CrowdStrike (CRWD) Reports Q1 Earnings: What Key Metrics Have to Say


CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) reported $1.1 billion in revenue for the quarter ended April 2025, representing a year-over-year increase of 19.8%. EPS of $0.73 for the same period compares to $0.93 a year ago.

The reported revenue represents a surprise of -0.10% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.1 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $0.66, the EPS surprise was +10.61%.

While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.

Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.

Here is how CrowdStrike performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:

  • Annual recurring revenue (ARR): $4,435,596 versus the seven-analyst average estimate of $4,414,212.
  • Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO): $6.8 billion compared to the $6.07 billion average estimate based on two analysts.
