We also delivered record operating and free cash flow for both the quarter and year. Our record results showcase the durability of our growth and cash flow generation. As enterprises rapidly adopt AI, CrowdStrike is mission-critical infrastructure – securing AI across every layer from GPU to agent to prompt. The AI revolution is creating a massive growth opportunity for CrowdStrike, one that our technology, team, and ecosystem are well positioned to continue winning.”
