The data security company posted Q1 revenue of $173.13 million, up 26.9% year-over-year and ahead of the $165.50 million consensus estimate by 4.61%, while non-GAAP EPS of $0.06 exceeded the $-0.05 consensus by 209.69%. The primary engine behind the outperformance was a surge in SaaS revenue to $161.06 million, up 82% from a year ago, as customers continued converting from legacy term licenses to the cloud platform, pushing SaaS ARR to $683.20 million, a 69% year-over-year gain. The results arrive against a backdrop of lingering legal scrutiny tied to prior-quarter guidance cuts, making the raised full-year outlook, including revenue of $731 million to $737 million and SaaS ARR of $814 million to $845 million, a meaningful signal of renewed management confidence. Several analysts raised their price targets following the report.
