Qualys (QLYS) Form 4: CEO & President Sumedh S. Thakar reported an administrative share withholding on 1-Aug-2025 (Transaction Code F).
- Shares withheld: 6,042 common shares
- Implied price: $130.53 per share (≈ $0.79 million)
- Reason: To satisfy tax obligations related to vesting RSUs (per footnote 1)
- Post-transaction holding: 209,920 shares held directly
This was not an open-market sale and does not alter Thakar’s economic exposure. Such tax-related withholdings are routine and typically carry neutral-to-slightly-negative sentiment only because the share count in public float rises modestly.
Qualys (QLYS) posted solid but decelerating growth for Q2-25. Revenue rose 10.3% YoY to $164.1 M, keeping gross margin at 82.4%. Operating income increased 6.9% to $51.4 M, trimming operating margin to 31.4% (-90 bps). Net income advanced 8% to $47.3 M; diluted EPS reached $1.29 (+10.3% YoY) on a 2.5% lower diluted share count.
Cash & liquidity remain strong. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totalled $621.2 M, up 8% since year-end, despite $89.5 M of share buybacks that reduced outstanding shares to 36.1 M. Operating cash flow grew 6% to $143.4 M YTD; capex was modest at $3.4 M. The company still has $254.6 M left under its $1.4 B cumulative repurchase authorisation.
- Deferred revenue slipped 5.4% vs. Dec-24 to $374.2 M, hinting at softer bookings.
- Expenses: R&D +11.5%, S&M +11.4%, G&A +18.4% YoY; opex growth outpaced revenue, pressuring margins.
- Comprehensive income was reduced by a $4.2 M hedge-related OCI loss.
Overall, Qualys remains highly profitable with robust cash generation, but slower billings momentum and rising costs warrant monitoring.
