Current report
Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to our exclusive forum provisions, including the Federal Forum Provision. These provisions may limit stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of their choosing for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Previous report
In addition, pursuant to our amended and restated investors’ rights agreement, dated October 28, 2020, certain stockholders have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to file a registration statement for the public resale of such capital stock or to include such shares in registration statements that we may file for us or other stockholders. Any registration statement we file to register additional shares, whether as a result of registration rights or otherwise, could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline or be volatile.

Previous wording
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 $76.2 million and $208.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of April 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $2.2 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, and expanding into adjacent markets and 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 down 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.

Previous wording
Our business depends on the overall demand for information technology and on the economic health of our current and prospective customers. In addition, the purchase of our platform is often discretionary and may involve a significant commitment of capital and other resources. Weak global and regional economic conditions, including the changes in U.S. federal spending, significant political or regulatory developments including changes in trade policy (including actual or threatened changes in tariffs and trade restrictions), U.S. and global macroeconomic issues, actual or perceived global banking and finance related issues, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, fluctuating interest rates and inflation, spending environments, geopolitical instability, warfare and uncertainty, weak economic conditions in certain regions or a reduction in information technology spending regardless of macroeconomic conditions, including the effects of the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, and tensions between China and Taiwan, could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition, including resulting in longer sales cycles, a negative impact on our ability to attract and retain new customers or expand our platform or sell additional products and services to our existing customers, lower prices for our platform, higher default rates among our channel partners, reduced sales to new or existing customers and slower or declining growth. For example, as a result of current uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions and related higher cost consciousness around IT budgets, we have continued to experience 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 expect the global macroeconomic conditions impacting demand to persist in the near term. Deterioration in economic conditions in any of the countries in which we do business could also cause slower or impaired collections on accounts receivable, which may adversely impact our liquidity and financial condition.

Although we have implemented security measures designed to prevent such attacks, our networks and systems, and those of our third-party vendors and service providers may be breached due to the actions of outside parties, human error, insufficient cybersecurity controls, malfeasance, a combination of these, or otherwise, and as a result, an unauthorized party may obtain access to our and/or our customers’ systems, networks, or data. We and our third-party vendors and service providers may face difficulties or delays in identifying or otherwise responding to any attacks or actual or potential security breaches or threats. More capable general-purpose AI models released by major providers that are or may soon become widely accessible to developers and end users have amplified, and will continue to amplify, the capabilities of threat actors, enabling more targeted and convincing phishing and social engineering campaigns, automated identification and exploitation of software vulnerabilities, the generation of novel malware and attack vectors, prompt injection attacks, automated reconnaissance, and the ability to conduct attacks at greater speed and scale than previously possible. These AI-enhanced threats may be more difficult to detect using traditional security measures and may require us to research and invest in additional defensive capabilities. These risks are exacerbated by developments in generative AI. A breach in our or in our third-party vendors and service providers’ data security or an attack against our platform or our third-party vendors’ or service providers’ platform could impact our networks or the networks and data of our customers that are secured by our platform, creating system disruptions or slowdowns and providing access to malicious parties to information stored on our networks or the networks of our customers, resulting in data being publicly disclosed, misused, altered, lost, or stolen, which could subject us to liability and adversely affect our financial condition. If compromised, our own systems or the systems of our third-party vendors and service providers could be used to facilitate or magnify an attack. Further, the trend towards remote and hybrid work by companies and individuals has generally increased the attack surface available to bad actors for exploitation, and as such, the risk of a cybersecurity incident potentially occurring has increased. We have accordingly increased our investments in protective measures and risk mitigation strategies, but we cannot guarantee that our efforts, or the efforts of our third-party vendors and service providers or efforts of others upon whom we rely and partner with, will be successful in preventing any such information security incidents. Protecting our own assets has become more expensive from a dollar investment and time perspective and these costs may increase as the threat landscape evolves, including as a result of the use of AI by bad actors.

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 September 2025, we acquired Prompt, a private company focused on the generative and agentic AI security space, and Observo, an AI-ready data pipeline company, and in March 2026, we made a strategic investment in Knight JV, LLC. We have also invested in certain privately held companies through our S Ventures fund, which may not generate returns and 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 may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates, or complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. Our due diligence efforts may fail to identify all of the material risks, liabilities or other challenges involved in an acquisition. Even if completed, acquisitions or investments may not strengthen our competitive position, may not achieve expected benefits, and may be viewed negatively by our customers or investors.

Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscription for our platform after the expiration of their contractual subscription period, which is generally one to three years. In the normal course of business, some customers have elected not to renew or have reduced the scope or duration of their subscriptions. Our customer retention and expansion may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our services, our pricing, customer security and networking issues and requirements, our customers’ spending levels, our channel partner strategy and pricing, decreases in the number of endpoints to which our customers deploy our solution, mergers and acquisitions involving our customers, industry developments, competition, general economic conditions, or the perceived decline in the incidence of cyberattacks. If our efforts to maintain and expand our relationships with our existing customers are not successful, our business, operating results, and financial condition will materially suffer.

Substantially all of our sales are fulfilled through our channel partners, including resellers, distributors, MSPs, MSSPs, MDRs, OEMs, and IR firms, and we expect that we will continue to generate a significant portion of our revenue from channel partners for the foreseeable future. Our agreements with our channel partners generally are non-exclusive, do not last for set terms, and may be terminated by either party at any time. Further, the majority of channel partners fulfill our sales on a purchase order basis and do not impose minimum purchase requirements or related terms on sales. We also have several large MSSP, OEM and reseller partnerships with multi-year purchasing commitments. Additionally, we have entered, and intend to continue to enter, into alliance partnerships with third parties to support our future growth plans. The loss of a substantial number of our channel partners or alliance partners, the failure to recruit additional partners, or failure of partners to meet their purchasing commitments would adversely affect our business, operating results, key financial metrics and financial condition.

