Q1 2025 Rubrik Infographic (Graphic: Rubrik)
"Rubrik is a leader in one of the fastest growing new segments in the cybersecurity market, data security, with a total addressable market of about $53 billion by 2027*. The explosion of data especially with AI is creating a massive market opportunity for Rubrik. The value we bring to our customers has resulted in subscription annual recurring revenue up 46% year over year in Q1 to $856 million. While we are excited and proud of all the team has done to date, we are in the very early innings of data security and look forward to continuing to build an enduring company," said Bipul Sinha, Rubrik's Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, and Co-Founder.
Commenting on the Company's financial results, Kiran Choudary, Rubrik's Chief Financial Officer, added, "We are pleased by the strong start to the year in Q1 with strength in large transactions driving net new Subscription ARR of $72 million, up 32% year over year and Subscription ARR Contribution Margin up over 2,100 basis points year over year. We are confident in our ability to deliver strong growth in Subscription ARR and continued operating leverage towards our long-term financial model."
First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Highlights
Recent Business Highlights
Second Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook
Rubrik is providing the following guidance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 and the full fiscal year 2025:
Additional information on Rubrik's reported results, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to their most comparable GAAP measures, is included in the financial tables below. A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of expenses that may be incurred in the future, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to Rubrik's results computed in accordance with GAAP. For example, stock-based compensation-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions, are impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions, the future fair market value of Rubrik's Class A common stock, and Rubrik's future hiring and retention needs, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change.
Conference Call Information
Rubrik will host a conference call to discuss results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, as well as its financial outlook for the fiscal second quarter and fiscal year 2025 today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time / 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and the related conference call contain express and implied "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding Rubrik's financial outlook for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 and full fiscal year 2025, Rubrik's market position, market opportunities, and growth strategy, product initiatives, go-to-market motions and market trends. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "project," "will," "would," "should," "could," "can," "predict," "potential," "target," "explore," "continue," "outlook," "guidance," or the negative of these terms, where applicable, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties and risks, including factors beyond Rubrik's control, that could cause actual results, performance or achievement to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the statements. Risks include but are not limited to Rubrik's limited operating history, the growth rate of the market in which Rubrik competes, Rubrik's ability to effectively manage and sustain its growth, Rubrik's ability to introduce new products on top of its platform, Rubrik's ability to compete with existing competitors and new market entrants, Rubrik's ability to expand internationally and its ability to utilize AI successfully in its current and future products. Additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements are included under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Rubrik's final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b), dated April 24, 2024. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made and are based on information available to Rubrik at the time those statements are made and/or management's good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events. Rubrik assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Rubrik has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Rubrik uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Rubrik's financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with Rubrik's condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Rubrik's historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.
Free Cash Flow. Rubrik defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. Rubrik believes free cash flow is a helpful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated or used by Rubrik's operations that, after the investments in property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software, can be used for strategic initiatives, including investing in Rubrik's business and strengthening its financial position. One limitation of free cash flow is that it does not reflect Rubrik's future contractual commitments. Additionally, free cash flow is not a substitute for cash used in operating activities and the utility of free cash flow as a measure of Rubrik's liquidity is further limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in Rubrik's cash balance for a given period.
Non-GAAP Subscription Cost of Revenue. Rubrik defines non-GAAP subscription cost of revenue as subscription cost of revenue, adjusted for amortization of acquired intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, and stock-based compensation from amortization of capitalized internal-use software.
Non-GAAP Operating Expenses (Research and Development, Sales and Marketing, General and Administrative). Rubrik defines non-GAAP operating expenses as operating expenses (research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative), adjusted for, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense.
Subscription Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR") Contribution Margin. Rubrik defines Subscription ARR Contribution Margin as Subscription ARR contribution divided by Subscription ARR at the end of the period. Rubrik defines Subscription ARR Contribution as Subscription ARR at the end of the period less: (i) non-GAAP subscription cost of revenue and (ii) non-GAAP operating expenses for the prior 12-month period ending on that date. Rubrik believes that Subscription ARR Contribution Margin is a helpful indicator of operating leverage. One limitation of Subscription ARR Contribution Margin is that the factors that impact Subscription ARR will vary from those that impact subscription revenue and, as such, may not provide an accurate indication of Rubrik's actual or future GAAP results. Additionally, the historical expenses in this calculation may not accurately reflect the costs associated with future commitments.
Key Business Metrics
Subscription ARR. Rubrik calculates Subscription ARR as the annualized value of our active subscription contracts as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on existing terms. Subscription contracts include cloud-based contracts for Rubrik's subscription offerings and products sold on top of its Rubrik Security Cloud ("RSC") platform, prior sales of CDM sold as a subscription term-based license with associated support, and standalone sales of Rubrik's SaaS subscription products like Anomaly Detection (previously known as Ransomware Monitoring & Investigation) and Sensitive Data Monitoring (previously known as Sensitive Data Monitoring & Management).
Cloud ARR. Rubrik calculates Cloud ARR as the annualized value of its active cloud-based subscription contracts as of the measurement date, based on Rubrik's customers' total contract value and, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on existing terms. Rubrik's cloud-based subscription contracts include RSC and RSC-Government (excluding RSC-Private) and SaaS subscription products like Ransomware Monitoring & Investigation (now known as Anomaly Detection) and Sensitive Data Monitoring & Management (now known as Sensitive Data Monitoring).
Average Subscription Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate. Rubrik calculates Average Subscription Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate by first identifying subscription customers ("Prior Period Subscription Customers") which were subscription customers at the end of a particular quarter (the "Prior Period"). Rubrik then calculates the Subscription ARR from these Prior Period Subscription Customers at the end of the same quarter of the subsequent year (the "Current Period"). This calculation captures upsells, contraction, and attrition since the Prior Period. Rubrik then divides total Current Period Subscription ARR by the total Prior Period Subscription ARR for Prior Period Subscription Customers. Rubrik's Average Subscription Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate in a particular quarter is obtained by averaging the result from that particular quarter with the corresponding results from each of the prior three quarters.
Customers with $100K or More in Subscription ARR. Customers with $100K or more in Subscription ARR represent the number of customers that contributed $100,000 or more in Subscription ARR as of period end.
