On February 26, 2025, Salesforce Inc (CRM, Financial) released its 8-K filing detailing the financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025, ending January 31, 2025. Salesforce, a leader in enterprise cloud computing solutions, offers a comprehensive suite of customer relationship management technology through its Customer 360 platform, which integrates customer data across various systems to enhance sales, service, marketing, and commerce operations.
Salesforce Inc (CRM, Financial) reported a fourth-quarter revenue of $10.0 billion, marking an 8% year-over-year increase, which was below the analyst estimate of $10,036.90 million. The company's annual revenue reached $37.9 billion, also up 9% year-over-year, which was below the estimated $37,942.39 million. Despite these achievements, Salesforce faces challenges such as maintaining growth momentum and managing operational costs in a competitive software industry.
Salesforce's financial achievements are noteworthy, particularly its operating cash flow of $13.1 billion, which increased by 28% year-over-year. This robust cash flow is crucial for sustaining innovation and expansion in the software industry. Additionally, the company's total remaining performance obligation rose to $63.4 billion, up 11% year-over-year, indicating strong future revenue potential.
The company's GAAP operating margin for FY25 was 19.0%, while the non-GAAP operating margin stood at 33.0%. These margins reflect Salesforce's ability to manage expenses effectively while driving revenue growth. The free cash flow of $12.4 billion, up 31% year-over-year, further underscores the company's financial health.

We had an incredible quarter and year, with strong performance across all our key metrics, including the highest cash flow in our company’s history and more than $60 billion in RPO," said Marc Benioff, Chair and CEO of Salesforce. "No company is better positioned than Salesforce to lead customers through the digital labor revolution."
Salesforce's strong financial performance in FY25, characterized by significant revenue and cash flow growth, positions the company well for future expansion. The company's focus on integrating AI and data cloud solutions has resonated with customers, as evidenced by the 120% year-over-year increase in Data Cloud & AI annual recurring revenue. However, Salesforce must continue to innovate and manage operational efficiencies to maintain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving software industry.
For FY26, Salesforce has initiated revenue guidance of $40.5 billion to $40.9 billion, reflecting a 7% to 8% year-over-year growth. The company also projects a GAAP operating margin of 21.6% and a non-GAAP operating margin of 34.0%, indicating continued focus on profitability and operational efficiency.
