Current report
In fiscal 2026, we launched RAC, our AI agent operations suite, to accelerate enterprise AI transformation without introducing added risk. RAC is designed to monitor and audit agentic actions, enforce real-time guardrails for agentic changes, fine-tune agents for accuracy and, finally, undo agent mistakes. Built on our unique architecture that understands data, identity and application contexts, RAC is designed to give customers security, accuracy, and efficiency as they transform their organizations into AI enterprises. As RAC only became commercially available in February of 2026, we expect the RSC suite to continue to be the majority of our revenue in fiscal 2027 and the main driver for ARR growth.

Factors Affecting Our Performance
Current report
Macroeconomic and Supply Chain Conditions
Current report
Our overall performance depends in part on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions and their impact on customer behavior. Macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations, tariffs or other trade restrictions, geopolitical issues, changes in government policy or spending, and other changes in economic conditions, may adversely affect the buying patterns of our customers and prospective customers. For example, in light of current macroeconomic conditions, such as higher cost-consciousness around information technology budgets, as well as constraints affecting the availability or pricing of compatible commodity servers needed to deploy our solutions, we have observed a lengthening of our sales cycles. Additionally, key components of the commodity servers that are compatible with our solutions have been, and continue to be, adversely affected by global chip shortages and allocation constraints, in part due to elevated industry demand, which in certain cases have resulted in extended lead times and increased server prices. While we have largely completed the sales of Rubrik-branded Appliances transitioning from us to our contract manufacturers in fiscal 2025, such delays, constraints and increased costs may adversely affect our customers’ purchasing decisions and deployment timelines. In response, we may in the future provide commercial accommodations, which could reduce our margins or adversely affect our revenue and operating results if such practices become widespread or prolonged. Due to our subscription-focused business model, any impact of the current macroeconomic environment and supply chain constraints on our business may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. As we continue to monitor the direct and indirect impacts of the current environment, the broader implications of macroeconomic conditions and supply chain constraints on our business, results of operations and financial condition, particularly in the long term, remain uncertain.
Current report
Certain prior period amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. For the years ended January 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company combined maintenance revenue and other revenue into “Other” on the consolidated statements of operations. The presentation of cost of revenue has been conformed to reflect the changes related to the presentation of revenues. Such reclassifications related to the presentation of revenue and cost of revenue did not impact total revenue, loss from operations or net loss.
Current report
Results of Operations
Current report
Growth in subscription revenue for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 was driven by growth in Subscription ARR and some benefits as customers exercised or forfeited their Subscription Credits. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, non-recurring revenue related to material rights associated with Subscription Credits accounted for approximately $70.2 million. We expect our subscription revenue to continue to benefit from customers exercising or forfeiting their Subscription Credits through fiscal 2027, although we expect the benefits to significantly reduce sequentially.
Current report
Cost of other revenue decreased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 primarily driven by a $15.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense, as a result of higher RSU expense in the prior period related to the recognition of cumulative stock-based compensation expense upon our IPO. The remaining decrease is due to lower costs associated with decreased sales of Rubrik-branded Appliances, as the transition of sales of Rubrik-branded Appliances from us to our contract manufacturers was largely completed in fiscal 2025.
Current report
Other gross margin increased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 as a result of higher RSU expense in the prior periods related to the recognition of cumulative stock-based compensation expense upon our IPO.
Current report
Research and development expenses decreased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 primarily driven by a decrease of $194.3 million in stock-based compensation expense as a result of higher RSU expense in the prior periods related to the recognition of cumulative stock-based compensation expense upon our IPO in April 2024. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $22.8 million in employee related costs driven by an increase in headcount, an increase of $5.6 million in hosting and software expense and $5.4 million in consulting services expense to support the Company’s growth.
Current report
Sales and marketing expenses decreased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 primarily driven by a decrease of $214.6 million in stock-based compensation expense as a result of higher RSU expense in the prior periods related to the recognition of cumulative stock-based compensation expense upon our IPO in April 2024. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $60.7 million in marketing expense as a result of advertising costs, marketing events and related costs to promote and expand our market presence, and an increase of $49.1 million in employee related costs driven by an increase in headcount.
Current report
General and administrative expenses decreased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 primarily driven by a decrease of $127.5 million in stock-based compensation expense as a result of higher RSU expense in the prior periods related to the recognition of cumulative stock-based compensation expense upon our IPO in April 2024. The decrease is offset by an increase of $11.8 million in charitable donations, an increase of $8.3 million in consulting services expense, an increase of $3.5 million in hosting and software expense and an increase of $2.7 million in employee related costs driven by an increase in headcount.
Current report
Interest expense decreased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 as our Amended Credit Facility was fully repaid in June 2025.
Current report
Loss on debt extinguishment increased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 due to the write-off of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs and prepayment premium paid upon the full repayment of borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility.
