1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), headquartered in Santa Clara, California, was incorporated in March 2005 under the laws of the State of Delaware and commenced operations in April 2005. Our cybersecurity platforms and services help enterprises, organizations, service providers, and government entities to secure their users, networks, clouds, and endpoints by delivering comprehensive cybersecurity backed by artificial intelligence and automation.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 29, 2025. The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of our quarterly results. Our condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Management estimates include, but are not limited to, the standalone selling price for our products and services, share-based compensation, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, fair value of contingent consideration liability, the assessment of recoverability of our intangibles and goodwill, valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, valuation of inventory and manufacturing partner and supplier liabilities, deferred contract cost benefit period, and loss contingencies. We base our estimates on assumptions, both historical and forward looking, that we believe are reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as of and for the six months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that requires consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The standard is effective for our annual periods beginning in fiscal 2026 and could be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Expense Disaggregation Disclosures

In November 2024, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that expands annual and interim disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. The standard is effective for our annual periods beginning in fiscal 2028 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2029, and could be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets

In July 2025, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets. The standard is effective for our annual and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and will be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Accounting for Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by eliminating project stage-based capitalization and clarifying the requirements, including probable-to-complete threshold, to commence the capitalization of software development costs. The standard is effective for our annual and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2029 and could be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Hedge Accounting Improvements

In November 2025, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that clarifies and improves the existing hedge accounting guidance to better reflect the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. The standard is effective for our annual and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2028 and will be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

As part of our acquisition of certain QRadar assets from International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) on August 31, 2024, we agreed to make post-closing payments to IBM contingent upon customers entering into qualified new transactions through June 30, 2028. Payments related to the contingent consideration liability commenced in the fiscal quarter ended October 2025 and are expected to continue through the fiscal quarter ending October 2028. The estimated range of undiscounted contingent consideration is between $0.4 billion and $0.6 billion.

The fair value of our contingent consideration liability is estimated using a discounted cash flow valuation technique. We consider the fair value of our contingent consideration liability to be a Level 3 measurement as we use unobservable inputs in determining discounted cash flows to estimate the fair value. The significant unobservable inputs include an estimate of future cash payments related to customers entering into qualified new transactions as well as a risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the expected cash flows. A significant change in any of these assumptions could have a material impact to the fair value of our contingent consideration liability.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our contingent consideration liability (in millions):

Unrealized losses related to our available-for-sale debt securities are primarily due to interest rate fluctuations as opposed to credit quality. We do not intend to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not likely that we would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We did not recognize any credit losses related to our available-for-sale debt securities during the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025.

6. Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. Our sales contracts are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. A portion of our operating expenditures are denominated in foreign currencies, making them subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into foreign currency derivative contracts with maturities of 24 months or less, which we designate as cash flow hedges, to manage the foreign currency exchange risk associated with our revenue and operating expenditures.

As of January 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025, the total notional amount of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges was $523 million and $964 million, respectively. Refer to Note 3. Fair Value Measurements for the fair value of our derivative instruments as reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025.

As of January 31, 2026, unrealized gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) related to our cash flow hedges were a $39 million net gain, of which $40 million in gains are expected to be recognized into earnings within the next 12 months. As of July 31, 2025, unrealized gains and losses in AOCI related to our cash flow hedges were a $40 million net gain.

As of January 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025, the notional amount of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments was $557 million and $504 million, respectively.

7. Acquisitions

Chronosphere, Inc.

On January 29, 2026, we completed our acquisition of Chronosphere, Inc. (“Chronosphere”), a privately-held observability technology company. The acquisition resulted in forming our observability platform. The total purchase consideration for the acquisition of Chronosphere was $3.0 billion, which consisted of the following (in millions):


	Amount
Cash	$	2,842
Fair value of replacement awards	109
Total	$	2,951

As part of the acquisition, we issued $525 million of replacement equity awards, of which the portion attributable to services performed prior to the acquisition date was allocated to purchase consideration. The remaining fair value was allocated to future services and will be expensed over the remaining service periods as share-based compensation. The replacement equity awards included 2 million shares of our restricted common stock. These restricted common stock vest over a period of two to three years from the date of issuance.

We have accounted for this transaction as a business combination and allocated the purchase consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimated fair values, as presented in the following table (in millions):


	Amount
Goodwill	$	2,364
Identified intangible assets	565
Cash	57
Net liabilities assumed	(35)
Total	$	2,951

Goodwill generated from this business combination is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expected post-acquisition synergies from integrating Chronosphere technology into our platforms. The goodwill is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

The following table presents details of the identified intangible asset acquired (in millions, except years):


	Fair Value		Estimated Useful Life
Developed technology	$	300	5 years
Customer relationships	255		6 years - 10 years

Post-acquisition revenue and earnings of Chronosphere were not material to our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026.

CyberArk Software Ltd.

On July 30, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire CyberArk Software Ltd., an identity security company (“CyberArk”). Under the terms of the agreement, CyberArk shareholders were entitled to receive $45.00 in cash and 2.2005 shares of our common stock for each CyberArk share.

On February 11, 2026, we completed the acquisition of CyberArk. Refer to 16. Subsequent Events for additional information. This acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination in the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

During the six months ended January 31, 2026, we purchased 14.5 acres of land adjacent to our headquarters in Santa Clara, California, for $91 million to accommodate future expansion of our headquarters. This amount was recorded in property and equipment, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2026.

9. Debt

Convertible Senior Notes, Note Hedges, and Warrants

In June 2020, we issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 0.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). The 2025 Notes were converted prior to or settled on the maturity date of June 1, 2025 in accordance with their terms.

Concurrent with the issuance of the 2025 Notes, we entered into separate convertible note hedge transactions (the “2025 Note Hedges”) with respect to our common stock for an aggregate payment of $371 million. The 2025 Note Hedges expired upon maturity of the 2025 Notes. Any shares of our common stock receivable by us under the 2025 Note Hedges are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they are antidilutive.

Separately, but concurrently with the issuance of our 2025 Notes, we entered into transactions whereby we sold warrants (the “2025 Warrants”) to acquire 40 million shares of our common stock with a strike price of $68.08 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, for aggregate proceeds of $203 million. The 2025 Warrants are exercisable over 60 scheduled trading days beginning September 2025. The shares issuable under the 2025 Warrants are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when the average market value per share of our common stock for the reporting period exceeds the strike price of the 2025 Warrants.

During the six months ended January 31, 2026, we net settled all of the 2025 Warrants with the issuance of 27 million shares of our common stock with a fair value of $5.6 billion, of which 7 million shares of our common stock with a fair value of $1.5 billion were issued during the three months ended January 31, 2026. The number of net shares issued was determined based on the number of 2025 Warrants exercised multiplied by the difference between the strike price of the 2025 Warrants and their daily volume-weighted-average stock price.

Revolving Credit Facility

On April 13, 2023, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain institutional lenders that provides for a $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), with an option to increase the amount of the Credit Facility by up to an additional $350 million, subject to certain conditions. The Credit Facility matures on April 13, 2028.

The borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at a base rate plus a spread of 0.000% to 0.375%, or an adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a spread of 1.000% to 1.375%, in each case with such spread being determined based on our leverage ratio. We are obligated to pay an ongoing commitment fee on undrawn amounts at a rate of 0.090% to 0.150%, depending on our leverage ratio. The interest rates and commitment fees are also subject to upward and downward adjustments based on our progress towards the achievement of certain sustainability goals.

