Rich Magnus's questions to Twilio Inc (TWLO) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Rich Magnus, on for Alex Zukin, asked if free cash flow margin expansion would outpace operating margin expansion next year and requested quantification of the Q4 political traffic impact.
Answer
CFO Aidan Viggiano stated that while explicit 2025 free cash flow guidance is not yet available, it generally tracks non-GAAP operating income over time, though Q4 FCF will see a sequential decline due to vendor prepayments. She noted that political traffic in Q3 contributed an immaterial 90 basis points to growth, which was offset by the Zipwhip software sunset, and expects a similarly immaterial impact in Q4.
