Zscaler's fourth-quarter results saw record-high calculated billings, driven by strong sales in its AI security product line. The company's Q4 calculated billings increased by 32% year-over-year, reaching $1,202.3 million. Total revenue for the quarter grew 21% to $719.2 million, with annual recurring revenue reaching $3.015 billion, a 22% increase.
Zscaler's strategic moves include issuing $1.725 billion in convertible notes due in 2028 and using a portion to repay $1.15 billion in notes due in 2025. The acquisition of Red Canary enhances Zscaler's AI-driven threat intelligence, improving its Security Operations Centre offerings. These advancements in AI security solutions address emerging risks associated with AI models and applications.
Despite these gains, Zscaler reported a GAAP net loss of $17.6 million, compared to a $14.9 million loss in the same quarter last year. However, non-GAAP net income rose 27% to $146.7 million. The company's strong financial performance and strategic AI investments position it for continued growth in the cybersecurity market.
