Current report
In addition, as part of the integration of the Prompt acquisition, we are evaluating the future structure of its acquired intellectual property. This includes a potential alignment of Israeli-owned intellectual property which, if effectuated, may result in a cash tax liability in Israel. As of October 31, 2025, we had not made a final decision on this matter, and accordingly, the potential tax impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

We have incurred net losses in all periods since our inception, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. We experienced a net loss of $72.0 million and $69.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of July 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.9 billion. While we have historically experienced significant growth in revenue, we cannot predict when or whether we will reach or maintain profitability. We also expect our operating expenses to increase in the future as we continue to invest in our future growth, including expanding our research and development function to drive further development of our platform, expanding our sales and marketing activities, developing the functionality to expand into adjacent markets, and reaching customers in new geographic locations, which could negatively affect our operating results if our total revenue does not increase. In addition to the anticipated costs to grow our business, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses as a public company. Our revenue growth is expected to slow as we scale and our revenue may decline for a number of other reasons, including reduced demand for our platform, increased competition, a decrease in the growth or reduction in the size of our overall market, or if we cannot capitalize on growth opportunities, including acquisitions, new products, services, and feature releases. While we consistently evaluate opportunities to reduce our operating costs and optimize efficiencies, including personnel restructuring plans, we cannot guarantee that these efforts will be successful or that we will not re-accelerate operating expenditures in the future in order to capitalize on growth opportunities. If we fail to increase our revenue to offset increases in our operating expenses, or manage our costs as we invest in our business, we may not achieve or sustain profitability.

The market for cybersecurity products and services is intensely competitive, fragmented and is rapidly evolving, characterized by changes in technology, customer requirements, industry standards, increasingly sophisticated attackers, and frequent introductions of new or improved products and services. We expect to continue to face intense competition from current competitors, as well as from new entrants into the market, as our competitors complete strategic acquisitions or form cooperative relationships and/or customer requirements evolve. If we are unable to anticipate or react to these challenges, our competitive position could weaken, and we would experience a decline in revenue or reduced revenue growth, and loss of market share that would adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. For a description of our competitors, see the section titled “Business—Competition.”

We are meaningfully investing in our platform, including growing our cloud security product. For example, in February 2024, we acquired PingSafe, a cloud security platform, to couple PingSafe’s CNAPP with our cloud workload security and cloud data security capabilities and Stride, a workflow automation tool that will enable us to further our autonomous platform vision.

As part of our business strategy, we have in the past and expect to continue to make investments in and/or acquire complementary companies, services, products, technologies, or talent. For example, in February 2024 we acquired both PingSafe, a cloud security platform, and Stride, a security automation company, and in August 2025, we announced the acquisition of Prompt Security, a security automation company. We have also invested in certain privately held companies through our S Ventures fund, and we may not realize a return on these investments. All of our venture investments are subject to a risk of partial or total loss of investment capital. Our ability as an organization to acquire and integrate other companies, services or technologies in a successful manner is not guaranteed.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand and our reputation as a leading provider of endpoint and platform security solutions is critical to our relationship with our existing customers, channel partners, and alliance partners and our ability to attract new customers and partners. The successful promotion of our brand will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to continue to develop additional features for our platform, our ability to successfully differentiate our platform from competitive cloud-based or legacy security solutions, our marketing efforts, and, ultimately, our ability to detect and stop breaches. Although we believe it is important for our growth, our brand promotion activities may not be successful or yield increased revenue.

Moreover, the performance of our channel partners and alliance partners may affect our brand and reputation, as it could negatively impact our reputation if customers do not have a positive experience with these partners. In addition, we have in the past worked, and continue to work, with high profile customers and have assisted in analyzing and remediating high profile cyberattacks. Our work with such customers has exposed us to publicity and media coverage. Negative publicity about us, including about our management, the efficacy and reliability of our platform, our product offerings, our professional services, and the customers we work with, even if inaccurate, could adversely affect our reputation and brand.

We have experienced rapid growth in recent periods, and we expect to continue to invest broadly across our organization to support our growth. For example, our headcount grew from over 2,500 employees as of July 31, 2024, to over 2,700 employees as of July 31, 2025. Although we have experienced rapid growth historically, we may not sustain our growth rates, nor can we assure you that our investments to support our growth will be successful. The growth and expansion of our business will require us to invest significant financial and operational resources and the continuous dedication of our management team.

