Key Q&A
Q:Can you provide initial feedback on Celeste and its impact on the average client size?
A:The feedback on Celeste has been tremendous, with strong interest and excitement from clients. It was released in limited availability, and clients like Ropes & Gray have already adopted it. Celeste addresses challenges with first-generation tools and offers a model-agnostic design that supports multiple solution types and models.
Q:Have clients shifted preferences in terms of specific LLMs?
A:Clients show a wide range of preferences, including OpenAI, ChatGPT, Claude, Anthropic models, Microsoft Copilot, xAI, and Google. Celeste is designed to be model-agnostic, allowing clients to use the best-fit model for their needs.
Q:Why was the full-year adjusted EBIT guidance raise smaller than the Q3 beat?
A:The smaller raise is due to expense timing, with some Q3 spending pushed into Q4, and continued investments in go-to-market efforts and product innovation. Additionally, the annual guide midpoint is now centered on the last quarter, which involves rounding differences.
Q:Can you quantify the mix of drivers for the impressive cloud NRR performance?
A:The cloud NRR performance of 123%-124% is driven by cross-sell and up-sell efforts, particularly in the $50,000+ ARR cohort. These trends are consistent with disclosures made at Investor Day.
Q:What are the key milestones and KPIs for integrating Celeste in the coming quarters and years?
A:Key milestones include rolling out Celeste through limited and general availability, integrating it into existing products like DealCloud and Compliance, and expanding into new value propositions and TAM. Firms are also creating budgets for AI solutions, and Celeste aims to offset future hiring needs with agents.
Q:Can you elaborate on the compliance officer hiring trend and its relevance to Celeste?
A:Compliance officers are increasingly involved in AI strategies due to risks of ungoverned information repositories. Celeste addresses these risks with its AI-native, compliance-focused design, making it a trusted solution for managing professional compliance and information governance.
Q:What are the initial use cases and workflows for Celeste?
A:Initial use cases include client intake, business acceptance, compliance, business origination, lateral hiring, and mergers in accounting and consulting. Celeste also supports business utilization and pricing/profitability management, focusing on areas where Intapp has a strong position.
Q:How are clients reacting to token costs and how does Celeste address this?
A:Clients are concerned about scaling token costs and information risk. Celeste's architecture efficiently retrieves reliable facts and manages compliance risks, offering a better alternative to DIY models and generic MCP solutions.
Q:What is the contribution of AI to net new ARR?
A:AI contributes significantly, with Celeste accounting for about 15% of new ARR. The contribution is growing rapidly, and Celeste has incorporated Assist technology into its new generation.
Q:How often do you compete with well-funded startups, and how important are partnerships like those with Anthropic and Microsoft?
A:Competition with startups is common, particularly in areas where Intapp has a strong history. Partnerships with Anthropic and Microsoft are crucial, especially in enterprise-class firms, as they enhance Intapp's credibility and competitive edge.
Q:What are clients' hiring plans and how does AI fit into them?
A:Clients are not planning significant staffing changes in the next 12 months but aim to use AI to scale their businesses without additional hiring. Professional services firms are more cautious, while financial services firms see more opportunities for efficiency through AI.
Q:What is the potential uplift from existing customers adding Celeste?
A:The potential uplift is significant, as Celeste unlocks new SAM and TAM opportunities, including a $30 billion non-IT spend market. Early demand and pipeline generation have been very encouraging.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided directly addressing the exact quantification of AI's overall contribution to net new ARR, as well as specific details on the uplift potential from existing customers adding Celeste. They also used vague language when discussing the timing and scale of future hiring changes due to AI.
