Did CRWD Beat Earnings? Q1 2025 Results
CrowdStrike opened fiscal 2026's first quarter with a clean beat on both top and bottom lines, reporting non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.93 against a consensus estimate of $0.89, a 4.49% beat, while revenue of $921.04 million topped expectations of $904.66 million and grew 33% year-over-year. The primary engine behind the results was the continued momentum of the Falcon platform, where subscription revenue climbed 34% to $872.17 million and Annual Recurring Revenue expanded 33% to $3.65 billion, with net new ARR of $211.70 million. Operating leverage was equally notable; non-GAAP operating income reached $198.74 million, expanding the non-GAAP operating margin to 22% from 17% a year ago, while free cash flow of $322.46 million represented a 35% free cash flow margin. Even as some broader cybersecurity sector sentiment has faced pressure from peers offering cautious outlooks, CrowdStrike raised its full-year FY25 revenue guidance to a range of $3.98 billion to $4.01 billion, with non-GAAP EPS guided at $3.93 to $4.03, signaling continued confidence in platform-driven growth.
