On profitability, non-GAAP operating income reached $325.81 million at a 25% margin, while free cash flow hit $376.36 million for the quarter. Looking ahead, CrowdStrike guided full-year FY27 revenue of $5.87 billion to $5.93 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $4.78 to $4.90, with management pointing to a record Q1 pipeline as evidence of sustained momentum heading into the new fiscal year.
