PROCORE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (PCOR)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 delivered a clean top-line and EPS beat with revenue of $338.9M vs S&P Global consensus $328.1M and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.42 vs $0.32; non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 17% from 13% in Q2, aided by mix and some one-time G&A benefits . Revenue Consensus: $328.1M*, EPS Consensus: $0.323*, EBITDA Consensus: $67.3M*.
- FY 2025 guidance was raised: revenue to $1.312B–$1.314B and non-GAAP operating margin to 14% (prior $1.299B–$1.302B and 13%–13.5%), signaling improved confidence in growth durability and margin trajectory .
- Q4 guide implies 12%–13% y/y growth with non-GAAP operating margin ~14.4%; management highlighted net new ARR growth outpacing revenue, large-deal strength, and longer contract durations supporting CRPO .
- Strategic updates and catalysts: announced a new $300M buyback (after ~$129M YTD repurchases), CEO transition to Ajei Gopal (Ansys pedigree), and AI product momentum (Assist, Agent Builder, AWS collaboration), all likely to underpin sentiment and multiple stability .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Broad-based execution: net new ARR grew “notably faster” than revenue, strong owner and specialty contractor motions, and improved cross-sell; large six- and seven-figure deals accelerated 31% y/y .
- Margin expansion: non-GAAP operating margin reached 17% in Q3 (from 13% in Q2; 10% in Q1), with continued leverage and one-time G&A tailwinds; free cash flow of $67.7M, +194% y/y .
- AI and platform leadership: at Groundbreak, Procore rolled out agentic AI roadmap (Assist, Agent Builder), cited unmatched proprietary construction data; AWS collaboration and FedRAMP “Moderate Equivalency” designation broaden market reach .
Management quote: “We have built an unrivaled platform... well-positioned to harness the power of AI for our customers, and our go-to-market model is yielding positive returns.” — CEO Tooey Courtemanche .
What Went Wrong
- Macro remains a headwind: combined U.S. non-residential and multifamily sectors posted -2% growth; management cautioned lead-times before a turn shows up in revenue .
- FX pressure internationally: Q3 international revenue grew 14% y/y, but FX was a ~1pt headwind; constant currency +15% .
- EBITDA optics vs Street: S&P Global’s EBITDA actual appears well below consensus, reflecting methodology differences vs company’s preferred non-GAAP operating margin framework; this could create confusion in models*. Actual EBITDA: $15.2M*, vs consensus $67.3M*.
