Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to Intapp’s Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Webcast. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speakers' presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, David Trone, Senior Vice President, Investor Relations. David, please go ahead.

Thank you. Welcome to Intapp's fiscal first quarter 2025 financial results. On the call with me today are John Hall, Chairman and CEO of Intapp; and David Morton, Chief Financial Officer. During the course of this conference call, we may make forward-looking statements regarding trends, strategies and the anticipated performance of our business, including guidance provided for our fiscal second quarter and full year of 2025. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current views and expectations, entail certain assumptions made as of today's date and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in our SEC filings and other publicly available documents that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Intapp disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law. Further on today's call, we will also discuss certain non-GAAP metrics that we believe aid in the understanding of our financial results, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP diluted net income per share and free cash flow. As a reminder, all of our financial figures we will discuss today are non-GAAP, except for revenue and revenue growth and total remaining performance obligations. Our financial results, along with reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, can be found in today's earnings release and its supplemental financial tables, which is available on our website and as an exhibit to the Form 8-K furnished with the SEC prior to this call or a supplemental financial presentation, which is available on our website. With that, I'll hand the conversation over to John.

Thank you, David. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us today as we share the results of our fiscal first quarter. Commencing our fourth fiscal year as a public company, I'm pleased to share that once again we've achieved strong quarterly results supported by cloud ARR growth, new products, new partnerships, new logos and expanded client accounts around the world. We also added new applied AI capabilities to our platform and furthered our strategic partnership with Microsoft. I'll share details on these select growth drivers throughout this call. In Q1, our cloud ARR grew to $309 million, up 27% year-over-year. Cloud now represents 74% of our total ARR of $417 million. In the quarter, we earned SaaS revenue of $77 million, up 30% year-over-year, and total revenue of $119 million, up 17% year-over-year. Now, I'd like to share some highlights from our fiscal first quarter. I'll start with how we're executing on our vertical AI roadmap, specifically our continued applied AI innovation, its practical applications and our increasing client adoption. First, we introduced two new AI-powered features for Intapp Assist for DealCloud. As you may remember, Intapp Assist brings generative AI to the daily work of professionals, helping them better apply their intelligence while driving speed and accuracy. Intapp Assist now helps professionals make sourcing recommendations to quickly identify ideal target companies aligned with firm strategy, such as ideal investment candidates. And Intapp Assist now provides smart tagging to help professionals analyze and organize communications and meeting notes, making complex data easier to search and apply. We are excited that rising client adoption of Intapp Assist for DealCloud is validating our applied AI strategy and its capability to drive tangible results and positive outcomes for our clients. For example, Serena Clay, Director of International Marketing and Communications at International Investment Bank, DC Advisory said, I think a lot of the time what other companies are saying their AI tools can do can be quite performative. But I think the depth to which DealCloud has demonstrated commitment to it and also their thought process and roadmap for it has been really impressive. Second, we expanded the Intapp Assist product brand by announcing the general availability of Intapp Assist for Terms. This new generative AI feature makes it easier for legal professionals to comply with client terms by giving them immediate answers to their questions about contractual terms right in Microsoft Teams. This significantly reduces the time and research needed to comply with outside counsel guidelines and the firm's client and engagement letter commitments. It's another example of how we reach professionals in the Microsoft apps they're already using every day, easing adoption and furthering their success. As Carly Numrich, risk counsel at Fredrikson & Byron said, our staff no longer have to go into Intapp Terms and search for the right document or contact me with a question. Now they're able to pull up Microsoft Teams and ask it terms questions, such as, what are my payment terms with this client, and Intapp Assist provides the answer. It's a much more streamlined process. And we are excited to share that Intapp Walls for CoPilot is gaining traction in the market as more firms look to apply trusted AI. The solution helps professionals use Microsoft CoPilot AI in a secure compliant manner, while avoiding revealing protected information. We continue to see opportunity to expand our compliance footprint and help firms benefit from AI while adhering to their regulatory, ethical and