### Key quotes

> “We had a strong start to the year, delivering results ahead of our guidance. Total revenue in the quarter was $883 million with non-GAAP operating income of $395 million.” — Peter Gassner

> “Falcon specifically is at the agent layer and that's agentic labor. So fully replacing parts -- jobs that people used to do.”

> “We're trying to simplify and standardize and integrate the tech of the development area of life sciences. That's not anything that anybody asked us for, right? That's the vision that we have, and that's not anything that anybody has tried”

> “I think overall, what we see in the macro is an environment that is unchanged from when we gave guidance a few months ago.” — Brian Van Wagener

> “Definitely all accretive because this is not a market we address today. We don't play in that market today. This is not type of labor or work that we supply. So it's definitely going to be accretive.” — Peter Gassner
