                    <p>Thank you, operator. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today to review Braze's results for the fiscal second quarter 2025. I'm joined by our Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Bill Magnuson; and our Chief Financial Officer, Isabelle Winkles.

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Thank you, Chris, and good afternoon, everyone. We were very pleased with our second quarter results, which again demonstrated the high ROI and long-term value of the Braze customer engagement platform, along with strong execution from our teams around the world. We were encouraged by the new business one in the quarter, the progress made in our product investments and the continued development of our AI initiatives.</p>
                        <p>We generated $145.5 million of revenue, up 26% year-over-year, while driving continued efficiency across our business. Non-GAAP gross margin was 70.9%, a rise of 90 basis points compared to the previous year, and we demonstrated strong operating leverage, realizing our first-ever quarter of non-GAAP operating income profitability and non-GAAP net income profitability. We take pride in achieving these milestones and look forward to continuing to grow our business efficiently in the coming quarters and years, generating more meaningful non-GAAP operating income and free cash flow for shareholders while also thoughtfully reinvesting in our business.</p>
                        <p>We've highlighted the legacy vendor replacement cycle and point solution consolidation trends over the last few quarters, and we're excited to see those trends continue as marketers realize that the antiquated technology and silo architectures of the legacy marketing clouds and e-mail service providers are unsuited for modern engagement use cases.</p>
                        <p>Customer growth in the quarter was solid, with our customer count reaching 2,163, an increase of 61 during the quarter and 205 year-over-year.</p>
                        <p>New business wins and upsells included Asiana Airlines, Bell Media, Gumtree, LoanDepot, N26, Papa John's Pizza, Strawberry Hotels, Supercell, TF1, Zalando and many others. Q2 also saw the diversification of our customer base on full display as we want new customers around the world and across a range of diverse industries, including a European hotel chain, an American professional sports franchise, a European advertising marketplace, a QSR chain in APAC, a major American media conglomerate, a European TV network and international food and beverage company, a German Neo Bank and an American home design company, among many others.</p>
                        <p>In the coming years, we believe that both the legacy replacement cycle and vendor consolidation trends will drive increased share gains for Braze as brands put even greater emphasis on customer engagement strategies and seek to capitalize on new AI-driven advancements.</p>
                        <p>As marketers become increasingly skated and ambitious with their customer engagement efforts, we believe Braze will benefit. And through the growth of our customer community and the successful execution of our product road map and global expansion strategy, Braze can position itself as a global category leader in customer engagement, delivering increased relevance and personalization to consumers at scale.</p>
                        <p>Upsell was also strong this quarter, as existing customers continue to grow with Braze, adopting more channels, deploying more use cases, increasing their messaging volumes and adding new business units and geographies to their Braze deployments.</p>
                        <p>This quarter, we also secured our second and third 8-figure customers.</p>
                        <p>First, with the long-tenured global quick service restaurant group and next with a large technology conglomerate, the strong presence in the gaming space. The realization of continued expansion opportunities with long-term customers such as these is a strong testament to Braze's pace of product innovation, our performance, stability and reliability at scale and our leadership in the customer engagement category.</p>
                        <p>Enterprise remains a strength for Braze. With our $500,000 plus ARR customers growing to 222, up 28% year-over-year, a testament to the strong return on investment available to those brands who invest in first-party data and use sophisticated customer engagement strategies and advanced AI to enhance and enrich their customer relationships at scale.</p>
                        <p>With the macroeconomic environment continues to present challenges, we are effectively navigating them and staying focused on executing against our long-term product, operational and financial goals. We believe difficult environments present valuable opportunities to create long-term differentiation and separation from our competition, and we are committed to capitalizing on this period to cement our position as a global leader in customer engagement.</p>
                        <p>As such, we are investing in our brand and our business by strengthening our global teams, enhancing our channel offerings, improving system performance, smoothing the on-ramp into braces for new customers and elevating our AI offerings.</p>
                        <p>In July, Braze celebrated 2 important milestones as we observed our 13-year anniversary and introduced the Braze data platform to the world. With more than a decade of experience and focus on customer engagement, we deeply understand the importance of high-performance data activation and flexible governance in order to deliver sophisticated relevance and revenue optimization, especially as the challenge of modern customer engagement has spread across an increasingly ubiquitous set of customer touch points.</p>
                        <p>The Braze data platform is a comprehensive set of data capabilities and partner integrations designed to streamline data unification, activation and distribution. Built with flexibility, interoperability and modularity in mind, the Braze data platform helps brands easily integrate and leverage their data regardless of their preferred technologies and workflows.</p>
                        <p>With the Braze data platform, brands can simplify the process of collecting and bringing first-party data together from any source. Recent additions to the Braze data platform included an extension to cloud data ingestion, which allows customers to generate audience segments directly from data warehouse partners like Amazon Redshift, Databricks and Snowflake, giving brands the flexibility to use zero-copy technology whenever their use case is demanded.</p>
                        <p>And by utilizing existing capabilities such as data transformations, catalogs, our SDKs and our APIs, brands can strike the right balance of security, performance and architectural considerations while efficiently organizing their data and empowering marketers to bring their creative ideas to life more quickly while also reducing their dependence on expensive technical teams.</p>
                        <p>We also launched new data management capabilities and our highly flexible catalogs offering to customers take advantage of recently integrated AI features while maintaining rapid time to value at a low total cost of ownership. Combining these data features with Braze AI and our robust partner community helps customers test and deliver more personalized experiences to more customers in more places and do it with confidence. We're very excited to continue building the future of the Braze data platform in collaboration with the broader data ecosystem, including our Braze data platform launch partners, Amperity, amplitude, census, hightouch and mparticle, RudderStack, Simon Data, Tealium, Treasure Data and Twilio Segment.</p>
                        <p>As we work toward our goal of becoming the category leader in customer engagement, we will continue investing to expand the size and diversity of our customer community, aiming to establish Braves as both the premier skill set for customer engagement practitioners and as the reference architecture for the modern customer engagement technology stack.</p>
                        <p>Just yesterday, we announced 2 new initiatives to accelerate our customer community growth, while also making it easier for teams of all sizes to experience Braze's firsthand.</p>
                        <p>The first is Braze for start-ups, which supports the next generation of VC-backed start-ups to power sustainable customer center growth from day 1 by providing them with exclusive access to the Braze's platform, services and community. The goal of the program is to win the business of the next generation of digital leaders driving long-term new business opportunities. Startups can grow with confidence knowing that Braves is the only customer engagement platform they'll ever need to buy.</p>
                        <p>Second, we announced a free trial program. allowing brands to test the platform, including our dashboard and APIs for 14 days without charge. This will provide marketers with the opportunity to dive into special guided walk-throughs, test prebuilt campaigns and journey templates and preview Braze AI features seeing firsthand how they can drive meaningful engagement and business results. We believe this will help in more business across customer types and expand more quickly into new business units within existing customers.</p>
