CrowdStrike is projecting revenue for the fiscal first quarter ending April 30 of $287.8 million to $292.1 million, with non-GAAP profits of 5 cents to 6 cents a share. That’s above the old Street consensus at $267.9 million and 4 cents a share.
For the January 2022 fiscal year, the company sees revenue of $1.31 billion to $1.32 billion, up about 50% at the midpoint of the range, with non-GAAP profits of 27 cents to 30 cents a share; previous consensus called for $1.22 billion and non-GAAP profits of 28 cents a share.
“CrowdStrike delivered a record fourth quarter and an exceptional finish to a strong fiscal year,” CEO George Kurtz said in a statement. “Combined with strong secular tailwinds, including digital transformation and an unprecedented threat environment, and our expanding technology portfolio, which now includes leading index-free data ingestion capabilities, we believe we are in an ideal position to further extend our leadership in the Security Cloud category we pioneered.”
CrowdStrike in late trading is up 6.5%, to $209.
