Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

All right, thanks so much Mike. We’re so thrilled to be here with everybody and I’ll tell you what we’re here in this beautiful San Francisco on the 60th floor of Salesforce Tower and it is a gorgeous day, 70 degrees the AI capital of the world and we’re coming here to you live, really excited about everything that’s going on. So let’s start with the highlights from one of the absolute best years in our history, and one of the best performances in software ever and guiding one of the best performances in software ever. We have delivered phenomenal performance across revenue, across margin expansion, across cash flow, and cRPO and RPO. I mean, the numbers are really incredible.

For the full-year, we delivered $41.5 billion in revenue, up 10% year-over-year, 9% constant-currency. We had $11.2 billion in revenue for the fourth quarter, up 12% year-over-year, 10% in constant-currency. cRPO rose to $35.1 billion, up 16% year-over-year and 13% in constant-currency. And we passed an incredible milestone with $72 billion in total RPO, which is up 14% year-over-year. Now that is $72 billion in total RPO, up 14% year-over-year in case you missed that point. I did read a tweet that RPO does not matter, but evidently, we have it if it does matter. So, total RPO, $72 billion. Last year, we laid out a path towards double-digit revenue growth by the second-half of fiscal year ’27 and we’re hitting our marks.

And based on our strong Q4 performance and the fast start with Informatica, we’re updating our fiscal year ’30 revenue target to $63 billion. Now that means we’ve only spent two years in the 40s, kind of hard to believe. I have never seen performance like this, but this obviously is not a rational market. We all know this. So, we’re using our remarkable cash flows to take advantage. This is not our first SaaSpocalypse. We have been through many SaaSpocalypses. I remember the horrible SaaSpocalypse of 2020 when not only the software industry was dying, but we were all dying.

But we made it through that. And now everyone is back doing great. So, we’re so grateful to make it through that and we’re going to make it through this one as well. And it’s just in a great marketing opportunity and a great buying opportunity and that’s why we are doing this incredible repurchase authorization of $50 billion. In fiscal year ’26, we returned more than $14 billion or 99% of our free cash flow to shareholders. Thank you, Robin, for that. And today, we’re increasing our share repurchase authorization to $50 billion because these are some low prices. So, Rob will share more about that in a moment.

The biggest brands in the world are choosing Salesforce to lead their Agentic transformation. Companies like Amazon, Ford, AT&T, Moderna, GM, Pfizer, so many, and these are big deals in Q4, wins over $1 million were up 26% year-over-year. That’s just so we know, in Q4, wins over $1 million were up 26% year-over-year. Congratulations, Miguel.

Wins over $10 million were up 33% year-over-year. For example, the U S Army, run by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll’s doing an amazing job, has awarded us a 10-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract, with a ceiling of $5.6 billion. Thank you, Dan. This level of financial performance is a clear signal, a clear signal that companies across every industry and region are investing in Salesforce to become Agentic Enterprises, just like we’ve been talking about now for two years at Dreamforce that the Agentic Enterprise is a real idea and we’re going to talk about Agentforce and I think it just became an $800 million business. We’re going to talk about that.

You’ve heard me talk about it at Dreamforce and on these calls, our vision of humans and agents working together for years, companies bought apps. We all use apps. I’ve got apps right here on my phone. I’ve got apps on my computer. But now I’m using apps and agents. I use them at-home, I use them in my company. We can be talking about that. That is a reality. We have a — we have 83,000 employees here at Salesforce Humans and we have lots of agents running around as well. Miguel qualified 50,000 leads this week with agents. So, we have apps and agents, we have humans and agents working together.

We’ve been talking about that at Dreamforce as well. And this is just an incredible opportunity for Salesforce. Our market is bigger than ever because not only selling apps, we’re selling apps and agents. So, bringing humans, agents, apps, data together, not just to make people better at their jobs, but to redefine how work gets done. This is just an incredible exciting moment in software. So, we’re seeing incredible demand for Agentforce. In its first 15 months, we closed 29,000 deals, up 50% quarter-over-quarter. Customers in-production have increased as well, nearly 50% in Q4.

It can do more — have more power, more capability than ever. If you haven’t seen the new Agentforce, you haven’t seen Agentforce, the level of determinism, the voice capabilities, Agentforce Studio, Agentforce Builder. We are spending a huge amount of time on Agentforce. I just saw the new Agentforce demos from our team. It was incredible. We even have Agentforce running in Slack. We have Agentforce builder running in Slack, we have amazing things happening and our Agentforce and data 360 ARR, including Informatica now exceeds $2.9 billion. I heard ARR doesn’t matter anymore, but in case it does, we have $2.9 billion, up 200% year-over-year. More than 75% of our top 100 wins in Q4 included both Agentforce and Data 360.

In a bit, we’re going to hear from three amazing customers, Wyndham, one of my very favorite customers in the world, the world’s largest hotel chain, SharkNinja, I just got one of their great new products I’m sure you know about, they’ve got the best slushy machine, but one of the most innovative consumer product companies in the world, Ancester, an incredible community of B2B software founders, executives, investors, and I think you all know that I love Jason, but I’ve never been more excited about our business here at Salesforce.

No one else is delivering this level of capability at this scale to this many customers and we are taking the power of the agentic enterprise of these apps and Salesforce, and we’re giving them the security, reliability, availability, scalability that you need to make them successful in business like ours, but in all businesses, in small and medium businesses, in general sized businesses and very large enterprises, in the government and in ISVs as well. So, this is a category that just did not really exist a year-ago.

I will just say that look at IT service management. We just launched Salesforce IT service in October. Salesforce ITSM and in just a few months Miguel has won over 180 customers, amazing Miguel. But I especially loved five customers who get to leave the purgatory of ServiceNow like Sunrun, Cornerstone, CoolSys and there is others too that we’re not allowed to mention but I might mention them anyway, who are leaving ServiceNow now for the new Salesforce IT service product which is about apps and agents helping you manage all your ITSM, but don’t just think it’s just that. We built an amazing new life sciences product this year, Agentforce for Life Sciences and since we launched so many of the global pharma companies and I’ve met with so many of the CEOs myself.

They’re leaving Viva, the purgatory of Viva, including AstraZeneca, Novartis, Takeda, and of course, Albert at Pfizer, they’re all saying that they are going to Salesforce Life Sciences, which is a product that has apps and agents. And it’s amazing. They are the most regulated businesses in the world, and they’re choosing Salesforce. And you know over the years, I’ve met with untold numbers of customers, Call-IT thousands, Call-IT more than that. They used to tell me that maybe okay I want to roll my own AI, I’m going to build my own model, I’m going to build my own agent. I said tell me about that, let me know-how that goes, show-me exactly what you’re doing. Or you can just turn it on in the Salesforce product you already have. You have Sales Cloud, turn-on the agents.

You have Service Cloud, turn-on the agents, you have marketing cloud, turn-on the agency, you have Slack, turn-on SlackBot. And that idea that every app now has the capability to have agents. So, customers tell me that they want to basically kind of get to that next level and the way to do that is by including this context, the ability for the AI, the data to know you. No better example of that than SlackBot. Immediately as you turn it on, you’re a Slack customer, it looks at all your Slack. It looks at your DMs, it looks through Salesforce. It looks through Google. It looks even that Microsoft teams as hard as that is for some agents to go and do, but we’ve told them how to do it.

