Rubrik (NYSE:RBRK) Releases Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.15 EPS

Rubrik (NYSE:RBRK) released its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.04 EPS for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of ($0.11) by $0.15, FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $377.68 million during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $342.43 million. During the same quarter in the prior year, the company earned ($0.18) earnings per share. The firm’s revenue for the quarter was up 46.3% compared to the same quarter last year. Rubrik updated its Q1 2027 guidance to -0.040–0.020 EPS and its FY 2027 guidance to 0.070-0.270 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Rubrik’s conference call:

• Rubrik reported a blowout quarter with a record $115 million of net new subscription ARR, total subscription ARR of $1.46 billion (up 34% YoY) and fiscal‑year free cash flow of $238 million, signaling strong demand and cash generation.
• Profitability improved materially: non‑GAAP gross margin rose to 84% and subscription ARR contribution margin expanded roughly 950 basis points year‑over‑year (LTM ~12%), with management forecasting continued margin improvement in FY27.
• Identity protection is scaling quickly—Rubrik crossed ~900 identity customers and added Okta Recovery support, driving notable deal activity and multi‑product attach rates that expand wallet share with CISOs.
• Rubrik Agent Cloud is now generally available and integrated with the Predibase LLM stack; early POCs with Fortune 500s are focused on agent discovery and real‑time guardrails, but commercial impact is still in the early innings.
• Q4 revenue received an accounting tailwind from cloud transition “material rights” (~$18 million), and management expects smaller but continuing material‑rights contributions in Q1 and FY27, which can distort near‑term revenue comparability.
