise for the full year from 19% to 20% as well.

Speaker #1: But that aligns the value they're getting and our costs with how they adopt it. So we're excited about that. To answer the second part of your question around which ones are we most excited about, I think we're going to see how they perform in the market.

Derrick Wood: Thank you.

Speaker #1: Great. The next question comes from Alex Zukin with Wolf Research, followed by Chris Quintero with Morgan Stanley.

Mike Chang: Great. The next question comes from Alex Zukin with Wolfe Research, followed by Chris Quintero with Morgan Stanley.

Speaker #1: Like I said earlier, there's a tremendous amount of value around each of these areas. It's hard for us to predict exactly. But the beta's have been really strong.

Speaker #4: Yeah. Hey, guys, thanks for taking the question. Sanjit, maybe the first one for you. It's pretty exciting, honestly, to see this new foray into visual intelligence.

Alex Zukin: Yeah. Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the question. Sanjit, maybe the first one for you. It's pretty exciting, honestly, to see this new foray into visual intelligence. I think it's pretty clear how infusing AI into your platform, leveraging all of the strategic data assets that you've been assembling for years is clearly going to pay off. Maybe just a simple question, how are you going to be charging for these tools? These products, when will we start to see them actually show up in the ACV from new products? Kind of maybe just stack rank where you expect to see some of the most momentum between the three. I've got a quick follow-up, Dom, for you.

Speaker #1: Customer feedback's been really positive. So we're excited to get these out there.

Speaker #4: Excellent. And Dom, for you, the net new ARR figure in Q1 was pretty incredible. All your larger cohorts are growing even faster. So was there anything unusual about the quarter?

Speaker #4: I think it's pretty clear how infusing AI into your platform, leveraging all of the strategic data assets that you've been assembling for years, is clearly going to pay off.

Speaker #4: It seems like you went out of your way to kind of pass through a stronger raise than ever from a revenue perspective for the year.

Speaker #4: So maybe just a simple question: How are you going to be charging for these tools? When will we see these products? When will we start to see them actually show up in the ACV from new products?

Speaker #4: And I think you put a comment about the largest customer stock performance. So maybe just connect those dots to the message you're trying to send with your guide here today.

Speaker #4: And kind of maybe just stack-rank where you expect to see some of the most momentum between the three? And then I've got a quick follow-up for you.

Speaker #1: Yeah. Well, we were able to pass through not only the Q1 revenue beat, but then which was like 23 million dollars. And then an extra kind of, I think, 19 on top of that are getting to 39 for the overall revenue guidance.

Speaker #1: Sure. So, I think we're excited about visual intelligence as well. We treat these cameras as sensors, and there's just tremendous amounts of value out there.

Sanjit Biswas: Sure. I think we're excited about visual intelligence as well. We treat these cameras as sensors, and there's just tremendous amounts of value out there. For some of these products, like Waste Intelligence, these are essentially additional SKUs that get priced alongside of our existing product. It's quite simple for the customer to budget for them and adopt them. There are others that are priced, like the Ground Intelligence product, that are priced on a per mile basis, which is a data-only offering. We're experimenting with these different pricing models. Then as we think towards things like agents, we do expect to, at some point, offer a consumption-based model. We need to test this pricing and make sure it works well with our customers, but that aligns the value they're getting and our costs with how they adopt it. We're excited about that.

Speaker #1: So we clearly feel good about the momentum that we're seeing. Nothing really stands out as kind of one-time in nature in Q1 this year.

Speaker #1: For some of these products, like Waste Intelligence, these are essentially additional SKUs. They get priced alongside our existing product, so it's quite simple for the customer to budget for them and adopt them.

Speaker #1: Any kind of large deals pushing or pulling. It was a pretty it was a quarter that we kind of expected in terms of the deals landing when they did.

Speaker #1: There are others that are priced, like the Road Intelligence product, on a per-mile basis, which is a data-only offering. So we're experimenting with these different pricing models.

Speaker #1: But clearly, with the large customer momentum, the strength that we're seeing in emerging products, even the international strongest international quarter that we've had, gave us the confidence to raise the guidance above the Q1 beat.

Speaker #1: And then as we think towards things like agents, we do expect to at some point offer a consumption-based model. We need to test this pricing and make sure it works well with our customers.

Speaker #4: Excellent. Congrats, guys.

Speaker #3: Next question comes from Chris Quintero with Morgan Stanley, followed by Michael Turn with Wells Fargo.

Speaker #1: But that aligns the value they're getting and our costs with how they adopt it, so we're excited about that. To answer the second part of your question, around which ones we are most excited to see perform in the market:

Sanjit Biswas: We're excited about that. To answer the second part of your question around which ones are we most excited about, I think we're going to see how they perform in the market. Like I said earlier, there's a tremendous amount of value around each of these areas. It's hard for us to predict exactly, but the betas have been really strong. Customer feedback's been really positive, so we're excited to get these out there.

Speaker #5: Hey, guys. Thank you for taking our questions here and congrats on a solid set of results, especially on the gap net income side, which, if I'm not mistaken, means you are now eligible for some index inclusion.

Sanjit Biswas: To answer the second part of your question around which ones are we most excited about, I think we're going to see how they perform in the market. Like I said earlier, there's a tremendous amount of value around each of these areas. It's hard for us to predict exactly, but the betas have been really strong. Customer feedback's been really positive, so we're excited to get these out there.

Speaker #1: Like I said earlier, there's a tremendous amount of value around each of these areas. It's hard for us to predict exactly, but the betas have been really strong.

Speaker #5: So congrats on that. Maybe first on the 1 million dollar plus ARR cohort, really nice to see that acceleration. Maybe could you talk a little bit about what you're seeing and how those discussions are going with some of your largest customers and what's really driving that momentum up there?

Speaker #1: Customer feedback has been really positive, so we're excited to get these out there.

Speaker #4: Excellent. And for you, the net new ARR figure in Q1 was pretty incredible. All your larger cohorts are growing even faster. So was there anything unusual about the quarter?

Alex Zukin: Excellent. Dom, for you, the net new ARR figure in Q1 was pretty incredible. All your larger cohorts are growing even faster. Was there anything unusual about the quarter? It seems like you went out of your way to kind of pass through a stronger raise than ever from a revenue perspective for the year, and I think you put a comment about largest customer stock performance. Maybe just connect those dots to the message you're trying to send with your guide here today.

Speaker #4: It seems like you went out of your way to kind of pass through a stronger raise than ever from a revenue perspective for the year.

Speaker #1: Yeah. I'll take that one. I think with these large customers, these million-dollar-plus customers, they are clearly excited about this connected operations vision. They have very large frontline workforces.

Speaker #4: And I think you put a comment about the largest customer stock performance, so maybe just connect those dots to the message you're trying to send with your guide here today.

Speaker #1: They have often tens of thousands of assets, vehicles, trailers, equipment. And they're trying to coordinate all this and, as we now enter into new areas like maintenance and training and qualifications and workflows, they see an opportunity to bring it together on one platform.

Speaker #1: Yeah. Well, we were able to pass through not only the Q1 revenue beat, which was like $23 million, and then an extra, kind of, I think, $19 million on top of that, getting to $39 million for the overall revenue guidance.

Dominic Phillips: Well, we were able to pass through not only the Q1 revenue beat, but then, which was like $23 million, and then an extra kind of, I think, 19 on top of that, or getting to 39 for the overall revenue guidance. We clearly feel good about the momentum that we're seeing. Nothing really stands out as kind of one time in nature in Q1 this year. Any kind of large deals pushing or pulling. It was a quarter that we kind of expected in terms of the deals landing when they did. Clearly with the large customer momentum, the strength that we're seeing in emerging products, even the international, strongest international quarter that we've had gave us the confidence to raise the guidance above the Q1 beat.

Speaker #1: So we clearly feel good about the momentum that we're seeing. Nothing really stands out as kind Q1 this year. Any kind of large deals pushing or pulling.

Speaker #1: So the multi-product land has been really strong. And then the kind of expand motion as they digitize more of their operations also strong. So this has been part of the strategy for many years is to focus on these large, complex operations I think we're seeing it now flow through to the results.

Speaker #1: It was a pretty—it was a quarter that we kind of expected in terms of the deals landing when they did. But clearly, with the large customer momentum, the strength that we're seeing in emerging products, and even the strongest international quarter that we've had, gave us the confidence to raise the guidance above the Q1 beat.

Speaker #5: Excellent. And then maybe on the go-to-market AI side, I'm curious, as you start to roll out more of this operational AI and intelligence, how you're thinking about the go-to-market motion.

Speaker #5: Do you need to make any adjustments there? We've seen other software companies start to deploy more of a forward-deployed engineer type of model. So curious if that's also something you're considering there.

Speaker #4: Excellent. Congrats, guys.

Alex Zukin: Excellent. Congrats, guys.

Speaker #3: Next question comes from Chris Quintero with Morgan Stanley, followed by Michael Turn with Wells Fargo.

Mike Chang: Next question comes from Chris Quintero with Morgan Stanley, followed by Michael Turrin with Wells Fargo.

Speaker #1: You know, Chris, we're keeping our ear to the ground in terms of what works well for our customers. There's it's actually a very interesting dynamic or backdrop where most of our customers are entering this digital transformation wave really for the first time.

Speaker #5: Hey, guys. Thank you for taking our questions here, and congrats on a solid set of results, especially on the GAAP net income side, which, if I'm not mistaken, means you are now eligible for some index inclusion.

