Women and gents, please stay holding whereas I reconnect the talking line. Everybody, please stay holding the decision, resuming momentarily.
Jimmy Sexton — Head of Investor Relations
Welcome again. I might now wish to cross the decision again over to Sridhar.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
Thanks, Jimmy, and hello, everybody. Thanks for becoming a member of us right this moment. As you have seen by now, we had a powerful third quarter, outperforming expectations and growing our fiscal 2025 product income information. Increasingly, it’s clear that our prospects imagine Snowflake is the best and most value efficient enterprise information platform on the market.
Our prospects are getting super worth from us with lots of them going all-in on Snowflake. Our product growth engine continues to speed up as we launched the identical variety of Tier 1 options to basic availability in Q3 as we did in all of fiscal 2024. Our AI function household, Snowflake Cortex, is displaying vital adoption. And we improved our go-to-market movement throughout the board, and it is having a huge effect on new product adoption.
We’re firing on all cylinders. The credit score goes to your complete Snowflake workforce, and I am very inspired by our progress displaying up so nicely within the numbers. Product income for the quarter was $900 million, up a powerful 29% yr on yr. Remaining efficiency obligations totaled $5.7 billion with year-over-year development accelerating to 55%.
Given the sturdy quarter, we’re once more growing our product income outlook for the yr. Within the quarter, non-GAAP working margin improved to six%. Having pushed sturdy features in product pace and income development in Q3, we initiated an much more rigorous strategy to value administration. We have been creating centralized and extra environment friendly groups for some areas and eradicating redundant administration layers, which permits us to make selections quicker.
And we’re deploying AI to drive increased velocity whereas decreasing total prices. We additionally eradicated plenty of efforts that have been underperforming and never aligned with our prime targets as an organization. I am notably happy with the workforce for driving effectivity all through our enterprise. This operational rigor is now a lifestyle for us, enabling us to enhance profitability whereas aggressively investing in our innovation and go-to-market engines.
Our obsessive drive to supply product cohesion and ease of use has constructed Snowflake into the best to make use of and most value efficient enterprise information platform. And that’s what is main us to win new emblem after new emblem, develop inside our buyer base, and displace our competitors time and again. Like within the quarter, when a world telecom large went all-in on Snowflake as their information basis, we’re serving to them course of community efficiency information from methods that carry a big quantity of the world’s cellular visitors to allow them to persistently ship superior community speeds and reliability to tens of millions of cellular customers worldwide. I personally spent numerous time connecting with our prospects world wide.
A lot of it passed off throughout our Snowflake world excursions, the place we welcomed a document 29,000 attendees throughout 24 in-person occasions. Within the cities we returned to, we noticed a outstanding 40% improve in attendance yr over yr, demonstrating the unimaginable momentum we’re seeing at a world scale. And metropolis after metropolis, we heard the identical three issues from our buyer, how a lot they permit our know-how, how straightforward it’s to make use of, and the way shortly they get actual worth and decrease complete value of possession. On the flip facet, we additionally persistently hear numerous suggestions that a few of our opponents’ know-how is very complicated and requires a ton of extremely costly engineering sources.
And with complexity comes danger. What’s one step in Snowflake is 10 on another platforms. That is 10 occasions extra possibilities to engineer a mistake. It is simply not that scalable.
And the enjoyment of Snowflake is that it really works proper out of the field. We’re serving to our prospects drive down prices. For instance, Snowpark is producing on information engineering one after one other. We have had a number of prospects saying that they’ve saved at the least 50% migrating to Snowflake from different suppliers.
And that is how our know-how sells itself and why Snowpark is on monitor to be roughly 3% of our income. Snowflake superpower is the power to simplify the implementation of all the favored enterprise information structure patterns that prospects need. It is what makes us the most effective enterprise-grade know-how for the warehouse, the lakehouse, and information mesh architectures. We give our prospects actual architectural alternative with out trade-offs on enterprise capabilities, and so they find it irresistible.
A type of discovery makes use of Snowflake unified information throughout their huge portfolio, together with streaming, gaming, information and studio divisions. This helps them ship customized leisure suggestions to tens of millions of viewers. And international lodge chain, Hyatt, is utilizing Snowflake to higher perceive company’ preferences throughout their properties, serving to craft a extra customized keep for company all through their journey journey. And we’re accelerating throughout the enterprise.
As I stated, our foot’s on the gasoline on the subject of product innovation. Simply final week, we held our BUILD developer summit for greater than 10,000 attendees worldwide. We made some key bulletins in our core enterprise, like the overall availability of Unistore and inside market and cutting-edge improvements like Snowflake Intelligence, a platform to create information brokers. Our AI adoption continues to be sturdy.
As of the tip of Q3, we’ve got over a thousand deployed use instances, which you’ll consider as particular person initiatives we handle with our prospects of our AI and ML merchandise in manufacturing deployments. Greater than 3,200 accounts at the moment are utilizing our AI and ML options. Equally thrilling is the momentum that our newest engineering options are seeing. Our push into interoperability and remodeling information that beforehand wouldn’t have been addressed by Snowflake is proving to be a key differentiator with our prospects.
These options at the moment are north of a $200 million run price as of the tip of Q3. We’re additionally partnering with Microsoft and ServiceNow to extend information interoperability, making it simpler for our prospects to convey information out and in of Snowflake to construct and run functions quicker. As we launch new merchandise like Unistore, Snowflake Open Catalog, and others, if we’re fine-tuning a go-to-market movement that brings collectively engineering, product, advertising, and gross sales to quickly launch, take a look at, iterate, and scale merchandise. It’s giving us a scalable option to broaden our footprint with our prospects and likewise purchase new ones.
Our product innovation is fueling alignment with our cloud infrastructure companions. By way of our collaboration with AWS, we’ve got booked over $3.9 billion over the previous 4 quarters, a rise of 68% versus the previous 4 quarters. our ends in Q3, I can let you know that these shifts are working and enabling us to drive multi-product adoption and additional strengthen our place available in the market. Lastly, I need to discuss concerning the tectonic shifts taking place on the earth of information.
We’re seeing huge adoption of open information codecs, particularly actually open codecs like Apache Iceberg. We’re justifiably happy with our assist for and our investments in Iceberg beneath Snowflake Open Catalog based mostly on Apache Polaris that’s seeing fast adoption with builders and enterprises. Equally, it’s clear that AI goes to vary how folks devour information. Not solely is AI going to make structured and unstructured information extra interchangeable, it is usually going to closely affect areas like enterprise intelligence.
With our unmatched product functionality, ease-of-use, architectural flexibility, complete governance, and prescient bets in Iceberg, Polaris, Cortex, and lots of others, we’re well-positioned to be the information platform of alternative for enterprises over the following decade. Our meant acquisition of Datavolo strengthens our basis to ship an extensible and versatile connectivity platform for unstructured, in addition to structured information. It accelerates our potential to herald and vastly simplify information engineering workloads for our prospects. On the consumption facet, the GA of Snowflake Notebooks, in addition to the success and adoption of merchandise like Cortex AI, place us nicely to make the most of the brand new capabilities that AI will allow us to create.
As you have in all probability seen, we simply introduced a partnership with Anthropic to convey their strongest fashions to our prospects by Snowflake Cortex AI. This provides enterprises the selection to construct cutting-edge AI functions utilizing the mannequin of their alternative with the benefit, built-in safety, and governance of the Snowflake platform. The associated fee effectivity, flexibility, and extensibility we ship are why iconic manufacturers like Accor, Chipotle, Comcast, Hyatt, Kraft Heinz, NBC Common, Sanofi, Toyota, and hundreds extra are betting their enterprise on Snowflake. As we transfer ahead, we’ve got an enormous alternative to proceed to develop with AI all through the information journey continues.
This is not simply our product imaginative and prescient should you ask from a few of our most vital prospects. They see the benefit of use and high quality and financial savings we offer right this moment and needed to develop additional to allow them to cut back much more value by Snowflake dealing with increasingly more of their information journey. We see a day once we can energy the end-to-end information life cycle for our prospects, and that is our North Star. We come at this from a place of energy that we are going to proceed to leverage.
Our core long-term differentiation of an easy-to-use, easy, environment friendly, built-in product with complete governance, cross-cloud consistency, and collaboration will proceed to set us aside. That is thrilling, and I stay up for sharing increasingly more of our progress alongside the way in which. With that, Mike, I am going to flip it over to you.
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
Thanks, Sridhar. Q3 was 1 / 4 of sturdy execution throughout income, bookings, and margins, development in our core enterprise outperformed. Web income retention charges stabilized at 127%. New product initiatives are starting to contribute to development.
As Sridhar talked about, Snowpark is nicely on monitor to signify 3% of product income and rising properly. With roughly 500 accounts adopting Iceberg and storage remaining 11% of our consumption, we’ve got seen minimal headwinds from prospects shifting to Iceberg. We imagine our contribution from information engineering options like Snowpark, dynamic tables, connectors, and Snowpipe Streaming will greater than offset the potential lack of storage income. Bookings have been sturdy within the quarter, and we’re seeing massive deal quantity improve.
We signed three $50 million-plus complete contract worth offers, and we count on this momentum to proceed in This fall. We had 18 International 2000 prospects within the quarter. Turning to margins for Q3. Non-GAAP product gross margin of 76% stabilized sequentially.
Non-GAAP working margin of 6% exceeded our steering, benefiting from income outperformance, efficiencies in R&D, and bills associated to our new Bay Space workplace house being pushed to This fall. Our non-GAAP adjusted free money circulate margin was 9%, pushed by sturdy bookings. We proceed to see roughly 80% of our prospects paying us yearly prematurely. In Q3, we issued $1.15 billion and 0% convertible senior notes due in 2027 and $1.15 billion and 0% convertible senior notes due in 2029.
Proceeds from the providing have been used to pay for the capped calls and concurrent share repurchase. We count on to make use of the remaining proceeds to fund inventory repurchases and potential acquisitions and for basic company functions. 12 months up to now, we’ve got used $1.9 billion to repurchase 14.8 million shares at a weighted common worth per share of $130.87. We’ve got $2 billion remaining on our authorization by March 2027.
Our share depend steering doesn’t embrace the affect from potential upcoming inventory repurchases. We ended the quarter with $5 billion in money, money equivalents, short-term, and long-term investments. Now, let’s flip to steering. For the fourth quarter, we count on product income between $906 million and $911 million, representing 23% year-over-year development.
We’re growing our FY ’25 product income steering. We now count on full yr product income of roughly $3.43 billion, representing 29% year-over-year development. This contains contributions from our newer product options and product effectivity headwinds. We view product efficiencies as a standard a part of our enterprise so we is not going to be breaking out these assumptions going ahead.
Turning to margins. In FY ’25, we’re growing our non-GAAP product gross margin steering to 76%, our non-GAAP working margin steering to five%. We count on roughly 26% non-GAAP adjusted free money circulate margin for the yr. As Sridhar talked about, we’ve got gone by a rigorous technique of evaluating our value construction.
We imagine we will make investments aggressively to handle the massive alternative in entrance of us whereas additionally being extra environment friendly. Our innovation and revenue-driving capabilities are being resourced to drive sturdy development whereas additionally enabling us to indicate working leverage for years to come back. With that, operator, we are going to now open up the road for questions.
Operator
[Operator instructions] The primary query is from the road of Mark Murphy with JPMorgan. Your line is now open.
Mark Murphy — Analyst
Hello. Thanks. Mike, it is spectacular to see the energy right here concurrently in each the consumption income and the bookings, particularly given the prioritization of consumption incentives this yr. I am curious to what you would possibly attribute that and particularly whether or not Iceberg tables may need contributed all or whether or not Snowpark may need picked up in any significant manner.
After which, I’ve a fast follow-up.
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
I might say we’re beginning to see the optimistic advantage of Iceberg with plenty of prospects that at the moment are bringing new workloads that at the moment are being addressed by Snowflake and Iceberg tables. However I might simply say, it is broad-based demand throughout our prospects. Yeah, there’s a couple of verticals that have been very sturdy, know-how, monetary companies, and healthcare, but it surely’s actually broad-based. And we’re seeing the uptick, as Sridhar was mentioning, numerous the information engineering stuff, as nicely, too.
And Snowpark is a part of that.
Mark Murphy — Analyst
Nice to listen to. And, Sridhar, I imagine you had talked about displacing the petition time and again, and that stood out to me. I am curious should you noticed a rise in these aggressive displacements throughout Q3 and what you suppose may be triggering it. As a result of we at all times hear the information sharing is unparalleled, however you had launched a slew of AI-related merchandise.
And I am additionally questioning should you suppose that that may be swaying a few of these aggressive accounts over.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
At one degree, the merchandise that we’re releasing that we launch makes everyone really feel nice about type of the way forward for the platform, what they’ll do with it, each right this moment and likewise tomorrow. The sort of issues that individuals are already getting performed with Cortex AI Search and Analyst is already fairly spectacular. However on the subject of the displacement, I might say that if the core features of the product, which is the benefit of use, the quicker time to worth, the — like the shortage of needing a really massive workforce to arrange deployments and keep them as we go alongside, these are the issues that contribute most to folks then, you already know, like attempting one thing and coming again to Snowflake and going, this can be a a lot better option to make progress with information. And that is the rationale why we obsessed about ensuring Cortex, for instance, is built-in very tightly with every little thing else.
You construct a chatbot on Snowflake. It’s routinely going to obey the entire permissions on the information that’s beneath. And that is the magic of Snowflake. Christian, any further ideas?
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product
The governance continues to be an essential area, and we proceed — area and proceed to take a position on safety, privateness, and compliance along with every little thing Sridhar talked about.
Mark Murphy — Analyst
Thanks very a lot, and congrats.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
Thanks, Mark.