                        <p>Later this month, we'll be unveiling even more product innovation at our annual flagship customer conference, Forge, which takes place from September 23 to the 25 in Las Vegas.</p>
                        <p>You'll hear more about our approach to investing in the Braze data platform, data unification, activation and distribution as well as enhancements to orchestration and AI capabilities designed to make experimentation and content generation easier and more effective at scale.</p>
                        <p>You'll also hear more about how we're increasing the depth and breadth of our channels and helping brands stay ahead of evolving consumer needs. We hope that many of you will join us at Forge to learn about these updates live, and also experienced exciting customer engagement innovations through live workshops and hear from some of our outstanding customers and partners.</p>
                        <p>We'll also be hosting an investor event on Monday, September 23 before Forge, during which we will share more of our product and market vision as well as more details about our financial outlook.</p>
                        <p>Finally, I want to update you on our social initiatives. In July, we published our third annual ESG report, which summarizes our progress and initiatives related to environmental, social and governance topics and demonstrates our commitment to the accountability and transparency of our approach to social impact. We look forward to growing these efforts through continued employee advocacy and participation over time. I encourage all stakeholders to visit our newly launched ESG website for additional information on our efforts.</p>
                        <p>I'll wrap my remarks by reiterating our commitment to driving long-term growth, efficiency and profitability in our business.</p>
                        <p>Thank you for your interest and support in Braze. And now I'll turn the call over to Isabelle.</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Thank you, Bill, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today.</p>
                        <p>As Bill stated, we reported a solid second quarter with revenue increasing 26% year-over-year to $145.5 million, driven by a combination of existing customer contract expansions, renewals and new business. Subscription revenue remains the primary component of our total top line, contributing 96% of our second quarter revenue, while the remaining 4% represents a combination of recurring professional services and onetime configuration and onboarding fees.
Total customer count increased 10% year-over-year to 2,163 customers as of July 31, up 205 from the same period last year and up 61 from the prior quarter.</p>
                        <p>Our total number of large numbers, which we define as those spending at least $500,000 annually grew 28% year-over-year to 222. And as of July 31, contributed 61% to our total ARR. This compares to a 57% contribution as of the same quarter last year.</p>
                        <p>Measured across all customers, dollar-based net retention was 114%, while dollar-based net retention for our large customers was 117%. Expansion was again broadly distributed across industries and geographic regions. Revenue outside the U.S. contributed 45% to our total revenue in the second quarter compared to 43% in the prior year quarter and 44% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.</p>
                        <p>In the second quarter, our total remaining performance obligation was $690 million, up 32% year-over-year and up 5% sequentially. Current RPO was $438 million, up 24% year-over-year and up 4% sequentially. The year-over-year increases were driven by contract renewals and upsells and the signing of new customer contracts. Overall, our dollar-weighted contract length remains at just over 2 years.</p>
                        <p>Non-GAAP gross profit in the quarter was $103 million, representing a non-GAAP gross margin of 70.9%. This compares to a non-GAAP gross profit of $81 million and non-GAAP gross margin of 70% in the second quarter of last year. The year-over-year margin improvement was primarily driven by the continued cost optimization of our technology stack with additional benefits from personnel efficiencies.</p>
                        <p>Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses were $58 million or 40% of revenue, compared to $52 million or 45% of revenue in the prior year quarter.</p>
                        <p>While the dollar increase reflects our year-over-year investment in headcount to support our ongoing global growth and expansion, the improved efficiency reflects our disciplined investment approach to resource deployment across our go-to-market organization.</p>
                        <p>Non-GAAP R&amp;D expense was $21 million or 15% of revenue, compared to $19 million or 16% of revenue in the prior year quarter. The dollar increase was primarily driven by increased headcount costs to support the expansion of our existing offerings as well as to develop new products and features to drive growth.</p>
                        <p>Non-GAAP G&amp;A expense was $19 million or 13% of revenue, compared to $17 million or 15% of revenue in the prior year quarter.</p>
                        <p>While the dollar increase was driven by investments to support our overall company growth, the improved efficiency continues to reflect our disciplined approach to investment and resource deployment as we continue to scale.</p>
                        <p>Non-GAAP operating income was $4.2 million or 3% of revenue compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $7.6 million or 7% of revenue in the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Braze shareholders in the quarter was $9.1 million or $0.09 per share compared to a loss of $3.9 million or a loss of $0.04 per share in the prior year quarter.</p>
                        <p>Now turning to the balance sheet and cash flow statement. We ended the quarter with $504 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities. Cash provided by operations during the quarter was $11.6 million compared to cash used of $17.5 million in the prior year quarter. This marks our third straight quarter of positive operating cash flow. Including the impact of capitalized costs, free cash flow in the second quarter was approximately $7.2 million compared to negative free cash flow of $18.7 million in the prior year quarter. And as we have noted in the past, we expect our free cash flow to continue to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter given the timing of customer and vendor payments.</p>
                        <p>Now turning to guidance.</p>
                        <p>For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we expect revenue to be in the range of $147.5 million to $148.5 million, which represents a year-over-year growth rate of approximately 19% at the midpoint.</p>
                        <p>Third quarter non-GAAP operating loss is expected to be in the range of $3.5 million to $4.5 million. At the midpoint, this implies an operating margin of approximately negative 2.5%.</p>
                        <p>Third quarter operating income will be affected by the cost of Forge, our annual customer conference, as well as several global customer events scheduled during the quarter.</p>
                        <p>Taken together, these events will impact the third quarter operating expenses by an estimated $5 million to $6 million.</p>
                        <p>In addition, the back half of the year will be impacted by our midyear compensation and promotion cycle for which comp increases were effective August 1.</p>
                        <p>Third quarter non-GAAP net loss is expected to be $0.5 million to $1.5 million, and third quarter non-GAAP net loss per share in the range of $0.00 to a loss of $0.01 per share based on approximately 102 million weighted average basic shares outstanding during the period.</p>
                        <p>For the full fiscal year 2025, we expect total revenue to be in the range of $582.5 million to $585.5 million, which represents a year-over-year growth rate of approximately 24% at the midpoint. Fiscal year 2025 non-GAAP operating loss is expected to be in the range of $7.5 million to $8.5 million. At the midpoint, this implies a non-GAAP operating margin of approximately negative 1%, a roughly 750 basis point improvement versus fiscal year 2024. Non-GAAP net income for the same period is expected to be in the range of $6.5 million to $7.5 million.</p>
                        <p>Fiscal year 2025 non-GAAP net income per share is expected to be $0.06 to $0.07 per share based on a full year weighted average diluted share count of approximately 108 million shares.</p>
                        <p>I'll end by reiterating Braze's commitment to providing world-class customer engagement solutions while effectively managing cost to its share profitability targets.</p>
                        <p>And with that, we'll now open the call for questions. Operator, please begin the Q&amp;A.</p>

