Gen Digital delivered a strong start to fiscal 2026, posting a Q1 with bookings and revenue growth exceeding initial expectations. Reported bookings rose ~32% year over year to $1.2 billion, and revenue rose ~30% to $1.26 billion. Management highlighted that an extra fiscal week contributed roughly 9 points to top-line growth, and the MoneyLion acquisition contributed 16 points, driving pro forma revenue growth of ~5% YoY when excluding the extra week and MoneyLion. The company now operates in two synergistic segments: Cyber Safety Platform (CSP), representing about two-thirds of revenue, and Trust-Based Solutions (TBS), about one-third. CSP delivered a robust 61% operating margin, while TBS delivered ~31%, helping Gen achieve a consolidated non-GAAP operating margin of ~52% and non-GAAP EPS of $0.64, up ~20% YoY. Gen raised its full-year revenue guidance by $100 million to $4.8–$4.9 billion and guided Q2 non-GAAP revenue of $1.18–$1.21 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $0.60–$0.62. The MoneyLion integration is progressing on plan with core infrastructure aligned; the first integrated Gen-MoneyLion product is targeted for launch in the fall. Management underscored AI-driven platform evolution (Gen stack, Norton Deepfake Detection, Norton Neo) and a broader AI-first strategy to sustain differentiation amid rising cyber threats. The combination of a large, recurring base (over 76 million paid customers including MoneyLion, ~68 million across direct/partner channels) and accelerating cross-sell opportunities supports a durable growth trajectory, while the company remains focused on reducing leverage toward sub-3x EBITDA by FY2027.
