| [Operator Instructions] I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Amit Berry. Amit Berry Senior Director of Investor Relations Good afternoon, and welcome to C3 AI's Earnings Call for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026, which ended on January 31, 2026. My name is Amit Berry, and I lead Investor Relations at C3 AI. With me on the call today are Stephen Ehikian, Chief Executive Officer; and Hitesh Lath, Chief Financial Officer. After the market closed today, we issued a press release with details regarding our third quarter results, which can be accessed through the Investor Relations section of our website at ir.c3.ai. | [μ§νμ μλ΄] μ΄μ μ€λμ λ°νλ₯Ό λ§‘μμ£Όμ€ μλ° λ² λ¦¬λκ» λ§μ΄ν¬λ₯Ό λκΈ°κ² μ΅λλ€. μλ° λ² λ¦¬ ν¬μμ κ΄κ³ λ΄λΉ μ무 μλ νμΈμ. 2026λ 1μ 31μΌλ‘ λ§κ°λ 2026 νκ³μ°λ 3λΆκΈ° C3 AI μ€μ λ°ν 컨νΌλ°μ€ μ½μ μ€μ κ²μ νμν©λλ€. μ λ μλ° λ² λ¦¬μ΄λ©°, C3 AIμμ ν¬μμ κ΄κ³λ₯Ό μ΄κ΄νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ€λ 컨νΌλ°μ€ μ½μλ μ€ν°λΈ μνν€μ μ΅κ³ κ²½μμ(CEO)μ νν μ¬ λΌμ€ μ΅κ³ μ¬λ¬΄μ± μμ(CFO)κ° ν¨κ»νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ€λ μ₯ λ§κ° ν, μ ν¬λ 3λΆκΈ° μ€μ μ λν μμΈν λ΄μ©μ λ΄μ 보λμλ£λ₯Ό λ°°ν¬νμ΅λλ€. μ΄ μλ£λ μ ν¬ μΉμ¬μ΄νΈ ir.c3.aiμ ν¬μμ κ΄κ³ μΉμ μμ νμΈνμ€ μ μμ΅λλ€. |

| Please be advised that we may or may not continue to provide this additional detail in the future. And with that, let me turn the call over to Stephen. Stephen Ehikian Chief Executive Officer Thank you, Amit, and good afternoon, everyone. Our results this quarter were clearly inadequate and well below our objectives. We failed to close business as planned and in particular, our performance in North America and Europe was disappointing. I came to this company 2 quarters ago after 12 years building AI companies, followed by a fastening tenure leading a U.S. government agency, deploying AI and fighting fraud, waste and abuse. | ν₯ν μ΄ μΆκ°μ μΈ μΈλΆ μ 보λ₯Ό κ³μ μ 곡ν μ§ μ¬λΆλ νμ λμ§ μμμμ μλ €λ립λλ€. κ·ΈλΌ, μ€ν°λΈμκ² λ§μ΄ν¬λ₯Ό λκΈ°κ² μ΅λλ€. **μ€ν°λΈ μνν€μ (Stephen Ehikian) μ΅κ³ κ²½μμ** μλ―ΈνΈλ, κ°μ¬ν©λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ¬λ¬λΆ, μ’μ μ€νμ λλ€. μ΄λ² λΆκΈ° μ€μ μ λΆλͺ ν λ―Έν‘νμΌλ©°, μ ν¬ λͺ©νμΉμ ν¨μ¬ λͺ» λ―Έμ³€μ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ κ³ννλ μ¬μ μ μ±μ¬μν€μ§ λͺ»νκ³ , νΉν λΆλ―Έμ μ λ½μμμ μ€μ μ΄ μ€λ§μ€λ¬μ μ΅λλ€. μ λ 12λ κ° AI κΈ°μ μ ꡬμΆν κ²½νκ³Ό, λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆ κΈ°κ΄μμ AIλ₯Ό λμ νκ³ μ¬κΈ°, λλΉ, λ¨μ©μ ν΄μΉνλ μ€μν μκΈ°λ₯Ό μ±κ³΅μ μΌλ‘ μνν ν 2λΆκΈ° μ μ μ΄ νμ¬μ ν©λ₯νμ΅λλ€. |
| I joined with the expectation that there is an opportunity for C3 AI to win in enterprise AI. Over the past 6 months, I spent nearly all of my time visiting customers, prospects, government agencies, partners and our employees and dealing with market participants and investors. What I consistently hear is that every CEO is making AI a top strategic priority, and they want to realize measurable economic value from it. That is exactly what our products deliver. That said, it became clear to me that our cost structure was simply too high, and we were not organized correctly for the opportunity. | μ λ C3 AIκ° μν°νλΌμ΄μ¦ AI λΆμΌμμ μ λλ₯Ό μ°¨μ§ν κΈ°νκ° μλ€λ κΈ°λκ°μΌλ‘ ν©λ₯νμ΅λλ€. μ§λ 6κ°μ λμ, μ λ κ±°μ λͺ¨λ μκ°μ κ³ κ°, μ μ¬ κ³ κ°, μ λΆ κΈ°κ΄, ννΈλμ¬, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ ν¬ μ§μλ€μ λ°©λ¬Ένκ³ μμ₯ μ°Έμ¬μ λ° ν¬μμλ€κ³Ό μν΅νλ λ° λ³΄λμ΅λλ€. μ κ° κΎΈμ€ν λ£λ μ΄μΌκΈ°λ λͺ¨λ CEOκ° AIλ₯Ό μ΅μ°μ μ λ΅ κ³Όμ λ‘ μΌκ³ μμΌλ©°, AIλ‘λΆν° μΈ‘μ κ°λ₯ν κ²½μ μ κ°μΉλ₯Ό μ€ννκΈ°λ₯Ό μνλ€λ κ²μ λλ€. κ·Έκ²μ΄ λ°λ‘ μ ν¬ μ νμ΄ μ 곡νλ κ°μΉμ λλ€. νμ§λ§ μ λ μ ν¬μ λΉμ© κ΅¬μ‘°κ° λ¨μν λ무 λμκ³ , μ΄ κΈ°νλ₯Ό μν΄ μ¬λ°λ₯΄κ² μ‘°μ§λμ΄ μμ§ μλ€λ μ μ λΆλͺ ν μκ² λμμ΅λλ€. |
| I have assessed the business with the management team, and we have built an exacting execution plan with 5 strategic initiatives. First, we are immediately rightsizing our cost structure and reducing our cash burn. Second, we are flattening our sales organization, realigning our strongest sales personnel with those sales leaders who are proven, who now report directly to me. Third, in product, we are focusing on those product areas where we have clear market leadership, a demonstrated track record of success and where we deliver fast economic value to our customers. | κ²½μμ§κ³Ό ν¨κ» μ¬μ

