The revenue signal was backed by adoption data. CoCo added over 2,000 accounts, bringing its total to more than 9,100. CoWork finished the quarter with 5,800 accounts.

Snowflake maintained its momentum in attracting large clients, reporting 828 customers each generating over $1 million in annual revenue. This figure marked a 27% increase compared with the same period last year.

Contracted backlog indicated a more guarded outlook. Remaining performance obligations reached $9.00 billion, representing a 30% increase year-over-year. This marked a decrease from $9.21 billion at the end of the April quarter.

Profit quality remains a concern. Snowflake posted a GAAP operating loss of $263 million. The company reported $456 million in stock-based compensation, representing 29% of revenue. Adjusted operating income reached $237 million, giving a margin of 15.3%.

Risks: Snowflake logs revenue based on customer usage patterns, which may vary from one period to another. Backlog does not guarantee when that usage will occur. A lofty valuation following earnings gives limited cushion if growth decelerates again.