As of January 31, 2026, there were no amounts outstanding and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

We have entered into various non-cancelable agreements with cloud hosting service providers, under which we are committed to minimum or fixed purchases of certain cloud hosting services. In addition, in order to reduce manufacturing lead times and plan for adequate supply, we have entered into agreements with manufacturing partners and component suppliers to procure inventory based on our demand forecasts. Other purchase obligations include non-cancellable subscription agreements and other commitments in the normal course of business. The following table presents details of the aggregate future non-cancelable purchase commitments under these agreements as of January 31, 2026 (in millions):


			Fiscal years ending July 31,
	Total		Remaining 2026		2027		2028		2029		2030		2031 and Thereafter

Additionally, we have a $104 million minimum purchase commitment with a cloud hosting service provider through September 2027 with no specified annual commitments.

Litigation

We are subject to legal proceedings, claims, tax matters, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including, for instance, intellectual property and patent litigation. We accrue for contingencies when we believe that a loss is probable and that we can reasonably estimate the amount of any such loss.

Legal matters could include speculative, substantial, or indeterminate monetary amounts. Significant judgment is required to determine both the likelihood of there being a loss and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters, and we may be unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss. The outcomes of outstanding legal matters are inherently unpredictable, and could, either individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on us and our results of operations. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding any amounts already recognized may be incurred, we will either disclose the estimated additional loss or state that such an estimate cannot be made.

The following matters arose in the ordinary course of business.

Centripetal Networks, Inc. v. Palo Alto Networks

On March 12, 2021, Centripetal Networks, Inc., filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The lawsuit alleges that our products infringe multiple Centripetal patents. We successfully challenged certain of these patents, which were found unpatentable by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”). The case went to jury trial on January 22, 2024, on four patents. On January 31, 2024, the jury returned a verdict of non-willful infringement with a lump sum amount of $152 million, plus statutory interest. After post-trial motions, a judgment was issued on October 3, 2024 affirming infringement on three patents, reversing infringement on the fourth patent, and subsequently, reducing the damages amount to $114 million. We posted a surety bond that was agreed upon by the parties and approved by the court. This bond prevents execution of the judgment while appeals are pending. In addition, Centripetal filed infringement contentions on certain of their patents in the European Patent Office and Unified Patent Court in Germany, to which we filed appropriate legal challenges. Those matters are still pending.

As of January 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025, we accrued $149 million and $146 million based on the judgment and estimated interest, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The corresponding interest charge was $2 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026, respectively. We recorded a charge of $1 million and a release of $42 million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2025, respectively. These amounts are included in general and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Finjan, Inc. v. Palo Alto Networks

On November 4, 2014, Finjan, Inc., filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit alleges that our products infringe multiple Finjan patents. The complaint requests injunctive relief, monetary damages, and attorneys’ fees. On March 21, 2025, the judge issued an order granting summary judgment of non-infringement on all remaining patents at issue. Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal on April 21, 2025. We are unable, at this time, to reasonably estimate a possible loss or potential range of loss, if any.

Eire OG Innovations. v. Palo Alto Networks

On April 3, 2024, Eire OG Innovations filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas asserting infringement of multiple patents, certain of which were subsequently dismissed. The parties have resolved all pending matters between them as of December 2025. The amount paid by us to resolve these matters was not material.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program

In February 2019, our board of directors authorized a $1.0 billion share repurchase program, which is funded from available working capital. Our board of directors subsequently authorized additional increases to this share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization under this share repurchase program to $4.1 billion (our “current authorization”). The expiration date of our current authorization was extended to December 31, 2026, and our repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases may be made at management’s discretion from time to time on the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, block purchase techniques, 10b5-1 trading plans, or a combination of the foregoing.

We did not repurchase shares of our common stock during the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025.

As of January 31, 2026, $1.0 billion remained available for future share repurchases under our current repurchase authorization.

12. Equity Award Plans

Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) and Performance-Based Stock Unit (“PSU”) Activities

The following table summarizes the RSU and PSU activity under our stock plans during the six months ended January 31, 2026 (in millions, except per share amounts):


	Unvested RSUs			Unvested PSUs
	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share		Aggregate Intrinsic Value		Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Balance—July 31, 2025	13	$	143.33	$	2,285	9	$	140.92	$	1,635

Balance—January 31, 2026	14	$	168.38	$	2,533	8	$	155.96	$	1,464

(1)For PSUs, shares granted represent the aggregate maximum number of shares that may be earned and issued with respect to these awards over their full terms.

(2)Includes 1 million RSUs assumed in connection with the acquisition of Chronosphere, with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $176.20 per share for the six months ended January 31, 2026.

(3)Includes time-based vesting for PSUs.

Our RSUs generally vest over a period of four years from the date of grant. Until vested, RSUs do not have the voting and dividend participation rights of common stock and the shares underlying the awards are not considered issued and outstanding.

Our PSUs generally vest over a period of one to four years from the date of grant. The number of PSUs eligible to vest is determined based on the level of achievement against certain performance conditions, market conditions, and a combination thereof.

During the six months ended January 31, 2026, we granted 3 million shares of PSUs that contain service, performance, and market conditions. The service conditions are satisfied after a period of one to three years. The performance conditions are based on an average of next-generation security annualized recurring revenue and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. The market condition is measured based on our total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of the companies listed in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index. As of January 31, 2026, we have approved 3 million shares of PSUs, which will be granted upon the performance condition being established during the next two fiscal years.

Grant-date fair value per share	$287.98 - $291.91		$226.06 - $261.62		$264.51 - $305.83

Performance Stock Option (“PSO”) Activities

We have granted PSOs with both service and market conditions. The market conditions were achieved when certain stock price targets were met. As of January 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025, all of our outstanding PSOs have been fully vested. The maximum contractual term of our outstanding PSOs is seven and a half years from the date of grant in fiscal year 2018 and 2019.

The following table summarizes the PSO activity under our stock plans during the six months ended January 31, 2026 (in millions, except per share amounts):



	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value

As of January 31, 2026, total compensation cost related to unvested share-based awards not yet recognized was $2.9 billion. This cost is expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.6 years.

13. Income Taxes

Our income taxes primarily consist of U.S. and foreign income taxes and our effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the excess tax benefits from share-based compensation.

For the three and six months ended January 31, 2026, our provision for income taxes reflected effective tax rates of 21.3% and 20.3%, respectively. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2025, our provision for income taxes reflected effective tax rates of 17.7% and 10.9%, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 increased as compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to decreased excess tax benefits from share-based compensation relative to our increased business profits.

14. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by basic weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding during the period giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities to the extent they are dilutive. We compute the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon conversion of our convertible senior notes using the if-converted method, and the dilutive effect of warrants related to the issuance of convertible senior notes and equity awards under our employee equity incentive plans using the treasury stock method.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income per share of common stock (in millions, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended January 31,				Six Months Ended January 31,

For the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, total revenue was $2.6 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 15%. Our growth reflects the increased adoption of our portfolio, which consists of product, subscriptions, and support. We believe our portfolio will enable us to benefit from recurring revenues and new revenues as we continue to grow our end-customer base. As of January 31, 2026, we had end-customers in over 180 countries. Our end-customers represent a broad range of industries, including education, energy, financial services, government entities, healthcare, Internet and media, manufacturing, public sector, and telecommunications, and include almost all of the Fortune 100 companies and a majority of the Global 2000 companies. We maintain a field sales force that works closely with our channel partners in developing sales opportunities. We primarily use a two-tiered, indirect fulfillment model whereby we sell our products, subscriptions, and support to our distributors, which, in turn, sell to our resellers, which then sell to our end-customers.

Our product revenue grew to $514 million, or 19.8% of total revenue, for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, representing year-over-year growth of 22%. Product revenue is derived from sales of hardware products, primarily our ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall and software licenses, including SD-WAN, VM-Series, and Panorama®. Our ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall incorporates our PAN-OS operating system, which provides a consistent set of capabilities across our entire network security product line. Our hardware products and software licenses include a broad set of built-in networking and security features and functionalities. Our products are designed for different performance requirements throughout an organization, ranging from our PA-400, which is designed for small organizations and remote or branch offices, to our top-of-the-line PA-7500, which is designed for large-scale data centers and service provider use. The same firewall functionality that is delivered in our hardware products is also available in our VM-Series virtual firewalls, which secure virtualized and cloud-based computing environments, and in our CN-Series container firewalls, which secure container environments and traffic.

Our subscription and support revenue grew to $2.1 billion, or 80.2% of total revenue, for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, representing year-over-year growth of 13%. Our subscriptions provide our end-customers with near real-time access to the latest intrusion prevention, web security, modern malware prevention, data loss prevention, cloud security access broker and AI security capabilities across the network, endpoints, and the cloud. Our subscriptions also include security operations, which enable customers to leverage the AI-powered Cortex platform for advanced capabilities such as security information and event management, next-generation antivirus, endpoint detection and response, extended detection and response, identity threat detection and response, cloud detection and response, SOAR, ASM, and CNAPP for comprehensive cloud security. In connection with our acquisition of Chronosphere, Inc. (“Chronosphere”) in January 2026, our subscriptions also include a next-generation observability platform for cloud-native infrastructure and applications as well as telemetry pipeline management that is designed to handle vast cloud data volumes with cost-efficiency and reliability. Additionally, we offer MDR for Cortex subscriptions, powered by Unit 42’s elite expertise. When customers purchase our physical, virtual, or container firewalls, or certain cloud offerings, they typically purchase support in order to receive ongoing security updates, upgrades, bug fixes, and repairs. In addition to the subscriptions purchased with these firewalls, customers may also purchase other subscriptions on a per-user, per-endpoint, or capacity-based basis. We also offer professional services, including incident response, risk management, and digital forensic services.

We continue to invest in innovation as we evolve and further extend the capabilities of our portfolio, as we believe that innovation and timely development of and investment in new features and products are essential to meeting the needs of our end-customers and improving our competitive position. On February 11, 2026, we completed the acquisition of CyberArk Software Ltd. (“CyberArk”), forming our next-generation identity security platform. Additionally, on January 29, 2026, we completed the acquisition of Chronosphere, forming our next-generation observability platform.

We believe that the growth of our business and our short-term and long-term success are dependent upon many factors, including our ability to extend our technology leadership, grow our base of end-customers, expand deployment of our portfolio and support offerings within existing end-customers, focus on end-customer satisfaction, and address any product vulnerabilities. To manage any future growth effectively, we must continue to improve and expand our information technology and financial infrastructure, our operating and administrative systems and controls, and our ability to manage headcount, capital, and processes in an efficient manner. While these areas present significant opportunities for us, they also pose challenges and risks that we must successfully address in order to sustain the growth of our business and improve our operating results. For additional information regarding the challenges and risks we face, see the “Risk Factors” section in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

IMPACT OF MACROECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS AND OTHER FACTORS ON OUR BUSINESS

Our overall performance depends in part on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions and their impact on customer behavior. Changes in legislation or regulations and actions by regulators, including changes in enforcement and administration policies, may have an impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Significant changes in U.S. or global trade policy, including further expansion of U.S. export/imports controls and tariffs, as well as retaliatory actions by other countries, may materially and adversely affect our business. Further, economic conditions, including inflation, high interest rates, slow growth, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, supply chain disruptions, such as a memory or other component shortage, impacts of trade regulations or international trade disputes, and other conditions, may adversely affect our results of operations and financial performance.

The hostilities in Israel and the surrounding region have continued to result in economic and political uncertainty. While we have business operations in Israel, and intend to continue growing our presence in Israel, we currently do not expect significant business disruption. We are actively monitoring, evaluating, and responding to the situation.

We are also monitoring the impact of inflationary pressures and the tensions between China and Taiwan, and between the U.S. and China, which could have an adverse impact on our business or results of operations in future periods.

Key Financial Metrics

We monitor the key financial metrics set forth in the tables below to help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, and assess operational efficiencies. We discuss revenue, gross margin, and the components of operating income and margin below under “Results of Operations.”

•Next-Generation Security Annualized Recurring Revenue (“NGS ARR”). Our NGS ARR represents the annualized allocated revenue of all active contracts as of the final day of the reporting period related to all product, subscription and support offerings, excluding revenue from hardware products, and legacy attached subscriptions, support offerings and professional services. NGS ARR is an operating metric that we use to assess the strength and trajectory of our business. NGS ARR should be viewed independently of revenue, deferred revenue and remaining performance obligations and does not represent our revenue under U.S. GAAP on an annualized basis, as it is an operating metric that can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates. NGS ARR is not intended to be a replacement for forecasts of revenue. The scope of products, subscriptions, and support offerings that contribute to NGS ARR will generally increase over time as we introduce or acquire new next-generation products, subscriptions, and support offerings.

•Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities. We monitor cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of our overall business performance. Our cash flow provided by operating activities is driven in large part by sales of our products and from up-front payments for subscription and support offerings. Monitoring cash flow provided by operating activities enables us to analyze our financial performance without the non-cash effects of certain items such as share-based compensation costs, depreciation, and amortization, thereby allowing us to better understand and manage the cash needs of our business.

•Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP). We define free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, equipment, and other assets. We consider free cash flow to be an operating metric as well as a profitability and liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of our financial performance and liquidity is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for the period. In addition, it is important to note that other companies, including companies in our industry, may not use free cash flow, may calculate free cash flow in a different manner than we do, or may use other financial measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of free cash flow as a comparative measure. A reconciliation of free cash flow to cash flow provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is provided below:

REVENUE

Our revenue consists of product revenue and subscription and support revenue. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the corresponding promised products and subscriptions and support to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products and subscriptions and support. We expect our revenue to vary from quarter to quarter based on seasonal and cyclical factors.

PRODUCT REVENUE

Product revenue is derived from sales of hardware products, primarily our ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall, and software licenses, including SD-WAN, VM-Series, and Panorama. Our hardware products and software licenses include a broad set of built-in networking and security features and functionalities. We recognize product revenue at the time of hardware shipment or delivery of software license. As a percentage of product revenue, we expect our revenue from software licenses to vary from quarter to quarter and increase over the long term as we improve features and capabilities of our on-premise software, renew our software license contracts, and expand our installed end-customer base.

