CyberArk Software (NasdaqGS:CYBR) Announces Q1 Earnings With Revenue Up To US$318 Million
CyberArk Software recently reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings, showcasing a significant 43% increase in revenue to $317.6 million and a doubling of net income to $11.46 million. This impressive financial performance, underscored by increased earnings per share, aligns with the company's 3.4% share price rise over the past month. While this was in line with the broader market increase of 3.9%, CyberArk's positive earnings results and the release of the 2025 Identity Security Landscape Report likely added weight to its strong performance by reinforcing confidence in its strategic direction. CyberArk Software has 1 possible red flag we think you should know about. Rare earth metals are the new gold rush. Find out which 23 stocks are leading the charge. The recent earnings report highlights CyberArk's capacity to enhance its financial stature with a 43% revenue surge to US$317.6 million and a doubling of net income to US$11.46 million. These results may reinforce the narrative of growth fueled by its acquisitions and strength in the AI-driven identity security sector. The company's integration of Venafi and Zilla Security suggests continued revenue enhancement and cross-selling potential, pivotal for sustained competitive positioning. Over the past five years, CyberArk's total shareholder return surged by 276.07%. This longer-term performance reflects its ability to adapt and grow within its industry, despite being currently unprofitable. Over the last year, the company outperformed the US Software industry with a return exceeding 17.8%. This aligns with a confidence in its strategic direction, supported by a market expectation of future profitability and revenue growth. However, the company's current challenges in achieving set earnings targets might influence its valuation. Given the company's recent share price of US$352.67, the movement aligns with analysts' forecasts, suggesting a potential appreciation toward the consensus price target of US$435.17. This target implies a 19% upside potential, contingent on meeting aggressive revenue and earnings forecasts. The integration benefits and market expansion possibilities could drive meeting this target, assuming effective management of risks associated with acquisitions and market complexities. The company's current valuation seems high, with its Price-To-Sales ratio exceeding industry norms, highlighting the importance of realizing expected financial improvements.

CyberArk Announces Strong First 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2025. 'CyberArk delivered a strong start to 2025, highlighting the power of our unified platform and the durability of our business model,' said Matt Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of CyberArk. 'In Q1, total ARR reached $1.215 billion, driven by robust net new ARR of $46 million. Our consistent execution and ongoing innovation fueled strong top-line growth, while we continue to scale profitably — achieving an 18% non-GAAP operating margin and generating $96 million in free cash flow.' 'Our first quarter performance shows we continue to operate in a resilient demand environment. Identity security is a top priority for organizations, and customers are accelerating their roadmaps while consolidating spend on CyberArk's platform to drive security outcomes and operational efficiency. We are particularly pleased with the success of our machine identity business, with strong contributions from both Venafi and our Secrets Management solutions, showing we are delivering transformational value across all types of identities.' 'We're living in an exponential era: threats are accelerating, and the number of identities and privileges is multiplying across every enterprise. Human privileges have proliferated beyond traditional roles, machine identities now outnumber humans by more than 80-to-1, and AI agents are emerging as a new, rapidly growing identity group. These realities underscore why identity security is not optional — it's foundational. With the acquisition of Zilla Security and continued product innovation, CyberArk remains uniquely positioned as the only platform designed to discover, govern, provision, and enforce security controls across every identity — human, machine, and AI. With our first quarter performance, we are set up to deliver against our growth, profitability and free cash flow targets in 2025.' Financial Summary for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 The financial results for the first 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. Total revenue was $317.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, up 43 percent from $221.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. Subscription revenue was $250.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 60 percent from $156.2 million in the first quarter of 2024. Maintenance, professional services and other revenue was $67.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $65.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. GAAP operating loss was $(20.7) million compared to GAAP operating loss of $(6.4) million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating income was $57.5 million, or 18 percent margin, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $33.0 million, or 15 percent margin, in the same period last year.

Non-GAAP net income was $50.3 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $35.9 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Balance Sheet and Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities As of March 31, 2025, cash, cash equivalents, short-term deposits, and marketable securities were $776.1 million. The changes in CyberArk's cash balance reflect approximately $165 million in cash paid for the acquisition of Zilla Security. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $98.5 million, compared to $68.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Subscription portion of ARR was $1.028 billion, or 85 percent of total ARR at March 31, 2025. This represents an increase of 65 percent from $621 million, or 77 percent of total ARR, at March 31, 2024. The Maintenance portion of ARR was $188 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $190 million at March 31, 2024.