Chris Quintero: Hey guys, thank you for taking our questions here. Congrats on a solid set of results, especially on the GAAP net income side, which, if I'm not mistaken, means you are now eligible for some index inclusion. Congrats on that. Maybe first on the $1 million-plus ARR cohort, really nice to see that acceleration. Maybe could you talk a little bit about what you're seeing and how those discussions are going with some of your largest customers and what's really driving that momentum up there?

Speaker #5: So, congrats on that. Maybe first, on the $1 million-plus ARR cohort—really nice to see that acceleration. Maybe could you talk a little bit about what you're seeing and how those discussions are going with some of your largest customers, and what's really driving that momentum up there?

Speaker #1: So they're less advanced than the kind of IT shops that may be writing a lot of code and kind of doing the forward-deployed engineer thing.

Speaker #1: We are finding that many of our customers are in phase one and phase two. So they're simply trying to get data about their operations, get that initial set of insights.

Speaker #1: And then they're experimenting with newer technologies like our agents and these newer SKUs to see what else they can unlock. So I would these customers.

Speaker #1: Yeah, I'll take that one. I think with these large customers, these million-dollar-plus customers, they are clearly excited about this connected operations vision. They have very large frontline workforces.

Sanjit Biswas: Yeah, I'll take that one. I think with these large customers, these million-dollar-plus customers, they are clearly excited about this connected operations vision. They have very large frontline workforces. They have often tens of thousands of assets, vehicles, trailers, equipment, and they're trying to coordinate all this. As we now enter into new areas like maintenance and training and qualifications and workflows, they see an opportunity to bring it together on one platform. The multi-product land has been really strong, and then the kind of expand motion as they digitize more of their operations, also strong. This has been part of the strategy for many years, is to focus on these large, complex operations. I think we're seeing it now flow through to the results.

Speaker #1: But it's not exactly the same model that we're seeing in the kind of software IT space.

Speaker #1: They have often tens of thousands of assets, vehicles, trailers, equipment. And they're trying to coordinate all this. And as we now enter into new areas like maintenance and training and qualifications and workflows, they see an opportunity to bring it together on one platform.

Speaker #5: Really helpful. Thanks, Andrew.

Speaker #3: The next question comes from Michael Turn with Wells Fargo, followed by Jim Fish with Piper Sandler.

Speaker #6: Hey, great. Thanks very much. Appreciate you taking the question. I want to zoom out and just ask one for both Sanjit and Dom. You're reaching 2 billion in ARR scale.

Speaker #1: So the multi-product land has been really strong, and then the kind of expand motion as they digitize more of their operations is also strong. So this has been part of the strategy for many years, to focus on these large, complex operations. I think we're seeing it now flow through to the results.

Speaker #6: You're still growing around 30%. So just one of the questions we field most often is just how to think about the durability of what you're delivering and for investors who are asking where the next act of growth comes from for the business.

Speaker #5: Excellent. And then maybe on the go-to-market AI side—I'm curious, as you start to roll out more of this operational AI and intelligence, how you're thinking about the go-to-market motion.

Chris Quintero: Excellent. Maybe on the go-to-market AI side, I'm curious, as you start to roll out more of this operational AI and intelligence, how you're thinking about the go-to-market motion. Do you need to make any adjustments there? We've seen other software companies start to deploy more of a forward-deployed engineer type of model. Curious if that's also something you're considering there.

Speaker #6: Are there certain products in the emerging bucket or some of the emerging segments or categories you'd point them towards as you're really running into some rare air with that profile?

Speaker #5: Do you need to make any adjustments there? We've seen other software companies start to deploy more of a forward-deployed engineer type of model, so I'm curious if that's also something you're considering there.

Speaker #6: Thanks very much.

Speaker #1: Yeah. I mean, you've really seen over the last several quarters the overall kind of ARR growth rate really stabilize around 30%, hitting 30% again at the same growth rate as last quarter at a larger scale.

Sanjit Biswas: Chris, we're keeping our ear to the ground in terms of what works well for our customers. It's actually a very interesting dynamic or backdrop where most of our customers are entering this digital transformation wave really for the first time. They're less advanced than the kind of IT shops that may be writing a lot of code and doing the forward deployed engineer thing. We are finding that many of our customers are in phase 1 and phase 2. They're simply trying to get data about their operations, get that initial set of insights, and then they're experimenting with newer technologies like our agents and these newer SKUs to see what else they can unlock. I would say we want to stay close to these customers, but it's not exactly the same model that we're seeing in the software IT space.

Speaker #1: I think it's really what makes us excited is that it's really coming from many different areas. So obviously, large customer momentum has been incredible for us.

Speaker #1: So they're less advanced than the kind of IT shops that may be writing a lot of code and that kind of thing. We are finding that many of our customers are in phase one and phase two.

Speaker #1: 62% of ARR coming from our largest customers. But both the 100K and million-dollar-plus ARR has been accelerating now at larger scales sequentially for several quarters in a row.

Speaker #1: The emerging products have really demonstrated a lot of success over the last year or so. Two consecutive quarters of more than 20% of our net new ACV index.

Speaker #1: So they're simply trying to get data about their operations, get that initial set of insights. And then they're experimenting with newer technologies like our agents and these newer SKUs to see what else they can unlock.

Speaker #1: And we continue to add more and more products into that emerging bucket. And then even beyond that, things like international, again, really strong quarter, 18% of net new ACV mix.

Speaker #1: So I would say we want to stay close to these customers, but it's not exactly the same model that we're seeing in the kind of software IT space.

Sanjit Biswas: I would say we want to stay close to these customers, but it's not exactly the same model that we're seeing in the software IT space.

Speaker #5: Really helpful. Thanks, Andrew.

Chris Quintero: Really helpful. Thanks, Sanjit.

Speaker #1: And so I think we have a number of different growth vectors. And all of those are really kind of firing on all cylinders. And that's allowing us to really demonstrate durable growth.

Speaker #3: The next question comes from Michael Turn with Wells Fargo, followed by Jim Fish with Piper Sandler.

Mike Chang: The next question comes from Michael Turrin with Wells Fargo, followed by James Fish with Piper Sandler.

Speaker #6: Hey, great. Thanks very much. Appreciate you taking the question. I want to zoom out and just ask one for both Sanjit and Dom. You're reaching 2 billion in ARR scale.

Michael Turrin: Hey, great. Thanks very much. Appreciate you taking the question. I want to zoom out and just ask one for both Sanjit and Dom. You're reaching $2 billion in ARR scale. You're still growing around 30%. Just one of the questions we field most often is just how to think about the durability of what you're delivering. For investors who are asking where the next act of growth comes from for the business, are there certain products in the emerging bucket or some of the emerging segments or categories you'd point them towards as you're really running into some rare air with that profile? Thanks very much.

Speaker #6: Thanks very much.

Speaker #3: Great. Next question comes from Jim Fish with Piper Sandler, followed by Matt Hedberg with RBC.

Speaker #6: You're still growing at around 30%. So, just one of the questions we field most often is how to think about the durability of what you're delivering, and for investors who are asking where the next act of growth comes from for the business.

Speaker #7: Hey, guys. Did want to circle back on Derrick's question. I guess, how are you guys feeling about components and supply availability? Because I don't know if you addressed that one and then Dom, just on the expansion side, can you help us in terms of the thought process or what's going on underneath between adding more assets here versus adopting more software modules, especially with some of these new offerings that you have here for the year and specifically also the way to think about the net new ACV mix this quarter between new and expansion?

Speaker #6: Are there certain products in the emerging bucket or some of the emerging segments or categories you'd point them towards, as you're really running into so much?

Speaker #1: Yeah, I mean, you've really seen over the last several quarters the overall kind of ARR growth rate really stabilize around 30%, hitting 30% again.

Dominic Phillips: Yeah, you've really seen over the last several quarters the overall kind of ARR growth rate really stabilize around 30%, hitting 30% again at the same growth rate as last quarter at a larger scale. I think what makes us excited is that it's really coming from many different areas. Obviously, large customer momentum has been incredible for us, 62% of ARR coming from our largest customers. Both the 100K and million-dollar-plus ARR has been accelerating now at larger scales sequentially for several quarters in a row. The emerging products have really demonstrated a lot of success over the last year or so. Two consecutive quarters of more than 20% of our net new ACV mix, and we continue to add more and more products into that emerging bucket. Even beyond that, things like international, again, really strong quarter, 18% of net new ACV mix.

Speaker #7: Thanks, guys.

Speaker #1: At the same growth rate as last quarter, at a larger scale. I think what really makes us excited is that it's coming from many different areas.

Speaker #1: Yeah. So obviously, I think most investors are aware the kind of DRAM and NAND supply chain-related markets right now are definitely a little bit tighter with prices increasing.

Speaker #1: So, obviously, large customer momentum has been incredible for us—62% of ARR coming from our largest customers. Both the $100K and million-dollar-plus ARR segments have been accelerating, now at larger scales, sequentially, for several quarters in a row.

Speaker #1: I think we've done a pretty good job of almost never running into a situation where we're stocking out. So we're we have a pretty, I'd say, scrappy supply chain team.

Speaker #1: The emerging products have really demonstrated a lot of success over the last year or so—two consecutive quarters of more than 20% of our net new ACV index.

Speaker #1: Meaning visibility out for a couple of quarters where it used to have much longer-term visibility. But we have confidence that we're going to be able to find the supply that we need demand as we look through the rest of FY27.

Speaker #1: And we continue to add more and more products into that emerging bucket. And then even beyond that, things like international—again, really strong quarter; 18% of net new ACV mix.