Current report
Other income (expense), net includes foreign exchange gains and losses and fluctuations are driven by the strengthening or weakening of the US dollar against foreign currencies on our foreign-denominated intercompany payables.
Current report
Our income tax expense increased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 due to increased profits in our foreign subsidiaries, mainly due to non-deductible stock-based compensation.
Current report
In June 2025, we repaid the outstanding balance of $327.9 million under the Amended Credit Facility and terminated the Amended Credit Agreement.
Current report
In June 2025, we completed a private offering to qualified institutional buyers of $1.15 billion aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Convertible Notes" or "Notes"). The Convertible Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on June 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes were approximately $1.13 billion. The outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes was $1.15 billion as of January 31, 2026.
Current report
In connection with the Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain affiliates of certain initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes and other financial institutions (the “Capped Calls”) for a cost of $88.6 million. The Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price initially equal to $175.10 per share. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes to pay the $88.6 million cost of the Capped Calls and repay the outstanding balance of $327.9 million under the Amended Credit Facility. We expect to use the remaining net proceeds from the Convertible Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary businesses or technologies, working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Previous report
Maintenance Revenue
Previous report
Maintenance revenue represents fees earned from software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support, integrated web-based support, and Rubrik-branded Appliance maintenance relating to our perpetual licenses. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the service period. We expect our maintenance revenue to decrease as we drive adoption of RSC for existing maintenance customers and the transition to be largely completed by the end of fiscal 2026.
Previous report
Cost of Maintenance Revenue
Previous report
Cost of maintenance revenue primarily includes employee compensation and related expenses associated with customer support from our perpetual licenses. Over the long-term, we expect our cost of maintenance revenue to decrease as our maintenance revenue decreases.
Previous report
Maintenance Gross Margin
Previous report
We expect maintenance revenue to decrease as a percentage of total revenue, which we expect will result in a decrease in maintenance costs. We expect our maintenance margin to fluctuate until the end of fiscal 2026 as maintenance revenue and related costs decline as customers adopt RSC.
Previous report
Growth in subscription revenue was driven by growth in Subscription ARR and modest benefits as customers exercised or forfeited their Subscription Credits but also benefited from the fiscal 2024 revenue headwind related to the transition to RSC and higher than expected upfront and non-recurring revenue. The higher than expected upfront and non-recurring revenue is also due to higher new sales and renewals of RSC-Private from regulated and government verticals in fiscal 2025 as well as the extension of RCDM-T to some of our customers, as they progress through their adoption of RSC.
Previous report
Cost of maintenance revenue decreased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 primarily due to $3.1 million decrease in our customer support organization costs relating to maintenance revenue as we no longer offer new perpetual licenses and as existing maintenance customers adopted RSC subscription offerings, offset by an increase of $3.1 million in stock-based compensation expense we recognized after and as a result of the completion of our IPO.
Previous report
Cost of other revenue increased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 primarily due to $14.5 million in stock-based compensation expense we recognized after and as a result of the completion of our IPO, partially offset by a decrease in Rubrik-branded Appliances costs of $10.9 million as we are transitioning the sale of Rubrik-branded Appliances from us to our contract manufacturers.
Previous report
Maintenance gross margin decreased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 due to the stock-based compensation expense we recognized after and as a result of the completion of our IPO.
Previous report
Other gross margin decreased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 due to the stock-based compensation expense we recognized after and as a result of the completion of our IPO.
Previous report
Research and development expenses increased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025. Employee compensation and related expenses increased by $318.2 million due to $293.5 million of stock-based compensation expense we recognized after and as a result of the completion of our IPO and increases in headcount as we continued to develop new products and enhance the functionalities of our existing products.
Previous report
Sales and marketing expenses increased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025. Employee compensation and related expenses increased by $366.5 million due to $329.1 million of stock-based compensation expense we recognized after and as a result of the completion of our IPO and increases in headcount.
Previous report
General and administrative expenses increased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025. Employee compensation and related expenses increased by $232.4 million due to $218.6 million of stock-based compensation expense we recognized after and as a result of the completion of our IPO and increases in headcount.
Previous report
Interest expense increased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 primarily due to our Prior Credit Facility and Amended Credit Facility (each as defined below).
Previous report
Our income tax expense decreased for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 due to the impact of integrating the operations of Laminar during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024 and several of our foreign subsidiaries making an election in the current year to be treated as U.S. branches for federal income tax purposes effective in fiscal 2024.
Previous report
For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities of $95.9 million resulted primarily from $96.5 million in proceeds from the issuance of debt, net of discount and $3.4 million from the exercise of stock options, offset by $3.7 million for payment of deferred offering costs.

