CFO Succession Search
The company initiated a search for a new Chief Financial Officer in June 2026 as part of long-term succession planning, adding leadership transition risk.

Operating cash flow was -$70.5M for H1 FY2027, compared to +$8.7M in the prior year period, driven by higher stock-based compensation and a shift to annual billing.
Analysis · NTSK · Technology
Netskope delivered strong top-line growth of 29% year-over-year to $220.5 million in Q2 FY2027, with gross margin expanding to 74%. However, the 10-Q reveals a 5% workforce reduction approved in June 2026 as part of an AI-native transition, a CFO succession search initiated the same month, and a $26.5 million non-cash loss on convertible note fair value changes. Operating cash flow turned negative at -$70.5 million for the first half of fiscal 2027, driven by higher stock-based compensation and a shift from multi-year to annual billing. The company raised full-year revenue guidance to $888M-$892M, but the restructuring and leadership transition introduce execution risk alongside the growth story.
