• \1 While specific daily stock prices are not available, SaaS companies continue to face pressure on growth rates, with median ARR growth declining to 26% in 2025, down from higher rates in previous years. Valuation multiples are adjusting accordingly as growth slows[1].
• \1 Funding rounds are trending towards larger sizes but with more scrutiny on unit economics, as CAC ratios have increased by 14% in 2024, indicating higher customer acquisition costs[1].
• \1 Median ARR growth rate is 26%, with the top quartile slowing from 60% in 2023 to 50% in 2024, reflecting a maturing market and more challenging expansion[1].

• \1 Usage-based pricing is gaining traction but per-seat pricing remains dominant. Expansion ARR now represents 40% of total new ARR overall, and over 50% in companies with ARR above $50M, indicating a shift towards upselling and usage-based expansion[1].
• \1 New CAC ratio increased by 14% in 2024, while blended CAC ratio decreased by 10% due to a higher mix of expansion ARR versus new ARR. VC-backed companies spend 47% of revenue on sales and marketing, compared to 33% for PE-backed firms[1].
• \1 Net Revenue Retention is at 101%, showing slight net expansion but highlighting challenges in retaining and expanding customers. Annual churn rates remain a critical focus but exact average churn percentages are not specified in the latest data[1][5].

• \1 No new company-specific announcements or metrics were reported today.
• \1 No new unicorn valuations or milestones were announced on August 12, 2025.
• \1 ARR per full-time employee (FTE) continues to climb, reaching $200,000 per FTE in companies with $50M-$100M ARR, indicating improving operational efficiency[1]. Additionally, R&D spend is higher in private SaaS companies (34% of revenue) compared to public ones (23%), reflecting ongoing investment in product innovation[1].

These metrics suggest SaaS professionals should focus on optimizing customer acquisition costs, expanding usage-based pricing models, and improving operational efficiency to sustain growth in a maturing market environment.
