spk01: Thanks, Mike. And thank you, everyone, for joining us today. We delivered another quarter of substantial growth at scale, with ending ARR of $724 million, growing 47% year over year. We saw record quarter-over-quarter growth in our $100,000-plus customers by adding over 120 net new large customers. We now have over 1,100 large customers, including many Fortune 1000 companies, across a wide range of physical operations industries. We also continue to improve our operating leverage. In the last year, we've improved our non-GAAP operating margins from negative 26% to negative 10%, and our adjusted free cashflow margins from negative 38% to negative 9%. During the quarter, Samsara's chief product officer, Jeff Hausman, and I met with over 30 customers across North America and Europe. I'm always inspired by the strength and resilience of our customer base. Our customers are the critical infrastructure that power the global economy, and their industries make up over 40% of the world's GDP. They span diverse industries that include food distributors, chemicals companies, energy utilities, freight carriers, and municipalities. Many of them have been around for over half a century, so they're no strangers to the challenging economic cycles. Our customers are essential. They keep the world running and are incredibly resilient. In this macroeconomic uncertainty, our customers are focused on achieving their business goals. They're looking for new ways to maximize every dollar invested into their businesses. Right now, they're focused on asset efficiency, worker availability, and maintaining safe and compliant operations. As a system of record for physical operations, Samsara delivers value across each of these areas by digitizing their day-to-day tasks and workflows. Clear and direct ROI continues to be a priority for physical operations customers. They love investing in technology when it's a clear win. Let's take a look at a few notable case studies from existing Samsara customers in waste services, critical infrastructure, and transportation who've been able to quantify their ROI since adopting our platform. The results they've shared with us are pretty incredible. A waste transportation and container rental company in Texas adopted Samsara to improve driver safety and safeguard their drivers from false accusations. With Samsara's video-based safety driver coaching, they decreased speeding by 58% in one year. They also helped exonerate drivers from more than 50% of accidents. This application alone equated to an estimated savings of $500,000 in annual insurance premiums, representing a five-month payback period for their entire multi-product investments. They've also turned their safety culture into a retention multiplier. In this instance, their driver turnover rate dropped to 26%, which is three times lower than the industry average of 80 to 90%. Retaining skilled workers is a massive cost reduction lever and is especially important given today's labor shortage. Inflationary pressures remain top of mind for our customers. Samsara's platform is a deflationary technology with a proven ability to help customers control costs. Let's take a look at another example, a leading infrastructure provider serving more than 40 states who subscribe to multiple Samsara products, vehicle telematics, video-based safety, and equipment monitoring. They saved an estimated $11 million by using Samsara's equipment monitoring to optimize asset usage across their multiple subsidiaries, representing a five-month payback period for their entire multi-product Samsara investment. With real-time operational data, they've identified inefficiencies in their equipment usage and sold their underutilized equipment, freeing up cash flow to invest in other areas. Optimizing asset utilization is a particularly relevant topic for physical operations customers who now face record wait times for new vehicles and equipment. Let's turn to how Samsara customers can drive ROI by improving and measuring their sustainability efforts. More and more of our customers are focused on carbon reporting and sustainability. Samsara's Connected Operations Cloud helps them measure and reduce fuel and energy usage, electrify their fleets, and monitor carbon emissions. Here we're looking at a less than truckload carrier based in Illinois with subscriptions to multiple Samsara products that include telematics, video-based safety, and sites. They were drawn to Samsara because we can provide a complete platform that helps them reduce their fuel usage, improve safety, and cut back on paperwork and inefficient processes. Since deploying our telematics across their entire fleet, they've reported an improvement in fuel efficiency and a 50% decrease in idling, which is a significant source of fuel waste. This one feature alone translated to approximately 150,000 gallons of fuel saved and over $500,000 in cost savings per year, representing an eight-month payback period for their entire investment in Samsara products. These case studies represent a snapshot of how Samsara customers are getting clear and fast ROI to our platform. As a system of record for our customers' daily physical operations, the amounts of insights and cost savings our platform can generate is tremendous. Trillions of data points now flow to our platform every year, providing companies with rich insights that can help them control costs, improve safety, and reduce emissions. What makes our data unique is not the sheer volume alone, it's the breadth and depth of the data. We are able to pull data from all aspects of a company's physical operations, from vehicles to equipment to buildings. All of this business critical data exists in an