Dominic Phillips: Even beyond that, things like international, again, really strong quarter, 18% of net new ACV mix. I think we have a number of different growth vectors, and all of those are really kind of firing on all cylinders, and that's allowing us to really demonstrate durable growth.

Speaker #1: I think it's worth also noting just even from a competitive standpoint, we feel like we're really well positioned. We're the best capitalized to navigate through this.

Speaker #1: And so I think we have a number of different growth vectors, and all of those are really kind of firing on all cylinders. And that's allowing us to really demonstrate durable growth.

Dominic Phillips: I think we have a number of different growth vectors, and all of those are really kind of firing on all cylinders, and that's allowing us to really demonstrate durable growth.

Speaker #1: And so we view this as an opportunity potentially even to capture some additional market share. So that was the answer to your first question.

Speaker #6: Thanks very much.

Michael Turrin: Thanks very much.

Speaker #1: Secondly, from the expansion standpoint, for us, it tends to be more driven by more assets or licenses on the same product. Many of our customers land with multiple products up front.

Speaker #3: Great. Next question comes from Jim Fish with Piper Sandler, followed by Matt Hedberg with RBC.

Mike Chang: Great. Next question comes from James Fish with Piper Sandler, followed by Matthew Hedberg with RBC.

Speaker #4: Hey, guys. Did want to circle back on Derek's question. I guess, how are you guys feeling about components and supply availability? Because I don't know if you addressed that one.

James Fish: Hey, guys. Did want to circle back on Derek's question. I guess, how are you guys feeling about components and supply availability? I don't know if you addressed that one. Dom, just on the expansion side, can you help us in terms of the thought process for what's going on underneath between adding more assets here versus adopting more software modules, especially with some of these new offerings that you have here for the year. Specifically also the way to think about the net new ACV mix this quarter between new and expansion. Thanks, guys.

Speaker #1: So like nine of the top 10 deals had two or more products. And then customers will do expansions very often with the same products that they have, but they'll add more assets.

Speaker #4: And then, Dom, just on the expansion side, can you help us in terms of the thought process or what's going on underneath between adding more assets here versus adopting more software modules, especially with some of these new offerings that you have for the year? And specifically, also the way to think about the net new ACV mix this quarter between new and expansion?

Speaker #1: They'll add more licenses. I called out that large global food distributor that has done 20 expansions since they first landed in 2018. And so that's very common for our customers.

Speaker #1: More so than doing a cross-sell of a brand new product that they didn't have before. That's lesser of a driver of the expansions.

Speaker #4: Thanks, guys.

Speaker #1: Yeah, so obviously I think most investors are aware the kind of DRAM and NAND supply chain-related markets right now are definitely a little bit tighter, with prices increasing.

Dominic Phillips: Yeah. Obviously, I think most investors are aware, the kind of DRAM and NAND supply chain related markets right now are definitely a little bit tighter with prices increasing. I think we've done a pretty good job of almost never running into a situation where we're stocking out. We have a pretty, I'd say, scrappy supply chain team, and we're able to almost always find all of the supply that we need to meet customer demand, and we haven't had a problem there. I'd say the visibility isn't as good as it has been in the past, meaning visibility out for a couple of quarters, where it used to have much longer-term visibility. We have confidence that we're going to be able to find the supply that we need to ultimately meet customer demand as we look through the rest of FY '27.

Speaker #3: Great. Next question comes from Matt Hedberg with RBC. Followed by Matt Bullock with B of A.

Speaker #1: I think we've done a pretty good job of almost never running into a situation where we're stocking out. So, we have a pretty, I'd say, scrappy supply chain team.

Speaker #8: Hey, guys. Can you hear me okay?

Speaker #3: Yeah, we can hear you.

Speaker #8: Yeah. Great. The emerging product success is obviously great to see. And it feels like there's a number of things in there that you're excited about.

Speaker #1: And we're able to almost always find all of the supply that we need to meet customer demand. We haven't had a problem there. I'd say the visibility isn't as good as it has been in the past, meaning visibility out for a couple of quarters, where it used to have much longer-term visibility.

Speaker #8: I don't think you guys called out asset tags this quarter. I know 4Q was particularly strong. Anything to call out there? Any wins, any sort of traction from that front?

Speaker #1: But we have confidence that we're going to be able to find the supply that we need to ultimately meet customer demand as we look through the rest of FY27.

Dominic Phillips: We have confidence that we're going to be able to find the supply that we need to ultimately meet customer demand as we look through the rest of FY '27. I think it's worth also noting, just even from a competitive standpoint, we feel like we're really well-positioned. We're the best capitalized to navigate through this, we view this as an opportunity potentially even to capture some additional market share. That was the answer to your first question. Secondly, from an expansion standpoint, for us, it tends to be more driven by more assets or licenses on the same product. Many of our customers land with multiple products up front. Like nine of the top 10 deals had two or more products.

Speaker #1: It was another strong asset tags quarter. Again, I would say just even more taking a step back, looking broadly at the emerging products bucket.

Speaker #1: Again, 20%, more than 20% of net new ACV. There was, again, not more one product did not contribute more than 50% of the overall net new ACV mix.

Speaker #1: I think it's worth also noting, just even from a competitive standpoint, we feel like we're really well positioned. We're the best capitalized to navigate through this.

Dominic Phillips: I think it's worth also noting, just even from a competitive standpoint, we feel like we're really well-positioned. We're the best capitalized to navigate through this, we view this as an opportunity potentially even to capture some additional market share. That was the answer to your first question. Secondly, from an expansion standpoint, for us, it tends to be more driven by more assets or licenses on the same product. Many of our customers land with multiple products up front. Like nine of the top 10 deals had two or more products. Customers will do expansions very often with the same products that they have, but they'll add more assets, they'll add more licenses. I called out that large global food distributor that has done 20 expansions since they first landed in 2018.

Speaker #1: And so, we view this as an opportunity potentially even to capture some additional market share. So, that was the answer to your first question.

Speaker #1: So that's we've seen that pretty consistently. So I would say widespread contribution from things like AI multi-cam, asset tags was definitely in that bucket.

Speaker #1: Secondly, from the expansion standpoint, for us, it tends to be more driven by more assets or licenses on the same product. Many of our customers land with multiple products up front.

Speaker #1: We had the large connected asset maintenance deal. And so it's really coming widespread. But I'd say asset tags was another strong quarter.

Speaker #1: So, like, nine of the top ten deals had two or more products. And then customers will do expansions very often with the same products that they have.

Speaker #8: That's great. And then building on the questions around the durability of growth, I know you guys have been actively adding quite a bit of capacity over the last several years.

Dominic Phillips: Customers will do expansions very often with the same products that they have, but they'll add more assets, they'll add more licenses. I called out that large global food distributor that has done 20 expansions since they first landed in 2018. That's very common for our customers, more so than doing a cross-sell of a brand-new product that they didn't have before. That's lesser of a driver of the expansions.

Speaker #1: But they'll add more assets. They'll add more licenses. I called out that large global food distributor that has done 20 expansions since they first landed in 2018.

Speaker #8: I mean, with the success that you're seeing now and really just it feels like you guys should kind of put your foot down on the accelerator.

Speaker #1: And so that's very common for our customers, more so than doing a cross-sell of a brand new product that they didn't have before. That's less of a driver of the expansions.

Speaker #8: How do you think about capacity adds as we think towards the balance of the year?

Dominic Phillips: That's very common for our customers, more so than doing a cross-sell of a brand-new product that they didn't have before. That's lesser of a driver of the expansions.

Speaker #1: Yeah, absolutely. Adding more quota-carrying sales reps, for a direct sales motion, is for us a key input to growth. We are definitely adding more headcount, I'd say, pretty aggressively as quickly as we possibly can.

Speaker #3: Great. Next question comes from Matt Hedberg with RBC, followed by Matt Bullock with BofA.

Mike Chang: Great. Next question comes from Matt Hedberg with RBC, followed by Matt Bullock with BofA.

Speaker #1: End of this year to kind of meet the demand that we're seeing and kind of make sure that we're able to kind of meet all the customer demand.

Speaker #4: Hey guys, can you hear me okay?

Matthew Hedberg: Hey, guys. Can you hear me okay?

Matt Hedberg: Hey, guys. Can you hear me okay?

Speaker #1: Yeah, we can hear you.

Mike Chang: Yeah, we can hear you.

Dominic Phillips: Yeah.

Speaker #4: Yeah, great. The emerging product success is obviously great to see, and it feels like there are a number of things I know you're excited about.

Matthew Hedberg: Great. The emerging product success is obviously great to see, and it feels like there's a number of things in there that you're excited about. I don't think you guys called out Asset Tag this quarter. I know Q4 was particularly strong. Anything to call out there, any wins, any sort of traction from that front?

Matt Hedberg: Great. The emerging product success is obviously great to see, and it feels like there's a number of things in there that you're excited about. I don't think you guys called out Asset Tag this quarter. I know Q4 was particularly strong. Anything to call out there, any wins, any sort of traction from that front?

Speaker #1: And then for us, it's also thinking about productivity as well, which has been really strong for us. If I think about our ARR per employee, that is up double digits.

Speaker #4: I don't think you guys called out asset tags this quarter. I know Q4 was particularly strong. Anything to call out there? Any wins, any sort of traction from that front?

Speaker #1: Year over year and a big driver of headcount is clearly our go-to-market organization. So we're adding more capacity at a high pace. And then we're seeing better than expected productivity as well.

