Cognyte Software Raises Revenue Guidance, Targets $500M by 2028

Cognyte Software Ltd. reported a 21% year-over-year increase in total software revenue for Q2 2027, driven by strong demand for its sovereign AI platform in government security markets. The company narrowed its full-year revenue guidance to approximately $448 million, citing high visibility into 85% of required revenue, and remains on track to achieve its fiscal 2028 target of $500 million. Management highlighted expanding operational leverage, with profitability growing more than four times faster than revenue, and noted that the U.S. segment is targeting $20 million in signed deals this fiscal year. The company is deliberately building inventory to mitigate supply chain risks, and operating expenses were impacted by approximately $7 million in foreign exchange headwinds from the weaker U.S. dollar against the Israeli shekel. A new Chief Revenue Officer, Adam Philpott, has been appointed to lead global commercial operations.

Cognyte Maintains Fiscal 2027 Outlook Despite Cost Headwinds

Cognyte Software Ltd. reported a solid start to fiscal 2027 with double-digit revenue growth and improved profitability, but cost pressures from foreign exchange volatility and higher hardware costs weighed on operating expenses and cash flow. Non-GAAP operating expenses rose to $66.2 million, largely due to the U.S. dollar's weakness against the Israeli shekel, while inventory increased by approximately $3 million to meet anticipated demand. These factors contributed to negative operating cash flow of $4.7 million and negative free cash flow of $6.1 million in the first quarter. Despite the headwinds, management reaffirmed its full-year guidance, expecting non-GAAP operating income of approximately $56 million and adjusted EBITDA of around $68 million, reflecting more than 50% and about 40% year-over-year growth respectively at the midpoint of its revenue guidance. The company also remains on track to achieve its fiscal 2028 adjusted EBITDA target on a constant currency basis, though the target was updated to approximately 20% to reflect exchange rate changes.