open platform and can be seamlessly integrated with a robust ecosystem of partners, including OEMs, IT systems, insurance providers, and vertical specific applications. This quarter, we reached an important milestone. We added our 200th partner integration to our platform. This makes Samsara the largest open ecosystem for physical operations. Similar to leading cloud providers, leading cloud platforms that exist to deliver actionable insights for IT workers, Samsara allows physical operations leaders to have a single source of truth as our system of record for physical operations. As the scale of our data compounds, we're able to refine our analytics models to deliver even richer insights and innovation for our customers. This quarter, we launched our proactive driver coaching solution. It's powered by our data asset and our advanced AI capabilities. With it, customers can take a preventative approach to driver safety. Technology solutions like this help build safe habits on the road, empower drivers to own their coaching experience, and act as a differentiator for companies as they look to attract and retain talent. But we're not only focused on building products, we're also focused on building our company for the long term. Digitally transforming the world of physical operations isn't going to happen overnight. To be a multi-decade partner for our customers, we must become a self-sustaining company. This was our 10th consecutive quarter of delivering year-over-year improvements to our non-GAAP operating loss in both dollars and margins. Over that same period, we've scaled ARR over 3X from $222 million to $724 million. We're committed to operating efficiently on our path to profitability. Like our customers, we're focused on investing in the highest ROI areas of our business. We also continue to invest in our people. Samsara has become a destination of choice for top tier talent. This quarter, we welcomed Steve Pickle as Samsara's first chief people officer. Steve joins us from Salesforce, where he oversaw global people strategy and operations and helped double Salesforce's headcount. Steve's experience leading and growing large-scale transformative teams and cultures will be instrumental as we grow and develop our talent pool. We benefit from a flexible workplace model at Samsara and have offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. By expanding our operations, we leverage the efficiencies of a global talent pool. This allows us to bolster customer support and accelerate region-specific go-to-market strategies. It's been an exciting quarter of efficient growth across our product offerings, partnerships, executive leadership, and global footprint. We are proud to serve a diverse and resilient range of essential industries. Samsara's customers keep our world running, and we are here to help keep them running safely, efficiently, and sustainably by streamlining their operations, reducing their cost stacks, and providing clear and direct ROI. I'd like to end with a thank you to all Samsarians, as well as our customers, partners, and investors for your continued support. While there's much to be proud of today, I know the best is yet to come. I'll now hand it over to Dominic to go over the financial highlights for the quarter.
spk03: Thank you, Sanjit. As a reminder, please refer to our shareholder letter, press release, and investor presentation at investors.samsara.com for additional information on our Q3 results and financial guidance. Q3 was highlighted by strong top line growth and continued operating efficiency improvements. Our durable and increasingly efficient growth demonstrates the large and growing opportunity for digital transformation across the world of physical operations. While global economic uncertainty persists, we exceeded our expectations for key top line and profitability metrics by providing quick time to value and meaningful ROI savings for our customers. Q3 ending ARR was $724 million, growing 47% year over year, and Q3 revenue was $170 million, growing 49% year over year. Several factors drove our strong top line performance in Q3. First, we continue to focus on serving large physical operations customers. In Q3, we eclipsed 1,000 large customers and now have 1,113 customers with more than 100K of ARR, a record quarterly increase of 124 and a record annual increase of 398 representing 56% year over year growth. Next, Samsara is increasingly utilized as the system of record for physical operations, and multi-product transactions continue to significantly contribute to our top line growth. In Q3, six of our 10 largest transactions included subscriptions to two or more products. More broadly, more than 70% of core customers and more than 90% of large customers subscribe to two or more applications, and more than 50% of large customers subscribe to three or more applications. We're also seeing multi-product strength at scale. At the end of Q3 are two connected fleet applications, video-based safety, and vehicle telematics, each represented more than 300 million of ARR. Additionally, our emerging products contributed more than 14% of net new ACV in Q3, including our third largest ever equipment monitoring transaction. And while just over 10% of ARR comes from non-fleet products today, customer adoption is much higher. Almost half of multi-product core customers and two-thirds of multi-product large customers already subscribe to non-fleet products. This demonstrates our product breadth and opportunity for further expansion as customers bring additional assets onto the Samsara platform. Lastly, we continue to see strong expansions within our customer base, including upsells of existing products across a broader