client commitments. As Torie Carrillo, the application manager from law firm Nelson Mullins told us, because we use Intapp Walls to enforce access rules across our networks and applications, I can confidently point Microsoft CoPilot wherever we want and CoPilot will pull only from matters that the user has permission to access. These new AI features and capabilities are great examples of how our co-innovation with Microsoft is helping to propel our applied vertical AI strategy forward. Speaking of Microsoft, I'll now turn to partnerships and share how we're expanding our robust partner ecosystem to drive growth. Microsoft continues to be one of our most prominent partners. We're proud to have launched fiscal 2025 with renewed top-tier and global ISP partner status with Microsoft based on strong joint go-to-market activity and co-sell success. We continued to grow the number and volume of transactions through the Azure Marketplace in Q1 applying to clients in all our verticals and for both land and expand deals. For example, this quarter one of the world's largest multinational investment banks significantly increased its number of DealCloud seats for its capital formation team as it made the use of DealCloud mandatory for specific roles and approval processes. Next, Cassels Brock & Blackwell, one of the largest business law firms in Canada, purchased Intapp Conflicts from the Azure Marketplace to manage its conflicts clearance process, reputational risk and adopt a solution that can scale with the firm's rapid growth. Additionally, our updated partner program launched a year ago continues to attract new partners in our target markets. We now have 135 data, technology, and services partners in the program. We're also excited about another six partners who joined the program last quarter, five of which are DealCloud integration partners that bring additional data sets to our already robust platform. I'll turn now to Q1 wins and cloud migrations and share some examples of how we're continuing to grow our client base, expand with existing clients, migrate clients to the cloud and gain traction in new markets. First, I'm pleased to share that we're continuing to grow through the addition of new clients, including Crete PA, a private equity-backed network of accounting and professional services firms, which selected Intapp Conflicts to centralize, systematize and simplify the conflicts clearance process for its member firms. Next, a nationally recognized restructuring and financial advisory firm, which chose Intapp Conflicts and Intapp Intake to support its growth through acquisition. We chose these as illustrations of the growing need for compliance checking by accounting firms as growth through private equity investment and acquisitions increase in that vertical. We see this trend as a significant growth area for Intapp. And as we continue to win new clients across all our verticals, both domestically and internationally, here are some examples. In the US, a top-ranked venture capital firm focused on revolutionary technologies chose DealCloud for its robust CRM capabilities for investor tracking, investor reporting, and pipeline management. Next, internationally, TGS Baltic, a leading commercial law firm operating across the Baltic states chose DealCloud to improve its client account program structure and effectiveness to drive cross-selling and improve the identification of new sales opportunities. Additionally, cross-selling and upselling success in our existing accounts continue to drive strong net revenue retention. A few notable examples include national CPA and consulting firm Forvis Mazars, which uses Intapp Employee Compliance to manage personal independence and recently expanded its relationship with Intapp. The firm added DealCloud to now support its capital advisors team by leveraging AI to manage complex deals more efficiently. Next, a multinational law firm and long-time user of our risk and compliance solutions chose DealCloud to support its private equity team. Next, a fast-growing business advisory interim management and investment banking firm increased its number of DealCloud seats by almost 400%. And moving on to cloud migrations, we had steady progress here as well this quarter, including Am Law 200 firm, Honigman, which chose to migrate its four Intapp compliance solutions to the cloud so it can gain access to the latest applied AI and streamline its internal processes. And finally, a New York-based Am Law 100 firm chose to migrate its instance of Intapp Time to the cloud, supporting its goals of achieving more compliant time and billing, more efficient and profitable matter management and increased client satisfaction. In conclusion, we're proud of our strong performance in the first quarter and we're optimistic about our continued growth opportunities. As our Q1 performance has shown, we continue to grow by adding new capabilities to our platform and increasing our global and enterprise go-to-market reach. We see continued opportunity, both to add new clients across a broad TAM and to deliver greater value by expanding within our existing client base. We're serving a durable end market with our subscription revenue model, industry-specific cloud platform, and applied AI and compliance capabilities. We have a great growth opportunity to drive AI, cloud adoption, and modernization across all the industries we serve. As always, I'd like to thank our clients, our partners, our investors, our Board and our global Intapp team for their teamwork and dedication. Thank you all very much. Okay, David, over to you.