(2) (2) KuppingerCole Analysts '2025 Leadership Compass for Enterprise Secrets Management,' by Martin Kuppinger, April 28, 2025. Business Outlook Based on information available as of May 13, 2025, CyberArk is issuing guidance for the second quarter and full year 2025 as indicated below. The guidance for the second quarter and full year 2025 includes the expected contribution from the acquisition of Venafi, which closed on October 1, 2024 and the acquisition of Zilla Security, which closed on February 12, 2025. The comparable periods in 2024 did not include financial contributions from the acquisitions of Venafi and Zilla Security. Second Quarter 2025: Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $312.0 million and $318.0 million. Non-GAAP operating income is expected to be in the range of $41.5 million to $46.5 million. Non-GAAP net income per share is expected to be in the range of $0.74 to $0.81 per diluted share. Assumes 51.5 million weighted average diluted shares. Full Year 2025: Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $1.313 billion to $1.323 billion, representing growth of 31 percent to 32 percent compared to the full year 2024. Non-GAAP operating income is expected to be in the range of $221.0 million to $229.0 million. Non-GAAP net income per share is expected to be in the range of $3.73 to $3.85 per diluted share. Assumes 51.6 million weighted average diluted shares. ARR as of December 31, 2025 is expected to be in the range of $1.410 billion to $1.420 billion, representing growth of 21 percent from December 31, 2024. Adjusted free cash flow is expected to be in the range of $300.0 million to $310.0 million for the full year 2025. Adjusted free cash flow guidance normalizes for a one-time tax payment of $42 million and approximately $15 million in capital expenditures related to our new U.S. headquarters, both of which are discussed below. Tax Payment Related to Transfer of Venafi IP CyberArk's forward-looking guidance for adjusted free cash flow for the full year 2025 excludes the estimated impact of an approximately $42 million one-time tax payment related to the capital gain associated with the intercompany migration of intellectual property related to the Venafi acquisition. We expect this to occur in the second quarter of 2025. This estimated tax payment represents our best estimate of the tax payment related to the IP transfer based on current assumptions and information available. The final tax liability will ultimately be dependent on and could be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, deductions based on our stock price, income recognition and/or deductibility of deferred items, eligibility to and utilization of tax credits and other tax deductions, and intercompany payments in the fiscal year 2025. Capital Expenditures Related to our New U.S. Headquarters CyberArk's forward-looking guidance for adjusted free cash flow for the full year 2025 excludes the estimated capital expenditures of approximately $15 million related to leasehold improvements to our new U.S. headquarters. New Presentation of Revenue Line Items Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, CyberArk is revising 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 Recurring Revenue is defined as revenue derived from SaaS and self-hosted subscription contracts, and maintenance contracts related to perpetual licenses during the reported period. Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) ARR is defined as the annualized value of active SaaS, self-hosted subscriptions and their associated maintenance and support services, and maintenance contracts related to the perpetual licenses in effect at the end of the reported period. Subscription Portion of Annual Recurring Revenue Subscription portion of ARR is defined as the annualized value of active SaaS and self-hosted subscription contracts in effect at the end of the reported period. The subscription portion of ARR excludes maintenance contracts related to perpetual licenses. Maintenance Portion of Annual Recurring Revenue Maintenance portion of ARR is defined as the annualized value of active maintenance contracts related to perpetual licenses. The Maintenance portion of ARR excludes SaaS and self-hosted subscription contracts in effect at the end of the reported period. Net New ARR Net new ARR refers to the difference between ARR as of March 31, 2025 and ARR as of December 31, 2024. 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 or net cash provided by operating activities or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP gross profit is calculated as GAAP gross profit excluding share-based compensation expense, and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions. Non-GAAP operating expense is calculated as GAAP operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expense, acquisition related expenses, and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions. Non-GAAP operating income is calculated as GAAP operating loss excluding share-based compensation expense, acquisition related expenses, and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions. Non-GAAP net income is calculated as GAAP net income excluding share-based compensation expense, acquisition related expenses, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs and tax adjustments. Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less purchase of property and equipment and other assets, and capitalized internal-use software. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow plus one-time tax payment on the capital gain from the intercompany migration of intellectual property (IP) related to the Venafi acquisition and capital expenditures related to our new U.S. headquarters. 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 cost, 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, and 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 expenses related to its acquisitions, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, 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, and capital expenditures related to our new U.S. headquarters 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. Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes, as applicable, share-based compensation expense, acquisition related expenses, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, tax adjustments, purchase of property and equipment and other assets, one-time tax payment on the capital gain from the intercompany migration of intellectual property, and capital expenditures related to our new U.S. headquarters. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability and significance of, the amounts of share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, and the non-recurring expenses that are excluded from the guidance, as well as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, which impact other GAAP performance metrics or liquidity measures. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures for future periods is not available without unreasonable effort.