And then it says, I understand your business and I can give you help, advice, support, and in fact a recent survey of 100 CIOs found that the number of companies planning to use a platform like this, this idea of apps and agents has now doubled just in the last 18 months because of this, they realize this is more than just turning on [Indecipherable] on your Mac Mini, okay, which by the way, I have a Mac and a setup is great. OpenClaw, I love it. But for companies who want to have the reliability, availability, security, the sharing models, the key parts of that to really make sure that the business is safe and secure while you’re running all these skilled agents. Well, let’s just know that is what Salesforce’s is doing.

And that’s why Salesforce has become one of these incredible companies, because our platform provides these amazing four layers that you see right here that everyone needs to convert raw intelligence into real work. Everything they need to become an agentic enterprise just look at this, look at what we’ve built, look at what we have built and thank you to our team they have done a phenomenal job. Srini can’t be here because he’s in India, he was at the India AI Summit. This week he could not make it back here in time.

Look at what our engineering team has built. And thank you to them. Look at where it starts. First of all, yes, we can use all those large language models. We love them all. We love all of our children equally. And down below here, whether it’s anthropic or OpenAI or Mistral or Llama, all of them and there is more coming. They’re amazing, world models are coming. They’re amazing. They’re all down below here and we’re using them. And then of course, we bring them into Data 360, and that lets you harmonize your data, integrate your data and federate. That means connect into other data sources throughout your company and grab it.

Other data repositories you might be using Snowflake or Databricks, you might be using big query or anything, even IBM mainframes and you can bring it into Data 360, activate your data and then it comes up into your apps. So if you’re using the service app and you want to have an experience like help.salesforce.com for your company. Now the service app has that agentic capability, the data is coming up and it comes up to the next level to Agentforce and you can build your agents, train your agents, put the guardrails in your agents, give them voice, they can talk now, they’re talking and then all of a sudden, you can even manage and orchestrate and collaborate from Slack.

So, this is our architecture, and all of this is unified, integrated and that idea that we can deliver this unified platform to our customers to help them deliver humans and agents working together. So you can see right here, Agentforce has the tooling to build, to manage, to orchestrate the agents, to make them talk, to give them determinism, to give them the capabilities that they want. And then we have the engagement layer to deliver agentic enterprises where work happens in Slack across our apps. If you haven’t seen in Slackbot.

I talked to a lot of customers like I don’t see Slackbot. Why are? I have the free edition. I’m like, well maybe you should pay us and get the Enterprise edition because boom, that’s when all the Slackbot turns on and you can go through your whole company, run your company. I had one of our customers over last night, Aneel Bhusri at Workday, I’m like have you seen Slackbot? And he’s like, no, I haven’t seen it yet. I’m like you’re the biggest slack customer we have like I just sit there and say look at this and I’m like said a slackbot. I’m having drinks with and Aneel and I just am trying to like give him a demo slackbot.

What should I say to him? What is the strategy between Salesforce and workday and then boom, boom, boom, it just went through the whole thing, showed him every deal, he couldn’t believe everything that was happening between this our two companies, he had to get updated because he’s the new CEO of Workday and it was amazing. That was my real experience, together all of this is the complete operating system for the Agentic enterprise. Yes, I’m using it myself, and we’re using it.

We’re customer zero. And that’s crucial because look, we already know now our customers aren’t going to deploy just one agent. There’s going to be many agents, many capabilities, the ability to automate many different types of work, and they’re going to deploy hundreds or thousands, many are going to be from us, others can be from other amazing companies like one that I just mentioned, Workday, I love them, but these agents can’t work-in isolation. Like ET, each one of them needs to [Indecipherable] home.

Okay. So that home is Salesforce and they are calling us through the MCP server or maybe even just through one of our core platforms. And the more agents that our company deploys us or anyone else, the more essential our platform becomes. This is my personal testimonial. I’m giving you my personal testimonial how I run Salesforce. You can come here, I will show you how I run a business with apps and agents together and it’s why nearly 90% of Forbes top-50 AI companies, use Salesforce and Slack and if there is a SaaSpocalypse, I think it might be eaten by the SaaSquatch because there are lot of companies using a lot of SaaS because SaaS just got a lot better with agents as a service. Now I won’t tell you exactly tell you what that says, but let’s just say there is SaaS and there is also agents as a service.

Now, I want to tell you how we’re measuring the value our platform delivers to customers. Today, we are one of the largest consumers of tokens in the world to date, now over 19 trillion tokens. So, we continue to show you that because we want you to see that we’re actually doing what we say. I know that there is been some enterprise software companies who say they’re doing agents or they’re doing AI, but then they’re not showing up in the token rankings from the language model companies. So, here’s 19 trillion, okay, but we really want to take this to another level.

And another level is a token on its own doesn’t know your customers, your pipeline, your org chart, but Salesforce does. And the value isn’t in the token. The value is when what our platform does with it, the work. That’s why today, we’re introducing an additional metric, the Agentic work unit created by our very own Patrick Stokes sitting here at the table, the AWU, not to be confused with our customer AWS and AWU represents one unit of AI work, agentic work unit.

We’re rolling this out to see how you like it actually here in earnings. It’s a record updated, workflow triggered, decision made, MCP called. And to date, AI agents on the Salesforce platform delivered 2.4 billion agentic work units. That is where AI isn’t just thinking or calling things, it’s getting work done, work done, transactions. And in Q4 alone, we delivered about $771 million of them, we’re still trying to exactly figure out exactly what these numbers mean for us, but what it means for me is that we are doing what we say, that is, we are explaining that humans and agents are working together, we are showing you a business at-scale running them, we are showing them how we are making our business better.

Our service is so much better this year because we’re using our new Service Cloud with our omnichannel supervisor deployed with Agentforce. Our sales, Miguel just hit record sales numbers, you can see them. We’ve never sold or had so much ACV in our history in the fourth quarter because not only does he has 15,000 account executives, but he has all these agents who are out there doing this amazing work. So, that is so exciting. This is raw intelligence converted into real work. It’s driving efficiency and growth. Okay, now let me tell you about one of the biggest drivers of these work units, Slackbot.

A lot of you use Slack, I use Slack every day. It’s the employee ultimate employee agent. And many of you know that X, the social media platform hosts about 500 million messages a day, right? Elon Musk do an amazing job on X, incredible what he has done. But did you know that Slack hosts about a billion messages a day. So while X, amazing X, I use it myself, I just tweeted something 500 million messages a day. Well, Slack is hosting a billion messages a day. And remember every one of them is about getting work done.

That’s why we bought it. Remember, Slack’s ticker symbol was work. Slackbot can access all of those messages as well as your files, your calendar, your Salesforce, your Google, your Microsoft teams, your this, your that. Slackbot goes around, pulls it all together, and then it knows your business, so then it’s able to orchestrate with other agents that has an incredible partner marketplace, really the number-one AI ecosystem in the world, and has more than 350 AI apps and agents already, there is no other AI ecosystem like it.

