CyberArk Announces Strong Third Quarter 2025 Results
NEWTON, Mass. & PETACH TIKVA, Israel--( BUSINESS WIRE)-- CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the global leader in identity security, today announced strong financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
“CyberArk delivered outstanding results, highlighted by record third quarter net new ARR and continued strong execution,” said Matt Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of CyberArk. “We saw robust demand across our business, as customers turn to us to solve their most complex identity security challenges. The proliferation of privilege across human identities, the exponential rise of machine identities, and the emerging need to secure agentic AI create a tremendous opportunity — one that we are uniquely positioned to capture.”
Continued Cohen, “Looking ahead, the combination of CyberArk and Palo Alto Networks will create a powerful growth engine, enabling us to reach more customers and meet the rapidly expanding market. Our customers are very excited about this partnership and the creation of a modern identity security platform for the AI era.”
Financial Summary for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2025
The financial results for the third quarter of 2025 include the financial contributions from the acquisition of Venafi, which closed on October 1, 2024, and the financial contributions from the acquisition of Zilla Security, which closed on February 12, 2025. The financial results in the comparable period in 2024 did not include any financial contribution from these acquisitions.

Proposed Transaction with Palo Alto Networks
On July 30, 2025, CyberArk announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement under which Palo Alto Networks (“PANW”) intends to acquire CyberArk in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $25 billion in equity value, based on per-share consideration of $45.00 in cash and 2.2005 shares of PANW common stock. The press release announcing the transaction is available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both PANW and CyberArk and is expected to close during the second half of PANW’s fiscal 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory clearances and approval by the Company’s shareholders.
Earnings Conference Call and Guidance
As a result of the proposed transaction with PANW, the Company will not be holding a conference call to discuss its third quarter 2025 results and will not be providing financial guidance.
New Presentation of Revenue Line Items
Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, CyberArk revised the presentation of its lines of revenue and cost of revenue by combining the revenues and cost of revenues previously reported under the “Perpetual license” line and “Maintenance and Professional Services” line under the “Maintenance, Professional Services and Other” line. The Company believes this presentation of revenue and cost of revenue on the consolidated statement of operations aligns with how management evaluates the business. Historical information by quarter for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, which has been retroactively reclassified to reflect the new lines of revenue and cost of revenue, can be found in the PowerPoint presentation posted to CyberArk’s investor relations website.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Recurring Revenue
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
Subscription Portion of Annual Recurring Revenue
Maintenance Portion of Annual Recurring Revenue
Net New ARR
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), Subscription portion of ARR and Maintenance portion of ARR are performance indicators that provide more visibility into the growth of our recurring business in the upcoming year. This visibility allows us to make informed decisions about our capital allocation and level of investment. Each of these measures should be viewed independently of revenues and total deferred revenue as each is an operating measure and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those measures. ARR, Subscription portion of ARR and Maintenance portion of ARR are not forecasts of future revenues and can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
CyberArk believes that the use of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow is helpful to our investors. These financial measures are not measures of the Company’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to gross profit, operating loss, net income (loss) or net cash provided by operating activities or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that are adjusted by, as applicable, share-based compensation expense, acquisition related expenses, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, facility exit and transition costs, gain from investment in privately held companies, change in fair value of derivative assets, tax adjustments, purchase of property and equipment and other assets, capitalized internal-use software, one-time tax payment on the capital gain from the intercompany migration of intellectual property, payments related to the proposed transaction with PANW, and payments for capital expenditures related to our new U.S. headquarters allows for more meaningful comparisons of its period to period operating results. Share-based compensation expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business and an important part of the compensation provided to its employees. Share-based compensation expense has varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and a variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash expense. The Company believes that acquisition related expenses, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, facility exit and transition costs, change in fair value of derivative assets, gain from investment in privately held companies, and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs do not reflect the performance of its core business and impact period-to-period comparability. The Company believes free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are liquidity measures that, after the purchase of property and equipment and other assets, capitalized internal-use software, one-time tax payment on the capital gain from the intercompany migration of intellectual property, payments for capital expenditures related to our new U.S. headquarters and payments related to the proposed transaction with PANW provide useful information about the amount of cash generated by the business.
Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures as they exclude expenses that may have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. CyberArk urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, we will utilize a fixed projected non-GAAP tax rate when calculating non-GAAP financial measures to provide better consistency across interim reporting periods. In projecting this rate, we exclude the effects of certain non-recurring items, which do not necessarily reflect our normal operations, and the direct income tax effects of other non-GAAP adjustments. The fixed projected non-GAAP tax rate is based on annual financial projections and reflects our evaluation of historical and projected geographic earnings mix within our operating structure, recurring tax credits, existing tax positions in various jurisdictions and current impacts from key legislation. Based on these considerations, we applied a fixed projected non-GAAP tax rate for 2025 of 24%. We will provide updates to this rate on an annual basis, or more frequently, if significant events have a material impact on the rate. The rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, such as significant changes in the geographic earnings mix, relevant tax law changes in major jurisdictions where we operate, or significant acquisitions. The tax adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include income tax adjustments related to non-GAAP items.
