This expansion aligns with Salesforce’s long-term strategy to capture a larger share of the global CRM market.
In terms of profitability, Salesforce achieved a GAAP operating margin of 5%, an improvement from the previous year.

Looking ahead, Salesforce has provided an optimistic outlook for the upcoming fiscal year.
