Professional services revenue remained relatively stable, totaling $32.1 million compared to $32.1 million in the prior year.

Strategically, Appian has focused on expanding its customer base and enhancing its platform capabilities. The company operates in 16 countries and reported that 36.2% of its revenue came from international customers in the first quarter of 2025, slightly down from 37.2% in the previous year. Appian continues to invest in its Customer Success organization and strategic partnerships with firms like Accenture and Deloitte to drive adoption of its platform. The company aims to reduce its reliance on professional services revenue, which accounted for 19.3% of total revenue in Q1 2025, down from 21.5% in Q1 2024.

Looking ahead, Appian anticipates continued growth in subscription revenue as it expands its market presence and enhances its product offerings. The company is committed to investing in its platform and sales capabilities to support long-term growth. Appian's management expressed confidence in its ability to meet financial covenants under its existing credit agreement, which provides for a $200 million term loan and a $100 million revolving credit facility. The company expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments will be sufficient to support its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.