One of those partners is the great anthropic, we love Anthropic. We love Dario, Daniela, I tweeted about what they did yesterday, incredible demo. Just yesterday, Dario demonstrated how he is doing something amazing with Salesforce and the enterprise. Every single one of their demos, whether it was for HR, engineering, investment banking, started it ending in Slack. Pretty awesome. And so, it’s about agents and apps, humans, agents, it’s all working together. You can see it in his demos, you can see it in our demos. By the way, Anthropic runs its whole global operation on Salesforce and Slack.

I think actually every AI company does. Yeah, I think they do. So, maybe you saw they’re hiring a Salesforce admin, Dario. Let us know if you need new names, but I think it’s a just a point we’re making that Salesforce is doing great with these AI companies. We’re so thrilled of our relationship with Dario and I think we just put another $100 million into the new round. We’re up about $330 million into Anthropic invested. It’s almost about 1% of Anthropic. And believe me, I wish we had invested a lot more, John. I don’t know why we didn’t do more. Okay. With that, it’s time we’re going to hear from some of our most inspiring customers becoming Enterprises. We have the great Mark.

Mark, I see you. Mark is there from SharkNinja. Hey Mark.

Mark Barrocas — Chief Executive Officer

Hey Marc, congratulations to you and your team. What a quarter.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Mark, I’m so thrilled to talk to you and I love all your products and thank you for the Christmas presents. I have them and I’m using them.

Mark Barrocas — Chief Executive Officer

Appreciate it. I’m really happy that so much of our holiday selling season was really driven by the launch of Salesforce that, as you know, happened at the end of September and would love to talk to you about it.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well, Mark, you know that we’ve been working together now just me and you as well as with our whole sales team to make we can automate all of SharkNinja. We want to automate your sales, service, marketing, your commerce, everything you’re doing, I’m so excited about your future. We have our best team working with you.

Give us your view of what’s happened and the value we’ve been able to deliver, what’s your biggest surprise, what in the slushy machine, what came out?

Mark Barrocas — Chief Executive Officer

Look Marc, I mean we launched 25 products a year and we’re really innovating at speed and we need customer service solutions that move just as fast. I mean most companies treat service as a cost center for us Marc, it’s really about lifetime value of the consumer. I mean, we view service as a growth engine for the business. And it’s not just about serving — servicing problems, it’s about building lifetime value. We set-up with you and your team a guided shopping agent in eight weeks right before the holiday season. I was nervous about it as I went to my team and I said we’re putting this in-place in October.

There’s generally kind of a cut-off in our business where after October 1st you don’t really do anything and we launched this in eight weeks and it brought tremendous value to the consumer. I mean it helped them with researching and buying and troubleshooting really all-in-one seamless conversation so it was a great success for us this holiday season.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well Mark, I think that working with you has been extremely interesting because you’re very much a B2C company and there is so many exciting things that you’re doing. When you look at what Salesforce has done and deployed, especially in regards to AI and agents and apps, where has it really impacted you the most?

Mark Barrocas — Chief Executive Officer

Well, look, let me start with this stat for you. I mean, just since we launched Salesforce in Q4, I mean, agents have participated in a quarter of a million consumer engagements during that period of time. So just in a really, really short period of time, a quarter of a million engagements. We put so many products out into the market and sometimes that many products create complexity for the consumer and so whether they’re calling about a service issue or a troubleshooting issue or a where’s my order issue, it’s allowed our customer service agents to focus on really the really challenging issues and it’s freed up an enormous amount of time for them. It’s a win for the consumer because the consumer is getting their questions answered quickly, they’re not waiting and it’s a win for us because it’s driving down cost and it’s in the end just having a better service experience.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well Mark, I just want to thank you so much. We’re so grateful to you as a customer of Salesforce it has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you, working with you, and I think that we have such a great future together and thank you for the Christmas presents. I’m using them. I made some amazing mango sorbet actually this week and it was awesome.

Mark Barrocas — Chief Executive Officer

Sounds great. Thanks Marc.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Bye Mark. Great to see you.

Well, I’ve been so thrilled to work with Mark, but I have to also introduce you to another really good friend of mine, Geoff at Wyndham, and you probably heard from Geoff this week, he had a phenomenal quarter doing great the number-one hotel in the world. Geoff, we are so thrilled. Geoff, congratulations on everything that’s going on with Wyndham. We’re thrilled.

Give us your vision of what’s going on in the world and with Wyndham and we’d love to hear how you’re using Salesforce as well.

Geoff Ballotti — Chief Executive Officer

Well, we have Marc. I mean when you think about just how far we’ve come in last year, today we have over 5,000 deployments of Agentforce across our over 8,300 hotels. It is a huge, huge part of our agentic platform and we are really just getting started. We’re starting to roll-out to Canada and internationally but with Salesforce tools like MuleSoft and data 360 we have built a single-source of truth, unified all of our guest’s reservation information and data, all of their loyalty information and all of their CRM data so that all our agents now are operating with the same trusted and real-time guest and hotel information which they weren’t before.

We’re calling it Wyndham Guest 360 it is a key enabler for our agent foundry and it is delighting in better guest experiences, improving those experiences, and building on increased loyalty engagement, but most importantly Marc, you’ve talked a lot about labor which is agentic. It is taking millions of dollars of labor costs from our small-business owners in the front-office out of their operation, and it is driving millions of dollars of increased revenue for these franchisees.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well, I just have to say this one thing, which is I have been hugely surprised at how fast you have gone, Geoff. We work with all the major hotel companies and I love them all and I stay-in them all. They’re fantastic. I’m actually going to stay at Wyndham Hotel tonight. I’m flying east. But I have to ask you this question, Geoff, because I don’t understand how are you going so fast? What are you doing? Is this because you’re leading from the top? I mean, you seem to like — I just talked from Mark at SharkNinja. He really is owning this.

Why are you guys going so fast? Why are you doing so well? I mean, it’s just incredible. You’re loading out these apps and agents and your team is crushing it. What is going on?

Geoff Ballotti — Chief Executive Officer

We’re in the hospitality business and we always say it’s all about humans yes, but it is humans as you’ve always said with agents who are driving that customer success together. Think about our customers. Before our integration with you all, our agents had to spend time gathering basic guest information on who Marc Benioff was before he checked in tonight, and that was not easily at their fingertips or even worse asking Marc for his information that we should have had, and our agents now have encyclopedic knowledge.

Think about it of all of your guest history, all of your booking behavior, all of your loyalty status because we tied it all together, giving us an ability to answer any question imaginable that any guest like you might have before you check-in tonight, before your stay. In moments not minutes and we’re booking you into your preferred room-based on our knowledge, our guest salesforce knowledge of your past day history. We are successfully working now. I hope to upsell you a suite upgrade if we haven’t already an early check-in, sounds like you’re getting in late a late check-out tomorrow if you’d like one.

I don’t know if you’re bringing if you have pets but if you were, would those agents would be selling you a pet fee or an F&B am entity for your dogs about that.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

They’re going to jump-in.

Geoff Ballotti — Chief Executive Officer

But look, this is all being done autonomously which small-business owners and operators would not have had time to do before. We have been working so hard, it is generating so much money. We’re seeing faster average speeds of answer, zero whole times. I’ve heard you talk a lot about why no customer should wait, and that’s why we’re doing it. We’re receiving and we’re moving more importantly, millions and millions of dollars as I said in the front-office but we’re generating millions of dollars of increased ancillary revenues to these small-business owners. It’s not costing them anything.

