Financial Highlights Commentary

• GAAP & Non-GAAP EPS- Earnings per diluted shares in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $2.81 and $3.40 for GAAP and Non-GAAP, respectively.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Check Point uses non-GAAP measures of operating income, net income and earnings per diluted share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude, as applicable, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and acquisition related expenses, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs and the related tax affects.
