Varonis Systems reported strong first-quarter 2026 results as it continues shifting to SaaS. Total revenue reached $173.1 million, up from $136.4 million a year earlier, driven by SaaS revenue of $161.1 million versus $88.6 million in 2025.

SaaS ARR was $683.2 million, up 69% year-over-year, or 29% excluding conversions. The company still posted a GAAP net loss of $36.9 million, but generated non-GAAP net income of $7.5 million and free cash flow of $49.0 million.

Varonis ended the quarter with $899.5 million in cash, equivalents, deposits and marketable securities, repurchased about 5.36 million shares for $132.1 million, and raised full-year 2026 guidance for SaaS ARR growth to 27%–32% and revenue to $731.0–$737.0 million.

Positive

  • SaaS-driven growth and guidance raise: Q1 2026 SaaS ARR reached $683.2 million, up 69% year-over-year, helping lift full-year 2026 SaaS ARR growth guidance to 27%–32% and revenue guidance to $731.0–$737.0 million.
  • Improving profitability and strong cash generation: Non-GAAP net income rose to $7.5 million from $0.7 million, free cash flow was $49.0 million, and adjusted free cash flow was $61.6 million, while the company still holds $899.5 million in cash and investments.

Negative

  • Ongoing GAAP losses and higher operating costs: GAAP operating loss was $44.5 million and net loss $36.9 million, while total operating expenses increased to $176.0 million from $151.2 million year-over-year, reflecting continued heavy investment and stock-based compensation.

Insights

Varonis is growing SaaS rapidly, turning non-GAAP profitable and boosting 2026 guidance.

Varonis posted Q1 2026 revenue of $173.1M, up from $136.4M, with SaaS revenue of $161.1M. SaaS ARR reached $683.2M, up 69% year-over-year, showing strong adoption of its cloud-based data and AI security platform.

SaaS ARR financial
"SaaS ARR, was $683.2 million as of the end of the first quarter, up 69% year-over-year"
SaaS ARR is the annualized amount of predictable subscription revenue a software company expects to collect from its customers for cloud-hosted services. Think of it as the steady yearly rent from users: it strips out one-time fees and short-term spikes to show the baseline, recurring cash flow investors use to judge growth, customer health and the likely future value of the business.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
non-GAAP operating loss financial
"Non-GAAP operating loss was ($1.4) million, compared to non-GAAP operating loss of ($6.5) million"
convertible senior notes financial
"Amortization of debt issuance costs, which relate to the Company’s convertible senior notes issued in 2020 and 2024"
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.
annual recurring revenue financial
"SaaS ARR is a key performance indicator defined as the annualized value of active SaaS contracts"
Annual recurring revenue is the predictable amount of money a company expects to earn each year from ongoing customer subscriptions or contracts. It helps businesses understand how much steady income they can count on, much like a subscription service that charges customers every month or year. This figure is important because it shows the company's stability and growth potential.
Revenue $173.1 million vs $136.4 million in Q1 2025
SaaS ARR $683.2 million up 69% year-over-year
GAAP net loss $36.9 million vs $35.8 million in Q1 2025
Non-GAAP net income $7.5 million vs $0.7 million in Q1 2025
Guidance

For full year 2026, Varonis expects SaaS ARR of $814.0–$845.0 million (27%–32% growth), revenue of $731.0–$737.0 million (17%–18% growth), free cash flow of $100.0–$105.0 million, and non-GAAP operating income of $7.0–$9.0 million.

Conference Call and Webcast
Varonis will host a conference call today, Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, to discuss the Company's first quarter 2026 financial results. To access this call, dial 877-425-9470 (domestic) or 201-389-0878 (international). The passcode is 13759886. A replay of this conference call will be available through May 12, 2026 at 844-512-2921 (domestic) or 412-317-6671 (international). The replay passcode is 13759886. A live webcast of this conference call will be available on the "Investors" page of the Company's website (www.varonis.com), and a replay will be archived on the website as well.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
Varonis believes that the use of non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) is helpful to our investors. These measures, which the Company refers to as our non-GAAP financial measures, are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is calculated as operating income (loss) excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, and (iii) amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related expenses.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) is calculated as net income (loss) excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, (iii) amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related expenses, (iv) foreign exchange gains (losses) which include exchange rate differences on lease contracts as a result of the implementation of ASC 842, (v) amortization of debt issuance costs and (vi) acquisition-related taxes.

