C3 AI Q1 FY2027 Earnings: Revenue Falls as Free Cash Flow Turns Positive

C3 AI’s (NYSE: AI) fiscal Q1 2027 revenue fell about 25% year over year to $52.4 million, while GAAP diluted loss per share narrowed to $0.60 from $0.86. Free cash flow turned positive at $2.1 million and non-GAAP operating loss improved to $36.2 million, but GAAP gross margin declined to 32% from 38%. Bookings rose 73% sequentially, while second-quarter guidance of $51 million to $55 million points to revenue remaining near the first-quarter level. The key question is whether improved bookings and lower expenses can restore growth without renewed cash burn.
