How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

how you’re thinking about gating specific capabilities, including AI, to cloud only over the next year
Show response

So excluding the Texas contract, transactions seem to be quite strong. Can you unpack what’s driving the improvement?
Show response
Miller quantified ex-Texas transaction growth and attributed it to volumes, new names and transaction-funded software.
Calendar 2026 Q1
where is the investment concentrated in? Is it the agentic AI versus core ERP, courts or some implementation tooling?
Show response
Brian said investment balanced across innovation, competitiveness improvements, and growing AI. Ongoing COGS-to-R&D geography shift plus reduced capitalization of completed projects. Moving existing resources to AI side rather than large hiring push.
Calendar 2025 Q4

Show response

How have Tyler's sales cycle evolved since Q1? And what specific improvements are you observing in the pipeline as macro begins to improve?
Show response
Lynn cited ERP RFPs up 25% since Q1, stabilizing macro with lower inflation and rate cut expectations. Delayed demand is converting to decisions.
Calendar 2025 Q1

Show response
Lynn confirmed flip expectations unchanged, expecting 20-30 per quarter on average but not straight-line. Brian noted flips up 18% in number year over year.
Calendar 2024 Q4
Could you perhaps elaborate on the announcements made by Fiserv at their recent earnings call around the expansion of their payments partnership with Tyler?
Show response
Lynn explained Tyler prioritizes differentiated payments integrated with back-office systems over commoditized processing, and views Fiserv as technology partner.
How much of that is coming from AWS, which I'm assuming is probably your main partner that you're collaborating with?
Show response
Lynn confirmed AWS partnership covers AI and cloud roadmaps but did not quantify the specific AI investment breakdown between internal and partner-driven.

Calendar 2026 Q2

Calendar 2026 Q1
Can you maybe provide a bit more color what those new services will solve for your customers
Show response
Jim framed new services around high assurance infrastructure and security. Mentioned AI revealing vulnerabilities and increasing importance of trusted DNS. Blog series launching next month.
how registrar promotional intensity in Q1, for example, for GoDaddy, your biggest customer or for other registrars, how it compared with 4Q
Show response
Jim described the diverse channel requiring tailored programs. Noted restrictions on marketing treatment of registrars and attributed engagement to offering flexibility and choice.
Calendar 2025 Q4
if you could comment on your intention to raise prices for .com. Have you made the decision to move to raise prices this year?

Would it be possible to give a bit more granularity in your assumptions? How much domain growth I assume for .com
Show response
John declined to break out .com vs .net guidance, noting .net has seen some decrease while programs target specific use cases for better retention.
it just seems like the midpoint of the guidance being a little bit conservative considering the trend that we're seeing
Show response
John noted back-half-loaded 2025 new registrations will impact first-time renewal rates in 2026. Jim emphasized channel diversity and M&A activity limit precision.

Calendar 2026 Q3
Where would you say agents are moving into production fastest today, maybe comparing safety versus maintenance
Show response
Sanjit said safety, maintenance and dispatch agents are the common use cases, often multiple per organization, but still early. Question read by Isabella Camaj for Alexei Gogolev. Partial.
Calendar 2026 Q2
just unpacking the main drivers of net new ARR this quarter, thinking about new logos versus expansion

Calendar 2025 Q1
is there any other color or context as to why construction companies are choosing Samsara now

Calendar 2024 Q4

Show response
Dominic said renewal rates are strong and embedded in the 115% and 120% net retention metrics, with expansions common at renewal.
VEEVVeeva Systems Inc.6 questions · 4 reporting periods · 0 of 6 challenging

Calendar 2026 Q1
How do your customers rank those key elements when they consider Veeva's right to win against those LLM infrastructure peers
Show response
Peter said customers view it holistically, not as ranked factors. Trust is #1, earned over 15 years of delivering on commitments. Won't get a sale by committing to something they can't do. Customers know Veeva understands their business and is technically expert.
Do you still think you may get the commitment from the remaining 4 customers by mid of calendar '26
Show response
Paul said roughly 5 decisions remain, expecting 14 of 20 total (maybe 13, maybe 15). Some decisions delayed by company-specific priorities like product launches. Brian attributed 5% customer count growth to strong execution in Veeva Basics for small emerging biotechs across commercial and R&D.
Calendar 2025 Q4
could you double click on the demand environment and financial health of the pharma end market

Peter said no changes in end market demand. Science rapidly evolving with many uncured diseases. Pretty optimistic about the industry overall and pretty steady right now.
Do you have any verbal indications from those clients already
Show response
Peter declined to share verbal indications. Acknowledged having some views but would not get more fine-grained than the disclosed numbers.

Calendar 2026 Q2
When customers consider their contracts, what drives the decision between multi-year and annual contracts
Show response
Janesh said reduced multi-year discounting on the back of strong renewals, plus cohort/timing mix, drives the contract decision. Direct.
Calendar 2026 Q1
does this mean we should see a step up in free cash flow margin and free cash flow conversion in fiscal '28
Show response
Janesh cautioned that US federal cash tax payments normalize in FY28, partially offsetting the end of restructuring cash outflows. Didn't commit to a step-up in FCF margin.
Are the design centers increasing seats or are there new products being sold, new design teams being built
Show response
Andrew said data center owners are very sophisticated, buying deeper across the full design-to-make stack and pushing adoption into the supply chain. Demand expected to continue for years, and when it shifts, freed capacity flows to stalled infrastructure projects.
