Freshworks sází na AI a jednoduchost v enterprise
FRSH Freshworks
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
CRM Stocks Are Hot in 2024 — Should You Hold for 2025 Gains?Freshworks NASDAQ: FRSH CFO Tyler Sloat said the company is positioning its employee experience, or EX, portfolio around enterprise-grade technology designed to avoid the complexity typically associated with larger software platforms.

Speaking during a company webinar, Sloat said Freshworks faces competition in virtually every deal and that its primary differentiator is delivering products that are easy to use, deploy and manage while still providing enterprise capabilities. He said the company’s roots serving small and midsize businesses helped establish that emphasis on usability.

Freshworks Stock Soars 50% – Is This the Perfect Entry Point?“Our right to win really comes with… being able to deliver an enterprise-grade product without that enterprise-grade complexity,” Sloat said, adding that the approach can also help customers reduce costs relative to competitors.

EX portfolio expands beyond IT ticketing Sloat said Freshworks has broadened its EX offering from core IT service management, or ITSM, ticketing into several adjacent product areas. Those include enterprise service management, or ESM, IT asset management, or ITAM, and IT operations management, or ITOM.

Top 2 CRM Stocks Positioned to Surge Higher With AI in 2025The company’s ESM capabilities are intended to support business functions outside IT, with human resources representing the largest current use case, according to Sloat. He said Freshworks rearchitected its database layer to create separate workspaces with security and compliance controls, allowing functions such as HR to operate separately from IT teams.

Freshworks also expanded its ITAM capabilities through its acquisition of Device42. Sloat said the company initially partnered with and resold Device42’s product before acquiring the business. Freshworks has since rewritten the configuration management database, or CMDB, in its Freshservice product to incorporate Device42 capabilities in a cloud framework.

ITOM is the next major area of focus, Sloat said, following Freshworks’ acquisition of FireHydrant. He described ITOM as a category often used by technology operations teams within product or chief technology officer organizations to respond to incidents. He said FireHydrant was one of Freshworks’ top three deals in the second quarter, involving a large organization that selected FireHydrant without also being a Freshservice customer.

While Freshworks plans to consider additional adjacent markets, Sloat said it intends to prioritize integrating new offerings into a seamless and manageable platform rather than adding disconnected products.

AI viewed as table stakes and internal efficiency driver Sloat said artificial intelligence capabilities have become essential in competitive software evaluations. He pointed to growing attach rates for Freddy Copilot on “significant” deals, which Freshworks defines as transactions above $30,000.

He said Freshworks sees its system of record and ITIL-compliant workflows as a durable competitive advantage, even as AI may make competing products easier to configure or administer. The company is building AI features including AI Agent Studio for EX, Copilot capabilities and AI Insights on top of those workflows.

Internally, Sloat said the engineering organization has been among the largest users of AI tools, using them to improve coding speed and accuracy. He said Freshworks’ headcount is down more than 20% from its peak a couple of years ago, while annual recurring revenue has increased by roughly 30%.

The company has also adopted AI-enabled software it already licenses, selected AI-first vendors for certain new tools, and made tools including Gemini, Claude and OpenAI available to employees, according to Sloat. He said Freshworks is requiring teams to demonstrate returns from those investments rather than treating AI tools as experimental products.

AI pricing and revenue recognition Sloat said Freshworks is monitoring AI-related token costs internally and has teams dedicated to managing usage and evaluating returns. For customers, the company offers Freddy Copilot as an add-on and sells AI Agent Studio through session packs priced at $0.49 per resolution.

He said customer AI use has increased significantly this year and that the company’s pricing structure is intended to support both customer value and Freshworks’ margins. Sloat said Freshworks continues to report gross margins in the mid-80% range.

The CFO said session-pack revenue is recognized ratably rather than immediately upon consumption. For example, if a customer purchases an annual session pack, revenue is recognized over the applicable subscription period, he said.

Sloat also said AI-related revenue assumptions are included in Freshworks’ previously disclosed long-term targets of $1.4 billion in annual recurring revenue and $1.3 billion in revenue. However, he said the company does not plan to provide a separate AI revenue figure every quarter as AI features become embedded across its products.

