Did RBRK Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results
Rubrik posted a standout first quarter of fiscal 2026, beating consensus estimates on both the top and bottom lines as its accelerating subscription business drove results well ahead of expectations. The cybersecurity company reported revenue of $278.48 million, up 48.7% year-over-year and ahead of the $260.41 million consensus, while a non-GAAP loss per share of $0.15 came in 53.05% better than the $0.32 analysts had anticipated. The single biggest driver was the continued strength of Rubrik's subscription model, with subscription revenue surging 54% year-over-year to $265.66 million and subscription ARR crossing $1.18 billion, supported by 2,381 customers spending at least $100,000 annually, a 28% increase from the prior year. Profitability metrics improved sharply as well, with GAAP gross margin expanding to 78.3% from 48.8% and free cash flow turning positive at $33.34 million. Looking ahead, Rubrik guided Q2 revenue of $281 million to $283 million and full-year revenue of $1.18 billion to $1.19 billion, with free cash flow projected between $65 million and $75 million.
