Q & A Highlights
Q: Why did Procore decide to reorganize its go-to-market strategy now, and what is the expected timeline for this transition?
A: Craig Courtemanche, Founder, CEO, President, and Chairman of the Board: The decision to reorganize was driven by the need to mature our operating model to support our next phase of growth. With the current macroeconomic environment, we felt it was the right time to accelerate this transition. We expect the changes to start showing benefits as the macro environment improves.

A: Howard Fu: We wound down our materials financing business last year but continue to explore different options to address the working capital problem in the industry.
Q: What signs of stability are you seeing in customer renewals?
A: Howard Fu: We are seeing stability in our churn performance, similar to Q1. However, we are facing challenges in customer expansion, which has impacted our retention metrics.
Q: How do you plan to leverage the Procore Construction Network in the future?
A: Craig Courtemanche: The network helps drive engagement and adoption of our platform. The more entities engaged, the more opportunities we have to provide valuable services, driving further adoption and growth.
Q: How will the new GM model impact Procore's customer relationships?
A: Craig Courtemanche: The GM model will allow us to be more customer-centric and responsive to local market needs. This will help us build stronger, more strategic relationships with our customers.
Q: What are the expected timelines for the go-to-market changes to take full effect?
