• ARR reached $1.231 billion, up 25% year over year, exceeding guidance by $11 million. SaaS ARR rose 36%, while SaaS represented 97% of net new ARR.
• AI-driven solutions gained significant traction, contributing more than 30% of Q2 net new ARR and pushing AI-driven ARR above $70 million. The AI pipeline has more than doubled since Investor Day, supported by hundreds of proof-of-concept opportunities and the Entro acquisition.
• Customer expansion and cloud migration remain strong, with AI adopters increasing annual spending by more than 60%, over two-thirds of migrations including an AI product, and migration activity contributing roughly four points to ARR growth.
• SailPoint raised its FY2027 ARR guidance by $11 million to $1.38 billion but maintained revenue guidance near $1.27 billion. Management attributed the disconnect to SaaS revenue-recognition timing—not weaker demand—as more sales are recognized ratably rather than upfront.
• Q2 adjusted operating margin was 20.3%, but FY2027 guidance is approximately 19%, including additional Entro-related costs; Q3 margin is expected to decline to 17.7%.
