Current report
Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended October 31, 2025 and 2024
Current report
The overall increase in research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, was partially offset by a decrease of $15.9 million in costs incurred by us in connection with a restructuring plan for a majority-owned subsidiary, net of associated income and recoveries.
Current report
Interest income decreased $3.2 million and $4.6 million during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, compared to the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, respectively, primarily due to lower weighted average annual yields on our cash equivalents and investments in available-for-sale marketable debt securities as a result of decreased interest rates. See Note 4, “Cash Equivalents, Investments and Strategic Investments,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details on our cash equivalents and investments.
Current report
In November 2025, we amended one of our third-party cloud infrastructure agreements effective November 1, 2025 (November 2025 Amendment). Under the amended agreement, we have committed to spend at least $530.0 million between November 2025 and October 2030 on cloud infrastructure services with no minimum purchase commitment during any year. We are required to pay the difference if we fail to meet the minimum purchase commitment as of October 2030. Up to $100.0 million of such payments can be applied to qualifying spending on cloud infrastructure services for up to one year after October 2030, subject to certain conditions. We are no longer required to fulfill the remaining non-cancelable purchase commitment under the agreement prior to the November 2025 Amendment, which totaled $171.3 million as of October 31, 2025.
Current report
In November 2025, we renewed and expanded our agreement with a third-party AI service provider to support our AI products. Under the renewal agreement, we have committed to spend an aggregate of at least $200.0 million over a three-year contract term that began in December 2025 ($50.0 million, $70.0 million and $80.0 million for the contract years ending November 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively). Services accessed through certain public cloud providers may be applied toward our contractual spend commitments under this renewal agreement. We are required to pay the difference if we fail to meet the minimum purchase commitment during any contract year.
Current report
In November 2025, we completed acquisitions of two privately-held companies for an aggregate of approximately $44 million in cash or a combination of cash and unregistered shares of our common stock, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. We are currently evaluating the purchase price allocation for these transactions.

Our cloud-native architecture includes three independently scalable but logically integrated layers across compute, storage, and cloud services. The compute layer provides dedicated resources to enable users to simultaneously access common data sets for many use cases with minimal latency. The storage layer ingests massive amounts and varieties of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data to create a unified data record. The cloud services layer intelligently optimizes each use case’s performance requirements with no administration. This architecture is built on three major public clouds across 49 regional deployments around the world. These deployments are generally interconnected to deliver the AI Data Cloud, enabling a consistent, global user experience.

Our go-to-market strategy is focused on acquiring new customers and driving increased use of our platform for existing customers. We primarily focus our selling efforts on large organizations and primarily sell our platform through a direct sales force, which targets technical and business leaders who are adopting a cloud strategy and leveraging data to improve their business performance. Our sales force is comprised of sales development, inside sales, and field sales personnel and is segmented by the industry, size, and region of prospective customers. Once our platform has been adopted, we focus on increasing the migration of additional customer workloads to our platform to drive increased consumption, as evidenced by our net revenue retention rate of 125% and 126% as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively. See the section titled “Key Business Metrics” for a definition of net revenue retention rate.

Previous wording
New software releases or hardware improvements, like better storage compression, cloud infrastructure processor improvements, and compute optimization, may make our platform more efficient, enabling customers to consume fewer compute, storage, and data transfer resources to accomplish the same workloads. In addition, open data formats allow customers to use our platform for compute services without requiring storage. To the extent these improvements do not result in an offsetting increase in new workloads, we may experience lower revenue. Our ability to increase usage of our platform by, and sell additional contracted capacity to, existing customers, and, in particular, large enterprise customers, will depend on a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our platform, competition, pricing, macroeconomic conditions, overall changes in our customers’ spending levels, customers’ attempts to optimize their consumption, our customers’ confidence in the security of our platform, our ability to maintain our reputation as a trustworthy vendor, the effectiveness of our and our partners’ efforts to help our customers realize the benefits of our platform, and the extent to which customers migrate new workloads to our platform over time, including data science, AI, and machine learning workloads.

