What changed
Compared with the prior quarter, enterprise growth strengthened, RPO growth became a more prominent signal, AI capabilities broadened across the platform, and management paired a full-year guidance raise with lower capex guidance.
Guidance delta
Management raised full-year revenue and EPS guidance and lowered capex guidance, supporting a higher free-cash-flow outlook.
Key takeaways
- Enterprise revenue grew 7.8% year over year, the strongest rate in three years.
- AI features are embedded across Workplace, Phone, and Contact Center, with ZoomMate and Workvivo HQ extending the portfolio.
- RPO increased 14% year over year to $4.5 billion, reflecting larger, longer-term multi-product contracts.
- Management cited a record number of seven-figure ARR deals, many with AI components.
- White-label churn, AI compute costs, competition, and enterprise-spending uncertainty remain risks.
Management priorities
- Expand ZoomMate and AI productivity tools across Workplace.
- Deepen Workvivo HQ and employee-experience integration.
- Integrate Common Room with Zoom Revenue Accelerator.
- Develop consumption-based and outcome-based AI pricing.
- Continue cross-platform integration with Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