set of assets and cross-sells of additional products. As a result, 55% of Q3 net new ACV came from existing customers, and our dollar-based net retention rate for core customers and large customers remained above our targets of 115% and 125% respectively. Our largest Q3 customer expansion was a $1 million plus upsell to a Fortune 500 telecommunications provider. With no incumbent solution, the customer selected Samsara to help them reduce fuel costs and maintenance spending, improve safety through speeding reduction, and decrease carbon emissions from idling. As a result, we expect the customer will achieve a 3.6x return on investment. In addition to delivering top line growth, we continue to focus on driving operating efficiency improvements across our business as we scale. As a result, we saw year-over-year leverage across all major functions. Q3 gross margin was 74%, a year-over-year improvement of two percentage points, primarily from product and supply chain optimizations and larger scale. Q3 operating margin was negative 10%, an annual improvement of more than 60% or 16 percentage points year over year, driven by leverage across all functions. And Q3 adjusted free cash flow margin was negative 9%, an annual improvement of more than 75% or 29 percentage points year over year, primarily from continued improvements in the global supply chain and working capital optimizations. In Q3, adjusted free cash flow margin converged with operating margin, and we expect these metrics to be more closely aligned moving forward. We also achieved Rule of 40 in the quarter, a milestone that demonstrates our focus on efficient growth. While we're pleased with this accomplishment in Q3, our goal is to continue making improvements that allow us to achieve Rule of 40 consistently on a quarterly and annual basis. Okay, now turning to guidance. Based on our Q3 results and increased forecast clarity for the last fiscal quarter of the year, we're raising our revenue and profitability guidance, both in dollars and margin. For FY23, we're raising our revenue guidance to be between 636 and 638 million, or between 48 and 49% year-over-year growth. We're improving our full year operating margin guidance to approximately negative 14% and we're raising our EPS guidance to be between negative 16 and 17 cents. Based on our updated full-year FY23 guidance, Q4 implied revenue is expected to be between 170 and 172 million, or between 35 and 37% year-over-year growth. Q4 operating margin is expected to be approximately negative 16%, and EPS is expected to be between negative 5 and 6 cents. Looking to next year, based on our current outlook and after analyzing various scenarios, we believe current consensus estimates for high 20% FY24 revenue growth is appropriately de-risked. On our next earnings call, we will provide more detailed FY24 guidance based on our actual Q4 performance and our finalized operating plan. And finally, we also included some additional modeling notes for Q4 and full year FY23 in our shareholder letter. To wrap up, while we're operating in an uncertain macroeconomic environment, we are pleased with our performance year to date. We are digitizing the world of physical operations, and our cloud is becoming our customer's system of record. As a result, we remain committed to driving durable growth along with improved operating efficiencies on our path to profitability. With that, I'll hand it over to Mike to moderate Q&A.
spk04: Thank you, Dominic. We will now open the lineup for questions. When it's your turn, please limit your questions to one main question and one follow-up question. The first question today comes from Bob Wang at Morgan Stanley, followed by Sterling Audie at Moffitt Nathanson.
spk00: Hi, thanks for taking my question. Congratulations on a strong quarter. Maybe if I can just focus a little bit on net new ARR. Last quarter, obviously, you had a much more difficult comp for net new ARR. Can you talk about if there were any impacts to net new ARR this quarter, such as macro environment, elongated cycles, or anything particular that could be called out? I'm trying to have a better understanding of what could be the potential run rate in that new AR going forward.
spk03: Sure. Hey, Bob, it's Dominic. So I'd say a few things. On the Q2 earnings call, we mentioned that we were seeing some elongation of sales cycles, that the demand was still very strong, the pipeline was very strong, the conversion and win rates were really strong. But we were seeing... longer free trial periods, higher levels of approval and really analyzing ROI analysis with much more rigor. We continue to see a similar amount of sales cycles and similar kind of length in Q3, so no real change in Q3 versus where we were in Q2. So that's kind of the point I would make on macro. And the second is really, again, back to our overall sales capacity. And so obviously, we've really been focused on hiring this year and building more sales capacity that is ramping, that we think will provide more productivity as we get into FY24, but is still not as ramped. It generally takes about four quarters for sales reps to ramp. And so that obviously is also having an impact on our Q3 results.
spk00: Okay, thanks. That's very clear. Just for my follow-up on that point, actually, is it fair to say that the elongated sales cycle is not that customers are canceling their discussions with you, but rather just dragging out the conversation? And if so, is it fair to assume that in the first half next year or second half next year that you will see a lot of these delayed deals to be completed thus resulting in somewhat of a higher than normal growth rate in your deals or in your net new AR and such?
