Netskope, a leading provider of cloud security and networking solutions, has reported record-breaking financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026. According to the company's recent conference call transcript, Netskope exceeded guidance across all key metrics, driven by strong global execution and a focus on delivering a market-leading platform for networking, security, and analytics in the modern world of cloud and AI.
Key highlights from the quarter include record net new Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of $57 million, ending ARR of $811 million representing true organic growth of 31% year-over-year, and revenue growing 32% year-over-year to $196 million.

Netskope's CEO and co-founder Sanjay Beri emphasized the company's focus on delivering a unified AI native fabric that eliminates the legacy trade-off between performance and security. He highlighted four pillars of Netskope's AI strategic framework, which demonstrate why the company is uniquely positioned as a significant beneficiary of the AI super cycle.
The first pillar is Netskope's AI native platform with sovereignty and privacy by design. Beri noted that since its inception, the company has leveraged and integrated AI as foundational across its platform, using shallow and deep learning, and further augmenting these capabilities with generative AI models to deliver maximum impact for customers.
Netskope's strong execution and innovative approach have driven a 5 percentage point improvement in operating margin in Q4 and an 18 percentage point improvement for the full fiscal year 2026. The company also saw a strong mix of both new logo growth and customer expansion across key verticals and geographies, with customers solving key use cases through the adoption of Netskope's One platform of 25 security, networking, analytics, and AI products.
As reported by Beri, the average number of products per customer increased to 4.4, reflecting a growing demand for integrated cloud security and networking solutions. The company's net retention rate remained high at 116%, with 22% growth in customers with over $100,000 in ARR year-over-year.
Netskope's CFO Drew Del Matto will provide more color on the company's Q4 and full year fiscal 2026 financials in a future call. However, it is clear that Netskope has hit record highs in its recent earnings report, driven by its strong execution and innovative approach to cloud security and networking.