                    <p>Bill, with Apple supporting RCS in iOS 18, have you seen any customer interest yet on RCS? And how could you see this as a channel for Braze since RCS seems more complex than SMS and it has the ability to be more personalized for individual users.</p>
                        
                </div>
            </div>
        
            <div class="speech">
                <div class="participant-name">William Magnuson</div>
                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So first, we're excited for RCS and actively preparing full support, and we're excited to share more about that at Forge in just a few weeks.</p>
                        <p>Some aspects of RCS are going to be strictly better than SMS sending even for text-only messages.</p>
                        <p>And so I think that's something that will really help marketers work through some of the additional complexity is that they can just lift and shift prior SMS strategies. And then they're actually get access to authentication and branding as a sender, they're going to get richer analytics. And then they'll also then be able to progressively leg into these new content types. And while there's going to be work to do on the Braze side both for ops because like SMS and carrier ops because of the carrier complexity, and on the go-to-market side, as we ingest what surely is going to be a dynamic pricing environment in the early innings of RCS's global rollout. Most of the R&amp;D needs to support things like composition, previewing, testing and reporting on RCS have already been done in some fashion due to our support of WhatsApp, line or other Braze zone and operated channels like content cards and in product messaging. And similarly, for any customers that are already adopting richer content formats, even if they're just in push notifications, but obviously also with WhatsApp in line. the shift over to RCS a lot</p>
                        <p>And from an R&amp;D perspective, it obviously increases the leverage that we get on that investment. And as a good reminder, the compounding benefits that Braze grants of channel support provides us as the consumer message sending landscape continues to grow more complex over time.</p>
                        <p>We're also well prepared for it with the launch of our more flexible credit model.</p>
                        <p>So if you remember, until the end of Q1, we actually used to require that customers made commitments on a country-by-country basis for SMS and MMS sending separately.</p>
                        <p>Now any customer who's actually bought the credits from Braze starting at the end of Q1 and then into Q2 where we saw a great uptake on that, both for renewals as well as new business. We'll be able to use those same credits just with conversion ratios as RCS support becomes available.</p>
                        <p>So that's definitely something to look forward to as Braze continues to launch new channels into the future, including RCS, is that the go-to-market complexity and the ability for our existing customer base to adopt them quickly to be able to as any sort of stage that involves new contracting.</p>

                    <p>Excellent. Appreciate the color. Then for Isabel, how should we think about net retention for the rest of this year? Do you feel like we're at the right level at this point? And was there any impact to this metric based on the acquisition from a year ago?</p>

                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So thanks for the question.</p>
                        <p>So I've been asked this question over the last couple of quarters of sort of when can we see the bottom here. And I think -- again, I think we're not quite yet at the bottom. And as you think about how we're guiding. Think about the guide as embedding some element of kind of continued pressure on this metric.</p>
                        <p>So I don't think we are quite stabilizing here yet. We lagged out of sort of another quarter historically that had some stronger numbers.</p>
                        <p>And so that's part of it is continuing to leg out of some of these stronger historical quarters.
Not a huge impact here from the acquisition, small percentage points, from the impact of having lapped the acquisition, but really more just lagging out of historically stronger quarters.</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Bill, maybe you touched on the legacy Marketing Cloud replacement cycle. Maybe talk about how often is AI or your road map around AI has been cited by customers in these deals as kind of a point of differentiation? And is the intensity there in terms of the displacement cycle? Are you seeing that increase recently or are people holding on more to their incumbent solution given the challenging macro?</p>
                        
                </div>
            </div>
        
            <div class="speech">
                <div class="participant-name">William Magnuson</div>
                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So I think we're seeing both attitudes depending on the posture of the company that we're working with or selling to. In some places, there are especially driven by things like vendor consolidation as well as just a bit of breathing room from slower growth rates that companies are experiencing right now. They're taking as an opportunity to go and shore up their prior foundations, embark on transformation journeys. In other places because the teams are static or there's not new projects launching and such, they're sticking with the status quo.</p>
                        <p>And so I think you're seeing both of them at play.</p>
                        <p>From an AI perspective, I think it continues to be an incredibly important part of every deal cycle. When you're going through a legacy replacement, you obviously want to make sure that the vendor that moving on to is going to be future-proofed as well, especially if you're a more traditional enterprise, it maybe only makes a change in their technology stack like this every 5 or 10 years.</p>
                        <p>And so that's -- there's a bit of a double-edged sword there in the sense that there's obviously still a lot of noise in the AI space, and it's an important part of every deal cycle, but customers are still in prospects still have a hard time getting full conviction behind it.</p>
                        <p>There's a lot of great product marketing around AI from the legacy clouds and being able to see the -- what's real from what's noise. Still very difficult for a lot of prospects and we take that on to try to take a very pragmatic approach and a very transparent approach about what's possible, what's not, where our advantages are, and we work through that with customers.</p>
                        <p>And so I think it's a complicated landscape. But I think that when we look at the long-term legacy replacement cycle, that what we're seeing is there's no meaningful new innovation or investment really going into any of these legacy Marketing Cloud offerings that compete specifically with Braze. Their eye seems to be off the ball on this from a marketing and customer engagement space, and they don't have the right foundations to be able to compete with us over the longer term. We still see them leveraging things like their ecosystem relationships through places like the GSIs or with aggressive pricing tactics.</p>
                        <p>But we feel really good about our position against legacy marketing cloud especially as we continue to look at the advantages that we have in AI adoption and AI development because of our stronger foundations around real-time capability around our comprehensive data ingestion, governance and management that we have through the Braze data platform and also the comprehensive touch points that we have across all of our channel breadth in order to, and take the outcomes of those decisions that are being made with AI and bring them to life for the customer.</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Understood. One question for Isabelle. And maybe yourself, Bill. But maybe talk about the macro environment tactically versus business last quarter. When I look at the numbers, it seems like NRR took a bigger step down this quarter sequentially.</p>
                        <p>Some of the bookings numbers RPO-based, CRPO-based seems like slowed a bit.</p>
                        <p>So wanted to hear if the macro environment, do you feel like it took a step down? Or are there some other dynamics maybe Isabelle can talk about on the deferred revenue side, which kind of sequentially seems like is more of a drag down this quarter than previous Q2?</p>
                        
