Financial Outlook
CrowdStrike is providing the following guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 (ending April 30, 2026) and guidance for fiscal year 2027 (ending January 31, 2027).
Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets (including purchased patents), acquisition-related expenses (credits), net, amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities, legal reserve and settlement charges or benefits, costs (recoveries) associated with the July 19 Incident and related matters, net, strategic plan related charges (benefits), net, losses (gains) and other expense (income) from strategic investments, and losses (gains) on deferred compensation assets, and is adjusted for our long-term non-GAAP effective tax rate. The company has not provided the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items are out of the company's control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation for non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income attributable to CrowdStrike, and non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders, diluted, is not available without unreasonable effort.

1. Effective February 1, 2025, employer payroll taxes related to employee stock-based award transactions are included as part of stock-based compensation expense. These payroll taxes are excluded from CrowdStrike's non-GAAP results as they are tied to the timing and size of the vesting or exercise of the underlying stock-based awards and the price of our common stock at the time of vesting or exercise, which may vary from period to period independent of the operating performance of our business. Prior period has been recast to reflect this change.
2. Stock-based compensation expense has been revised to reflect immaterial prior period adjustments.
3. Effective second quarter fiscal year 2026, we adopted a 21.0% long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate, reduced from the previous rate of 22.5%, in connection with the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This rate reflects the anticipated tax benefit from earning income outside the U.S. while retaining intellectual property within the U.S. The change is applied prospectively, and the tax rate for prior periods remains unchanged.
4. Adjustments are related to the difference between the GAAP provision for income taxes and non-GAAP provision for income taxes.
5. For periods in which we had diluted non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders, the sum of the impact of individual reconciling items may not total to diluted non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders because of rounding differences.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to determining results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), CrowdStrike believes the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating its operating performance. CrowdStrike uses the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. CrowdStrike believes that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as these measures eliminate the effects of certain variables unrelated to CrowdStrike’s overall operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
Other companies, including companies in CrowdStrike’s industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of CrowdStrike’s non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate CrowdStrike’s business.
Change in Non-GAAP Measures Presentation
Effective as of February 1, 2025, the beginning of our fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, CrowdStrike began presenting employer payroll taxes related to employee stock-based award transactions as part of stock-based compensation expense in the GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation. These payroll taxes are excluded from CrowdStrike's non-GAAP results as they are tied to the timing and size of the vesting or exercise of the underlying stock-based awards and the price of CrowdStrike's common stock at the time of vesting or exercise, which may vary from period to period. In addition, effective second quarter fiscal year 2026, CrowdStrike adopted a 21.0% long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate, reduced from the previous rate of 22.5%, in connection with the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This rate reflects the anticipated tax benefit from earning income outside the United States (U.S.) while retaining intellectual property within the U.S. The change is applied prospectively, and the tax rate for prior periods remains unchanged.
Non-GAAP Subscription Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Subscription Gross Margin
CrowdStrike defines non-GAAP subscription gross profit and non-GAAP subscription gross margin as GAAP subscription gross profit and GAAP subscription gross margin, respectively, excluding stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and strategic plan related charges (benefits), net.
Non-GAAP Income from Operations

Non-GAAP Net Income per Share Attributable to CrowdStrike Common Stockholders, Diluted

Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that CrowdStrike defines as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software and website development costs, purchases of deferred compensation investments, and proceeds from sale of deferred compensation investments. CrowdStrike monitors free cash flow as one measure of its overall business performance, which enables CrowdStrike to analyze its future performance without the effects of non-cash items and allows CrowdStrike to better understand the cash needs of its business. While CrowdStrike believes that free cash flow is useful in evaluating its business, free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that has limitations as an analytical tool, and free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to, or substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities in accordance with GAAP. The utility of free cash flow as a measure of CrowdStrike’s liquidity is further limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in CrowdStrike’s cash balance for any given period. In addition, other companies, including companies in CrowdStrike's industry, may calculate free cash flow differently or not at all, which reduces the usefulness of free cash flow as a tool for comparison.
Explanation of Operational Measures
Annual Recurring Revenue
ARR is calculated as the annualized value of CrowdStrike’s customer subscription contracts as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on its existing terms. To the extent that CrowdStrike is negotiating a renewal with a customer after the expiration of the subscription, CrowdStrike continues to include that revenue in ARR if CrowdStrike is actively in discussion with such an organization for a new subscription or renewal, or until such organization notifies CrowdStrike that it is not renewing its subscription.
Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate
CrowdStrike's dollar-based net retention rate compares its ARR from a set of subscription customers against the same metric for those subscription customers from the prior year. CrowdStrike's dollar-based net retention rate reflects customer renewals, expansion, contraction and churn, and excludes revenue from its incident response and proactive services. Dollar-based net retention rate as of period end is calculated by starting with the ARR from all subscription customers as of 12 months prior to such period end, or Prior Period ARR. CrowdStrike then calculates the ARR from these same subscription customers as of the current period end, or Current Period ARR. Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or churn over the trailing 12 months, but excludes revenue from new subscription customers in the current period. CrowdStrike then divides the Current Period ARR by the Prior Period ARR to arrive at its dollar-based net retention rate.
Dollar-Based Gross Retention Rate
Dollar-based gross retention rate as of the period end is calculated by starting with the ARR from all subscription customers as of 12 months prior to such period, or Prior Period ARR. CrowdStrike then deducts from the Prior Period ARR any ARR from subscription customers who are no longer customers as of the current period end, or Current Period Remaining ARR. CrowdStrike then divides the total Current Period Remaining ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at its dollar-based gross retention rate, which is the percentage of ARR from all subscription customers as of the year prior that is not lost to customer churn.
Definition of Module Adoption Rates
Module adoption rates are calculated by taking the total number of customers with six or more, seven or more, and eight or more modules, respectively, divided by the total number of subscription customers (excluding Falcon Go customers). Falcon Go customers are defined as customers who have subscribed with the Falcon Go bundle, a package designed for organizations with 100 endpoints or less.