We regularly review key business metrics, including our ARR, number of customers with ARR of $100,000, and other measures to evaluate growth trends, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions. These metrics are calculated using internal company data and have not been validated by an independent third party. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates for the applicable period of measurement at the time of reporting, there are inherent challenges in such measurements. If we fail to maintain effective processes and systems, our metrics calculations may be inaccurate, and we may not be able to identify those inaccuracies. We regularly review our processes for calculating these metrics, and from time to time we make adjustments to improve their accuracy. Moreover, we may periodically change the definition or methodology underlying our metrics. For example, as a result of a decline in usage and consumption in the quarter ended April 30, 2023, we decided to change our methodology of calculating ARR for consumption and usage-based agreements to reflect committed contract values as opposed to based on consumption and usage. In addition, as part of our quarterly review of ARR in connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended April 30, 2023, we discovered some historical inaccuracies relating to ARR on certain contracts, which we have corrected. As a result, we made a one-time adjustment of approximately 5% of total ARR, which we reflected in our total ARR as of April 30, 2023. If our key metrics are inaccurate or if investors perceive any changes to our key business metrics or the methodologies for calculating these metrics negatively, our business could be adversely affected.

We are subject to laws and regulations, including government export and import controls, that could subject us to liability or impair our ability to compete in our markets. Our platform and related technology are subject to U.S. export controls, including the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations (EAR). We, along with our employees, representatives, contractors, agents, intermediaries, and other third parties are also subject to various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by OFAC and other U.S. government agencies. We incorporate standard encryption algorithms into our platform, which, along with the underlying technology, may be exported or reexported to foreign countries only with the required export authorizations, including by license, license exception or other appropriate government authorizations, which may require the filing of an encryption registration and classification request and other reports submitted on a periodic basis. We also offer certain customers a ransomware warranty in addition to their subscriptions, providing coverage in the form of a limited monetary payment if they are affected by a ransomware attack (as specified in our ransomware warranty agreement), and though the terms of the warranty do not allow those customers to use warranty claim payments to fund payments to persons on OFAC’s list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons or who are otherwise prohibited to receive such payments under U.S. sanctions, we cannot assure you that all of our customers will comply with our warranty terms or refrain from taking actions in violation of our warranty and applicable law. Furthermore, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions prohibit the export and re-export of certain hardware and software and the provision of certain cloud-based solutions to certain countries, governments and persons targeted by U.S. sanctions and for certain end-uses. For example, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries have continued to impose economic sanctions and severe export control restrictions against Russia and Belarus. Should the conflict escalate, sanctions and export restrictions will likely expand and strengthen, potentially impacting our ability to conduct business in certain regions and with specific individuals and entities in those regions. Further, regulators in the U.S. and elsewhere have signaled an increased emphasis on sanctions and export control enforcement, including several recent high-profile enforcement actions and increased pressure for companies to self-disclose potential violations. While we have implemented certain procedures to facilitate compliance with applicable laws and regulations in connection with the collection and distribution of this information, we cannot assure you that these procedures have been fully effective or that we, or third parties who we do not control, have complied with all laws or regulations in this regar…

The GDPR prohibits, among other things, personal data from being transferred outside of the EEA or the U.K. to any jurisdictions (Third Countries, including the U.S.) that have not been deemed adequate by regulators in the E.U. or U.K., unless steps are taken to legitimize those data transfers. Switzerland follows similar legal practices. We currently rely on the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and our certification under the E.U.-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), the U.S.-U.K. DPF and the Swiss U.S. DPF for the transfer of personal data from the E.U. or the U.K. to Third Countries. However these transfer mechanisms could be subject to further legal challenge which could cause the legal requirements for personal data transfers from these countries to the U.S. to become uncertain once again. If we are otherwise unable to transfer personal data between and among countries and regions in which we operate, it could affect the manner in which we provide our services, adversely affecting our financial results, and possibly making it necessary to establish systems in the EEA, Switzerland, the U.K. and other jurisdiction to maintain personal data originating from those jurisdictions that adds expenses and may create distractions from our other business pursuits.

In recent years, some regulators have proposed or introduced cybersecurity licensing requirements or certification regimes for specific sectors, such as critical infrastructure. These may impose new requirements on us or our current or prospective customers including, but not limited to, data processing locations, breach notification, and security standards. For instance, under DORA, which came into force in January 2025, our E.U. financial entity clients for whom we are a third-party provider of critical information and communication technology (ICT) services will require us to contract with and manage our relationships with them (and, where applicable, our relationships with critical third-party technology vendors in our own supply chain) in accordance with the requirements of DORA. Such requirements may cause us to incur significant organizational costs and increase barriers of entry into new markets. Our failure to comply with applicable laws, directives, and regulations may result in enforcement action against us, including fines, and damage to our reputation, any of which may have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.

In addition to DORA, the European Union’s Data Act (the “Data Act”) became applicable on September 12, 2025. Among other things, the Data Act imposes data and cloud service interoperability and switching obligations to enable users to switch between cloud service providers. If we are subject to the Data Act, we may be required to revise our customer contracts and pricing models, and implement new switching procedures. Such requirements may cause us to incur significant organizational costs and increase barriers of entry into new markets.

