The organization’s Service Collection achieved a milestone by surpassing $1 billion in annual recurring revenue while expanding over 30% compared to the previous year. Remaining performance obligations climbed 37% year-over-year to reach $4.0 billion, or beyond 40% when accounting for data center revenue timing adjustments. Atlassian elevated its full-year revenue growth forecast to 24%, an increase from the 22% projection provided in the previous quarter. The company also enhanced its cloud and data center revenue expectations, alongside improved adjusted gross and operating margin guidance. Chief Executive Officer Mike Cannon-Brookes attributed the strong performance to customers committing to larger, extended agreements on Atlassian’s AI-powered platform. Free cash flow fell short of analyst expectations by 31%, primarily attributed to $94 million in restructuring-related payments during the quarter. An additional $76 million in such payments is projected for the fourth quarter. During March, the organization revealed plans to eliminate approximately 1,600 positions — representing roughly 10% of its total employee base. Cannon-Brookes explained the workforce reduction was designed to “self-fund further investment in AI and enterprise sales.” Savings from the restructuring initiative are projected to contribute approximately five percentage points to fourth-quarter operating margin. Gross margin improved thanks to cloud infrastructure optimization efforts, exceeding consensus projections by one percentage point and maintaining the 84% level. Cantor Fitzgerald elevated its price objective to $107 from $98, keeping an Overweight rating, highlighting cloud revenue momentum and data center results. BofA Securities increased its target to $100, while BMO Capital advanced to $105 with an Outperform designation. UBS modestly reduced its target to $95 but recognized that cloud revenue expansion exceeded both company guidance and the firm’s own projections. KeyBanc maintained its Overweight recommendation with a $130 price objective, emphasizing revenue acceleration as an encouraging development. Data center performance benefits in the quarter were partially influenced by timing factors, as clients accelerated purchases in advance of an end-of-life declaration and a scheduled March price adjustment.
