GAAP & Non-GAAP EPS in fourth quarter and full year 2025 benefitted from a tax rate reduction, updated tax provisions and a tax settlement that resulted in a benefit to
GAAP and Non- GAAP EPS. A more detailed explanation is provided in the Financial Highlights Commentary.
|
| • |
GAAP & Non-GAAP EPS: Earnings per diluted shares in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $2.81 and $3.40 for GAAP and Non-GAAP, respectively. This compares to $2.30 and $2.70, respectively in the
fourth quarter of 2024. Tax rate reduction and updated tax provisions due to tax settlement resulted in a benefit of approximately $0.52 to GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS. Earnings per diluted shares in 2025 were $9.62 and $11.89 for GAAP and
Non-GAAP, respectively. This compares to $7.46 and $9.16, respectively, in 2024. Tax rate reduction, updated tax provisions and a tax settlement, resulted in a benefit of approximately $1.90 to GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS.
|
| • |
Cash Balances, Marketable Securities & Short-Term Deposits: $4,342 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $2,784 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in cash is primarily a result
of the $1.8 billion proceeds from our $2 billion convertible notes offering net of issuance costs and purchase of capped call. During the fourth quarter of 2025 we completed the acquisition of Lakera AI for approximately $190 million net cash
consideration.
|
| • |

repurchases executed in connection with the convertible notes offering. During the full year 2025, we repurchased approximately 6.8 million shares at a total cost of approximately $1.4 billion.
|
| • |
Cash Flow: Cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $310 million, compared to $249 million in the same quarter of last year. Cash flow from operations in 2025 was $1,234 million,
which included a one-time tax payment of approximately $66 million in connection with tax settlement for prior years compared to $1,059 million last year. In addition, Cash flow from operations in 2025 included $51 million benefit from
balance sheet hedging transactions, compared to $18 million of expenses in 2024.