And we’re also seeing, which is really, really important, a 200 basis-point increase in-direct bookings from AI voice agents and AI voice agent conversion versus having to get those bookings through expensive third-party online travel agencies, that is increasing guest satisfaction. Our guest satisfaction scores are up 400 basis-points, they’ve never been higher, and this customer experience that we’ve created is more efficient. Again, humans with agents driving customer success were agent first and we’re very proud of it.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well, I just want to thank you so much, Geoff.

Geoff Ballotti — Chief Executive Officer

Thank you and thanks to your team, because I’ll tell you it takes a great leader like you, but it also takes a great team and you’ve got both, and you’ve made something really incredible happen. Great job and congratulations.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

We’re proud to be with you. Our Chief Commercial Officer was on stage with you at Dreamforce [Speech Overlap]

Geoff Ballotti — Chief Executive Officer

He did a great job.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

We’ll be back this year I hope you come to Dreamforce this year-by Geoff. All right well you I want to now introduce you to incredible person who I’ve known for 20 years and it’s very inspiring entrepreneur, who’s really become a huge influencer in the world, who’s getting his hands dirty, of the great company called SaaStr, building agents, learning how they work, deploying them, really being on the bleeding edge, the cutting-edge of this technology, and thanks for being here Jason. I’m so thrilled to have you.

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Super exciting. Yeah, congrats on the quarter by the way.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Jason, I just want to ask you one question. What is it that’s making this happen? What is inspiring you to kind of transform yourself and transform SaaStr to this incredible opportunity?

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Well, look maybe two things. If you’re builders. We’ve been, I mean, you were, I think you were like on Radio Shack computers or something back-in the day, right? We’ve been building since we were kid.[Speech Overlap]

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Growing game.

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

So, we’ve been build — builders at our heart, right? And this is the most exciting time to build ever. Ever for us as executives, entrepreneurs. Honestly, if you’re not excited to be building an agentic AI, you should quit. You should go off and go to pasture, do your next things. So, we backed into agents because I got tired after our own big event of rebuilding the team and we went all-in and we said I want to try to rebuild the whole team of agents about almost 10 months ago. Agentforce was a key part of that.

And we wanted to push it early. Can you really do all of this, all these go-to-market motions with agents and the numbers are pretty good.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well, you’ve been a pioneer. It’s a funny thing because in our own independent world, here we are, we’re out here building Agentforce, Slackbot, you know that. We also acquired Momentum and we acquired Qualified and so forth. We’re so excited about these companies. And then all of a sudden, wow[Phonetic], you kind of we’re building our vision of the future totally independently.

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Yeah.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

And so, we felt very validated in a way. It was kind of crazy, but then we looked at you and said, Wow, this is a true visionary, and you really have always had a lot of clarity, not just in SaaS before that, you know that. And now here you are as agents as a service as well. You have your vision there now as well. So, I guess once a visionary, always a visionary. But give us your vision then.

Where are we going because you’ve heard about the SaaSpocalypse and you know that this isn’t our first SaaSpocalypse. We’ve had a few of them, but now where are we going over the next couple years?

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Well, I think and I think this is good for Salesforce, but I think we’re underestimating how powerful these agents are. I think, look for most people AI is confusing, the media is confusing, what the hell is going on? Let me simplify this. I was just looking at our numbers, on Agentforce this morning. So-far and again we’re a small organization. We went from 15 humans to 2.5 and 20 agents.

Okay, that’s a lot of change, but on Asian Force alone as a tiny organization, we’ve closed $2.7 million, that’s not the Army contract you got, but that’s a lot for us, $2.7 million with an agent and we have $3.5 million more in the pipeline. Those are agents and it works. And so, that is exciting. That is exciting that these agents can go out and sell for you.

And the first thing I did

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Kind of crazy and amazing, isn’t it?

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

It’s crazy — it just wasn’t — not only was this not really possible a year-ago and this is a year and the problem with all of us, we were using ChatGPT in the early days it was all hallucinations. It was hard to believe this stuff would work even 18 months ago, wasn’t it? It was hard to believe.

But everything got okay last summer, and then at the end-of-the year it got great and there’s reasons that Salesforce it got great but to be nerdy, even at Anthropic, your customer when they rolled-out these four.models up to four or five, for B2B stuff like we do, it wasn’t a little bit better. It was like jaw-droppingly better. The hallucinations would be worse than a human makes and the productivity size so it’s just we’ve never seen these gains and the idea that now our Salesforce instance can run autonomously versus doing manual data entry mean this was always a dream.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

I want to tell everyone exactly what I want to do here because number-one is, yes, we love by the way, Market SharkNinja was awesome, right?

And then we had Geoff Wyndham, and these are very big companies like good-sized companies and not the biggest companies in the world, but incredible companies. But you’re a small company. You’re in some ways a solo entrepreneur, right? You’re an entrepreneur, you’re and I think that it is going to go across the whole market, that is small businesses are benefiting, medium.

We sell — we call small-business zero to 200 employees, maybe that’s where you are, then we have 200 to 2,000 medium, then we have the 2,000 to 5,000 in general business, then we have the 5,000 the monsters, then we have the government, we have software companies. Every segment is impacted by this, don’t you think? Every company is impacted?

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

I think everyone is going to look at their business and say, what can I fully automate with an agent? Everyone’s you’re going to unlash a torrent of creativity, right? The key thing that I’ve learned for folks is just start with one use-case. For us, it was what you, the idea you came up with like last summer, reactivate the leads the sales team never talked to. That was our first use-case. Find something or with Wyndham.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

That’s a huge thing, right? Because like there’s 20 million, 30 million, we don’t even know, maybe 100 million people we didn’t call-back in last 26 years, but Miguel called back 50,000 people with agents last week that we would not have gotten to. Even though he’s got all these reps, he still doesn’t have the ability to call everybody back. It’s amazing.

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

We did 3,000 with Agentforce and for just looking a couple of examples, we closed a $250,000 customer this week, but the first one with Agentforce was Freshworks. You know Freshworks, they do support and a bunch of other stuff, but they’ve changed. Girish isn’t the CEO anymore. The marketing teams turned over — we don’t know anybody, the agent found the right person and closed the deal.

That’s sort of magical. That wouldn’t have really been possible without agents of AI.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Isn’t it exciting?

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Yeah, it’s just like.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

That’s exciting.

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

It’s exciting. And the fact that every company can start with something here. They can reactivate something or even with Wyndham responding after hours, and actually my old head of Customer Success is now head of SMB at PayPal, they use Agentforce and he just texted me this morning or DM this morning, they have a broken merchant flow where folks would sign-up to use PayPal and then they would abandon it, like an abandoned cart. They put Agentforce on it and the conversion rates are much higher, but they couldn’t get any people to do this, right?

So, all of us have some process where there’s no one to do it.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

So exciting because you have humans and agents working together, you’re working with your agents, it’s the apps the agents working together. But it’s kind of fun because I think that for the last 26 years, you and I, we’ve been in this kind of SaaS industry and it’s all been all about apps. And that’s now — and the apps aren’t gone away because PayPal is still using those apps, by the way, PayPal is a huge customer in sales, B2B and also service, call-center, contact center.

