	Sustainability			In fiscal 2026, we published CrowdStrike’s FY2025 Sustainability Update, our first annual sustainability report. The report included our first public disclosure of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with limited assurance from PricewaterhouseCoopers. We also conducted a climate risk scenario analysis, which was aligned to the framework contained in the Final Report of Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, as disclosed in our report. The report can be found on https://www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/about-us/sustainability/. Beyond reporting, we are conscious of our operational footprint. As an organization that allows for both remote and hybrid working arrangements, we can hire the best and the brightest wherever they are. This helps reduce our environmental footprint by decreasing long commutes and the impact that comes with operating a large number of physical offices. Furthermore, nearly half of our leased offices larger than 2,000 square feet are located in buildings that have received environmental certifications, including Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) and Energy Star certifications. We also consider environmental impact in our data center location selection decisions. When feasible, we prefer locations with more sustainable power and a lower carbon footprint, choose servers with lower power demands, and adjust power to our servers based on demand to minimize energy utilized. We continually strive to increase the watts-to-performance ratio of our computing, which increases energy efficiency. To complement our direct efforts to reduce our environmental impact, in fiscal 2026 we partnered with Watershed Technology Inc. to identify, purchase, and retire a variety of high-quality Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs). Furthermore, in January 2026, we submitted our near-term company-wide GHG emission reduction targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as part of our ongoing efforts to address climate-related risks and align with customer priorities. In addition, in connection with Earth Day 2025, CrowdStrike employees engaged in a variety of initiatives, including a 30-day challenge to help employees build sustainable living habits and numerous learning opportunities relating to sustainable action.
	Accessibility			CrowdStrike takes the accessibility of its products seriously, and we review our products for compliance on a recurring basis. In particular, we focus on screen reader compatibility for visually impaired users, keyboard navigation for users with limited dexterity and color/contrast configurability to optimize our experience for various classes of color-blindness. Our quality assurance team is also trained, certified and equipped to assist with testing for accessibility, and we work with external auditors to help identify any deficiencies. CrowdStrike is committed to expanding our compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2-AA, Section 508, and EN 301 549. We have invested, and intend to continue to invest in, the ongoing improvement of the accessibility of our products for differently abled users.
	Governance			We strive to maintain high governance standards. Our commitment to effective corporate governance is illustrated by the following practices: • We have a “one share, one vote” structure. • Eight out of nine of our directors are independent. • The Chairperson of our Board is independent. • Our Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees are comprised of independent directors.

				• Our Board and Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees perform annual self-assessments. • The leadership structure of our Board is reviewed annually. • Our independent directors regularly meet in executive session. • Our Board and Board committees may hire outside advisors independently of management. • Our insider trading policy contains anti-hedging and anti-pledging provisions. • We have not adopted a “poison pill” stockholder rights plan. • Our directors routinely attend director education programs to assist them in remaining current with corporate governance best practices and industry developments.
	Data Privacy and Protection			CrowdStrike maintains a global privacy compliance management program designed to identify, assess, and help manage risks associated with the processing of personal data across our operations, products, and services. The program is led by our Chief Privacy and Policy Officer, who administers the program and coordinates day-to-day compliance with applicable global privacy laws and standards. The privacy function regularly collaborates with our cybersecurity, legal, compliance, product, and other business teams, and participates in cross-functional governance bodies addressing enterprise risk, incident response, and artificial intelligence (“AI”) governance where privacy considerations are implicated. The program includes documented policies, procedures, and controls, including: monitoring legal and regulatory developments; Privacy-by-Design and Privacy-by-Default practices; records of processing activities; privacy notices; customer, vendor, and intra-group data protection agreements; cross-border data transfer mechanisms; vendor and sub-processor oversight; processes for responding to individual privacy rights requests; and procedures to assess and respond to privacy-related incidents, including escalation to senior management and legal leadership as appropriate. Management provides periodic briefings regarding privacy and data protection program effectiveness, regulatory developments, and privacy-related risk trends to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. While we implement legal, contractual, and technical safeguards designed to protect personal data, no system can eliminate all risk in a globally interconnected environment.
	Information Security			CrowdStrike maintains an information security program, which is supervised by the Chief Information Security Officer, whose team is responsible for managing enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, and architecture. The information security team is made up of industry experts from varied technology specialties and located throughout the world. This multidisciplinary team is organized into multiple sub-teams focused on implementing defensive measures, validating security controls, securing CrowdStrike products, and simulating attacks to test defenses, and is engaged in a continuous communication feedback loop, designed with the same guiding security principles and industry-leading tooling that we bring to all of our customers. Some information security program highlights include: • We maintain a 24x7x365 staffing program, resulting in rapid security incident response times and resolution. • The cybersecurity team leverages automation, orchestration, and AI to realize economies of scale. • Zero Trust security framework principles are utilized to minimize exposure to cyber issues by implementing strict access controls and authentication mechanisms.

