The financial data reveals several noteworthy trends across the analyzed periods. The gross profit margin exhibits a generally positive trajectory, starting at 70.58% in April 2020 and increasing steadily to a peak of 75.37% in October 2024 before slightly declining to 74% by April 2025. This upward trend indicates an improvement in core operational profitability over time.
Operating profit margin displays a significant improvement from negative territory, beginning at -30.34% in January 2020 and gradually rising towards positive values. The margin moves close to break-even by early 2024, reaching a small positive peak of 1.52% in October 2024, though it dips back into negative territory at subsequent dates. This pattern implies ongoing challenges in managing operating expenses despite progress in reducing losses.
Net profit margin follows a similar pattern to the operating margin, starting from -29.45% in January 2020 and improving progressively. The metric crosses into positive territory in early 2024, reaching a high of 4.84% in October 2024 before declining again to -6.84% by April 2025. This fluctuation suggests occasional profitability but inconsistency in sustaining net earnings, reflecting volatility in non-operating factors or extraordinary items.
Return on equity (ROE) shows a marked recovery trend from deeply negative values beginning at -19.1% in January 2020. Despite intermittent declines, ROE approaches positive territory, peaking at 5.97% in October 2024 before falling again to -7.91% by April 2025. These fluctuations reveal variable effectiveness in generating shareholder returns, influenced by profitability and leverage considerations.
Return on assets (ROA) trends mirror those of ROE but at slightly lower absolute levels. Starting from -10.09% in January 2020, ROA improves steadily, surpassing zero in early 2024, with a maximum of 2.36% in October 2024. Following this, ROA dips to -3.2% by April 2025. The pattern signals gradual enhancements in asset utilization to produce profits but also highlights volatility and operational challenges impacting asset efficiency.
- Gross Profit Margin
- Consistent increase over time with a peak in late 2024, indicating improving core profitability.
- Operating Profit Margin
- Steady improvement from deep losses towards breakeven and minor profitability; however, the margin remains volatile and occasionally returns to negative territory.
- Net Profit Margin
- Reflects operating margin trends but with greater variability, including periods of slight profitability followed by renewed losses, pointing to instability in net results.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- Progresses from considerable negative returns to near and above zero, then declines again, suggesting challenges in consistently generating shareholder value.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- Shows improving asset efficiency with positive returns in 2024, yet ending in negative territory, indicating ongoing difficulties in maintaining asset profitability.
Overall, the data reflects a company moving from substantial losses towards improving profitability and efficiency metrics through 2024. However, instability in margins, returns, and net results into 2025 indicates persistent challenges in sustaining positive financial performance over the long term.

The financial dynamics over the periods illustrate notable fluctuations in operational income, revenue growth, and operating profit margins.
- Income (loss) from operations
- The operational income generally exhibits negative values throughout the majority of the periods analyzed, indicating consistent operational losses for most quarters. The losses deepen notably between April 2022 and January 2023, peaking in January 2023 at -61,500 thousand US dollars. However, from April 2023 onward, there is a marked improvement with the operational income turning positive in some quarters (e.g., 29,671 thousand US dollars in January 2024). Despite this temporary improvement, the trend reverses towards the last data points, with losses again increasing significantly by October 2024 and January 2025.
- Revenue
- Revenue displays a consistent and substantial upward trend throughout the entire period. Starting at 96,077 thousand US dollars in April 2019, revenues increase steadily every quarter without decline, reaching 1,168,952 thousand US dollars by April 2025. This reflects strong top-line growth, with revenue more than twelvefold over the analyzed timeframe, indicating successful market expansion or increased sales volumes.
- Operating profit margin
- The operating profit margin starts from negative values, illustrating operating losses as a percentage of revenue. Initially, the margin is moderately negative, with values such as -30.34% in October 2019 and improving slightly but remaining negative until early 2024. Around the first quarter of 2024, margins approach near break-even (e.g., -0.07% in April 2024), followed by a brief period of slight positive margins, peaking at 1.52% in October 2024. This short-term margin profitability does not sustain, as margins decline back into negative territory towards the latest quarters, reaching -8.72% by April 2025. The margin trend generally parallels the changes observed in operational income, reflecting improvements and subsequent deteriorations in operational efficiency or cost management.
In summary, the company demonstrates robust and continuous revenue growth over the analyzed quarters, indicative of expanding market presence or demand. Nevertheless, persistent operational losses dominate most reporting periods, with intermittent improvements leading to short-lived profitability. The fluctuations in operating profit margins highlight challenges in managing costs relative to revenue increases, suggesting potential operational or structural inefficiencies that need addressing to sustain profitability in the long term.