But now just as you articulated so beautifully, more productivity, more capability, the ability, the lost card idea, that’s what we’re finding this ability. So now we’re selling not just in the SaaS apps world, we’re also selling agents. And yeah, these two are going to be two markets and who knows, maybe one will be bigger than the other. Maybe they’ll both be the same size.

We don’t exactly know. I mean, we’re sell — we just gave guidance that we’re going to do $46.2 billion this year, on revenue. So I can’t tell you when the — and Agentforce is like about an $800 million business now. So, I can’t tell you exactly when Agentforce will be a $46 billion or $30 billion but it has the potential to go just like but

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

I’m still planning to help me what’s 46 times can help me you guys that

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

120 plus 18 is 38 138

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

I think Agentforce and I’m not being facetious I think it’ll be $140 billion business at the table because I think the value is about 3x the software this is why I think the SaaSpocalypse or SaaSquatch or whatever I think there’s some truth to this because agents are changing the world and if you’re not if you don’t have Agentforce, if you’re one of the leaders and you don’t and you’re not there, I think it’s fair to be concerned, right?

But the value, I wrote this post about how much more valuable Salesforce is us with our agents, it’s not a little more value-added. It’s like 10 times more valuable.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

So, you’re using Salesforce really six months ago?

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Not really, we our team had shrunk and the value was we were using it as a data some reps whatever never fire, they left yeah[Speech Overlap]

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

But now you have like a team of agents and humans and your company is bigger and more successful than ever. And we’re using Salesforce all day amazing this year, right?

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Yeah. Okay. Or even — and actually what’s interesting is not only are these agents using more Salesforce, I just figured this out today. The most dated part of our software stack is a company called Mercado. You’ll remember from the old days for marketing automation. Back-in the day, very innovative, right? Jaw-dropped in the day. We’re sort of a prisoner, we’re stuck on it. These agents.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

I got some things to show you there.

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Yeah, but the agents, our Salesforce agents have taken all of that data and put it into Salesforce. So now Salesforce is accumulating all the value from all these other stores and becoming the hub. So that’s why whatever the math is, I’m going to bet on the $150. I’m not going to — it might take eight years, but I think it’s three — I think the Agentic side is where 3 times to 4 times the software side.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

A-plus. Great job. Thank you. Really appreciate you joining the earnings call.

Jason Lemkin — Chief Executive Officer and Founder

It’s great. Thanks, everybody.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

All right. There we go. We just had three great customers. We gave some numbers and now I’m turning it over to you, Robin, take it over.

Robin Washington — President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer

Thanks, Marc. What an amazing trilogy of three great questions[Speech Overlap]

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Such a great quarter.

Robin Washington — President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer

Oh, absolutely. On a great year. We’re going to turn to the numbers and tell everybody about it. So, good afternoon. We closed an exceptionally strong fiscal year. We have rebuilt our platform to convert the raw intelligence of LLMs into real work that drives revenue as we just heard about, reduces costs, and scales reliably without limits. This is powering the transition to the Agentic enterprise for our customers and ourselves. So, to share a few data points, as expected, as Marc said, we had a great quarter, a great year. We finished the fiscal year ’26 with second-half net-new AOV growth ahead of second-half AOV growth. Agentforce and Data 360 ARR, inclusive of Informatica Cloud ARR reached $2.9 billion, that’s up over 200% year-over-year.

This includes Informatica Cloud ARR of $1.1 billion and Agentforce ARR of approximately $800 million, which is up 169% year-over-year. New bookings for Agentforce one addition and Agentforce for apps or as we Call-IT A for X, our most premium SKUs nearly tripled quarter-over-quarter. Our consumption flywheel is spinning faster than ever. In the quarter, more than 60% of Agentforce and Data 360 bookings came from existing customers expanding their commitments. Looking at our largest deals, every single one of our top-10 wins included Agentforce, data, sales, service, platform, and analytics.

Our newest addition to our portfolio, Informatica, landed in six of those top-10 wins, proving it is a critical component of us building the data foundation for the agentic enterprise. So, let’s dive a bit further into these incredible results. Subscription and support revenue grew slightly above 10% year-over-year in nominal and constant-currency. Total revenue was $41.5 billion, up 10% year-over-year in nominal and 9% in constant-currency, driven by Agentforce, Data 360, Slack, Agentforce sales and service performance.

Informatica’s Q4 results also outperformed our expectations. This strong performance was partially offset by continued weakness in marketing and commerce, weaker-than-expected tableau performance and the on-prem revenue timing in Tableau and MuleSoft we shared last quarter. Q4 revenue attrition ended the year at approximately 8%, in-line with recent trends. Our current remaining performance obligation or cRPO, ended Q4 at $35.1 billion, which was up approximately 16% year-over-year in nominal and 13% in constant-currency, driven by strong net-new AOV, especially in Agentforce, Data 360, Slack and sales. This does include a four-point contribution from Informatica. Our top priority remains accelerating growth. Based on our FY26 net-new AOV performance, we are more confident in our path to reaccelerate organic revenue in second-half FY27 as outlined at Investor Day.

Given our strong net-new AOV performance and the incorporation of Informatica, we are updating our FY30 framework as follows. We are now targeting FY30 revenue of $63 billion, which represents an 11% CAGR from FY26 to FY30. We remain on-track to Rule of 50 by FY30 and we are pleased that with our continued focus on operational excellence, we delivered 60 basis-points of expansion in FY26. As we think about FY27 and fueling our framework, we are making targeted investments, including advancing our Hyperforce third-party infrastructure for trust and security, ramping our AE capacity, and scaling FDEs to drive adoption.

These investments are partially funded by efficiency we’ve unlocked becoming the lean Agentic enterprise, as our own customer zero. Before we turn to guidance, a quick update on capital allocation. I’m proud to say that we have achieved all elements of our Investor Day commitments, including capital allocation. Also, our Board has approved a 5.8% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.44 per share. Additionally, and as you’ve heard, given the current stock price dislocation, the most prudent investment we can make is in Salesforce. We are updating our share repurchase authorization to $50 billion. So, let’s talk about FY27. We are initiating fiscal year ’27 revenue guidance of $45.8 billion to $46.2 billion.

Growth of approximately 10% to 11% in nominal and constant-currency. We expect subscription and support growth guidance of slightly under 12% year-over-year or approximately 11% year-over-year in constant-currency. This is fueled by continued momentum in Agentforce and Data 360, partially offset by weakness in marketing, commerce, and Tableau. Our non-GAAP operating margin guidance is 34.3%, an expansion of 20 basis-points.

As I mentioned, this is the year where we are making further investments to fuel long-term growth and ensure customer success with Agentforce. We expect GAAP operating margin of 20.9%, an expansion of 80 basis-points. Turning to Q1 guidance, we expect revenue of $11.03 billion to $11.08 billion, growth of approximately 12% to 13% in nominal and 10% to 11% in constant-currency. cRPO growth for Q1 is expected to be approximately 14% year-over-year in nominal and approximately 13% year-over-year in constant-currency.

Clearly, we are executing against our FY30 framework, accelerating growth and investing with discipline, including investing in Salesforce, via share repurchases. Before we wrap-up, to better reflect our Agentic enterprise strategy, we are reevaluating our revenue by cloud disclosures in FY27. So, stay-tuned for an update on this disclosure prior to our Q1 earnings release.