| These include AI and automation across a business value chain, asset performance, supply chain optimization and procurement for industries such as energy, manufacturing, health care and public sector including defense, intelligence and government services. Fourth, we are focusing our sales motion to prioritize large-scale enterprise-wide transformations with accelerated proof of value with a concerted focus on bookings and RPO. And fifth, we are increasing the velocity of development and have fundamentally reengineered the way we design and deliver our product offerings. | μ¬κΈ°μλ λΉμ¦λμ€ κ°μΉ μ¬μ¬ μ λ°μ AI λ° μλν, μμ° μ±κ³Ό, 곡κΈλ§ μ΅μ ν λ° μ‘°λ¬μ΄ ν¬ν¨λλ©°, μλμ§, μ μ‘°, ν¬μ€μΌμ΄ λ° κ΅λ°©, μ 보, μ λΆ μλΉμ€λ₯Ό ν¬ν¨ν 곡곡 λΆλ¬Έκ³Ό κ°μ μ°μ μ λμμΌλ‘ ν©λλ€. λ·μ§Έ, λΉμ¬λ μμ£Ό λ° RPO(μμ¬ μ΄ν μ무)μ λν μ§μ€μ μΈ λ Έλ ₯μ ν΅ν΄ κ°μΉ μ μ¦μ κ°μννλ λκ·λͺ¨ μ μ¬μ νμ μ μ°μ μνλλ‘ μμ νλμ μ§μ€νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ€μ―μ§Έ, λΉμ¬λ κ°λ° μλλ₯Ό λμ΄κ³ μμΌλ©°, μ ν μ 곡 λ°©μμ μ€κ³νκ³ μ λ¬νλ λ°©μμ κ·Όλ³Έμ μΌλ‘ μ¬μ€κ³νμ΅λλ€. |
| In the past 5 weeks, I have restructured products, engineering, sales, marketing and customer services to leverage state-of-the-art Agentic AI across these business entities to dramatically increase the productivity of our people. In many cases, by up to 100 times -- for example, in sales, we are leveraging Agentic AI to generate customer-specific, product-specific, benefit-specific sales proposals at an order of magnitude faster and higher quality than previous pipeline generation technologies. In marketing, we are leveraging Agentic AI to design, develop and redeploy our website. This process previously took 9 to 12 months and many millions of dollars. It will now take weeks. | μ§λ 5μ£Ό λμ, μ λ μ ν, μμ§λμ΄λ§, μμ