Our future success also depends on our ability to acquire new customers. We believe there is a substantial opportunity to further grow our customer base by continuing to make significant investments in sales and marketing and brand awareness. Our ability to attract new customers will depend on a number of factors, including the productivity of our sales organization, competitive dynamics in our target markets, changes in our customers’ spending and platform consumption in response to market uncertainty, our ability to mitigate reputational damage following cybersecurity threat activity directed at our customers, and our ability to build and maintain partner relationships, including with global system integrators, resellers, technology partners, and third-party providers of native applications on the Snowflake Marketplace. While our platform is built for organizations of all sizes, we focus our selling efforts on large enterprise customers, customers with vast amounts of data, and customers requiring industry-specific solutions. We may not achieve anticipated revenue growth if we are unable to attract, hire, develop, integrate, and retain talented and effective sales personnel; if our sales personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time and maintain productivity; or if our sales and marketing programs are not effective.

(3)Cash outflows for employee payroll tax items related to the net share settlement of equity awards were $162.0 million, $132.5 million, $129.5 million, $81.5 million, and $103.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025, April 30, 2025, January 31, 2025, October 31, 2024, and July 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are included in cash flow for financing activities and, as a result, do not have an effect on the calculation of non-GAAP free cash flow. See the section titled “Free Cash Flow” for a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to non-GAAP free cash flow.

(5)As of July 31, 2025, our remaining performance obligations were approximately $6.9 billion, of which we expect approximately 50% to be recognized as revenue in the 12 months ending July 31, 2026 based on historical customer consumption patterns. The weighted-average remaining life of our capacity contracts was 2.4 years as of July 31, 2025. However, the amount and timing of revenue recognition are generally dependent upon customers’ future consumption, which is inherently variable at our customers’ discretion and can extend beyond the original contract term in cases where customers are permitted to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally upon the purchase of additional capacity at renewal. In addition, our historical customer consumption patterns are not necessarily indicative of future results.

We deliver our platform over the internet as a service. Customers choose to consume our platform under either capacity arrangements, in which they commit to a certain amount of consumption at specified prices, or under on-demand arrangements, in which we charge for use of our platform monthly in arrears. Under capacity arrangements, from which a majority of our revenue is derived, we typically bill our customers annually in advance of their consumption. However, in future periods, we expect to see an increase in capacity contracts providing for quarterly upfront billings and monthly in arrears billings as our customers increasingly want to align consumption and timing of payments. Revenue from on-demand arrangements typically relates to customers with lower usage levels or overage consumption beyond a customer’s contracted usage amount under a capacity contract or following the expiration of a customer’s capacity contract. Revenue from on-demand arrangements represented approximately 2% of our revenue for each of the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024.

Our customer contracts for capacity typically have a term of one to four years. The weighted-average term of capacity contracts entered into during the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 is approximately 3.0 years and 2.9 years, respectively. To the extent our customers enter into such contracts and either consume our platform in excess of their capacity commitments or continue to use our platform after expiration of the contract term, they are charged for their incremental consumption. In many cases, our customer contracts permit customers to roll over any unused capacity to a subsequent order, generally upon the purchase of additional capacity. For those customers who do not have a capacity arrangement, our on-demand arrangements generally have a monthly stated contract term and can be terminated at any time by either the customer or us.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with our sales and marketing staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation. Sales and marketing expenses also include sales commissions and draws paid to our sales force and certain referral fees paid to third parties, including amortization of deferred commissions. A portion of the sales commissions paid to the sales force is earned based on the level of the customers’ consumption of our platform, and a portion of the commissions paid to the sales force is earned upon the origination, expansion, or renewal of customer contracts. Sales commissions tied to customers’ consumption are expensed in the same period as they are earned. Sales commissions and referral fees earned upon the origination or expansion of customer contracts that are not commensurate with those earned upon the renewal of contracts are capitalized and then amortized over a period of benefit that we determined to be five years. Sales commissions earned upon the renewal of customer contracts, as well as sales commissions earned upon the origination or expansion of customer contracts that are commensurate with those for renewal contracts, are capitalized and then amortized over the respective weighted-average contractual term of the related contracts. Sales and marketing expenses also include advertising costs and other expenses associated with our sales, marketing and business development programs, including our user conferences, offset by proceeds from such conferences and programs. In addition, sales and marketing expenses are comprised of travel-related expenses, software and subscription services dedicated for use by our sales and marketing organizations, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and outside services contracted for sales and marketing purposes. We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars and continue to be our largest operating expense for the foreseeable future as we grow our business. However, we expect that our sales and marketing expenses will decrease as a percentage of our revenue over time, although the percentage may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing and the extent of these expenses.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with our research and development staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation. Research and development expenses also include contractor or professional services fees, third-party cloud infrastructure expenses incurred in developing our platform (including those related to GPUs to develop AI Technology), amortization of acquired intangible assets, and expenses associated with software and subscription services dedicated for use by our research and development organization. Prior to fiscal 2026, research and development expenses related to our cloud platform that qualified as internal-use software development costs were capitalized under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350-40, Internal-use Software (ASC 350-40). During the three months ended April 30, 2025, we began marketing the Snowflake platform to selected public sector customers who will have contractual rights to take possession of our software and who will contract with third parties to host our software. As a result, our ongoing and future software development costs related to the Snowflake platform must be accounted for under ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed (ASC 985-20). Costs that meet the criteria for capitalization under ASC 985-20 are not expected to be material. Software development costs capitalized prior to fiscal 2026 in connection with the Snowflake platform will be amortized over their remaining useful life and recognized as cost of product revenue. See Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details. We expect that our research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars due to business growth, continued investments in our platform, and a decrease in the amount of software development costs eligible for capitalization.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows but will decrease as a percentage of our revenue over time, although the percentage may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing and the extent of these expenses. In addition, during the six months ended July 31, 2025, we recognized asset impairment charges of $108.6 million as general and administrative expenses, primarily relating to the cease-use of our San Mateo office facility.