Finally, a big thank you to all of our employees for their dedication and hard work delivering a very successful FY26 and onward to an incredible FY27.

Mike, I’ll turn it over to you.

Mike Spencer — Executive Vice President of Investor Relations

Thanks, Robin. And with that, Leila, we’re going to go to the first question, please.

Question & Answers

Operator

[Operator Instructions] And your first question will come from Keith Weiss with Morgan Stanley.

Keith Weiss

Excellent. Thank you, guys for taking the question, and congratulations on a really nice end to FY26, particularly when it comes to the Agentforce numbers. The Agentforce numbers are definitely eye-popping, getting to a big scale and still growing at really, really high rates. But on the other side of that, cRPO perhaps was a little bit disappointing on an organic basis, you grew that at 9%, just in-line with your guidance.

And typically, we expect a little bit of a beat, 100 basis-points to 150 basis-points of a beat. And I think that’s stoking some concerns with investors, can Salesforce do both? Can we grow a big agent for this business and sustain the growth and momentum in the broader Salesforce portfolio. Can we bring along the entirety of the business. So, can you talk to that aspect, can Agentforce catalyze the broader Salesforce product portfolio? Can it bring along everything? And what gives you confidence in that acceleration in the back-half of the year?

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

All right. Well, I think that is absolutely a great question. And I think the reason why it’s such a great question is because Salesforce is just as you said, it’s a comprehensive business. We’re closing new business, new ideas. We have building new technology and we also carry with us that we are a subscription business. So, we’re carrying with us our legacy as well. And we’re renewing and moving that legacy business forward. That’s also one of the exciting parts of Salesforce, because that also gives us the predictability to understand what’s going to happen in the future fiscal years. So yes, we are innovating, we’re creating the future, we’re adding to the future.

We’re also renewing our customers. And I have to tell you, we’re just very proud actually of the numbers. I mean this business — this fiscal year is far better than I expected it at the beginning of the year than the fourth quarter, actually even in the third and fourth quarter, Miguel’s numbers were far exceeded my expectations. And to your point, Agentforce also and also Data 360 are exceeding our expectations. And yes, could we sell more, could we renew more? Can we do more? Can we do this? Can we do all these various things?

We absolutely can, but we are very grateful for what we’ve been able to achieve so-far. Robin, do you want to add to that?

Robin Washington — President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer

Yeah, I agree with that. I think we’re monetizing AI, Keith, through many different fashions. We’ve got multiple ways to monetize. We’re seeing great growth, as I mentioned in our premium SKUs. We’re seeing acceleration. I think just listening to the three customer interviews talks about the great value that they’re getting from core. It’s also important to point out, we didn’t talk about it a lot, but our seats, we’re still seeing them grow, year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter. So, what we see is now with Agentforce, with the system that you laid out, the system of agency, et-cetera, we’re just seeing incremental value to our software. And some of it’s going to be consumption-based, but we’re going to have a hybrid model. Seats will continue to be a key component of our growth going-forward.

And what we hope to see is just what you heard from the three customers today, incremental value coming as the result of our Agentic technology and capabilities.

Mike Spencer — Executive Vice President of Investor Relations

Great. Thanks, Keith. Leila, we’ll take the next question, please.

Operator

Your next question will come from Brent Thill with Jefferies.

Brent Thill

Good afternoon. Marc, the $50 billion buyback, I guess many are asking given the fall-off in big multiples, why not lean a little harder in acquiring technology and M&A versus buying stock back.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well, I really appreciate that. I think, Brent, the way to look at this is, I’ll just tell you how I look at it, which is that there’s many uses of cash. Number-one is dividend. We just increased the dividend by 5%. That’s one use of cash, very important.

And then we’re also look at buyback — traditional buybacks, okay. And so we’re doing that. We’ve done that very aggressively over the last few years, as you know. And acquisitions, we will continue to do acquisitions, but using our new formula that we put into place and we’ve done now quite a few acquisitions using that new formula and it’s been great. I wish I had used it actually through the entire history of Salesforce. I think we have a much better understanding of how to do acquisitions that are accretive to the business, but not dilutive to investors.

And then debt. So, I think there is a role here that we’re just very under-leveraged on our balance sheet. And I think, look, you’re a great banker, you’ve been a great banker for decades now. I think if you look at our balance sheet, now we’re going to do more than $16 billion in cash flow this year. We’re not using debt effectively. And I think at these prices in the market, the ability actually to kind of come to terms that we had some acquisitions in the past like Slack and Tableau that diluted our investors, I think now is the opportunity to take some of that stock back-out of the market.

And this is — these are great prices. I’m sure you would agree with that. And we want to use our capital correctly, and I think debt is a great way to do that. And I think our stock is a great price and I want Robin to buy as much of it as she possibly can.

Robin Washington — President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer

And I’d maybe add to that, Brent, it doesn’t preclude us from doing all the things you mentioned to grow, as Marc just said, with our free cash flow, with our cash balance, with our access to-market. We’re going to do — we brought 10 companies and we also returned over 99% of our free cash flow to our shareholders via buybacks and dividends. So, as we think about optimizing our balance sheet to Marc’s point, we’re positioning ourselves to grow organically, inorganic — inorganically and also return value to our shareholders.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

I think that when you look at such a huge cash flow number, although we just finished a $15 billion year coming into it, what will we be probably at least a $16.5 billion cash flow year, then we should be really just thinking about how do we use cash correctly, what is the right way to use cash? And yes, I think that there are many ways to use cash. But focusing on those four things, the dividend, the buyback, the acquisition, and debt, all four are critical. And if you have other ideas or you have other thoughts, we’re very open. I’d love to have the conversation, of course.

Mike Spencer — Executive Vice President of Investor Relations

Well, thank you, Brent. Laila, let’s go to the next question please.

Operator

Our next question will come from Kirk Materne with Evercore.

Kirk Materne

Yeah. Thanks very much for taking the question. Marc, you alluded to it in your comments. The presentation yesterday by Anthropic, I thought was an interesting example of sort of better together strategy with you and one of the model partners, but there is continued concern that those providers might become more competitive with you over-time. I was wondering if you just give us an idea of how you see the lines of demarcation in terms of partnering as well as potentially competing down the line, where you think you guys have a right to win, where they might have a right to win.

I think just a little bit more color on that would be helpful in terms of people’s view of where we might be going-in terms of the partnerships with those companies. Thanks.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Well, no, I’d be delighted to do that and maybe we can even put up our slide again of our kind of stack diagram because it makes it really clear what our vision of the world is, which is at one very critical part of this, these new models, called whether it’s OpenAI, whether it’s Anthropic, whether it’s Gemini, whether it’s Llama, whether it’s you pick DeepSeek, Mistral, there’s so many you can go off as well to look at that there is thousands of them, we make some of them ourselves. These models are new parts of our infrastructure that we really did not have in-place a few years ago.

We had some of our own models. You remember when we did Einstein and I would talk about on the earnings call that I was using Einstein to understand what was happening in my business, that was all based on Salesforce models that we had. So, we’ve always had models at the bottom of our infrastructure, but now we really are able to say, look at this, we’ve done 19 trillion tokens with these models. So, these models here, that’s who we have today, they will change over-time.

