Business evolution and platform strategy

• Transitioned from basic file sharing to advanced enterprise content management with a focus on security and workflow automation.

• Leveraged AI to unlock value from unstructured content, introducing features like Box Extract and Box Automate.

• Enterprise Advanced suite enables end-to-end solutions for repeatable, content-centric workflows such as contract lifecycle and client onboarding.

• AI capabilities are integrated across all tiers, not just as a premium add-on, enhancing usability and upsell opportunities.

• Partnerships with system integrators and hyperscalers like AWS are key to expanding reach and driving platform growth.

Financial performance and growth outlook

• Achieved double-digit growth with Enterprise Advanced now representing 10% of revenue, expected to reach 20% by year-end.

• Platform consumption revenue is 6% today, guided to reach 10% in 3–5 years, driven by AI unit consumption.

• Seat growth and price per seat are accelerating, with international markets like EMEA seen as areas for further penetration.

• Net retention is improving, mainly due to seat expansion and pricing uplifts within the existing customer base.

• Majority of free cash flow will continue to be used for share repurchases, with steady reduction in shares outstanding expected.

AI adoption, customer trends, and competitive differentiation

• Customers are reallocating budgets from manual processes and outside services to fund AI initiatives.

• AI is seen as enhancing productivity rather than reducing knowledge worker roles, with agentic consumption and seat growth occurring together.

• Box’s open platform and model-agnostic approach help customers avoid model lock-in and optimize token spend.

• Customers are increasingly mindful of token efficiency and ROI, with Box supporting intelligent model selection.

• Legacy displacement is accelerating as enterprises seek unified, AI-accessible content platforms, with system integrators playing a critical role.
