CrowdStrike reported strong quarterly results with revenue hitting $1.1 billion, a 20% increase from last year. Adjusted EPS was 73 cents, beating estimates, and ARR grew by 22% to $4.44 billion.

CEO George Kurtz highlighted the success of CrowdStrike’s Falcon Flex subscription model, driving platform adoption at an accelerated pace. The company’s net new ARR of $193.8 million exceeded expectations, and subscription gross margin was strong at 80%. Operating cash flow reached a new record, leading to a 25% free cash flow margin.
For fiscal year 2026, CrowdStrike expects revenue of $4.74 billion to $4.81 billion and raised its adjusted EPS outlook. The company anticipates continued growth in net new ARR, with guidance reflecting double-digit sequential growth. Despite a post-earnings decline, the future looks promising for CrowdStrike as demand for cybersecurity solutions continues to rise.