(4) Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, we will utilize a fixed projected non-GAAP tax rate in 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 historic 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%. The tax adjustments for the first quarter of 2024 include income tax adjustments related to non-GAAP items. Expand

We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ:CYBR) stands against other billionaire George Soros' mid-cap Stocks with huge upside potential. George Soros is one of the most successful investors in the stock market's history. He founded the Soros Fund Management, which currently manages over $6.6 billion in assets. His fund often makes contrarian moves that catch the attention of Wall Street and retail investors alike. Alex Soros, one of George Soros' sons from his second marriage, was handed over the reins in 2023. When investors like George Soros invest in companies, they usually have solid reasons to do so. This is why keeping an eye on their holdings is so important. We decided to take a look at George Soros' Mid-Cap stock holdings to see what mid-cap stocks he is betting on. To come up with our list of billionaire George Soros' 10 Mid-Cap stocks with huge upside potential, we first looked at his top 50 stock holdings. We then filtered out the companies between $10 billion and $40 billion in market cap. After arriving at his top mid-cap holdings list, we then looked at the median analyst price targets on those stocks and then ranked them by their upside potential. We have also mentioned the hedge fund sentiment as per Insider Monkey's database of Q4 2024. Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (). A data center with a repetetive design of computer servers, showing the companies' efficient and secure IT infrastructure. Soros Fund Management's Stake Value: $46.7 Million Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 57 CyberArk Software Ltd. operates as a marketer, developer, and seller of software-based identity security solutions and services. The company's solutions consist of Remote Access, Secure Infrastructure Access, Privileged Access Manager and Privilege Cloud, Endpoint Privilege Manager, and Secure Desktop. According to the median analyst price target, the stock still has an upside of 42.22%. Recently, CyberArk was in the spotlight after investment firm Jefferies maintained its Buy rating and price target of $351 on it. Analyst Joseph Gallo highlighted the company's strong position and considered its Venafi platform a market leader in machine identity. Analysts believe Venafi has significant growth potential. Analyst Joseph Gallo stated: 'We hosted a machine identity consultant to gauge CYBR's Venafi opportunity, the expert views Venafi in a leadership position & has confidence in its growth [re-acceleration] potential (was only growing 10% [year-over-year] when acquired). While other identity vendors will certainly have a right to win some share in machine identity, we gained incremental confidence in Venafi's tech moat & CYBR's ability to turbocharge growth.' Needham showed a similar sentiment on the stock by recommending it as its top pick last month. The firm maintained its Buy rating on the stock, citing the transformative impact of the Venafi acquisition and strong demand for Privileged Access Management (PAM). Needham also maintained its price target of $480 on the company's shares. Overall, CYBR ranks 6th on our list of billionaire George Soros' mid-cap Stocks with huge upside potential. While we acknowledge the potential of CYBR as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.

Jefferies Sees Big Upside in CyberArk's Venafi from Cloud-Ready Integrations
CyberArk Software (NASDAQ:CYBR) is getting fresh attention this week after Jefferies highlighted its Venafi platform as a frontrunner in the growing machine identity market. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Signs with CYBR. In a new note, analyst Joseph Gallo said the firm spoke with a machine identity consultant who sees Venafi as a strong leader, even though it was only growing at about 10% year over year when CyberArk acquired it. The expert, Gallo noted, believes the platform is well positioned to pick up speed under CyberArk's ownership. Gallo is sticking with a Buy rating on the stock and kept his $351 price target in place. One key reason for Venafi's edge, according to the expert, is its large number of integrationsbuilt over several yearswhich serve as a major competitive barrier. It's also designed to work across multiple cloud platforms, something that gives it a leg up over rivals. If just 10% of CyberArk's roughly 8,500 customers adopt Venafi, Gallo estimates it could add around $85 million in recurring revenuea number he calls very reasonable.
