Cognyte secured a new three‑year subscription agreement with a long‑standing customer in the EMEA region, valued at more than $20 million. The deal expands the customer’s use of Cognyte’s AI‑driven investigative analytics platform across additional use cases and transitions the relationship to a subscription model, providing continuous access to new capabilities and faster deployment of enhancements.
The agreement underscores Cognyte’s land‑and‑expand strategy and adds a substantial recurring revenue stream to its already high‑margin software portfolio. The subscription model is expected to generate predictable, recurring cash flows and support higher gross margins, consistent with the company’s 74.7% non‑GAAP gross margin in Q4 FY26 and 73% for FY26.
Cognyte’s FY26 revenue reached $400 million, up 14.1% year‑over‑year, and the company is guiding FY27 revenue to approximately $448 million. Adjusted EBITDA for FY26 was $48.2 million, and guidance for FY27 is roughly $68 million, reflecting continued double‑digit growth and strong profitability.
Chief Revenue Officer Efi Nuri said, "This expansion reflects how customers evolve to broader, more integrated use of our solutions as their operational needs grow. By expanding adoption across additional use cases and transitioning to a subscription model, they benefit from continuous delivery of innovation while strengthening their operational capabilities." Chief Financial Officer David Abadi added, "This agreement highlights the strength and durability of demand across our existing customer base."
The deal demonstrates sustained demand for Cognyte’s AI‑powered investigative analytics solutions in the security and intelligence sectors, where governments and enterprises are investing heavily in advanced analytics to process large volumes of data for investigations and threat detection. The subscription transition aligns with industry trends toward predictable, recurring revenue and positions Cognyte to capture incremental value from future platform enhancements.