spk03: No, again, yeah. So the pipeline is strong and the conversion win rates remain at historic levels. So we're not seeing the pipeline reduce and we're not seeing that pipeline not converting. All of that is still happening. It's just taking a little bit longer. And again, I would really categorize that Q3 looked very much like Q2. It did not get worse. um but those deals are still closing and and they're not taking much longer to close we're talking weeks maybe maybe months and so some of the deals that we saw uh that we thought could have landed in q2 ultimately closed at the beginning of of q3 so these aren't things that are that are pushing all the way into into into into next year okay thank you again uh again congratulations on the quarter our next question today comes from sterling audit moffett nathanson followed by alex zuk and at wolf
spk08: Yeah, thanks. Hi, guys. So just wondering, when you look at the big customers that you landed in the quarter, what budgets are they funding these projects out of? And the reason why I ask is wondering how that prioritization will kind of carry through into next year, given the tougher macro outlook that we that we see.
spk01: Hey, Sterling. This is Sanjit. So our customers are concentrated within the operations organization. So it could be VP of operations or a COO. And that's typically the budget that it comes out of. This is the same budget, by the way, that also is related to their accident and insurance payouts, their operating efficiencies and the capital equipment they're buying. So for us, there's a direct correlation between adopting our platform and being able to save money and gain ROI in those areas. So it's that same buyer. It's that same kind of budget center.
spk08: Tad Piper- Excellent and then just to follow up would be geographically, do you think that there's going to be a different level of impact on demand, you know, in light of the macro headwinds.
spk03: We're not seeing that. We have a focus in North America, Canada, US, Mexico, and then Western Europe. This was actually our best international quarter slightly. About 15% of our net new ACV came internationally, and it was pretty well spread amongst those different geographies. And so it's not a tremendously meaningful portion of our overall net new ACV, but it is significant. a good chunk, and it is growing quickly. And we're not seeing a lot of change on the international front.
spk08: Understood. Thank you.
spk04: All right. Our next question comes from Alex Zucan at Wolf, followed by Matt Pfau at William Blair.
spk09: Hey, guys. Can you hear me okay?
spk04: Yes. Yeah.
spk09: Perfect. So I guess maybe just one A, just better understanding, again, the tone of the macro. Dom, it sounds like the macro, the sales cycle length has been roughly static from your comment previously from Q2 to Q3, but... I guess, how is it trending in November versus maybe end of October? Because you did have the largest amount of 100,000 customer ads in a quarter, while others are calling out difficulty with closing larger deals. So it's somewhat counterintuitive. And if you could comment on kind of what that trend line is, is it starting to stabilize at a kind of net new level, or are you assuming it to get worse?
spk03: Yeah. Hey, Alex. So, again, I think that our business is holding up really well. We're really pleased with the Q3 results. When we look at our customer demand, the overall pipeline, the conversion weights, the win rates, you know, all of those remain strong. Obviously, we're pleased with the Q3 results. We were able to increase our guidance for Q4 and for a full year, you know, FY23. And so we're seeing good strength and we're not seeing it deteriorate. And I think a big reason that we're seeing good momentum is because as we outlined in some of the case studies, we have really fast ROI. Customers are getting paid back within months and they're using our solution to find real hard ROI savings. They're able to reduce their operational expenses. And in this environment, you know, that often can get prioritized.
spk09: Got it. And then for my second question, it'll be a bit of a smart-ass question, but given the fact that you called out consensus estimates as the ruler for next year, kind of being in the right range from a risk or de-risk perspective, I guess I want to question whether the consensus estimates around margins are also the right way to think about de-risking and then particularly in the context of your comments about the Rule 40.
spk03: Yeah, I would just say, look, we want to get through Q4. We want to see what our results are. We want to finalize our FY20 for operating plan. And then we'll come back in three months and we will give more detailed guidance across top line and margins. But I think you've seen our performance. We improved adjusted free cash flow margin by more than 75% over the last year. This is a really big focus for us. We're really proud of the fact that we got to rule of 40 in Q3. We need to be able to make improvements to sustain that. But you can expect us to continue to make improvements on that as we go into FY24 as well. Perfect. Congrats, guys. Thank you.