                </div>
            </div>

                <div class="participant-name">Isabelle Winkles</div>
                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes. Yes, absolutely.</p>
                        <p>So on the RPO, CRPO, the thing to keep in mind is we -- there having lapped the acquisition, that is having an impact.</p>
                        <p>So having lapped the North Star acquisition, you can see that in the RPO and CRPO.</p>
                        <p>In addition, from a dollar-based net retention perspective, as I mentioned in the previous question that I answered, we legged out of some sort of higher numbers that you're seeing from historical quarters that are rolling off. And then from a billings perspective and in particular, the deferred revenue that you've specifically asked about, this metric is impacted by the contracting terms that we have with our customers, which is why it's a noisy metric, and we don't typically point people to it.</p>
                        <p>And so one quarter ago, we had a bit of a dip in the proportion of our net new business that was on annual upfront terms, which means the invoices that went out during Q2 are arguably smaller, not because the contract is necessarily smaller, but because it's more divided up into smaller increments.</p>
                        <p>And so you're seeing that play out in the change in deferred revenue on the balance sheet.</p>

                    <p>Maybe I'll ask the normalized growth question, which is let's assume we're in a similar macro environment. How do you think about some of the company-specific initiatives that you're introducing like Braze with start-ups and free trials? And then the sales and marketing productivity improvements you're making.</p>
                        <p>If you think about everything in our gate, how do you think about the potential for the business to reaccelerate over, let's say, the next 12 to 18 months?</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Great question, and we're thinking a lot about the businesses, acquisition efficiency across the different sectors. And what you're seeing in releases like the Braze for startups as well as broadly the building that we've been doing under the product-led growth umbrella, is really looking at the business over the long term and saying that we think we have a strong right to win in the commercial segments.</p>
                        <p>If you recall actually if you go back 12 months ago, we did do a reduction in the size of our sales team and a lot of that was focused on the SMB and the commercial side. .
We've since started to grow that capacity again. It's been a little bit more focused in the enterprise where we feel good about the acquisition efficiency that we've achieved there. And we obviously continue to lean into that, and that's why you're seeing the great operating income and net income results this quarter and the trajectory that we've been on there. But when we look at the SMB and the commercial side, we think there's also a strong right to win in that market. And additionally achieving higher just sheer volume of customers as well as higher levels of mind share and the 2 goals that I referenced in the prepared remarks about making Braze the premier skill set for customer engagement, and being the reference architecture from a technical perspective.</p>
                        <p>Those are both goals that we think will lead to category dominance for Braze. It leads to a lot of amazing positive feedback loops in terms our ecosystem, being able to support our future growth in a more efficient way, leading to more brand preference and skill set preference within the customer engagement practitioner community.</p>
                        <p>And so what you're seeing within those investments that we're making right now is that we're taking advantage of this time period, even though the demand environment is challenged even though the macro is in a challenging place, there's a lot of scrutiny on spend to really improve the efficiency in our foundations, and set the right stage to build those long-term competitive moats around our ecosystem, around the skill set and around our product advantage as well, obviously, as we continue to invest heavily in R&amp;D.</p>
                        <p>And so we think that the ingredients are there across both places where we have Frontier investment. And you're seeing that frontier investment as we continue to push into both like literal frontiers with new geographies as well as penetrate more deeply into various verticals, in particular, in the enterprise is we're focusing in places like travel and hospitality and financial services and looking at retail and commerce.</p>
                        <p>And so what you're seeing from Braze right now is a strong balancing of looking at the places that we have strength right now in order to drive efficient acquisition of new business, that allows us to simultaneously achieve our goals of growth and profitability while also making foundational investments to improve our future acquisition efficiency that will allow for us to achieve category dominance in customer engagement.</p>
                        <p>We know that now is not the right time to be drastically expanding an SMB sales team as an example, but being able to build out improved efficiency in that space through investments in product-led growth motions like the free trials have been super important.</p>
                        <p>And so you should expect to continue to see us balancing both the investment in foundational efficiency, the creation of new opportunities for us in the future through investment in various frontiers, whether those are geo product or vertical related as well as continuing to deepen our focus in the areas of existing strength that we have.</p>

                    <p>Yes. That makes a lot of sense. And Bill, maybe on the question of Frontiers, and specifically on product frontiers, remind us a little bit on how you're thinking about the next milestones to hit on the product road map. Not just in your core market of marketing, but also maybe more broader than that. How do you think about your journey to being even more dominant across adjacent categories over the long run as well?</p>

                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So first, I'd say in the short term, I'm just going to give another preview that we're really looking forward to Forge in a few weeks to share a lot more about the product road map. At a high level, I'm really excited about our continued leadership in the customer engagement category. The compounding gains that we're achieving as we've simultaneously expanded and enhanced our channel offerings, while also increasing the sophistication and usability, higher up the stack. And when we combine that with the Braze's data platform and augment it with our partner ecosystem, I think this is continuing to deliver more capability to be more broadly integrated into our customers technical ecosystem to be trusted for a more and more workloads.
Today, obviously, those continue to be focused within customer engagement. But customer engagement is also very broad. And even in these customers that we've grown to be 8-figure contracts over the course of the last -- over the last couple of quarters that we've talked about. Even within those customers, we still don't own every customer touch point.</p>
                        <p>And so I think there's a lot of room for us to continue to run when it comes to customer engagement.</p>
                        <p>I think it's also important to remember that the definition of customer engagement as a category has grown and expanded each year of our history. It obviously didn't exist when we first started, and has continued to take on more and more responsibility, more aspects of the product journey, more aspects of -- obviously, there's the marketing journey looking at things like performance marketing. And then just having data and optimization and the delivery of the experience and the brand promise to customers.</p>
                        <p>And so continuing to build on the performance and the stability and the reliability of Braze's underlying engine is exactly what it will take for us to be able to have that right to expand into other aspects of enterprise workloads. And we're really excited about what that means for our longer-term future potential.</p>
                        <p>But -- we also have amazing line of sight to incredible growth, I think, still within customer engagement. We're very focused on establishing a dominant position.</p>

                    <p>Our next question comes from Arjun Bhatia with William Blair.</p>

                    <p>Bill, for you. Can you touch on the Braze data platform and the role you think it might end up playing in just delivering additional value to customers? And how you might end up monetizing that and for customers that have existing cloud data warehouses? Is this meant to be a replacement? Is it complementary to that? Like what role does it play in the overarching data stack for your customers?</p>
                        
