Set against the company's own guidance and the same quarter a year earlier, not analysts' estimates, which we do not hold. Adjusted figures are the company's own non-GAAP measures, as stated in the release.
| Measure | 3 months toSep 30, 2026 | 3 months toSep 30, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $4.2B | $3.4B | +23.94% |
| Profit | -$94M | $321M | -129.28% |
| Profit per share | -$0.36 | $1.18 | -130.51% |
| Free Cash Flow | $32M | $257M | -87.55% |
These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.
Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.