spk02: right our next question comes from matt fow at uh william blair followed by kirk maturn at evercore yeah great thanks for taking my questions everyone appreciate it um just two both related so i'll ask them at the same time first of all if we look at the operating uh efficiencies that you're achieving maybe you can just help us understand you know where exactly those are coming from and you know specifically are there any change to hiring plans that are driving those. And then as we look at the margin guidance for the fourth quarter, it implies operating margin worse than Q3. Maybe you can just help us understand what's behind the guidance there for Q4. Thanks.
spk03: Yeah. Hey, Matt. So it's Dominic. Again, so when we think about our operating margin improvement for the quarter, obviously, we had some outperformance in revenue, which definitely helped us. We had some savings around gross margin came in a little bit better than expected. And then within our operating expenses, really across the board, we're focused on just overall operating efficiency improvements, but also some non-personnel related spend. So can we find software spend that we're not utilizing? Can we think about our unused real estate? Can we think about being more thrifty around things like T&E and events? And so those are all areas of focus and projects that we've built to drive some of the operating efficiency improvements that you've seen. In terms of the Q4 guide, I would really just focus investors on the full year guide versus the kind of seasonality between Q3 and Q4. And so overall operating margin for the year was negative 18%. Previously, now it's negative 14%. We are basically passing through... you know, the $14 million of beat in Q3 plus another $6 million for Q4. So I would really focus investors on the full FY23 guidance versus the kind of Q3 versus Q4 seasonality.
spk02: Perfect. Appreciate it.
spk04: Our next question comes from Kirk Maturna at Evercore, followed by Derek Wood at Cowen.
spk05: Hi, guys. This is actually Peter Berkley. I'm for Kirk. Appreciate you taking the questions here. So just to start, you know, you guys are delivering pretty strong NRR rates. I'm just curious how you kind of characterize the balance between, you know, customers starting to go deeper with some of your more ancillary products versus, you know, just as these customers grow and they're adding new vehicles, you know, adding the safety and telematics solutions there. Because, you know, I mean, I would assume a customer adds new vehicles and if they're using you for safety, you know, that that's just automatic addition right there, you know, just kind of naturally, but just curious, you know, kind of how much those ancillary products are driving that, if at all.
spk01: This is standard, by the way, so it's really a mix. We see customers adding additional assets to the platform as they continue to expand their operations and additional applications so quite often will land with two or more applications but in many cases, some of these customers if they're larger especially they have a single project that they start with might be telematics or video based safety or maybe even equipment monitoring. And then from there, once they get familiar with the platform, they see how much value in ROI it drives, they want to expand us kind of across their entire operation. So I would say it's a pretty healthy mix between those two cases of expanding the number of seats or assets on the platform, as well as expanding the applications with us.
spk03: Maybe I'll just add in one more. Just our overall go-to-market motion and the way that we incentivize the sales reps is really just commission rate tied to overall net new ACVs. Whether that's a new logo or an expansion to an existing customer, they're incentivized to go out and get as much net new ACV as possible. We're seeing really good balance right now. As we mentioned, 55% of our net new ACV in Q3 was were tied to expansions to existing customers. And so really good balance between kind of net new ACV coming from new logos as well as existing customers.
spk05: Awesome. That's really helpful, Collin. Maybe just a quick follow up if I could. You know, international still represents a pretty nice area for, you know, potential expansion when taking sort of a longer term view. Just curious, you know, if you're looking at Western Europe or elsewhere, what are the key barriers to adoption in those other regions versus what you're seeing domestically, you know, if any? You know, is it just a matter of getting more reps on the ground over there? Just curious about the dynamics there.
spk01: So the use cases are remarkably similar to what we have here in the U.S. and in North America. So in Western Europe, the customers are still focused on safety, efficiency, and sustainability. There are some region-specific features, some language changes that we have to make. There's some different regulatory compliance domains for our workflows. But I would say 80%, 85% of the product is very similar. And now we're beginning that invest of getting more quota-carrying capacity on the ground. and also increasing our base of reference customers so i think with time you'll see us grow into that tam but we're we're kind of taking it slow and we're also focusing on our efficiency as we grow great thank you both for the color our next question comes from derek wood at cowan followed up by matt swanson at rbc great thanks guys and congrats on a solid quarter um it does feel like the the broader supply chain conditions have eased a bit sounds like you guys
spk07: are seeing that with your operations as well. Just curious, as companies don't have to deal with the supply chain disruptions seen over the last couple of years, and maybe as they're kind of recouping some better cash flow and market visibility, how is that impacting kind of customer conversations and, and willingness to do more digital transformation kind of initiatives?