Thanks in your query. Subsequent query is from the road of Keith Weiss with Morgan Stanley. Your line is now open.
Keith Weiss — Analyst
Wonderful. Thanks guys for taking the query, and congratulations on a very strong quarter. Mike, a query for you simply when it comes to just like the energy within the quarter. Out of your commentary, issues just like the core enterprise, just like the core information warehousing enterprise was actually the standout within the quarter, and that is firming up and the NRR firming up.
However I hoped should you might give us some sort of visibility into the ramp that you simply’re seeing with the brand new AI merchandise like Cortex. And the way does that evaluate to what you noticed with Snowpark if we take into consideration them in the identical time of their evolution? So, that is a top-line query. After which, additionally, a bottom-line query for you. Final quarter, we talked about type of accelerating investments notably in distribution.
It appears like that is being considerably offset by with the ability to discover type of redundancies or headcount reductions as a result of we did not actually see it within the headcount quantity, and that addition was comparatively modest. So, it looks like you guys have been capable of sort of drive funding, but additionally discover type of like nets to take out of headcount. Is that the fitting manner to consider it?
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
Yeah. So, in your first query, after I discuss concerning the core enterprise, the core enterprise is information warehousing with information engineering. What we’re speaking about is the newer information engineering options that Sridhar was speaking about. However there’s numerous information engineering that is performed in Snowflake, and that was very sturdy as nicely.
We’re seeing the uptick in new merchandise. I might say Cortex is beginning to take off. It is nonetheless very a lot within the early innings, and we’re very optimistic of what that is going to do sooner or later based mostly upon what we’re seeing. And Snowpark continues to trace as anticipated.
It is going to be 3% of our income for the yr and rising very properly yr over yr. By way of the efficiencies, we have gone by performed numerous efficiency administration, particularly within the gross sales group. They have been hiring, and there is going to be numerous hiring within the gross sales group this quarter they’re doing. And we actually regarded throughout the corporate at combining groups collectively the place attainable.
And we’re not changing backfills as shortly due to that. And that is why we’re seeing the working financial savings that we’re doing. There isn’t a mass riff or something like that. Do not take into consideration that.
We’re not doing that. It is regular efficiency administration and actually being considerate of the place we put folks.
Keith Weiss — Analyst
Obtained it. That is tremendous useful. Thanks.
Operator
Thanks. Subsequent query is from the road of Kash Rangan with Goldman Sachs. Your line is now open.
Kash Rangan — Analyst
Hello. Thanks very a lot. One for you, Sridhar, and one for Mike. Sridhar, there’s a narrative, which you’ll positively dispute that the core of the Snowflake information platform, that structured information does probably not have a protracted runway on the earth of generative AI and that additionally Snowflake has loads to show with respect to generative AI on the unstructured information.
What proof factors are you able to discuss to the quarter that might invalidate that bearish view and reinforce your conviction. And one for you, Mike. With the headwinds from storage not being as a lot as was dialed in, ought to we safely assume that you simply’re guiding to product income, 29% for the yr, or take away 3 factors for Snowpark container companies, that the core is definitely at some extent the place you possibly can see it’s secure going to subsequent yr. I do know you are not giving steering, and if we will begin to consider doing the dream of all the brand new merchandise to be largely incremental to that development, proper? Thanks a lot, and congratulations.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
Thanks, Kash. On the, you already know, core enterprise facet, analytics, you already know, nonetheless goes to be fairly essential, getting a very powerful information about your small business, however more and more with the ability to act on it shortly in actual time, is the factor that’s going to set nice firms aside. In the event you take a look at the most effective firms which have been created up to now like two, two and a half many years, these are firms which have built-in information into the core of how they’re working. And after I discuss to prospects, not simply concerning the analytics, the view of unpolluted information, but additionally about with the ability to act on it, with the ability to see tendencies, with the ability to.
you already know, determine issues like visitor experiences like our prospects, Hyatt and Disney, do at scale. So, there is a very lengthy runway as a result of analytics flows over seamlessly and fluidly into issues like machine studying. And AI then turns into much more of an accelerant as a result of now you can go from unstructured information to structured information very, very simply. And that is the magic of merchandise like Cortex AI.
And the brand new issues that we introduced in BUILD, the place you possibly can convey multimodal fashions. Think about a world wherein you simply write a SQL assertion that goes to behave on a PDF and produces a bunch of structured info out on the opposite facet. It redefines what you and I consider as analytics as a result of simply much more could be performed. And so, that is the world that we’re driving towards, and that is the place investments in firms, like Datavolo, that convey much more information into Snowflake is, you already know, thrilling and empowering for us as an information platform.
After which, on the opposite facet, on the subject of unstructured information or simply AI functions, as I stated in my remarks, we’ve got over a thousand deployed use instances. And in all of them, these will not be tie deployments. We work with our prospects. We ensure that they get worth from it.
That is the very first thing that I inform all our prospects. AI must be a enterprise accelerant. It isn’t a pastime. And the merchandise that we’ve got created, which do issues like take trustability, the work that we’re doing with the TruEra acquisition, for instance, that brings observability to how folks create AI functions, are those which might be creating rock-solid functions and the place more and more, the distinction between structured and unstructured goes to be much less and fewer significant as we go ahead.
After which, when it comes to examples, there are a ton of them, Siemens, Bayer, these are all of us — Zoom, these are all of us which have used our AI product, acquired immense worth, and talked publicly about them. So, I really feel superb about the place we’re executing on that facet.
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
And, Kash, in your query on the soundness of the enterprise. As I stated, the core enterprise could be very secure and powerful. You realize, we simply had an excellent quarter, however extra importantly, our NRR has remained at 127% the final two quarters. We’re guiding to 23%.
I do need to remind you, This fall has essentially the most variety of holidays in it, and there’s some seasonality that we skilled throughout that time period. However our enterprise could be very sturdy, and I really feel actually good about subsequent yr proper now the place we’re sitting. And why I say that’s as a result of we have actually constructed muscle in our gross sales group this yr for actually figuring out new workloads that prospects are going to maneuver into manufacturing subsequent yr. And we’ve got an excellent backlog of these issues that our salespeople are calling for subsequent yr, together with This fall as nicely.
Kash Rangan — Analyst
Nice to see this turnaround. Thanks a lot. Congrats.
Operator
Thanks in your query. Subsequent query is from the road of Raimo Lenschow with Barclays. Your line is now open.
Raimo Lenschow — Analyst
Hey. Thanks. Sridhar, are you able to discuss a little bit bit concerning the acquisition from right this moment? Like, you already know, traditionally, you at all times stated you needed to do some ETL, however there’s clearly fairly a couple of ETL gamers available in the market. How do you see that evolving between what do you need to do? What do the opposite gamers need to do? And what does it convey to Snowflake? After which I’ve a follow-up for Mike.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
I imply, initially, these are all very, very, very massive areas. The general imaginative and prescient, particularly with the Period interoperable information that is upon us is we predict that there’s a very massive alternative for Snowflake to assist our prospects act on all of their information, not simply the gold information that they used to place into Snowflake for analytics. Anecdotal, however the sort of examples that I get from speaking to our prospects is that they have lots of, typically thousand occasions as a lot information sitting in cloud storage as they are going to do in a structured information platform. And increasingly more, additionally they really feel like it will be significant that they personal that information.
And so, you are seeing a shift wherein issues like utility information is getting de-siloed, deconstructed in order that, you already know, nice new issues imaginable, each for information transformation, information engineering, but additionally AI goes to occur. And that is the context wherein one thing like a Datavolo is actually essential for us. It comes with over 100 totally different connectors out of the field. It will run as a part of Snowflake.
It can be deployed in buyer VPCs, which lets us convey information in from locations the place usually we’d not be capable to run Snowflake on. And so. it is actually a primary multiplier for the information that our information engineering pipelines can tackle however our AI merchandise could be constructed on. However as I stated, this can be a very, very massive house, estimated, you already know, simply information engineering — information merchandise as a complete, we predict will likely be on the order of a number of hundred billion {dollars} 10 years from now.
And so, there’s going to be numerous firm. Our worth add is that this straightforward built-in, extremely environment friendly platform that we will convey for our prospects. And issues like Datavolo are an essential piece right here. Christian?
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product
I believe you commented nicely. And, after all, we’ve got loads of companions additionally doing information integration. And the fact is there’s so many sources of information. An enormous space of focus of Datavolo was the unstructured information that Sridhar talked about.
Raimo Lenschow — Analyst
OK. Excellent. After which, Mike, should you take a look at this quarter, a lot better efficiency. Congrats from me as nicely.
And if you concentrate on the query that everybody goes to ask is like, is it financial system, or are you guys executing higher? Is there any feedback you can also make when it comes to what you are seeing within the discipline from simply finish demand getting higher?
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
I might say from the financial system, it is similar to what I stated final quarter, it isn’t This fall, but it surely’s good. It isn’t dangerous. And I believe we’re simply executing very nicely. And we’re actually seeing the outcomes of our go-to-market efforts that we have had this yr and actually working to determine new workloads reasonably than simply attempting to deal with bookings.
And I believe that is paying off proper now, and it is forcing our salespeople to be nearer to prospects.
Raimo Lenschow — Analyst
OK, good. Make sense. Thanks. Congrats.
Operator
Thanks in your query. The subsequent query is from the road of Kirk Materne with Evercore ISI. Your line is now open.
Kirk Materne — Analyst
Yeah, thanks very a lot. I am going to echo the congrats on a pleasant quarter. Sridhar, clearly, we’ll hear much more about autonomous brokers over the following yr from numerous suppliers available in the market. Are you able to simply discuss what meaning for consumption on Snowflake information platforms, which means it will appear that brokers are going to be heavy shoppers of information.
Simply sort of interested in how you concentrate on that chance as this turns into a little bit bit extra of a ubiquitous type of subject.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
It’s a good query, however, you already know, I at all times deal with buyer worth. It is vital as a result of that can drive consumption. And so, with the merchandise that we’ve got launched like Cortex Search, for instance, you possibly can construct a fairly credible chatbot and play with it and use it at low frequency for one thing like $10. So, it is our purpose to make know-how straightforward.
Consumption is a consequence when there’s a broad use. Having stated that, our AI investments have at all times had a really sturdy deal with trustworthiness on reliability. In actual fact, the three issues that I at all times discuss after I discuss to our prospects or our groups about AI is — our AI is straightforward, it’s environment friendly, and it’s trusted. So, that is what lets our prospects create chatbots that may present citations to allow them to make certain of the solutions that they get.
Equally, with Cortex Analyst, we have been engaged on growing the reliability in order that after they get a structured reply to a query, they’ll truly ensure that it is the fitting reply. The cool factor about Snowflake Intelligence, particularly together with our partnership with Anthropic, is it’s now the — it now offers the power to tie all of this stuff collectively. So, in case you are a salesman, as an alternative of looking out first in drive to see, hey, what motion gadgets did you conform to after the final assembly, after which, maybe, going to Snowflake to search out what our consumption tendencies with a specific buyer after which possibly updating Salesforce, we stay up for a world wherein actions like this may be performed off a single interface. And a pure consequence then is how do you flip this right into a periodic job, one thing that’s performed in your behalf within the background in order that it might let you know if there’s a drawback.
That is the place issues like anomaly detection, taking automated actions turns into fairly fascinating. However like we offer know-how with a view towards what creates worth, we really feel very assured that you can imagine brokers as primarily the twenty first century model of CRON jobs that all of us used to run. That is the actual energy that brokers present with much more sophistication, and it is enabling worth for our prospects that we predict we could be embedded much more deeply of their enterprise. And completely, that may even drive numerous consumption.
A number of our AI consumption, by the way in which, comes from issues like folks with the ability to write a single SQL assertion that may do sentiment detection or that may do summarization throughout one million items of buyer suggestions. Beforehand, that was like a little bit machine studying venture {that a} workforce wanted to do. At this level, that is a chunk of SQL that somebody out of faculty can write in 5 minutes. That is the utility that we get from it.
And it is the identical sample with brokers as nicely.
Kirk Materne — Analyst
That is actually useful. And, Mike, only a actually fast one. Worldwide is clearly an enormous alternative for you. How do you’re feeling such as you’re positioned in type of Europe and Asia Pac as you head into ’25? Thanks once more.
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
I believe we’re positioned very nicely going into Europe. We have actually been targeted on the upper finish of the market, and we’re going to focus extra on the mid-market in Europe, and APJ continues to develop very properly. We’re seeing sturdy development in Japan, particularly. We’re beginning to see stuff in India, Korea.
Australia has at all times performed very nicely for us. And New Zealand, imagine it or not, is an excellent marketplace for — it is a small market however a really sturdy marketplace for us.

