CrowdStrike Holdings Inc ( CRWD ) reported financial results for the fourth quarter Tuesday after the bell. Here’s a look at the key metrics from the report.

Q4 Earnings: CrowdStrike ( CRWD ) reported fourth-quarter revenue of $1.058 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $1.032 billion. The cybersecurity company reported adjusted earnings of $1.03 per share, beating analyst estimates of 85 cents per share.