Thanks, John. And thank you everyone for joining us today. I'm pleased to report a strong first quarter performance, driven by solid SaaS revenue growth and an expanding client base and enhanced operational efficiency. Together, these achievements position us to extend our leadership as we pursue an exciting market opportunity in fiscal Q2 2025 and beyond. As we began our fourth fiscal year as a public company, we announced a strategic shift in February focusing on our cloud business over on-premise and service offerings. Accordingly, our disclosures will now highlight SaaS revenue and cloud metrics. Starting this quarter, our income statement separates SaaS revenue from on-premise support to better highlight the growth trajectory in our cloud business. For fiscal Q1, SaaS revenue was $76.9 million, up 30% year-over-year, driven by new client acquisitions, contract expansions and the migration of on-premise products to the cloud. As of fiscal Q1, 92% of our clients have adopted at least one cloud module. As a reminder, our previous disclosure of subscription license included the upfront portion of our on-premise contracts. We now report this as license revenue, which also includes the on-premise support portion that previously appeared in SaaS and support. License revenue was $28.5 million in fiscal Q1, up 2% year-over-year where price increases and contract expansions were offset by migrations to the cloud. To help bridge the previous SaaS and support taxonomy, revenue totaled in FQ1 to $91.5 million, up 25% year-over-year, driven by sales to new clients and expansion of existing clients through cross-selling and upselling initiatives. Professional services revenue totaled $13.4 million, down 8% year-over-year, reflecting our strategy to deemphasize services revenue. This approach aligns with our focus on deferring more of these functions to our partners, allowing us to concentrate on overall client satisfaction. Total revenue was $118 million, up 17% year-over-year, driven primarily by sales of our cloud solutions. Our international business continues to present growth opportunities for expansion and greater platform utilization beyond the US. Revenue from our international operations remained strong, comprising approximately 34% of total revenue in fiscal Q1, up from 31% a year ago. As discussed in recent quarters, we continue to invest in and expand our alliances and partner ecosystem around Intapp. Since elevating our partner program a year ago, we have attracted new partners across our target markets, now totaling 135 data, technology, and service partners, a 20% year-over-year increase. With additional accreditations and enablement, these investments enhance our capabilities and deal generation, technology, data and implementation, and we remain optimistic about their ongoing impact. Intapp's new vertical SaaS AI offerings, Assist and Walls for CoPilot, contributed once again this quarter. While it is still early in our product rollout, pipeline development and client provisioning, we are excited about the growth prospects ahead in fiscal 2025 and beyond. Q1 non-GAAP gross margin was 76.3%, up from 71.8% in the prior year period. This margin improvement was driven by our services mix and cloud optimization efforts. Non-GAAP operating expenses totaled $75.6 million compared to $66.5 million in the prior year period, reflecting our continued investment in product-led growth. As we continue to focus on our operational efficiency, non-GAAP operating income was $15.1 million as compared to $6.4 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.21 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to $0.06 in the prior year period. Free cash flow, which is defined as our cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, was $24.1 million for the first quarter or 20% of total revenue. We exited the quarter with $253.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. Turning to our key metrics. Cloud ARR was up 27% year-over-year and total ARR was up 19% year-over-year. Total remaining performance obligations were $549.4 million, up 32% year-over-year. Overall, we remain committed to executing our land and expand model, ending the quarter with over 2,600 clients. Of these, 707 had an annual recurring revenue of at least $100,000, up from 626 in the previous year. Our cloud net revenue retention rate highlights our ability to retain and steadily grow business with existing cloud clients, reaching 119% in Q1 FY25. Now turning to our outlook. For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we expect SaaS revenue of between $79.5 million and $80.5 million. As these are newly provided revenue outlook metrics, we are also providing the implied year-over-year growth outlook of between 26% and 28%. Total revenue in the range of $120.5 million and $121.5 million, non-GAAP operating income in the range of $14 million and $15 million and non-GAAP EPS results of $0.15 to $0.17 using a diluted share count weighted for the quarter of approximately 83 million common shares outstanding. For the full year fiscal 2025, we expect SaaS revenue between $327.6 million and $331.6 million. As these are newly provided revenue outlook metrics, we also are providing the implied year-over-year growth outlook of between 26% and 28%. Total revenue in the range of $495.5 million and $499.5 million. We also expect non-GAAP operating income in the range of $61.5 million and $65.5 million. And non-GAAP EPS in the range of $0.73 to $0.77 using a diluted share count weighted for fiscal year ‘25 of approximately $84 million common shares outstanding. Thank you. And I'll now turn the call back to the operator.

Our first question comes from Steve Enders of Citi.

