Veeva opened fiscal 2027 with total revenue of $883 million and non-GAAP operating income of $395 million, delivering results ahead of guidance and prompting a modest full-year raise. Growth was broad-based: Vault CRM migrations crossed 150 live customers and 40 completed migrations at an over-80% win rate, Crossix extended its strength in a healthy digital advertising market, and the late-quarter Ostro acquisition added a compliant HCP brand-engagement platform expected to contribute about $10 million this year. The dominant strategic story was AI, with the new Falcon platform positioned to deliver agentic labor that automates high-volume outsourced work like clinical document intake and safety case processing. Management described the life sciences end market as unchanged and healthy, reiterating its path toward $6 billion of revenue in 2030.
