"Industry leading growth in subscription revenue, remaining performance obligations, and billings were driven by strong execution and the continued secular tailwinds of increasing adoption of cloud applications, digital transformation as companies improve how they connect with their employees and customers, and deployment of zero trust security environments," CEO Todd McKinnon said in a statement. 

Subscription revenue for the quarter came to $144.5 million, an increase of 48% year-over-year. Total calculated billings were $175.6 million, a 42% increase.