I guess maybe just to start, it would be helpful to, I guess, get an update on maybe what you're seeing out there in the deal environment and if there has been any kind of change in some of the macro or how you're thinking about the financial services side, in particular, given some of the softness that you saw there in the past year or so?

No, we have not seen a change in the deal environment. Demand has been strong, our pipeline is quite strong. We do have the experience of lumpiness in the large deals as we've talked about from time to time, but we've not seen anything related to macro, even in financial services. So that's been great.

I would like to rephrase the question to gather insights from investors about the ARR and billing dynamics. It would be helpful to understand your perspective on how the year is shaping up in terms of timing and whether this aligns with your expectations. Additionally, how would you describe this year's performance compared to past experiences?

So as we've discussed a little bit, Q4 was very strong. We had set up a new strategic team at the beginning of fiscal '24. We had done some investment over the previous years to really develop our enterprise-grade features because we were getting interest from larger and larger accounts, and we had good success with that model in '24. So at the start of 2025 here, we moved more of our sellers into that same model as strategics, we're calling it enterprise. And we've given more of the named accounts to both new logo pursuit team and existing account management cross-sell, upsell team to take advantage of all the new clients that we brought on board in that tier. So Q1 is definitely the time that we move the accounts to the sales team that has good success there. We also have the proof point from last year of how well that went. And there's, as we talked about on the investor day, 70% of our SAM is in our top 2,000 accounts. So we want to make sure that we put the right resource allocation to set ourselves up for the $1 billion and more. And that's going well but we did see some pause in the closing of those large accounts. We did not see anything like that in the midmarket accounts, which gives us good evidence about the macro. Also, the commentary has been quite strong and the pipeline is the strongest it's ever been.

Our next question comes from Kevin McVeigh of UBS.

Can you outline the impact of the alliance, particularly how the system is evolving? Also, what are the current percentages and what could they look like over time?

The beginning of your question was…

How should we consider the alliances, and do they improve over time? What percentage of revenue do they represent today, and how can that grow in the future?

The Microsoft partnership is our largest by far. We have made significant progress during fiscal 2024 and continued in the first quarter of fiscal '25 with more co-marketing and co-selling efforts. Our product announcements related to Intapp Assist and Walls for CoPilot have been very successful. The Azure relationship allows firms to utilize part of their minimum Azure spend through their MAC agreement with us, as our entire portfolio is now accessible on the Azure Marketplace, and Microsoft sales representatives earn commission and quota relief when they sell Intapp products. Everything is in place for co-selling. We have also requalified for Microsoft's top-tier status and global IC status, which we are very pleased about, and our collaboration in the field is strong. We have important large account deal sharing and are co-selling in several key areas. I am excited about our relationship with Microsoft. It takes time to build, but we are making great strides. Additionally, beyond Microsoft, our partnerships are growing robustly. Many data partners are coming on board, and numerous services partners are helping us to expand our market reach both domestically and internationally, showing that our partnership program is developing effectively.

And then just to follow up on that, obviously, you're seeing a lot of outsized success on the margin in terms of literally the margin upside, particularly relative to how you're guiding. Any thoughts as to what's driving that, number one? And then philosophically, does that continue to flow to the bottom line or do you use that as an opportunity to reinvest and capture more of the gen AI opportunity?

One moment for our next question.

Kevin, just to answer your question on margin. Dave, do you want to take that one?

We'll continue to work on our productivity and efficiency, not only on the gross margin as we continue to scale, we still have some opportunity there, we've been working. And I want to thank publicly our services team continue to bring that to not only neutral, but beyond that, as well as there's still scale opportunity within our cloud operations altogether. And then when you go below the line, clearly, we're going to continue to invest in the company. We've continued to invest. So this hasn't been an absolute reduction. But where you have seen scale has been both in our sales and marketing productivity as well as in our G&A. And so when you think about how we continue to invest and stay ahead of the front, specifically in our product-led growth organization, that's where you'll continue to see more of an orientation within our product and engineering teams, which gets to your question of gen AI and other narratives on that. I'm very excited about our roadmap and what that will continue to entail, as well as where that leads us in the back half of this fiscal year.

Our next question comes from Alexei Gogolev of JP Morgan.

John, David, may I confirm the implied guidance for the year of SaaS revenues in the back half of fiscal 2025. It seems like you're suggesting there might be a slightly lower share of those revenues in the second half of the year versus 2Q. Maybe some outlook or color on why that might be?

