Financial & Business Commentary:

** EPS: Earnings per diluted shares in the third quarter of 2025 were $3.94 and $3.28 for Non-GAAP and GAAP, respectively. This compares to $2.25 and $1.83 in the third quarter of 2024. In connection with tax settlement signed during the quarter, the company updated its tax provisions, which resulted in a benefit of approximately $1.47 to Non-GAAP and GAAP EPS.

Cash Balances, Marketable Securities & Short-Term Deposits: $2,817 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $2,873 million as of September 30, 2024. During the third quarter of 2025, we executed a payment of approximately $160 million for the land of the new Check Point Tel Aviv Campus.



Share Repurchase Program: During the third quarter of 2025, the company re-purchased approximately 1.6 million shares at a total cost of approximately $325 million.



Cash Flow: Cash flow from operations in the third quarter of 2025 was $241 million, which included a one-time tax payment of approximately $66 million in connection with tax settlement for prior years that was agreed and signed during the quarter. This compares to cashflow from operations of $249 million in the third quarter of 2024. Excluding the one-time tax payment, cash flow from operations increased by 23%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Check Point uses non-GAAP measures of operating income, net income and earnings per diluted share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude, as applicable, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and acquisition related expenses and the related tax affects. Check Point’s management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of Check Point’s ongoing core operations and prospects for the future. Historically, Check Point has also publicly presented these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to assist the investment community to see the company “through the eyes of management,” and thereby enhance understanding of its operating performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.