| Additionally, in products and engineering, we are now leveraging Agentic coding tools, including claude code to increase the productivity of our people and the quality of our platform, AI applications and Agentic AI workflows and by up to 2 orders of magnitude. Considering these productivity enhancements, my management team and I have identified expense reductions of $135 million in non-GAAP operating expenses in the coming year. Headcount-related changes are $60 million, which represents approximately a 26% reduction in headcount. | λν, μ ν λ° μμ§λμ΄λ§ λΆλ¬Έμμλ νμ¬ Claude Codeλ₯Ό ν¬ν¨ν μμ΄μ νΈ κΈ°λ° μ½λ© λꡬλ₯Ό νμ©νμ¬ μ§μλ€μ μμ°μ±κ³Ό νλ«νΌ, AI μ ν리μΌμ΄μ λ° μμ΄μ νΈ κΈ°λ° AI μν¬νλ‘μ°μ νμ§μ μ΅λ λ μλ¦Ώμ κ·λͺ¨λ‘ ν₯μμν€κ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ¬ν μμ°μ± ν₯μμ κ³ λ €νμ¬, μ μ μ κ²½μμ§μ λ΄λ μ λΉμΌλ°νκ³κΈ°μ€(Non-GAAP) μμ λΉμ©μμ 1μ΅ 3,500λ§ λ¬λ¬μ λΉμ© μ κ°μ‘μ νμ νμ΅λλ€. μ΄ μ€ μΈλ ₯ κ΄λ ¨ λ³κ²½ μ¬νμ 6μ²λ§ λ¬λ¬μ΄λ©°, μ΄λ μ½ 26%μ μΈλ ₯ κ°μΆμ μλ―Έν©λλ€. |
| All workforce-related changes tied to this restructuring are now substantially complete and we will continue to evaluate additional nonemployee expense reductions as necessary to attain profitability. Yes, we have fewer people, but I'm expecting productivity of our business functions to increase multifold across the board. To be clear, these actions will not impact our ability to serve our customers. And in fact, they will increase our ability to serve. We have taken a measured approach to ensure we preserve critical capabilities while substantially improving quality and speed of execution and value delivery. | μ΄λ² ꡬ쑰쑰μ μ λ°λ₯Έ λͺ¨λ μΈλ ₯ μ‘°μ μ μ΄μ μ€μ§μ μΌλ‘ μλ£λμμΌλ©°, μμ΅μ± λ¬μ±μ μν΄ νμμ λ°λΌ μΆκ°μ μΈ λΉμ§μ λΉμ© μ κ° λ°©μμ κ³μ κ²ν ν κ²μ λλ€. λ€, μΈλ ₯μ μ€μμ§λ§, μ ν¬ μ¬μ κΈ°λ₯μ μμ°μ±μ΄ μ λ°μ μΌλ‘ μ λ°° μ¦κ°ν κ²μΌλ‘ κΈ°λνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λΆλͺ ν λ§μλ리μλ©΄, μ΄λ¬ν μ‘°μΉλ€μ κ³ κ° μλΉμ€ μ 곡 λ₯λ ₯μ μν₯μ λ―ΈμΉμ§ μμ κ²μ λλ€. μ€νλ € μλΉμ€ μ 곡 λ₯λ ₯μ ν₯μμν¬ κ²μ λλ€. μ ν¬λ ν΅μ¬ μλμ μ μ§νλ©΄μ μ€νμ νμ§κ³Ό μλ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κ°μΉ μ λ¬μ μ€μ§μ μΌλ‘ κ°μ νκΈ° μν΄ μ μ€ν μ κ·Όλ²μ ννμ΅λλ€. |
| With a more agile company, we are empowering employees to execute with ownership and speed as we concentrate resources on our highest value strategic priorities. As we move forward, we'll be disciplined about taking additional costs out of the business across all functions by applying AI directly to our operations, including leveraging our own technology to automate work and simplify processes. I'm doing this in engineering. I'm doing this in marketing. I'm doing this in F&A and in all aspects of the business. I've also implemented a series of targeted changes to increase velocity across the business. | λμ± λ―Όμ²©ν μ‘°μ§μΌλ‘μ, κ°μ₯ κ°μΉ μλ μ λ΅μ μ°μ μμμ μμμ μ§μ€νλ©° μ§μλ€μ΄ μ£ΌμΈμμκ³Ό μλλ₯Ό κ°μ§κ³ μ 무λ₯Ό μνν μ μλλ‘ κΆνμ λΆμ¬νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. ν₯νμλ μΆκ° λΉμ© μ κ°μ μν΄ AIλ₯Ό μ΄μ μ λ°μ μ§μ μ μ©νκ³ , μ체 κΈ°μ μ νμ©νμ¬ μ 무λ₯Ό μλννλ©° νλ‘μΈμ€λ₯Ό κ°μννλ λ± μ μ¬μ μΌλ‘ μ격ν λΉμ© κ΄λ¦¬λ₯Ό μΆμ§ν κ²μ λλ€. μ λ μ΄λ₯Ό μμ§λμ΄λ§, λ§μΌν , μ¬λ¬΄ λ° νκ³(F&A) λΆλ¬ΈλΏλ§ μλλΌ μ¬μ μ λͺ¨λ μΈ‘λ©΄μμ μΆμ§νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λν, μ¬μ μ λ°μ μλλ₯Ό λμ΄κΈ° μν΄ μΌλ ¨μ λͺ©ν μ§ν₯μ λ³νλ₯Ό μννμ΅λλ€. |
| In sales, I have flattened the organization with sales leadership now reporting directly to me. This change removes friction and increases accountability, allowing us to respond with greater speed to customers and more effectively align resources around market opportunities. My goal is to instill greater sales discipline enforce rigorous upfront qualification, demonstrate proof of value quickly and enable our teams to think bigger as they engage CXOs with a clear value-driven narrative. Over the past 6 months, I have been deeply engaged in the federal business and have changed the way we operate. | μμ λΆλ¬Έμμλ μ‘°μ§μ μνννμ¬, μμ 리λμμ΄ μ΄μ μ μκ² μ§μ λ³΄κ³ νλλ‘ λ³κ²½νμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ¬ν λ³νλ λ§μ°°μ μ€μ΄κ³ μ± μμ±μ κ°ννμ¬, κ³ κ°μκ² λ λΉ λ₯΄κ² λμνκ³ μμ₯ κΈ°νμ λ§μΆ° μμμ λμ± ν¨κ³Όμ μΌλ‘ λ°°μΉν μ μκ² ν©λλ€. μ λͺ©νλ μμ κ·μ¨μ λμ± κ°ννκ³ , μ격ν μ¬μ κ²μ¦μ μννλ©°, κ°μΉλ₯Ό μ μνκ² μ μ¦νκ³ , μ°λ¦¬ νμ΄ λͺ νν κ°μΉ μ€μ¬μ μμ¬λ₯Ό κ°μ§κ³ CXO(μ΅κ³ κ²½μμ§)λ€κ³Ό μν΅ν λ λ ν° κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그리λλ‘ μλμ κ°ννλ κ²μ λλ€. μ§λ 6κ°μ λμ μ λ μ°λ°© μ¬μ μ κΉμ΄ κ΄μ¬ν΄ μμΌλ©°, μ°λ¦¬κ° μ¬μ μ μ΄μνλ λ°©μμ λ³κ²½νμ΅λλ€. |
| And during this time, what I've seen firsthand is that demonstrating economic value early is a powerful accelerant. It quickly establishes trust, builds credibility and shorten sales cycles. We are now applying the same approach across our commercial business. Our goal is to solve the highest value problems for the right customers. Accordingly, we are prioritizing large-scale enterprise-wide transformation opportunities. To do this, we will rapidly demonstrate value through accelerated proofs of concept in IPDs. This is how we help the world's leading enterprises master AI at scale. | κ·Έλμ μ κ° μ§μ λͺ©κ²©ν λ°μ λ°λ₯΄λ©΄, κ²½μ μ κ°μΉλ₯Ό μ‘°κΈ°μ μ μ¦νλ κ²μ΄ κ°λ ₯ν κ°μμ μν μ ν©λλ€. μ΄λ μ λ’°λ₯Ό λΉ λ₯΄κ² ꡬμΆνκ³ , μ λ’°μ±μ λμ΄λ©°, μμ μ£ΌκΈ°λ₯Ό λ¨μΆμν΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ μ΄μ λΉμ¬μ μμ λΉμ¦λμ€ μ λ°μ κ±Έμ³ λμΌν μ κ·Ό λ°©μμ μ μ©νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬μ λͺ©νλ μ ν©ν κ³ κ°λ€μ μν΄ κ°μ₯ κ°μΉ μλ λ¬Έμ λ€μ ν΄κ²°νλ κ²μ λλ€. λ°λΌμ μ ν¬λ λκ·λͺ¨μ μ μ¬μ νμ κΈ°νλ₯Ό μ°μ μνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ₯Ό μν΄ μ ν¬λ κ°μνλ κ°λ μ¦λͺ (PoC)κ³Ό IPDλ₯Ό ν΅ν΄ κ°μΉλ₯Ό μ μνκ² μ μ¦ν κ²μ λλ€. μ΄κ²μ΄ λ°λ‘ μ ν¬κ° μΈκ³ μ μμ κΈ°μ λ€μ΄ AIλ₯Ό λκ·λͺ¨λ‘ μλ¬ν μ μλλ‘ λλ λ°©μμ λλ€. |
| We are concentrating on areas where we have demonstrable leadership, proving success and the right to win especially industrial asset performance, supply chain optimization and generative AI. In R&D, I want to fundamentally reinvent how we build with C3 AI. We are investing in the platform to dramatically reduce the time from idea to deployments, enabling both our teams and our customers to build AI-driven systems more effectively. | μ ν¬λ μ μ¦λ 리λμκ³Ό μ±κ³΅ μ¬λ‘λ₯Ό 보μ νκ³ μμΌλ©°, μΉλ¦¬ν μ μλ νκ³ ν μλμ κ°μΆ μμμ μ§μ€νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. νΉν μ°μ μμ° μ±λ₯, 곡κΈλ§ μ΅μ ν, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μμ±ν AI λΆμΌμ λλ€.