	(dollars in millions)
Product	$	514	$	421	$	93	22	%	$	948	$	775	$	173	22	%

Product revenue increased for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025, driven by increased revenue from software licenses and increased demand for our new generation of hardware products.

SUBSCRIPTION AND SUPPORT REVENUE

Subscription and support revenue is derived primarily from sales of our subscription and support offerings. Our subscription and support contracts are typically one to five years. We recognize revenue from subscriptions and support over time as the services are performed. As a percentage of total revenue, we expect our subscription and support revenue to vary from quarter to quarter and increase over the long term as we introduce new subscriptions, renew existing subscription and support contracts, and expand our installed end-customer base.

Subscription and support revenue increased for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 due to increased demand for our subscription and support offerings from our end-customers. The mix between subscription revenue and support revenue will fluctuate over time, depending on the introduction of new subscription offerings, renewals of support services, and our ability to increase sales to new and existing end-customers.

Revenue from the Americas, EMEA, and APAC increased for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 as we continued to increase investment in our global sales force in order to support our growth and innovation, with the Americas contributing the highest increase in revenue due to its larger scale.

COST OF REVENUE

Our cost of revenue consists of cost of product revenue and cost of subscription and support revenue.

COST OF PRODUCT REVENUE

Cost of product revenue primarily includes costs paid to our manufacturing partners for procuring components and manufacturing our products. Our cost of product revenue also includes personnel costs, which consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, share-based compensation, and travel associated with our operations organization, inventory excess and obsolete charges, shipping and tariff costs, amortization of intellectual property licenses, product testing costs, and shared costs. Shared costs consist of certain facilities, depreciation, benefits, recruiting, and information technology costs that we allocate based on headcount. We expect our cost of product revenue to fluctuate with our revenue from hardware products.

	(dollars in millions)
Cost of product revenue	$	115	$	101	$	14	14	%	$	204	$	176	$	28	16	%

Cost of product revenue increased for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to increased demand for our hardware products and higher tariff costs, partially offset by a decrease in inventory excess and obsolete charges.

COST OF SUBSCRIPTION AND SUPPORT REVENUE

Cost of subscription and support revenue includes personnel costs for our global customer support and technical operations organizations, data center and cloud hosting service costs, third-party professional services costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and capitalized software development costs, customer support and repair costs, and shared costs. We expect our cost of subscription and support revenue to increase as our installed end-customer base grows and adoption of our cloud-based subscription offerings increases.


	Three Months Ended January 31,								Six Months Ended January 31,
	2026		2025		Change				2026		2025		Change

	(dollars in millions)
Cost of subscription and support revenue	$	570	$	498	$	72	14	%	$	1,119	$	977	$	142	15	%

Cost of subscription and support revenue increased for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to increased costs to support the growth of our subscription and support offerings. Cloud hosting service costs, which support our cloud-based subscription offerings, increased $48 million and $97 million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. Personnel costs grew $11 million and $25 million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to headcount growth.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the introduction of new products, manufacturing costs, the average sales price of our products, cloud hosting service costs, personnel costs, the mix of products sold, and the mix of revenue between product and subscription and support offerings. Our higher-end firewall products generally have higher gross margins than our lower-end firewall products within each product series. We expect our gross margins to vary over time depending on the factors described above.

Total gross profit	$	1,909	73.6	%	$	1,658	73.5	%	$	3,745	73.9	%	$	3,243	73.8	%

Product gross margin increased for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to continued shift in our product revenue mix toward software, and a decrease in inventory excess and obsolete charges, partially offset by a decrease in gross margin on our hardware products.

Subscription and support gross margin were flat for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Our operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, share-based compensation, travel and entertainment, and with regard to sales and marketing expense, sales commissions. Our operating expenses also include shared costs, which consist of certain facilities, depreciation, benefits, recruiting, and information technology costs that we allocate based on headcount to each department. We expect operating expenses generally to increase in absolute dollars and to decrease over the long term as a percentage of revenue as we continue to scale our business. As of January 31, 2026, we expect to recognize approximately $2.9 billion of share-based compensation expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.6 years, excluding additional share-based compensation expense related to any future grants of share-based awards. Share-based compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs. Research and development expense also includes prototype-related expenses and shared costs. We expect research and development expense to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in our future products and services, although our research and development expense may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.

Research and development	$	511	$	505	$	6	1	%	$	1,039	$	986	$	53	5	%

Research and development expense was relatively flat for the three months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Research and development expense increased for the six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to increased personnel costs, which grew $41 million for the six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, largely due to headcount growth.

SALES AND MARKETING

Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including commission expense. Sales and marketing expense also includes costs for market development programs, promotional and other marketing costs, professional services, and shared costs. We continue to strategically invest in headcount and have grown our sales presence. We expect sales and marketing expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we increase the size of our sales and marketing organizations to grow our customer base, increase touch points with end-customers, and expand our global presence, although our sales and marketing expense may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs and shared costs for our executive, finance, human resources, information technology, and legal organizations, and professional services costs, which consist primarily of legal, auditing, accounting, and other consulting costs. General and administrative expense also includes change in fair value of contingent consideration liability. We expect general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars over time as we increase the size of our general and administrative organizations and incur additional costs to support our business growth, although our general and administrative expense may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.

General and administrative	$	178	$	154	$	24	16	%	$	357	$	252	$	105	42	%

General and administrative expense increased for the three months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to an increase in acquisition-related costs. General and administrative expense increased for the six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to the partial release of litigation-related accrual of $42 million during the six months ended January 31, 2025. The increase in general and administrative expense for the six months ended January 31, 2026 was further driven by increased personnel costs, which grew $43 million, largely due to increased share-based compensation and headcount growth.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense consists of interest expense related to our 0.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”).

Interest expense decreased for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 due to the maturity of our 2025 Notes in June 2025. Refer to Note 9. Debt in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the Notes.

OTHER INCOME, NET

Other income, net includes interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and investments, and gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement and foreign currency transactions.

Other income, net increased for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to higher interest income as a result of higher average cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was further driven by increased gains on sales of our investments to fund recent acquisitions.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Provision for income taxes consists primarily of U.S. and foreign income taxes. Our effective tax rate during the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 was lower than our statutory tax rate primarily due to excess tax benefits from share-based compensation. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance for our California deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty regarding realizability of these deferred tax assets as they have not met the “more likely than not” realization criterion. We expect future research and development tax credit generation in California to exceed our ability to use the existing tax credits.

Our provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 was primarily due to U.S. and foreign income taxes. Our effective tax rate increased for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to decreased excess tax benefits from share-based compensation relative to our increased business profits. Refer to Note 13. Income Taxes in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital (deficit)	$	360	$	(465)
Cash, cash equivalents, and investments:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	4,158	$	2,269
Investments	3,740		6,190
Total cash, cash equivalents, and investments	$	7,898	$	8,459

As of January 31, 2026, our total cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $7.9 billion were held for general corporate purposes. As of January 31, 2026, we had no unremitted earnings when evaluating our outside basis difference relating to our U.S. investment in foreign subsidiaries. However, there could be local withholding taxes due to various foreign countries if certain lower tier earnings are distributed. Withholding taxes that would be payable upon remittance of these lower tier earnings are not material.