The Company believes that the exclusion of these expenses provides a more meaningful comparison of our operational performance from period to period and offers investors and management greater visibility to the underlying performance of our business. Specifically:

  • Stock-based compensation expenses utilize varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and a variety of equity instruments that can impact a company's non-cash expenses;
  • Payroll taxes are tied to the exercise or vesting of underlying equity awards and the price of our common stock at the time of vesting or exercise, factors which may vary from period to period;
  • Acquired intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over an estimated useful life after the acquisition, and acquisition-related expenses are unrelated to current operations and neither are comparable to the prior period nor predictive of future results;
  • The Company incurs foreign exchange gains or losses from the revaluation of its significant operating lease liabilities in foreign currencies as well as other assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. dollars, which may vary from period to period;
  • Amortization of debt issuance costs, which relate to the Company’s convertible senior notes issued in 2020 and 2024, are a non-cash item; and
  • Acquisition-related taxes are unrelated to current operations and neither are comparable to the prior period nor predictive of future results.

Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as free cash flow excluding cash paid for acquisition-related costs. We believe that free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful indicators of liquidity that provide information to management and investors about the amount of cash provided by or used in our operations that, after adjusting for the investments in property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software and acquisition-related costs, can be used for strategic initiatives.

Each of our non-GAAP financial measures is an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating our own operating results over different periods of time. The non-GAAP financial measures do not represent our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss) or net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. Further, stock-based compensation expense and payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring expenses in our business and an important part of the compensation provided to our employees. Also, the amortization of intangible assets are expected recurring expenses over the estimated useful life of the underlying intangible asset and acquisition-related expenses will be incurred to the extent acquisitions are made in the future and acquisition-related taxes may be incurred to the extent acquisitions are made in the future. Additionally, foreign exchange rates may fluctuate from one period to another, and the Company does not estimate movements in foreign currencies. Finally, the amortization of debt issuance costs are expected recurring expenses until the maturity of the convertible senior notes in 2029.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Varonis urges investors to review the reconciliation of our historical non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measures to evaluate our business.

A reconciliation for non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), and free cash flow referred to in our “Financial Outlook” is not provided because we do not guide on their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As these are forward-looking statements, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort due to the high variability, complexity, uncertainty and difficulty of estimating certain items such as stock-based compensation and currency fluctuations, which have an impact on our consolidated results. The actual amounts of such reconciling items will have a significant impact on the Company’s most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the information provided is useful to investors because it can be considered in the context of the Company’s historical disclosures of this measure.

SaaS ARR is a key performance indicator defined as the annualized value of active SaaS contracts in effect at the end of that period. Similarly, SaaS ARR excluding conversions is the annualized value of active SaaS contracts excluding the impact of conversions. The contracts are annualized by dividing the total contract value by the number of days in the term and multiplying the result by 365. The annualized value of contracts is a legal and contractual determination made by assessing the contractual terms with our customers. The annualized value of such contracts is not determined by reference to historical revenues, deferred revenues or any other GAAP financial measure over any period. SaaS ARR is not a forecast of future revenues, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains, and statements made during the above referenced conference call will contain, "forward-looking" statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including regarding the Company's growth rate and its expectations regarding future revenues, operating income or loss or earnings or loss per share. These statements are not guarantees of future performance but are based on management's expectations as of the date of this press release and assumptions that are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.

These and other important risk factors are described more fully in Varonis’ reports and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and could cause actual results to vary from expectations. All information provided in this press release and in the conference call is as of the date hereof, and Varonis undertakes no duty to update or revise this information, whether as a result of new information, new developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
