Co-Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Byron, and thank you everyone for joining us today. Monday.com delivered a strong start to 2026. Q1 revenue grew 24% year-over-year, reflecting sustained demand for our platform as enterprises consolidate their work infrastructure. We generated a record $49 million in operating profit, demonstrating that our growth is increasingly efficient. Adjusted free cash flow margin expanded to 29%, underscoring the financial durability of our business model. Gross retention continued to improve in Q1, reaching historical highs for the company, reflecting how DeeplyMonday.com is embedded in how our customers run their businesses. Enterprise momentum continued to build with 42% of ARR coming from our customers with over $50,000 in ARR. A record number of new customers with over 500K in ARR and average contract values continued to expand. reinforcing that the consolidation of work infrastructure onto Monday.com is a durable enterprise-led trend. The market is also responding to our AI product. Approximately 10% of our net new ARR in Q1 was driven by AI, a figure we expect to grow as our AI offering expand and mature. We are also seeing the benefits of AI play out in SignedMinder.com itself. Since 2025, AI has driven a 32% increase in our output per developer and a 38% reduction in product time to market. AI gives our engineers the bandwidth to be more rigorous about the architecture, edge cases, and long-term maintainability. The result is a team that ships more and breaks less. We believe this is an early but meaningful signal of what AI-native engineering looks like in practice, and we intend to keep pushing on that frontier. Now, let me turn it over to Eran to walk you through some of the significant progress we've made in our AI-driven products during the quarter.
