CrowdStrike Soars: Breaking Records and Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity
CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity software company, has just announced its impressive Q3 2025 financial results. The company's CEO, George Kurtz, took to the conference call stage to share his enthusiasm for CrowdStrike's latest achievements.
One of the key highlights from this quarter is the remarkable growth in ending Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). With a staggering 27% year-over-year increase, CrowdStrike has surpassed $4 billion in ending ARR. This milestone makes the company the fastest pure-play cybersecurity software company to achieve this feat, and it's well on track to reach its vision of $10 billion ARR.
Q3 revenue also broke new ground, with subscription revenue growing a whopping 31% year-over-year. Total revenue exceeded $1 billion for the first time in CrowdStrike's history, solidifying the company's position as a leader in the cybersecurity market.
"Trust, platform adoption, and trailblazing innovation are guiding principles that drive our customer obsession and continued strong execution," said George Kurtz during the conference call. "The themes of trust, platform adoption, and innovation guide CrowdStrike's customer obsession and continued strong execution."
CrowdStrike's commitment to innovation is evident in its expanding product portfolio. The company recently announced the acquisition of Adaptive Shield, adding SaaS posture management capabilities to its Cloud Security Suite and Identity Protection offerings. This strategic move further differentiates the Falcon platform and solidifies CrowdStrike's position as a pioneering force in AI-powered cybersecurity.
The Q3 results also reflect CrowdStrike's ability to retain customers amidst challenging market conditions. With over 97% gross retention rates, Falcon customers are staying committed to the company's trusted cybersecurity platform of choice. Dollar-based net retention was an impressive 115%, with some temporary impact from a recent incident reflecting customers' strengthened commitment to CrowdStrike.
"We responded with speed, care, and resolve," George Kurtz noted during the call, referring to the company's response to a summer incident. "We focused on becoming even better, continuing to deliver industry-leading cyber protection on the Falcon platform's proven, resilient, and scaled AI native architecture."
As CrowdStrike continues to break records and shape the future of cybersecurity, its commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction, and strategic growth positions it as a market leader for years to come.