| Ultimately, this allows the focus to ship from writing code to orchestrating, validating and scaling AI-driven systems to increase velocity immediately we have increased focus on a smaller number of high priority items while enforcing tighter ownership and higher execution standards. This restructuring is a strategic reset that we believe will make the company stronger, more focused and allow us to win long-term. Notwithstanding the challenges of the past quarter, there continues to be strong customer validation. We closed 44 agreements, including new and expansion agreements with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. | λ€, ν΄λΉ μ€μ λ°ν μ€ν¬λ¦½νΈ λΆλΆμ μμ°μ€λ½κ³ μ λ¬Έμ μΈ νκ΅μ΄λ‘ λ²μν΄ λλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. --- κΆκ·Ήμ μΌλ‘, μ΄λ μ½λ μμ±μμ λ²μ΄λ AI κΈ°λ° μμ€ν μ μ‘°μ¨, κ²μ¦, νμ₯νλ λ° μ§μ€νμ¬ κ°λ° μλλ₯Ό λμΌ μ μκ² ν©λλ€. μ¦μ, μ°λ¦¬λ μμμ κ³ μ°μ μμ νλͺ©μ μ§μ€λλ₯Ό λμ΄λ ννΈ, λ μ격ν μ± μ μμκ³Ό λμ μ€ν κΈ°μ€μ μ μ©νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ¬ν ꡬ쑰쑰μ μ νμ¬λ₯Ό λμ± κ°νκ³ μ§μ€λ ₯ μκ² λ§λ€κ³ μ₯κΈ°μ μΌλ‘ μΉλ¦¬ν μ μκ² ν κ²μ΄λΌκ³ λ―Ώλ μ λ΅μ μ¬μ€μ μ λλ€. μ§λ λΆκΈ°μ μ΄λ €μμλ λΆκ΅¬νκ³ , κ°λ ₯ν κ³ κ° κ²μ¦μ κ³μλκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ°λ¦¬λ λ―Έκ΅ λ무λΆ(U.S. Department of Agriculture) λ° λ―Έκ΅(U.S.)... μμ μ κ· λ° νμ₯ κ³μ½μ ν¬ν¨νμ¬ μ΄ 44건μ κ³μ½μ 체결νμ΅λλ€. --- |
| Department of Energy, the NATO Communications and Information Agency, the Royal Navy, GSK, Thales, ExxonMobil, U.S. Steel, Seaspan and McLaren, among others. We saw increased strong traction in the federal business. Total bookings across federal, defense and aerospace increased by 134% year-over-year, accounting for 55% of total bookings.

