    Question

    Abigail Rudder, on for Rayna Kumar from Oppenheimer, asked about the outlook for hardware revenue in fiscal 2026 after persistent headwinds and inquired about the impact on guidance. She also asked to distinguish between declines from delayed sales versus cloud migrations.

    Answer

    CFO & Treasurer Mimi Carsley explained that while hardware revenue is not expected to rebound massively, it will be less of a material headwind in fiscal 2026 due to the lower base from fiscal 2025. She noted the decline is primarily structural, driven by the ongoing migration of clients from on-premise to the private cloud, as very few new clients choose on-premise solutions.