It is not uncommon for tax authorities in different countries to have conflicting views, for instance, with respect to, among other things, the manner in which the arm’s length standard is applied for transfer pricing purposes, the transfer pricing and charges for intercompany services and other intercompany transactions, or with respect to the valuation of our intellectual property for tax purposes and the manner in which our intellectual property is owned and utilized within our group. Since 2022, we have been negotiating a bilateral APA with the U.S. and the Israeli governments, covering various transfer pricing matters for intercompany transactions relating to the intergroup ownership and utilization of our intellectual property among our group enterprises and the provision of intergroup services. An APA, if obtained and implemented, will provide us with greater certainty regarding our tax obligations in respect of our U.S. and Israeli intercompany transactions, transfer pricing and charges, and a more predictable future business operating model, and will preclude the relevant tax authorities from making certain transfer pricing adjustments within the scope of these agreements. While we still continue to vigorously defend our tax position, during the six months ended July 31, 2025, in the context of the APA negotiations, we discussed a framework for a final settlement and resolution of this matter. As a result of such discussions, we reassessed our uncertain tax position related to the APA matter, and based on this reassessment, we recorded tax expense of $136.0 million in the six months ended July 31, 2025. However, no agreements between us and the IRS and ITA authorities have been reached at this time. 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. Alternatively, if we are unable to agree upon an APA, the ITA may initiate an audit of our intercompany agreements and transactions, which may result in a potential tax assessment. While we continue to vigorously defend our tax position, any fines, penalties, settlement or adverse judgment relating to such matter may have a material and adverse impact on our business, operating results, financial conditions and cash flows and the unrecognized tax benefit recorded during the six months ended July 31, 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.

Previous wording
The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with the holders of our Class B common stock who held, in the aggregate, approximately 47% of the voting power of our capital stock as of July 31, 2025, which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors and the approval of any change of control transaction.
Current wording
The dual class structure of our common stock has had the effect of concentrating voting control with the holders of our Class B common stock who held, in the aggregate, approximately 28% of the voting power of our capital stock as of October 31, 2025, which makes it more difficult for you to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors and the approval of any change of control transaction.
Previous wording
Our Class B common stock has 20 votes per share, and our Class A common stock has one vote per share. As of July 31, 2025, the holders of our outstanding Class B common stock hold approximately 47% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Because of the twenty-to-one voting ratio between our Class B and Class A common stock, the holders of our Class B common stock collectively are expected to continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock and therefore will be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval until the earlier of (i) the date specified by a vote of the holders of 66 2/3% of the then outstanding shares of Class B common stock, (ii) seven years from the date of our prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act (the Final Prospectus), or June 29, 2028, (iii) the first date following the completion of our IPO on which the number of shares of outstanding Class B common stock (including shares of Class B common stock subject to outstanding stock options) held by Tomer Weingarten, including certain permitted entities that Mr. Weingarten controls, is less than 25% of the number of shares of outstanding Class B common stock (including shares of Class B common stock subject to outstanding stock options) that Mr. Weingarten originally held as of the date of our Final Prospectus, (iv) the date fixed by our board of directors, following the first date following the completion of our IPO when Mr. Weingarten is no longer providing services to us as an officer, employee, consultant or member of our board of directors, (v) the date fixed by our board of directors following the date on which, if applicable, Mr. Weingarten is terminated for cause, as defined in our restated certificate of incorporation, and (vi) the date that is 12 months after the death or disability, as defined in our restated certificate of incorporation, of Mr. Weingarten. This concentrated control will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval. In addition, this may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our capital stock that you may feel are in your best interest as one of our stockholders.

As of October 31, 2025, the holders of our outstanding Class B common stock held approximately 28% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. The outstanding Class B common stock automatically converts to Class A common stock on the earlier of (i) the date specified by a vote of the holders of 66 2/3% of the then outstanding shares of Class B common stock, (ii) seven years from the date of our prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act (the Final Prospectus), or June 29, 2028, (iii) the first date following the completion of our IPO on which the number of shares of outstanding Class B common stock (including shares of Class B common stock subject to outstanding stock options) held by Tomer Weingarten, including certain permitted entities that Mr. Weingarten controls, is less than 25% of the number of shares of outstanding Class B common stock (including shares of Class B common stock subject to outstanding stock options) that Mr. Weingarten originally held as of the date of our Final Prospectus, (iv) the date fixed by our board of directors, following the first date following the completion of our IPO when Mr. Weingarten is no longer providing services to us as an officer, employee, consultant or member of our board of directors, (v) the date fixed by our board of directors following the date on which, if applicable, Mr. Weingarten is terminated for cause, as defined in our restated certificate of incorporation, and (vi) the date that is 12 months after the death or disability, as defined in our restated certificate of incorporation, of Mr. Weingarten.

Previous wording
Future transfers by holders of our Class B common stock will generally result in those shares converting to Class A common stock, subject to limited exceptions, such as certain transfers effected for estate planning purposes. The conversion of Class B common stock to Class A common stock will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of our Class B common stock who retain their shares in the long term.
