Revenue increased 11% in constant currency, adjusted earnings by 18%.
I think a lot of that earnings growth because they're buying back a ton of shares.
I'd be curious to know how earnings were growing actually without share buybacks, but operating margins were flat.
ARR increased by 12.5% and RPOs by 13%.