Speaker #1: It was another strong asset tags quarter. Again, I would say, just taking a step back and looking broadly at the emerging products bucket.

Dominic Phillips: It was another strong Asset Tag quarter. Again, I would say just even more taking a step back, looking broadly at the emerging products bucket. Again, more than 20% of net new ACV. One product did not contribute more than 50% of the overall net new ACV mix, so we've seen that pretty consistently. I'd say widespread contribution from things like AI Multicam. Asset Tag was definitely in that bucket. We had the large Connected Asset Maintenance deal. It's really coming widespread, but I'd say Asset Tag was another strong quarter.

Speaker #8: Thanks, guys. Congrats.

Speaker #1: Again, 20%, more than 20% of net new ACV. There was, again, not more—one product did not contribute more than 50% of the overall net new ACV mix.

Speaker #3: Great. Next question comes from Matt Bullock with B of A, followed by Kirk Materne with Evercore. Matt?

Speaker #1: So that's—we've seen that pretty consistently. So I'd say widespread contribution from things like AI multi-cam, asset tags was definitely in that bucket. We had the large connected asset maintenance deal.

Speaker #8: Hey, thanks, guys. Appreciate you taking the question. I wanted to ask about the guide because obviously, a really strong increase to the annual guidance.

Speaker #1: And so it's really becoming widespread. But I'd say asset tags was another strong quarter.

Speaker #8: But as I look at the second quarter revenue guide, it looks like it might have been a little bit softer on a sequential basis.

Speaker #4: That's great. And then, building on the questions around the durability of growth, I know you guys have been actively adding quite a bit of capacity over the last several—now it really just feels like you guys should kind of put your foot down on the accelerator.

Matthew Hedberg: That's great. Building on the questions around the durability of growth, I know you guys have been actively adding quite a bit of capacity over the last several years. With the success that you're seeing now, and really just, it feels like you guys should put your foot down on the accelerator. How do you think about capacity adds as we think towards the balance of the year?

Matt Hedberg: That's great. Building on the questions around the durability of growth, I know you guys have been actively adding quite a bit of capacity over the last several years. With the success that you're seeing now, and really just, it feels like you guys should put your foot down on the accelerator. How do you think about capacity adds as we think towards the balance of the year?

Speaker #8: So Dominic, could you help us reconcile those two trends? Is there anything to call out in terms of linearity or large deal ramp in the back half?

Speaker #1: No. I mean, I think the guide that we put up was ahead of consensus expectations for Q2. And then again, I would really look at the full-year guide, almost doubling the amount of the Q1 beat.

Speaker #4: How are you thinking about capacity additions as we look towards the balance of the year?

Speaker #1: Yeah, absolutely. Adding more quota-carrying sales reps for our direct sales motion is, for us, a key input to growth. We are definitely adding more headcount, I'd say, pretty aggressively.

Dominic Phillips: Yeah, absolutely. Adding more quota-carrying sales reps for a direct sales motion for us is a key input to growth. We are definitely adding more headcount, I'd say pretty aggressively, as quickly as we possibly can into this year to kind of meet the demand that we're seeing and make sure that we're able to meet all the customer demand. Then, for us, it's also thinking about productivity as well, which has been really strong for us. If I think about our ARR per employee, that is up double digits year over year. A big driver of headcount is clearly our go-to-market organization. We're adding more capacity at a high pace, and then we're seeing better than expected productivity as well.

Speaker #1: And so I think that demonstrates that we feel really good about the quarter, the momentum that we're seeing, and gives us a lot of confidence to be able to raise the guide both for Q2 and for the full year ahead of

Speaker #1: As quickly as we possibly can into this year to kind of meet the demand that we're seeing, and make sure that we're able to meet all the customer demand.

Speaker #3: Got it. And then just one more, if I could. I wanted to ask about new products. Obviously, some really strong momentum on the booking side there.

Speaker #1: And then for us, it's also thinking about productivity as well, which has been really strong for us. If I think about our ARR per employee, that is up double digits year over year, and a big driver of headcount is clearly our go-to-market organization.

Speaker #3: A few quarters in a row of 20% plus mix. Is there anything to call out in terms of comps as we move through the second half of this year, given the strength we saw in the second half of last year?

Speaker #3: Or are you adding enough new products into that bucket that you couldn't see a slowdown of momentum from early adopters?

Speaker #1: So we're adding more capacity at a high pace, and then we're seeing better-than-expected productivity as well.

Speaker #1: I think that we at this point that just given the momentum that we're seeing with the emerging products, we expect it to be a really important contributor.

Speaker #4: Thanks, guys. Congrats.

Sanjit Biswas: Thanks, guys. Congrats.

Matt Hedberg: Thanks, guys. Congrats.

Speaker #3: Great. Next question comes from Matt Bullock with BofA, followed by Kirk Matern with Evercore. Matt?

Mike Chang: Great. Next question comes from Matt Bullock with BofA, followed by Kirk Materne with Evercore. Matt?

Speaker #1: So again, more than 20% for the second consecutive quarter we're adding more and more products. So we expect that will continue to be a material driver of the overall net new ACV mix.

Speaker #4: Hey, thanks, guys. Appreciate you taking the question. I wanted to ask about the guide, because obviously there's a really strong increase to the annual guidance.

Matthew Bullock: Hey, thanks, guys. Appreciate you taking the question. I wanted to ask about the guide, obviously a really strong increase to the annual guidance. As I look at the Q2 revenue guide, it looks like it might've been a little bit softer on a sequential basis. Dominic, could you help us reconcile those two trends? Is there anything to call out in terms of linearity or large deal ramp in the H2?

Matt Bullock: Hey, thanks, guys. Appreciate you taking the question. I wanted to ask about the guide, obviously a really strong increase to the annual guidance. As I look at the Q2 revenue guide, it looks like it might've been a little bit softer on a sequential basis. Dominic, could you help us reconcile those two trends? Is there anything to call out in terms of linearity or large deal ramp in the H2?

Speaker #1: And then obviously, the other 70-ish percent is coming from the core products, which continue to be strong growers. And continue to be kind of the beachhead into these customer opportunities.

Speaker #4: But as I look at the second quarter revenue guide, it looks like it might have been a little bit softer on a sequential basis.

Speaker #1: We're going to need both of those to continue to be durable growers for us to accomplish the forecast for the rest of the year.

Speaker #4: So Dominic, could you help us reconcile those two trends? Is there anything to call out in terms of linearity, or a large deal ramp in the back half?

Speaker #3: Got it. Thank you.

Speaker #8: The next question comes from Kirk Materne with Evercore. Followed by Jason Celino with KeyBank.

Speaker #1: No, I mean, I think the guide that we put up was ahead of consensus expectations for Q2. And then again, I would really look at the full-year guide—almost doubling the amount of the Q1 beat.

Dominic Phillips: No. I think the guide that we put up was ahead of consensus expectations for Q2. Again, I would really look at the full-year guide almost doubling the amount of the Q1 beat. I think that demonstrates that we feel really good about the quarter, the momentum that we're seeing, and gives us a lot of confidence to be able to raise the guide, both for Q2 and for the full year ahead of expectations.

Speaker #5: Hi, yeah. Thanks, guys. And congrats on a nice quarter. I guess I was curious about the software only when it hurts. And can you just talk about how a deal like that comes about?

Speaker #1: And so, I think that demonstrates that we feel really good about the quarter, the momentum that we're seeing, and it gives us a lot of confidence to be able to raise the guide both for Q2 and for the full year ahead of expectations.

Speaker #5: Is it a little bit of a different sales cycle? And can something that starts software only go back to having a device component to it longer term?

Speaker #5: And then Dom, I was just curious the last couple of years as the deals have gotten bigger, I think you noted there's more volatility in big deals to sort of definitionally but are you seeing better sort of just cadence through the pipeline on those bigger deals?

Speaker #3: Got it. And then just one more, if I could. I wanted to ask about new products. Obviously, there's some really strong momentum on the booking side there.

Matthew Bullock: Got it. Just one more, if I could. I wanted to ask about new products. Obviously, some really strong momentum on the booking side there of a few quarters in a row of 20% plus mix. Is there anything to call out in terms of comps as we move through H2 of this year, given the strength we saw in H2 of last year? Are you adding enough new products into that bucket that you couldn't see a slowdown of momentum from early adopters?

Matt Bullock: Got it. Just one more, if I could. I wanted to ask about new products. Obviously, some really strong momentum on the booking side there of a few quarters in a row of 20% plus mix. Is there anything to call out in terms of comps as we move through H2 of this year, given the strength we saw in H2 of last year? Are you adding enough new products into that bucket that you couldn't see a slowdown of momentum from early adopters?

Speaker #3: A few quarters in a row, 20% plus mix. Is there anything to call out in terms of comps as we move through the second half of this year, given the strength we saw in the second half of last year?

Speaker #5: Are you getting more comfortable, I guess, in terms of just the potential volatility of those? Thanks.

Speaker #6: Sure. I'll take the first part of that, Kirk. So the Hertz deal came together as we were meeting with their EVP of operations and fleet.

Speaker #3: Or are you adding enough new products into that bucket that you couldn't see a slowdown of momentum from early adopters?

Speaker #6: As you probably know, Hertz operates one of the largest vehicle fleets in the world. We're talking about half a million vehicles. They have some unique dynamics in the terms of how quickly those vehicles turn over.

