Ara Mahdessian
Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Jason, and thank you for joining us. I'm excited to share that our strong momentum delivering the agentic operating system for the trades resulted in 21% year-over-year revenue growth and record free cash flow this quarter. Over the course of the year, it has become increasingly obvious that delivering this agentic operating system to our customers and leveraging AI to further enhance our own organizational velocity are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to execute against. As a result, we've broadened the scope of our investments in both Max and the software factory in absolute dollars and also relative to our expectations at the beginning of the year. We now believe that focusing on our existing trades and accelerating our shift towards MAX will allow us to unlock the full potential of our business in the years ahead. Vahe will share more about our MAX execution, Dave will discuss the financial implications of this mix shift, and I'm excited to lead with the outcomes that our customers are realizing with MAX today. Our vision since founding Service Titan has been to transform the lives of hardworking contractors by helping them grow revenue and increase margins. From day one, we imagined a world where technicians focused on serving customers in the field, leaders focused on business outcomes, and Service Titan increasingly handled the operational complexity in between. The outcomes our customers are now seeing would match and our organizational readiness to lean into this success gives me even more clarity into our forward trajectory. As many of you know, we introduced MAX as a pilot program at Pantheon last September, where Stacey Annapol was sitting in the audience. Stacey, the co-owner and president of Del Ponte Plumbing and Heating, saw immediate potential in MAX. She saw an operating system with a singular company brain connected to every piece of context in her business, and armed with the ability to take action on key workflows in our operation. One that can automate and optimize our business generated demand, booked appointments, sold work, managed payroll and inventory and more. Allowing their team to handle far more volume with the same headcount. Del Ponte has been in business for nearly 50 years and first implemented Service Titan in 2023 when Stacy took over as president. Their initial goal was straightforward, to build a better company for their customers, their employees, and the future of the business. I'm glad to share that their PalmPage results have been extraordinary so far. Stacey's revenue grew more than 35% year-over-year during Q1 2026 and more than 45% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2026, accelerating as the quarter went on. With Max, Del Ponte generated more calls, booked more appointments, and closed more sales with higher average tickets. But what impressed me most wasn't the revenue growth. It was what the operating model allowed them to do next. Del Ponte launched a new vertical entirely around recurring service. In just three months, they've already served 400 customers, all without adding a single back office employee. Del Ponte's technician-to-admin ratio improved from 2 to 1 in 2025 to 3 to 1 in 2026, materially improving profitability. Whereas technicians often work long hours during peak season to serve every customer and the office is typically overextended, technicians average only 45 hours per week and office morale has never been stronger. As I said last quarter, the power that Max unlocks means the work that used to require a group of people manually coordinating an operation is now orchestrated by the system itself, with humans and AI agents working together, each doing what they do best. Del Ponte is proving something we believed from the beginning. When routine coordination is handled automatically, leaders spend less time coordinating work and more time coaching people, serving customers, and growing the business. We see this as just the beginning and are excited to announce the next big wave of innovation at Pantheon in October. We are focused on leveraging the Max platform and our massive proprietary dataset, expanding ecosystem, brand leadership, and distribution across more than 10,000 high-performing contractors to bring the magic of end-to-end automation to life. Before I conclude, I want to take a moment to thank Ross Biesman for building Service Titan into the business we are today. We announced earlier that after leading us from less than $30 million in ARR to over a billion of annualized run rate revenue, Ross has decided to step away from an operating role, but not before closing through Pantheon and Q3 as our CRO and then serving as an advisor through the end of the fiscal year to ensure a smooth transition. Ross, I am grateful for your leadership and your friendship over the past nine years. Being the leader that you are, you've also built a bench of exceptional leaders and a world-class go-to-market machine. Rikus Pretorius has served as our SVP of worldwide sales and Ross's right hand for over seven years. We have great confidence that we have the right sales leadership team to lead us forward as Rikus steps into the CRO role beginning in Q4. Now, let's hear more from my co-founder, Vahe.