                </div>
            </div>
        
            <div class="speech">
                <div class="participant-name">William Magnuson</div>
                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So we launched the Braze data platform to serve as a platform for continued development of both our in-house data capabilities and the partner ecosystem that enhances them.</p>
                        <p>And so the goal is to ensure that all data relevant to the targeting orchestration, personalization or measurement of customer messaging can get to Braze quickly, completely and with a low total customer ownership.</p>
                        <p>And so those 3 things quickly, completely, low total cost of ownership have driven our decision-making around what we build in-house, where we go to the partner ecosystem, and then how we kind of interact with the architectures of our customers, which includes like data warehouses, CDPs, reverse ETL providers, product analytics companies, et cetera. And you can see examples of partners across all those categories within the data platform launch.</p>
                        <p>Now in order to achieve those goals across a wide range of customers requires a data platform that's simultaneously flexible and powerful while also being comprehensive and well integrated.</p>
                        <p>And so I think that when you look at the data platform today, it's not only comprehensive. It's been growing very quickly. It's been adapting really well to changes to the privacy and the security and the governance ecosystem. It's also been growing and developing as we continue to see things like the rise of the data science teams and the closer integrations that they have with customer engagement teams, moving far beyond just an analyst looking at basic reporting, which you would have expected, something like a Marketing Cloud to deliver years ago and really moving into teams where there's full on data science teams that are working with advanced statistical and machine learning models in order to enhance outcomes and continue to drive better personalization or better audience building or what have you. And that -- but that ultimately, when we look at Braze's position in that value stack, we know that value is generated through the interactions with the customers. And that's where we're going to continue to focus our pricing as we share in the value that we create for the brands that we work with when they improve the value of their customer relationships.</p>
                        <p>And so I think that we broadly see the data platform is in service to the customer engagement outcomes that we are driving for our customers. And there are aspects of it that obviously get charged for, things like our product catalogs and the advanced AI features that we're building on top of that through things like our predictive churn models, as well as item recommendations that build on top of the product catalogs. But a really big goal of the data platform is to make sure that you can get data into Braze quickly, completely and with the low total cost of ownership. And when that happens, customers adopt new use cases in Braze more quickly, they expanded new channels more comprehensively, and that continues to drive increases in their lifetime contract value and increases their stickiness with Braze.</p>

                    <p>Okay. Helpful. And then when I look at your results, I think it seems like the enterprise is doing very well. We're getting more and more 8-figure customers, your $500K customers are going up and there seem to be maybe some headwinds elsewhere in the business. When you just think about it internally from a resource allocation perspective, as it relates particularly the go-to-market, are you making any changes to maybe lean in one place over another to maybe pour fuel on the fire on the FI side? Like how are you thinking about that internally to maximize your growth potential in this macro environment?</p>
                        
                </div>
            </div>
        
            <div class="speech">
                <div class="participant-name">William Magnuson</div>
                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So I just spoke about this about that balance of pre-existing acquisition efficiency with investing into new frontiers that will give us new opportunities and strong depth and new opportunities as we move into future years, as well as investments that will foundationally, we think, improve the acquisition and see in other places.</p>
                        <p>Now acquisition efficiency has historically been stronger in our enterprise business. And while we've obviously been investing to make further improvements in that sector, and you see that in our improvements in profitability, we also think that there's a function changes in efficiency that are available to us on the lower end, and we're excited about that for our future. We've actually had a year-long focus area in product around product-led growth efforts. And you've heard me reference things like usability improvements and customer education, you obviously saw the launch of the free trials. And while we're still far from something like a self-serve credit card sign-up offering, we are making incremental steps that are compatible with our existing go-to-market engine we think are going to provide structural improvements to our efficiency there.
I also wanted to just call out that while the kind of free trial environment has an obvious benefit in the SMB side, that it's also important to remember the existence of something like a sandbox or a trial environment are increasingly table stakes for evaluations with technical stakeholders.</p>
                        <p>And so if you go to that second goal I mentioned before for category dominance of being the reference architecture from a technical perspective for customer engagement, as well as understanding that those technical stakeholders are almost always involved in enterprise buying cycles, and that has an important interplay with the current demand environment.</p>
                        <p>You've heard us mention many times that deal scrutiny is higher in this macro, there's more stakeholders. And frequently, what that means is that they're technical stakeholders. Similarly, in order to win something where you have a vendor consolidation play or a legacy replacement cycle, that also involves those technical stakeholders. And they're simply not interested in sticking to the legacy enterprise sales model that disallowed kicking the tires before a contract was signed.</p>
                        <p>And so Braze's product historically has not made that available. And in many ways, the legacy Marketing Clouds do not either. But we know that Braze's product has the technical excellence to satisfy those stakeholders. And we -- but we historically haven't had a great way to prove that to them and now we do.</p>
                        <p>So we're excited about what that means to our ability to differentiate in sales cycles against copycat competitors who've created shallow copies of us. And that ability to go deeper than the demo and slide decks, we think, is a really great advantage for us. Because we've always lived by the adage of doing what you say you're going to do. And we think that the speed, the reliability and the performance that Braze delivers is -- we do what it says on the tin, if you will, pick your analogy, I think that we're just reliable, and we have got a lot of integrity in what we sell and how we position it. And this is something that will only help us when we both look at it from a multiple stakeholder buying cycle in the enterprise as well as that volume play on the lower end and achieving structural improvement and acquisition efficiency within the commercial segments.</p>

                    <p>A couple of follow-ups, actually, Bill, to some of the answers you just gave Arjun.</p>
                        <p>As I think about kind of the positioning for Braze, like in many ways, I think of you guys is acting a lot like a CDP for customers, right? Just kind of obviates the need for a third-party vendor to be in there. But then I hear the list of like the launch partners for the data platform, and there are a number of CDP guys in there. Can you just help me anything like when a customer might need a CDP? when they might not like what dictates that difference? I mean, I would think that CDP what might be one of those point solutions that you guys could consolidate.</p>
                        <p>So just help me think through that?</p>
                        
