Nutanix delivered a solid QQ3 2025 performance with strong gross margins and meaningful profitability, underpinned by robust free cash flow generation. Revenue rose 21.8% year over year to $638.98 million, while quarterly sequential growth moderated with a 2.4% QoQ decline. The company reported an operating income of $48.65 million and net income of $63.36 million, translating to an implied net margin near 9.9% and an EPS of $0.24 (non-diluted) / $0.22 (diluted). Free cash flow for the quarter stood at $203.41 million, and net cash provided by operating activities was $218.51 million, highlighting healthy cash-generation capability despite a sizable investment program. At quarter-end, Nutanix held $872.63 million in cash and equivalents, with total debt of $1.50 billion and net debt of approximately $623 million, reflecting a conservative liquidity stance alongside an elevated leverage profile. Deferred revenue remains substantial at roughly $2.03 billion (current + non-current), signaling durable subscription and multi-year ARR in place as the company advances its hybrid cloud governance and automation platform. However, the balance sheet shows negative stockholders’ equity (-$711.4 million) driven by large goodwill/intangible assets, implying the potential for impairment risk and ongoing sensitivity to amortization and impairment charges. The QQ3 results underscore Nutanix’s continued progress on its transition to a software-plus-services model, with a focus on expanding multi-cloud capabilities and automation across Prism Pro, Karbon, Frame, and related offerings. Investors should monitor the cadence of ARR growth, the sustainability of high gross margins, balance sheet optimization, and competitive dynamics in the enterprise cloud space.