Enjoyable reality, we energy many of the authorities businesses in New Zealand, and so they do far more sharing of information between one another than most of our U.S. authorities businesses do.
Kirk Materne — Analyst
Thanks all.
Operator
Thanks in your query. Subsequent query is from the road of Brad Zelnick with Deutsche Financial institution. Your line is now open.
Brad Zelnick — Analyst
Nice. Thanks a lot. Congrats. Actually, actually nice to see the tempo of innovation displaying up in outcomes.
I needed to ask, how are prospects utilizing Cortex and making it accessible of their organizations and the way a lot of it ought to we consider as driving incremental consumption, versus one thing possibly they have been already doing with typical SQL queries?
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
I believe the — usually, the sort of use instances that Cortex AI permits are fairly distinct from what was attainable with SQL. I am going to let CK chime in, in a second. However let’s face it, should you needed to undergo the entire notes written by a gross sales workforce on use instances and analyze it, more often than not, the venture would not even occur. Lately, this can be a self-referential instance of us utilizing our personal merchandise.
One of many issues that we needed to do was we needed higher perception into use instances that our gross sales workforce had created, however the concept of clicking by a UI and 50,000 totally different use instances to determine what was occurring is just not one thing you possibly can usually discover volunteers for. However it seems, you possibly can write a couple of queries that may, in reality, that may do a fairly wonderful job of inserting structured info from all of those notes which might be on the market. And we have been capable of do one thing that truthfully would by no means have gotten performed as a venture earlier than. It is these sorts of issues that I believe, you already know, the Cortex household of merchandise will allow.
However once more, we deal with worth creation, what is the further worth that the shopper will get that we get.
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product
Yeah. I believe lots of the use instances or situations that Sridhar lined are round textual content analytics, which could be very adjoining to what we have been for a very long time. However as we introduced and construct, we have expanded past textual content to assist pictures, audio, and video. So, that is one a part of it’s analytics.
The opposite piece that we’re seeing numerous momentum and curiosity is with Cortex Search and Cortex Analyst, which is how will we democratize entry to information. And that’s going fairly nicely.
Brad Zelnick — Analyst
Thrilling stuff. Mike, simply possibly a follow-up for you. Based mostly in your feedback on Iceberg, are you baking in much less headwind for the yr into the information? After which, what is the newest on how prospects are eager about the combination of the place information will stay? Thank a lot.
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
As I stated, I am not going to be speaking about totally different efficiency enhancements going ahead. It is factored into the information with the place we see them. However as I’ve talked about in my ready remarks, we predict with what we’re seeing with a number of the new information engineering options that that can greater than offset any potential storage income we lose because of folks shifting to — shifting information out of Snowflake. We predict net-net, it is simply going to open extra alternative for us and is a a lot larger alternative, the quantity of information that’s not in Snowflake right this moment that’s accessible to us by Iceberg.
Brad Zelnick — Analyst
Thanks for making that clear. Thanks for taking my questions.