Dominic Phillips: I think that we, at this point, just given the momentum that we're seeing with the emerging products, we expect it to be a really important contributor. Again, more than 20% for the second consecutive quarter. We're adding more and more products, so we expect that will continue to be a material driver of the overall net new ACV mix. Obviously the other 70-ish percent is coming from the core products, which continue to be strong growers and continue to be the beachhead into these customer opportunities. We're going to need both of those to continue to be durable growers for us to accomplish the forecast for the rest of the year.

Speaker #1: I think that we, at this point—just given the momentum that we're seeing with the emerging products—expect it to be a really important contributor.

Speaker #6: And so maintenance and this kind of software-only opportunity seemed to be what was most relevant to them. That being said, they got to know our entire connected operations platform.

Speaker #1: So again, more than 20% for the second consecutive quarter. We're adding more and more products, so we expect that will continue to be a material driver of the overall net new ACV mix.

Speaker #6: They do have other parts of their operations where the hardware products could play a big role. So we view it as an opportunity to really partner deeply, get to know them well, get to understand their operations, and maintenance is just where we're going to start.

Speaker #1: And then, obviously, the other 70-ish percent is coming from the core products, which continue to be strong growers and continue to be kind of the beachhead into these customer opportunities.

Speaker #6: But there's a lot of different opportunities for us to partner together.

Speaker #1: We're going to need both of those to continue to be durable growers for us to accomplish the forecast for the rest of the year.

Speaker #1: Yeah. And on the second question, we felt really good about the pipeline and the demand that we're seeing in terms of large deals for the rest of the year.

Speaker #3: Got it. Thank you.

Matthew Bullock: Got it. Thank you.

Matt Bullock: Got it. Thank you.

Speaker #1: I think many investors know these are larger enterprise sales cycles. They can take multiple quarters to ultimately land. And so the specific timing of when the deals are going to land, especially as we get into kind of the back half of the year, there's less visibility into that.

Speaker #4: And I saw it comes from Kirk Matern with Evercore, followed by Jason Solina with KeyBank.

Mike Chang: The next question comes from Kirk Materne with Evercore, followed by Jason Celino with KeyBank.

Speaker #5: Hi, yeah. Thanks, guys, and congrats on a nice quarter. I guess I was curious about the software-only win at Hertz, and can you just talk about how a deal like that comes about?

Kirk Materne: Yeah. Thanks, guys, and congrats on a nice quarter. I guess I was curious about the software-only win at Hertz. Can you just talk about how a deal like that comes about? Is it a little bit of a different sales cycle, and can something that starts software-only go back to having a device component to it longer term? Then Dom, I was just curious, your last couple years, these deals have gotten bigger. I think you noted there's more volatility in big deals just sort of definitionally. Are you seeing better sort of just cadence through the pipeline on those bigger deals? Are you getting more comfortable, I guess, in terms of just the potential volatility of those? Thanks.

Speaker #1: But just the overall amount of pipeline that we have for the large deals, we feel really good about. I think that's why we in this quarter started talking more about net new ARR in terms of the LTM over the last 12 months as opposed to quarter over quarter where you may get some more of that volatility, looking at it on a longer period of time like LTM.

Speaker #5: Is it a little bit of a different sales cycle? And can something that starts software-only go back to having a device component to it longer term?

Speaker #5: And then, Dom, I was just curious. The last couple of years, these deals have gotten bigger. I think you noted there's more volatility in big deals, sort of definitionally, but are you seeing better, sort of, cadence through the pipeline on those bigger deals?

Speaker #1: Just likely smooths out those potential for quarter variations.

Speaker #5: Are you getting more comfortable, I guess, in terms of just the potential volatility of those? Thanks.

Speaker #4: Sure. I'll take the first part of that, Kirk. So, the Hertz deal came together as we were meeting with their EVP of Operations and Fleet.

Sanjit Biswas: Sure. I'll take the first part of that, Kirk. The Hertz deal came together as we were meeting with their EVP of operations and fleet. As you probably know, Hertz operates one of the largest vehicle fleets in the world. We're talking about 500,000 vehicles. They have some unique dynamics in terms of how quickly those vehicles turn over. Maintenance and this kind of software-only opportunity seemed to be what was most relevant to them. That being said, they got to know our entire Connected Operations platform. They do have other parts of their operations where the hardware products could play a big role. We view it as an opportunity to really partner deeply, get to know them well, get to understand their operations.

Speaker #3: Great. The next question comes from Jason Celino with KeyBank. Followed by Dan Jester with BMO.

Speaker #7: Great. Thank you. So how might the recent Supreme Court ruling on broker liability benefit Sensara? Obviously, Sensara has a diversified business. And this ruling is specific for only a subsegment of your customer base.

Speaker #4: As you probably know, Hertz operates one of the largest vehicle fleets in the world. We're talking about half a million vehicles. They have some unique dynamics in terms of how quickly those vehicles turn over.

Speaker #4: And so, maintenance and this kind of software-only opportunity seemed to be what was most relevant to them. That being said, they got to know our entire Connected Operations Platform.

Speaker #7: But historically, regulation mandates have acted as catalysts? Could we see this impact other industries? Or how are you thinking about it for your business?

Speaker #4: They do have other parts of their operations where the hardware products could play a big role. So, we view it as an opportunity to really partner deeply, get to know them well, get to understand their operations, and maintenance is just where we're going to start.

Speaker #6: Sure. I'll take that. So Jason, just maybe a background for the others on the call. The Supreme Court basically ruled that freight brokers can be sued for hiring unsafe carriers.

Sanjit Biswas: Maintenance is just where we're going to start, but there's a lot of different opportunities for us to partner together.

Speaker #4: But there's a lot of different opportunities for us to partner together.

Speaker #6: This is basically we think going to flow through to just heightened focus on being safe on the roads. And it just highlights the risk of running these physical operations businesses.

Speaker #1: Yeah, and on the second question, we feel really good about the pipeline and the demand that we're seeing in terms of large deals for the rest of the year.

Dominic Phillips: Yeah. On the second question, we feel really good about the pipeline and the demand that we're seeing in terms of large deals for the rest of the year. I think many investors know these are larger enterprise sales cycles. They can take multiple quarters to ultimately land. The specific timing of when the deals are going to land, especially as we get into the back half of the year, there's less visibility into that, but just the overall amount of pipeline that we have for the large deals we feel really good about. I think that's why we, in this quarter, started talking more about net new ARR in terms of the LTM over the last 12 months, as opposed to quarter-over-quarter, where you may get some more of that volatility.

Speaker #1: I think many investors know these are larger enterprise sales cycles. They can take multiple quarters to ultimately land. And so, the specific timing of when the deals are going to land—especially as we get into the back half of the year—there's less visibility into that.

Speaker #6: So in that sense, we think that it's good for our business overall because a lot of what we do is in terms of improving safety.

Speaker #6: Most of our customers tend to be the larger fleets. They are safer by nature. They have larger safety teams. They invest more heavily in safety.

Speaker #1: But just the overall amount of pipeline that we have for the large deals, we feel really good about. I think that's why we, in this quarter, started talking more about net new ARR in terms of the LTM—over the last 12 months—as opposed to quarter over quarter, where you may get some more of that volatility.

Speaker #6: So we're excited to be able to continue to partner with them. It may impact some of the smaller folks out in the market, the owner-operators, who we don't tend to focus on.

Speaker #6: But that's the dynamic. Right now, mostly focused on the brokers and the kind of transportation side of the industry from what we understand.

Speaker #1: Looking at it over a longer period of time, like LTM, just likely smooths out the potential for quarter-to-quarter variations.

Dominic Phillips: Looking at it on a longer period of time, like LTM, just likely smooths out those potential for quarter variations.

Speaker #7: Okay. Interesting. Thank you. And I don't think anyone's asked yet, but what are you seeing from a macro standpoint? Obviously, the numbers speak for themselves.

Speaker #3: Great. The next question comes from Jason Selena with KeyBank, followed by Dan Jester with BMO.

Mike Chang: Great. The next question comes from Jason Celino with KeyBank, followed by Dan Jester at BMO.

Speaker #7: Good. It sounds like you have a lot of momentum. But high oil prices are top of mind. And a lot of your customers have that as a feedstock or feed input.

Speaker #5: Great, thank you. So, how might the recent Supreme Court ruling on broker liability benefit Samsara? Obviously, Samsara has a diversified business, and this ruling is specific to only a subsegment of your customer base.

Jason Celino: Great. Thank you. How might the recent Supreme Court ruling on broker liability benefit Samsara? Obviously, Samsara has a diversified business, and this ruling is specific, ruling a sub-segment of your customer base. Historically, regulation mandates have acted as catalysts. Could we see this impact other industries, or how are you thinking about it for your business?

Speaker #7: Are you seeing anything from a sales cycle or close rate or anything to share there?

Speaker #6: I would say, by and large, our customers are busier than ever. I highlighted some of the industries like construction where they're building out these data centers.

Speaker #6: They're modernizing tons of infrastructure, including the electrical grids. We're seeing in public sector, they're still busy. You're right that there's some increase in input costs.

Speaker #5: But historically, regulation mandates have acted as catalysts. Could we see this impact other industries, or how are you thinking about it for your business?

Speaker #6: So basically, high oil prices translate to increased price of the pump for fuel. That can be anywhere from 30 to 40 percent for some customers.

Speaker #4: Sure, I'll take that. So, Jason, just maybe some background for the others on the call: the Supreme Court basically ruled that freight brokers can be sued for hiring unsafe carriers.