DEBT

In April 2023, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for a $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), with an option to increase the amount of the Credit Facility by up to an additional $350 million, subject to certain conditions. The interest rates and commitment fees are also subject to upward and downward adjustments based on our progress towards the achievement of certain sustainability goals. As of January 31, 2026, there were no amounts outstanding, and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 9. Debt in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the Credit Agreement.

CAPITAL RETURN

In February 2019, our board of directors authorized a $1.0 billion share repurchase program. Our board of directors subsequently authorized additional increases to this share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $4.1 billion. Repurchases will be funded from available working capital and may be made at management’s discretion from time to time. As of January 31, 2026, $1.0 billion remained available for future share repurchases under this repurchase program. The repurchase authorization will expire on December 31, 2026, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Refer to Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on this repurchase program.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER MATERIAL CASH REQUIREMENTS

We have entered into various non-cancelable operating leases, primarily for our offices and data centers, with lease terms expiring through fiscal 2036. As of January 31, 2026, we have total operating lease obligations of $459 million recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As of January 31, 2026, our commitments to purchase products, components, cloud hosting and other services totaled $6.9 billion. Refer to Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on these commitments.

Our acquisition of certain QRadar assets from International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) on August 31, 2024 included contingent consideration that requires potential future payments through the fiscal quarter ending October 2028. As of January 31, 2026, we have total contingent consideration obligation of $369 million recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 3. Fair Value Measurements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our contingent consideration obligation.

On July 30, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire CyberArk. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, CyberArk shareholders were entitled to receive $45.00 in cash and 2.2005 shares of our common stock for each CyberArk share. On February 11, 2026, we completed the acquisition of CyberArk for $2.3 billion in cash and 112 million shares of our common stock. The cash portion of the consideration was funded with our cash on hand. Refer to Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and Note 7. Acquisitions in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the acquisition.

CASH FLOWS

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025:


	Six Months Ended January 31,
	2026		2025

	(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	2,325	$	2,067
Net cash used in investing activities	(332)		(925)
Net cash used in financing activities	(106)		(452)
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	1,887	$	690

Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties detailed in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe that our cash flow from operations with existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced products and subscription and support offerings, the costs to acquire or invest in complementary businesses and technologies, the costs to ensure access to adequate manufacturing capacity, the investments in our infrastructure to support the adoption of our cloud-based subscription offerings, the continuing market acceptance of our products and subscription and support offerings and macroeconomic events. In addition, from time to time, we may incur additional tax liability in connection with certain corporate structuring decisions.

We may also choose to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Our operating activities have consisted of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Our largest source of cash provided by our operations is receipts from our customers. Net cash provided by operating activities can be impacted by factors such as timing of payments and collections, vendor payment terms, and timing and amount of tax payments.

Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended January 31, 2026 was $2.3 billion, an increase of $258 million compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to growth of our business as reflected by increases in collections during the six months ended January 31, 2026, partially offset by higher cash expenditure to support our business growth.

Table of Contents

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Our investing activities have consisted of capital expenditures, net investment purchases, sales, and maturities, and business acquisitions. We expect to continue such activities as our business grows.

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2026 was $332 million, a decrease of $593 million compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to higher proceeds from sales and maturities of investments, partially offset by an increase in net cash payments for business acquisitions during the six months ended January 31, 2026.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Our financing activities have consisted of repayments of our convertible senior notes, proceeds from sales of shares through employee equity incentive plans, payments for tax withholding obligations of certain employees related to the net share settlement of equity awards, and payments of contingent consideration liability.

Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2026 was $106 million, a decrease of $346 million compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash used for repayments of our 2025 Notes which did not recur during the six months ended January 31, 2026 as a result of its maturity, partially offset by payments of our contingent consideration liability during the six months ended January 31, 2026.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future consolidated financial statements will be affected.

We believe the critical accounting estimates discussed under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 reflect our more significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments that have the most significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates as filed in such report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recent accounting pronouncements and our expectation of their impact, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Except for the item below, our assessment of our exposures to market risk has not changed materially from the disclosure set forth in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.

Interest Rate Risk

The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity, and maximize income without significantly increasing risk. Most of the securities we invest in are subject to interest rate risk. To minimize this risk, we maintain a diversified portfolio of cash, cash equivalents, and investments, consisting only of investment-grade securities. To assess the interest rate risk, we performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact a change in interest rates would have on the value of the investment portfolio. Based on investment positions as of January 31, 2026, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates across all maturities would result in a $81 million decline in the fair market value of the portfolio. Such losses would only be realized if we sold the investments prior to maturity. Conversely, a hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would lead to a $84 million increase in the fair market value of the portfolio.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of January 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information set forth under the “Litigation” subheading in Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties including those described below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, also may become important factors that affect us. If any of the following risks or others not specified below materialize, our business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially adversely affected, and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the impacts of any worsening of the economic environment may exacerbate the risks described below, any of which could have a material impact on us.

Risk Factor Summary

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Our operating results may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic and market conditions and the uncertain geopolitical environment.

•Our business and operations have experienced growth in recent periods, and if we do not effectively manage any future growth or are unable to improve our systems, processes, and controls, our operating results could be adversely affected.

•Our revenue growth rate in recent periods may not be indicative of our future performance, and we may not be able to maintain profitability, which could cause our business, financial condition, and operating results to suffer.

•Our operating results may vary significantly from period to period, which makes our results difficult to predict and could cause our results to fall short of expectations, and such results may not be indicative of future performance.

•Seasonality may cause fluctuations in our revenue.

•If we are unable to sell new and additional product, subscription, and support offerings to our end-customers, especially to large enterprise customers, our future revenue and operating results will be harmed.

•If we are unable to attract new customers, our future results of operations could be harmed.

•We rely on revenue from subscription and support offerings, and because we recognize revenue from subscription and support over the term of the relevant service period, downturns or upturns in sales or renewals of these subscription and support offerings are not immediately reflected in full in our operating results.

•The sales prices of our products, subscriptions, and support offerings may decrease, which may reduce our revenue and gross profits and adversely impact our financial results.

•We rely on our channel partners to sell substantially all of our products, including subscriptions and support, and if these channel partners fail to perform, our ability to sell and distribute our products and subscriptions will be limited and our operating results will be harmed.

•We are exposed to the credit and liquidity risk of our customers, and to credit exposure in weakened markets, which could result in material losses.

•A portion of our revenue is generated by sales to government entities, which are subject to a number of challenges and risks.

•We face intense competition and we may lack sufficient financial or other resources to maintain or improve our competitive position.

•We have acquired and may in the future acquire other businesses, which could subject us to adverse claims or liabilities, require significant management attention, disrupt our business, adversely affect our operating results, may not result in the expected benefits of such acquisitions, and may dilute stockholder value.

•As a result of the CyberArk acquisition, the scope and size of our business has substantially changed, which resulted in certain incremental risks, including increased competition.

Table of Contents

•If we do not accurately predict, prepare for, and respond promptly to rapidly evolving technological and market developments and successfully manage product and subscription introductions and transitions to meet changing end-customer needs in the enterprise security industry, our competitive position and prospects will be harmed.

•Issues in the development and deployment of AI may result in reputational harm and legal liability and could adversely affect our results of operations.