| At the same time, international demand for our solutions originally developed for U.S. federal customers continues to grow. During the quarter, the NATO Communications and Information Agency selected C3 AI to support logistics planning, and operations across its 32 member states. Adoption is also expanding among allied defense organizations, including Japan's Ministry of Defense and the U.K. Royal Navy. In the commercial sector, we have extended our long-standing partnership under a new multiyear agreement with one of the world's largest E&P companies. This company has arguably built one of the largest and most successful enterprise AI reliability employments in any industry. | λμμ, μλ λ―Έκ΅ μ°λ°© κ³ κ°μ μν΄ κ°λ°λ λΉμ¬ μ루μ μ λν κ΅μ μ μΈ μμκ° μ§μμ μΌλ‘ μ¦κ°νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ² λΆκΈ° λμ NATO ν΅μ μ 보κ΅μ 32κ° νμκ΅ μ λ°μ λ¬Όλ₯ κ³ν λ° μ΄μμ μ§μνκΈ° μν΄ C3 AIλ₯Ό μ μ νμ΅λλ€. μΌλ³Έ λ°©μμ± λ° μκ΅ ν΄κ΅°μ ν¬ν¨ν λλ§Ή λ°©μ κΈ°κ΄λ€ μ¬μ΄μμλ μ±νμ΄ νλλκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μμ λΆλ¬Έμμλ μΈκ³ μ΅λ E&P(νμ¬ λ° μμ°) κΈ°μ μ€ ν κ³³κ³Ό μλ‘μ΄ λ€λ κ° κ³μ½μ ν΅ν΄ μ€λ ννΈλμμ μ°μ₯νμ΅λλ€. μ΄ κΈ°μ μ λͺ¨λ μ°μ λΆμΌμμ λ¨μ°μ½ κ°μ₯ ν¬κ³ μ±κ³΅μ μΈ μν°νλΌμ΄μ¦ AI μ λ’°μ± κ΅¬ν μ¬λ‘ μ€ νλλ₯Ό ꡬμΆνμ΅λλ€. |

| After a successful IPD, they're now scaling the solution across additional report types, cutting report production time from weeks to hours while improving accuracy and consistency. Overall, this quarter's results fell short but contain clear areas of strength, including strong federal, defense and aerospace bookings and continued expansion in leading global organizations. From a market perspective, the demand for enterprise AI is massive and rapidly accelerating. As AI CapEx approaches $500 billion, the focus is on demonstrating return on that investment. It is clear that the days of pilot purgatory are over as organizations plan to roll out AI in full enterprise scale production now. | μ±κ³΅μ μΈ IPD(ν΅ν© μ ν κ°λ°) μ΄ν, κ·Έλ€μ μ΄μ μ루μ