Could you repeat the question? Were you looking at just the pure SaaS or SaaS and support or…

Well, you're disclosing pure SaaS now and in 2Q, you're guiding 67% or thereabouts, almost 67% and for full year, closer to 66%. Just trying to understand if you're expecting some change in the revenue mix or this is just conservative assumption?

No, we're being prudent on the overall metrics. I think what you'll see as we uptick both SaaS as well as the total revenue in total, we do have some shift evolutions as we continue to balance license as we talked about and putting more in the cloud, which is a time and effort and an evolution as well as you get an associated pickup when that happens that we've talked about. So it's not a matter of if, it's just when. So that's one balancing impact. And then the other balancing impact is also how we've continued to articulate the services portion and that we want to not only focus more on our customer satisfaction but then also continue to grow our partner economy. And so that's been a balancing act as we think about our respective guide, all of which is continue to be very prudent in our eyes and so we can continue to deliver the expected results.

And can you remind us what your outlook is on net new customer additions versus upsell and cross-sell, the ratio that you anticipate going forward?

We don't provide specific guidance on that. However, historically, you can expect that about 20% to 40% of net new logo revenue comes from annual contract value dollars, which leads to expansion efforts. We have a significant opportunity to generate over $1 billion from our net new logos, and as we continue to cross-sell and upsell, there's another $1 billion opportunity in that area. For this year, as we focus on the second half of fiscal 2025, we expect our performance to align within those ranges.

Our next question comes from Koji Ikeda of Bank of America.

I had a question on cloud ARR. It just grew 27.5%. Really, really strong performance, all things considered, but I do look at it and it has been decelerating. And I listen to the commentary on the pipeline, which sounds really, really strong. But then I also listened to, it sounds like there might be a little bit of deal elongation out there too. So I guess the question is, what is the potential for this cloud ARR growth metric to accelerate over the next several quarters from here, and what would be the drivers for that?

So I'll give some points and then Dave, you can add anything you like. But the core of it is we sell all cloud now, as you know. We're steadily moving up the percentage of the overall business in the cloud and we report that. So all the new additions add to the cloud growth. We also have more new logos that we acquire each quarter and so the cross-sell and upsell that we do to existing clients is all cloud. And so the fundamental growth of the business is in that cloud ARR number. There's also a movement to migrate the existing remaining components of our client base to the cloud, and we talked about that a little bit. I think as far as the deals go, as we move up to the larger firms and you saw some very large numbers in Q4 when we reported the number of $1 million ARR clients, those firms are not only large opportunities when we land them but there are large opportunities when we expand as well. So as we allocate our resources to pursue the 2,000 named accounts at the top of the market more and more, which we made a move here in 2025 to do more of, I think you're going to see an exciting opportunity for us to bring in larger deals. They do tend to be lumpier as we've talked about from quarter to quarter. At the same time, when they come in we can have some really exciting results. So those are the major components.

And maybe just a quick follow-up here. Last quarter, you gave a percentage of net new ACV coming from AI products at 4%. I know there's some qualitative commentary in the prepared remarks. But I was wondering if we could get that number, an updated number. What was that this quarter versus last quarter, if you could please?

We're just going to provide that more so on an annual basis. We know we kind of brought it out last quarter kind of as a rolling thunder just to give some insight and thought leadership in and around how we're monetizing that. That continues and we'll continue to provide periodic updates but not one of a quarterly metric.

Our next question comes from Alex Sklar of Raymond James.

Can you elaborate more on the changes in the sales team and go-to-market strategy that you discussed? How much of the team was affected and when were those changes made? Also, have you seen any improvements in market productivity for the large account team in October that influenced your decision to raise the full-year guidance above the Q1 results?

