Hello, and welcome to CrowdStrike’s fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 financial results conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speakers’ presentation, we will conduct a question-and-answer session. Please be advised that today’s conference is being recorded.
I would now like to hand the call over to Maria Riley, vice president of investor relations. Maria, please go ahead.
Maria Riley — Vice President, Investor Relations
Good afternoon, and thank you for your participation today. With me on the call are George Kurtz, chief executive officer and founder of CrowdStrike; and Burt Podbere, chief financial officer. Before we get started, I would like to note that certain statements made during this conference call that are not historical facts, including those regarding our future plans, objectives, growth; including projections and expected performance; including our outlook for the first quarter and fiscal year 2026; and any assumptions for fiscal periods beyond that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent our outlook only as of the date of this call.
While we believe any forward-looking statements we make are reasonable, actual results could differ materially because the statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We do not undertake and expressly disclaim any obligation to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Further information on these and other factors that could affect the company’s financial results is included in the filings we make with the SEC from time to time, including the section titled Risk Factors in the company’s quarterly and annual reports. Additionally, unless otherwise stated, excluding revenue, all financial measures disclosed on this call will be non-GAAP.
A discussion of why we use non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation schedule showing GAAP versus non-GAAP results is currently available in our earnings press release, which may be found on our investor relations website at ir.crowdstrike.com or on our Form 8-K filed with the SEC today. With that, I will now turn the call over to George.
George Kurtz — Co-Founder, President, and Chief Financial Officer
Thank you, Maria, and thank you, all, for joining us today for our Q4 2025 earnings call. I’m extremely proud of the engagement we’ve had with customers, partners, prospects, and the market navigating the year that tested CrowdStrike. Q4 showcases the fruits of our labors, giving me strong conviction in our AI-native single platform, excellent execution, and accelerating market opportunity. Q4 FY 2025 highlights include: Q4 net new ARR of $224 million, well ahead of our expectations, closing FY 2025 at $4.24 billion in ending ARR; FY ’25 ending ARR for cloud security, identity protection, and next-gen SIEM of over $1.3 billion, growing nearly 50% year over year; gross dollar retention of 97% as customers remain firmly committed to the Falcon platform; Q4 free cash flow of $240 million.
