Current report
Additionally, as discussed in more detail in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, since 2022, we have been negotiating a bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Israel Tax Authority (ITA) covering various transfer pricing matters for intercompany transactions relating to the intergroup ownership and utilization of our intellectual property (the APA matter). As of April 30, 2025, we have recorded an unrecognized tax benefit of $136.0 million related to the APA matter, and negotiations remain ongoing with no finalized resolution or agreement reached at this time. If we agree to an APA or a negotiated settlement, we may, as part of that agreement, be required to make significant payments to the Israeli government. The unrecognized tax benefit recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2025 could increase or decrease based on further developments relating to this matter. For more information, see Note 9, Income Taxes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Provision for Income Taxes
Current report
The provision for income taxes increased due to an accrual of $136.0 million for an unrecognized tax benefit related to our APA matter, offset by a discrete benefit of $4.7 million from the release of valuation allowance upon recognition of Israel deferred tax assets, also in connection with the APA matter.
Current report
On May 22, 2025, our board of directors authorized the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, under which we may purchase up to $200.0 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock. We may repurchase shares of Class A common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will be at the discretion of management and will depend upon business, economic, and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The 2025 Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date but may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate us to acquire any amount of Class A common stock. We expect to retire any repurchased shares of Class A common stock.
Current report
As of May 28, 2025, no shares have been repurchased under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program.
Current report
Our operating cash flow is influenced by seasonal billing patterns, with a concentration of annual billings in our fiscal fourth quarter due to enterprise buying and renewal cycles. This makes our fiscal first quarter our strongest for collections and operating cash flow. Acquisitions can also impact cash flow due to transaction costs, financing expenses, and lower initial contributions from acquired entities.
Current report
Income Taxes
Current report
We evaluate uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740. We recognize a tax benefit when it is more likely than not that our tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits. The amount recognized is based on the largest benefit that is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions involves significant judgment, including interpretation of tax law, legal precedent, expected outcomes of negotiations with taxing authorities and changes in facts and circumstances. When new information becomes available, such as discussions in settlement negotiations, this could constitute a change in facts and circumstances that may require remeasurement of the associated liability. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, we discussed a framework for final settlement and resolution of a bilateral APA matter with the ITA. Based on these discussions, we assessed probable outcomes and adjusted our measurement of the related uncertain tax position which resulted in $136.0 million of income tax expense.
Current report
We will continue to reassess our uncertain tax positions at each reporting date, incorporating the most current information, including any settlement developments, audit activity, or legal interpretations. See Note 9, Income Taxes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Current report
We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. We establish a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We consider both positive and negative evidence under ASC 740, including historical levels of income, expectations, and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.
Current report
We released valuation allowance of $4.7 million against Israeli deferred tax assets, in connection with a bilateral APA matter, during the three months ended April 30, 2025. We will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets at each reporting date. See Note 9, Income Taxes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our Singularity Platform ingests, correlates, and queries petabytes of structured and unstructured data from a myriad of ever-expanding disparate external and internal sources in real-time. We build rich context and deliver greater visibility by constructing a dynamic representation of data across an organization. As a result, our AI models are highly accurate, actionable, and autonomous. Our distributed AI models run both locally on every endpoint and every cloud workload, as well as on our cloud platform. Our Static and vector-agnostic Behavioral AI models, which run on the endpoints themselves, provide our customers with protection even when their devices are not connected to the cloud. In the cloud, our Streaming AI detects anomalies that surface when multiple data feeds are correlated. By providing full visibility into the Storyline of every secured device across the organization through one console, our platform makes it very fast for analysts to easily search through petabytes of data to investigate incidents and proactively hunt threats. We have extended our control and visibility planes beyond the traditional endpoint to unmanaged IoT devices.

Our overall performance depends in part on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions and their impact on customer behavior. Worsening economic conditions, including inflation, interest rate volatility, slower growth, potential recession, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, actual or perceived instability in the global banking industry, potential uncertainty with respect to the federal debt ceiling and budget and other changes in economic conditions, and the impact of the change in the U.S. presidential administration or natural or man-made global events, including wars and other regional geopolitical armed conflict, such as the conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine and tensions between China and Taiwan, may result in decreased sales productivity and growth and adversely affect our results of operations and financial performance. As a result of the current macroeconomic environment, we have recently experienced certain impacts on our business, including a decline in usage and consumption patterns from certain customers, especially larger enterprise customers, longer sales cycles, and deal downsizing by new customers and of renewals by existing customers, especially larger enterprises.