So we tested out the model in '24. At the very top of market, we saw some excellent results. We moved a significant portion of the team at the beginning of fiscal '25 when we gave new territories and comp plans for the year. I'm very appreciative of the team's excellent work. We have longstanding team members who are very experienced in this industry and there was a lot of collaboration to help move accounts to folks in each area. We also followed through on what we discussed at investor day, which was to put the entire team into a new accounts, existing accounts model, because there's a significant number of new logos across the board for us to go, continue to focus on and win. We can get to $1 billion or more just doing that. But we also have $1 billion or more from cross-sell and upsell. So we wanted to make sure we have the right account management investment to drive the whole portfolio through the business. The number of $1 million accounts that we showed in Q4 came both from new logo acquisition and cross-sell into those large accounts, and there's a huge opportunity for us to meet the needs of the underserved market this way. So I think the resource allocation choice that we moved on here was well proven. I think the opportunity going forward as people now have had a chance to meet everybody and talk to their new accounts and get going with pipeline advancement, pipeline development and advancing the deals that were handed over to them are in good shape. And so we're excited about the rest of the year.

Could you provide an update on the factors influencing cloud NRR this quarter? Have there been any changes regarding end market growth or solution type expansion? Additionally, would you be able to share the total NRR figure for this quarter?

Any key drivers? No, I mean, it's continued success. The teams that continue to garner the expands, right? They do a wonderful job doing cross-sell and upsell and continue to monetize those opportunities, which even going back to our Analyst Day on February 22nd, you've seen the cohorts of each of those respective years and how big they can be. So that's just a continuation of that. I can’t provide our total NRR and we'll continue to disclose that in our 10-Q. It was approximately 114% within the respective range of the 113% to 117%. But I really want to transition everyone over to primary cloud metrics, because those are going to be the ones that we're focused on and obviously that we're garnering more and more attention to as well as support and investment thereof, specifically on the expand motion because when you go from on-prem to off-prem, it's going to change some of those cohorts as well. And so I just don't want to get into a reconciliation of how that attribution is going forward. So anyway, there you go.

Our next question comes from Saket Kalia of Barclays.

John, maybe for you, a lot of great examples in the prepared remarks around new and existing customers and around gen AI. Maybe a bit of a broader question. Can you just speak to sort of where you think we are in the journey of converting those on-prem customers to SaaS? I mean, there are a lot of things that you can do to entice them to move over. Where are we sort of in that journey? And what do you think is going to change here in fiscal '25 around that, does that make sense?

We talked at Investor Day about the fact that we historically had been at the client's option. But starting in fiscal '25, we were looking to be a little bit more encouraging to move firms along, and we're definitely doing that. We're doing that in a few ways. The first, fundamentally, is you can only get the generative AI capabilities and, in fact, even more the AI capabilities more broadly in the cloud. And there's a lot of pressure coming from the professionals across these firms to create a more modern experience for them and for the way that they work inside their organizations that they want to take advantage of all these new capabilities. So there's a natural pull that was always there, but I think AI obviously gives a lot of excitement to people to pull that in. Secondly, there's a real demand from the firms to move into the cloud because of scalability and reliability and security. Firms have just come to the correct conclusion that they don't have the IT spend scale to create the right kind of security and scalability environment that they could get working with us and partnering with Microsoft around Azure that the firms basically just need. And so there's a lot of pressure to the firms to get off their on-prem remaining environments themselves, and we're benefiting from that. And then, I think to your point about what we're doing specifically, we absolutely have a program now in fiscal '25 that we have launched to go through each of the remaining firms that have some on-prem component and help them in a variety of ways to get over the hurdle and move to the cloud platform, because as Dave showed at Investor Day in some of his client account expansion slides, boy, is it worth it to get those firms onto the cloud, because their expansion rate really picks up. So we're making judicious prudent choices in each area to help every firm through a variety of techniques make the case to get there. And I'm excited about how positively we're received. There is not a remaining firm out there that's making an argument that they should be on-prem; they all know they need to get to the cloud, it's just a practical question. How do they line up their IT schedule to do that.

Dave, perhaps in response to the earlier point about net new ARR being variable, I want to mention that total net new ARR decreased year-over-year this quarter. However, considering Intapp's strong performance in Q4, is there anything from our analysis that we should remember regarding the timing of how deals are distributed across different quarters?

Not necessarily from a pull forward or a push out or anything like that or even a nominal seasonality. I do think as we think about really coming into this new fiscal year, and as John alluded to, and getting the teams aligned and organized and the sales kickoff, and seeing all the success from previous years, where is the opportunity of kind of how we've articulated how we're going to get to $1 billion in the named accounts and midmarket and so on and so on. I think for us, as we think about the opportunity coming into this quarter and others, we've been spending a lot more time on kind of our own hype gen, hype analytics, pre-shopping, shopping, where those cohorts land. And to John's earlier point, we haven't seen a strongest type—maybe in the history of kind of our time. And so we're excited about those opportunities and it's for us to go and monetize and convert those over. And so we like how Q2 started to play out, as well as not only here but also into the back half of the fiscal year.

