Bull points
- Q1 saw strong performance that exceeded the high end of our guidance. For Q1, we delivered 15.7% revenue growth and 17% non-GAAP operating margin which represents 650 basis points of year-over-year expansion.
- I'm particularly pleased with these results, given the ongoing headwinds from a challenging construction environment.
- On our last earnings poll, I outlined why Procore will be an AI winner. Our flagship products and early investments in AI, including our acquisition of DataGrid, have positioned us well to capitalize on this disruptive technology.
Bear points
- how do you think about the glide path for maybe that growth rate starting to converge with revenue growth?
- we're going to start to see some growth margin headwinds that come from that.
- There is inherently some latency in government contracts, but it is in order to allow us to participate with them, we need to have that authorization.