Common Stock Valuations
Previous report
Prior to the IPO, the fair value of the common stock underlying our stock-based awards has historically been determined by our board of directors, with input from management and reference to contemporaneous unrelated independent third-party valuations. We believe that our board of directors has the relevant experience and expertise to determine the fair value of our common stock. Given the absence of a public trading market of our common stock, and in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, our board of directors exercised reasonable judgment and considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair value of our common stock. These factors include:
Previous report
•the results of contemporaneous unrelated third-party valuations of our common stock at periodic intervals;
Previous report
•the prices, rights, preferences, and privileges of our redeemable convertible preferred stock relative to those of its common stock;
Previous report
•the lack of marketability of our common stock;
Previous report
•our actual operating and financial results;
Previous report
•our current business conditions and projections;
Previous report
•market multiples of comparable companies in our industry;
Previous report
•the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or sale of our company, given prevailing market conditions;
Previous report
•recent secondary stock sales transactions; and
Previous report
•macroeconomic conditions.
Previous report
The determination of the fair value of our common stock involves the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future revenue, expenses, future cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable public companies, and the probability of and timing associated with possible future events.
Previous report
Following the IPO, the fair value of our common stock is based on the closing price as reported on the date of grant on the stock exchange on which we are listed.
Previous report
CEO Performance Award
Previous report
In June 2022, our board of directors approved a stock option grant to our CEO, Mr. Sinha to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. The CEO Performance Award was granted upon our IPO and vests upon the satisfaction of a service-based condition and the achievement of certain stock price goals. We estimated the grant date fair value of the award using the Monte Carlo simulation method which incorporates multiple stock price paths as well as the possibility that the stock price goals may not be satisfied. One of the judgmental assumptions in the Monte Carlo simulation method is the expected volatility of our common stock price. Since we do not have sufficient trading history of our common stock, we estimated the expected volatility at the grant date by using the historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies over a period equal to the time to expiration of the options.
Previous report
JOBS Act Accounting Election
Previous report
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act for the adoption of certain accounting standards until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

We launched our first enterprise software product, Converged Data Management, in fiscal 2016, which combined data and metadata together into a single layer of software to offer Zero Trust data protection, and sold it as a perpetual license along with associated maintenance contracts. In fiscal 2019, we extended data protection to cloud native applications and rebranded Converged Data Management to Cloud Data Management ("CDM"). Data protection for cloud native applications are sold as a SaaS subscription product. In addition, we began offering new SaaS subscription products, Anomaly Detection and Sensitive Data Monitoring. In fiscal 2020, we continued our business evolution to a subscription pricing model by offering our CDM platform as a subscription term-based license with associated support. Included in this subscription term-based license was the right to next generation Rubrik-branded commodity servers ("Rubrik-branded Appliances") at no cost for qualified customers ("Refresh Rights"). As of February 1, 2022, we stopped offering CDM as a perpetual license.

In fiscal 2023, to meet customer demands for data security and a single, unified cloud-based control plane, we launched RSC, a comprehensive Zero Trust Data Security platform. RSC culminates our early vision of providing one point of control to secure data across enterprise, cloud, and SaaS applications. RSC is primarily adopted by our customers as a cloud-native, fully managed SaaS solution. It is also available as an enterprise-ready, self-managed version ("RSC-Private"), for a few select customers that are subject to stringent data control policies. For U.S. public sector organizations, we also offer a specialized cloud-native fully managed SaaS solution called RSC-Government.