Previous wording
We had 654 customers with product revenue of greater than $1 million for the trailing 12 months ended July 31, 2025, an increase from 504 such customers as of July 31, 2024. Such customers represented approximately 67% and 61% of our product revenue for the trailing 12 months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Within these customers, we had 124 and 45 customers with product revenue of greater than $5 million and $10 million, respectively, for the trailing 12 months ended July 31, 2025. The substantial majority of our revenue was derived from existing customers under capacity arrangements, which represented approximately 98% of our revenue for each of the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024. The remainder was derived from on-demand arrangements and new customers under capacity arrangements. The preceding historical metrics reflect any adjustments for acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs, and other market activity. For purposes of determining revenue derived from (i) customers with trailing 12-month product revenue greater than $1 million, (ii) new customers, and (iii) existing customers, we treat each customer account, including accounts for end-customers under a reseller arrangement, that has at least one corresponding capacity contract as a unique customer, and a single organization with multiple divisions, segments, or subsidiaries may be counted as multiple customers.

Previous wording
Cost of product revenue increased $66.7 million and $132.4 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, compared to the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $58.6 million and $110.3 million in third-party cloud infrastructure expenses (including those related to GPUs) for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, as a result of increased customer consumption of our platform. Amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired developed technology intangible assets also increased $7.0 million and $14.6 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The remaining increase in cost of product revenue for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 was primarily driven by increased personnel-related costs and allocated overhead costs as a result of increased headcount and overall costs to support the growth in our business.
Current wording
Cost of product revenue increased $57.2 million and $189.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, compared to the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, respectively.

Amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired developed technology intangible assets also increased $7.2 million and $21.9 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The overall increase in cost of product revenue for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 was partially offset by a decrease of $12.7 million in costs incurred by us in connection with a restructuring plan for a majority-owned subsidiary, net of associated income and recoveries.
Previous wording
Our product gross margin remained flat at 72% for each of the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, primarily due to the decrease in stock-based compensation as a percentage of product revenue, offset by costs attributable to newly launched product capabilities and features that have not yet reached economies of scale. We expect our product gross margin to fluctuate from period to period due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (i) fluctuations in the mix and timing of customers’ consumption, which is inherently variable at our customers’ discretion, (ii) our pricing model and discounting practices, (iii) the extent of our investments in new product capabilities, features, and operations, such as investments in AI Technology and performance improvements that may make our platform or the underlying cloud infrastructure more efficient, and (iv) stock-based compensation.
Current wording
Our product gross margin was 72% for each of the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, compared to 71% for each of the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, respectively.
