Netskope Announces Strong Fiscal First Quarter 2027 Financial Results

• Annual Recurring Revenue increased 29% year-over-year to $845 million
• Q1 revenue increased 28% year-over-year to $202 million

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – June 3, 2026 – Netskope, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTSK) a leader in modern security and networking for the cloud and AI era, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 ended April 30, 2026.

“We started fiscal year 2027 with strong ARR growth of 29% year-over-year, a testament to the critical role Netskope plays in securing the modern enterprise,” said Sanjay Beri, CEO of Netskope. “The rise of AI is exponentially increasing the pace and potency of attacks and the misuse of sensitive data, while most organizations deploying agents have little or no policy controls in place to do so securely. This is the era that Netskope was built for. Our fundamental right to win is rooted in the AI-native fabric of our extensive Netskope One platform, providing the semantic intent and context needed to secure broad AI usage including autonomous agents at scale. Netskope is empowering our customers to close the AI Security Gap without compromising performance. This deep technological moat differentiates us from our competitors and has strongly positioned us for the massive market opportunity created by the AI Supercycle.”

The initial launch includes six agents:

  • Netskope Private Access AIOps Agent
  • Netskope DEM Data Intelligence Agent
  • Netskope DEM Insights Agent
  • Netskope CCI Insights Agent

Deloitte will leverage Netskope technology to provide managed SASE capabilities to enterprises seeking to transform their infrastructure, modernize security and networking, and drive secure AI adoption.

We also announced new and expanded collaborations across AI security:

• Joining Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, using Anthropic’s most advanced AI model, Claude Mythos, to find vulnerabilities in code at unprecedented speed and scale while working together to secure and defend organizations at AI speed.
• Integrating with Anthropic’s Compliance API, which enables organizations to build security directly into their Claude workflows. By surfacing Claude activity within the Netskope One Platform, organizations can govern Claude using the same risk frameworks, DLP profiles, and compliance controls they already operate, without adding operational overhead.
• Participating in OpenAI’s Trusted Access for Cyber program, which includes access to GPT-5.5-Cyber in limited preview. We view this as a vital force multiplier that turns AI potential into immediate operational impact, accelerating time from  novel attack behavior to stronger protections for the thousands of enterprises that rely on Netskope today.

The new solution uses Netskope One AI Guardrails to enable enterprise deployment of high-performance generative AI and autonomous agentic workflows at scale on Google Cloud.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP financial measures, this press release includes non-GAAP financial measures that we use to evaluate our business performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, free cash flow and free cash flow margin, and their respective definitions are presented below.

There are limitations to the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Our management believes that our non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and income that may not be indicative of our ongoing core operating performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when analyzing historical performance and liquidity and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented for historical periods to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information” included at the end of this press release. We encourage you to review the reconciliation in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future periods, we may exclude similar items, may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items and may include other expenses, costs and non-recurring items.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin

We define non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit excluding stock-based compensation expense and related taxes, and amortization of acquired intangible assets. We define non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

Non-GAAP Loss from Operations and Non-GAAP Operating Margin

We define non-GAAP loss from operations as GAAP loss from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense and related taxes and amortization of acquired intangible assets. We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP loss from operations as a percentage of revenue.

Non-GAAP Net Loss

We define non-GAAP net loss as GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and related taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain or loss on fair value changes in convertible notes, and non-GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes.

Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share

We define non-GAAP net loss per share as GAAP net loss per share adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and related taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain or loss on fair value changes in convertible notes, and non-GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchase of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. Free cash flow margin is determined by dividing free cash flow by revenue. We believe free cash flow and free cash flow margin serve as valuable indicators of liquidity, as it provides our management, board of directors, and investors with insight into our ability to generate cash from our operations, strategic initiatives, and strengthening our balance sheet.

ARR

We define ARR as the annualized value of our cloud subscription contracts that are active as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on its existing terms. Provided that we are actively negotiating a renewal or new agreement with a customer after the expiration of a contract, we continue to include that contract’s annualized value in ARR until the customer notifies us of their decision not to renew. ARR excludes non-recurring components of revenue such as professional services, training, sales of hardware, and other non-recurring revenue.