Thanks in your query. Subsequent query is from the road of Brent Thill with Jefferies. Your line is now open.
Brent Thill — Analyst
Thanks. Sridhar, simply on federal, you talked about New Zealand powering lots of their businesses. How would you characterize the place you are at within the federal journey? And given what’s simply occurred within the final month, there’s been numerous concern about effectivity within the central authorities. Are you able to give us your ideas about what is going on to occur right here over the following couple of years?
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
Yeah. We just lately did a small acquisition of an organization known as Night time Shift, which can higher place us within the federal enterprise. We proceed to think about it as a fairly large alternative for us. And I might even say that effectivity is definitely excellent news for Snowflake within the sense that we’re manner higher at processing large quantities of information and letting prospects, together with the federal authorities, use it successfully.
I haven’t got much more colour so as to add proper now, but it surely continues to be a spotlight. We spend numerous time in ensuring that that enterprise grows. We have gotten plenty of certifications, as you already know, like conditions. We be ok with the place we’re.
Keep tuned for extra information.
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
I am going to simply add to that. As you already know, the U.S. federal house is a really, very, very small piece of our enterprise right this moment. We be ok with what we’re doing.
And we predict there’s numerous upside within the federal house over the following couple of years.
Brent Thill — Analyst
Thank, Mike. And only for you, Mike, on the massive offers, you talked about, you already know, three offers over 50. I believe you are arising in comp in a $250 million deal final This fall. Are you able to simply discuss, you already know, what you are seeing in these larger transactions? Are you seeing, you already know, extra transactions which might be smaller? Are you seeing a few of these larger elephants beginning to roam once more? How would you characterize what you are seeing within the pipe for This fall?
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
I believe This fall goes to be a really sturdy bookings quarter prefer it usually is. And we’ve got plenty of massive offers we’re engaged on which might be renewals with current prospects with development in them.

Matt Calitri — Needham and Firm — Analyst
Thank, guys. That is Matt Calitri on for Mike Cikos over at Needham. That is the healthiest quarter-over-quarter addition to RPO and CRPO throughout an October quarter, stretching again over a number of years and doubtlessly a document 3Q for the corporate. Are you able to assist us take into consideration what drove the sturdy development? And did the 2 prime 10 prospects Mike alluded to being on month-to-month commitments final quarter signed new commitments in the course of the quarter?
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
We did not have large commitments from these prospects within the quarter. And what I might say is numerous the present RPO development, particularly, simply has to do with bigger prospects based mostly upon when their renewals are arising or after they’re working out of capability and renew. However it was a powerful development quarter complete RPO and present RPO, and you might be seeing that within the precise reported income quantity and what we’re guiding to for subsequent quarter.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
And total, a little bit little bit of colour, I find yourself speaking to numerous prospects that I’ll add right here is our conversations are invertibly targeted on the place are locations the place we may help them get extra environment friendly, the place we may help them drive, you already know, extra income. And the extra successfully our gross sales workforce is ready to do this, and so they did an exquisite job within the first two, three quarters of the yr, the extra it displays itself naturally in renewals. So, I might say that this can be a consequence of the exhausting work that our gross sales groups are doing day-in and day-out to additional the enterprise of our prospects.
Matt Calitri — Needham and Firm — Analyst
That is nice to listen to. After which, the pattern in sequential buyer additions stays combined. Given the go-to-market modifications, when do you count on to start to start out displaying an inflection right here? Is that extra of an FY ’26 occasion? Or how are you eager about that?
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
You realize, when it comes to web additions, I count on This fall to be web addition quarter. And I believe you will see the fruits of our labor with what we have performed this yr circulate into 2026.

Thanks in your query. Subsequent query is from the road of Michael Turrin with Wells Fargo. Your line is now open.
Michael Turrin — Analyst
Hello. Thanks very a lot. I admire you taking the questions. Perhaps on the enlargement charges holding secure right here.
I need to ask about that metric simply in context with the go-to-market shift towards consumption. And possibly you might simply assist give us some context round how that consumption focus could also be impacting the trajectory we’re seeing on enlargement charges, if there are frequent performs you are seeing work throughout prospects and should you’re beginning to hit some extent the place you feel comfy with that retention charges are beginning to hit a baseline.
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
You realize, I believe our — I am by no means going to information to income retention, by the way in which. However I do really feel it feels fairly secure based mostly upon what we’re seeing in there. And numerous that’s pushed by our core enterprise with the addition of a few of our older prospects beginning to use a few of these newer options as nicely, too. So, keep tuned.
That is not one thing we’ll information to.
Michael Turrin — Analyst
OK. That is nonetheless useful commentary. After which, only a follow-up on one of many feedback across the offsets to storage headwinds, I used to be simply hoping you might assist us suppose by the sequencing of these. Is that one thing that may instantly assist offset any storage headwinds tied to Iceberg? Or is that one thing that, over time, the shopper profile, the spend profile helps recommend for these issues? Is there only a sequence of occasions we should always all be conscious of there?
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
Yeah. As I stated, I am actually not seeing an enormous storage headwind because of Iceberg. And to the extent any of our prospects do transfer information off, it will likely be greater than offset by the expansion we’re seeing in information engineering, the newer information engineering options. And as I additionally stated, we’re beginning to see a optimistic affect of Iceberg with new workloads that have been by no means in Snowflake earlier than.
Now, prospects are utilizing Snowflake on open file Iceberg codecs.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
Yeah, I am going to stress one thing that I stated earlier, which is prospects sometimes have hundred to thousand occasions extra information sitting in cloud storage. And with the issues that we’ve got performed with the information engineering and even issues like Cortex AI, which you’ll consider as AI extensions to what you are able to do with SQL or with the brand new paradigms like dynamic tables is a really environment friendly option to run information pipelines and shortly to be mixed with issues like multimodal fashions, abruptly, you possibly can think about an information pipeline that’s video transcripts, producing textual content from it, doing sentiment detection off of it, all off of some SQL queries due to these open information estates which might be sitting there. These, once more, are use instances that somebody truthfully would merely not have conceived of in a pre-Iceberg, pre-AI sort of world. And that is the magic of Snowflake, which is to take all of those complicated applied sciences however put them right into a type that numerous folks can get worth from them.
And in order that’s the massive alternative reasonably than a itsy-bitsy tactical factor of some information inside Snowflake, maybe, shifting to an Iceberg format. I believe — you already know, I do not suppose it’s simply such an enormous deal.
Michael Turrin — Analyst
Yeah. Sounds nice. Thanks very a lot.
Operator
Thanks in your query. Subsequent query is from the road of Alex Zukin with Wolfe Analysis. Your line is now open.
Alex Zukin — Analyst
Hey, guys. So, possibly taking one other stab on the Iceberg query. I suppose, possibly, Sridhar, when it comes to what you are seeing with a number of the sort of first mover prospects which might be seeing a possibility with Snowflake to sort of assault a much wider information property, what are you seeing when it comes to that information quantity uplift sort of that put and take from storage to incremental companies that you simply have been capable of unlock?
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
As I used to be — you already know, as I used to be saying, I actually consider this as an enormous new alternative the place abruptly, numerous our prospects are realizing that with issues like our Iceberg assist, they’ll do issues with the Snowflake compute engine, even to run analytics, for instance, on historic information that’s sitting in information estates that merely wouldn’t have been attainable earlier than. And, you already know, these are the incremental use instances that we’re seeing that circulate into this class known as information sharing, which we gave you some colour on. And it is actually the mix then of like Iceberg, however then AI options or information pipelining options like dynamic tables that mixes to create new alternative for us. The rest so as to add, Christian?
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product
No. Perhaps what I might say is that the shopper sample is it is simpler to say I’ve information in Snowflake and it’s working nicely. Let me attempt to use Snowflake information that it is already sitting in cloud storage. And people are the use instances that we’re seeing prioritized first, and that is what we’re seeing a big improve month over month on quantity of information that’s being made accessible to Snowflake through Iceberg tables that results in further consumption and that’s going forward of any storage headwinds.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
Do you need to add a touch upon how Polaris is essential right here?
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product
That is additionally a brilliant fascinating pattern. At summit, we launched Polaris catalog. Since then, we donated it to the Apache Software program Basis. We let prospects host it themselves.
We even have a Snowflake hosted model, which is our Snowflake Open Catalog. And we’re seeing very, very sturdy curiosity from organizations the world over with the ability to depend on a really open-source catalog that makes increasingly more information accessible to Snowflake, but additionally whereas honoring the will and the promise of with the ability to interoperate with different engines.
Alex Zukin — Analyst
Excellent. After which, possibly only a follow-up, Mike, for you, are you able to possibly discuss by a number of the gross sales modifications, whether or not when it comes to efficiency administration, when it comes to ought to we be eager about any incremental conservatism as we take a look at our fashions for subsequent yr versus what appears to be an bettering funds backdrop spending setting doubtlessly going into subsequent yr with a few of your largest verticals like FinServ and Tech. Something we should always consider as we take a look at our fashions for subsequent yr?
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
I might simply say that our gross sales leaders have gone by and actually — you already know, sometimes salespeople at all times wait until the tip of the yr to do efficiency administration based mostly upon how they’ve carried out. And gross sales leaders now notice you are able to do efficiency administration all year long. And we began doing much more efficiency administration in Q3, and we have been backfilling these folks with the fitting skillsets of what we’re in search of. And I am not going to speak about conservatism or no matter we guided for the quarter.
And we really feel good and I be ok with what we’re seeing subsequent yr. The one factor I might remind you is when you’re constructing your fashions for subsequent yr, Q1, we don’t get pleasure from intercalary year that we had final yr, so there’s one much less day in it. That does have an effect on the year-over-year development charges if you’re constructing your fashions.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
And the opposite small further colour that I’ll add right here is that, you already know, our gross sales groups as a part of the consumption push have been evolving a complete new science round how do, you already know, you go from exercise to make use of instances, to make use of instances one to what’s in deployment. And that is half — that is the premise of issues just like the efficiency administration, and I’ve to simply give them monumental credit score for his or her potential to simply handle this course of much more rationally. And it is with the ability to try this. That even shines the sunshine on issues like what are best-in-class strategies for, you already know, driving the enterprise ahead.
And, you already know, a part of — you see that mirrored within the outcomes, and that is what makes me really feel optimistic about how the workforce is working. They’ve performed a very great job.
Alex Zukin — Analyst

