About Elastic N.V.
About Elastic N.V.
Elastic N.V. generated $1.739 billion in total revenue for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, up 17% year-over-year, with subscriptions comprising 94% of that total. The Elasticsearch Platform is offered across three solutions—Search & AI, Elastic Observability, and Elastic Security—available as cloud services on AWS, GCP, and Azure and as self-managed software. Revenue from customers outside the United States represented 46% of fiscal 2026 revenue, up from 44% in fiscal 2025, reflecting the company's globally distributed 24,000-customer base.
Elastic earns subscription revenue through resource-based pricing on Elastic Cloud Hosted and Elastic Cloud Serverless tiers, with additional self-managed proprietary software licenses. The company had more than 1,720 customers spending over $100,000 annually and more than 240 customers spending over $1.0 million annually as of April 30, 2026. One channel partner customer accounted for 11% of total revenue in fiscal 2026 and 12% in fiscal 2025. R&D spending reached $451.9 million in fiscal 2026, focused on vector database capabilities, agentic AI workflows, and LLM inference integrations. Sales reach extends through direct enterprise sales teams, cloud marketplace distribution on AWS, GCP, and Azure, and a global network of systems integrators and OEM partners. The free-download model—where Elasticsearch and Kibana core are available under an AGPL open source license—creates a developer-funnel that converts to paid subscriptions.

Elastic faces evolving compliance obligations under the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, which establishes a risk-based governance framework for AI systems operating in the EU and imposes heightened requirements for general-purpose AI systems—a category the 10-K explicitly states the company currently deploys. A patchwork of U.S. state-level AI legislation is also emerging, creating jurisdictional complexity across markets. Elastic's open-source development model exposes it to the risk that AI-generated code contributions may introduce unclear intellectual property ownership or security vulnerabilities, potentially triggering claims under open-source license terms that the company may not be able to anticipate or promptly mitigate.