Capital allocation and October event Freshworks had $664 million in net cash and effectively no debt, according to Sloat. He said the company does not view itself as overcapitalized and expects to continue deploying capital through stock repurchases, net settlement of restricted stock units and selective acquisitions.

Sloat said Freshworks expects to generate $265 million of free cash flow this year and has discussed potentially committing a portion of annual free cash flow to buybacks in the future. He said the company aims to grow free cash flow per share by 20% annually through a combination of revenue growth, profitability and share-count reduction.

The company’s next virtual Refresh event is scheduled for October and will highlight new product features, with a substantial focus on AI capabilities, Sloat said.

Freshservice získal status FedRAMP In-Process
FRSH Freshworks
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
August 06, 2026 08:15 ET  | Source: Freshworks Inc

SAN MATEO, Calif., Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freshworks Inc. (NASDAQ: FRSH) today announced that Freshservice, its AI-powered unified service operations platform, has achieved FedRAMP® ‘In-Process’ status for Class C (Moderate) certification, signaling significant progress toward full authorization for U.S. federal government agencies. This designation marks a key milestone in Freshworks’ plan to deliver modern service management software to federal agencies, and Freshservice is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. Freshworks has engaged Coalfire, a leading provider of FedRAMP compliance assessments, to guide the authorization process.

Federal agencies face persistent pressure to modernize operations while managing growing service demand, stretched IT teams, and aging systems that were not built for today's workforce expectations or the pace of AI adoption. At the same time, agencies face increasing pressure to improve operational efficiency and deliver better employee and citizen experiences with limited budgets.

Freshservice plans to address these challenges directly, giving agencies an AI-powered unified service operations platform that automates repetitive workflows, unifies cross-functional service delivery across IT and other business functions, and deploys in weeks rather than years.

"Government agencies need access to the same modern, AI-powered service management that is transforming how leading organizations operate,” said Murali Swaminathan, Chief Technology Officer at Freshworks. “Pursuing FedRAMP authorization is a critical step toward delivering that capability at federal scale, and we believe today's In Process designation reflects real progress in that direction.”

FedRAMP authorization builds on Freshworks’ existing partnerships with government entities, and will provide the broader federal community with a formally authorized path to adopt Freshservice at greater scale and with full confidence in its security posture, once authorization occurs.

A Modern Platform Built for Government Scale

To meet the security and compliance requirements of federal environments, Freshservice's FedRAMP environment will be built on AWS GovCloud (US), reflecting Freshworks' deep, multi-year partnership with AWS and its existing investment in secure cloud architecture.

For government organizations facing workforce constraints, growing demand for digital services, and pressure to do more with less, Freshservice offers a path to meaningful modernization that does not require years of implementation or large consulting teams. This move underscores Freshworks’ long-term commitment to the public sector.

“Congratulations to the Freshworks team on achieving FedRAMP In Process designation for Freshservice,” said Karen Laughton, Executive Vice President, Coalfire. “Reaching this milestone requires exceptional focus, coordination, and commitment across the organization. We’re proud to support Freshworks on its FedRAMP journey, and this achievement demonstrates the strength of our partnership and Freshworks’ commitment to meeting the rigorous security expectations of the federal government.”

Availability

Upon achieving full FedRAMP Class C (Moderate) certification, Freshservice will be available to federal agencies, as well as state, local, and education organizations that require formal cloud security authorization for their technology procurement.

($ in millions, except per share data)Third Quarter 2026Full Year 2026Revenue(1)        $244.5 - $245.5$963.5 - $966.5Year-over-year growth        ~14%~15%Year-over-year growth (constant currency)14% - 15%14% - 15%   Non-GAAP income from operations(1)        $59.0 - $61.0$222.0 - $228.0   Non-GAAP net income per share(2)        $0.18

These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” safe harbor section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

We have not reconciled our third quarter and full year 2026 estimates for non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP due to the uncertainty and potential variability of expenses that may be incurred in the future. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort and we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. We have provided a reconciliation of other GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables for our second quarter 2026 and 2025 non-GAAP results included in this press release.