Sanjit Biswas: Sure, I'll take that. Jason, just maybe background for the others on the call. The Supreme Court basically ruled that freight brokers can be sued for hiring unsafe carriers. This is basically, we think going to flow through to just heightened focus on being safe on the roads. It just highlights the risk of running these physical operations businesses. In that sense, we think that it's good for our business overall because, a lot of what we do is in terms of improving safety. Most of our customers tend to be the larger fleets. They are safer by nature. They have larger safety teams. They invest more heavily in safety. We're excited to be able to continue to partner with them. It may impact some of the smaller folks out in the market, the owner-operators who we don't tend to focus on. That's a dynamic.

Speaker #6: But they are taking that challenge head-on and using technologies like what we offer in our telematics offering to go and optimize things like engine idling and even routes.

Speaker #4: This is basically, we think, going to flow through to just heightened focus on being safe on the roads. And it just highlights the risk of running these physical operations businesses.

Speaker #6: And so we see this as just kind of a cost of doing business for most of our customers. But their end market demand is strong.

Speaker #4: That it's good for our business overall, because a lot of what we do is in terms of improving safety. Most of our customers tend to be the larger fleets.

Speaker #6: And so they, like I said earlier, are busier than ever.

Speaker #7: Okay. Perfect. Thank you.

Speaker #3: Great. Next question comes from Dan Jester with BMO. Followed by Matt Martino with Goldman Sachs.

Speaker #4: They are safer by nature. They have larger safety teams. They invest more heavily in safety. So we're excited to be able to continue to partner with them.

Speaker #5: Great. Thanks for taking my question. Maybe just one for me. So maybe just it'd be helpful to get an update in terms of how AI is helping you scale the business internally.

Sanjit Biswas: We're excited to be able to continue to partner with them. It may impact some of the smaller folks out in the market, the owner-operators who we don't tend to focus on. That's a dynamic.

Speaker #4: It may impact some of the smaller folks out in the market, the owner-operators, who we don't tend to focus on. We're mostly focused on the brokers and the transportation side of the industry, from what we understand.

Sanjit Biswas: It's right now mostly focused on the brokers and the kind of transportation side of the industry from what we understand.

Speaker #5: A lot of great information on the product side today. But inside Sensara, what are you doing today? How is that scaling? And maybe with the question earlier around hiring, and obviously, part of that was around the go-to-market team.

Speaker #5: OK, interesting. Thank you. And I don't think anyone's asked yet, but what are you seeing from a macro standpoint? Obviously, the numbers speak for themselves.

Jason Celino: Okay. Interesting. Thank you. I don't think anyone's asked yet, but what are you seeing from a macro standpoint? Obviously, the numbers speak for themselves. Good. It sounds like you have a lot of momentum. High oil prices are top of mind, and a lot of your customers have that as a feedstock for feed input.

Speaker #5: You're good. It sounds like you have a lot of momentum. But high oil prices are top of mind, and a lot of your customers have that as a feedstock or feed input.

Speaker #5: But within the rest of the organization, do you still think you're going to need to hire as many people today as maybe you had thought, maybe a couple of quarters ago?

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Speaker #5: Are you seeing anything from a sales cycle or close rate, or anything to share there?

Jason Celino: Are you seeing anything from a sales cycle or close rate or anything to share there?

Speaker #6: Sure. So we might be able to tag team on this. I would say, in general, we're pretty avid users of AI internally. Certainly, our engineering teams have been using Coding Bots and agents for quite some time.

Speaker #4: I would say, by and large, our customers are busier than ever. I highlighted some of the industries, like construction, where they're building out these data centers.

Sanjit Biswas: I would say by and large, our customers are busier than ever. I highlighted some of the industries like construction, where they're building out these data centers. They're modernizing tons of infrastructure, including the electrical grids. We're seeing in public sector, they're still busy. You're right that there's some increase in input costs. Basically, high oil prices translate to increased price at the pump for fuel. That can be anywhere from 30% to 40% for some customers, but they are taking that challenge head-on and using technologies like what we offer in our Telematics offering to go and optimize things like engine idling and even routes. We see this as just kind of a cost of doing business for most of our customers. Their end market demand is strong, they, like I said earlier, are busier than ever.

Speaker #6: They're able to develop more features, go deeper with our customers. And we think that's a great thing. And then we're automating workflows throughout the rest of the business, which is driving efficiencies.

Speaker #4: They're modernizing tons of infrastructure, including the electrical grids. We're seeing in the public sector, they're still busy. You're right that there's some increase in input costs.

Speaker #6: I think Dominic could speak to some of the numbers. But overall, our G&A teams are adopting AI to automate tasks. We're using it throughout our go-to-market functions to do things like account research and really understand customer context but maybe you want to talk metrics.

Speaker #4: So basically, high oil prices translate to an increased price at the pump for fuel. That can be anywhere from 30% to 40% for some customers.

Speaker #4: But they are taking that challenge head-on and using technologies like what we offer in our telematics offering to go and optimize things like engine idling and even routes.

Speaker #1: Yeah. In terms of overall headcount expectations for the year, no changes to what we discussed on the last earnings call. Most of the net headcount increases are going to be in the go-to-market, again, just given that direct selling motion that we have.

Speaker #4: And so we see this as just kind of a cost of doing business for most of our customers, but their end market demand is strong.

Speaker #4: And so they, like I said earlier, are busier than ever.

Speaker #5: OK. Perfect. Thank you.

Jason Celino: Okay, perfect. Thank you.

Speaker #1: I would say other functions outside of go-to-market are probably going to be roughly the same size, if not smaller. So we do expect this improved productivity is going to be a bigger driver of growth versus adding more headcount.

Speaker #3: Great. Next question comes from Dan Jester with BMO, followed by Matt Martino with Goldman Sachs.

Mike Chang: Great. Next question comes from Dan Jester with BMO, followed by Matt Martino with Goldman Sachs.

Speaker #6: Great, thanks for taking my question. Maybe just one for me—so, maybe it'd be helpful to get an update on how AI is helping you scale the business internally.

Daniel Jester: Great. Thanks for taking my question. Maybe just one for me. Maybe just it'd be helpful to get an update in terms of how AI is helping you scale the business internally. A lot of great information on the product side today, but inside Samsara, what are you doing today? How's that scaling? Maybe, with the question earlier around hiring and, obviously part of that was around the go-to-market team, but within the rest of the organization, do you still think you're going to need to hire as many people today as maybe you had thought maybe a couple of quarters ago? Thank you.

Dan Jester: Great. Thanks for taking my question. Maybe just one for me. Maybe just it'd be helpful to get an update in terms of how AI is helping you scale the business internally. A lot of great information on the product side today, but inside Samsara, what are you doing today? How's that scaling? Maybe, with the question earlier around hiring and, obviously part of that was around the go-to-market team, but within the rest of the organization, do you still think you're going to need to hire as many people today as maybe you had thought maybe a couple of quarters ago? Thank you.

Speaker #1: And we saw that again in Q1. Double-digit growth in terms of ARR per employee. So we are seeing more productivity across the business.

Speaker #6: A lot of great information on the product side today. But inside Samsara, what are you doing today? How is that scaling? And maybe, with the question earlier around hiring—and obviously, part of that was around the go-to-market team.

Speaker #5: That's fantastic. Thanks.

Speaker #3: All right. The next question comes from Matt Martino with Goldman Sachs. Followed by Mark Schapel with Blue Capital.

Speaker #8: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the question. Maybe just to hit on the memory dynamic once more. Beyond managing your own margins and inventory, are you actually seeing weaker capitalized competitors pull back or stretch on price and lead times in a way that's opening deals for you?

Speaker #6: But within the rest of the organization, do you still think you're going to need to hire as many people today as maybe you had thought, maybe a couple of quarters ago?

Speaker #6: Thank you.

Speaker #4: Sure. So we might be able to tag-team on this. I would say, in general, we're pretty avid users of AI internally. Certainly, our engineering teams have been using coding bots and agents for quite some time.

Sanjit Biswas: Sure. We might be able to tag team on this. I would say in general, we're pretty avid users of AI internally. Certainly, our engineering teams have been using coding bots and agents for quite some time. They're able to develop more features, go deeper with our customers, and we think that's a great thing. We're automating workflows throughout the rest of the business, which is driving efficiencies. I think Dominic could speak to some of the numbers. Overall, our G&A teams are adopting AI to automate tasks. We're using it throughout our go-to-market functions to do things like account research and really understand customer context. Maybe you want to talk metrics.

Speaker #8: In other words, is there a genuine share gain window here that's starting to show up in the pipe? Thank you.

Speaker #6: Yeah, Matt. I'll take that. I think it's still too early to say. A lot of these products with this inventory you have to do supply planning and basically get the inventory built months in advance.

Speaker #4: They're able to develop more features and go deeper with our customers, and we think that's a great thing. Then we're automating workflows throughout the rest of the business, which is driving efficiencies.

Speaker #4: I think Dominic could speak to some of the numbers. But overall, our G&A teams are adopting AI to automate tasks. We're using it throughout our go-to-market functions to do things like account research and really understand customer context, but maybe you want to talk metrics.

Speaker #6: So my guess is we'll see some of these dynamics play out in the second half of the year. But that's just my kind of high-level take.

Speaker #8: Thanks, Anjit.

Speaker #3: All right. Next question from Mark Schapel with Blue Capital. Followed by Andrew DeGaspery with BNP.

Speaker #1: Yeah. In terms of overall headcount expectations for the year, there are no changes to what we discussed on the last earnings call. Most of the net headcount increases are going to be in go-to-market, again, just given that direct selling motion that we have.

