We executed well across our strategic priorities, delivered another quarter of strong financial results, accelerated upmarket growth and raised our guidance for the year, which now calls for positive revenue growth in 2025. We're delighting our customers and feel closer to them than ever. We're positioned to play offense with accelerating product innovation, a strengthening competitive position across our solutions, and a team that is laser focused and has an ownership mentality. All these inputs should drive accelerating free cash flow per share growth over the next few years and beyond. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:02:52During the quarter, go to market studio went live and has a growing set of customers. ZoomInfo Copilot continued on its strong growth trajectory, and our suite of operations solutions again grew more than 20% year over year, validating that our customers are increasingly recognizing that they must make an infrastructural investment in data if they wanna win in an AI world. All three solutions are driving stickier workflows and more habituated engagement across our customer base. In q two, GAAP revenue was $3.00 $7,000,000 and adjusted operating income was $105,000,000 a margin of 34%, both above the high end of guidance. Q2 is a quarter that typically skews more upmarket, and we leverage that opportunity with an increasing number of our largest customers embracing workflows, automation, and data as they expand their usage of our overall platform. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:03:51We now have eighteen eighty four customers with more than $100,000 in ACV, a sequential increase of 16 customers and a year over year increase of 87 customers. ACV growth in the quarter from that cohort was materially higher than last Q2 as our largest customers continue to expand and embed more of our data and agents in their workflows. We added customers to our million dollar cohort, driving sequential and year over year growth in total ACV as well as the average ACV per million dollar customer. ACV for the million dollar cohort was up more than 25% year over year. Upmarket ACV accelerated from 3% year over year growth in Q1 to 4% year over year growth in Q2. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:04:4172 of our business is now upmarket. Net revenue retention improved to 89% in the quarter, up four percentage points in three quarters with upmarket retention the highest it has been in several years. During the quarter, we closed upmarket opportunities with Avis, Open Exchange, Spectrum, Swift, and the Washington Commanders. Additionally, a multinational provider of finance, HR, and payroll software doubled its spend with us and is now leveraging a wide swath of our data as a service products within their data science teams to build foundational data with company from a graphics, technographics, hierarchy data, and signals across funding announcements, intent topics, and project scoops. The customer expects this investment to have an immediate impact on market reactivity, win rates, and a hard cost on FTEs across their go to market organization. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:05:41At UKG, we identified and unlocked an opportunity to transform their territory planning, account scoring, and first party data enrichment by improving data integrity across the organization using ZoomInfo Lab, data as a service, and our AI powered signals. We expanded our relationship with a leading management platform to develop a custom data as a service solution that amplifies their go to market engine and accelerates their initiative to grow their customer base of companies with more than 10 employees. By partnering with their business systems, engineering, and business intelligence teams, we analyzed company records and contacts against their ideal customer profile, identified white space opportunities, and delivered a new universe of data that integrates seamlessly into their existing go to market workflows. These accounts were all already in our 100 ks cohort of customers and all three more than doubled their spend year over year. This is a trend that we expect to continue to see within our customer base. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:06:46Our go to market motion is now designed to drive increased platform adoption and expansion across our existing upmarket customers. And while not reflected in our Q2 financial results, shortly after the close of the quarter, we signed the largest TCV deal in the history of ZoomInfo, reinforcing our upmarket growth potential. This is a nearly 8 figure annual contract across four years with an existing upmarket customer that materially extends their use of the ZoomInfo platform. This customer has been using ZoomInfo for over a decade, during which time they have increased annual spend by 40 x. What started as a simple contact lookup contract has evolved into a long term partnership that leverages our data, signals, and workflow activation layer with custom DaaS deliveries becoming embedded into their critical go to market workflows. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:07:42Customers like this one underscore how critical we are to organizations as they transform the way they go to market. Today, 72% of our ACV is coming from larger upmarket customers, an area where we see higher levels of profitability and accelerating revenue growth. As we successfully execute on our transition upmarket, we continue to invest behind this strategic shift. During our last earnings call, we made clear our intention to build the go to market intelligence platform. We continue to see great momentum on that journey throughout Q2 as enterprises move beyond access accessing data to demanding AI powered systems that can think, predict, and act on their behalf, positioning our solutions and platform as the intelligent backbone of their go to market operation. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:08:36First, with Copilot, our AI for frontline seller productivity. In the quarter, the first set of customers who adopted Copilot a year ago came up for their first renewal on the product. Though it's still early, we're observing renewal rates that are materially better than on legacy ZoomInfo sales and are performing better than expected. Since Q4 twenty twenty four, active users have increased their number of monthly AI actions by more than 40%, showing increasing adoption in daily workflows. We also expect continued traction upmarket as upgraded Copilot features and agents launch later this year. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:09:18Second, go to market studio is our operational counterpart to Copilot, enabling sales leaders and revenue operations teams to architect campaigns and strategies while Copilot executes against those strategies at the frontline. They're designed to work together, driving expansion across different personas and new use cases within the same enterprise account. Go to market studio went into early access in July with the first set of customers from our oversubscribed waitlist. We will be GA ing go to market studio ahead of schedule. And as it continues to scale across our customer base, we have an unprecedented opportunity to enable go to market leaders to actually deliver results with AI and automation. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:10:04Early customers are using GoToMarketStudio to generate insights faster than ever with just a fraction of the effort. Account scoring and prioritization, automated research and enrichment, turn prediction modeling, and competitive intelligence are some of the first features that our early users are embedding into their AI enabled workflows. We're eliminating data silos, automating manual tasks, and delivering real time buyer intelligence, ensuring every seller is engaging with the right accounts at the right time with the right message. With go to market studio, Copilot, and DaaS, our go to market intelligence platform is creating the unified data foundation for go to market AI. In Q2, we continue to automate the down market experience and where we're able to reduce and in some cases reallocate down market resources. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:10:57In this rapidly changing technology landscape, we will continue to be ahead of the curve in our internal adoption of AI, resourcing smaller but more productive teams. In one instance, we were able to restructure a team from more than 25 employees to two, leveraging AI to support the automated creation of content and the workflow to connect that content across the business. We deployed some of that excess headcount into upmarket sales roles where we continue to add headcount. We see these changes leading to better customer experiences while capturing efficiencies in the process and have a number of additional areas around the business where we believe we can reinvent our operating model powered by AI, resulting in better customer experiences, faster decisions, reduced headcount by leveraging AI, and improved margin performance. In the quarter, we were also able to be aggressive against our share buyback program, retiring 15,900,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $9.22 I'm committed to driving durable positive revenue growth, faster AOI growth, and even faster free cash flow per share growth via opportunistic and price sensitive buybacks. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:12:12Before I turn the call over to Graham, we announced today that we are naming him CFO. Graham first joined us as part of the Ranking acquisition in 2017 and has had a great track record over his eight plus years at ZoomInfo. He has done a fantastic job serving as our interim CFO, a period of time when we consistently delivered on expectations, redoubled our focus on profitable growth, and continued our shift upmarket. He has been a great partner to me and to the investor community, and I'm confident he is perfect for the job. It has been a highlight of my career to watch him grow into this role. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:12:48With that, I'll turn the call over to our chief financial officer, Graham O'Brien. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:12:53Thanks, Henry. I appreciate the kind words. I am excited about the opportunity, and I am confident that we will continue to accelerate along this promising trajectory as we focus on customer value and expanding up market. My philosophy as CFO is that the ultimate arbiter of the value of a business to its owners is the long term free cash flow per share it generates, and I will be dedicated to effectively delivering that. I'm committed to earning and keeping investor trust and recognize that we must compete for shareholders and their capital through superlative operating and financial performance. We have a real opportunity to reaccelerate revenue growth while prioritizing profitability and growing free cash flow per share, and I am confident that the path we are on will create meaningful shareholder value. Shifting to the results for the quarter. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:13:39Q2 GAAP revenue was $3.00 $7,000,000 and adjusted operating income was $105,000,000 a margin of 34%, both above the guidance ranges we provided. Year to date, revenue is up two percent and largely due to the down market sales seasonality of Q1, annualized sequential revenue growth was negative 0.8%. We delivered strong results in the quarter and as a result, we are raising our expectations for the full year. We are ahead of schedule in our shift up market and we are increasingly confident in the trajectory of the company and our path to consistently delivering rule of 40 results coupled with attractive dilution rates and declining stock based compensation expenses. We are now guiding to positive revenue growth for the full year 2025. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:14:25Copilot had another strong quarter and operations continued to grow greater than 20% year over year. Upmarket is now 72% of the business and upmarket growth is accelerating growing 4% year over year. The downmarket business is now down to 28% of total ACV and contributes even less of total adjusted operating income. Downmarket declined 11% year over year in the quarter and we remain confident that it will be a smaller and healthier version of itself over the long run. Our overall net revenue retention improved in the quarter to 89% and upmarket retention is at its highest level in years. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:15:00The growth in our 100 ks and million dollar customer cohorts was better than expected in Q2. Q2 is still a relatively noisy year over year comparison period and as we transition into the second half of the year, the year over year comparisons will become much cleaner. As we look to the back half of the year, we anticipate getting more insight will help us better understand renewal trends for early tranches of CoPilot customers, as well as customers that transacted to the new business risk model last year. While still very early, the results to date have been promising and give us incremental confidence in our longer term growth algorithm. As more of the business comes from larger upmarket customers, we see continued opportunities for higher levels of profitability. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:15:47We are confident in our ability to deliver improving levels of profitability with improving revenue growth, with margin expansion materializing over time and not always in a linear manner to upmarket mix shift. Turning to cash, operating cash flow was $109,000,000 in Q2 and unlevered free cash flow for the quarter was 100,000,000 a margin of 33%. In Q2, the company repurchased 15,900,000.0 shares of common stock at an average price of $9.22 for an aggregate $146,000,000 With the favorable market conditions, we accessed our revolving credit facility to meaningfully accelerate share repurchases during the quarter. Since inception, we have allocated more than $1,000,000,000 to share repurchases, retiring approximately 95,000,000 shares while maintaining comfortable leverage ratios. We expect to continue to primarily use the cash flow we generate to retire shares of ZoomInfo as we believe that will generate the best possible long term return for shareholders. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:16:50We ended the quarter with $177,000,000 in cash, cash equivalents and investments, and we carried $1,300,000,000 in gross debt. As a result, our net leverage ratio is 2.5 times trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA and 2.3 times trailing twelve months cash EBITDA, which is defined as consolidated EBITDA in our credit agreements. With respect to liabilities and future performance obligations, unearned revenue at the end of the quarter was $473,000,000 and remaining performance obligations or RPO were $1,150,000,000 of which $842,000,000 are expected to be recognized in the next twelve months. Turning to guidance for Q3, we expect GAAP revenue in the range of three zero two million dollars to $3.00 $5,000,000 We expect adjusted operating income in the range of 110,000,000 to $113,000,000 and non GAAP net income in the range of $0.24 to $0.26 per share. We are raising our guidance for the year and we now expect to deliver positive revenue growth for 2025. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:17:58For the full year 2025, we now expect GAAP revenue in the range of $1,215,000,000 to $1,225,000,000 representing positive 0.5% annual growth at the midpoint of guidance. Adjusted operating income in the range of $433,000,000 to $437,000,000 representing a 36% margin at the midpoint of guidance. We expect non GAAP net income in the range of $0.99 to $1.01 per share based on $346,000,000 weighted average diluted shares outstanding. And we expect unlevered free cash flow in the range of $422,000,000 to $442,000,000 Now, I will turn it over to the operator to open the call for questions. Operator00:18:43Thank you. And the first question is going to come from Brad Zelnick Your line is open. Brad ZelnickManaging Director at Deutsche Bank00:19:09Excellent. Thanks so much for taking the questions and congrats all around, especially to Graham and ZoomInfo on his appointment becoming official. Guys, I wanted to ask about the largest deal in history that you called out, which seems to be really strong validation of everything you've been telling us about the upmarket opportunity. What more is there to say about what actually drove it? And at a time where we hear everybody's becoming more efficient, to see this kind of expansion is amazing. Brad ZelnickManaging Director at Deutsche Bank00:19:37And just really quick, Graham, one for you, especially on your appointment as CFO, I don't want to leave you out. How should we think about the 6% RIF and its impact to next year? Thanks so much, guys. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:19:49Great. Thanks, Brad. So, the large deal that we talked about, it's a really nice win. It standardizes ZoomInfo as the enterprise data foundation and sales intelligence platform at one of the world's most sophisticated go to market organizations. That company is retiring a number of legacy tools. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:20:08We're embedding Copilot into a new CRM, and we're aligning sales, marketing, operations, and AI on a single go to market system that's powered by us. And we're really today at the center of a few key strategic priorities for any forward thinking company. Every company wants to consolidate data into a single source of truth and then enable real time activation across their go to market teams. They want their sellers and their marketers to move with AI driven insights and workflows, and they want to be able to drive better segmentation, better personalization, and better forecasting at enterprise scale. And they're looking to us to be able to deliver that. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:20:51So we're really proud of the new solutions that we've brought to market that enable us to be a key strategic partner in these large organizations. And we're excited that this is a great large first step into telling the customer base that we can be that kind of enterprise upmarket partner. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:21:12And, yeah, I can comment on the 6% reduction in force in June. I view this as a proactive measure as we continue to find pockets in the business where we can be more efficient. I would think about this as a step in our progression towards delivering meaningfully better margins in 2026. Brad ZelnickManaging Director at Deutsche Bank00:21:30Thanks so much for taking the questions, guys. Operator00:21:34Thank you. And the next question will come from Mark Murphy with JPMorgan. Your line is open. Mark MurphyExecutive Director at JPMorgan Chase00:21:42Thank you very much. And Graham, I will add my congrats on the news and very well deserved. I wanted to ask about Q2 in the month of June, which are big up market periods for you. Can you comment at all on the exit velocity there just in terms of close rates, but also how you think about pipeline build heading into the second half? Also within it, if you drill into the software vertical, is there any reason to think that that's turning the corner and maybe that that can become additive to your growth profile going forward rather than impairing it in the second half? Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:22:23Yeah, I think we can we feel really good about the pipeline we have heading into the back half of the year. Q2 and Q4 are our more upmarket weighted quarters and Q2, in our view, certainly didn't disappoint. We feel good, really good about the upmarket pipeline in Q4. And as we mentioned earlier in the call, we are starting to see early signs of better renewal outcomes, upmarket and downmarket as we get into Q3. So that's what makes us feel positive about the back half of the year. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:22:56And then from the software vertical, Q2 was our fifth sequential quarter in a row where we saw improving net dollar retention in the software vertical. And I can safely say that in Q2 software returned to being a contributor of growth to the business for the first time in a long time. Mark MurphyExecutive Director at JPMorgan Chase00:23:15Great to hear. Thank you very much. Operator00:23:18Thank you. And the next question will come from Elizabeth Porter with Morgan Stanley. Your line is open. Elizabeth PorterExecutive Director - Equity Research at Morgan Stanley00:23:26Great. Thank you so much. And I'll add my congratulations, Graham. My question on a recent CIO survey, we actually saw that sales was a top area where the adoption of AI was having an overall improvement in the cost base of the business unit. So I just wanted to delve a little deeper on the conversations you're uncovering as it relates to that greater efficiency. Elizabeth PorterExecutive Director - Equity Research at Morgan Stanley00:23:47And if that is driven more on the lower headcount side, is there any sort of framework or view on how much savings that customers you think can ultimately be captured by ZoomInfo? Thank you. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:24:01Elizabeth, I think when we're talking to our customers, they are obviously leaned in on trying to find opportunities to drive efficiencies in their go to market organizations leveraging AI, but they actually lack first the data foundation to be able to do that data from go to market tools and conversations with customers lives in a number of different areas. Some of it's in snowflakes, some of it's in CRM, some of it is in your conversation intelligence vendor. And then there's this huge universe of third party data that exists about your prospective customers or your existing customers that doesn't live in any of your first party systems. And so when we're talking to our customers, particularly go to market operators, what they're telling us is, yes, there's a lot we wanna do, but we have no centralized way to get the data together. And so we have a lot of creative ideas on the ways that we wanna work with AI, but we can't execute on those ideas because we got it. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:24:58We have to stand in line in a long IT queue to bring the data together, to pull it together for us to have a view of our customer base. And so what we're doing, what we've done with go to market studio is first get that data foundation right. And you're actually seeing that same desire to cleanse and enrich and have a strong data foundation show up in our growth numbers for our operations product, which were up 20% year over year where customers are now more than ever leaning into us and saying, Hey, I have some first party data, but I also need to marry that to third party data in order to be able to drive any of the AI initiatives internally at my company. And so we are seeing customers lean in there. They're looking for the right data foundation and then the right partner from a data and insights perspective. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:25:45And then we're building them workflow so that it's not just that data, but it's embedded inside of their workflow so they can take advantage of that data, take advantage of that insight. And we're seeing really strong results from being able to do that, particularly in the upmarket. Elizabeth PorterExecutive Director - Equity Research at Morgan Stanley00:26:03Great. Thank you. Operator00:26:05Thank you. And the next question comes from Kash Rangan with Goldman Sachs. Your line is open. Kash RanganManaging Director at Goldman Sachs00:26:13Hey, thank you very much. Congrats to Graham. We could see this coming when we hosted you guys. And I told you, Henry, that Graham was doing a great job, so nice to see the promotion. One for you, Henry. Kash RanganManaging Director at Goldman Sachs00:26:22As you take a take a step back, look at the the past three years of this gut wrenching downturn we've all lived through, because as analysts, we learn from our mistakes and things that don't work more than things that work. As you look at your business, one of the things that you've learned from the past three years that you will put to work in the future and that arms you better to make better decisions on the business, steer it forward, that you couldn't know three years ago. And also with with respect to AI, it feels like the the frontier models are truly magical, but everybody has access to these frontier models, everybody has the data, and it feels like the software community might overestimated how much it can charge for these AI products, And then you start to see some customer pushback, not on the value, not not on what it does, but how much they are willing to pay for it. So what is going to be enduring with the go to market AI solutions long term that you think you can be part of the the permanent stock of AI solutions in the future? Thank you so much. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:27:29Great, thank you, Kash. I'll try to hit all of these here. Look, I think from a learning perspective, you've heard us talk about this over the last year, but two things that really matter are the way we think about our customer base and the makeup of that customer base as well as product innovation. And I think when we were, if I were wound the clock three years, we weren't spending that much time thinking about where the next best customer should come from for us. There was, we're generating demand. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:28:01We're closing that demand quickly, but a lot of that demand was coming in the, in the far reaches of the down market. Those customers have the lowest lifetime value as customers of ZoomInfo. They churn at the highest rates. They grow at the lowest rates. And so when we took a look at the business and thought about what would drive durable growth for us for a decade to come, one of the big realizations was that in the upmarket, we have really sticky customers. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:28:30We have great product market fit. Those customers are vastly more profitable for us than their down market counterparts. They grow faster. They have higher net retention. I would tell you the second thing is around product innovation and getting close to our customers. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:28:48And so what we're, we've been able to do over the last, two years is really drive an innovation first product roadmap. We've rebuilt our product teams. We've rebuilt our engineering teams. We're closer to the customer and understand what they really want, what they want to invest in, what they care about. And we're building better software than we ever have before. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:29:08And we leaned way in on leveraging AI to drive efficiencies in that organization and deliver more product, more software at a higher velocity than we ever So our customers are getting better product from us. We're aligned to the right customer segments that drive long term durable growth. And then the third thing I would tell you is that our data advantage is way bigger than we ever imagined. And so we've invested even more behind our data advantage to make sure that our customers are getting the best third party data from us. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:29:38And when you think about your comments around the foundational model, yes, they've eaten up a lot of the publicly available information that exists or all of the publicly available information that exists, but we have a unique data asset that doesn't exist inside of the foundational model that is critical for customers to use to get in front of the right customers at the right time, and it's not available in a foundational model, and it's content context specific. And our customers are leveraging that to get ahead of their competition and have value beyond what they would get out of a ChatGPT wrapper. Kash RanganManaging Director at Goldman Sachs00:30:13Like your answers. Thank you so much, Henry. Operator00:30:17Thank you. And the next question will come from Koji Ikeda with Bank of America. Your line is open. Koji IkedaSenior Research Analyst - Software, Small & Midcap at Bank of America00:30:26Yes. Hey, guys. Thanks so much for taking the questions, Henry and Graham. And I too will add my congrats to Graham on the CFO role. Well deserved there, Graham. Koji IkedaSenior Research Analyst - Software, Small & Midcap at Bank of America00:30:35Okay. So I wanted to ask a question. Maybe this is geared towards Graham, a little bit more forward looking here. I look at Bloomberg and the Street growth estimates for 2026 and it's roughly close to 3%. And I do appreciate the guide up for the second half of this year, but it does imply an exit growth rate of about negative 1.6% for that fourth quarter. Koji IkedaSenior Research Analyst - Software, Small & Midcap at Bank of America00:31:03And of course, do understand there's a lot of nuances in the model here. But as the model begins to normalize in the second half, how do we think about that exit rate mismatch to where the streets at currently for 2026? Is there anything that we should really be focusing on here? Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:31:22Yeah, thanks, Koji. I'll start with the implied Q4 revenue figure that you're pointing out. I'll just say, with this raise to guidance out of this quarter, my philosophy hasn't changed. What's driving the raise is performance of the business and you could look at the guidance philosophy as consistent. That kind of helps with some context around the implied Q4 number. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:31:51And then kind of more pointedly on 2026, we feel great about our progress in '25 so far, but we still need to deliver Q3 and Q4. We feel great about doing that, but our success in doing so will really impact 2026 more than anything. So, we'll start talking about 2026 when we get closer to it. Koji IkedaSenior Research Analyst - Software, Small & Midcap at Bank of America00:32:13Thank you. Operator00:32:15Thank you. And the next question will come from Parker Lane with Stifel. Your line is open. Parker LaneDirector at Stifel Financial Corp00:32:22Hey, guys. Good afternoon, and thanks for taking the question. Graham, I think it's been about a year since you installed the business risk model, PLG and self serve motion on the down market piece of the business. I was just wondering if you could comment on how that's improved the margins of that segment. And as you march towards stabilization of down market, how much of an opportunity is there to drive some additional leverage in that piece in particular? Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:32:48Yeah. We continue to shift resources out of down market to drive up market growth. The down market result in Q2 was in line with our expectations. As a reminder, the up market business has significantly higher margins than the down market business. And our initial guidance model allowed for pretty significant degradation in down market growth. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:33:11With our updated guidance update this quarter, we're now expecting we're looking forward to a stabilization in the rate of the decline of the down market business in the back half of the year. We're seeing good renewal outcomes from customers who have gone through the business risk model. And we didn't actually optimize that new business risk model until Q3 last year, which is when we also restructured our packaging and pricing down market and segmented our new business account executives. So we have a little further to go to lap all of those operational changes, but we still feel as good as ever about the resource shift and the revenue shift upmarket and the opportunity for improving margins that we'll deliver. Parker LaneDirector at Stifel Financial Corp00:33:53Appreciate the feedback. Thank you. Operator00:33:56Thank you. The next question comes from Michael Turrin with Wells Fargo. Your line is open. Michael TurrinMD & Equity Research Analyst at Wells Fargo00:34:03Hey, great. Thanks very much. Appreciate you taking the questions. Graham, just on the segmentation commentary, did you say up market 4% growth and down market down 11%? I'm just we're working on the fly, but hoping you could help bridge how that translates to the 5% growth reported for the quarter. Michael TurrinMD & Equity Research Analyst at Wells Fargo00:34:21And then as a second part, touched on it a bit, but with the revenue increase running a bit ahead of the updates to the bottom line, are there certain areas of the business you're planning to invest back into a bit more given the upmarket motion you're seeing? Thanks. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:34:38Yes, sure. Yes, it was 4% upmarket growth Q2 year over year and negative 11% downmarket. The 5% revenue growth in Q2 bit of a noisy comparison there. We had some change in estimates in Q2 last year. So that's kind of the bridging item to get to that plus five year over year. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:34:59And then on the margins, like, you know, as we as we move up market, as we reaccelerate revenue, we do not view margin expansion and accelerating revenue growth as conflicting. If we, you know, If we do the math here, the upmarket business has significantly higher margins than our downmarket business by several thousand basis points. That implies that around 80% or more of our adjusted operating income can be attributed to the upmarket business. And that's why we continue to feel so confident in improving margins as we return to growth. That margin expansion won't be perfectly linear to upmarket shift, but we do have visibility to that as we exit 2025 and into 2026. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:35:42Our headcount is significantly lower than it was at the beginning of the year. It's essentially at levels where it was several years ago. We also have some fixed costs that came on in 2025 that should flatten out in 2026, and we should get some operating leverage related to those as well. Michael TurrinMD & Equity Research Analyst at Wells Fargo00:36:02Thank you. Operator00:36:05Thank you. And the next question will come from Alex Zukin with Wolfe Research. Your line is open. Alex ZukinMD & Software Equity Research at Wolfe Research LLC00:36:12Hey guys, thanks for taking the question. Graham, again, a huge congrats, I think from everybody in the community on the promotion. Maybe on NRR, again, you guys have mentioned this a few times, the improvement that you've seen over the past few quarters has been pretty substantial. I guess, what gives you the confidence that that can continue? Is there a way to think about the pacing of that improvement as we get through the rest of the year? Alex ZukinMD & Software Equity Research at Wolfe Research LLC00:36:39And then on profitability, we hear you on the reinvestment makes sense given the accelerating up market activity. You talk about operating margin leverage not being in conflict with that. Maybe help give us a little bit of a flavor of that because the full year raise on op income, a little bit less obviously than the pass through on the top line. How should we think about that trending over Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:37:03the course of the next year? Yeah, thanks, Alex. I'll start on the retention side, 89% in Q2, up two points sequentially, up four points from three quarters ago. We're still really focused on getting retention back into the 90s. We have the upmarket business where retention is improving within that segment. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:37:25The upmarket business is also becoming more and more of a mix of the business. So you almost get kind of that inorganic revenue or retention benefit from that. We also have a lot of opportunities within our current customers from a persona expansion perspective. Co pilot, go to market studio, that's going to allow us to sell to teams and seats in the existing customer base that we haven't previously sold to before. And with that mostly upmarket retention opportunity, stabilization down market, that two point retention improvement in Q2, again, that's before closing the largest TCV deal in our history in Q3. So we feel like we continue to have increasing momentum on this path back to 90% and above 90%. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:38:13And then on the margins, think it's I wouldn't really call it reinvestment. I think this is mostly timing. The margin benefit from some of the costs that come out from the points of mix shifts upmarket that we're getting from a revenue perspective almost every quarter. It doesn't immediately fall down to adjusted operating income. There are step functions of improvement here and we view this largely as a timing progression rather than a reinvestment. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:38:47With our resourcing plans with some of the costs that should level out as we get into 2026, we see good opportunity for margin improvement that kind of comes along with that upmarket shift as we reaccelerate revenue growth. Alex ZukinMD & Software Equity Research at Wolfe Research LLC00:39:04Perfect. Thank you, guys. Operator00:39:07Thank you. And the next question will come from Raimo Lenschow with Barclays. Your line is open. Raimo LenschowManaging Director at Barclays00:39:13Perfect. Thanks. Henry, on for you on Co Pilot. Like obviously in the industry, there's a lot of, you know, AI noise. A lot of people kind of are trying to come up with their own AI agent, Copilot kind of type offerings. Raimo LenschowManaging Director at Barclays00:39:28What are you seeing in terms of your your core pilots offering perception in the market? How does it stack up with the other guys? Can you speak to that a little bit more? And Graham, congrats from me as well. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:39:41Hey, Raimo. Thank you for the question. I actually, last quarter went through a number of our customers on Copilot and tested this question with them directly, wanting to understand where they saw advantages of Copilot, if they were seeing anything else in the market that rivaled it. And those meetings came out incredibly positive. We are ahead on the innovation curve from a product perspective. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:40:08We were the first ones to really get out there and go to market and offer a Copilot product. We've since significantly expanded that product. And later this year, we're gonna be releasing a really big product release around Copilot. We're calling it Copilot two point o internally at ZoomInfo, and it'll have significantly enhanced functionality, new agents that go to market organizations can leverage, can use for research and prospecting and account planning and the creation of PDFs for their customers. And so we're really excited about the fact that we got out, we got ahead, and now we have an opportunity to continue to expand the lead that we have with CoPilot. Raimo LenschowManaging Director at Barclays00:40:51Perfect. Thank you. Operator00:40:53Thank you. And the next question will come from Jackson Ader with KeyBanc. Your line is open. Jackson AderManaging Director at KeyBanc Capital Markets00:41:01Great. Good evening, guys. Thanks for taking the questions. My questions are both on the that large deal, the largest TCV deal. I guess just number one, how can you characterize maybe the ACV of that deal compared to the prior contract? Jackson AderManaging Director at KeyBanc Capital Markets00:41:17And then the other follow-up, Henry, you kind of hinted that this might be like this deal might be a signal to other potential upmarket customers. And so I'm curious whether you have any particular industries or other companies that have a similar look and feel that you can just kind of line up and then take this reference customer and go knock those down? Thank you. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:41:43Yeah, I can cover the first part. The ACV event deal after the deal was done is just below 8 figures. And that represented significant growth off of the prior ACV. You can think of significant growth of millions of dollars. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:42:03Yes, I think that is exactly what we expect to be able to do. There are dozens of customers who look like this customer within our account base who are already doing some business with us that we really have an opportunity to go in and show them how they can standardize on ZoomInfo from a data insights and AI agents perspective as they modernize their go to market organizations. I think the trend that we're seeing is our customers are leaning in more with us today than maybe they ever have. You can see that in the three customers I talked about, all of them doubled their, doubled their, their spend with zoom info year over year. And we see a lot of opportunity to continue to do that both in big monumental ways like we did with this customer and also in blocking and tackling and hitting doubles along the way where we can grow a customer from $250,000 to $500,000 or a $500,000 customer to a million dollar customer. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:43:00We have a tremendous customer base in the upmarket where we're now executing again. Jackson AderManaging Director at KeyBanc Capital Markets00:43:08Got it. Thank you. Operator00:43:10Thank you. And the next question will come from Taylor McGinnis with UBS. Your line is open. Taylor McGinnisEquity Research Analyst at UBS Group00:43:17Yes. And congrats, Graham, and thank you guys all for taking my question. Graham, for you, you made comments earlier that upmarket retention has been the highest in years. So what does NRR of the upmarket business look like today? And as we think about the path to get back to the 90s and higher, could you just provide a little bit more color on what the guide assumes? And any early thoughts as we think about 2026? Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:43:45Yeah. Thanks, Taylor. I think previously, had said that upmarket retention was in the mid-90s. We're above that now. On a trailing look back, the high-90s. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:43:56And I think if you looked at it from an in period activity perspective, it's about that. So we are executing and delivering significant improvement across 72% of our business with our largest customers. And as it relates to the guidance, the guidance for the upmarket business is that we get to mid single digit growth in 2025. We're really focused on getting to the top end of that range, if not above that range. And I think with retention where it is right now at market, we would have an opportunity to exceed that assumption. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:44:39And as you start to think about 2026, I mentioned it earlier, it's too early for us to talk about the specifics there. We've got a really big opportunity in Q3 and Q4 to go continue this momentum And then we'll be able to start talking about 2026. Taylor McGinnisEquity Research Analyst at UBS Group00:44:56Perfect. Thank you. Operator00:44:59Thank you. And the next question comes from Tyler Radke with Citi. Your line is open. Tyler RadkeMD, Senior Equity Research Analyst - Software at Citigroup00:45:08Yes, thank you very much for taking my questions. Graham, congrats again for me. In terms of the couple of questions just on kind of the emerging parts of the business. So co pilot, encouraging to hear the continued momentum there. I'm curious as you start to approach some of the co pilot renewals, which I think will be in the back half of this year, would you expect those contracts to grow faster than the initial point of sale? Tyler RadkeMD, Senior Equity Research Analyst - Software at Citigroup00:45:41Obviously, have been using Copilot in those situations for over a year. So do you think that could be a catalyst to reaccelerate NRR for folks that are using Copilot? And then secondly, just on the Operations Hub, I think you said growth there was above 20%. Did that accelerate versus last quarter or was that pretty consistent versus last quarter? Thank you. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:46:08Yeah, the thanks for the question. On the CoPilot part of it, when we rolled out CoPilot in May and in Q2 of last year, the initial transactions there are either new business transactions or their migrations from existing customers onto Copilot. We were very successful, I think, in getting uplifts on those transactions as we migrated the existing customer base onto Copilot. But what we've always said is that the Copilot and our other products are being designed and being built for customer success and to optimize for retention. So how does that customer renew one year in, two years in, three years in? Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:46:48Everything we're building, the approach we're taking to pricing is meant to optimize for adoption and stickiness. So now we're basically approaching this transition where we're going to start having material cohorts of CoPilot customers that have been using CoPilot for six months or a year start to renew. We got an early view on that at the end of Q2 for some of those initial cohorts and the early signs were good. We were getting meaningfully better renewal outcomes. Again, that's a small population, but getting meaningfully better renewal outcomes across a product that is a significant part of our business now, certainly could be an incremental tailwind to retention, even more so than or I guess in line with the tailwind we got from the initial migration. And then on operations, it's still 20% plus growth in the year over year. We had a really strong Q2 and we have not seen signs of deceleration in that number. Tyler RadkeMD, Senior Equity Research Analyst - Software at Citigroup00:48:03Great. Thank you. Operator00:48:05Thank you. And the next question will come from Brian Peterson with Raymond James. Your line is open. Brian PetersonManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:48:12Thanks gentlemen and congrats Graham on the new role. So I wanted to hit on net new. I'm curious how that's gone this year versus your expectations. And Henry, as we think about these upmarket customers looking at how they're treating data, do you think they'll make more standardized investments, I. E, bigger deal sizes versus what you've seen historically, maybe where they're taking a little bit smaller bites of the apple? Thanks, guys. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:48:40Yeah, I'll touch on the net new business first of I'll look at this upmarket versus downmarket. Our upmarket customer acquisition from an ACV perspective continues to grow year over year. And then downmarket, we're basically a year into the new business risk model where we were qualifying customers with more rigor. And by doing that, we are even disqualifying a not insignificant amount of new business ACV that we would have historically sold. So as we start to fully get through that complete lap in Q3, I think we're going be in a place where we are back to a steady state new business acquisition engine down market. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:49:25And then on the data deals, Brian, I think there are probably two things to think about here. I think one is what we're seeing from our customers is that the rhythm to buy data, to power their internal systems, to power their AI initiatives, to cleanse and enrich their CRM systems is much different than I've ever seen it before. What we're seeing from our customers is a recognition of the requirements to buy data to marry with their often out, almost always out of date inaccurate, incomplete data that they have internally that they're trying to use to drive an AI initiative. And so we're seeing bigger deals and more customers prepared to transact around leveraging data to cleanse, enrich, and enhance their own internal first party data in order to drive AI efficiencies in their business. That is a new motion. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:50:24We spent twenty years telling customers how important it was to make sure that the data and their CRM systems and their data warehouses were accurate and up to date and enriched and had signals associated with it. And that felt like a second or third order problem for many years. This is a first order problem in enterprises today, far different than it's been in years past, and that is leading to larger deals. The second thing that I would point you to is in the strategic enterprise, the highest end of the upmarket, they are sophisticated enough and know how to buy data. They buy data, they plug it into a workflow that goes into their CRM or their data warehouse. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:51:10They're sophisticated operators when it comes to leveraging data. They have data science teams and data engineering teams, and they can buy raw data and plug it into their systems and their workflows. The minute you move out of that highest end of the strategic enterprise, you get into companies that have far less sophistication. They're not used to buying data. They don't buy data files. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:51:32They don't have data engineering teams or data science teams to help them with anything. And so we would show up and not have a great solution that articulates the value of that data inside of their enterprises. With go to market studio, that gives us the software layer over what has historically been data as a service files or integrations into data warehouses or CRM systems through APIs, we now have a software interface that gives us the opportunity to go articulate the solution to revenue operations and sales operations and go to market leaders all across the upmarket, not just in the super strategic enterprise segment of our business. And so we're really excited about that opportunity to bring that solution, which is again our fastest growing solution in our portfolio to a much broader set of customers with go to market studio. Brian PetersonManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:52:28Thanks, Heather. Operator00:52:30Thank you. And the next question will come from Pat Walravens Your line is open. Austin ColeSoftware Equity Research Associate at Citizens JMP Securities, LLC00:52:39Great. Thanks for taking the question. This is Austin Cole on for Pat. Henry, question for you. At this point, anyone who is visiting San Francisco is going to see billboards for AI SDRs. Austin ColeSoftware Equity Research Associate at Citizens JMP Securities, LLC00:52:53And there's a bunch of small players in that space popping up. So I'm just wondering, is that something that's coming up in any of your conversations with customers? Do you kind of buy into that vision or why not? And how how does maybe an AI SDR stack up against Copilot from a product perspective? Thanks. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:53:16Yep. Lot of billboards, not a lot of productivity or revenue being generated for companies that have invested behind AI SDRs. I think a lot of pilots that don't turn into longer term contracts, what we're hearing from our customers is, again, that this is a that what they've seen across AI SDRs are a flash in the pan. There are a number of regulatory hurdles to using an AI SDR to go outbound that makes it in many cases, not a good use of technology. I think there are probably opportunities from an inbound perspective when someone fills out an inbound form to be able to correspond with that person using an AI SDR. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:53:58But I think the promise of the AI SDR has been largely overblown. I think the other thing that we're seeing from our Copilot solution is that it's not just SDRs who are leveraging that. We're seeing account executives, account managers, customer success managers who are leveraging Copilot to understand their customers better, to plan for meetings more thoroughly, to know what insights to bring to their customers, to know which customers to focus on because of signals that we're layering in and delivering to them. And so while SDRs are and will continue to be a meaningful part of our user base, we are seeing real expansion opportunity outside of that persona as well. Austin ColeSoftware Equity Research Associate at Citizens JMP Securities, LLC00:54:47Great. Thanks and congrats to Graham. Operator00:54:51Okay. And the next question will come from Surinder Thind with Jefferies. Your line is open. Surinder ThindEquity Research Analyst at Jefferies Financial Group00:54:59Thank you. Henry, just as we look at some of the wins that you've had, especially the bigger ones, it seems like there's a theme of consolidation there where you're displacing some competitors. Given the current environment, it seems like there's enough data points for clients to make bigger decisions at this point. There's enough comfort with the technology and the track records of products. Can you talk a little bit about that theme and if consolidation is where we think the next year or two is going to be in terms of growth, and then maybe we get that, you know, the growth in headcount within sales after that period of how we should maybe think about those dynamics. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:55:41Yep. I think the first thing I would tell you is we are seeing increased opportunities for consolidation across the go to market tech stack. I would tell you two years ago, we were not in a position to take advantage or be a beneficiary of that consolidation push. But today, our product innovation has put us in a position to be a beneficiary there. And so we're seeing customers now consolidate on ZoomInfo. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:56:07Their sales teams are on it. They want their marketing teams on it. They want their rev ops teams on Zoom info as well. And so we have a real opportunity and have seen it across our customer base. We are winning on consolidation across the go to market organization. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:56:22I don't know if that's gonna be the biggest driver of growth in the next twelve months. I think there are big drivers of growth in DAS and go to market studio and continuing expansion of CoPilot, but I do think it will be a contributor to growth as we go forward. Surinder ThindEquity Research Analyst at Jefferies Financial Group00:56:41Thank you. Operator00:56:43Thank you. And that is the last question that we have for today. And I would now like to turn the call over to Henry for any closing remarks. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:56:54Great. Thank you, everybody, for joining us on this journey. We're confident about the balance of the year as we continue to move the business upmarket, and we're releasing some really exciting new solutions to our customer base over the back half of the year and look forward to briefing you on them. Thank you. Operator00:57:11This concludes today's conference call.