| Honestly, people, the day we have been talking about over the last 15 years has arrived, but we believe it's about 1,000x bigger than we could have imagined. After 6 months in this role, and after speaking extensively with our customers, partners and employees, what I've heard firsthand only strengthened my conviction. C3 AI is uniquely positioned to be a winner in enterprise AI. In a market crowded with fragmented point solutions and widespread stagnation of pilot programs, our differentiation is unmistakable. We operationalize AI at the core of the enterprise unifying data across systems to deliver scalable production-grade systems that drive measurable business outcomes. | μμ§ν λ§μλ리μλ©΄, μ¬λ¬λΆ, μ§λ 15λ κ° μ ν¬κ° μ΄μΌκΈ°ν΄μλ κ·Έ λ μ΄ λλμ΄ μμ΅λλ€. νμ§λ§ μ ν¬λ μμνλ κ²λ³΄λ€ 1,000λ°°λ λ ν¬λ€κ³ λ―Ώμ΅λλ€. μ΄ μ§μ± μ λ§‘μ μ§ 6κ°μ λ§μ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ ν¬ κ³ κ°, ννΈλ, μ§μλ€κ³Ό κ΄λ²μνκ² λνν κ²°κ³Ό, μ κ° μ§μ λ€μ λ°λ μ μ νμ μ λμ± κ΅³κ±΄ν ν΄μ£Όμμ΅λλ€.

| As I outlined in the beginning of my remarks, we have launched an execution plan centered on 5 strategic initiatives: first, to reduce the cost structure and reduce the burn; second, restructure the sales organization; third, concentrate efforts on fewer best-in-class applications; fourth, prioritize large-scale enterprise-wide transformations; and fifth, increase the velocity of how we design and deliver our product offerings. Most importantly, we are massively infusing our AI capabilities across all functions at C3 AI. This is now complete. And we are now moving forward. C3 AI is at an inflection point. | μ κ° λͺ¨λμ λ§μλλ Έλ―μ΄, μ ν¬λ 5κ°μ§ μ λ΅μ μ΄λμ

I am counting on all of our employees for their focus, resilience and commitment and on our customers and partners for their continued trust. I've implemented a new cost structure and implemented a path to non-GAAP profitability and a return to growth. We're removing forward with speed enthusiasm and I very much look forward to providing the report of our progress next quarter. Thank you.

| This means they are either in their original 3- to 6-month term or extended for some duration or converted to ongoing subscription or consumption contract or are currently being negotiated for conversion to ongoing subscription or consumption contract. As Stephen said, in Q4, we launched a restructuring plan to materially improve our operating efficiency and position the company for long-term success. This plan includes expense reductions across our business to produce full year cost savings of approximately $135 million. And more importantly, it also reduces the annual cash burn by approximately the same amount. | μ΄λ ν΄λΉ κ³μ½λ€μ΄ μλμ 3κ°μμμ 6κ°μ κΈ°κ° λ΄μ μκ±°λ, μΌμ κΈ°κ° μ°μ₯λμκ±°λ, μ§μμ μΈ κ΅¬λ λλ μλΉ κ³μ½μΌλ‘ μ νλμκ±°λ, λλ νμ¬ μ§μμ μΈ κ΅¬λ λλ μλΉ κ³μ½μΌλ‘μ μ νμ μν΄ νμ μ€μ΄λΌλ κ²μ μλ―Έν©λλ€. μ€ν°λΈμ΄ λ§μλλ Έλ―μ΄, 4λΆκΈ°μ μ°λ¦¬λ μ΄μ ν¨μ¨μ±μ μ€μ§μ μΌλ‘ κ°μ νκ³ νμ¬κ° μ₯κΈ°μ μΈ μ±κ³΅μ μν μ μ§λ₯Ό λ€μ§κΈ° μν ꡬ쑰쑰μ κ³νμ μ°©μνμ΅λλ€. μ΄ κ³νμλ μ¬μ μ λ°μ κ±ΈμΉ λΉμ© μ κ°μ΄ ν¬ν¨λλ©°, μ΄λ₯Ό ν΅ν΄ μ½ 1μ΅ 3,500λ§ λ¬λ¬μ μ°κ° λΉμ© μ κ° ν¨κ³Όλ₯Ό κ°μ Έμ¬ κ²μ λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ λ μ€μν κ²μ, μ°κ° νκΈ μμ§μ‘ λν κ±°μ λμΌν κΈμ‘λ§νΌ μ€μ¬μ€ κ²μ΄λΌλ μ μ λλ€. |
| We expect to substantially complete the implementation of the plan by the second quarter of fiscal year '27. And accordingly, the projected cost savings are expected to be fully realized starting the second half of fiscal year '27. Included within our plan is reduction of our global workforce by about 26% or approximately 280 employees. This is comprised of headcount reduction of 25% in cost of revenue, 36% in sales and marketing, 25% in R&D and 13% in G&A. This reduction in global workforce is substantially complete and will result in annualized cost savings of approximately $60 million. | μ ν¬λ 2027 νκ³μ°λ 2λΆκΈ°κΉμ§ κ³νμ μ΄νμ μ€μ§μ μΌλ‘ μλ£ν κ²μΌλ‘ μμν©λλ€. μ΄μ λ°λΌ, μμλλ λΉμ© μ κ° ν¨κ³Όλ 2027 νκ³μ°λ νλ°κΈ°λΆν° μμ ν μ€νλ κ²μΌλ‘ κΈ°λλ©λλ€. μ ν¬ κ³νμλ κΈλ‘λ² μΈλ ₯μ μ½ 26%, μ¦ μ½ 280λͺ κ°μΆνλ λ°©μμ΄ ν¬ν¨λμ΄ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ λ§€μΆμκ° λΆλ¬Έ 25%, μμ λ° λ§μΌν λΆλ¬Έ 36%, μ°κ΅¬ κ°λ°(R&D) λΆλ¬Έ 25%, μΌλ° κ΄λ¦¬λΉ(G&A) λΆλ¬Έ 13%μ μΈμ κ°μΆμΌλ‘ ꡬμ±λ©λλ€. μ΄λ¬ν κΈλ‘λ² μΈλ ₯ κ°μΆμ μ€μ§μ μΌλ‘ μλ£λμμΌλ©°, μ°κ° μ½ 6μ²λ§ λ¬λ¬μ λΉμ© μ κ° ν¨κ³Όλ₯Ό κ°μ Έμ¬ κ²μ λλ€. |

