CrowdStrike Holdings has delivered a strong set of financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2025, underlining significant progress on both the revenue and technological fronts. The company reported an impressive addition of $224 million in net new annual recurring revenue (ARR), bringing its total ARR to $4.24 billion and setting a clear trajectory toward its ambitious $10 billion ARR target. CEO George Kurtz emphasized that the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence by businesses across sectors has reinforced the need for an AI-native cybersecurity platform, a vision clearly reflected in the performance of their Next-Gen SIEM, Cloud Security, and Identity Protection offerings that collectively now exceed $1.3 billion in ARR. This financial milestone is further enhanced by strong customer retention at 97% and significant deal value from initiatives like Falcon Flex, positioning the Falcon platform as the central pillar in customers’ security operations both today and in the future.
The detailed financial highlights illustrate a robust quarter with subscription revenue increasing by 27% to $1.01 billion and overall revenue rising by 25% compared to the previous fiscal period, even as the GAAP figures showed a net loss. Non-GAAP performance, however, was notably strong, with net income per share reaching $1.03 for the quarter and $3.93 for the full year, reflecting the company’s effective cost management and operational efficiency. Chief Financial Officer Burt Podbere noted that these results surpassed all guided metrics and highlighted the company’s accelerating module adoption and expansive growth opportunities. This strong financial performance is complemented by substantial cash flow improvements, with net cash from operations and free cash flow maintaining healthy levels, and a solid liquidity position with $4.32 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of January 31, 2025. The company’s continued investment in breakthrough innovations, such as the Charlotte AI Detection Triage and the launch of CrowdStrike Insider Risk Services, along with strategic partnerships with major cloud providers and industry recognitions, solidifies its position as a pioneering force in integrating AI into cybersecurity, ensuring a resilient and dynamic approach to countering evolving threats.