Brad Sills — Analyst
Nice. Thanks a lot. Query for you, Sridhar. I could not assist however discover a number of the feedback you made on the energy you are seeing with AWS.
I might like to get an replace from you on sort of the place the incremental focus has been on with the massive hyperscaler companions in go-to market. It appears to be having an actual optimistic affect right here.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
That is proper. As you already know, we’ve got an ideal relationship with AWS, but additionally with Azure. We work collectively loads, and there is a superb relationship, you already know, on the exec degree but additionally on the discipline degree. It’s completely the case that, for instance, that AWS plus Snowflake is a superb answer, as is Azure plus Snowflake.
I might say, we’ve got some, let’s name it, like, you already know, shoots of grass on our relationships with GCP when it comes to what is feasible there. We’re working with that to make it occur. As I stated, all of that is within the context of an information platform trade that’s going to be increasing fairly massively over the ten years. So, everyone sees the chance.
However then, it is a query of lining up each single workforce inside multi-thousand individual firms to collaborate successfully. And you must positively count on to see extra of that.
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product
I might add that an space of frequent floor with the hyperscalers has been this collaboration round Apache Iceberg as successfully the usual option to signify information in order that we will interoperate.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
That is proper. I imply — and so they’re all very enthusiastic about getting behind Iceberg as is far of the trade as a result of the trade now realizes that this can be a true customary that’s managed by nobody. Not like earlier codecs that have been open in identify solely and managed by a single firm that would arbitrarily change its thoughts about what was open and what was closed, Iceberg is seen because the format. And, you already know, I dare say that Iceberg is the VHS, and the previous format are the Betamax of codecs.
And we’re very blissful to see this as a result of that is nice for our prospects, and it is nice for Snowflake.
Brad Sills — Analyst
That is nice to listen to. Thanks, Sridhar. After which, one for you, Mike, if I’d. You have stated up to now that the energy you are seeing this yr, you already know, signings of latest workloads and issues like Snowpark and Cortex are going to result in some consumption ramp heading into subsequent yr.
We might simply like to get an replace from you on the way you see that ramp heading into subsequent yr, simply given it sounds what you are seeing some actual optimistic momentum on the brand new product facet. Thanks.
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
Properly, I am not going to information for subsequent yr, however it’s beginning to be significant contributors to our income. The one factor we have known as out when it comes to {dollars} and we known as that at first of the yr, what we thought is Snowpark is nicely on monitor to be 3% of our income. However the newer issues, dynamic tables is actually beginning to take off, and that has an affect on consumption. I count on Notebooks goes to be a significant factor for us for the information science persona, which goes to result in extra consumption in Snowflake and every little thing we have talked about Cortex.
So, keep tuned for our This fall name once we’ll provide you with extra colour on what we’re seeing for subsequent yr with these new options particularly.
Brad Sills — Analyst
Nice. Thanks, Mike.

Women and gents, please stay holding whereas I reconnect the talking line. Everybody, please stay holding the decision, resuming momentarily.
Jimmy Sexton — Head of Investor Relations
Welcome again. I might now wish to cross the decision again over to Sridhar.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
Thanks, Jimmy, and hello, everybody. Thanks for becoming a member of us right this moment. As you have seen by now, we had a powerful third quarter, outperforming expectations and growing our fiscal 2025 product income information. Increasingly, it’s clear that our prospects imagine Snowflake is the best and most value efficient enterprise information platform on the market.
Our prospects are getting super worth from us with lots of them going all-in on Snowflake. Our product growth engine continues to speed up as we launched the identical variety of Tier 1 options to basic availability in Q3 as we did in all of fiscal 2024. Our AI function household, Snowflake Cortex, is displaying vital adoption. And we improved our go-to-market movement throughout the board, and it is having a huge effect on new product adoption.
We’re firing on all cylinders. The credit score goes to your complete Snowflake workforce, and I am very inspired by our progress displaying up so nicely within the numbers. Product income for the quarter was $900 million, up a powerful 29% yr on yr. Remaining efficiency obligations totaled $5.7 billion with year-over-year development accelerating to 55%.
Given the sturdy quarter, we’re once more growing our product income outlook for the yr. Within the quarter, non-GAAP working margin improved to six%. Having pushed sturdy features in product pace and income development in Q3, we initiated an much more rigorous strategy to value administration. We have been creating centralized and extra environment friendly groups for some areas and eradicating redundant administration layers, which permits us to make selections quicker.
And we’re deploying AI to drive increased velocity whereas decreasing total prices. We additionally eradicated plenty of efforts that have been underperforming and never aligned with our prime targets as an organization. I am notably happy with the workforce for driving effectivity all through our enterprise. This operational rigor is now a lifestyle for us, enabling us to enhance profitability whereas aggressively investing in our innovation and go-to-market engines.
Our obsessive drive to supply product cohesion and ease of use has constructed Snowflake into the best to make use of and most value efficient enterprise information platform. And that’s what is main us to win new emblem after new emblem, develop inside our buyer base, and displace our competitors time and again. Like within the quarter, when a world telecom large went all-in on Snowflake as their information basis, we’re serving to them course of community efficiency information from methods that carry a big quantity of the world’s cellular visitors to allow them to persistently ship superior community speeds and reliability to tens of millions of cellular customers worldwide. I personally spent numerous time connecting with our prospects world wide.
A lot of it passed off throughout our Snowflake world excursions, the place we welcomed a document 29,000 attendees throughout 24 in-person occasions. Within the cities we returned to, we noticed a outstanding 40% improve in attendance yr over yr, demonstrating the unimaginable momentum we’re seeing at a world scale. And metropolis after metropolis, we heard the identical three issues from our buyer, how a lot they permit our know-how, how straightforward it’s to make use of, and the way shortly they get actual worth and decrease complete value of possession. On the flip facet, we additionally persistently hear numerous suggestions that a few of our opponents’ know-how is very complicated and requires a ton of extremely costly engineering sources.
And with complexity comes danger. What’s one step in Snowflake is 10 on another platforms. That is 10 occasions extra possibilities to engineer a mistake. It is simply not that scalable.
And the enjoyment of Snowflake is that it really works proper out of the field. We’re serving to our prospects drive down prices. For instance, Snowpark is producing on information engineering one after one other. We have had a number of prospects saying that they’ve saved at the least 50% migrating to Snowflake from different suppliers.
And that is how our know-how sells itself and why Snowpark is on monitor to be roughly 3% of our income. Snowflake superpower is the power to simplify the implementation of all the favored enterprise information structure patterns that prospects need. It is what makes us the most effective enterprise-grade know-how for the warehouse, the lakehouse, and information mesh architectures. We give our prospects actual architectural alternative with out trade-offs on enterprise capabilities, and so they find it irresistible.
A type of discovery makes use of Snowflake unified information throughout their huge portfolio, together with streaming, gaming, information and studio divisions. This helps them ship customized leisure suggestions to tens of millions of viewers. And international lodge chain, Hyatt, is utilizing Snowflake to higher perceive company’ preferences throughout their properties, serving to craft a extra customized keep for company all through their journey journey. And we’re accelerating throughout the enterprise.
As I stated, our foot’s on the gasoline on the subject of product innovation. Simply final week, we held our BUILD developer summit for greater than 10,000 attendees worldwide. We made some key bulletins in our core enterprise, like the overall availability of Unistore and inside market and cutting-edge improvements like Snowflake Intelligence, a platform to create information brokers. Our AI adoption continues to be sturdy.
As of the tip of Q3, we’ve got over a thousand deployed use instances, which you’ll consider as particular person initiatives we handle with our prospects of our AI and ML merchandise in manufacturing deployments. Greater than 3,200 accounts at the moment are utilizing our AI and ML options. Equally thrilling is the momentum that our newest engineering options are seeing. Our push into interoperability and remodeling information that beforehand wouldn’t have been addressed by Snowflake is proving to be a key differentiator with our prospects.
These options at the moment are north of a $200 million run price as of the tip of Q3. We’re additionally partnering with Microsoft and ServiceNow to extend information interoperability, making it simpler for our prospects to convey information out and in of Snowflake to construct and run functions quicker. As we launch new merchandise like Unistore, Snowflake Open Catalog, and others, if we’re fine-tuning a go-to-market movement that brings collectively engineering, product, advertising, and gross sales to quickly launch, take a look at, iterate, and scale merchandise. It’s giving us a scalable option to broaden our footprint with our prospects and likewise purchase new ones.
Our product innovation is fueling alignment with our cloud infrastructure companions. By way of our collaboration with AWS, we’ve got booked over $3.9 billion over the previous 4 quarters, a rise of 68% versus the previous 4 quarters. our ends in Q3, I can let you know that these shifts are working and enabling us to drive multi-product adoption and additional strengthen our place available in the market. Lastly, I need to discuss concerning the tectonic shifts taking place on the earth of information.
We’re seeing huge adoption of open information codecs, particularly actually open codecs like Apache Iceberg. We’re justifiably happy with our assist for and our investments in Iceberg beneath Snowflake Open Catalog based mostly on Apache Polaris that’s seeing fast adoption with builders and enterprises. Equally, it’s clear that AI goes to vary how folks devour information. Not solely is AI going to make structured and unstructured information extra interchangeable, it is usually going to closely affect areas like enterprise intelligence.
With our unmatched product functionality, ease-of-use, architectural flexibility, complete governance, and prescient bets in Iceberg, Polaris, Cortex, and lots of others, we’re well-positioned to be the information platform of alternative for enterprises over the following decade. Our meant acquisition of Datavolo strengthens our basis to ship an extensible and versatile connectivity platform for unstructured, in addition to structured information. It accelerates our potential to herald and vastly simplify information engineering workloads for our prospects. On the consumption facet, the GA of Snowflake Notebooks, in addition to the success and adoption of merchandise like Cortex AI, place us nicely to make the most of the brand new capabilities that AI will allow us to create.
As you have in all probability seen, we simply introduced a partnership with Anthropic to convey their strongest fashions to our prospects by Snowflake Cortex AI. This provides enterprises the selection to construct cutting-edge AI functions utilizing the mannequin of their alternative with the benefit, built-in safety, and governance of the Snowflake platform. The associated fee effectivity, flexibility, and extensibility we ship are why iconic manufacturers like Accor, Chipotle, Comcast, Hyatt, Kraft Heinz, NBC Common, Sanofi, Toyota, and hundreds extra are betting their enterprise on Snowflake. As we transfer ahead, we’ve got an enormous alternative to proceed to develop with AI all through the information journey continues.
This is not simply our product imaginative and prescient should you ask from a few of our most vital prospects. They see the benefit of use and high quality and financial savings we offer right this moment and needed to develop additional to allow them to cut back much more value by Snowflake dealing with increasingly more of their information journey. We see a day once we can energy the end-to-end information life cycle for our prospects, and that is our North Star. We come at this from a place of energy that we are going to proceed to leverage.
Our core long-term differentiation of an easy-to-use, easy, environment friendly, built-in product with complete governance, cross-cloud consistency, and collaboration will proceed to set us aside. That is thrilling, and I stay up for sharing increasingly more of our progress alongside the way in which. With that, Mike, I am going to flip it over to you.