We believe that ARR is a key operating metric to measure our business because it is driven by our ability to acquire new subscription and consumption and usage-based customers, and to maintain and expand our relationship with existing customers. ARR represents the annualized revenue run rate of our subscription and consumption and usage-based agreements at the end of a reporting period, assuming contracts are renewed on their existing terms for customers that are under contracts with us. ARR is an operational metric and is not a non-GAAP metric. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates, usage, renewal rates, and other contractual terms.

We believe that our ability to retain and expand our revenue generated from our existing customers is an indicator of the long-term value of our customer relationships and our potential future business opportunities. NRR measures the percentage change in our ARR derived from our customer base at a point in time. Our NRR remained in expansionary territory as of October 31, 2024, driven by existing customers adoption of additional endpoint licenses and adjacent platform solutions. A larger portion of our business mix was driven by new customers in 2024, which will open doors for platform adoption over time. We see significant long-term expansion potential based on high customer retention rates, expanding product categories, and early-stage adoption from our installed base.

We generate substantially all of our revenue from subscriptions to our Singularity Platform. Customers can extend the functionality of their subscription to our platform by subscribing to additional Singularity Modules. Subscriptions provide access to hosted software. The nature of our promise to the customer under the subscription is to provide protection for the duration of the contractual term and as such is considered as a series of distinct services. Our arrangements may include fixed consideration, variable consideration, or a combination of the two. Fixed consideration is recognized over the term of the arrangement or longer if the fixed consideration relates to a material right. Variable consideration in these arrangements is typically a function of transaction volume or another usage-based measure. Depending upon the structure of a particular arrangement, we (i) allocate the variable amount to each distinct service period within the series and recognize revenue as each distinct service period is performed (i.e., direct allocation), (ii) estimate total variable consideration at contract inception (giving consideration to any constraints that may apply and updating the estimates as new information becomes available) and recognize the total transaction price over the period to which it relates, or (iii) apply the “right to invoice” practical expedient and recognize revenue based on the amount invoiced to the customer during the period. Premium support and maintenance and other Singularity Modules are distinct from subscriptions and are recognized ratably over the term as the performance obligations are satisfied.

We have financed operations primarily through proceeds received from sales of equity securities, payments received from our customers, and borrowings under a now-terminated loan and security agreement, and we have generated operating losses, as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $1.6 billion and $1.3 billion as of October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, respectively. We expect these and other operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future. We also expect to incur significant research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses over the next several years in connection with the continued development and expansion of our business. As of October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, our principal source of liquidity was cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.
Current wording
We have financed operations primarily through proceeds received from sales of equity securities and payments received from our customers, and we have generated operating losses, as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $1.8 billion and $1.6 billion as of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively. We expect these and other operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future. We also expect to incur significant research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses over the next several years in connection with the continued development and expansion of our business. Additionally, if we agree to an APA, we may, as part of that agreement, be required to make significant payments to the Israeli government which may adversely affect our cash flows over the next several years. As more fully described in the section titled “Risk Factors—Our corporate structure and intercompany arrangements are subject to the tax laws of various jurisdictions, and we could be obligated to pay additional taxes, which would harm our operating results and financial condition” during the three months ended April 30, 2025, in the context of the APA negotiations, we discussed a framework for a final settlement and resolution of this matter with the ITA. As a result of such discussions, we reassessed our uncertain tax position in respect of the APA matter, and based on this reassessment, recorded a tax expense of $136.0 million in the three months ended April 30, 2025. If we agree to an APA or other negotiated settlement, we may, as part of that agreement, be required to make significant payments to the Israeli government. We currently expect that any payments pursuant to an APA (if an APA is concluded) would be made over a number of years and subject to other terms and conditions. However, no agreements between us and the IRS and ITA have been reached at this time. As of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025, our principal source of liquidity was cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.