They’re a critical part of our infrastructure. I think the strategic question that you’re asking is this. Not only does it look like that in this slide that we just saw, but could those models themselves become platforms? So could OpenAI then also be a platform, could Anthropic be a platform, can Gemini be a platform can Deepseek be a platform, can Mistral be a platform, can Llama be its own platform so that in the way that we have Windows and Mac, or HTML or different things as platforms where applications all of a sudden appear will all of a sudden an application come in within one of those platforms and then use some of those services absolutely those could be new platforms there will also be other new platforms.

I have a platform right here as well, iOS, there are many platforms. And our job as a software company is to help our customers to create success and to take that and help them connect with their customers in a whole new way. So, we’ll deliver our products, our capabilities, our value proposition with our customer relationships. Of course, we have over 150,000, I think customers on our core, 1 million on Slack.

We have 15,000 sales reps who are out there. Their job is to work with customers to help architect their future success with these ideas. And our primary vision though today, because this in the current reality, this is about humans and agents working together and these customers like you saw today with Wyndham, with SharkNinja, even SaaStr, even Salesforce. Our job is to take what’s available today and make it successful.

And that isn’t where those platforms are today, as you know. And in your business, you work for an amazing company, Keith works for an amazing company. In these large banks where we are providing a lot of automation for the sales professionals, the service professionals, there is a lot to do to not only automate those call centers, those contact centers, the salesforces, the employees with Slack, but then to also then unleash the agents in a way that is compliant, that is secure, that is available, that is scalable, that is reliable, that is able to operate in-hand in-hand. So, if you go to help.salesforce.com today and you want to get help from Salesforce, you know that you’re going to be able to automatically connect to our contact center as well.

That’s incredible. We couldn’t do that just a couple of years ago as you know. So, that’s the current way we’re deploying. Well, could there be other ways that we deploy? It’s definitely possible the future could have many different forms, but we can see right now what we’re going to sell this year to our customers. We have a lot to sell and a lot to do.

Kirk Materne

Thank you.

Mike Spencer — Executive Vice President of Investor Relations

Great. Thanks, Kirk. Leila, we’ll take the next question, please.

Operator

Your next question will come from Gabriela Borges with Goldman Sachs.

Gabriela Borges

Hi, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the question. I wanted to ask the team about the $2.4 billion disclosure on AWUs. Tell us a little bit about how you translate the tokens and the Agentic work units to monetization. I know you’ve been working on AELAs. How do you think about the evolution of the time of the pricing model, Jason from SaaStr was just talking about the agentic value of the slack being 3 times to 4 times more than software value of the stack. So, tell us a little bit more about how the ELAs are going and Robin, for you specifically, how does it impact gross margin? Thank you.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

I think Patrick should really lead this AWU discussion because it’s kind of his brainchild and he was very unhappy that I keep bringing out this token number because I’m very impressed that we have 19 trillion tokens, but because I think that really shows that we’re really using these products to deploy these agents.

I mean everybody now knows Agentforce is hugely successful in all the new capabilities of Agentforce, the determinism, the voice, the programmability, Agentforce studio, Agentforce Builder and now Slackbot as well. But I think that then there’s another level, this idea of agentic work units. So why don’t you tell us what your vision?

Patrick Stokes — President and Chief Marketing Officer

Sure. So as we started looking at how our customers were using Agentforce and we started looking at how we’re consuming tokens from the model providers, right, all those models that sit at the bottom of our layer from OpenAI and from Anthropic, what they’re doing is they’re providing intelligence into our system and we’re able to measure that intelligence through the lens of a token and that’s how most of these model companies are charging. It’s the amount of tokens that your platform in our case is consuming. But when we started looking at that across our customers, we can start to see, okay, our top-10 customers are consuming this many tokens. We know-how many tokens Salesforce is consuming internally, but it begs the question, well, is it — are they doing anything?

Are they working? Are they providing any value or is it just input and output of intelligence, right? So, you can ask it a question, it can write you a poem, but that’s not really all that valuable in the enterprise world what’s valuable is creating a document for you or updating a record or helping us right here at this table, we all used Slackbot to prepare our notes here, our customer stories, we’re all preparing that with Slackbot. And so what we did is we said what-if we could count those individual work units, and then what-if we could look at those work units relative to the tokens and we said, oh, there’s a relationship between the two, we can start to see a ratio of tokens being consumed and work coming out, and that ratio starts to become really interesting because now we can look at our customers and say, hey, customer a, you have a really nice ratio, you’re getting a lot of work done on the platform for the amount of tokens that you’re consuming and hey, Mr Customer B, your relationship is actually not-so-good.

You’re consuming a ton of tokens and not getting a lot of work done, what can we do to help you. So, it becomes a really kind of interesting way. The tokens are kind of a leading indicator, but the work unit, we think is a much more valuable indicator in terms of where the value is actually coming from for our customers and for our own transformation into an agentic enterprise. But maybe on the monetization, I can toss to you.

Robin Washington — President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer

Yeah. I mean, this is something that we continue — look, I think you were asking specifically, Gabriella, about what does it do to gross margins. And as we think about margins in the short-run, we think we’re pretty neutral. Patrick talked about this differentiation between tokens and AWUs. While tokens, those prices, we’re working with our various partners. Those are going to start to go down over-time and commoditize. But also importantly, when you think about our products, engineering and product is working on ways to continue to fine-tune our products with things like Agentforce scripts, which is going to make it easier for us to produce the work, but reduce the overall costs. So those are things.

And then again, we’re optimizing. We’re using customer zero. Marc talks about the fact that we’re reallocating resources. We’re also looking at other things to overall continue to drive our efficiency down. So short-term, we don’t see gross margins getting worse, fairly neutral. Long-time, we’re doing everything in conjunction with our FY27 framework and our overall operating margin improvement to continue to get efficiencies in gross margin and operating margin.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Yeah. Miguel, do you want to take on the question about ALOS and kind of what we’re seeing in the market and how customers are consuming this technology?

Miguel Milano — President and Chief Revenue Officer

Yeah. I’ve been working very hard for the last quarter to have these minute because I really — I really want to tell you the story. Q3 was stellar. You heard the numbers at the time. We made a very clear commitment, Robin and I in partnership at the Investors Day. We shared three key messages to you all. Number-one is, we were seeing the very likely possibility of revenue reacceleration in 12 months to 18 months. That was four months ago.

Today, we are saying that the revenue reacceleration — organic revenue acceleration of subscription and support is going to happen in H2. And we are very — we are committed to that and we are certain now because we’ve seen the net-new AUV growth outpacing the AUV growth in H2 last year. We are sitting now in Q1. We’re looking at Q1 and Q2. And I can tell you with absolute confidence that the net-new AUV growth is going to significantly outpace the AUV growth. So now four quarters of net-new AUV pulling up the AUV growth is going to finally translate in H2 into a revenue reacceleration. That was number-one. Number two was the fiscal year ’30, a long-term durable growth plan.

We are recommitted to that to the point that we’ve increased the target from 60% to 63%, if you do the math, it’s not all because Informatica, it’s because we are more-and-more certain that we are going to hit the numbers. And then the third thing which is substantially important and it goes to the monetization and to the ILA question is, we have found the formula to monetize AI. There are three ways, distinct ways, the main ones that we are using to monetize AI. Number-one is our large installed-base of 100 millions of seats, we are upgrading to our premium SKUs that contain already embedded AI and unlimited access to agentic for employee use cases.

