Q&A Highlights
- Commercial progress: Execution focus on construction workflows to reach market standard; multi-phase priorities spanning presales, cash collection, project workflows, and Pro attach .
- Consolidation trends: PE-backed rollups standardizing on ServiceTitan drive licensing and GTV growth, higher Pro attach, and entry into new trades (e.g., roofing) .
- Take/earn rate dynamics: Take rates rise with segment maturity via higher Pro and FinTech attach and pricing; emphasis on becoming “market standard” in each segment .
- Free cash flow cadence: Q4 expected FCF positive, roughly in line or slightly above operating income guidance; Q3 benefited from working capital favorability (bonuses timing) .
- Net dollar retention: Target ~110% range beyond first two-year cohorts, anchored by gross dollar retention north of 95% pre-IPO .
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus for Q3 FY25 revenue and EPS was unavailable at time of this report due to data access limits, so formal beat/miss vs Street cannot be determined. Management noted results above the midpoint of preliminary “flash” ranges, indicating positive intra-quarter performance vs preliminaries .
- We will update estimate comparisons upon availability of SPGI data.
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Durable topline growth with improving non-GAAP profitability: Positive non-GAAP operating income and ~70% non-GAAP gross margin underscore operating discipline while scaling .
- Product-led expansion: Early traction in Sales Pro and Contact Center Pro, plus proven AI modules (Dispatch Pro, Ads Optimizer, Sales Pro) should support subscription acceleration and higher monetization (Pro/FinTech attach) .
- Healthy customer economics: NDR >110% and GTV growth (+20% YoY) reflect strong expansion across cohorts; consolidators remain a favorable mix tailwind .
- Near-term investment posture: Expect limited R&D leverage as product S-curves stack; watch for G&A normalization after public-company cost absorption .
- Guidance sets a steady cadence: Q4 FY25 revenue $199–$201M and non-GAAP op income $3–$4M; FY25 revenue $761.6–$763.6M and non-GAAP op income $21.4–$22.4M provide visibility into execution pace .
- Cash generation and balance sheet strength: Positive operating cash flow and FCF in Q3, with subsequent IPO proceeds and preferred stock retirement positioning ServiceTitan with greater financial flexibility .
- Trading implications: In the absence of Street consensus, focus on sustained subscription growth, Pro product uptake, and sequential non-GAAP margin expansion as catalysts; monitor commercial workflow milestones and attach rates as medium-term thesis drivers .