We executed well across our strategic priorities, delivered another quarter of strong financial results, accelerated upmarket growth and raised our guidance for the year, which now calls for positive revenue growth in 2025. We're delighting our customers and feel closer to them than ever. We're positioned to play offense with accelerating product innovation, a strengthening competitive position across our solutions, and a team that is laser focused and has an ownership mentality. All these inputs should drive accelerating free cash flow per share growth over the next few years and beyond. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:02:52During the quarter, go to market studio went live and has a growing set of customers. ZoomInfo Copilot continued on its strong growth trajectory, and our suite of operations solutions again grew more than 20% year over year, validating that our customers are increasingly recognizing that they must make an infrastructural investment in data if they wanna win in an AI world. All three solutions are driving stickier workflows and more habituated engagement across our customer base. In q two, GAAP revenue was $3.00 $7,000,000 and adjusted operating income was $105,000,000 a margin of 34%, both above the high end of guidance. Q2 is a quarter that typically skews more upmarket, and we leverage that opportunity with an increasing number of our largest customers embracing workflows, automation, and data as they expand their usage of our overall platform. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:03:51We now have eighteen eighty four customers with more than $100,000 in ACV, a sequential increase of 16 customers and a year over year increase of 87 customers. ACV growth in the quarter from that cohort was materially higher than last Q2 as our largest customers continue to expand and embed more of our data and agents in their workflows. We added customers to our million dollar cohort, driving sequential and year over year growth in total ACV as well as the average ACV per million dollar customer. ACV for the million dollar cohort was up more than 25% year over year. Upmarket ACV accelerated from 3% year over year growth in Q1 to 4% year over year growth in Q2. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:04:4172 of our business is now upmarket. Net revenue retention improved to 89% in the quarter, up four percentage points in three quarters with upmarket retention the highest it has been in several years. During the quarter, we closed upmarket opportunities with Avis, Open Exchange, Spectrum, Swift, and the Washington Commanders. Additionally, a multinational provider of finance, HR, and payroll software doubled its spend with us and is now leveraging a wide swath of our data as a service products within their data science teams to build foundational data with company from a graphics, technographics, hierarchy data, and signals across funding announcements, intent topics, and project scoops. The customer expects this investment to have an immediate impact on market reactivity, win rates, and a hard cost on FTEs across their go to market organization. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:05:41At UKG, we identified and unlocked an opportunity to transform their territory planning, account scoring, and first party data enrichment by improving data integrity across the organization using ZoomInfo Lab, data as a service, and our AI powered signals. We expanded our relationship with a leading management platform to develop a custom data as a service solution that amplifies their go to market engine and accelerates their initiative to grow their customer base of companies with more than 10 employees. By partnering with their business systems, engineering, and business intelligence teams, we analyzed company records and contacts against their ideal customer profile, identified white space opportunities, and delivered a new universe of data that integrates seamlessly into their existing go to market workflows. These accounts were all already in our 100 ks cohort of customers and all three more than doubled their spend year over year. This is a trend that we expect to continue to see within our customer base. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:06:46Our go to market motion is now designed to drive increased platform adoption and expansion across our existing upmarket customers. And while not reflected in our Q2 financial results, shortly after the close of the quarter, we signed the largest TCV deal in the history of ZoomInfo, reinforcing our upmarket growth potential. This is a nearly 8 figure annual contract across four years with an existing upmarket customer that materially extends their use of the ZoomInfo platform. This customer has been using ZoomInfo for over a decade, during which time they have increased annual spend by 40 x. What started as a simple contact lookup contract has evolved into a long term partnership that leverages our data, signals, and workflow activation layer with custom DaaS deliveries becoming embedded into their critical go to market workflows. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:07:42Customers like this one underscore how critical we are to organizations as they transform the way they go to market. Today, 72% of our ACV is coming from larger upmarket customers, an area where we see higher levels of profitability and accelerating revenue growth. As we successfully execute on our transition upmarket, we continue to invest behind this strategic shift. During our last earnings call, we made clear our intention to build the go to market intelligence platform. We continue to see great momentum on that journey throughout Q2 as enterprises move beyond access accessing data to demanding AI powered systems that can think, predict, and act on their behalf, positioning our solutions and platform as the intelligent backbone of their go to market operation. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:08:36First, with Copilot, our AI for frontline seller productivity. In the quarter, the first set of customers who adopted Copilot a year ago came up for their first renewal on the product. Though it's still early, we're observing renewal rates that are materially better than on legacy ZoomInfo sales and are performing better than expected. Since Q4 twenty twenty four, active users have increased their number of monthly AI actions by more than 40%, showing increasing adoption in daily workflows. We also expect continued traction upmarket as upgraded Copilot features and agents launch later this year. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:09:18Second, go to market studio is our operational counterpart to Copilot, enabling sales leaders and revenue operations teams to architect campaigns and strategies while Copilot executes against those strategies at the frontline. They're designed to work together, driving expansion across different personas and new use cases within the same enterprise account. Go to market studio went into early access in July with the first set of customers from our oversubscribed waitlist. We will be GA ing go to market studio ahead of schedule. And as it continues to scale across our customer base, we have an unprecedented opportunity to enable go to market leaders to actually deliver results with AI and automation. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:10:04Early customers are using GoToMarketStudio to generate insights faster than ever with just a fraction of the effort. Account scoring and prioritization, automated research and enrichment, turn prediction modeling, and competitive intelligence are some of the first features that our early users are embedding into their AI enabled workflows. We're eliminating data silos, automating manual tasks, and delivering real time buyer intelligence, ensuring every seller is engaging with the right accounts at the right time with the right message. With go to market studio, Copilot, and DaaS, our go to market intelligence platform is creating the unified data foundation for go to market AI. In Q2, we continue to automate the down market experience and where we're able to reduce and in some cases reallocate down market resources. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:10:57In this rapidly changing technology landscape, we will continue to be ahead of the curve in our internal adoption of AI, resourcing smaller but more productive teams. In one instance, we were able to restructure a team from more than 25 employees to two, leveraging AI to support the automated creation of content and the workflow to connect that content across the business. We deployed some of that excess headcount into upmarket sales roles where we continue to add headcount. We see these changes leading to better customer experiences while capturing efficiencies in the process and have a number of additional areas around the business where we believe we can reinvent our operating model powered by AI, resulting in better customer experiences, faster decisions, reduced headcount by leveraging AI, and improved margin performance. In the quarter, we were also able to be aggressive against our share buyback program, retiring 15,900,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $9.22 I'm committed to driving durable positive revenue growth, faster AOI growth, and even faster free cash flow per share growth via opportunistic and price sensitive buybacks. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:12:12Before I turn the call over to Graham, we announced today that we are naming him CFO. Graham first joined us as part of the Ranking acquisition in 2017 and has had a great track record over his eight plus years at ZoomInfo. He has done a fantastic job serving as our interim CFO, a period of time when we consistently delivered on expectations, redoubled our focus on profitable growth, and continued our shift upmarket. He has been a great partner to me and to the investor community, and I'm confident he is perfect for the job. It has been a highlight of my career to watch him grow into this role. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:12:48With that, I'll turn the call over to our chief financial officer, Graham O'Brien. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:12:53Thanks, Henry. I appreciate the kind words. I am excited about the opportunity, and I am confident that we will continue to accelerate along this promising trajectory as we focus on customer value and expanding up market. My philosophy as CFO is that the ultimate arbiter of the value of a business to its owners is the long term free cash flow per share it generates, and I will be dedicated to effectively delivering that. I'm committed to earning and keeping investor trust and recognize that we must compete for shareholders and their capital through superlative operating and financial performance. We have a real opportunity to reaccelerate revenue growth while prioritizing profitability and growing free cash flow per share, and I am confident that the path we are on will create meaningful shareholder value. Shifting to the results for the quarter. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:13:39Q2 GAAP revenue was $3.00 $7,000,000 and adjusted operating income was $105,000,000 a margin of 34%, both above the guidance ranges we provided. Year to date, revenue is up two percent and largely due to the down market sales seasonality of Q1, annualized sequential revenue growth was negative 0.8%. We delivered strong results in the quarter and as a result, we are raising our expectations for the full year. We are ahead of schedule in our shift up market and we are increasingly confident in the trajectory of the company and our path to consistently delivering rule of 40 results coupled with attractive dilution rates and declining stock based compensation expenses. We are now guiding to positive revenue growth for the full year 2025. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:14:25Copilot had another strong quarter and operations continued to grow greater than 20% year over year. Upmarket is now 72% of the business and upmarket growth is accelerating growing 4% year over year. The downmarket business is now down to 28% of total ACV and contributes even less of total adjusted operating income. Downmarket declined 11% year over year in the quarter and we remain confident that it will be a smaller and healthier version of itself over the long run. Our overall net revenue retention improved in the quarter to 89% and upmarket retention is at its highest level in years. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:15:00The growth in our 100 ks and million dollar customer cohorts was better than expected in Q2. Q2 is still a relatively noisy year over year comparison period and as we transition into the second half of the year, the year over year comparisons will become much cleaner. As we look to the back half of the year, we anticipate getting more insight will help us better understand renewal trends for early tranches of CoPilot customers, as well as customers that transacted to the new business risk model last year. While still very early, the results to date have been promising and give us incremental confidence in our longer term growth algorithm. As more of the business comes from larger upmarket customers, we see continued opportunities for higher levels of profitability. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:15:47We are confident in our ability to deliver improving levels of profitability with improving revenue growth, with margin expansion materializing over time and not always in a linear manner to upmarket mix shift. Turning to cash, operating cash flow was $109,000,000 in Q2 and unlevered free cash flow for the quarter was 100,000,000 a margin of 33%. In Q2, the company repurchased 15,900,000.0 shares of common stock at an average price of $9.22 for an aggregate $146,000,000 With the favorable market conditions, we accessed our revolving credit facility to meaningfully accelerate share repurchases during the quarter. Since inception, we have allocated more than $1,000,000,000 to share repurchases, retiring approximately 95,000,000 shares while maintaining comfortable leverage ratios. We expect to continue to primarily use the cash flow we generate to retire shares of ZoomInfo as we believe that will generate the best possible long term return for shareholders. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:16:50We ended the quarter with $177,000,000 in cash, cash equivalents and investments, and we carried $1,300,000,000 in gross debt. As a result, our net leverage ratio is 2.5 times trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA and 2.3 times trailing twelve months cash EBITDA, which is defined as consolidated EBITDA in our credit agreements. With respect to liabilities and future performance obligations, unearned revenue at the end of the quarter was $473,000,000 and remaining performance obligations or RPO were $1,150,000,000 of which $842,000,000 are expected to be recognized in the next twelve months. Turning to guidance for Q3, we expect GAAP revenue in the range of three zero two million dollars to $3.00 $5,000,000 We expect adjusted operating income in the range of 110,000,000 to $113,000,000 and non GAAP net income in the range of $0.24 to $0.26 per share. We are raising our guidance for the year and we now expect to deliver positive revenue growth for 2025. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:17:58For the full year 2025, we now expect GAAP revenue in the range of $1,215,000,000 to $1,225,000,000 representing positive 0.5% annual growth at the midpoint of guidance. Adjusted operating income in the range of $433,000,000 to $437,000,000 representing a 36% margin at the midpoint of guidance. We expect non GAAP net income in the range of $0.99 to $1.01 per share based on $346,000,000 weighted average diluted shares outstanding. And we expect unlevered free cash flow in the range of $422,000,000 to $442,000,000 Now, I will turn it over to the operator to open the call for questions. Operator00:18:43Thank you. And the first question is going to come from Brad Zelnick Your line is open. Brad ZelnickManaging Director at Deutsche Bank00:19:09Excellent. Thanks so much for taking the questions and congrats all around, especially to Graham and ZoomInfo on his appointment becoming official. Guys, I wanted to ask about the largest deal in history that you called out, which seems to be really strong validation of everything you've been telling us about the upmarket opportunity. What more is there to say about what actually drove it? And at a time where we hear everybody's becoming more efficient, to see this kind of expansion is amazing. Brad ZelnickManaging Director at Deutsche Bank00:19:37And just really quick, Graham, one for you, especially on your appointment as CFO, I don't want to leave you out. How should we think about the 6% RIF and its impact to next year? Thanks so much, guys. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:19:49Great. Thanks, Brad. So, the large deal that we talked about, it's a really nice win. It standardizes ZoomInfo as the enterprise data foundation and sales intelligence platform at one of the world's most sophisticated go to market organizations. That company is retiring a number of legacy tools. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:20:08We're embedding Copilot into a new CRM, and we're aligning sales, marketing, operations, and AI on a single go to market system that's powered by us. And we're really today at the center of a few key strategic priorities for any forward thinking company. Every company wants to consolidate data into a single source of truth and then enable real time activation across their go to market teams. They want their sellers and their marketers to move with AI driven insights and workflows, and they want to be able to drive better segmentation, better personalization, and better forecasting at enterprise scale. And they're looking to us to be able to deliver that. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:20:51So we're really proud of the new solutions that we've brought to market that enable us to be a key strategic partner in these large organizations. And we're excited that this is a great large first step into telling the customer base that we can be that kind of enterprise upmarket partner. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:21:12And, yeah, I can comment on the 6% reduction in force in June. I view this as a proactive measure as we continue to find pockets in the business where we can be more efficient. I would think about this as a step in our progression towards delivering meaningfully better margins in 2026. Brad ZelnickManaging Director at Deutsche Bank00:21:30Thanks so much for taking the questions, guys. Operator00:21:34Thank you. And the next question will come from Mark Murphy with JPMorgan. Your line is open. Mark MurphyExecutive Director at JPMorgan Chase00:21:42Thank you very much. And Graham, I will add my congrats on the news and very well deserved. I wanted to ask about Q2 in the month of June, which are big up market periods for you. Can you comment at all on the exit velocity there just in terms of close rates, but also how you think about pipeline build heading into the second half? Also within it, if you drill into the software vertical, is there any reason to think that that's turning the corner and maybe that that can become additive to your growth profile going forward rather than impairing it in the second half? Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:22:23Yeah, I think we can we feel really good about the pipeline we have heading into the back half of the year. Q2 and Q4 are our more upmarket weighted quarters and Q2, in our view, certainly didn't disappoint. We feel good, really good about the upmarket pipeline in Q4. And as we mentioned earlier in the call, we are starting to see early signs of better renewal outcomes, upmarket and downmarket as we get into Q3. So that's what makes us feel positive about the back half of the year. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:22:56And then from the software vertical, Q2 was our fifth sequential quarter in a row where we saw improving net dollar retention in the software vertical. And I can safely say that in Q2 software returned to being a contributor of growth to the business for the first time in a long time. Mark MurphyExecutive Director at JPMorgan Chase00:23:15Great to hear. Thank you very much. Operator00:23:18Thank you. And the next question will come from Elizabeth Porter with Morgan Stanley. Your line is open. Elizabeth PorterExecutive Director - Equity Research at Morgan Stanley00:23:26Great. Thank you so much. And I'll add my congratulations, Graham. My question on a recent CIO survey, we actually saw that sales was a top area where the adoption of AI was having an overall improvement in the cost base of the business unit. So I just wanted to delve a little deeper on the conversations you're uncovering as it relates to that greater efficiency. Elizabeth PorterExecutive Director - Equity Research at Morgan Stanley00:23:47And if that is driven more on the lower headcount side, is there any sort of framework or view on how much savings that customers you think can ultimately be captured by ZoomInfo? Thank you. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:24:01Elizabeth, I think when we're talking to our customers, they are obviously leaned in on trying to find opportunities to drive efficiencies in their go to market organizations leveraging AI, but they actually lack first the data foundation to be able to do that data from go to market tools and conversations with customers lives in a number of different areas. Some of it's in snowflakes, some of it's in CRM, some of it is in your conversation intelligence vendor. And then there's this huge universe of third party data that exists about your prospective customers or your existing customers that doesn't live in any of your first party systems. And so when we're talking to our customers, particularly go to market operators, what they're telling us is, yes, there's a lot we wanna do, but we have no centralized way to get the data together. And so we have a lot of creative ideas on the ways that we wanna work with AI, but we can't execute on those ideas because we got it. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:24:58We have to stand in line in a long IT queue to bring the data together, to pull it together for us to have a view of our customer base. And so what we're doing, what we've done with go to market studio is first get that data foundation right. And you're actually seeing that same desire to cleanse and enrich and have a strong data foundation show up in our growth numbers for our operations product, which were up 20% year over year where customers are now more than ever leaning into us and saying, Hey, I have some first party data, but I also need to marry that to third party data in order to be able to drive any of the AI initiatives internally at my company. And so we are seeing customers lean in there. They're looking for the right data foundation and then the right partner from a data and insights perspective. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:25:45And then we're building them workflow so that it's not just that data, but it's embedded inside of their workflow so they can take advantage of that data, take advantage of that insight. And we're seeing really strong results from being able to do that, particularly in the upmarket. Elizabeth PorterExecutive Director - Equity Research at Morgan Stanley00:26:03Great. Thank you. Operator00:26:05Thank you. And the next question comes from Kash Rangan with Goldman Sachs. Your line is open. Kash RanganManaging Director at Goldman Sachs00:26:13Hey, thank you very much. Congrats to Graham. We could see this coming when we hosted you guys. And I told you, Henry, that Graham was doing a great job, so nice to see the promotion. One for you, Henry. Kash RanganManaging Director at Goldman Sachs00:26:22As you take a take a step back, look at the the past three years of this gut wrenching downturn we've all lived through, because as analysts, we learn from our mistakes and things that don't work more than things that work. As you look at your business, one of the things that you've learned from the past three years that you will put to work in the future and that arms you better to make better decisions on the business, steer it forward, that you couldn't know three years ago. And also with with respect to AI, it feels like the the frontier models are truly magical, but everybody has access to these frontier models, everybody has the data, and it feels like the software community might overestimated how much it can charge for these AI products, And then you start to see some customer pushback, not on the value, not not on what it does, but how much they are willing to pay for it. So what is going to be enduring with the go to market AI solutions long term that you think you can be part of the the permanent stock of AI solutions in the future? Thank you so much. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:27:29Great, thank you, Kash. I'll try to hit all of these here. Look, I think from a learning perspective, you've heard us talk about this over the last year, but two things that really matter are the way we think about our customer base and the makeup of that customer base as well as product innovation. And I think when we were, if I were wound the clock three years, we weren't spending that much time thinking about where the next best customer should come from for us. There was, we're generating demand. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:28:01We're closing that demand quickly, but a lot of that demand was coming in the, in the far reaches of the down market. Those customers have the lowest lifetime value as customers of ZoomInfo. They churn at the highest rates. They grow at the lowest rates. And so when we took a look at the business and thought about what would drive durable growth for us for a decade to come, one of the big realizations was that in the upmarket, we have really sticky customers. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:28:30We have great product market fit. Those customers are vastly more profitable for us than their down market counterparts. They grow faster. They have higher net retention. I would tell you the second thing is around product innovation and getting close to our customers. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:28:48And so what we're, we've been able to do over the last, two years is really drive an innovation first product roadmap. We've rebuilt our product teams. We've rebuilt our engineering teams. We're closer to the customer and understand what they really want, what they want to invest in, what they care about. And we're building better software than we ever have before. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:29:08And we leaned way in on leveraging AI to drive efficiencies in that organization and deliver more product, more software at a higher velocity than we ever So our customers are getting better product from us. We're aligned to the right customer segments that drive long term durable growth. And then the third thing I would tell you is that our data advantage is way bigger than we ever imagined. And so we've invested even more behind our data advantage to make sure that our customers are getting the best third party data from us. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:29:38And when you think about your comments around the foundational model, yes, they've eaten up a lot of the publicly available information that exists or all of the publicly available information that exists, but we have a unique data asset that doesn't exist inside of the foundational model that is critical for customers to use to get in front of the right customers at the right time, and it's not available in a foundational model, and it's content context specific. And our customers are leveraging that to get ahead of their competition and have value beyond what they would get out of a ChatGPT wrapper. Kash RanganManaging Director at Goldman Sachs00:30:13Like your answers. Thank you so much, Henry. Operator00:30:17Thank you. And the next question will come from Koji Ikeda with Bank of America. Your line is open. Koji IkedaSenior Research Analyst - Software, Small & Midcap at Bank of America00:30:26Yes. Hey, guys. Thanks so much for taking the questions, Henry and Graham. And I too will add my congrats to Graham on the CFO role. Well deserved there, Graham. Koji IkedaSenior Research Analyst - Software, Small & Midcap at Bank of America00:30:35Okay. So I wanted to ask a question. Maybe this is geared towards Graham, a little bit more forward looking here. I look at Bloomberg and the Street growth estimates for 2026 and it's roughly close to 3%. And I do appreciate the guide up for the second half of this year, but it does imply an exit growth rate of about negative 1.6% for that fourth quarter. Koji IkedaSenior Research Analyst - Software, Small & Midcap at Bank of America00:31:03And of course, do understand there's a lot of nuances in the model here. But as the model begins to normalize in the second half, how do we think about that exit rate mismatch to where the streets at currently for 2026? Is there anything that we should really be focusing on here? Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:31:22Yeah, thanks, Koji. I'll start with the implied Q4 revenue figure that you're pointing out. I'll just say, with this raise to guidance out of this quarter, my philosophy hasn't changed. What's driving the raise is performance of the business and you could look at the guidance philosophy as consistent. That kind of helps with some context around the implied Q4 number. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:31:51And then kind of more pointedly on 2026, we feel great about our progress in '25 so far, but we still need to deliver Q3 and Q4. We feel great about doing that, but our success in doing so will really impact 2026 more than anything. So, we'll start talking about 2026 when we get closer to it. Koji IkedaSenior Research Analyst - Software, Small & Midcap at Bank of America00:32:13Thank you. Operator00:32:15Thank you. And the next question will come from Parker Lane with Stifel. Your line is open. Parker LaneDirector at Stifel Financial Corp00:32:22Hey, guys. Good afternoon, and thanks for taking the question. Graham, I think it's been about a year since you installed the business risk model, PLG and self serve motion on the down market piece of the business. I was just wondering if you could comment on how that's improved the margins of that segment. And as you march towards stabilization of down market, how much of an opportunity is there to drive some additional leverage in that piece in particular? Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:32:48Yeah. We continue to shift resources out of down market to drive up market growth. The down market result in Q2 was in line with our expectations. As a reminder, the up market business has significantly higher margins than the down market business. And our initial guidance model allowed for pretty significant degradation in down market growth. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:33:11With our updated guidance update this quarter, we're now expecting we're looking forward to a stabilization in the rate of the decline of the down market business in the back half of the year. We're seeing good renewal outcomes from customers who have gone through the business risk model. And we didn't actually optimize that new business risk model until Q3 last year, which is when we also restructured our packaging and pricing down market and segmented our new business account executives. So we have a little further to go to lap all of those operational changes, but we still feel as good as ever about the resource shift and the revenue shift upmarket and the opportunity for improving margins that we'll deliver. Parker LaneDirector at Stifel Financial Corp00:33:53Appreciate the feedback. Thank you. Operator00:33:56Thank you. The next question comes from Michael Turrin with Wells Fargo. Your line is open. Michael TurrinMD & Equity Research Analyst at Wells Fargo00:34:03Hey, great. Thanks very much. Appreciate you taking the questions. Graham, just on the segmentation commentary, did you say up market 4% growth and down market down 11%? I'm just we're working on the fly, but hoping you could help bridge how that translates to the 5% growth reported for the quarter. Michael TurrinMD & Equity Research Analyst at Wells Fargo00:34:21And then as a second part, touched on it a bit, but with the revenue increase running a bit ahead of the updates to the bottom line, are there certain areas of the business you're planning to invest back into a bit more given the upmarket motion you're seeing? Thanks. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:34:38Yes, sure. Yes, it was 4% upmarket growth Q2 year over year and negative 11% downmarket. The 5% revenue growth in Q2 bit of a noisy comparison there. We had some change in estimates in Q2 last year. So that's kind of the bridging item to get to that plus five year over year. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:34:59And then on the margins, like, you know, as we as we move up market, as we reaccelerate revenue, we do not view margin expansion and accelerating revenue growth as conflicting. If we, you know, If we do the math here, the upmarket business has significantly higher margins than our downmarket business by several thousand basis points. That implies that around 80% or more of our adjusted operating income can be attributed to the upmarket business. And that's why we continue to feel so confident in improving margins as we return to growth. That margin expansion won't be perfectly linear to upmarket shift, but we do have visibility to that as we exit 2025 and into 2026. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:35:42Our headcount is significantly lower than it was at the beginning of the year. It's essentially at levels where it was several years ago. We also have some fixed costs that came on in 2025 that should flatten out in 2026, and we should get some operating leverage related to those as well. Michael TurrinMD & Equity Research Analyst at Wells Fargo00:36:02Thank you. Operator00:36:05Thank you. And the next question will come from Alex Zukin with Wolfe Research. Your line is open. Alex ZukinMD & Software Equity Research at Wolfe Research LLC00:36:12Hey guys, thanks for taking the question. Graham, again, a huge congrats, I think from everybody in the community on the promotion. Maybe on NRR, again, you guys have mentioned this a few times, the improvement that you've seen over the past few quarters has been pretty substantial. I guess, what gives you the confidence that that can continue? Is there a way to think about the pacing of that improvement as we get through the rest of the year? Alex ZukinMD & Software Equity Research at Wolfe Research LLC00:36:39And then on profitability, we hear you on the reinvestment makes sense given the accelerating up market activity. You talk about operating margin leverage not being in conflict with that. Maybe help give us a little bit of a flavor of that because the full year raise on op income, a little bit less obviously than the pass through on the top line. How should we think about that trending over Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:37:03the course of the next year? Yeah, thanks, Alex. I'll start on the retention side, 89% in Q2, up two points sequentially, up four points from three quarters ago. We're still really focused on getting retention back into the 90s. We have the upmarket business where retention is improving within that segment. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:37:25The upmarket business is also becoming more and more of a mix of the business. So you almost get kind of that inorganic revenue or retention benefit from that. We also have a lot of opportunities within our current customers from a persona expansion perspective. Co pilot, go to market studio, that's going to allow us to sell to teams and seats in the existing customer base that we haven't previously sold to before. And with that mostly upmarket retention opportunity, stabilization down market, that two point retention improvement in Q2, again, that's before closing the largest TCV deal in our history in Q3. So we feel like we continue to have increasing momentum on this path back to 90% and above 90%. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:38:13And then on the margins, think it's I wouldn't really call it reinvestment. I think this is mostly timing. The margin benefit from some of the costs that come out from the points of mix shifts upmarket that we're getting from a revenue perspective almost every quarter. It doesn't immediately fall down to adjusted operating income. There are step functions of improvement here and we view this largely as a timing progression rather than a reinvestment. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:38:47With our resourcing plans with some of the costs that should level out as we get into 2026, we see good opportunity for margin improvement that kind of comes along with that upmarket shift as we reaccelerate revenue growth. Alex ZukinMD & Software Equity Research at Wolfe Research LLC00:39:04Perfect. Thank you, guys. Operator00:39:07Thank you. And the next question will come from Raimo Lenschow with Barclays. Your line is open. Raimo LenschowManaging Director at Barclays00:39:13Perfect. Thanks. Henry, on for you on Co Pilot. Like obviously in the industry, there's a lot of, you know, AI noise. A lot of people kind of are trying to come up with their own AI agent, Copilot kind of type offerings. Raimo LenschowManaging Director at Barclays00:39:28What are you seeing in terms of your your core pilots offering perception in the market? How does it stack up with the other guys? Can you speak to that a little bit more? And Graham, congrats from me as well. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:39:41Hey, Raimo. Thank you for the question. I actually, last quarter went through a number of our customers on Copilot and tested this question with them directly, wanting to understand where they saw advantages of Copilot, if they were seeing anything else in the market that rivaled it. And those meetings came out incredibly positive. We are ahead on the innovation curve from a product perspective. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:40:08We were the first ones to really get out there and go to market and offer a Copilot product. We've since significantly expanded that product. And later this year, we're gonna be releasing a really big product release around Copilot. We're calling it Copilot two point o internally at ZoomInfo, and it'll have significantly enhanced functionality, new agents that go to market organizations can leverage, can use for research and prospecting and account planning and the creation of PDFs for their customers. And so we're really excited about the fact that we got out, we got ahead, and now we have an opportunity to continue to expand the lead that we have with CoPilot. Raimo LenschowManaging Director at Barclays00:40:51Perfect. Thank you. Operator00:40:53Thank you. And the next question will come from Jackson Ader with KeyBanc. Your line is open. Jackson AderManaging Director at KeyBanc Capital Markets00:41:01Great. Good evening, guys. Thanks for taking the questions. My questions are both on the that large deal, the largest TCV deal. I guess just number one, how can you characterize maybe the ACV of that deal compared to the prior contract? Jackson AderManaging Director at KeyBanc Capital Markets00:41:17And then the other follow-up, Henry, you kind of hinted that this might be like this deal might be a signal to other potential upmarket customers. And so I'm curious whether you have any particular industries or other companies that have a similar look and feel that you can just kind of line up and then take this reference customer and go knock those down? Thank you. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:41:43Yeah, I can cover the first part. The ACV event deal after the deal was done is just below 8 figures. And that represented significant growth off of the prior ACV. You can think of significant growth of millions of dollars. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:42:03Yes, I think that is exactly what we expect to be able to do. There are dozens of customers who look like this customer within our account base who are already doing some business with us that we really have an opportunity to go in and show them how they can standardize on ZoomInfo from a data insights and AI agents perspective as they modernize their go to market organizations. I think the trend that we're seeing is our customers are leaning in more with us today than maybe they ever have. You can see that in the three customers I talked about, all of them doubled their, doubled their, their spend with zoom info year over year. And we see a lot of opportunity to continue to do that both in big monumental ways like we did with this customer and also in blocking and tackling and hitting doubles along the way where we can grow a customer from $250,000 to $500,000 or a $500,000 customer to a million dollar customer. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:43:00We have a tremendous customer base in the upmarket where we're now executing again. Jackson AderManaging Director at KeyBanc Capital Markets00:43:08Got it. Thank you. Operator00:43:10Thank you. And the next question will come from Taylor McGinnis with UBS. Your line is open. Taylor McGinnisEquity Research Analyst at UBS Group00:43:17Yes. And congrats, Graham, and thank you guys all for taking my question. Graham, for you, you made comments earlier that upmarket retention has been the highest in years. So what does NRR of the upmarket business look like today? And as we think about the path to get back to the 90s and higher, could you just provide a little bit more color on what the guide assumes? And any early thoughts as we think about 2026? Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:43:45Yeah. Thanks, Taylor. I think previously, had said that upmarket retention was in the mid-90s. We're above that now. On a trailing look back, the high-90s. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:43:56And I think if you looked at it from an in period activity perspective, it's about that. So we are executing and delivering significant improvement across 72% of our business with our largest customers. And as it relates to the guidance, the guidance for the upmarket business is that we get to mid single digit growth in 2025. We're really focused on getting to the top end of that range, if not above that range. And I think with retention where it is right now at market, we would have an opportunity to exceed that assumption. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:44:39And as you start to think about 2026, I mentioned it earlier, it's too early for us to talk about the specifics there. We've got a really big opportunity in Q3 and Q4 to go continue this momentum And then we'll be able to start talking about 2026. Taylor McGinnisEquity Research Analyst at UBS Group00:44:56Perfect. Thank you. Operator00:44:59Thank you. And the next question comes from Tyler Radke with Citi. Your line is open. Tyler RadkeMD, Senior Equity Research Analyst - Software at Citigroup00:45:08Yes, thank you very much for taking my questions. Graham, congrats again for me. In terms of the couple of questions just on kind of the emerging parts of the business. So co pilot, encouraging to hear the continued momentum there. I'm curious as you start to approach some of the co pilot renewals, which I think will be in the back half of this year, would you expect those contracts to grow faster than the initial point of sale? Tyler RadkeMD, Senior Equity Research Analyst - Software at Citigroup00:45:41Obviously, have been using Copilot in those situations for over a year. So do you think that could be a catalyst to reaccelerate NRR for folks that are using Copilot? And then secondly, just on the Operations Hub, I think you said growth there was above 20%. Did that accelerate versus last quarter or was that pretty consistent versus last quarter? Thank you. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:46:08Yeah, the thanks for the question. On the CoPilot part of it, when we rolled out CoPilot in May and in Q2 of last year, the initial transactions there are either new business transactions or their migrations from existing customers onto Copilot. We were very successful, I think, in getting uplifts on those transactions as we migrated the existing customer base onto Copilot. But what we've always said is that the Copilot and our other products are being designed and being built for customer success and to optimize for retention. So how does that customer renew one year in, two years in, three years in? Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:46:48Everything we're building, the approach we're taking to pricing is meant to optimize for adoption and stickiness. So now we're basically approaching this transition where we're going to start having material cohorts of CoPilot customers that have been using CoPilot for six months or a year start to renew. We got an early view on that at the end of Q2 for some of those initial cohorts and the early signs were good. We were getting meaningfully better renewal outcomes. Again, that's a small population, but getting meaningfully better renewal outcomes across a product that is a significant part of our business now, certainly could be an incremental tailwind to retention, even more so than or I guess in line with the tailwind we got from the initial migration. And then on operations, it's still 20% plus growth in the year over year. We had a really strong Q2 and we have not seen signs of deceleration in that number. Tyler RadkeMD, Senior Equity Research Analyst - Software at Citigroup00:48:03Great. Thank you. Operator00:48:05Thank you. And the next question will come from Brian Peterson with Raymond James. Your line is open. Brian PetersonManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:48:12Thanks gentlemen and congrats Graham on the new role. So I wanted to hit on net new. I'm curious how that's gone this year versus your expectations. And Henry, as we think about these upmarket customers looking at how they're treating data, do you think they'll make more standardized investments, I. E, bigger deal sizes versus what you've seen historically, maybe where they're taking a little bit smaller bites of the apple? Thanks, guys. Graham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfo00:48:40Yeah, I'll touch on the net new business first of I'll look at this upmarket versus downmarket. Our upmarket customer acquisition from an ACV perspective continues to grow year over year. And then downmarket, we're basically a year into the new business risk model where we were qualifying customers with more rigor. And by doing that, we are even disqualifying a not insignificant amount of new business ACV that we would have historically sold. So as we start to fully get through that complete lap in Q3, I think we're going be in a place where we are back to a steady state new business acquisition engine down market. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:49:25And then on the data deals, Brian, I think there are probably two things to think about here. I think one is what we're seeing from our customers is that the rhythm to buy data, to power their internal systems, to power their AI initiatives, to cleanse and enrich their CRM systems is much different than I've ever seen it before. What we're seeing from our customers is a recognition of the requirements to buy data to marry with their often out, almost always out of date inaccurate, incomplete data that they have internally that they're trying to use to drive an AI initiative. And so we're seeing bigger deals and more customers prepared to transact around leveraging data to cleanse, enrich, and enhance their own internal first party data in order to drive AI efficiencies in their business. That is a new motion. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:50:24We spent twenty years telling customers how important it was to make sure that the data and their CRM systems and their data warehouses were accurate and up to date and enriched and had signals associated with it. And that felt like a second or third order problem for many years. This is a first order problem in enterprises today, far different than it's been in years past, and that is leading to larger deals. The second thing that I would point you to is in the strategic enterprise, the highest end of the upmarket, they are sophisticated enough and know how to buy data. They buy data, they plug it into a workflow that goes into their CRM or their data warehouse. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:51:10They're sophisticated operators when it comes to leveraging data. They have data science teams and data engineering teams, and they can buy raw data and plug it into their systems and their workflows. The minute you move out of that highest end of the strategic enterprise, you get into companies that have far less sophistication. They're not used to buying data. They don't buy data files. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:51:32They don't have data engineering teams or data science teams to help them with anything. And so we would show up and not have a great solution that articulates the value of that data inside of their enterprises. With go to market studio, that gives us the software layer over what has historically been data as a service files or integrations into data warehouses or CRM systems through APIs, we now have a software interface that gives us the opportunity to go articulate the solution to revenue operations and sales operations and go to market leaders all across the upmarket, not just in the super strategic enterprise segment of our business. And so we're really excited about that opportunity to bring that solution, which is again our fastest growing solution in our portfolio to a much broader set of customers with go to market studio. Brian PetersonManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:52:28Thanks, Heather. Operator00:52:30Thank you. And the next question will come from Pat Walravens Your line is open. Austin ColeSoftware Equity Research Associate at Citizens JMP Securities, LLC00:52:39Great. Thanks for taking the question. This is Austin Cole on for Pat. Henry, question for you. At this point, anyone who is visiting San Francisco is going to see billboards for AI SDRs. Austin ColeSoftware Equity Research Associate at Citizens JMP Securities, LLC00:52:53And there's a bunch of small players in that space popping up. So I'm just wondering, is that something that's coming up in any of your conversations with customers? Do you kind of buy into that vision or why not? And how how does maybe an AI SDR stack up against Copilot from a product perspective? Thanks. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:53:16Yep. Lot of billboards, not a lot of productivity or revenue being generated for companies that have invested behind AI SDRs. I think a lot of pilots that don't turn into longer term contracts, what we're hearing from our customers is, again, that this is a that what they've seen across AI SDRs are a flash in the pan. There are a number of regulatory hurdles to using an AI SDR to go outbound that makes it in many cases, not a good use of technology. I think there are probably opportunities from an inbound perspective when someone fills out an inbound form to be able to correspond with that person using an AI SDR. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:53:58But I think the promise of the AI SDR has been largely overblown. I think the other thing that we're seeing from our Copilot solution is that it's not just SDRs who are leveraging that. We're seeing account executives, account managers, customer success managers who are leveraging Copilot to understand their customers better, to plan for meetings more thoroughly, to know what insights to bring to their customers, to know which customers to focus on because of signals that we're layering in and delivering to them. And so while SDRs are and will continue to be a meaningful part of our user base, we are seeing real expansion opportunity outside of that persona as well. Austin ColeSoftware Equity Research Associate at Citizens JMP Securities, LLC00:54:47Great. Thanks and congrats to Graham. Operator00:54:51Okay. And the next question will come from Surinder Thind with Jefferies. Your line is open. Surinder ThindEquity Research Analyst at Jefferies Financial Group00:54:59Thank you. Henry, just as we look at some of the wins that you've had, especially the bigger ones, it seems like there's a theme of consolidation there where you're displacing some competitors. Given the current environment, it seems like there's enough data points for clients to make bigger decisions at this point. There's enough comfort with the technology and the track records of products. Can you talk a little bit about that theme and if consolidation is where we think the next year or two is going to be in terms of growth, and then maybe we get that, you know, the growth in headcount within sales after that period of how we should maybe think about those dynamics. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:55:41Yep. I think the first thing I would tell you is we are seeing increased opportunities for consolidation across the go to market tech stack. I would tell you two years ago, we were not in a position to take advantage or be a beneficiary of that consolidation push. But today, our product innovation has put us in a position to be a beneficiary there. And so we're seeing customers now consolidate on ZoomInfo. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:56:07Their sales teams are on it. They want their marketing teams on it. They want their rev ops teams on Zoom info as well. And so we have a real opportunity and have seen it across our customer base. We are winning on consolidation across the go to market organization. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:56:22I don't know if that's gonna be the biggest driver of growth in the next twelve months. I think there are big drivers of growth in DAS and go to market studio and continuing expansion of CoPilot, but I do think it will be a contributor to growth as we go forward. Surinder ThindEquity Research Analyst at Jefferies Financial Group00:56:41Thank you. Operator00:56:43Thank you. And that is the last question that we have for today. And I would now like to turn the call over to Henry for any closing remarks. Henry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEO at ZoomInfo00:56:54Great. Thank you, everybody, for joining us on this journey. We're confident about the balance of the year as we continue to move the business upmarket, and we're releasing some really exciting new solutions to our customer base over the back half of the year and look forward to briefing you on them. Thank you. Operator00:57:11This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating, and you may now disconnect.Read moreParticipantsExecutivesHenry SchuckFounder, Chairman of the Board & CEOAnalystsJerry SisitskyVP, IR at ZoomInfoGraham O’BrienCFO at ZoomInfoBrad ZelnickManaging Director at Deutsche BankMark MurphyExecutive Director at JPMorgan ChaseElizabeth PorterExecutive Director - Equity Research at Morgan StanleyKash RanganManaging Director at Goldman SachsKoji IkedaSenior Research Analyst - Software, Small & Midcap at Bank of AmericaParker LaneDirector at Stifel Financial CorpMichael TurrinMD & Equity Research Analyst at Wells FargoAlex ZukinMD & Software Equity Research at Wolfe Research LLCRaimo LenschowManaging Director at BarclaysJackson AderManaging Director at KeyBanc Capital MarketsTaylor McGinnisEquity Research Analyst at UBS GroupTyler RadkeMD, Senior Equity Research Analyst - Software at CitigroupBrian PetersonManaging Director at Raymond James FinancialAustin ColeSoftware Equity Research Associate at Citizens JMP Securities, LLCSurinder ThindEquity Research Analyst at Jefferies Financial GroupPowered by
