Latest quarter
Snowflake reported Q2 FY2027 revenue of $1.5 billion, exceeding the consensus by 4.91% even though the reported and consensus figures both round to $1.5 billion. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.62, above the consensus estimate of $0.45.
Revenue rose 35.1% from $1.1 billion a year earlier. In its filing, Snowflake attributed the increase in product revenue primarily to existing customers consuming more of its platform. The company said it recognizes revenue as customers use compute, storage and data transfer resources.
Snowflake reported a diluted loss per share of −$0.55, compared with a loss of −$0.89 a year earlier. Gross margin slipped to 67.0% from 67.5%, while operating margin moved to −17.0% from −29.7%. The filing attributed a decline in product gross margin primarily to costs for newer capabilities that had not yet reached economies of scale. Free cash flow rose to $83.8 million from $56.9 million.