Investors are invited to listen to a live audio webcast of the conference call by visiting the investor relations website at ir.freshworks.com. A replay of the audio webcast will be available shortly after the call on the Freshworks Investor Relations website and will be available for twelve months thereafter.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain non-GAAP financial measures, including revenue adjusted for constant currency, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP net income, adjusted free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow margin. This press release and the accompanying tables also contain certain other metrics, including annual recurring revenue, net dollar retention rates, revenue growth rates, and related presentation thereof adjusted for constant currency.

We adjust revenue and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing business performance excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current period results for currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period (for Q2 2025, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 EUR to 1.05 USD and 1 GBP to 1.26 USD), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q2 2026, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 EUR to 1.16 USD and 1 GBP to 1.34 USD).

We use these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as they generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Investors, however, are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.

We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this expense provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is not comparable across companies given the variety of valuation methodologies and assumptions.Employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions. We exclude the amount of employer payroll taxes on equity awards from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because they are dependent on our stock price at the time of vesting or exercise and other factors that are beyond our control and do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operation of our business.Amortization of acquired intangibles. We exclude amortization of acquired intangibles, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures. Our expenses for amortization of acquired intangibles are inconsistent in amount and frequency because they are significantly affected by the timing, size of acquisitions, and the allocation of purchase price. We exclude these amortization expenses because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operation of our business.Restructuring charges. We exclude restructuring charges, which primarily consists of employee severance and other employee termination benefits associated with the restructuring program initiated in November 2024 and May 2026, from our non-GAAP financial measures, because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.Acquisition expenses. We exclude acquisition expenses, which primarily consist of legal fees and due diligence costs, from our non-GAAP financial measures because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.Income tax effect and adjustments. Starting January 1, 2026, we utilize a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate to compute our non-GAAP income tax provision in order to provide better consistency across interim reporting periods. Our non-GAAP tax rate reflects our estimated long-term effective tax rate based on our anticipated geographic earnings mix and statutory tax regimes. For fiscal year 2026, we determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 24%. The difference between our GAAP income tax provision and our non-GAAP income tax provision is presented as non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments. Prior to 2026, we excluded the income tax effect of the above adjustments, income tax effect associated with acquisitions and tax charges or benefits that are a result of a change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and its related impacts, from our non-GAAP financial measures. We excluded these costs because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.
We define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software, plus acquisition costs and restructuring charges. We believe that adjusted free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity as it measures our ability to generate cash from our core operations after purchases of property and equipment. Adjusted free cash flow is a measure to determine, among other things, cash available for strategic initiatives, including further investments in our business and potential acquisitions of businesses. We define adjusted free cash flow margin as adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. We believe that adjusted free cash flow margin is a useful indicator of how efficiently we convert revenue into adjusted free cash flow.

Operating Metrics

Number of Customers Contributing More Than $5,000, $50,000 and $100,000 in ARR. We define ARR as the sum total of subscription, software license, and maintenance revenue we would contractually expect to recognize over the next 12 months from all customers at a point in time, assuming no increases, reductions or cancellations in their subscriptions, and assuming that revenues are recognized ratably over the term of subscription and maintenance contracts and upon delivery for software licenses. We define our total customers contributing more than $5,000, $50,000 and $100,000 in ARR as of a particular date as the number of business entities or individuals, represented by a unique domain or a unique email address, with one or more paid subscriptions to one or more of our products that contributed ARR above the applicable threshold.

Net Dollar Retention Rate. To calculate net dollar retention rate as of a given date, we first determine Entering ARR, which is ARR from the population of our customers as of 12 months prior to the end of the reporting period. We then calculate the Ending ARR from the same set of customers as of the end of the reporting period. We then divide the Ending ARR by the Entering ARR to arrive at our net dollar retention rate. Ending ARR includes upsells, cross-sells, renewals and expansion as a result of acquisitions during the measurement period and is net of any contraction or attrition over this period.

We also adjust the above operating metrics, growth rates of customers contributing more than $5,000, $50,000 and $100,000 in ARR and related presentation thereof for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing our business performance excluding the effects of foreign currency rates fluctuations. To present this information, the Ending ARR of the current period in currencies other than USD is converted into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the comparison period (for Q2 2025, the period end exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 EUR to 1.17 USD and 1 GBP to 1.37 USD), rather than the actual exchange rates in effect at the end of the current period (for Q2 2026, the period end exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 EUR to 1.14 USD and 1 GBP to 1.32 USD).