| William Kingsley Crane: Canaccord Genuity Corp., Research Division So I think you closed 8 Gen AI agreements, 5 or 6 IPDs within that segment.

| Hitesh Lath: Senior VP & CFO Yes. In terms of IPDs, we have a much better qualification criteria in terms of our likelihood of generating enough economic value for the customer as well as the likelihood of those IPDs converting to production contracts. So we are being selective with the IPDs we sign up for and we expect a higher likelihood of those converting to production contracts. | **Hitesh Lath:** λ€.

| William Kingsley Crane: Canaccord Genuity Corp., Research Division Okay. And maybe this 1 for Stephen. Given you're abstracting away AI complexity from customers, how are you evaluating models from various providers at various price points. So whether that's Opus 4.6 or Haiku or Gemini or MiniMax both from a functionality standpoint and then a cost structure standpoint, especially as it sounds like you're leaning in towards Agentic coding at this point? | **William Kingsley Crane:** κ³ κ°μΌλ‘λΆν° AI 볡μ‘μ±μ μΆμν(abstracting away)νκ³ κ³μ λ€λ μ μ κ°μν λ, λ€μν κ°κ²©λμ μ¬λ¬ μ 곡μ 체 λͺ¨λΈλ€μ μ΄λ»κ² νκ°νκ³ κ³μ μ§ κΆκΈν©λλ€. μλ₯Ό λ€μ΄ Opus 4.6, Haiku, Gemini, MiniMaxμ κ°μ λͺ¨λΈλ€μ κΈ°λ₯μ μΈ μΈ‘λ©΄κ³Ό λΉμ© ꡬ쑰(cost structure) μΈ‘λ©΄ λͺ¨λμμ μ΄λ»κ² νκ°νμλμ§μ. νΉν νμ¬ μμ΄μ νΈ μ½λ©(Agentic coding)μ μ§μ€νκ³ κ³μ κ²μΌλ‘ λ€λ €μ μ΄ λΆλΆμ λν νκ° λ°©μλ κΆκΈν©λλ€. |
| Chief Executive Officer: Yes. So there's 2 questions is what we're using internally and then what our customers are using. Maybe on the second point, we've built our architecture, so it's model agnostic and it's really driven by the customer demands. So depending on the exact use case and the capabilities they can select which model they want to drive this with full flexibility. In terms of internally, we provide flexibility to our employees just like the model that works best for them. We did this across engineering, products, marketing, sales, and we're seeing success across a wide swath of models today. | **Chief Executive Officer:** λ€. ν¬κ² λ κ°μ§ μ§λ¬Έμ΄μ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. μ ν¬κ° λ΄λΆμ μΌλ‘ 무μμ μ¬μ©νλμ§μ κ³ κ°λ€μ΄ 무μμ μ¬μ©νλμ§μ λν μ§λ¬Έμ΄μ. λ λ²μ§Έ μ§λ¬Έ, μ¦ κ³ κ° μ¬μ© μΈ‘λ©΄μ λν΄ λ§μλ리μλ©΄, μ ν¬λ μν€ν μ²λ₯Ό νΉμ λͺ¨λΈμ μ’ μλμ§ μλλ‘ (model agnostic) ꡬμΆνμΌλ©°, μ΄λ μ μ μΌλ‘ κ³ κ°μ μꡬμ¬νμ λ°λΌ κ²°μ λ©λλ€. λ°λΌμ κ³ κ°λ€μ μ νν μ¬μ© μ¬λ‘ (use case)μ 보μ μλμ λ°λΌ, μμ ν μ μ°μ±μ κ°μ§κ³ μνλ λͺ¨λΈμ μ ννμ¬ νμ©ν μ μμ΅λλ€. λ΄λΆμ μΌλ‘λ μ ν¬ μ§μλ€μκ²λ κ°μ₯ μ ν©ν λͺ¨λΈμ μ¬μ©ν μ μλλ‘ μ μ°μ±μ μ 곡νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ μμ§λμ΄λ§, μ ν, λ§μΌν , μμ λ± λͺ¨λ λΆμμμ μ΄λ¬ν λ°©μμ μ μ©νμΌλ©°, νμ¬ λ€μν λͺ¨λΈμμ μ±κ³΅μ μΈ κ²°κ³Όλ₯Ό μ»κ³ μμ΅λλ€. |