We began transitioning customers from our legacy CDM capabilities to RSC, which is offered on a subscription basis, in fiscal 2023. As part of this business transition, we began transitioning the sale of Rubrik-branded Appliances from us to our contract manufacturers and stopped offering the Refresh Rights as part of our subscription offerings. In lieu of offering Refresh Rights, we offer Subscription Credits to qualifying customers. We recognize ratable revenue upon utilization or upfront revenue upon expiration of Subscription Credits, and utilization of Subscription Credits also offsets Subscription ARR for the applicable period. As of the end of fiscal 2024, RSC represented a majority of our total revenue.

Previous wording
We recognize revenue from the sales of our RSC platform (excluding RSC-Private) ratably over the term of the subscription. We recognize a portion of revenue from sales of RSC-Private upon delivery and the remainder ratably over the term of the subscription. The majority of sales of our subscriptions are for three-year terms with upfront payment, and renewals are typically for one-year terms.

Previous wording
We expect new and existing customers to continue to adopt RSC. Our new customers have generally been rapidly adopting the RSC platform. We are actively migrating our existing customers from our legacy CDM capabilities to RSC. As part of this migration, we expect certain existing customers to consume our platform and products through a mix of RSC and a transitional CDM license ("RCDM-T"), during which time we expect to continue recognizing a portion of the associated revenue from these customers upfront at the time we transfer control of the license to the customer. We cannot predict how long these customers will use this mix before they complete their transition. In addition, our revenue will fluctuate when qualified customers choose to exercise or forfeit their Subscription Credits (which are customer options that are accounted for as material rights) upon their associated expiration date.

Our future success depends in part on the market adoption of our approach to Zero Trust Data Security. Many organizations have focused on preventing cyberattacks instead of protecting their data and having a plan to recover it in case of a cyberattack. We believe that the existing security ecosystem lacks a data security platform that will secure a customer’s data, wherever it lives, across enterprise, cloud, and SaaS applications. RSC is our Zero Trust Data Security platform that addresses the growing demand from organizations of virtually any size, across a wide range of industries, to address data security and cyberattack risks. As the data security market continues to evolve, we expect to continuously innovate our platform and product functionality to keep us in a strong position to capture the large opportunity ahead.

Our ability to retain customers and expand within existing customers is integral to our growth and future success. Our growing base of customers represents a significant opportunity for further expansion across our platform. Our customers typically start with securing data in one or more applications on our platform, and then expand by securing additional applications and increasing the amount of data secured. They further extend their use of our platform through adoption of additional security products. Several of our largest customers have deployed our platform to protect enterprise, unstructured data, cloud, and SaaS applications, securing large amounts of their data. Our ability to expand and extend within our customer base depends on, and has been impacted by, a number of factors, including platform performance, our customers’ satisfaction with our platform, competitive offerings, pricing, overall changes in our customers’ spending levels, and the effectiveness of our efforts to help our customers realize the benefits of our platform.

Subscription ARR is calculated as the annualized value of our active subscription contracts as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on existing terms. Subscription contracts include offerings for our RSC platform and related data security SaaS solutions, term-based licenses for our RSC-Private platform and related products, prior sales of CDM sold as a subscription term-based license with associated support and related SaaS products, and standalone sales of our SaaS subscription products like Anomaly Detection and Sensitive Data Monitoring. We believe Subscription ARR illustrates our success in acquiring new subscription customers and maintaining and expanding our relationships with existing subscription customers.

Our cloud-based subscription contracts include RSC and RSC-Government (excluding RSC-Private). Cloud ARR also includes SaaS subscription products like Anomaly Detection and Sensitive Data Monitoring, which are sold standalone or with prior sales of term-based license offerings of CDM. We believe that Cloud ARR provides important information on new and existing customers purchasing new RSC subscription offerings and existing subscription term-based license customers renewing with RSC subscription offerings.

