SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI control tower for business reinvention, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, with subscription revenues of $3,466 million in Q4 2025, representing 21% year-over-year growth and 19.5% in constant currency.
“ServiceNow significantly beat Q4 expectations, accelerated net new business, and issued exceptional guidance for 2026,” said ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott. “We had substantial growth in licensed users, workflows, and transactions on our platform. With our consistent Rule of 55+ profile, there is no AI company in the enterprise better positioned for sustainable profitable revenue growth than ServiceNow. We are building the AI control tower for business reinvention so enterprises can operate securely in an agentic AI world.”
As of December 31, 2025, current remaining performance obligations (“cRPO”), contract revenue that will be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, was $12.85 billion, representing 25% year-over-year growth and 21% in constant currency. The company had 244 transactions over $1 million in net new annual contract value (“ACV”) in Q4 2025, representing nearly 40% year-over-year growth, and ended the quarter with 603 customers with more than $5 million in ACV, representing approximately 20% year-over-year growth.
“Q4 was another strong quarter, concluding a remarkable year of AI innovation, with emerging products like Now Assist, Workflow Data Fabric, Raptor, and CPQ all outperforming,” said ServiceNow President and CFO Gina Mastantuono. “Our recent strategic acquisitions create enormous new market opportunities and solidify our ability to put AI to work securely across every corner of the enterprise. Make no mistake, our strategy, complete with a disciplined focus on margin expansion, remains unchanged. But the ambition is higher, and our confidence in sustained high organic growth has never been greater.”

Financial Outlook
Our guidance includes GAAP and non‑GAAP financial measures. The non‑GAAP growth rates for subscription revenues are adjusted for constant currency by excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts, and the non-GAAP growth rates for cRPO are adjusted only for constant currency to provide better visibility into the underlying business trends.
Our Q1 2026 subscription revenue growth guidance includes an approximately 150bps headwind from a mix shift of self‑hosted revenue to hosted revenue, partially driven by strong adoption of our hyperscaler offerings.
Our Q1 2026 subscription revenue growth, Q1 2026 cRPO growth, and full-year 2026 subscription revenue growth guidance each include approximately 100bps of contribution from Moveworks.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use the following non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
- Revenues. We adjust revenues and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts that are reported in the current and comparative period. To exclude the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars (“USD”) are converted into USD at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period (for Q4 2024, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.94 Euros and 1 USD to 0.78 British Pound Sterling (“GBP”)), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q4 2025, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.86 Euros and 1 USD to 0.75 GBP). Guidance for related growth rates is derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period, rather than the exchange rates for the guidance period, adjusted for any foreign currency hedging effects. We believe the presentation of revenues and related growth rates adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison of revenues year-over-year.
- Remaining performance obligations and current remaining performance obligations. We adjust cRPO and remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the comparison period (for Q4 2024, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.96 Euros and 1 USD to 0.80 GBP), rather than the actual end of the period exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q4 2025, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.85 Euros and 1 USD to 0.74 GBP). Guidance for the related growth rate is derived by applying the end of period exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the exchange rates in effect during the guidance period. We believe the presentation of cRPO and RPO and related growth rates adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison of cRPO and RPO year-over-year, respectively.
- Gross profit, Income from operations, Net income and Net income per share - diluted. Our non-GAAP presentation of gross profit, income from operations, and net income measures exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring items, including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangibles, legal settlements, impairment of assets, severance costs, contract termination costs, business combination and other related costs including compensation expense, and income tax effects and adjustments. We believe these adjustments provide useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.
- Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities plus cash outflows for legal settlements and business combination and other related costs including compensation expense, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of total revenues. We believe information regarding free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our business operations.
Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please see the tables included at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results for gross profit, income from operations, net income, net income per share, and free cash flow.
