Qualys Inc.: Strengthening Partnership Ecosystem to Play A Significant Role In Its Growth Trajectory!

Qualys, a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions, presented a mixed financial performance for the first quarter of 2025, highlighted by certain growth indicators alongside pronounced macroeconomic challenges. Total revenue for the quarter increased by 10% year-over-year to $159.9 million, surpassing initial expectations. This growth was notably fueled by robust performance of the channel sales, which accounted for 49% of total revenues, reflecting a 19% increase in channel-related revenue compared to a 2% growth in direct revenue. However, the company expressed caution regarding the macroeconomic backdrop, noting increased scrutiny and lengthening sales cycles, which may introduce variability into future business growth.
