Analysis

Full fiscal year 2025 revenue: subscription services $7,722M + professional services $725M = $8,447M (from 10-K). The 10-K repositions Workday as 'the AI platform that helps organizations manage their most important assets.' Announced Workday Illuminate, AI agents for recruiting, talent mobility, succession, optimization, contracts, payroll, financial auditing, and policy. Also announced Workday Agent System of Record. The 10-K states new AI agent capabilities 'are currently in development and are expected to become available later in fiscal 2026.' AI is now central to Workday's identity and marketing, but revenue remains reported as undifferentiated subscription + professional services. Workday Illuminate powers are beginning to be deployed to customers. Uptick to 4.5% reflects AI becoming a more significant value driver for subscriptions, even though still bundled.