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to, among other things, our GAAP and non-GAAP estimates for the third quarter and full year 2026, our financial outlook, our ability to sustain profitability, and our expectations regarding impact of new product capabilities and our AI-powered software. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and industry, including our financial outlook and macroeconomic uncertainties, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by the company, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as, “future,” “believe,” “expectation,” “may,” “will,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “could,” “would,” or similar expressions or the negative of those terms or expressions. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control, which could cause actual results to vary materially from those expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially include our ability to achieve our long-term plans and key initiatives; our ability to sustain or manage any future growth and profitability effectively; our ability to attract and retain customers or expand sales to existing customers; delays in product development or deployments or the success of such products; the impact to the economy, our customers and our business due to uncertain global economic conditions, including market volatility, foreign exchange rates, and impact of inflation, as well as the other potential factors described under “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic and other documents of Freshworks Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time (available at www.sec.gov).

We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof and are based on information available to us at the time the statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events.

Freshworks čeká výnosy 233,5 milionu USD a EPS 13 centů
FRSH Freshworks

Original source text
Key Takeaways Freshworks is expected to post Q2 revenues of $233.5 million, up 14.1%, with EPS seen at 13 cents.EX ARR grew 27% in Q1, with mid-20% growth expected and more than 60% of total ARR by 2026-end.AI traction and cost cuts support bode well but CX could prove a growth drag. Freshworks Inc. (FRSH - Free Report) is set to report its second-quarter 2026 results on Aug. 4, after market close.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $233.5 million, up 14.1% from the prior-year reported number. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at 13 cents per share, down 27.8% year over year. The estimate has remained unchanged in the past 60 days.

For the June quarter, management expects revenues in the range of $232 million to $235 million, implying year-over-year growth of 13% to 15%. Non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) are expected to be 13 cents.

FRSH’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and matched once, delivering an average surprise of 25.1%.

In the past year, shares of the company have lost 11.2% compared with the Zacks Internet Software industry’s decline of 20.4%.

What Does Our Model Unveil for FRSH?Our proven model does not predict an earnings beat for Freshworks this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy), or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. This is not the case here.

Freshworks has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Factors at Play Ahead of FRSH’s Q2 ResultsFreshworks entered second-quarter 2026 against a backdrop of increasing momentum in its Employee Experience (EX) segment and cost discipline. In the first quarter, EX ARR grew 27% year over year, supported by strong new customer wins and existing business expansion. The company is benefiting from increasing adoption among mid-market and enterprise customers.

Management expects this momentum to sustain, with EX ARR anticipated to grow in the mid-20% range and contribute more than 60% of total ARR by 2026-end.

At the Refresh event, held on May 14, management further stressed continued investment in capabilities and platform expansion to capture a larger opportunity of the EX market.

The company is embedding AI across the portfolio. Freshworks’ AI capabilities, particularly through its Freddy AI platform, are emerging as an important differentiator. Management highlighted Freddy AI Copilot as one of its fastest-growing products, with strong customer growth, business attach rates and accelerating traction among AI clients on the first quarter earnings call. This is likely to have cushioned performance in the quarter to be reported.

Freshworks remains focused on driving profitability alongside growth. The company is executing on cost-cutting initiatives, including workforce trimming and accelerating use of AI and automation internally. Non-GAAP operating income is projected to be between $41 million and $43 million for the second quarter.

While EX remains robust, the Customer Experience (CX) segment is projected to grow at a more modest pace. In the last reported quarter, CX ARR increased 6% year over year, and management expects low single-digit growth for 2026.

The company is focused on improving efficiency and profitability in this segment through platform consolidation (Freshdesk Omni), better customer alignment and disciplined go-to-market execution.

Stocks to ConsiderHere are a few stocks that you may want to consider, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this season.