Thanks, Sridhar. Q3 was 1 / 4 of sturdy execution throughout income, bookings, and margins, development in our core enterprise outperformed. Web income retention charges stabilized at 127%. New product initiatives are starting to contribute to development.
As Sridhar talked about, Snowpark is nicely on monitor to signify 3% of product income and rising properly. With roughly 500 accounts adopting Iceberg and storage remaining 11% of our consumption, we’ve got seen minimal headwinds from prospects shifting to Iceberg. We imagine our contribution from information engineering options like Snowpark, dynamic tables, connectors, and Snowpipe Streaming will greater than offset the potential lack of storage income. Bookings have been sturdy within the quarter, and we’re seeing massive deal quantity improve.
We signed three $50 million-plus complete contract worth offers, and we count on this momentum to proceed in This fall. We had 18 International 2000 prospects within the quarter. Turning to margins for Q3. Non-GAAP product gross margin of 76% stabilized sequentially.
Non-GAAP working margin of 6% exceeded our steering, benefiting from income outperformance, efficiencies in R&D, and bills associated to our new Bay Space workplace house being pushed to This fall. Our non-GAAP adjusted free money circulate margin was 9%, pushed by sturdy bookings. We proceed to see roughly 80% of our prospects paying us yearly prematurely. In Q3, we issued $1.15 billion and 0% convertible senior notes due in 2027 and $1.15 billion and 0% convertible senior notes due in 2029.
Proceeds from the providing have been used to pay for the capped calls and concurrent share repurchase. We count on to make use of the remaining proceeds to fund inventory repurchases and potential acquisitions and for basic company functions. 12 months up to now, we’ve got used $1.9 billion to repurchase 14.8 million shares at a weighted common worth per share of $130.87. We’ve got $2 billion remaining on our authorization by March 2027.
Our share depend steering doesn’t embrace the affect from potential upcoming inventory repurchases. We ended the quarter with $5 billion in money, money equivalents, short-term, and long-term investments. Now, let’s flip to steering. For the fourth quarter, we count on product income between $906 million and $911 million, representing 23% year-over-year development.
We’re growing our FY ’25 product income steering. We now count on full yr product income of roughly $3.43 billion, representing 29% year-over-year development. This contains contributions from our newer product options and product effectivity headwinds. We view product efficiencies as a standard a part of our enterprise so we is not going to be breaking out these assumptions going ahead.
Turning to margins. In FY ’25, we’re growing our non-GAAP product gross margin steering to 76%, our non-GAAP working margin steering to five%. We count on roughly 26% non-GAAP adjusted free money circulate margin for the yr. As Sridhar talked about, we’ve got gone by a rigorous technique of evaluating our value construction.
We imagine we will make investments aggressively to handle the massive alternative in entrance of us whereas additionally being extra environment friendly. Our innovation and revenue-driving capabilities are being resourced to drive sturdy development whereas additionally enabling us to indicate working leverage for years to come back. With that, operator, we are going to now open up the road for questions.

Hello. Thanks. Mike, it is spectacular to see the energy right here concurrently in each the consumption income and the bookings, particularly given the prioritization of consumption incentives this yr. I am curious to what you would possibly attribute that and particularly whether or not Iceberg tables may need contributed all or whether or not Snowpark may need picked up in any significant manner.
After which, I’ve a fast follow-up.
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
I might say we’re beginning to see the optimistic advantage of Iceberg with plenty of prospects that at the moment are bringing new workloads that at the moment are being addressed by Snowflake and Iceberg tables. However I might simply say, it is broad-based demand throughout our prospects. Yeah, there’s a couple of verticals that have been very sturdy, know-how, monetary companies, and healthcare, but it surely’s actually broad-based. And we’re seeing the uptick, as Sridhar was mentioning, numerous the information engineering stuff, as nicely, too.
And Snowpark is a part of that.
Mark Murphy — Analyst
Nice to listen to. And, Sridhar, I imagine you had talked about displacing the petition time and again, and that stood out to me. I am curious should you noticed a rise in these aggressive displacements throughout Q3 and what you suppose may be triggering it. As a result of we at all times hear the information sharing is unparalleled, however you had launched a slew of AI-related merchandise.
And I am additionally questioning should you suppose that that may be swaying a few of these aggressive accounts over.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
At one degree, the merchandise that we’re releasing that we launch makes everyone really feel nice about type of the way forward for the platform, what they’ll do with it, each right this moment and likewise tomorrow. The sort of issues that individuals are already getting performed with Cortex AI Search and Analyst is already fairly spectacular. However on the subject of the displacement, I might say that if the core features of the product, which is the benefit of use, the quicker time to worth, the — like the shortage of needing a really massive workforce to arrange deployments and keep them as we go alongside, these are the issues that contribute most to folks then, you already know, like attempting one thing and coming again to Snowflake and going, this can be a a lot better option to make progress with information. And that is the rationale why we obsessed about ensuring Cortex, for instance, is built-in very tightly with every little thing else.
You construct a chatbot on Snowflake. It’s routinely going to obey the entire permissions on the information that’s beneath. And that is the magic of Snowflake. Christian, any further ideas?
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product

Wonderful. Thanks guys for taking the query, and congratulations on a very strong quarter. Mike, a query for you simply when it comes to just like the energy within the quarter. Out of your commentary, issues just like the core enterprise, just like the core information warehousing enterprise was actually the standout within the quarter, and that is firming up and the NRR firming up.
However I hoped should you might give us some sort of visibility into the ramp that you simply’re seeing with the brand new AI merchandise like Cortex. And the way does that evaluate to what you noticed with Snowpark if we take into consideration them in the identical time of their evolution? So, that is a top-line query. After which, additionally, a bottom-line query for you. Final quarter, we talked about type of accelerating investments notably in distribution.
It appears like that is being considerably offset by with the ability to discover type of redundancies or headcount reductions as a result of we did not actually see it within the headcount quantity, and that addition was comparatively modest. So, it looks like you guys have been capable of sort of drive funding, but additionally discover type of like nets to take out of headcount. Is that the fitting manner to consider it?
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
Yeah. So, in your first query, after I discuss concerning the core enterprise, the core enterprise is information warehousing with information engineering. What we’re speaking about is the newer information engineering options that Sridhar was speaking about. However there’s numerous information engineering that is performed in Snowflake, and that was very sturdy as nicely.
We’re seeing the uptick in new merchandise. I might say Cortex is beginning to take off. It is nonetheless very a lot within the early innings, and we’re very optimistic of what that is going to do sooner or later based mostly upon what we’re seeing. And Snowpark continues to trace as anticipated.
It is going to be 3% of our income for the yr and rising very properly yr over yr. By way of the efficiencies, we have gone by performed numerous efficiency administration, particularly within the gross sales group. They have been hiring, and there is going to be numerous hiring within the gross sales group this quarter they’re doing. And we actually regarded throughout the corporate at combining groups collectively the place attainable.
And we’re not changing backfills as shortly due to that. And that is why we’re seeing the working financial savings that we’re doing. There isn’t a mass riff or something like that. Do not take into consideration that.
We’re not doing that. It is regular efficiency administration and actually being considerate of the place we put folks.