                </div>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So I think that it's important to realize how when thinking through that, how diversified Braze's customer base is and that applies across verticals, across geos, across levels of [ position ], but also across the technical ecosystems that we integrate into.</p>
                        <p>And so there are -- if you take a step back from the use case of a CDP. In many cases, what it's trying to do is clean up the complexity of a data ecosystem. And there's a lot of places where that complexity can come from. Maybe people are trying to sync together a lot of third-party data sources that are coming in with less than deterministic identity. They're trying to bring in GMP audience and cookie data, maybe they've got holistic-based matching or other of data science and machine learning groups that are doing probabilistic targeting and things like that. And those are all kind of data signals that can, in many ways, pollute a first-party data set, and it's helpful to have a separate system to be able to keep those things managed and separated. Similarly, if you look at within the retail space or within QSR, a lot of times, there might be kind of legacy deployments of old POS systems that are not going to be upgraded for a very long time. Maybe there's old part of a data warehousing ecosystem or a lot of heterogeneity across technology choices being made across the multinational, those are all places where complexity can come into a data ecosystem. And a CDP, whether it's one off the shelf and one of the ones that we've highlighted as partners or it's something that a company would call a CDP and build on their own on top of AWS services or on top of data warehouses like Snowflake or Databricks or what have you, at the end of the day, what it's trying to do is kind of manage and clean up complexity.</p>
                        <p>And so there's a lot that the Braze data platform can do to help manage that complexity within the customer engagement sphere. But there's also a lot of other operations and kind of responsibilities that exist across products and customers support and across other areas of performance marketing and such, where the Braze data platform doesn't aim to kind of fully integrate in all those places as well as just the simple reality that a lot of these -- a lot of the data ecosystem has a high level of stickiness. And in many cases, it's better to be able to adapt and connect to those so that we can get data into Braze quickly, completely, reliably, low total cost of ownership. I went back to those goals. We want to make sure that those things are accomplished, so that can deliver messages to customers and so that they can be well personalized.</p>
                        <p>And so that they can be highly responsive to new user actions or changes in the context around them, changes in inventory or what have you, we want to be able to just get that data into Braze, as it's generated, as it changes so that we can act on those insights.</p>
                        <p>And so what you're seeing in the Braze data platform is really us being in control, vertically integrating a lot of aspects of this, but still also understanding that there's a lot of sources of complexity out there. At the end of the day, what we want to do is deliver great customer experiences and be able to really own this customer engagement space. And that data platform is a very important aspect of that, but so is the partner ecosystem with...</p>

                        <p>Okay. That makes a ton of sense. That's a helpful explanation. And then just going back to the free trial, like can you give me some color on the depth of platform capabilities that a trial customer might be realized in 14 days? I mean it's a narrow window. When you talk about technical decision makers, just trying to think about the potential effectiveness of that program?</p>

                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So we've already been seeing this actually because we had -- before the launch of the free trial what we refer to as a guided sandbox experience, which has allowed for technical teams to go in and build implementations against our APIs, ensure that our SDKs are going to work within their product, be able to just send test messages and test things end to end.</p>
                        <p>I think this is a competitive space where there's a lot of noise, there's a lot of copycats out there. It's easy to copy product marketing. And there's just not a lot of trust for technical teams buying marketing software.</p>
                        <p>And so what this is, is we're really just saying, "Hey, we stand behind that this product does what we say it's going to do." And that there's strong integrity and reliability and high performance available. It's pretty easy for people to say that something is real time. And when we look at the definition of real time across the environment, it varies from milliseconds to 24 hours.</p>
                        <p>In terms of what people say, and a lot of times a lot of our competitor products have a totally different latency depending on what part of the product you're using as an example. And I think that all buyers have just had a hard time getting conviction, especially when you have a premium price product like Braze does that -- and other people can easily kind of clone our messaging that just letting the product stand on its own has really benefited in particular, those technical stakeholders are evaluating the product.</p>
                        <p>And so -- it's not that you need to run a long-running campaign over the course of 60-days and prove to yourself that SMS marketing works or something like that as an example.</p>
                        <p>I think that customers, in general, understand the value of these channels, it's really about [indiscernible] through the noise that's in the competitive marketplace and us being able to really just show it to them instead of needing to do these things that are higher lips with our solutions consultants or with things like guided sandboxes and what have you, we're really just letting the product shine on its own.</p>

                    <p>Yes. Thanks for the question.</p>
                        <p>So if we rewind the clock to Q1, we had mentioned that we were experiencing a bit of a low for the year in Q1 related primarily to some concentration of premium message volume that was happening during that quarter.</p>
                        <p>So what I would say is the achievement that we had in Q2 in terms of improvement, I think we definitely overachieved even on sort of our own internal expectations, and we're very, very pleased with how quickly we were able to capitalize on some of the efficiencies that we put in this.</p>
                        <p>So I -- what I mentioned in Q1 is look for us to kind of increase quarter-over-quarter.</p>
                        <p>I think that the achievement that we have in Q2 here has surpassed that.</p>
                        <p>And so while we believe that everything that we've put into place is sustainable, I would not look for that number to continue to increase certainly at the same clip that we experienced sequentially from Q1 to Q2.</p>
                        <p>So I definitely think about that in the context of the models that you put into place. But we're very pleased with the results that we had vis-a-vis the margin improvement between Q1 and Q2.</p>

                    <p>Nice quarter here. Bill, you mentioned very briefly, I think it was to Ryan's question about your new credit strategy within premium messaging platforms. It's only been a couple of months since you made that change. I guess what are you seeing across buyer behavior in trying to buy and hopefully expand channel usage into different countries so far with the new strategy?</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes. I would say that other than some of the noise that you would expect just in the early innings of it as we had some deal cycles where people were already projecting their country volumes, then we showed up with new credits model to be able to sell them, and the training that we had to do for our go-to-market organization and such that those -- that little bit of noise, notwithstanding that it's just been great [indiscernible] well received by customers.</p>
                        <p>I think it's a win-win-win change for us, and I've been really happy that we've been able to deploy more quickly.
Even more excited about the fact that as we launch new channels moving into the future, and I mentioned RCS, WhatsApp is obviously going to be changing. We talked a lot about that on the last quarter's call, the bringing line into general availability. We've got active centers doing that sending line messages in Japan and beta right now, and so we're excited for that to launch. All these things just get easier launch. They're easier to sell as we move into the flexible credits model.</p>
                        <p>We also think that it's going to be beneficial from an unused entitlements perspective, we've spoken the last few quarters about how one of the sources  of churn that we've seen is that a lot of the contracts, particularly those that were signed during the 0 interest rate environment included entitlements that were purchased with very optimistic or like kind of aggressive purchasing of entitlements that people have been rightsizing. And with the flexible credits model, we think that customers are going to be able to purchase more -- more closely to what they're going to buy because they don't need to make those predictions with error -- margins of error on every individual channel. But also over the course of a contract length, we will even if there strategies change or they ended up purchasing more, they didn't grow as much as they expected.</p>
                        <p>We will be progressively adding more and more ways for them to use those credits over the course of the contract length.</p>
                        <p>And so we think it's just going to be much healthier position as we continue to move into the future.</p>

