Summary
8x8 delivered its fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, with total revenue reaching a record $190.2 million (up 5%) and service revenue at a record $185.3 million (up 5%). The standout metric is the 63% year-over-year surge in platform usage revenue—comprising CPaaS programmable APIs, digital channels, and AI-based solutions—which now represents 26% of service revenue versus 17% a year ago.
This shift toward consumption-based offerings is driving top-line growth but compressing gross margins: non-GAAP gross margin fell to 61.6% from 67.8% year-over-year. Management emphasized that despite the margin percentage decline, operating profit dollars increased, with non-GAAP operating income rising 16% to $18.9 million (9.9% margin) and exceeding guidance. AI adoption is accelerating rapidly.
Customer adoption of AI solutions grew 121% year-over-year and 68% sequentially, with over 200 organizations actively using AI Studio to build more than 2,900 AI agents in production. The company also launched new AI-powered products including 8x8 Pulse, 8x8 Resolve, and 8x8 AI Routing for select customers. Operating cash flow improved 43% to $17.0 million, marking the 22nd consecutive quarter of positive cash generation. The company prepaid $14.5 million on its term loan, reducing total debt to $309.4 million and achieving a cumulative $239 million (44%) debt reduction since August 2022. Management raised full-year guidance, targeting total revenue of $745–$765 million, non-GAAP operating margin of 8.8–9.8%, and operating cash flow of $45–$52 million. The revenue mix shift toward lower-margin platform usage is a near-term margin headwind, but the company is demonstrating it can grow operating profit dollars while expanding AI adoption and deleveraging the balance sheet.