Hello. Thanks very a lot. One for you, Sridhar, and one for Mike. Sridhar, there’s a narrative, which you’ll positively dispute that the core of the Snowflake information platform, that structured information does probably not have a protracted runway on the earth of generative AI and that additionally Snowflake has loads to show with respect to generative AI on the unstructured information.
What proof factors are you able to discuss to the quarter that might invalidate that bearish view and reinforce your conviction. And one for you, Mike. With the headwinds from storage not being as a lot as was dialed in, ought to we safely assume that you simply’re guiding to product income, 29% for the yr, or take away 3 factors for Snowpark container companies, that the core is definitely at some extent the place you possibly can see it’s secure going to subsequent yr. I do know you are not giving steering, and if we will begin to consider doing the dream of all the brand new merchandise to be largely incremental to that development, proper? Thanks a lot, and congratulations.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
Thanks, Kash. On the, you already know, core enterprise facet, analytics, you already know, nonetheless goes to be fairly essential, getting a very powerful information about your small business, however more and more with the ability to act on it shortly in actual time, is the factor that’s going to set nice firms aside. In the event you take a look at the most effective firms which have been created up to now like two, two and a half many years, these are firms which have built-in information into the core of how they’re working. And after I discuss to prospects, not simply concerning the analytics, the view of unpolluted information, but additionally about with the ability to act on it, with the ability to see tendencies, with the ability to.
you already know, determine issues like visitor experiences like our prospects, Hyatt and Disney, do at scale. So, there is a very lengthy runway as a result of analytics flows over seamlessly and fluidly into issues like machine studying. And AI then turns into much more of an accelerant as a result of now you can go from unstructured information to structured information very, very simply. And that is the magic of merchandise like Cortex AI.
And the brand new issues that we introduced in BUILD, the place you possibly can convey multimodal fashions. Think about a world wherein you simply write a SQL assertion that goes to behave on a PDF and produces a bunch of structured info out on the opposite facet. It redefines what you and I consider as analytics as a result of simply much more could be performed. And so, that is the world that we’re driving towards, and that is the place investments in firms, like Datavolo, that convey much more information into Snowflake is, you already know, thrilling and empowering for us as an information platform.
After which, on the opposite facet, on the subject of unstructured information or simply AI functions, as I stated in my remarks, we’ve got over a thousand deployed use instances. And in all of them, these will not be tie deployments. We work with our prospects. We ensure that they get worth from it.
That is the very first thing that I inform all our prospects. AI must be a enterprise accelerant. It isn’t a pastime. And the merchandise that we’ve got created, which do issues like take trustability, the work that we’re doing with the TruEra acquisition, for instance, that brings observability to how folks create AI functions, are those which might be creating rock-solid functions and the place more and more, the distinction between structured and unstructured goes to be much less and fewer significant as we go ahead.
After which, when it comes to examples, there are a ton of them, Siemens, Bayer, these are all of us — Zoom, these are all of us which have used our AI product, acquired immense worth, and talked publicly about them. So, I really feel superb about the place we’re executing on that facet.
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
And, Kash, in your query on the soundness of the enterprise. As I stated, the core enterprise could be very secure and powerful. You realize, we simply had an excellent quarter, however extra importantly, our NRR has remained at 127% the final two quarters. We’re guiding to 23%.
I do need to remind you, This fall has essentially the most variety of holidays in it, and there’s some seasonality that we skilled throughout that time period. However our enterprise could be very sturdy, and I really feel actually good about subsequent yr proper now the place we’re sitting. And why I say that’s as a result of we have actually constructed muscle in our gross sales group this yr for actually figuring out new workloads that prospects are going to maneuver into manufacturing subsequent yr. And we’ve got an excellent backlog of these issues that our salespeople are calling for subsequent yr, together with This fall as nicely.

Hey. Thanks. Sridhar, are you able to discuss a little bit bit concerning the acquisition from right this moment? Like, you already know, traditionally, you at all times stated you needed to do some ETL, however there’s clearly fairly a couple of ETL gamers available in the market. How do you see that evolving between what do you need to do? What do the opposite gamers need to do? And what does it convey to Snowflake? After which I’ve a follow-up for Mike.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
I imply, initially, these are all very, very, very massive areas. The general imaginative and prescient, particularly with the Period interoperable information that is upon us is we predict that there’s a very massive alternative for Snowflake to assist our prospects act on all of their information, not simply the gold information that they used to place into Snowflake for analytics. Anecdotal, however the sort of examples that I get from speaking to our prospects is that they have lots of, typically thousand occasions as a lot information sitting in cloud storage as they are going to do in a structured information platform. And increasingly more, additionally they really feel like it will be significant that they personal that information.
And so, you are seeing a shift wherein issues like utility information is getting de-siloed, deconstructed in order that, you already know, nice new issues imaginable, each for information transformation, information engineering, but additionally AI goes to occur. And that is the context wherein one thing like a Datavolo is actually essential for us. It comes with over 100 totally different connectors out of the field. It will run as a part of Snowflake.
It can be deployed in buyer VPCs, which lets us convey information in from locations the place usually we’d not be capable to run Snowflake on. And so. it is actually a primary multiplier for the information that our information engineering pipelines can tackle however our AI merchandise could be constructed on. However as I stated, this can be a very, very massive house, estimated, you already know, simply information engineering — information merchandise as a complete, we predict will likely be on the order of a number of hundred billion {dollars} 10 years from now.
And so, there’s going to be numerous firm. Our worth add is that this straightforward built-in, extremely environment friendly platform that we will convey for our prospects. And issues like Datavolo are an essential piece right here. Christian?
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product
I believe you commented nicely. And, after all, we’ve got loads of companions additionally doing information integration. And the fact is there’s so many sources of information. An enormous space of focus of Datavolo was the unstructured information that Sridhar talked about.
Raimo Lenschow — Analyst

Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
I might say from the financial system, it is similar to what I stated final quarter, it isn’t This fall, but it surely’s good. It isn’t dangerous. And I believe we’re simply executing very nicely. And we’re actually seeing the outcomes of our go-to-market efforts that we have had this yr and actually working to determine new workloads reasonably than simply attempting to deal with bookings.
And I believe that is paying off proper now, and it is forcing our salespeople to be nearer to prospects.

Thanks in your query. The subsequent query is from the road of Kirk Materne with Evercore ISI. Your line is now open.
Kirk Materne — Analyst
Yeah, thanks very a lot. I am going to echo the congrats on a pleasant quarter. Sridhar, clearly, we’ll hear much more about autonomous brokers over the following yr from numerous suppliers available in the market. Are you able to simply discuss what meaning for consumption on Snowflake information platforms, which means it will appear that brokers are going to be heavy shoppers of information.
Simply sort of interested in how you concentrate on that chance as this turns into a little bit bit extra of a ubiquitous type of subject.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
It’s a good query, however, you already know, I at all times deal with buyer worth. It is vital as a result of that can drive consumption. And so, with the merchandise that we’ve got launched like Cortex Search, for instance, you possibly can construct a fairly credible chatbot and play with it and use it at low frequency for one thing like $10. So, it is our purpose to make know-how straightforward.
Consumption is a consequence when there’s a broad use. Having stated that, our AI investments have at all times had a really sturdy deal with trustworthiness on reliability. In actual fact, the three issues that I at all times discuss after I discuss to our prospects or our groups about AI is — our AI is straightforward, it’s environment friendly, and it’s trusted. So, that is what lets our prospects create chatbots that may present citations to allow them to make certain of the solutions that they get.
Equally, with Cortex Analyst, we have been engaged on growing the reliability in order that after they get a structured reply to a query, they’ll truly ensure that it is the fitting reply. The cool factor about Snowflake Intelligence, particularly together with our partnership with Anthropic, is it’s now the — it now offers the power to tie all of this stuff collectively. So, in case you are a salesman, as an alternative of looking out first in drive to see, hey, what motion gadgets did you conform to after the final assembly, after which, maybe, going to Snowflake to search out what our consumption tendencies with a specific buyer after which possibly updating Salesforce, we stay up for a world wherein actions like this may be performed off a single interface. And a pure consequence then is how do you flip this right into a periodic job, one thing that’s performed in your behalf within the background in order that it might let you know if there’s a drawback.
That is the place issues like anomaly detection, taking automated actions turns into fairly fascinating. However like we offer know-how with a view towards what creates worth, we really feel very assured that you can imagine brokers as primarily the twenty first century model of CRON jobs that all of us used to run. That is the actual energy that brokers present with much more sophistication, and it is enabling worth for our prospects that we predict we could be embedded much more deeply of their enterprise. And completely, that may even drive numerous consumption.
A number of our AI consumption, by the way in which, comes from issues like folks with the ability to write a single SQL assertion that may do sentiment detection or that may do summarization throughout one million items of buyer suggestions. Beforehand, that was like a little bit machine studying venture {that a} workforce wanted to do. At this level, that is a chunk of SQL that somebody out of faculty can write in 5 minutes. That is the utility that we get from it.
And it is the identical sample with brokers as nicely.
Kirk Materne — Analyst
That is actually useful. And, Mike, only a actually fast one. Worldwide is clearly an enormous alternative for you. How do you’re feeling such as you’re positioned in type of Europe and Asia Pac as you head into ’25? Thanks once more.