spk01: So the customer view on this is supply chain has been an area of focus, mainly because they're trying to get better visibility. But in terms of the value that our platform offers, a lot of it is tied to labor. So if you think about these industries, whether it's construction or oil and gas or field services, they're people intensive as much as they are asset intensive. And what we're able to do is help them go find 10, 15% operating efficiencies out in the field. We're able to help them save money on fuel, which is when they're operating those assets. And then also around things like carbon reporting. So those are all unrelated to supply chain constraints. So I would say there's multiple sources of value on our platform while getting people Better asset utilization has been one of the many pillars or prongs in terms of the Samsara platform. It's not the only one. So we still have a very broad-based appeal, and we're able to drive very fast time to ROI, as we talked about earlier, across more than just visibility and supply chain.
spk07: Great. And, Dom, maybe one for you. I mean, really great to see that the net revenue retention rate on 100K customers is stable over 125%. I mean, anything, how do you feel about the durability of this number? Anything to be aware of, of tougher comps or, you know, given the macro, do you feel that this is a pretty good sustainable level from here going forward?
spk03: We do. Yeah, we feel confident in being over 115 for core customers and 125 plus for our large customers. And again, we're just seeing a really good balance of net USV coming from new logos, but also more than half of it, again, in Q3 coming from our existing customers. And we're seeing a lot of the large customers continue to come back. And once they've realized ROI on one use case or one product, continue to add more products and use cases and find additional ways to save money. And so more and more of our business is coming from 100K plus customers. 47% of our overall ARR is driven from that customer cohort now. And you can see how that's increased over the last couple of years.
spk07: Great. Well done. Thanks.
spk04: Our last question today comes from Matt Swanson at RBC.
spk06: Yeah, thanks guys. This is obviously Matt Swanson on from Matt Hedberg. I was just wondering if you could kind of net net the macro impact for us. You know, we've talked a lot about ROI and the prepared remarks. Obviously, the results were showing a lot of durability. But I mean, would you describe parts of this macro as a tailwind, I guess? And then how are you thinking about the macro in that Q4 guidance, but also in that early color for 2024?
spk03: I would just say, again, we're really pleased with the results for Q3 and the momentum in the business right now. The customer demand has remained strong. Again, our pipeline, our conversion and win rates have been really strong. And so We're very pleased with the results and obviously we reflected that in Q4 as we raised our guidance for that quarter and for full year. We do recognize that there's a lot of macro uncertainty and so we want to make sure that we are given a little bit of color in the next year based on how we're thinking about things as well as going through some different scenario analysis and And we feel good with where the kind of consensus FY24 revenue growth rates are right now in the high 20s percent. We feel good about that based on what we're seeing right now.
spk01: And if I can just add one or two things. While we are seeing customers very much focused on cost reductions and efficiency, In the world of operations, these are evergreen problems. They're always trying to find ways to be safer, reduce their costs of insurance. They're trying to find ways to be more efficient, whether that's in terms of how they serve their customers or how much they spend on fuel. And then same thing around sustainability. So while there is a lot that's front of mind because of the current macro with our customers, I've just been spending a lot of time out in the field, spend time with these customers. They're saying these are fundamental challenges and operations, and that's why they're digitizing. They're trying to move from pen and paper to a more modern platform. to get better visibility into these kinds of problems.
spk06: That's super helpful. And then it was great to see the success that you had up market for both 100K customers as well as the growing percentage of ARR. Is there any difference, I guess, on kind of the other side of the market in terms of macro impact or anything else for those smaller deal sizes you call out?
spk03: No, I think, again, the same problems that the large customers are grappling with, same with kind of our mid-market customers as well. They're looking for ways to reduce costs, lower fuel costs or insurance premiums or reduce accidents, increasingly meet their sustainability goals. I'd point you to just the overall ARR mix coming from 100k plus customers continues to move up, but it's moving up kind of like a percentage point every quarter. which means that the customers paying below $100K are also growing really, really quickly and driving a lot of our overall growth. We're just seeing a little bit more growth from the large customer segment.
spk06: All right. Appreciate the color. Congrats on the quarter.
spk04: Thank you. This concludes the question and answer portion. Thank you all for attending our Q3 fiscal year 2023 earnings call. If you have any follow-up questions, you can email us at ir.samsara.com. Thanks again. Bye, everyone.