The financial data under review reveals significant trends in net income, revenue, and net profit margin over an extended period.
- Revenue
- Revenue exhibits a consistent and strong upward trajectory from April 2019 through April 2025. Starting at approximately 96 million US dollars in early 2019, revenue increases steadily every quarter, surpassing 1.16 billion US dollars by early 2025. This growth reflects sustained business expansion and increasing market demand over time.
- Net Income (Loss) Attributable to CrowdStrike
- Net income figures display substantial volatility throughout the periods analyzed. Initial quarters are marked by negative net income, with losses exceeding 25 million US dollars and worsening up to nearly 85 million in early 2021. Despite incremental improvement afterwards, net income remains negative for much of the period, indicating ongoing challenges in achieving profitability. However, starting around early 2023, a positive turning point is observed; net income becomes positive, peaking near 53 million US dollars in early 2024. This positive momentum is not sustained consistently, as net income reverts to negative levels towards the end of the forecast horizon, suggesting fluctuations in operational efficiency or cost management.
- Net Profit Margin
- Net profit margin percentages illustrate a trend similar to net income. Initially, margins are deeply negative, reflecting losses of approximately 29% near late 2019 and gradually improve but remain negative through most of the early periods. Improvement becomes more pronounced from late 2022 onward, where the margin turns positive, reaching a peak of nearly 4.8% in late 2024. Nonetheless, this progress is somewhat fragile, as margins decline into negative territory again by early 2025. The movement from negative to positive profit margins and subsequent decline signals transitional phases in cost control, revenue efficiency, or other profitability drivers.
In summary, revenue growth is strong and consistent, indicative of successful top-line expansion. Profitability metrics show an initial period of losses and negative margins, followed by intermittent profitability and positive margins that are not fully stabilized by the end of the period. These trends suggest ongoing efforts to convert revenue growth into sustained net profits face challenges, potentially related to cost structures or investment strategies.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several key trends in profitability and equity over the recorded periods.
- Net Income (Loss) Attributable to CrowdStrike (US$ in thousands)
- The net income consistently reflected losses from April 2019 through the first quarter of 2023, with some fluctuations in magnitude. The largest losses occurred in the second quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2021, exceeding -85,000 thousand US dollars. Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, there was a notable turnaround where net income shifted to positive values, indicating profitability. Net income peaked positively in the first quarter of 2024 at approximately 53,699 thousand US dollars before experiencing a subsequent decline, and then reverted again to losses in the later reported quarters ending April 2025.
- Total Stockholders’ Equity (US$ in thousands)
- Stockholders' equity demonstrated a consistent and strong upward trajectory throughout the entire period. Starting from a base value of 72,735 thousand US dollars in April 2019, the equity grew steadily each quarter without any significant reversals. By April 2025, equity had reached approximately 3,756,680 thousand US dollars, marking substantial capital accumulation and likely reflecting retained earnings, capital raises, or asset growth.
- Return on Equity (ROE, %)
- ROE exhibited predominantly negative values throughout most of the period, consistent with the negative net income results. From April 2020 to approximately the first quarter of 2023, ROE remained below zero, fluctuating between around -22% in some quarters and improving toward less negative figures nearing -0.58%. Starting in the second quarter of 2023, the ROE turned positive, peaking near 5.97% in the fourth quarter of 2023. This improvement aligns with the shift to positive net income during the same period. However, in the most recent quarters ending in 2025, ROE declined again into negative territory, indicating renewed challenges in generating returns on equity.
In summary, the company showed a pattern of sustained losses accompanied by increasing equity over the majority of the analyzed timeframe. The return on equity illustrated this loss-driven pattern initially but improved with the emergence of profitability in mid-2023. Despite this positive period, the most recent data indicates a reversal back to negative returns and losses. The steady growth in stockholders' equity signals a robust capital base, which may provide a buffer during periods of earnings volatility.

The financial data over the specified periods reveals several notable trends and patterns in profitability, asset growth, and return on assets (ROA).
- Net Income (Loss) Attributable to CrowdStrike (US$ in thousands)
-
The net income figures show considerable volatility with a generally negative trend during the initial quarters, followed by fluctuations around breakeven later. From April 2019 through the early part of 2023, the company experienced predominantly net losses, some of which were substantial, peaking in negative values around the first half of 2021 and again during 2022.
A turning point appears in early 2023, where net income shifts positive, with values increasing and peaking around January to July 2024. However, after this brief positive phase, net income declines sharply towards the end of the period, returning to significant losses in the last two reported quarters. This pattern indicates recurring challenges in sustaining profitability despite intermittent improvements.
- Total Assets (US$ in thousands)
-
Total assets consistently increase throughout the entire timeframe, reflecting steady growth in the company’s asset base. Starting from approximately 457 million in April 2019, total assets more than double by early 2021, continuing an upward trajectory through 2025, reaching close to 9.3 billion.
This sustained asset growth suggests ongoing investment, acquisition, or accumulation of resources, which may support scaling operations or reflect strategic asset management despite the volatile profitability.
- Return on Assets (ROA) (%)
-
The ROA metric, available from October 2019 onwards, exhibits a clear pattern of improvement over time. Initially, ROA is strongly negative, ranging around -10% in late 2019, indicating inefficient use of assets to generate earnings.
Over subsequent quarters, ROA gradually moves towards less negative values, crossing into positive territory around mid-2023. Post this inflection point, ROA remains mostly positive and peaks above 2% during 2023 and early 2024, signaling better asset utilization and operational effectiveness during that period.
Nevertheless, ROA recedes again into negative values by mid to late 2024, aligning with the observed downturn in net income. The temporary improvement followed by decline underscores challenges in maintaining efficient returns on the expanded asset base.
In summary, the company demonstrates a strong increase in total assets over the years, reflecting growth in scale or capacity. However, profitability remains volatile, with periods of both significant losses and brief gains. The ROA trajectory mirrors this, highlighting cycles of both improving and deteriorating asset efficiency. Such trends suggest the company is navigating complexities in converting its expanding asset base into consistent profit generation, facing intermittent operational or market headwinds impacting bottom-line performance.