Cloud ARR also includes SaaS subscription products like Anomaly Detection and Sensitive Data Monitoring, which are sold standalone or with prior sales of term-based license offerings of CDM. We believe that Cloud ARR provides important information on new and existing customers purchasing new RSC subscription offerings and existing subscription term-based license customers renewing with RSC subscription offerings.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. We believe that free cash flow is a helpful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated or used by our operations that, after the investments in property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software, can be used for strategic initiatives, including investing in our business and strengthening our financial position. The limitation of free cash flow is that it does not reflect our future contractual commitments and may fluctuate due to the timing of cash payments received from our customers and payments relative to expenses, including discretionary cash payments of our debt interest expense pursuant to the terms of our Amended Credit Facility and prepayments of other spend. Additionally, free cash flow is not a substitute for cash used in operating activities, and the utility of free cash flow as a measure of our liquidity is further limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period.

Free cash flow was $21.6 million, $(24.5) million and $(15.0) million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Free cash flow for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 includes a cash outlay of $22.8 million for employer payroll taxes due to the vesting of certain equity awards in conjunction with the initial public offering. The improvement in free cash flow was primarily due to higher sales that were offset by higher expenses including expenses from Laminar operations, which was acquired in August 2023, a decrease in contract term due to the growth of our Cloud and SaaS products, and an increasing mix of annual and consumption payments from customers. This trend when combined with changes in new business growth, may result in free cash flow volatility across periods.

Subscription ARR Contribution Margin was 2%, (12)%, and (38)% for the 12 months ended January 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the 12 months ended January 31, 2025, the non-GAAP expenses includes the recognition of $22.8 million for employer payroll taxes due to the vesting of certain equity awards in conjunction with the initial public offering. The increase in Subscription ARR Contribution Margin was primarily driven by the strong year-over-year growth in Subscription ARR, compared to year-over-year growth in non-GAAP subscription costs of sales and non-GAAP operating expenses. We believe that this increase in Subscription ARR Contribution Margin reflects increased operating leverage in our business.

Our revenue will fluctuate based on the timing for transitioning our existing customers to RSC, including the RCDM-T licenses offered to existing customers, sales of RSC-Private, and when qualified customers choose to exercise or forfeit their Subscription Credits, the customer options that are accounted for as material rights. These expected trends, when combined with the transition of the sale of Rubrik-branded Appliances from us to our contract manufacturers, will limit and cause fluctuations to our revenue growth through fiscal 2027. We primarily measure our business on the basis of Subscription ARR, as we believe it best reflects our actual growth and our growth prospects.
Current wording
While we have largely completed both the sales of Rubrik-branded Appliances transitioning from us to our contract manufacturers in fiscal 2025 and the transition for new and existing customers to sales of RSC in fiscal 2026, we expect our subscription revenue to continue to benefit from customers exercising or forfeiting their Subscription Credits (which are customer options that are accounted for as material rights) through fiscal 2027, although we expect the benefits to significantly reduce sequentially. These business transitions cause fluctuations to our total revenue growth and limit the comparability of our revenue with past performance. We primarily measure our business on the basis of Subscription ARR, as we believe it best reflects our actual growth and our growth prospects.

SaaS includes SaaS subscription products like Anomaly Detection and Sensitive Data Monitoring sold standalone or with prior sales of term-based license offerings of CDM prior to the launch of the RSC platform as well as sales of RSC. RSC is offered as a fully-hosted subscription or a hybrid cloud subscription. RSC is a fully-hosted subscription in the case of protection of cloud, SaaS, and unstructured data applications. When RSC is securing enterprise applications, it is a hybrid cloud subscription which includes software hosted from the cloud (as a service) and an on-premise license for securing enterprise applications. The hybrid cloud subscription is accounted for as a single performance obligation because the software hosted from the cloud (as a service) and the on-premise software licenses are not separately identifiable and serve together to fulfill our promise to the customer, which is to provide a single, unified data security solution. Our subscription capabilities are primarily sold as editions which bundle multiple products and include the Foundation Edition, Business Edition, Enterprise Edition, and Enterprise Proactive Edition. Subscription revenue related to SaaS is recognized ratably over the subscription period.

