Total revenue was up 26% year-over-year in the first quarter. Subscription revenue came in at $1.32 billion, also up 26% year-over-year. Annual recurring revenue increased 24% year-over-year to $5.51 billion after the company added $255.8 million of net new ARR in the quarter.
Net cash generated from operations was $590.9 million, and free cash flow came in at $468.5 million. CrowdStrike ended the period with $4.55 billion in cash and cash equivalents.
“In Q1, the worlds of cybersecurity and frontier AI collided: this was the Mythos moment. CrowdStrike is AI security infrastructure, critical to successful AI adoption,” said George Kurtz, founder and CEO of CrowdStrike.
“Our record Q1 net new ARR, QuiltWorks coalition, and AIDR innovation are indicators of our own AI inflection point. We’re seeing platform adoption from existing customers, new logo lands, and increased partner engagement, each giving me the conviction to significantly raise our FY27 net new ARR guidance.”