Number-one, we’ve seen, as Robin referred to earlier, that SKU business has tripled Agentforce first edition and Agentforce for sales and service has tripled quarter-on-quarter. Last quarter, it doubled. So, it’s pretty monster. The second way to monetize is this is very peculiar because now our apps are Agentforce sales, Agentforce service, all of them are agentic.

So now the ROI that companies generate by implementing our apps has increased. So now we have access to new seats that before companies couldn’t afford to roll-out Salesforce or any of our apps. And the third way is for customer-facing agentic use cases, agents, we sell fuel, the credits, flex credits and companies, if you look at the bookings of Agentforce in Q4, 50% were credits, flex credits, fuel, fuel and 50% were higher SKUs. If you look at the top 12 deals, which by the way, record, Robin and Marc, we’ve never done more than 10 deals above $10 million in any given quarter.

This was our best Q4 ever, our best quarter ever. We did 12 deals, about $10 million, one of them above $50 million, three of them above $20 million. When we look at those and if you look at the three ways to monetize, six out-of-the top-10 deals basically were upgrades of the existing SKUs. Seven out-of-the top-10 deals, we added seats and five out-of-the top-10 deals included credits for agentic use cases, customer-facing use cases.

Three of them included everything. But the beautiful thing is in every story that we heard today that was very incredible these three customer stories, I have a bunch of stories that I wanted to tell you about we are running out of time here, in every one of these stories we are monetizing AI through these three different angles and we’re seeing it in the bookings. We are seeing it in the pipeline. I’m very confident about Q1.

I mean, something happened in Q4 that was Monster. I mean Marc said a target to me and to my team. I need to see bookings starting with the number and we deliver above the number that was incredible. I’m looking at the pipeline, double-digit growth in pipeline. I’m looking at my capacity. I — we’ve hired over-time. We started last year, 12 months ago with 0% growth in ramped AEs. These are AEs that are ready to sell. It takes our As a year or so to sell to be prepared. We are starting this fiscal year with 15% to 17% more growth in ramped AEs. That’s dynamite. We have double-digit growth in pipeline.

I’m very confident about the net AUV growth significantly outpacing AUV growth. And ILS have been a big part of this. This is the number-one product that we sell now. We sold 120 plus ILS in Q4. I thought we’re going to do between 50 and 100. We did 120. In the top-10 deals, we sold eight in the top-10 deals. These are customers that will go all-in and commit long-term to our — to the future and there are outsized deals.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Very good thank you so much Miguel

Robin Washington — President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer

Thank you.

Mike Spencer — Executive Vice President of Investor Relations

Thanks, we’ll take the last question now please. Your last question will come from Raimo Lenschow with Barclays.

Raimo Lenschow

Hey thanks for squeezing me in here. I’m going to get a quick one. If your cross-sell or the token upsell is working so well, you said 60% of the booking came from that one. It’s kind of almost getting the message out to more customers quicker, you now have 29,000 customers. How do you think about that evolution from kind of getting new customers and getting those guys up and productive this year? How do you think about the road there and what are the roadblocks? Thank you.

Miguel Milano — President and Chief Revenue Officer

Yeah, Raimo, good to see you again. Listen we did 29,000 Agentforce transactions we have approximately 22,000 23,000 customers but you said it very well. Our role, the role of my team, the role of my executive, the role of all the AEs is to be in front of customers to explain these stories and the value that we can drive. I mean today, yesterday or today, I don’t know when there was a world tour in Australia, we had 12,000 today, right? Yes. 12,000 customers

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

It’s actually tomorrow, but it’s today.

Miguel Milano — President and Chief Revenue Officer

It’s yesterday.

Robin Washington — President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer

Australia time.

Miguel Milano — President and Chief Revenue Officer

I don’t know, whatever. 12,000 customers showed up. It’s happened. It’s already happened by the way. And I think we just need to the key message that we are conveying to our customers is we are, SaaS is more important than ever in the world of LLMs. This isn’t — I mean, we are so happy that this raw intelligence exist, but to convert raw intelligence into reliable, accurate, scalable enterprise work, you need a sovere infrastructure like the one that Marc described with our system of context, the system of work. This is our big differentiator. Nobody has 40% market-share in sales and service. I’m sorry, in the customer domain, we are the systems of work.

We have the system of agency, very sophisticated, some companies are building it, whatever, but we have the best because we have proven in 4,000 production customers, 23,000 total customers, nobody has that at the scale and the complexity because our agents are connected to the data connected, able to trigger actions and then we have the system engagement, which is like. I mean the demo of Anthropic was incredible. It started in slack then what did they do? They took it out to another UI, which is awful by the way, but it’s, I mean, it wasn’t really as nice as Slack, but they did all the work, incredible work.

Again, we are so lucky that these companies exist and then they copy-paste it. They did that, right? They copy-paste it and they put it back on Slack. Okay, today you can do that with Slackbot. You don’t have to get-out and in, we have a great partnership with Anthropic. But anyways, Raimo, we are very excited.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

So, Patrick, I think you should come in here and talk about this. Yeah.

Patrick Stokes — President and Chief Marketing Officer

I mean, everybody right now, everybody through the past few years has been so enamored with the model, of course, it’s this brand-new thing, this intelligence layer that we never had, but also the data. But what’s really happening around us is the apps are changing. The UI is changing as Miguel is alluding to, and that’s really what we’re seeing because these old apps of these point-and-click buttons, those were designed for human beings to interact with, but what happens when you have human beings and agents in the same place, right? Suddenly a lot of those interactions, those UI paradigms kind of get thrown away.

You don’t need all of this complex UI anymore. And that’s what makes Slack so powerful. And I think that’s what Anthropic knows. I think that’s what we saw in their demos yesterday, right? You kind of like process the work, but ultimately, it’s coming — that work is getting done because some person or some agent is asking for it and then you need to give it back to that person or that agent and where do you do that you do that in Slack and that’s what makes Slackbot so unbelievably powerful is you never have to leave and of course it’s powered by Claude we love our partners of Anthropic but it knows all of the context of your business, not just the context of your systems of records as we think about it, but all of the conversations happening inside of Slack and has access to all of that and the knowledge that it gains from that is truly unmatched.

It might be our most important piece of data that we have. And so when you put all that together into this brand-new user interface, that’s really where we see this big transformation in SaaS happening. It’s that the apps are going to — they’re going to change and they’re going to just turn into this environment where humans and agents are really working together.

Robin Washington — President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer

And I think to add to that, if you think about customer success, right, we’re really doubling down, as we said on FDEs. And I think they’re the folks that are on-the-ground with our selling teams, our solution-selling teams to ultimately make this vision a reality. And I think that’s the key component to converting it from to ALOs ultimately consuming. That’s what we want to continue to see happening is that consumption will continuing to fly.

What’s that?

Mike Spencer — Executive Vice President of Investor Relations

Well, great. Thank you Raimo, and we want to thank everyone for joining us today and look-forward to seeing you soon.

Marc Benioff — Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder

Bye everybody, thanks so much
