| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $1.2B | +18.9% | +0.8% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $70.7M | -7.2% | +44.3% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +80.3% | -2.1% | +1.4% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +8.9% | +20.5% | -27.6% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +6.0% | -21.9% | +43.2% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $237.2M | +16.5% | -61.2% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +20.0% | -2.0% | -61.5% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 12243.1% | +363350.9% | -85.6% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 1.95x | +70.8% | +4.5% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $1.9B | +68.7% | +0.2% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 1.58 vs 4.18 | -62.2% | 0.50 vs 1.38 | -63.7% |

Operator: Hello, and thank you for standing by. My name is John, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Commvault First Quarter Fiscal Year 2027 Earnings Conference Call. I would now like to turn the conference over to Michael Melnyk, Vice President of Investor Relations for Commvault. Please go ahead. Michael Melnyk: Good morning, and welcome to our earnings conference call. To begin, I'd like to remind you that statements made on today's call will include forward-looking statements about Commvault's future expectations, plans and prospects. All such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Please refer to the cautionary language in today's earnings release and Commvault's most recent periodic reports filed with the SEC for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause the company's actual results to be materially different from those contemplated in these forward-looking statements. Commvault does not assume any obligation to update these statements. During this call, Commvault's financial results are presented on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation between the non-GAAP and GAAP measures can be found on our website. Thank you again for joining us. Now I'll turn it over to our CEO, Sanjay Mirchandani, for his opening remarks. Sanjay? Sanjay Mirchandani: Good morning, and thank you for joining us. In Q1, we delivered results ahead of expectations on both the top and bottom line. A few highlights include: subscription ARR grew 22% to $1.05 billion. Our SaaS business fueled this growth, growing 38% to $424 million in ARR. Subscription revenue increased 16% to $267 million, led by our SaaS business, which hit a milestone of $100 million of quarterly revenue, and we increased EBIT margins over 200 basis points to approximately 23%. Let me step back on the numbers and discuss the one thing driving our continued growth. In one word, it's data. Even before the rise of AI, data was the lifeblood of every organization. From systems of record like ERP and CRM systems, to find our own collaboration applications, organizations run on data. Today, AI creates and leverages more data and puts more data at risk. That's why managing and protecting it is more critical than ever. This is exactly what we do and why AI is a tailwind for us. Commvault is positioned to be the foundational platform for AI resilience, protecting the data, workloads and applications our customers run their business on. AI is changing how organizations think about resilience. As AI creates more data, more identities and more automated access to that data, having a backup copy is no longer sufficient. Customers are asking whether they can trust the data, govern which agents and humans have access and how quickly they can recover cleanly when something goes wrong. Commvault sits right there at the data layer. If the data is compromised, the business is compromised. And if the …
