Insights

PANW delivered strong Q4 results with 16% revenue growth and 32% Next-Gen Security ARR growth, showing platform strategy success.

Palo Alto Networks delivered robust financial results for Q4 and FY2025, with quarterly revenue reaching $2.5 billion (up 16% YoY) and annual revenue hitting $9.2 billion (up 15% YoY). The company's strategic focus on its platform approach is clearly paying dividends, with Next-Generation Security ARR growing an impressive 32% YoY to $5.6 billion.

The remaining performance obligation (RPO) metric is particularly noteworthy, increasing 24% YoY to $15.8 billion, indicating strong future revenue visibility. This acceleration in RPO growth suggests the company's sales pipeline remains robust despite broader market uncertainty.

On profitability, PANW reported non-GAAP net income of $673 million ($0.95 per diluted share), representing a substantial 29% increase from the $522.2 million ($0.75 per diluted share) reported in Q4 FY2024. However, GAAP net income declined to $253.8 million from $357.7 million a year earlier, likely due to increased expenses related to share-based compensation and acquisition-related costs.

Looking ahead, management provided solid guidance for FY2026, projecting total revenue between $10.475-$10.525 billion (approximately 14% growth) and Next-Generation Security ARR of $7.0-$7.1 billion (representing 26-27% growth). The projected non-GAAP operating margin of 29.2-29.7% and adjusted free cash flow margin of 38.0-39.0% demonstrate the company's continued focus on balancing growth with profitability.

The company's achievement of "Rule-of-50" status (the sum of revenue growth rate and free cash flow margin exceeding 50) for the fifth consecutive year underscores its operational excellence in the competitive cybersecurity market. This combination of double-digit growth and strong margin expansion positions PANW favorably against competitors and suggests the company's platform strategy is resonating with customers seeking consolidated security solutions rather than fragmented point products.

  • Fiscal fourth quarter revenue grew 16% year over year to $2.5 billion. Fiscal year 2025 revenue grew 15% year over year to $9.2 billion.
  • Next-Generation Security ARR grew 32% year over year to $5.6 billion.
  • Remaining performance obligation grew 24% year over year to $15.8 billion.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks® (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, announced today financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year, ended July 31, 2025.

Total revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 grew 16%year over year to $2.5 billion, compared with total revenue of $2.2 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter 2024. GAAP net income for the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 was $253.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $357.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the fiscal fourth quarter 2024.

Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 was $673.0 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $522.2 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the fiscal fourth quarter 2024. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the tables below.

"Our strong execution in Q4 reflects a fundamental market shift in which customers understand that a fragmented defense is no defense at all against modern threats. They are partnering with us because our platforms are designed to work in concert, creating powerful operational synergies that deliver superior, near real-time outcomes and the efficiency our customers need," said Nikesh Arora, chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks. "We exited fiscal year 2025 with an acceleration in RPO, and surpassed the $10 billion revenue run-rate milestone, positioning ourselves well for sustained growth ahead."

"Our strong top-line results were complemented by continued operating efficiency and strong free cash flow generation, making us a 'Rule-of-50' company for the fifth consecutive year," said Dipak Golechha, chief financial officer of Palo Alto Networks. "We are excited to carry this momentum into fiscal year 2026, where we will continue to execute against our profitable growth framework."

Financial Outlook

Palo Alto Networks provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations.

For the fiscal first quarter 2026, we expect:

  • Next-Generation Security ARR of $5.82 billion to $5.84 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 29%.
  • Remaining performance obligation of $15.4 billion to $15.5 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 23%.
  • Total revenue in the range of $2.45 billion to $2.47 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 15%.
  • Diluted non-GAAP net income per share in the range of $0.88 to $0.90, using 709 million to 712 million shares outstanding.