                    <p>Isabelle, I don't want to overlook the first quarter profitability here 6 months ahead of our model, fantastic to see. My question really is around new customer activity. It sounds robust even in a tough macro. How is the vendor consolidation appetite impacted the size of lands? I know historically, you'd land may be smaller with a large brand and then gain share over time. Is that starting to change now? Are you seeing maybe larger land opportunities show up in pipeline just given the legacy replacement narrative you're talking about?</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes. I mean it continues to be a bit of a mix, and our lands are -- we're definitely incentivizing our sales force just to land.</p>
                        <p>And so there's no incentive to kind of make the land as big as possible. We certainly don't want to try to force product down to our buyers. We want to make sure that we're allowing the buyers to kind of grow naturally and have them put together product sets that make sense for them over the long term. But we -- I wouldn't necessarily say that there's been any directional trend that is sustained or meaningful to kind of change that.</p>

                    <p>I guess, either one of you guys, you just -- could you touch on the relative strength across verticals, which ones are healthier, which ones maybe seeing more pressure or just any notable change in demand across any particular vertical? And then it seems like international growth has been a bit stronger than U.S. Could you kind of compare and contrast domestic versus international and why international may be on a bit of a stronger trend?</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So a few things there.</p>
                        <p>First, we add more expansionary investments into new geos globally, and so we would expect to see that picking up. And you've seen it kind of ticking up a percentage point at a time here or there, and a lot of that just reflects us moving into markets that we weren't in before and being able to kind of rapidly grow those at faster rates than the more core business.</p>
                        <p>You also do see that in reflection in some other places, like for instance, you may have seen in Salesforce's results, they actually saw faster growth across EMEA than they have in the United States faster growth in Japan. We're seeing some similar geographic trends there. There are not big differences from place to place.</p>
                        <p>I think broadly, the macro is under pressure everywhere. But we are seeing some pockets of strength, and we're investing accordingly in terms of both our event strategy as well as our go-to-market resource deployment there.</p>
                        <p>Within the Braze's customer base, things like consumables and CPG have been on the rise for us. I mentioned that a little bit before. We've also seen good increased penetration into financial services and travel and hospitality, as we continue to move through the adoption cycle there. We've obviously had great progress from a financial services perspective for many years with a lot of the startups in the FinTech world, but starting to break into more traditional banks and insurance companies and credit unions and other parts of that Financial Services universe has been great for us.</p>
                        <p>I think that's less a reflection of the relative strengths of those verticals and really more of how we've been prioritizing our own go-to-market, and you should continue to expect to see a very diversified expansion in Braze's customer base. But going back to that acquisition efficiency point that I spoke about earlier, we are being very choiceful about where we are investing our efforts in places where we're developing new frontiers. It's obviously more expensive to get those first reference customers in a given new vertical or a given new geo, than it is to leverage those reference customers to go deeper, penetrate more deeply into a vertical where we already have the proof points and the case studies.</p>
                        <p>And so what we've been doing is just making sure that we've got a good healthy balance of that so that we're taking advantage of those preexisting areas of strength in order to grow efficiently. We'll also reinvesting into those frontiers, whether those are geo or vertical or use case oriented.</p>

                        <p>Just to build last question on international. Is there any meaningful difference in the land versus the expand side, international versus domestic? And then when you look at sort of the international customers, how does sort of their buying propensity compared to the U.S. market in terms of the willingness to replace legacy systems?</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes, a few things there.</p>
                        <p>First, I think that the land and expand is more correlated with the customer size.</p>
                        <p>You're much more likely to land in a narrow use case in the enterprise just because of the complexity of those organizations and a lot of the kind of the incumbent advantages and just simple things like corporate politics and what have you, whereas in a smaller company, it's more available to come in and just kind of fully transform an organization all at once. When we look at the -- when we look at the individual markets, there are some changes in behavior that result from just the adoption of different channels in those places. It tends to be the case of the developing world, as an example, is less reliant on e-mail, and they use things like WhatsApp and other sorts of text-based messaging a lot more reliably. When you look at markets like the U.S. and Europe, obviously, those are places that have very mature e-mail markets and a big part of that is because consumers adopt and use e-mail, and it's just a very effective channel. From an enterprise perspective as well, we definitely see things where I think the West -- it tends to kind of start in the West Coast of the United States and move East when you look at things like willingness to adopt new technology, and that includes kind of hopping over the Atlantic.</p>
                        <p>And so -- some of the buyer trends that we saw in Silicon Valley tech companies several years ago, we're now starting to see in more conservative industries and more kind of conservative parts of the world. And we do a great job, I think, of transferring the learnings across verticals and across time horizons depending on where different parts of the economy are in terms of their transformation or to a there ways of [indiscernible] customer engagement. It also sometimes literally includes like humans and their skill sets and their ways of working and their ways of structuring team, moving from startups to enterprises from some geos to another from one vertical that tends to be more innovative to moving into places that are more [indiscernible] from competition and move more slowly.</p>
                        <p>And so get a lot of benefit out of seeing simultaneously a lot of different parts of the economy across those splits and they behave in different ways. But we try to make that a strength because we've seen those movies play out before. And if we can effectively bring those learnings into new areas we're able to leverage our global footprint as a massive competitive strength in order to be more efficient in those places.</p>

                    <p>Yes. Across the 3 of them actually, different stories in each place.</p>
                        <p>One of them, primarily driven by geo-expansion, and another one driven by expansion into new parts of the business and the third really driven by more channel expansion and the growth of existing kind of -- of existing new projects.</p>
                        <p>And so I think even within that, without going into a tremendous amount of detail you see a great example of the diversification of Braze's opportunities. And within all 3 of them, there's actually still a lot of room to run.</p>
                        <p>So I think we're excited about them, both as a testament to the comprehensiveness of Braze's offering and the value that we deliver as well as the opportunity that still lies ahead of us.</p>

                    <p>I guess, around the free trials, any impact that you're expecting to have on overall deal sizes for new customers? And then maybe more importantly, on the expansionary capabilities within existing customers. Do you think this speeds things up or just maybe gets into other areas and use cases that maybe were a little hesitant to spend budget when they can get their hands on the product immediately and then make a decision?</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So I think -- we're not expecting it to have any sort of material change in average sale prices because as I mentioned before, things like our sandbox environment have actually been more utilized in enterprise deal cycles than they were in commercial deal cycles.</p>
                        <p>And so -- over the longer term, maybe that puts some downward pressure on it as we see more volume kind of come into the commercial side. But we're not anticipating or expecting any sort of big change there. And then I think within other organizations, yes, we've seen some great proof points of this so far as we've moved product-led growth motions into some other parts of the product.</p>
                        <p>So as we've allowed things like -- we have a freemium model on our product catalogs offering.</p>
                        <p>We have a trial option for Content Cards that allows for customers to -- existing customers to test that out.</p>
                        <p>And so we've already seen some great examples where being able to trial new parts of the product allows for a customer to be -- allows for us to be able to expand into an existing customer more efficiently and more quickly.</p>
                        <p>And so we're certainly expecting a lot of those same things to be at play with the overall free trial. And then also, I think there's a lot of ancillary benefits to the work that gets done around this. The usability, the kind of self-serve onboarding, there's a bunch of requirements to be able to build a great free trial environment. That are also going to just make our integration and onboarding more efficient. We think it's going to improve customer satisfaction. It's going to speed up those integrations, so that customers get up and running more quickly, more easily. We think that will also benefit our partner ecosystem as well. Remember that a lot of our integrations and onboardings are delivered by the partner ecosystem. And when those agencies are going to be able to focus more on new campaign ideas and building out new content rather than the kind of early ramp of the onboarding and of the product that a customer will be able to do in a more self-serve manner. That just helps all boats rise from that perspective.</p>