As customers continue to adopt or transition to RSC, we expect the ratable portion of our subscription revenue to increase. We expect certain customers to consume our platform and products through a mix of RSC and RCDM-T as they complete the migration, which will result in a recognition of a portion of the associated revenue for these customers upfront. Furthermore, our subscription revenue will also fluctuate when qualified customers choose to exercise or forfeit their customer options that are accounted for as material rights. In fiscal 2025, subscription revenue saw some modest benefits as customers exercise or forfeit their Subscription Credits. We expect to see some further benefits through fiscal 2027 that we do not expect to continue in the long-term. The combination of both of these factors will limit and cause fluctuations in our subscription revenue growth through fiscal 2027, depending in part on the timing of our existing customers’ transition to RSC.

Our subscription revenue will fluctuate when qualified customers choose to exercise or forfeit their customer options that are accounted for as material rights. We have experienced revenue growth benefits from the non-recurring revenue associated with material rights; however, we expect these benefits to decline over the course of fiscal 2027.

Other revenue represents fees earned from sales of Rubrik-branded Appliances and professional services. Revenue for Rubrik-branded Appliances is recognized when shipped to the customer. When we sell our software license with our Rubrik-branded Appliances, revenue for both the Rubrik-branded Appliances and software licenses are recognized at the same time. Revenue related to professional services is typically recognized as the services are performed. In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we began transitioning the sale of Rubrik-branded Appliances from us to our contract manufacturers and this was largely completed in fiscal 2025. We expect other revenue to be largely driven by sales of professional services in the future and as a percentage of total revenue to decrease over time.

With increased adoption of RSC, we expect SaaS revenue to increase as a percentage of total revenue, which we expect will result in an increase in associated hosting costs. As customers adopt RSC, we expect our subscription gross margin to fluctuate through fiscal 2027. This is due to the revenue being recognized ratably over the subscription term rather than a portion being recognized upfront from subscription term-based licenses and associated increases in hosting costs for our SaaS solutions. We expect our subscription gross margin to fluctuate as customers adopt data security SaaS solutions on the RSC platform.

Our Subscription ARR grew from $784.0 million as of January 31, 2024 to $1,092.6 million as of January 31, 2025, representing a 39% increase. Of the increase in Subscription ARR, 2 percentage points are a result of transitioning our existing maintenance customers to our subscription editions. A further indication of our ability to expand revenue from existing customers is through our average subscription dollar-based net retention rate which was greater than 120% as of January 31, 2025.

The Amended Credit Facility will mature in August 2028. We borrowed the full amount of the initial term loans and approximately $4.1 million of delayed draw term loans under the Amended Credit Facility on the closing date of the Amended Credit Facility in order to (i) refinance and replace in full the outstanding term loans under the Prior Credit Facility, (ii) finance the consideration for the acquisition of Laminar, and (iii) pay the accrued quarterly interest under the Prior Credit Facility then due.

The annual interest rate on outstanding term loans under the Amended Credit Facility can also decrease by 0.5% if we achieve certain financial targets. In connection with each of the Prior Credit Facility and the Amended Credit Facility, we were also required to pay customary fees for a credit facility of this size and type, including an upfront fee. We have the option to prepay the loans under the Amended Credit Facility at any time subject to a prepayment premium of (i) 1.5% in the first year following the closing of the Amended Credit Facility, (ii) 0.5% in the second year following the closing of the Amended Credit Facility, and (iii) 0.0% thereafter.

Our billings grow with new business growth. The majority of our billings are driven by invoicing our customers for multi-year commitments. However, this may evolve as customers have opted to, and may continue to opt to, pay us on an annual or consumption basis based on products purchased due to the growth in our SaaS product offerings. In addition, our billings are subject to seasonality, with billings in the fourth quarter being substantially higher than in the other three quarters. As of January 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $705.1 million. Our cash equivalents and investments primarily consist of money market funds, U.S. treasuries, commercial paper, corporate bonds, and U.S. government agencies securities. We have generated significant operating losses from our operations as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $(2,837.3) million as of January 31, 2025. We expect to continue to incur operating losses, and our operating cash flows may fluctuate between positive and negative amounts for the foreseeable future due to the investments we intend to make as described above. As a result, we may require additional capital resources to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business.

Our longer-term future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our subscription growth rate, subscription renewal activity, including the timing and the amount of cash received from customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the introduction of new and enhanced products, and the continuing market adoption of our platform. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash and long-term investment balances, and our Amended Credit Facility, and potential future debt or equity financings. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of deploying available cash. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, or if we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, financial condition, and operating results would be adversely affected.