We have actually been targeted on the upper finish of the market, and we’re going to focus extra on the mid-market in Europe, and APJ continues to develop very properly. We’re seeing sturdy development in Japan, particularly. We’re beginning to see stuff in India, Korea.
Australia has at all times performed very nicely for us. And New Zealand, imagine it or not, is an excellent marketplace for — it is a small market however a really sturdy marketplace for us.

I needed to ask, how are prospects utilizing Cortex and making it accessible of their organizations and the way a lot of it ought to we consider as driving incremental consumption, versus one thing possibly they have been already doing with typical SQL queries?
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
I believe the — usually, the sort of use instances that Cortex AI permits are fairly distinct from what was attainable with SQL. I am going to let CK chime in, in a second. However let’s face it, should you needed to undergo the entire notes written by a gross sales workforce on use instances and analyze it, more often than not, the venture would not even occur. Lately, this can be a self-referential instance of us utilizing our personal merchandise.
One of many issues that we needed to do was we needed higher perception into use instances that our gross sales workforce had created, however the concept of clicking by a UI and 50,000 totally different use instances to determine what was occurring is just not one thing you possibly can usually discover volunteers for. However it seems, you possibly can write a couple of queries that may, in reality, that may do a fairly wonderful job of inserting structured info from all of those notes which might be on the market. And we have been capable of do one thing that truthfully would by no means have gotten performed as a venture earlier than. It is these sorts of issues that I believe, you already know, the Cortex household of merchandise will allow.
However once more, we deal with worth creation, what is the further worth that the shopper will get that we get.
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product
Yeah. I believe lots of the use instances or situations that Sridhar lined are round textual content analytics, which could be very adjoining to what we have been for a very long time. However as we introduced and construct, we have expanded past textual content to assist pictures, audio, and video. So, that is one a part of it’s analytics.
The opposite piece that we’re seeing numerous momentum and curiosity is with Cortex Search and Cortex Analyst, which is how will we democratize entry to information. And that’s going fairly nicely.

As I stated, I am not going to be speaking about totally different efficiency enhancements going ahead. It is factored into the information with the place we see them. However as I’ve talked about in my ready remarks, we predict with what we’re seeing with a number of the new information engineering options that that can greater than offset any potential storage income we lose because of folks shifting to — shifting information out of Snowflake.

I suppose, possibly, Sridhar, when it comes to what you are seeing with a number of the sort of first mover prospects which might be seeing a possibility with Snowflake to sort of assault a much wider information property, what are you seeing when it comes to that information quantity uplift sort of that put and take from storage to incremental companies that you simply have been capable of unlock?
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
As I used to be — you already know, as I used to be saying, I actually consider this as an enormous new alternative the place abruptly, numerous our prospects are realizing that with issues like our Iceberg assist, they’ll do issues with the Snowflake compute engine, even to run analytics, for instance, on historic information that’s sitting in information estates that merely wouldn’t have been attainable earlier than. And, you already know, these are the incremental use instances that we’re seeing that circulate into this class known as information sharing, which we gave you some colour on. And it is actually the mix then of like Iceberg, however then AI options or information pipelining options like dynamic tables that mixes to create new alternative for us. The rest so as to add, Christian?
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product
No. Perhaps what I might say is that the shopper sample is it is simpler to say I’ve information in Snowflake and it’s working nicely. Let me attempt to use Snowflake information that it is already sitting in cloud storage. And people are the use instances that we’re seeing prioritized first, and that is what we’re seeing a big improve month over month on quantity of information that’s being made accessible to Snowflake through Iceberg tables that results in further consumption and that’s going forward of any storage headwinds.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
Do you need to add a touch upon how Polaris is essential right here?
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product
That is additionally a brilliant fascinating pattern. At summit, we launched Polaris catalog. Since then, we donated it to the Apache Software program Basis. We let prospects host it themselves.
We even have a Snowflake hosted model, which is our Snowflake Open Catalog. And we’re seeing very, very sturdy curiosity from organizations the world over with the ability to depend on a really open-source catalog that makes increasingly more information accessible to Snowflake, but additionally whereas honoring the will and the promise of with the ability to interoperate with different engines.
Alex Zukin — Analyst
Excellent. After which, possibly only a follow-up, Mike, for you, are you able to possibly discuss by a number of the gross sales modifications, whether or not when it comes to efficiency administration, when it comes to ought to we be eager about any incremental conservatism as we take a look at our fashions for subsequent yr versus what appears to be an bettering funds backdrop spending setting doubtlessly going into subsequent yr with a few of your largest verticals like FinServ and Tech. Something we should always consider as we take a look at our fashions for subsequent yr?
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
I might simply say that our gross sales leaders have gone by and actually — you already know, sometimes salespeople at all times wait until the tip of the yr to do efficiency administration based mostly upon how they’ve carried out. And gross sales leaders now notice you are able to do efficiency administration all year long. And we began doing much more efficiency administration in Q3, and we have been backfilling these folks with the fitting skillsets of what we’re in search of. And I am not going to speak about conservatism or no matter we guided for the quarter.
And we really feel good and I be ok with what we’re seeing subsequent yr. The one factor I might remind you is when you’re constructing your fashions for subsequent yr, Q1, we don’t get pleasure from intercalary year that we had final yr, so there’s one much less day in it. That does have an effect on the year-over-year development charges if you’re constructing your fashions.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
And the opposite small further colour that I’ll add right here is that, you already know, our gross sales groups as a part of the consumption push have been evolving a complete new science round how do, you already know, you go from exercise to make use of instances, to make use of instances one to what’s in deployment. And that is half — that is the premise of issues just like the efficiency administration, and I’ve to simply give them monumental credit score for his or her potential to simply handle this course of much more rationally. And it is with the ability to try this. That even shines the sunshine on issues like what are best-in-class strategies for, you already know, driving the enterprise ahead.
And, you already know, a part of — you see that mirrored within the outcomes, and that is what makes me really feel optimistic about how the workforce is working. They’ve performed a very great job.
Alex Zukin — Analyst
Excellent. Thanks guys. Congratulations.
Operator
Thanks in your query. Subsequent query is from the road of Brad Sills with Financial institution of America. Your line is now open.
Brad Sills — Analyst
Nice. Thanks a lot. Query for you, Sridhar. I could not assist however discover a number of the feedback you made on the energy you are seeing with AWS.
I might like to get an replace from you on sort of the place the incremental focus has been on with the massive hyperscaler companions in go-to market. It appears to be having an actual optimistic affect right here.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
That is proper. As you already know, we’ve got an ideal relationship with AWS, but additionally with Azure. We work collectively loads, and there is a superb relationship, you already know, on the exec degree but additionally on the discipline degree. It’s completely the case that, for instance, that AWS plus Snowflake is a superb answer, as is Azure plus Snowflake.
I might say, we’ve got some, let’s name it, like, you already know, shoots of grass on our relationships with GCP when it comes to what is feasible there. We’re working with that to make it occur. As I stated, all of that is within the context of an information platform trade that’s going to be increasing fairly massively over the ten years. So, everyone sees the chance.
However then, it is a query of lining up each single workforce inside multi-thousand individual firms to collaborate successfully. And you must positively count on to see extra of that.
Christian Kleinerman — Govt Vice President, Product
I might add that an space of frequent floor with the hyperscalers has been this collaboration round Apache Iceberg as successfully the usual option to signify information in order that we will interoperate.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
That is proper. I imply — and so they’re all very enthusiastic about getting behind Iceberg as is far of the trade as a result of the trade now realizes that this can be a true customary that’s managed by nobody. Not like earlier codecs that have been open in identify solely and managed by a single firm that would arbitrarily change its thoughts about what was open and what was closed, Iceberg is seen because the format. And, you already know, I dare say that Iceberg is the VHS, and the previous format are the Betamax of codecs.
And we’re very blissful to see this as a result of that is nice for our prospects, and it is nice for Snowflake.
Brad Sills — Analyst
That is nice to listen to. Thanks, Sridhar. After which, one for you, Mike, if I’d. You have stated up to now that the energy you are seeing this yr, you already know, signings of latest workloads and issues like Snowpark and Cortex are going to result in some consumption ramp heading into subsequent yr.
We might simply like to get an replace from you on the way you see that ramp heading into subsequent yr, simply given it sounds what you are seeing some actual optimistic momentum on the brand new product facet. Thanks.
Mike Scarpelli — Chief Monetary Officer
Properly, I am not going to information for subsequent yr, however it’s beginning to be significant contributors to our income. The one factor we have known as out when it comes to {dollars} and we known as that at first of the yr, what we thought is Snowpark is nicely on monitor to be 3% of our income. However the newer issues, dynamic tables is actually beginning to take off, and that has an affect on consumption. I count on Notebooks goes to be a significant factor for us for the information science persona, which goes to result in extra consumption in Snowflake and every little thing we have talked about Cortex.
So, keep tuned for our This fall name once we’ll provide you with extra colour on what we’re seeing for subsequent yr with these new options particularly.
Brad Sills — Analyst
Nice. Thanks, Mike.

We at the moment are out of time for added questions. So, I will likely be passing the decision again to Sridhar for any closing remarks.
Sridhar Ramaswamy — Chief Govt Officer
Thanks. Earlier than we finish the decision, I need to depart you all with this. We’ve got nice momentum, and I could not be extra happy with how we’re executing day in and day trip. Our development price on the scale is extremely spectacular, and we’ve got our foot on the gasoline.
