Non-GAAP net income reached $237.4 million, reflecting strong operational performance amid strategic acquisitions and product innovations.

The company highlighted a 21% year-over-year revenue increase to $1.17 billion, driven by 20% growth in subscription revenue. Cash flow metrics showed resilience, with $333 million in operating cash flow and $284 million in free cash flow.

These developments underscore its dominance in cybersecurity consolidation and AI-driven threat detection.

Operational momentum was further reinforced by the launch of CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, designed to protect human and AI agents across hybrid environments. New integrations with NVIDIA’s LLM microservices and AWS security workflows expanded its enterprise offerings. Management emphasized confidence in continued ARR acceleration for the remainder of fiscal 2026, supported by a 21% non-GAAP tax rate adjustment under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