•A network or data security incident may allow unauthorized access to our network or data, harm our reputation, create additional liability, and adversely impact our financial results.

•Defects, errors, or vulnerabilities in our products, subscriptions, or support offerings, the failure of our products or subscriptions to block a virus or prevent a security breach or incident, misuse of our products, or risks of product liability claims could harm our reputation and adversely impact our operating results.

•Our ability to sell our products and subscriptions is dependent on the quality of our technical support services and those of our channel partners, and the failure to offer high-quality technical support services could have a material adverse effect on our end-customers’ satisfaction with our products and subscriptions, our sales, and our operating results.

•Claims by others that we infringe their intellectual property rights could harm our business.

•Our proprietary rights may be difficult to enforce or protect, which could enable others to copy or use aspects of our products or subscriptions without compensating us.

•Our use of open source software in our products and subscriptions could negatively affect our ability to sell our products and subscriptions and subject us to possible litigation.

•We license technology from third parties, and our inability to maintain those licenses could harm our business.

•Because we depend on manufacturing partners to build and ship our hardware products, we are susceptible to manufacturing and logistics delays and pricing fluctuations that could prevent us from shipping customer orders on time, if at all, or on a cost-effective basis, which may result in the loss of sales and end-customers.

•Managing the supply of our hardware products and product components is complex. Insufficient supply and inventory would result in lost sales opportunities or delayed revenue, while excess inventory would harm our gross margins.

•Our hardware products contain key components from limited sources of supply, including outside the United States, and we are susceptible to supply shortages, supply changes, and international regulations, which, in certain cases, have disrupted or delayed our scheduled product deliveries to our end-customers, increased our costs and may result in the loss of sales and end-customers.

•If we are unable to attract, retain, and motivate our key technical, sales, and management personnel, our business could suffer.

•We generate a significant amount of revenue from sales to distributors, resellers, and end-customers outside of the United States, and we are therefore subject to a number of risks associated with international sales and operations.

•We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which could negatively affect our financial condition and operating results.

•We face risks associated with having operations and employees located in Israel.

•We are subject to international trade regulations and governmental export and import controls that could subject us to liability or impair our ability to compete in international markets.

•We may incur increased costs to comply with privacy and data protection laws and, if we fail to comply, we could be subject to government enforcement actions, private litigation and adverse publicity.

•We may have exposure to tax liabilities that are greater than anticipated.

•If our estimates or judgments, including those relating to our critical accounting policies, are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our operating results differ from our publicly announced guidance or the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of our common stock.

•We are obligated to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or our internal control may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

•Failure to comply with governmental laws and regulations could harm our business.

•The issuance of additional stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our stock incentive plans, convertible notes, or otherwise will dilute stock held by all other stockholders.

•We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the CyberArk Notes, repurchase the CyberArk Notes upon a fundamental change, or repay the CyberArk Notes in cash at their maturity, and our other debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or repurchase of the CyberArk Notes.

•The capped call transactions may affect the value of the CyberArk Notes and our common stock.

Risks Related to Global Economic and Geopolitical Conditions

Our operating results may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic and market conditions and the uncertain geopolitical environment.

We operate globally, and as a result, our business and revenues are impacted by global economic and geopolitical conditions. The instability in the global credit markets, inflation, changes in public policies such as domestic and international legislation or regulations, changes in enforcement and administration policies, taxes, any increases in interest rates, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, or international trade agreements, international trade disputes, trade regulations, tariffs and changes in tariffs, geopolitical turmoil, and other disruptions to global and regional economies and markets continue to add uncertainty to global economic conditions. Military actions or armed conflict, including the hostilities in Israel and the surrounding region, the Russia-Ukraine war and any related political or economic responses and counter-responses, and uncertainty about, or changes in, government and trade relationships, policies, and treaties could also lead to worsening economic and market conditions and geopolitical environment. In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the United States, along with the European Union (the “E.U.”), has imposed restrictive sanctions on Russia, Russian entities, and Russian citizens (“Sanctions on Russia”). We are subject to these governmental sanctions and export controls, which may subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws. Any continued or further uncertainty, weakness or deterioration in economic and market conditions or the geopolitical environment could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, including reductions in sales of our products and subscriptions, longer sales cycles, reductions in subscription or contract duration and value, slower adoption of new technologies, alterations in the spending patterns or priorities of current and prospective customers (including delaying purchasing decisions), increased costs for the chips and components to manufacture our products, and increased price competition.

Risks Related to Our Business

RISKS RELATED TO OUR GROWTH

Our business and operations have experienced growth in recent periods, and if we do not effectively manage any future growth or are unable to improve our systems, processes, and controls, our operating results could be adversely affected.

We have experienced growth and increased demand for our products and subscriptions over recent years. As a result, our employee headcount has increased, and we expect it to continue to grow over the next year. For example, from the end of fiscal 2025 to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, our headcount increased from 16,068 to 17,027 employees. In addition, as we have grown, the number of end-customers has also increased, and we have managed more complex deployments of our products and subscriptions with larger end-customers. The growth and expansion of our business and product, subscription, and support offerings places a significant strain on our management, operational, and financial resources. To manage any future growth effectively, we must continue to improve and expand our information technology and financial infrastructure, our operating and administrative systems and controls, and our ability to manage headcount, capital, and processes in an efficient manner.

We may not be able to successfully implement, scale, or manage improvements to our systems, processes, and controls in an efficient or timely manner, which could result in material disruptions of our operations and business. In addition, our existing systems, processes, and controls may not prevent or detect all errors, omissions, or fraud. We may also experience difficulties in managing improvements to our systems, processes, and controls, or in connection with third-party software licensed to help us with such improvements. Any future growth would add complexity to our organization and require effective coordination throughout our organization. Failure to manage any future growth effectively could result in increased costs, disrupt our existing end-customer relationships, reduce demand for or limit us to smaller deployments of our products, or materially harm our business performance and operating results.

Our revenue growth rate in recent periods may not be indicative of our future performance, and we may not be able to maintain profitability, which could cause our business, financial condition, and operating results to suffer.

We have experienced revenue growth rates of 15% and 14% for the six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our revenue for any quarterly or annual period should not be relied upon as an indication of our future revenue or revenue growth for any future period. If we are unable to maintain consistent or increasing revenue or revenue growth, the market price of our common stock could be volatile, and it may be difficult for us to maintain profitability or maintain or increase cash flow on a consistent basis.

In addition, we have incurred losses in fiscal years prior to fiscal 2023. We anticipate that our operating expenses will continue to increase in the foreseeable future as we continue to grow our business. Our growth efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenues sufficiently, or at all, to offset increasing expenses. Revenue growth may slow or revenue may decline for a number of possible reasons, including slowing demand for our products or subscriptions, increasing competition, a decrease in the growth of, or a demand shift in, our overall market, or a failure to capitalize on growth opportunities. We have also entered into a substantial amount of capital commitments for operating lease obligations and other purchase commitments. Any failure to increase our revenue as we grow our business could prevent us from maintaining profitability or maintaining or increasing cash flow on a consistent basis, or satisfying our capital commitments. If we are unable to navigate these challenges as we encounter them, our business, financial condition, and operating results may suffer.

Our operating results may vary significantly from period to period, which makes our results difficult to predict and could cause our results to fall short of expectations, and such results may not be indicative of future performance.

