“We delivered solid first-quarter results, outperforming the high end of our guidance for both revenue and profitability, and we continued to see strong adoption of our GenAI offerings. However, we had a slower start to the year with the volume of customer commitments impacted by segmentation changes that we made at the beginning of the year, which are taking longer than expected to settle. We have been taking steps to address this, but it will impact our revenue this year,” said Ash Kulkarni, CEO of Elastic.

Outlook: Elastic expects total revenue to be between $353 million and $355 million in the second quarter, versus the $360.87 million estimate.

ESTC Price Action: According to Benzinga Pro, Elastic shares are down 23.49% after-hours at $79.30 at the time of publication Thursday.