For the fiscal year 2026, we expect:

  • Next-Generation Security ARR of $7.00 billion to $7.10 billion, representing year-over-year growth of between 26% and 27%.
  • Remaining performance obligation of $18.6 billion to $18.7 billion, representing year-over-year growth of between 17% and 18%.
  • Total revenue in the range of $10.475 billion to $10.525 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 14%.
  • Non-GAAP operating margin in the range of 29.2% to 29.7%.
  • Diluted non-GAAP net income per share in the range of $3.75 to $3.85, using 710 million to 716 million shares outstanding.
  • Adjusted free cash flow margin in the range of 38.0% to 39.0%.

Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes share-based compensation-related charges, including share-based payroll tax expense, acquisition-related costs, including change in fair value of contingent consideration liability, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, litigation-related charges, including legal settlements, non-cash charges related to convertible notes, and income tax and other tax adjustments related to our long-term non-GAAP effective tax rate, along with certain non-recurring expenses and certain non-recurring cash flows. We have not reconciled non-GAAP operating margin guidance to GAAP operating margin, diluted non-GAAP net income per share guidance to GAAP net income per diluted share or adjusted free cash flow margin guidance to GAAP net cash from operating activities because we do not provide guidance on GAAP operating margin, GAAP net income or net cash from operating activities and would not be able to present the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures because certain items that impact these measures are uncertain or out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including share-based compensation expense, without unreasonable effort. The actual amounts of such reconciling items will have a significant impact on the company's GAAP net income per diluted share and GAAP net cash from operating activities.

For additional risks and uncertainties on these and other factors that could affect our financial results and cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements we make in this press release are included under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 21, 2025, which is available on our website at and on the SEC's website at . Additional information will also be set forth in other documents that we file with or furnish to the SEC from time to time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics

Palo Alto Networks has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The company uses these non-GAAP financial measures and other key metrics internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics are helpful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing the company's financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures or key metrics.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the company's historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review these reconciliations.

Non-GAAP net income and net income per share, diluted.Palo Alto Networks defines non-GAAP net income as net income plus share-based compensation-related charges, including share-based payroll tax expense, acquisition-related costs, including change in fair value of contingent consideration liability, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, litigation-related charges, including legal settlements, and non-cash charges related to convertible notes. The company also excludes from non-GAAP net income tax adjustments related to our long-term non-GAAP effective tax rate in order to provide a complete picture of the company's recurring core business operating results. The company defines non-GAAP net income per share, diluted, as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding, which includes the potentially dilutive effect of the company's employee equity incentive plan awards and the company's convertible senior notes and related warrants, after giving effect to the anti-dilutive impact of the company's note hedge agreements, which reduced the potential economic dilution that otherwise would have occurred in connection with the conversion and settlement of the company's convertible senior notes. Under GAAP, the anti-dilutive impact of the note hedge is not reflected in diluted shares outstanding. The company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors for the same reasons that it uses non-GAAP operating margin.

Next-Generation Security ARR.Palo Alto Networks defines Next-Generation Security ARR as the annualized allocated revenue of all active contracts as of the final day of the reporting period related to all product, subscription and support offerings, excluding revenue from hardware products, and legacy attached subscriptions, support offerings and professional services. The company considers Next-Generation Security ARR to be a useful operating metric for management and investors to assess the performance of the company because Next-Generation Security is where the company has focused its innovation and the company expects its overall revenue to be disproportionately driven by this Next-Generation Security portfolio. Because Next-Generation Security ARR does not have the effect of providing a numerical measure that is different from any comparable GAAP measure, the company does not consider it a non-GAAP measure.

Investors are cautioned that there are a number of limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics as analytical tools. Many of the adjustments to the company's GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in the company's financial results for the foreseeable future, such as share-based compensation, which is an important part of Palo Alto Networks' employees' compensation and impacts their performance. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP, and the components that Palo Alto Networks excludes in its calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP results of operations. Palo Alto Networks compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures. In the future, the company may also exclude non-recurring expenses and other expenses that do not reflect the company's core business operating results.
