| Measure | 3 months toSep 30, 2026 | 3 months toSep 30, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $50.6B | $49.7B | +1.93% |
| Profit | -$71M | -$6.6B | +98.93% |

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.
A short summary of each call — what the quarter showed, what management expects and whether they delivered on what they said last time — with the full transcript underneath.
“Solid underlying fundamentals within our core businesses have powered a faster recovery to our earnings trajectory than previously anticipated,”
Quoted verbatim from the release, and shown only when the filing attributes it to a named person.
Releases land before the open or after the close, so the window runs from the close before the report day to the close of the session after it — the reaction is inside it either way.