				• Our teams engage in cross-organization exercises to ensure response plans are clearly established. • CrowdStrike personnel, including certain contractors, undergo background checks, and CrowdStrike employee activity is monitored on CrowdStrike systems, where permitted by law. • Our programs and systems undergo rigorous audits where applicable (including SOC II, FedRAMP and ISO 42001) by independent organizations which help validate the security posture. • CrowdStrike’s AI governance aligns with industry standards, utilizing a structured approach encompassing people, processes, and technology. In fiscal 2026, we launched an internal AI governance committee, composed of a cross-functional management team. The committee provides strategic oversight, risk management, and policy direction to promote the development, deployment, and use of our AI systems in a responsible, secure, and compliant manner. • Our internal security testing team engages with external parties to validate our external and internal security posture through quarterly penetration testing led by top-tier security firms as well as actively engaging with the researcher community via the CrowdStrike Bug Bounty program. • All CrowdStrike employees are required to take annual information security and compliance training. • CrowdStrike maintains a visionary product security capability, dedicated to protecting CrowdStrike’s customer-facing products.
	Securing our Future			We are committed to protecting local and global communities by investing in programs that keep our industry secure, help advance important causes and that nurture the next generation of talent. In fiscal 2026, CrowdStrike funded a variety of scholarships and grants to help develop the next generation of talent and resources in cybersecurity and AI across the globe through the CrowdStrike Foundation (managed through our donor advised fund at Charities Aid Foundation), corporate-directed giving and corporate-matching. Major programs included: • NextGen Scholarship Program for undergraduate and graduate students studying cybersecurity and/or AI. • Philanthropic investments in our communities through our support of more than 100 nonprofits globally, including: Operation Motorsport Foundation, Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security, India STEM Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Junior Achievement, Cyber Texas, BRDG to Connect, and more. • Paid time off through our CrowdStrike Cares program to support local communities through philanthropy, volunteering, and other activities. In fiscal 2026, CrowdStrike also provided select nonprofit organizations with access to its Falcon platform pro bono.

Performance Metrics			Description
Non-GAAP Operating Income (2) (30% weighting)			Non-GAAP operating income is an indicator of profitability that eliminates the effects of events that either are not part of our core operations or are non-cash as well as the impact of income taxes. The non-GAAP operating income portion of the CIP is only funded if at least 80% of our non-GAAP operating income target is met within the performance period. Specifically, funding under the CIP as a percentage of our non-GAAP operating income target is determined in accordance with the following table:

Achievement Against Target			Payout
Less than 80%			No payout
80% – 100%			25% – 100% payout (with linear interpolation between 80% – 100% achievement levels)
Greater than 100% up to 110%			100% – 110% payout (with linear interpolation between 100% – 110% achievement levels)
Greater than 110%			Capped at 110% payout

2026 Target and Results
Aggregate of Fiscal 2026 Quarterly Targets			Average of Quarterly Achievement Percentages
$1,146.4 million			105.0%


	Net New Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) (70% weighting)			Revenue is a primary financial indicator of our growth and stockholder value creation. It is what our investors look to as a measure of our success at selling our solutions, innovating and competing in the marketplace. Specifically for the CIP, we focus on net new ARR.
				The net new ARR portion of the CIP is only funded if at least 80% of our net new ARR target is met within the performance period. Specifically, funding under the CIP based on percentage achievement of our net new ARR target is determined in accordance with the following table:


	Net Retention Rate (3)			Net Retention Rate is an important indicator of our ability to retain and expand customers and our business health and is used as a modifier to determine the final payout under the CIP. Under the CIP, the Compensation Committee may apply an upward or downward modifier of up to 10% based on whether our Net Retention Rate exceeds or is less than the target for any quarter. For fiscal 2026, our quarterly Net Retention Rate target range was 110% – 115%. Our Net Retention Rate was 112%, 111%, 114%, and 115% for the first, second, third, and fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, respectively, falling within our target range, and therefore no modifier was applied to the final payout under the CIP.
