SailPoint, Inc. delivered an impressive fiscal second quarter, underscoring the strength of enterprise identity security as a central pillar in today’s AI-driven cybersecurity landscape. The company reported total ARR of $982 million, up 28% year-over-year, with SaaS ARR growing an even more robust 37%. Revenue rose 33% to $264 million, driven by 36% growth in subscription revenue, while adjusted operating income more than doubled to $54 million, representing a healthy 20% margin compared to just 11% in the same period last year. GAAP losses also narrowed materially, signaling improving operating leverage.
CEO Mark McClain emphasized that identity security is now “center stage” in enterprise security strategies as companies rush to secure both human and machine identities in the AI era. This momentum allowed SailPoint to raise its full-year guidance across all major metrics. For fiscal 2026, management now expects ARR of $1.105–$1.115 billion (up from $1.095–$1.105 billion prior), revenue of $1.052–$1.058 billion (up from $1.034–$1.044 billion), and adjusted operating income of $177–$181 million, with margins expanding to as high as 17.2%. EPS guidance was also raised to $0.20–$0.22, compared with the prior range of $0.16–$0.20.
The acceleration in SaaS ARR and significant improvement in profitability highlight SailPoint’s ability to scale efficiently while capturing demand in a fast-growing segment of cybersecurity. The company’s positioning as a vendor-agnostic, AI-native identity security platform aligns closely with enterprise priorities, particularly as organizations face complex challenges around securing autonomous agents, non-deterministic workflows, and hybrid cloud environments. With the stronger-than-expected Q2 performance and raised outlook, SailPoint is reinforcing its status as one of the core beneficiaries of the structural shift toward identity-first security.
