Key points for investors:
- Q3 performance: BILL reported solid Q3 fiscal 2025 results with core revenue up 14% YoY, total revenue $358M (+11% YoY), non-GAAP operating margin 15%, and free cash flow of $91M (25% margin). Total payment volume (TPV) grew 10% YoY. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.50, above guidance. The company ended the quarter with $2.2B in cash and short-term investments.
- Product & go-to-market progress: BILL expanded product capabilities for larger customers (multi-entity management, procurement, mass payments), launched procurement and enhanced multi-entity features, and rolled out supplier-facing tools (beta advanced ACH, invoice financing, instant transfer). Spend & expense (Divvy) revenue grew 21% YoY; AP/AR revenue +10% YoY. Accounting channel momentum: >9,000 accounting firms using the platform and accounting-driven net adds accelerating.
- Ecosystem & distribution: Xero is now GA on BILL's Embed platform; six banks are using ad valorem bank-branded offerings. API adoption (spend & expense) is linked to higher TPV per customer.
- AI strategy: BILL is accelerating investments in AI to build "AI-powered finance agents" aimed at automating payables, receivables, procurement, and cash management leveraging proprietary transaction and document data (platform processes ~$79B TPV and >1% of U.S. GDP).
- Monetization & payments: Take-rate expansion in Q3 was driven by growth in ad valorem products (instant transfer, pay by card, invoice financing), reduced FX losses due to hedging improvements, and seasonal TPV mix. The company implemented pricing increases on checks and ACH (new customers in March; existing customers effective May) and expects further pricing/packaging actions over time.
- Near-term headwinds & outlook: Management observed SMBs moderating transactions and spend in some sectors amid macro and trade-policy uncertainty. As a result, Q4 core revenue guidance was lowered to $335M–$345M (11%–15% YoY) and non-GAAP operating income is guided to $43M–$48M. Full-year fiscal 2025 core revenue guidance is $1.290B–$1.300B (15%–16% YoY) with non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $2.06–$2.09. Management expects to balance growth and profitability and will provide FY2026 detail in August.
- Capital allocation & efficiency: Company emphasized disciplined investment, reductions in stock-based compensation as a percent of revenue (target ~17% of revenue for FY25), and operational efficiency including AI adoption internally.
- Key risks: Near-term TPM/TPV pressure from SMB cautiousness, cross-border/FX uncertainties, and adoption timelines for new supplier and AI-driven offerings.
Overall takeaway: BILL delivered profitable growth and healthy cash generation while investing in product expansion (procurement, supplier solutions), distribution (accountants, Embed partners) and AI. Management is cautious near-term given macro uncertainty, but believes its platform scale, ecosystem and new monetization levers position it for meaningful long-term growth and take-rate expansion.
