Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of C3.ai, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of C3.ai, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of April 30, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended April 30, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 23, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue - Refer to Notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

Certain of the Company’s revenue contracts with customers include multiple performance obligations (such as delivery of software licenses, software-as-a-service, associated maintenance and support, professional services, and others). The Company typically negotiates contracts with its customers, and while many of these contracts contain standard terms and conditions, customer contracts may have customer specific terms and conditions due to the nature of the contracts.

Pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company is required to evaluate whether each performance obligation represents goods and services that are distinct. A good or service is distinct where the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and is distinct in the context of the contract, where the transfer of the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The identification and evaluation of performance obligations can require significant judgment and could impact the amount of revenue recognized in a given period.

We identified the Company’s identification and evaluation of performance obligations impacting revenue recognition as a critical audit matter because of the judgment management makes in evaluating the terms and conditions in such contracts and the impact of such judgment on the amount of revenue recognized in a given period. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of testing.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s identification and evaluation of performance obligations for customer contracts included the following, among others:

We tested the effectiveness of internal controls over the Company’s process related to the identification of performance obligations, specifically around the review of the terms and conditions and proper evaluation of performance obligations.

We evaluated management’s significant accounting policies related to revenue recognition, including the identification of performance obligations, for reasonableness and compliance with generally accepted accounting principles.

We selected a sample of contracts and performed the following:

Obtained and read contract source documents, including order forms, master agreements, amendments, and other documents that were a part of the contract.

Assessed the terms and conditions in the contract source documents and evaluated the appropriateness of management’s application of their accounting policies in the identification and evaluation of performance obligations.
