Braze, Inc. Class A Common Stock Citi’s 2026 Global TMT Conference

Yeah, absolutely. So yeah, I mean, overall, great quarter. As we mentioned, bookings was strong within the quarter, and it was also one of the most consistent global results that we have seen probably in the last five years, with all of our major regions contributing at a high level. Similarly, trends around our competitive win rates and sales force productivity all continued into the quarter, and so great to see that. The organic CRPO did take two percentage point downstep to 23% in the quarter. Part of that also contributed to by just seasonality of Q4 and Q1 of this year were really big.

Yeah renewals quarters, which is great to get through more of the renewals for the year a little bit earlier on.

Some seasonality contributing there. Overall, we were really happy with the continued bookings momentum from Q4 into Q1 into Q2, and looking at the pipeline and the setup for the second half. So, happy to flow through the beat and put a raise into the revenue forecast as well for the full year. We are looking forward to Forge here in a couple of weeks, which historically has always been a big accelerator pipeline for us. I think that our competitive positioning also continues to be in a really strong space, especially vis-à-vis the legacy marketing clouds.

The continuation of share gain within that part of the, primarily in the enterprise space, is something that certainly my sales leaders are looking forward to here through the end of the year and into the next few quarters. Our AI roadmap is really resonating out there in the market.

Yeah. When you look at the pace at which we have been able to bring products to market, the acceleration of the roadmap this year, the fact that Agent Console and Operator got put into people's hands months ahead of schedule and now we have done the same with a lot of our work around our remote MCP server, our Headless Operator, and other work around things like Decisioning Studio Go, all of which you are going to hear a lot more about at Forge.

All of those things have accelerated, and one of the really exciting things about a lot of the Forge updates this year is just how much of it is already in beta or already moving into general availability. This is definitely not a year where there is a bunch of slideware and future promises.

The build is all happening in real time, and that means that we are putting capabilities in customers' hands faster. It also means it is driving contributions to our growth more quickly as well. It is enhancing our competitiveness, too, because frankly, in the competitive landscape, I think that we are sprinting and everyone else is still standing still.

Yeah. First of all, I will just take a step back. The motivation for the pricing and packaging change that is now playing out in the numbers, which I will explain in a bit more detail. But the motivation actually was to do a better job of aligning the Professional Services delivery with exactly where customers had a distinct willingness to pay for the different types of advisory services that we provide. You actually, if you go look at our post-sales headcount, you will see that our post-sales headcount is not swelling at this rate that the Professional Services revenue, obviously, it appears to be growing. That is because while there is this kind of accounting shift in terms of how this revenue is labeled, it is not like there has been a shift in business strategy towards services. In fact, actually, the relative proportion of post-sales headcount is shrinking.