                    <p>A quick one for either one1 of you guys here. How do you expand more data capabilities and with your platform being entrenched in data? We refer [ some anecdotes ] of you winning some deals within enterprises data budgets or data initiatives. Is that something you're seeing a trend? Or are those more one-offs? Or how can we think about potentially winning deals via data budgets?</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So when I talk about the total cost of ownership of the kind of data footprint, that is an important part of it. And while these things are maybe bifurcated in certain organizations. When you look at that end goal of -- I need to talk to my customers, I want to deliver great customer engagement to them. That includes purchasing in order to get data into Braze, as well as being able to actually deliver those messages.</p>
                        <p>And so I think that those budgets are usually pretty co-located. But you're also seeing in that anecdote and in that evidence, you're also seeing the importance of the technical stakeholders and a lot of these buying decisions.</p>
                        <p>And so -- not only are they involved in them as stakeholders, sometimes the budgets are coming out of product groups or coming out of engineering groups. And that's why we've been talking about the free trials a lot, but there's a lot that we've done in order make sure that we are kind of speaking to and delivering to those technical buyers, whether they're data engineering or product over the last several years, we think it's a really big advantage that Braze will have in the long term, and it's one that's frankly very hard to catch up on.</p>
                        <p>As you -- as everyone is aware, we've got very noisy competitive landscape. And I think that Braze stands alone in terms of the stability and the performance at scale that we can deliver, the comprehensiveness of the APIs, the different abstraction layers that we expose up and down our stack to technical groups to be able to build with Braze instead of kind of starting down [indiscernible] versus decision that a lot of companies grapple with. We really have leaned into that build with Braze's message over the years, and it's been highly effective in the organizations where technical stakeholders are engaged.</p>
                        <p>And so I would take that as a really positive sign. When you're seeing that, that engineering stakeholders are opening their wallets in order to buy Braze, you don't see that happened with bidding technology software very often. And the fact that you're seeing that with Braze is just a strong testament to what we can deliver those organizations.</p>

                    <p>Any noticeable change in the channel mix that you're seeing out there or you're expecting in the second half as the international channels or international business continues to grow faster? And also, is the macro driving the channel mix back towards more lower-priced channels like e-mail?</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes. I mean, obviously, WhatsApp is a channel that we introduced in the last couple of quarters.</p>
                        <p>So we're seeing healthy uptake there of that channel.</p>
                        <p>I think overall, across the channel mix, we're not seeing sort of meaningful shift among them.</p>
                        <p>You'll continue to see more volumes across the marginally lower cost channels with then kind of personally lower volumes as the cost structure increases. I don't anticipate that, that would change over time. But as we introduce new channels, of course, you will see those start to mix into the totals.</p>

                <div class="content">
                    <p>Yes. And I do think to your question about marginal cost of different channels.</p>
                        <p>We have seen across the board a lot of customers just rationalizing what channels they're using and what places.</p>
                        <p>I think it's a little bit less of a concern around marketing use cases because the marginal cost of e-mail or SMS compared to performance advertising, as an example. They're both a lot lower than performance marketing. But -- and I think where you're seeing optimizations like that happen more often are on more utility volumes like a 2-factor of code, definitely, a brand would rather send that to you over e-mail or in their app rather than delivering it over SMS, which costs them a lot more. But remember that we don't have a lot of those utility volumes in our customer base already because we really tried to stay upmarket and the more premium use cases where we're really delivering value to the enhancement of the customer relationship.</p>

                    <p>This is Taylor McGinnis. Isabelle, since the NRR number you report is on a trailing 12-month basis, it's tough to get insight into what might have happened in the quarter.</p>
                        <p>So can you provide more color in terms of the in-period NRR that you might have seen? And if there were any changes in gross churn? And then as that relates to the renewal base in the quarter, were there any larger optimizations or slower net upsells to flag that might have weighed on that?</p>

                    <p>Yes.</p>
                        <p>So as I mentioned in some of the questions that I answered earlier, some of what you're seeing is the roll off.</p>
                        <p>You correctly identified the trailing 12-month basis.</p>
                        <p>So some of it is the roll-off of sort of that prior quarter that we lost in the 4-quarter trailing. I would say that from a gross churn perspective, there was not anything unexpected in Q2. Churn does continue to remain at a level that is more elevated than we would like from a sustained basis.</p>
                        <p>So I would say the continued compounding of that is mixing into the subsequent quarters and then we're obviously losing some of the historically stronger quarters.</p>
                        <p>So I think that's what you're seeing in Q2. Nothing abnormal versus what we were expecting or had embedded in our own guide that happened in Q2.</p>

          Upload a CSV, TSV or Excel file of favorites to add (max 5 MB). We'll try to detect columns of tickers, company names, CIKs or CUSIPs. It doesn't
          matter if the file has a header row or not, what order the columns are in, or if you include additional columns that are exported from another system.
        </p>
        <p>
          If you want to organize your favorites into folders, then include a header row, with a column named <strong>Folder</strong> to
          specify a folder for each favorite, e.g. (in this example, the name column is optional):
          </p><pre>  Name,Ticker,Folder
  Apple Inc,AAPL,Watchlist
  Tesla Inc,TSLA,Watchlist
  Microsoft Inc,MSFT,Portfolio</pre>
        <p></p>
        <p>
          If you want to upload a list of favorite searches, then include a header row, with a <strong>Name</strong> column for the search
          terms, and a <strong>Type</strong> column with the value <em>search</em>, along with an optional <strong>Folder</strong> column e.g.
          </p><pre>  Type,Folder,Name
  search,Future Tech,bitcoin OR cryptocurrency
  search,Future Tech,S-1 drones
  search,Green Energy,TSLA "renewable energy"</pre>