| Brian Essex: JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division Maybe start off 1 for Hitesh. 36% reduction in sales and marketing, pretty substantial. I would love to get some thoughts about how you approach that cost reduction, where those reductions kind of manifested within the organization? And what can we expect from an investment in growth versus cost efficiency mindset going forward? | **Brian Essex:** μμ λ° λ§μΌν (sales and marketing) λΉμ©μ΄ 36%λ κ°μνλλ°, μ΄λ μλΉν ν° νμ μ κ°μ λλ€. μ΄λ¬ν λΉμ© μ κ°(cost reduction)μ μ΄λ€ λ°©μμΌλ‘ μ κ·Όνμ ¨κ³ , μ‘°μ§ λ΄μμ μ΄λ¬ν μ κ°μ΄ ꡬ체μ μΌλ‘ μ΄λ€ λΆλΆμμ μ΄λ£¨μ΄μ‘λμ§μ λν΄ λ§μν΄μ£Όμλ©΄ κ°μ¬νκ² μ΅λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ ν₯ν μ±μ₯ ν¬μ(investment in growth)μ λΉμ© ν¨μ¨μ±(cost efficiency)μ΄λΌλ λ κ°μ§ κ΄μ μ¬μ΄μμ μ΄λ€ κ· νμ κ°μ Έκ°μ€μ§, μ΄λ€ κΈ°μ‘°λ₯Ό μμν μ μμμ§ κΆκΈν©λλ€. |
| Hitesh Lath: Senior VP & CFO Yes, sure. Our cost reduction, it covers all locations and all functions across the company. And we -- when we started on this exercise, we took a hard look at our cost by function and by location and identified opportunities where we could be more efficient. We also compared our cost structure with other comparable companies in the software industry and that reinforce our view that the cost reduction had to be across the board. And in terms of reduction in costs across sales and marketing and other areas, I provided some perspective on that from a headcount reduction standpoint. And the reduction in sales and marketing is primarily coming from a reduction in our sales force as well as marketing spend. | **Hitesh Lath:** λ€, λ¬Όλ‘ μ

| Brian Essex: JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division Yes. Very helpful. Maybe for Stephen. Maybe if you could frame out, how are your customer conversations changing with respect to adoption of the platform. Is this purely an AI conversation? Is it more of the cost management conversation or maybe conversely, is it a revenue-generating conversation? And then are there any other budgets? Are these AI-specific budgets? Or are these primarily projects within specific verticals and specific operations that are turning to AI to make themselves more efficient. I'd love to just get your kind of take on what you've heard so far. | **Brian Essex:** λ€, λ§μ λμμ΄ λμμ΅λλ€. νλ«νΌ μ±ν(platform adoption)κ³Ό κ΄λ ¨νμ¬ κ³ κ°κ³Όμ λνκ° μ΄λ»κ² λ³ννκ³ μλμ§ μ€λͺ ν΄ μ£Όμκ² μ΅λκΉ? μ΄κ²μ΄ μμ ν AIμ λν λνμΈκ°μ? μλλ©΄ λΉμ© κ΄λ¦¬(cost management)μ λν λνκ° λ λ§μκ°μ? μλλ©΄ λ°λλ‘ μμ΅ μ°½μΆ(revenue-generating)μ λν λνμΈκ°μ? κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μμ°(budgets) μΈ‘λ©΄μμλ μ΄λ€κ°μ?

| Chief Executive Officer: It's a great question. I think the market is moving extremely fast. So let me just highlight, I've been here 6 months and spent all that time on the road talking to our customers, our partners, even our employees and so that conversation is changing in real time where every CEO is looking to make an investment in AI, but they're tired, and I kind of highlighted the pilot purgatory. They don't want to just test out AI for the purpose of testing it and doing it for 6 months. They want to move today and adopt an AI platform, not for a single solution, but they're looking for a transformational change across the departments. I think of the customers we sell into, industrial, manufacturing, federal governments. These are areas where there's massive transformation happening and it's to grow and drive revenue and really, really imagine the business. So what I think is some of our leading companies, one of the largest biopharma companies in the world, they're talking with this -- we're solving a supply chain for them, but they're talking about this as a zero back office supply chain, right? We have a human on the loop and more autonomy. You think about asset performance and we have the idea of an autonomous site manager. So this is a much bigger transformational story, which reflects the changes we're making in the organization to get started faster and be able to provide a road map to a large transformation change for our customers today. So I think those are the conversations, I think I've been impressed with the speed and urgency to adopt and move beyond one use case in many use cases. That's where we're seeing value today, and that's where I'm doubling down on to. | **Chief Executive Officer:** μμ£Ό μ’μ μ§λ¬Έμ
