| Measure | 3 months toSep 27, 2026 | 3 months toSep 28, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $547M | $549.5M | -0.46% |
| Profit | $15.1M | $44.3M | -65.89% |
| Profit per share | $0.08 | $0.23 | -65.22% |
| Free Cash Flow | $61.7M | $104.3M | -40.81% |
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.

“I’m encouraged by how quickly our system has aligned around Dave’s Way , our multi-year business strategy rooted in the values and standards established by our founder,”
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.
