"We delivered solid second-quarter results, driven by growth in our emerging technologies portfolio including Email, SASE, and Enterprise Risk Management. Quantum Force appliances continued a double-digit growth trajectory, reflecting strong customer trust in our innovation and prevention-first ethos," said CEO Nadav Zafrir. "We continued to advance our strategic roadmap with the acquisition of Veriti, strengthening the Infinity platform's open-garden architecture. The third quarter is shaping up well with strong July indicators. We have a healthy pipeline heading into the second half of the year underscoring our full-year outlook."
Financial Commentary
Cash Balances, Marketable Securities & Short-Term Deposits: $2,913 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $3,058 million as of June 30, 2024. The decrease in cash is primarily a result of $186 million and $84 million net of cash consideration utilized for Cyberint Ltd. and Veriti Ltd acquisitions in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program: During the second quarter of 2025, the company re-purchased approximately 1.5 million shares at a total cost of approximately $325 million.
Cash Flow: Cash flow from operations in the second quarter of 2025 was $262 million, which included $50 million in benefit related to our currency hedging transactions, while acquisition-related costs were $6 million. This compares to $200 million in the second quarter of 2024, which included $14 million of expenses related to our currency hedging transactions, while acquisition-related costs were insignificant.
