Freshworks Q3 2026: $1B ARR milestone crossed, 30% free cash flow margin, EX ARR growing 22% as platform consolidation displaces legacy incumbents

Freshworks crossed $1 billion in annual recurring revenue in October 2026, underpinned by EX ARR growth of 22% constant currency to $588 million and a non-GAAP operating margin of 30% — 9 points above the prior year. The upmarket shift is structural: customers above $100,000 ARR grew 26%, represent 41% of total ARR, and carry EX NDR above 109%; ARPA for new EX customers rose 35% year-over-year. Two tuck-in acquisitions (Torii and Robusta) in October extend the ITOM/ITAM platform, while full-year 2026 revenue guidance was raised to $965-966 million with adjusted free cash flow guided above $265 million.
