"We had a solid start to fiscal 2024 with the strongest Q1 results in our history on both revenue and profitability," said Chuck Robbins, chair and CEO of Cisco. "We are confident in the foundational strength of our business and future growth opportunities fueled by AI, Security, Cloud, and Observability."
"In Q1, we delivered revenue and EPS at the high end or above our guidance range, generating strong operating leverage," said Scott Herren, CFO of Cisco. "We also saw double-digit year-over-year growth in software revenue, product ARR and total RPO. After customers implement large amounts of recently shipped product, we expect to see product order growth rates accelerate in the second half of the year. We are committed to delivering operating leverage and increasing capital returns to our shareholders."