Our next question comes from Parker Lane of Stifel.

You talked a lot about the development and go-to-markets around some of the generative AI opportunities. But I was wondering if you could touch on any particular learnings you've had in discussions with your customers around the pricing and packaging of those solutions? Has there been any, sort of, changes or excitement around the way you guys are pricing, what are your early impressions of how that's being received?

I think we, as everybody, have benefited from the whole generative AI buzz over the past year or two on one hand. So the world has done its work to educate the market even down to the professional users that there's potential for something like this out there. I think we're moving into a phase of the generative AI generation where the general promise is hitting the real world. Our strategy, which we have argued from the beginning is that these generational shifts in the technology happen in specific applications. It's the old killer app idea, what is it that's going to pull in these generations of capabilities with very specific applications that really understand the end user. I think the vertically oriented companies, and obviously we with this particular end market that's very susceptible to the hype, the whole trick is how do you build very specific applications early on that the user can get an immediate benefit. I was very excited about this Intapp Assist for terms launch, which brings the whole concept into our compliance value proposition to help people just talk conversationally through Teams to Intapp Assist, and it answers questions about their promises to clients across the firm or some promise that some other professional that's one of their partners made somewhere else in the world that they need to know about when working with the client. So those specific applications are really winning with the individual users and with the firm's leadership. And from a pricing and packaging standpoint, we've seen good success in being able to defend pricing even in this era when some of the more generic GenAI systems are getting a little bit of pressure. We've got great value because we've been able to isolate down to some of these specific value propositions. Obviously, over time, Intapp Assist will grow and we'll have more and more of those, it'll be a richer and richer platform. But I think the real trick from a marketing and go-to-market standpoint is really to nail those use cases, and the team's done a fantastic job. I'm very grateful to the work that they've done and to the clients for taking it up.

Our next question comes from Terry Tillman of Truist Securities.

I'm not going to ask about ARR but will focus on KPMG. Last quarter, you achieved a significant win within their global network of businesses. After that deal was signed, what can you tell us about your collaboration product? Has it been key to winning more business? Additionally, I understand that the deal was finalized through Azure Marketplace. How is that reducing friction and facilitating deal closures, particularly regarding the use of credits?

So you're right. We were very excited about that announcement. It gives us an opportunity to go across the KPMG network in that case, and there are analogous opportunities for us across the whole market. Historically this end market, these professional and financial services firms have been underserved by a vertical player like us and we're bringing a purpose-built platform in the cloud. We have generative AI that they just haven't had access to before. So we're excited about that. With regard to collaboration specifically, this is the product that is most closely enabled through the Microsoft partnership because we help firms take advantage of Microsoft Teams and SharePoint and Microsoft 365, Office 365 in a way that works in the professional firms where that really understands the deals and matters and engagements and projects that the firms are working on, and it also understands the compliance requirements that those teams have as they work together. So we think it's a great fit. KPMG is one example. But we have quite a few new firms that have come on taking up our collaboration solution in a way that gives us a lot of confidence about the future there. And KPMG is an interesting example in accounting. We've had a lot of uptake in the accounting market, I think, because they have been so underserved historically. We're seeing more uptake in the other markets, but accounting has really gotten excited about it. So we're super happy about that. I think with regards to the Azure Marketplace question, it has a couple of benefits for reducing friction. One is the firms have already signed a contract with Microsoft that they're going to spend ex dollars this year on Microsoft stuff. And so once they've done that, if you can go in and show them capabilities like collaboration that fit their needs for their IT priorities and they've already promised to spend the money, why not spend it with you? I think that's the simplest argument for the Azure Marketplace is those MAC agreements. But I also think that firms are trying to simplify their vendor relationships. They want to work with people that are at scale that can supply across the portfolio. The Intapp Microsoft partnership really helps them simplify their environment. And the fact that we're helping them get the most value out of the existing Microsoft spend on Office 365 and Teams really helps them as well. So the field loves it. When we engage now, this is one of the first questions that the team asks the prospect is, do you have a relationship here, do you have a MAC agreement, can we work with you on the Azure Marketplace? And the response is generally very positive because people are getting used to buying it that way.