Arista Networks (ANET - Free Report) currently has an Earnings ESP of +3.08% and a Zacks Rank #2. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Caterpillar (CAT - Free Report) presently has an Earnings ESP of +4.96% and a Zacks Rank #3. CAT is scheduled to report quarterly numbers on Aug. 4. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Caterpillar’s to-be-reported quarter’s earnings and revenues is pegged at $6.25 per share and $19.31 billion, respectively.

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freshworks Inc. (NASDAQ: FRSH) announced today that it has been named by Gartner as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for IT Service Management Platforms. The evaluation was based on specific criteria analyzing the company’s overall Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. Freshworks attributes this recognition to its rapid customer growth and the depth and scale of its unified service operations platform.

According to Gartner, “The ITSM platforms market reached nearly $9 billion in 2025, growing 13.74% year over year and remains the largest segment of the IT operations value management market.” The report later notes, “Asset visibility has evolved toward a unified data fabric that connects ITSM, asset and operational data, becoming a prerequisite for effective automation and AI-driven decision making.”

Historically, IT and operations have run on a single linear trigger: something happens, and a human responds. A laptop is requested, so a ticket gets created for manual provisioning. An alert fires, so an onsite engineer investigates. Many leaders have been promised zero touch autonomous service, yet the core blockers to modernization are not a lack of ambition; they’re disconnected data, missing context, and AI that acts as more of a consulting project instead of an accelerator.

“Service and operations leaders don't just want a faster ticketing system, they want an AI-powered platform that unifies service, operations, assets and knowledge together on a shared data layer," said Dennis Woodside, Chief Executive Officer & President of Freshworks. "We believe our positioning as a Leader by Gartner highlights a clear shift in the market. We’re focused on giving agile enterprises the depth and scale they need, alongside domain-specific AI so they can move at the speed of their business while staying firmly in control.”

Companies like Amerisure, McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team and New Balance already trust Freshservice to run that way. Our customer base experiences a CSAT of 97.8% and an average first contact resolution of 75%.

Freshworks drives service transformation across three core areas:

Unified ServiceOps Platform: Brings together IT Service (ITSM), Operations (ITOM), Asset (ITAM), and Enterprise Service Management (ESM) on a single platform with a common data and context model. Our one service delivery model serves IT, HR, Finance, and other business teams - not separate tools stitched together - meaning a single common layer of insights, analytics and integrations.Trusted, Domain-Specific AI: Deploys intelligent agents across critical workflows - including IT and HR requests, incident triage, and multichannel self-service - to automate routine resolutions. Freshworks has built Freddy AI for the problems tens of thousands of customers have today, with a foundational understanding of over a decade of experience, workflow, and service domain solutioning to make Freddy AI more accurate, reliable and effective.Rapid Impact: Built for short implementation cycles that deliver immediate value without consultant overhead and no-code setup. On average, Freshservice customers go live in under 90 days, delivering a 168% ROI and a six-month payback period (read The 168% ROI behind switching to Freshservice).
"One of the benefits is that we started with IT, and now we bring in a bunch of other workspaces, such as facilities, loss prevention, HR, and all the other business departments," said Markus Gaulke, Platform Manager for New Balance.

LONDON, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freshworks (NASDAQ: FRSH) today announced that Vanquis, a leading UK specialist bank, has selected Freshservice as its AI-powered service operations platform to support the next phase of its digital transformation.

“As part of our Gateway transformation, we are simplifying the technology and processes that support colleagues across the bank,” said Jem Walters, CTO at Vanquis. “Freshservice gives us a more intuitive and flexible platform to manage service delivery, automate critical workflows and improve the colleague experience as we continue building a more agile, digital-first organization.”

Freshservice will enable Vanquis to manage service operations through a single platform, supporting faster incident resolution, more efficient request fulfillment and improved employee self-service. Built-in AI capabilities will help automate repetitive tasks, accelerate issue triage and provide insights to improve service performance.

“Financial institutions are under increasing pressure to modernize service delivery while maintaining resilience, governance, and operational efficiency,” said Musidora Jorgensen, UKI Country Lead for Freshworks. “Vanquis’ selection of Freshservice demonstrates how organizations can advance service transformation through a unified, AI-powered platform that enables faster service delivery, greater efficiency and measurable business outcomes.”