Speaker #9: Hi. Thanks for taking my question. I want to drill into the public sector opportunity. If I could, in May, you had some product announcements on that front.

Dominic Phillips: Yeah. In terms of overall headcount expectations for the year, no changes to what we discussed on the last earnings call. Most of the net headcount increases are going to be in the go-to-market. Again, just given that direct selling motion that we have. I would say other functions outside of go-to-market are probably going to be roughly the same size, if not smaller. We do expect this improved productivity is going to be a bigger driver of growth versus adding more headcount. We saw that again in Q1, double-digit growth in terms of ARR per employee. We are seeing more productivity across the business.

Speaker #9: In the public sector, what products are you leading with? And is the product update rate, is that consistent with what you're seeing across other industries?

Speaker #1: I would say other functions outside of go-to-market are probably going to be roughly the same size, if not smaller. So, we do expect that this improved productivity is going to be a bigger driver of growth versus adding more headcount.

Speaker #9: Such as construction or large trucking fleets?

Speaker #6: Yeah. I would say, Mark, the public sector customers tend to adopt a similar set of products. And they're adopting the platform similar to the others that we talked about.

Speaker #1: And we saw that again in Q1, double-digit growth in terms of ARR per employee. So we are seeing more productivity across the business.

Speaker #6: So multi-product lands are quite common. This would be things like telematics, the cameras, but also equipment tractors and even connected asset maintenance. So I think their needs are very similar.

Daniel Jester: That's fantastic. Thank you.

Dan Jester: That's fantastic. Thank you.

Speaker #6: That's fantastic. Thank you.

Speaker #3: All right. The next question comes from Matt Martino with Goldman Sachs, followed by Mark Shaple with Blue Capital.

Mike Chang: All right. The next question comes from Matthew Martino with Goldman Sachs, followed by Mark Schappel with Loop Capital.

Speaker #6: There are some slightly different software integrations that we do because they use a different suite of software for reporting. Which we offer we have 350 integrations on our platform.

Speaker #7: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the question. Maybe just to hit on the memory dynamic once more—beyond managing your own margins and inventory, are you actually pulling back or stretching on price and deals for you?

Matthew Martino: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the question. Maybe just to hit on the memory dynamic once more. Beyond managing your own margins and inventory, are you actually seeing weaker capitalized competitors pull back or stretch on price and lead times in a way that's opening deals for you? In other words, is there a genuine share gain window here that's starting to show up in the pipe? Thank you.

Matt Martino: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the question. Maybe just to hit on the memory dynamic once more. Beyond managing your own margins and inventory, are you actually seeing weaker capitalized competitors pull back or stretch on price and lead times in a way that's opening deals for you? In other words, is there a genuine share gain window here that's starting to show up in the pipe? Thank you.

Speaker #6: But the core product dynamics and the lands look pretty similar, I would say.

Speaker #9: Thank you.

Speaker #3: Next question comes from Andrew DeGaspery with BNP. Followed by Alex Sklar with Raymond James.

Speaker #7: In other words, is there a genuine share gain window, pipe? Thank you.

Speaker #10: Hi. Can you hear me?

Speaker #4: Yeah, Matt, I'll take that. I think it's still too early to say. A lot of these products—with this inventory, you have to do supply planning and basically get the inventory built months in advance.

Sanjit Biswas: Yeah, Matt, I'll take that. I think it's still too early to say. A lot of these products with this inventory, you have to do supply planning and basically get the inventory built months in advance. My guess is we'll see some of these dynamics play out in the H2 of the year. That's just my high-level take.

Speaker #3: Yeah.

Speaker #10: Great. So thanks for fitting me in. I just wanted to follow up on the question asked earlier about the Hertz deal. In particular, I wanted to ask, is there a difference in the economics that is software-only versus a more traditional sale that includes hardware?

Speaker #4: So my guess is we'll see some of these dynamics play out in the second half of the year. But that's just my kind of high-level take.

Speaker #10: And separately, could you see this type of deal being more popular going forward? Or was this unique to rental company like Hertz?

Speaker #7: Thanks, Sanjit.

Dominic Phillips: Thanks, Sanjit. All right. Next question from Mark Schappel with Loop Capital, followed by Andrew DeGasperi with BNP.

Matt Martino: Thanks, Sanjit.

Speaker #3: All right. Next question from Mark Shaple with Blue Capital, followed by Andrew Dagasberry with BNP.

Mike Chang: All right. Next question from Mark Schappel with Loop Capital, followed by Andrew DeGasperi with BNP.

Speaker #1: Yeah. Definitely. Software-only deals are definitely gross margin accretive. One of the largest costs of goods sold that we have is the amortization of hardware devices.

Speaker #5: Hi, thanks for taking my question. I want to drill into the public sector opportunity, if I could. In May, you had some product announcements on that front.

Mark Schappel: Hi. Thanks for taking my question. I want to drill into the public sector opportunity, if I could. In May, you had some product announcements on that front. In the public sector, what products are you leading with? Is the product uptake rate consistent with what you're seeing across other industries, such as construction or large trucking fleets?

Speaker #1: And so when it's a software-only deal, that cost does not hit us. And it's accretive to gross margins. I think more and more of the products that we're rolling out, emerging products, we've got a number of these kind of software-only related products.

Speaker #5: In the public sector, what products are you leading with? And is the product update rate consistent with what you're seeing across other industries, such as construction or large trucking fleets?

Speaker #1: And so whether it's something like Hertz where it's something we can land with and be large-scale, or if it becomes an add-on seven of the top 10 net new ECV deals included one of these emerging products, I think it gives us opportunities to layer in some of these software-only products in addition to the core products that we've traditionally sold.

Speaker #4: Yeah, I would say, Mark, the public sector customers tend to adopt a similar set of products, and they're adopting the platform similar to the others that we talked about.

Sanjit Biswas: Yeah. I would say, Mark, the public sector customers tend to adopt a similar set of products, and they're adopting the platform similar to the others that we talked about. Multi-product lands are quite common. This would be things like Telematics, the cameras, equipment tractors, and even Connected Asset Maintenance. I think their needs are very similar. There are some slightly different software integrations that we do because they use a different suite of software for reporting, which we offer. We have 350 integrations on our platform. The core product dynamics and the lands look pretty similar, I would say.

Speaker #4: So, multi-product lands are quite common. This would be things like telematics, the cameras, but also equipment, tractors, and even connected asset maintenance. So, I think their needs are very similar.

Speaker #10: Thank you very much.

Speaker #3: Great. Next question comes from Alex Sklar with Raymond James. Followed by Jackson with William Blair.

Speaker #4: There are some slightly different software integrations that we do because they use a different suite of software for reporting, which we offer. We have 350 integrations on our platform.

Speaker #11: Great. Thanks. Sandra, just on the emerging product success, obviously, a big ROI selling motion for you. But can you talk about what you're seeing from customer budgets over the last few quarters for those newer products?

Speaker #4: But the core product dynamics and the lands look pretty similar, I would say.

Speaker #11: How much of the improved attach is product maturity on the Samsara side versus anything changing on the demand side or tapping into larger operations budgets?

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Mark Schappel: Thank you.

Speaker #3: Next question comes from Andrew Dagasberry with BNP, followed by Alex Sklar with Raymond James.

Dominic Phillips: Next question comes from Andrew DeGasperi with BNP, followed by Alex Sklar with Raymond James.

Mike Chang: Next question comes from Andrew DeGasperi with BNP, followed by Alex Sklar with Raymond James.

Speaker #6: It's an interesting question. I would say awareness is growing that these products exist now. You can track smaller tools and pieces of equipment with things like asset tags.

Speaker #7: Hi. Can you hear me?

Andrew DeGasperi: Hi. Can you hear me?

Speaker #3: Yeah.

Dominic Phillips: Yeah.

Speaker #7: Great, so thanks for fitting me in. I just wanted to follow up on the question asked earlier about the Hertz deal. In particular, I wanted to ask: Is there a difference in the economics that is software-only versus a more traditional sale that includes hardware?

Andrew DeGasperi: Great. Thanks for fitting me in. I just wanted to follow up on the question asked earlier about the Hertz deal. In particular, I wanted to ask, is there a difference in the economics that is software only versus a more traditional sale that includes hardware? Separately, could you see this type of deal be more popular going forward, or was this unique to a rental company like Hertz?

Speaker #6: I mentioned earlier the switch from kind of time-based or mileage-based maintenance to data-driven. So I think it's probably a mix of both. And we have become more mature in terms of how we sell it, how our sales team engages on selling the broader platform opportunity.

Speaker #7: And separately, could you see this type of deal being more popular going forward? Or was this unique to a rental company like Hertz?

Speaker #6: So it's probably even, is my guess.

Speaker #1: Yeah, definitely. Software-only deals are definitely gross margin accretive. One of the largest costs of goods sold that we have is the amortization of hardware devices.

Dominic Phillips: Yeah, definitely. Software-only deals are definitely gross margin accretive. One of the largest costs of goods sold that we have is the amortization of hardware devices. When it's a software-only deal, that cost does not hit us, and it's accretive to gross margins. I think more and more of the products that we're rolling out, emerging products, we've got a number of these software-only related products. Whether it's something like Hertz, where it's something we can land with and be large scale, or if it becomes an add-on, seven of the top 10 net new ACV deals included one of these emerging products. I think it gives us opportunities to layer in some of these software-only products in addition to the core products that we've traditionally sold.

Speaker #3: All right. Thank you. Next question comes from Jackson with William Blair. Followed by Bella with JPMorgan.