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 2,700 employees as of April 30, 2025, to over 3,000 employees as of April 30, 2026. 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.

In addition, as we have grown, our number of customers has also increased significantly, and we have increasingly managed more complex deployments of our platform in more complex computing environments. The rapid growth and expansion of our business places a significant strain on our management, operational, and financial resources. To manage any future growth effectively, we must continue to improve and expand our information technology and financial infrastructure, our operating and administrative systems and controls, and our ability to manage headcount, capital, and processes in an efficient manner. As a result of macroeconomic conditions, in June 2023, and March and July 2025, we approved restructuring plans designed to improve operational efficiencies and operating costs, and better align our workforce and operations with current business needs, priorities, and near term growth expectations.

In addition, job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards and other compensation they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our compensatory package declines, it may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects would be severely harmed. Further, our competitors may be successful in recruiting and hiring members of our management team or other key employees, and it may be difficult for us to find suitable replacements on a timely basis, on competitive terms, or at all. In recent years, the increased availability of hybrid or remote working arrangements has expanded the pool of companies that can compete for our employees and employment candidates. Although we have entered into employment agreements with our key employees, these agreements are on an “at-will” basis, meaning they are able to terminate their employment with us at any time. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects would be severely harmed.

Further, for our 2022 to 2024 tax years, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 required research and experimental (R&E) expenditures to be capitalized and amortized ratably over a five-year period for domestic expenditures. Any such expenditures attributable to research conducted outside the United States were required to be capitalized and amortized over a 15-year period. On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the OBBBA), restoring immediate deductibility of domestic R&E expenditures beginning with our 2025 tax year, while foreign R&E expenditures will continue to be capitalized and amortized over a 15-year period. The OBBBA introduced other provisions, such as the permanent extension and modification of certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, changes to bonus depreciation rules, and adjustments to interest expense limitations. The OBBBA did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended April 30, 2026.

In addition, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Inclusive Framework of over 140 jurisdictions have joined a two-pillar plan to reform international taxation rules. The first pillar is focused on the allocation of taxing rights between countries for in-scope multinational enterprises that sell goods and services into countries with little or no local physical presence and is intended to apply to multinational enterprises with global turnover above €20 billion. The second pillar (Pillar Two) is focused on developing a global minimum tax rate of at least 15% applicable to in-scope multinational enterprises and is intended to apply to multinational enterprises with annual consolidated group revenue in excess of €750 million. The rules were effective for us beginning in fiscal 2025 but are not expected to be applicable until fiscal 2027. Numerous countries have enacted or substantially enacted legislation to implement these rules. In January 2026, the OECD issued additional guidance regarding a side-by-side agreement, which is intended to provide relief for U.S.-parented multinational corporations from certain provisions of Pillar Two, but will require adoption by OECD member countries to implement. While Pillar Two did not have an impact on our tax provision or effective tax rate in first quarter of fiscal 2027, we continue to monitor Pillar Two and other evolving tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

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. On January 8, 2026, we entered into the Agreement with the ITA covering various transfer pricing matters for intercompany transactions between us and our Israeli subsidiary, including the valuation and taxation of intellectual property. The Agreement fully and finally resolves all related Israeli disputed income tax matters between us, our affiliates, and the ITA for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2021 through January 31, 2025. This settlement with the ITA includes certain principles established in the bilateral Advanced Pricing Agreement (APA) process between us, the Internal Revenue Service, and the ITA, which we have been negotiating since fiscal year 2022, and provides a final tax determination on this matter for Israeli tax purposes. As a result of this final resolution and the related reassessment of our uncertain tax positions, through April 30, 2026, we recorded a total tax expense of $183.5 million, inclusive of interest, related to this matter. Under the terms of the Agreement, we are required to make installment payments through fiscal 2031 and the unpaid balance is subject to a 7.0% annual interest rate. Additionally, in the event of a change in control, all unpaid amounts plus interest—$267.1 million (792.7 million Israeli New Shekels) —would accelerate and become immediately due. For more information, see Note 9, Income Taxes, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our operating expenses incurred outside the U.S. and denominated in foreign currencies are increasing and are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These expenses are denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Other than entering into foreign currency forward contracts to economically manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the ITA liability denominated in the Israeli New Shekel, we do not currently hedge against the risks associated with currency fluctuations, but may do so, or use other derivative instruments, in the future.

Our operating expenses incurred outside the U.S. and denominated in foreign currencies are increasing and are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Other than entering into foreign currency forward contracts to economically manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the ITA liability denominated in the Israeli New Shekel, we do not currently hedge against the risks associated with currency fluctuations, but may do so, or use other derivative instruments, in the future.
Previous wording
We may also issue our shares of our capital stock or securities convertible into shares of our capital stock from time to time in connection with a financing, an acquisition, an investment, or otherwise. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline.

Previous 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 27% of the voting power of our capital stock as of April 30, 2026, 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.
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 26% of the voting power of our capital stock as of July 31, 2026, 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 April 30, 2026, the holders of our outstanding Class B common stock held approximately 27% 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. The dual class structure of our common stock will make it difficult for you to influence corporate matters, 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.

Previous wording
Provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a merger, acquisition or other change of control of the company that the stockholders may consider favorable. In addition, because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Among other things, our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include provisions that:
