| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $5.0B | +27.1% | +4.1% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $973.0M | +51.3% | -58.0% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +78.5% | -2.3% | -1.9% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +43.1% | +5.3% | -47.7% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +19.5% | +19.1% | -59.7% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $1.5B | +26.3% | -9.7% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +30.5% | -0.6% | -13.2% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 316.4% | -13.7% | -2.7% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 0.40x | -21.2% | +16.8% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $15.6B | +0.6% | +0.4% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 1.57 vs 2.55 | -38.4% | 0.36 vs 0.73 | -50.8% |

Operator 0:00:00 Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for standing by. My name is Jen, and I will be your conference operator today. Today's call is being recorded, and all lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session.

Welcome to Gen's First Quarter Fiscal Year 2027 Earnings Call. Joining me today are Vincent Pilette, CEO, and Natalie Derse, CFO. As a reminder, there will be a replay of this call posted on the investor relations website, along with our slides and press release. I'd like to remind everyone that during the call, all references to the financial metrics are non-GAAP, and all growth rates are year-over-year and adjusted to exclude the extra fiscal week in Q1 fiscal 2026, and to include MoneyLion's stub financials in the prior year comparison. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures is included in our press release and earnings presentation, both of which are available on our IR website at investor.gendigital.com. We encourage investors to monitor this website as we routinely post investor-oriented information, such as news and events and financial filings. Ben Lu Head of Investor Relations 0:01:18 Today's call contains statements regarding our business, financial performance, and operations, including the impact on our business and industry that may be considered forward-looking statements, and such statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations.

Now, I will turn the call over to Vincent. Vincent Pilette CEO 0:02:00 Thank you, Ben, and good afternoon, everyone. Three months ago, we guided fiscal 2027 with a structural step-up, 8%-10% revenue growth and mid-teens EPS growth. Q1 shows why we had the conviction to do it. We delivered another better-than-expected quarter and entered the rest of FY 2027 with strategy delivering double-digit growth. Let's start with the headline. Bookings and revenue grew 11%, and non-GAAP EPS grew 19%, both above guidance. Paid customers crossed 80 million, an 11th straight quarter of sequential growth. Two segments, one platform, one mission, helping people live fearlessly in an increasingly complex and ever-expanding digital world. Our job is to be the trusted partner who reduces their risks and keep them safe, …

Investors with an interest in Technology Services stocks have likely encountered both Gen Digital (GEN) and Zeta Global Holdings (ZETA). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks?
Gen Digital is rated a cautious BUY, supported by a base-case value of $32 per share, about 14% above its current price. GEN's MoneyLion acquisition aims to monetize its vast customer base via cross-selling financial and Cyber Safety products, though integration benefits remain unquantified. Trust-Based Solutions revenue grew 24% but carries lower margins (~30%) than Cyber Safety, impacting overall profitability as it becomes a larger revenue share.
Gen Digital earns a Buy rating, trading at $28.73 and under 10x forward EPS, with undervaluation driven by evolving business mix. GEN's Trust-Based Solutions segment is the primary re-rating catalyst, delivering 24% revenue growth and leveraging a large customer base for financial wellness cross-selling. Cyber Safety remains a high-margin, cash-generating core, supporting debt reduction, dividends, and investment in higher-growth initiatives.