Speaker #1: And so, when it's a software-only deal, that cost does not hit us, and it's accretive to gross margins. I think more and more of the products that we're rolling out—emerging products—we've got a number of these kind of software-only-related products.

Speaker #12: Hey, guys. This is Jackson Bodley on for Dylan Becker. So looking at the operational AI with Waste Intelligence, Ground Intelligence, that's described as one of your most important long-term opportunities.

Speaker #1: And so, whether it's something like Hertz, where it's something we can land with and be large-scale, or if it becomes an add-on, seven of the top 10 net new ECV deals included one of these emerging products. I think it gives us opportunities to layer in some of these software-only products in addition to the core products that we've traditionally sold.

Speaker #12: But it's still very early on. I was just curious to get your thoughts on maybe how you plan to price and monetize agentic capabilities over time.

Speaker #12: Any thoughts on what the adoption ramp could look like over the next few years? And how material this could become relative to the core product suite you guys have?

Speaker #6: Yeah. I would say we're excited to get these out there. Like I mentioned earlier on the call, we are experimenting with different pricing models.

Speaker #7: Thank you very much.

Andrew DeGasperi: Thank you very much.

Speaker #3: Great. Next question comes from Alex Sklar with Raymond James, followed by Jackson with William Blair.

Dominic Phillips: Great. Next question comes from Alex Sklar with Raymond James, followed by Jackson with William Blair.

Mike Chang: Great. Next question comes from Alex Sklar with Raymond James, followed by Jackson with William Blair.

Speaker #6: Some of these products, like Waste Intelligence, are sold alongside existing SKUs. Others, like Ground Intelligence, can be sold as a data product to Dominic's software point earlier.

Speaker #5: Great, thanks. Sandra, just on the emerging product success—obviously, a big ROI selling motion for you—but can you talk about what you’re seeing from customer budgets over the last few quarters for those newer products?

Alexander Sklar: Great. Thanks. Sanjit, just on the emerging product success, obviously a big ROI selling motion for you, can you talk about what you're seeing from customer budgets over the last few quarters for those newer products? How much of the improved attach is product maturity on the Samsara side versus anything changing on the demand side or tapping into larger operations budgets?

Alex Sklar: Great. Thanks. Sanjit, just on the emerging product success, obviously a big ROI selling motion for you, can you talk about what you're seeing from customer budgets over the last few quarters for those newer products? How much of the improved attach is product maturity on the Samsara side versus anything changing on the demand side or tapping into larger operations budgets?

Speaker #6: So you don't necessarily even need our hardware to get insights into road conditions. And then on the agentic side, we're in beta on that front.

Speaker #5: How much of the improved attach is product maturity on the Samsara side versus anything changing on the demand side, or tapping into larger operations budgets?

Speaker #6: And we have a number of agents we're testing out. And so a lot of that is about finding the right applications and fit for those agents and then kind of partnering with the customer to do the discovery.

Speaker #4: It's an interesting question. I would say awareness is growing that these products exist now. You can track smaller tools and pieces of equipment with things like asset tags.

Sanjit Biswas: It's an interesting question. I would say awareness is growing that these products exist now. You can track smaller tools and pieces of equipment with things like Asset Tag. I mentioned earlier the switch from time-based or mileage-based maintenance to data-driven. I think it's probably a mix of both, and we have become more mature in terms of how we sell it, how our sales team engages on selling the broader platform opportunity. It's probably even, is my guess.

Speaker #3: Great. So our last question today comes from Bella with JPMorgan.

Speaker #13: Hi. This is Bella on for Alexi Gogolev. Thanks for taking our question. So just unpacking the main drivers of net new ARR this quarter, thinking about new logos versus expansion, large customers versus core, where do you define that mix today?

Speaker #4: So, it's probably even, is my guess.

Speaker #3: All right. Thank you. Next question comes from Jackson with William Blair, followed by Bella with JPMorgan.

Alexander Sklar: All right. Thank you.

Alex Sklar: All right. Thank you.

Speaker #13: And how do you see that evolving within the next few quarters?

Dominic Phillips: Next question comes from Jackson with William Blair, followed by Bella with JP Morgan.

Speaker #6: Yeah. Biggest drivers for the 27% net new ARR growth caused currency second highest quarter over the last nine quarters. Large customer momentum. Again, the 11-million-dollar-plus transactions and the strength in the 100K-plus and 1-million-dollar-plus customers.

Speaker #8: Hey, guys. This is Jackson Bogley on for Dylan Becker. So, looking at the operational AI with Waste Intelligence, Ground Intelligence—that’s described as one of your most important long-term opportunities.

Jackson Bodley: Hey, guys, this is Jackson Bodley on for Dylan Becker. Looking at the operational AI with Waste Intelligence, Ground Intelligence, that's described as one of your most important long-term opportunities, but it's still very early on. I was just curious to get your thoughts on maybe how you plan to price and monetize agentic capabilities over time? Any thoughts on what the adoption ramp could look like over the next few years, and how material this could become relative to the core product suite you guys have?

Jackson Bogli: Hey, guys, this is Jackson Bodley on for Dylan Becker. Looking at the operational AI with Waste Intelligence, Ground Intelligence, that's described as one of your most important long-term opportunities, but it's still very early on. I was just curious to get your thoughts on maybe how you plan to price and monetize agentic capabilities over time? Any thoughts on what the adoption ramp could look like over the next few years, and how material this could become relative to the core product suite you guys have?

Speaker #6: I'd say number two, again, multi-product adoption, nine of the top 10, two-plus products. Four of the top 10, four-plus products. And then the last big driver is obviously these kind of new frontiers, whether it's the 20% net new ECV mix plus from emerging products or the international or even the specific verticals that we mentioned, like wholesale retail trade in the quarter.

Speaker #8: But it's still very early on. I was just curious to get your thoughts on maybe how you plan to price and monetize agentic capabilities over time.

Speaker #8: Any thoughts on what the adoption ramp could look like over the next few years? And how material this could become relative to the core product suite you guys have?

Speaker #4: Yeah, I would say we're excited to get these out there. Like I mentioned earlier on the call, we are experimenting with different pricing models.

Sanjit Biswas: Yeah. I would say we're excited to get these out there. Like I mentioned earlier on the call, we are experimenting with different pricing models.

A lot of that is about finding the right applications and fit for those agents and then kind of partnering with the customer to do the discovery.

Speaker #3: Great. So this concludes the question and answer portion. Thank you all for attending our Q1 fiscal year 2027 earnings call. Before I let you go, I have a few short announcements.

Speaker #4: Some of these products, like Waste Intelligence, are sold alongside existing SKUs. Others, like Ground Intelligence, can be sold as a data product—to Dominic's software point earlier.

Speaker #3: We'll be attending the Mizuho Technology Conference in New York City on June 9th. The FBN Virtual Tech Conference on June 10th. And the TD Cowen Corporate Access Day in Toronto on June 17th.

Speaker #4: So you don't necessarily even need our hardware to get insights into road conditions. And then, on the agentic side, we're in beta on that front.

Speaker #3: In addition, we'll be hosting the RBC Bus Tour and the Wolf Bus Tour on July 7th. We hope to see you at one of these events.

Speaker #4: And we have a number of agents we're testing out. So, a lot of that is about finding the right applications and fit for those agents, and then partnering with the customer to do the discovery.

Speaker #3: Finally, we're hosting our Investor Day on June 24th in Las Vegas. We'll provide additional insights into Samsara's trajectory and the overall state of physical operations.

Speaker #9: Hi, this is Bella on for Alexi Gogolev. Thanks for taking our question. So, just unpacking the main drivers of net new ARR this quarter, thinking about new logos versus expansion, large customers versus core—where do you define that mix today?

Ella Smith: Hi, this is Bella on for Aleksey Gogolev. Thanks for taking our question. Just unpacking the main drivers of net new ARR this quarter, thinking about new logos versus expansion, large customers versus core, where do we define that mix today, and how do you see that evolving within the next few quarters?

Speaker #9: And how do you see that evolving within the next few quarters?

Speaker #4: Yeah. The biggest drivers for the 27% net new ARR growth: continued large customer momentum—again, the $1 million-plus transactions and the strength in the $100K-plus and $1 million-plus customers. This was our second highest quarter over the last nine quarters.

Dominic Phillips: Yeah. Biggest drivers for the 27% net new ARR growth, constant currency, second highest quarter over the last nine quarters. Large customer momentum, again, the $11 million-plus transactions and the strength in the $100K-plus and $1 million-plus customers. I'd say number two, again, multi-product adoption, nine of the top 10, two-plus products, four of the top 10, four-plus products. The last big driver is obviously these kind of new frontiers, whether it's the 20% net new ACV mix plus from emerging products or the international or even the specific verticals that we mentioned, like wholesale, retail, and trade in the quarter. Great. This concludes the question and answer portion. Thank you all for attending our Q1 fiscal year 2027 earnings call. Before I let you go, I have a few short announcements. We'll be attending the Mizuho Technology Conference in New York City on 9 June.

Speaker #4: I'd say number two, again, multi-product adoption: nine of the top ten have two-plus products, and four of the top ten have four-plus products. And then the last big driver is obviously these kind of new frontiers, whether it's the 20% net new ACV mix plus from emerging products, or the international, or even the specific verticals that we mentioned like wholesale, retail, and trade in the quarter.

Speaker #3: Great. So this concludes the question-and-answer portion. Thank you all for attending our Q1 fiscal year 2027 earnings call. Before I let you go, I have a few short announcements.
