The headline numbers were underpinned by meaningful margin expansion, with GAAP operating income climbing 19% to $58.84 million and operating margin widening to 34% from 31% a year ago, reflecting disciplined cost management and operating leverage. A 59% surge in quarterly operating cash flow to $75.70 million added further weight to the results, and analysts have noted that full-year free cash flow of $304.41 million significantly exceeded statutory net income of $198.32 million, suggesting stronger underlying earnings power than reported profits convey. Looking ahead, management guided full-year 2026 revenue of $717.00 million to $725.00 million, implying 7-8% growth, a modest step down from the current 10% pace that reflects cautious macro assumptions rather than any deterioration in the company's core cybersecurity demand trends.

Key Takeaways

  • 10% year-over-year revenue growth driven by platform adoption and enterprise engagements
  • GAAP operating margin expanded to 34% from 31% year-over-year
  • Operating cash flow increased 59% year-over-year in Q4 to $75.7 million
  • Non-GAAP gross margin improved to 85% from 84% year-over-year