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past, and will likely continue to fluctuate in the future, as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control and may be difficult to predict, including those factors described in this Risk Factor section. For example, we have historically received a substantial portion of sales orders and generated a substantial portion of revenue during the last few weeks of each fiscal quarter. If expected revenue at the end of any fiscal quarter is delayed for any reason, including the failure of anticipated purchase orders to materialize (particularly for large enterprise end-customers with lengthy sales cycles), our logistics partners’ inability to ship products prior to fiscal quarter-end to fulfill purchase orders received near the end of a fiscal quarter, our failure to manage inventory to meet demand, any failure of our systems related to order review and processing, or any delays in shipments based on trade compliance requirements (including new compliance requirements imposed by new or renegotiated trade agreements), our revenue could fall below our expectations and the estimates of analysts for that quarter. Due to these fluctuations, comparing our revenue, margins, or other operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and our past results should not be relied on as an indication of our future performance.

This variability and unpredictability could also result in our failure to meet our revenue, margin, or other operating result expectations contained in any forward-looking statements (including financial or business expectations we have provided) or those of securities analysts or investors for a particular period. If we fail to meet or exceed such expectations for these, or any other, reasons, the market price of our common stock could fall substantially, and we could face costly lawsuits, including securities class action suits.

Seasonality may cause fluctuations in our revenue.

We believe there are significant seasonal factors that may cause our second and fourth fiscal quarters to record greater revenue sequentially than our first and third fiscal quarters. We believe that this seasonality results from a number of factors, including:

•end-customers with a December 31 fiscal year-end choosing to spend remaining unused portions of their discretionary budgets before their fiscal year-end, which potentially results in a positive impact on our revenue in our second fiscal quarter;

•our sales compensation plans, which are typically structured around annual quotas and commission rate accelerators, which potentially results in a positive impact on our revenue in our fourth fiscal quarter; and

•the timing of end-customer budget planning at the beginning of the calendar year, which can result in a delay in spending at the beginning of the calendar year, potentially resulting in a negative impact on our revenue in our third fiscal quarter.

As we continue to grow, seasonal or cyclical variations in our operations may become more pronounced, and our business, operating results, and financial position may be adversely affected.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGY

If we are unable to sell new and additional product, subscription, and support offerings to our end-customers, especially to large enterprise customers, our future revenue and operating results will be harmed.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to expand the deployment of our portfolio with existing end-customers, especially large enterprise customers, including through our platformization strategy, and create demand for our new offerings. The rate at which our end-customers purchase additional products, subscriptions, and support depends on a number of factors, including the perceived need for additional security products, including subscription and support offerings, as well as general economic conditions. If our efforts to sell additional products and subscriptions to our end-customers are not successful, our revenues may grow more slowly than expected or decline.

Table of Contents

Sales to large enterprise end-customers, which is part of our growth strategy, involve risks that may not be present, or that are present to a lesser extent, with sales to smaller entities, such as (a) longer sales cycles and the associated risk that substantial time and resources may be spent on a potential end-customer that elects not to purchase our products, subscriptions, and support, and (b) increased purchasing power and leverage held by large end-customers in negotiating contractual arrangements. Deployments for large enterprise end-customers are also more complex, require greater product functionality, scalability, and a broader range of services, and are more time-consuming and resource-consuming. All of these factors add further risk to business conducted with these end-customers. Failure to realize sales from large enterprise end-customers could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

If we are unable to attract new customers, our future results of operations could be harmed.

To increase our revenue and maintain profitability, we must add new customers. To do so, we must successfully convince prospective customers of the value of adopting our solutions. We are engaging in costly marketing and sales efforts to accelerate our strategies, including platformization, and attract new customers, which may fail or may not be as successful as intended or at all. Additionally, prospective customers’ decisions to purchase our solutions depend on a variety of factors, many of which are out of our control. These factors significantly impact our ability to add new customers and increase the time, resources and sophistication required to do so. For example, prospective customers may face real or perceived switching costs when switching to our solutions from legacy security vendors and products. Deployment of our solutions may require a significant commitment of resources from our customers. Any deterioration in general economic conditions, including as a result of the geopolitical environment or inflation (as well as government policies such as raising interest rates in response to inflation), have in the past caused, and may in the future cause, our current and prospective customers to delay or cut their overall security and IT operations spending. If our efforts to attract new customers are not successful, our sales may not grow as quickly as anticipated, or at all, and our business, operating results, and financial condition will be harmed.

We rely on revenue from subscription and support offerings, and because we recognize revenue from subscription and support over the term of the relevant service period, downturns or upturns in sales or renewals of these subscription and support offerings are not immediately reflected in full in our operating results.

Subscription and support revenue accounts for a significant portion of our revenue, comprising 81.3% of total revenue in the six months ended January 31, 2026 and 82.4% of total revenue in the six months ended January 31, 2025. Sales and renewals of subscription and support contracts may decline and fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including end-customers’ level of satisfaction with our products and subscriptions, the frequency and severity of subscription outages, our product uptime or latency, the prices of our products and subscriptions, and reductions in our end-customers’ spending levels. Existing end-customers have no contractual obligation to, and may not, renew their subscription and support contracts after the completion of their initial contract period. Additionally, our end-customers may renew their subscription and support agreements for shorter contract lengths or on other terms that are less economically beneficial to us. If our sales of new or renewal subscription and support contracts decline, our total revenue and revenue growth rate may decline, and our business will suffer. In addition, because we recognize subscription and support revenue over the term of the relevant service period, which is typically one to five years, a decline in subscription or support contracts in any one fiscal quarter will not be fully or immediately reflected in revenue in that fiscal quarter but will negatively affect our revenue in future fiscal quarters.

The sales prices of our products, subscriptions, and support offerings may decrease, which may reduce our revenue and gross profits and adversely impact our financial results.

The sales prices for our products, subscriptions, and support offerings may decline for a variety of reasons, including competitive pricing pressures, discounts, a change in our mix of products, subscriptions, and support offerings, anticipation of the introduction of new products, subscriptions, or support offerings, or promotional programs or pricing pressures. Furthermore, we anticipate that the sales prices and gross profits for our products could decrease over product life cycles. Declining sales prices could adversely affect our revenue, gross profits, and profitability.

We rely on our channel partners to sell substantially all of our products, including subscriptions and support, and if these channel partners fail to perform, our ability to sell and distribute our products and subscriptions will be limited and our operating results will be harmed.

Substantially all of our revenue is generated by sales through our channel partners, including distributors and resellers. For the six months ended January 31, 2026, three distributors individually represented 10% or more of our total revenue and in the aggregate represented 42% of our total revenue. As of January 31, 2026, three distributors individually represented 10% or more of our gross accounts receivable and in the aggregate represented 46% of our gross accounts receivable.