Our next question comes from Arvind Ramnani of Piper Sandler.

I wanted to ask about your partnership with Microsoft, which has been a significant aspect of your AI strategy. First, are you keeping your options flexible? Microsoft appears to be leading in this area, but are you open to new opportunities as AI technology evolves and potentially introduces new leaders? Secondly, from a cost perspective, do you see any risk that Microsoft might leverage its leadership position to increase costs for its partners?

On the first point, as we've talked about on other calls and at Investor Day, we do have more than one AI technology capability in the company. As we've shared with you all, we have been developing AI-based technology for this end market with specialized vertical purpose-built applications for 10 or 15 years. We had some of the first technology in the market 10 or 12 years ago with our Time product that helped the lawyers at the time figure out what they should bill for. And over the years, we have grown our AI team and generative AI is the most recent example. Now it's kind of news everywhere. But we've been in that line of technology for quite a while because there's such an opportunity in this market in particular to use AI techniques and AI technologies to help firms make sense of structured and unstructured information in a more productive way. So we're big believers in it. And yes, we do have other technologies working inside the platform. So we're not exclusive with Microsoft on AI technology. That being said, this end market is also a very Microsoft-oriented end market. The professional firms, the financial firms, particularly in their IT departments but more generally, spend all their time in the Microsoft environment. So the partnership is very important. It's also very strategic for us to make sure we can say yes to these firms and be aligned with their IT strategy. I think that this actually gives us a real advantage versus technology companies that don't have the same alignment with Microsoft's plan. I think your question about cost is kind of the flip side of that. There are all kinds of things progressing in the open-source world and elsewhere around AI technologies. Microsoft certainly has a tremendous position, but there are also all kinds of options out there. So I think we're going to benefit from that as will the whole world and industry on this idea of how do you get the most effective AI at the right cost structure to enable you to bring solutions to market that firms can really take up. We're going to see how it plays out but I think Intapp is very well positioned around AI to take the best advantage as we go forward.

Our next question comes from Brian Schwartz of Oppenheimer.

John, I was hoping to just follow up on your commentary that the large deal activity was, maybe it was less robust than what the business had seen the last couple of quarters. I'm just curious because the pipeline commentary is very strong. Do you think that that's just seasonality or is it a macro or maybe election related? Curious to get what your take is on that.

I think because we've seen such consistent performance in our mid-market business, the main factor is the realignment that we did at the beginning of fiscal 2025 to put more resources against the 2,000 enterprise accounts. I think that's the main driver. Whether the election has something to do with the market generally, we probably would have seen in the midmarket if it did. Who knows to that question? But I think, generally speaking, we started the year and did the appropriate assignment of resources to the large accounts with a good proof point from last year about what that could do for us, and I think the opportunity scale is significant. And so we want to build the company to a $1 billion and I want to make sure we've got the team set up to do it. We've got sales professionals who have been through this before and all they got to do is go meet the firms and get their pipeline advanced, and that's what we saw in the first quarter. So I'm comfortable that we've put the right resources against a very large opportunity here and we're set up to go.

David, maybe just one with you. In terms of maybe the assumptions that's underlying your growth guidance, I'm just curious how you're thinking about the capital markets activity. Are you expecting any change in maybe the end market demand for that segment from maybe what you were thinking three months ago given how interest rates have changed since you last gave guidance? No. For us, our end markets have been relatively healthy that we've commented on. We have one aberration that we commented approximately a year ago when we saw some headwinds specifically with one specific group within the overall financial services. But if you think about in broad-based everything's been really healthy quite candidly. And so this has been about us and able to execute and drive everything from pipe to conversion. We're just avid believers in our product, our platform. We believe we're one, nobody who's got the very specific purpose-built platforms for what they're looking for. And so it's for us to go execute outside of whether it'd be election cycle, outside of some of the capital market, interest rates, and other things going on.

Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. I'd like to turn it back to John Hall for closing remarks.

Okay. Thanks everyone. We appreciate your attention and questions. We have a great Q1 behind us, and we're excited about our continued momentum throughout fiscal '25. Thanks again for your time today. We look forward to talking to you all next quarter.

This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating and you may now disconnect.