We provide our channel partners with specific training and programs to assist them in selling our products, including subscriptions and support offerings, but there can be no assurance that these steps will be utilized or effective. In addition, our channel partners may be unsuccessful in marketing, selling, and supporting our products and subscriptions. We may not be able to incentivize these channel partners to sell our products and subscriptions to end-customers and, in particular, to large enterprises. These channel partners may also have incentives to promote our competitors’ products and may devote more resources to the marketing, sales, and support of competitive products. Our agreements with our channel partners may generally be terminated for any reason by either party with advance notice prior to each annual renewal date. We cannot be certain that we will retain these channel partners or that we will be able to secure additional or replacement channel partners. In addition, any new channel partner requires extensive training and may take several months or more to achieve productivity. Our channel partner sales structure could subject us to lawsuits, potential liability, and reputational harm if, for example, any of our channel partners misrepresent the functionality of our products or subscriptions to end-customers or violate laws or our corporate policies. If we fail to effectively manage our sales channels or channel partners, our ability to sell our products and subscriptions and operating results will be harmed.

We are exposed to the credit and liquidity risk of our customers, and to credit exposure in weakened markets, which could result in material losses.

Most of our sales are made on an open credit basis. Beyond our open credit arrangements, we have also experienced demands for customer financing and deferred payments due to, among other things, macro-economic conditions. Increases in deferred payments result in payments being made over time, negatively impacting our short-term cash flows, and subject us to risk of non-payment by our customers, including as a result of insolvency. We monitor customer payment capability in granting such financing arrangements, seek to limit the amounts to what we believe customers can pay and maintain reserves we believe are adequate to cover exposure for doubtful accounts to mitigate credit risks of these customers. However, there can be no assurance that these programs will be effective in reducing our credit risks. To the degree that turmoil in the credit markets makes it more difficult for some customers to obtain financing, those customers’ ability to pay could be adversely impacted, which in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our exposure to the credit risks relating to the financing activities described above may increase if our customers are adversely affected by a global economic downturn or periods of economic uncertainty. If we are unable to adequately control these risks, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be harmed. In addition, in the past, we have experienced non-material losses due to bankruptcies among customers. If these losses increase due to global economic conditions, they could harm our business and financial condition.

A portion of our revenue is generated by sales to government entities, which are subject to a number of challenges and risks.

Sales to government entities are subject to a number of risks. Selling to government entities can be highly competitive, expensive, and time-consuming, often requiring significant upfront time and expense without any assurance that these efforts will generate a sale. The substantial majority of our sales to date to government entities have been made indirectly through our channel partners. Government certification or technical requirements for products and subscriptions like ours may change, thereby restricting our ability to sell into the federal government sector until we have attained the revised certification or technical requirements. If our products and subscriptions are late in achieving or fail to achieve compliance with these certifications and standards or technical requirements, or our competitors achieve compliance with these certifications and standards or technical requirements, we may be disqualified from selling our products, subscriptions, and support offerings to such governmental entity, or be at a competitive disadvantage, which would harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. Government entity demand and payment for our products, subscriptions, and support offerings may be impacted by government shutdowns, changes in governmental administrations, public sector budgetary cycles, fiscal policies, contracting policies or requirements, funding authorizations, and efforts by a government to evaluate and reduce overall government spending and analyze and enhance its operational efficiency, with funding reductions or delays adversely affecting public sector demand for our products, subscriptions, and support offerings. Government entities may have statutory, contractual, or other legal rights to terminate contracts with our distributors and resellers for convenience or due to a default, and any such termination may adversely impact our future operating results. Governments routinely investigate and audit government contractors’ administrative processes, and any unfavorable audit could result in the government refusing to continue buying our products, subscriptions, and support offerings, a reduction of revenue, or fines or civil or criminal liability if the audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, which could adversely impact our operating results in a material way. Additionally, the U.S. government may require certain of the products that it purchases to be manufactured in the United States or other relatively high-cost manufacturing locations, and we may not manufacture all products in locations that meet such requirements, affecting our ability to sell these products, subscriptions, and support offerings to the U.S. government.

We face intense competition and we may lack sufficient financial or other resources to maintain or improve our competitive position.

The industry for enterprise security products and the other spaces in which we have offerings is intensely competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future from established competitors and new market entrants. Our main competitors fall into four categories:

•large companies that incorporate security or observability features in their products, such as Alphabet, Cisco, and Microsoft or those that have acquired, or may acquire, security vendors and have the technical and financial resources to bring competitive solutions to the market;

•independent vendors that may offer a mix of security products, such as CheckPoint, Crowdstrike, Delinea, Fortinet, Okta, SailPoint, Wiz, and Zscaler, vendors that may offer a mix of observability products, such as DataDog, Dynatrace, and Elastic, or vendors that may offer a mix of security and observability products;

•startups and point-product vendors that offer independent or emerging solutions across various areas of security; and

•public cloud vendors and startups that offer solutions for cloud security (private, public, and hybrid cloud).

Some of our competitors have or may attain greater financial, technical, marketing, sales, and other resources, greater name recognition, longer operating histories, and a larger base of customers than we do. They may be able to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of products and services than we can, and they may offer lower pricing than we do. Further, they may have greater resources for research and development of new technologies, the provision of customer support, and the pursuit of acquisitions or other strategic investments. They may also have larger and more mature intellectual property portfolios, and broader and more diverse product and service offerings, which allow them to leverage their relationships based on other products or incorporate functionality into existing products to gain business in a manner that discourages users from purchasing our products and subscriptions, including incorporating cybersecurity features into their existing products or services and product bundling, selling at zero or negative margins, and offering concessions or a closed technology offering. Some competitors may have broader distribution and established relationships with distribution partners and end-customers. Other competitors specialize in providing protection from a single type of security threat, which may allow them to deliver these specialized security products to the market more quickly than we can.

The maturity and expansion of the enterprise cybersecurity space may attract new players, such as enterprise software companies in related or adjacent industries. In addition, larger vendors, including the cloud hyperscalers and other cybersecurity companies with specialized or broad platforms, may meaningfully enter or further expand into additional cybersecurity categories, including the identity security category. This additional competition could adversely impact our business.

We also face competition from companies that have entrenched legacy offerings at end-user customers. End-user customers have also often invested substantial personnel and financial resources to design and operate their networks and have established deep relationships with other providers of networking and security products. As a result, these organizations may prefer to purchase from their existing suppliers rather than add or switch to a new supplier such as us. In addition, as our customers refresh the security products bought in prior years, they may seek to consolidate vendors, which may result in current customers choosing to purchase products from our competitors. Due to budget constraints or economic downturns, organizations may add solutions to their existing network security infrastructure rather than replacing it with our products and subscriptions.

Conditions in our market could change rapidly and significantly as a result of technological advancements, partnering, acquisitions or strategic investments by our competitors, or continuing market consolidation. Our competitors and potential competitors may be able to develop new or disruptive technologies, products, or services, and leverage new business models that are equal or superior to ours, achieve greater market acceptance of their products and services, disrupt our markets, and increase sales by utilizing different distribution channels than we do. In addition, new and enhanced technologies, including AI and machine learning, continue to increase our competition. To compete successfully, we must accurately anticipate technology developments and deliver innovative, relevant, and useful products, services, and technologies in a timely manner. Some of our competitors have made or could make acquisitions of businesses that may allow them to offer more directly competitive and comprehensive solutions than they had previously offered and adapt more quickly to new technologies and end-customer needs. Our current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources or product or service offerings.

These competitive pressures in our market or our failure to compete effectively may result in price reductions, fewer orders, reduced revenue and gross margins, and loss of market share. If we are unable to compete successfully, or if competing successfully requires us to take aggressive pricing or other actions, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected.
