About Fortinet, Inc.
About Fortinet, Inc.
Fortinet generated $6.80 billion in total revenue and $1.85 billion in net income in fiscal year 2025, with end-customers in over 100 countries spanning financial services, government, manufacturing, healthcare, and telecommunications. The company holds 1,405 global patents — including 321 AI-related patents — and has issued approximately two million cybersecurity certifications through its training institute. About 87% of hardware is manufactured in Taiwan through contract manufacturers.
Fortinet sells a portfolio of over 50 products across three pillars — Secure Networking, unified SASE, and AI-driven security operations — through a two-tier channel model: distributors including Arrow Electronics, Exclusive, Ingram Micro, and TD Synnex sell to resellers and managed security service providers who reach end-customers. Product revenue comes from FortiGate firewall appliances and FortiASIC-powered hardware; subscription revenue flows from FortiGuard threat intelligence and FortiCare technical support services, which the 10-K flags as a key operating result driver. Hardware is assembled by contract manufacturers including Accton and Wistron, with proprietary ASICs built by Toshiba America and Renesas using foundries that include TSMC in Taiwan. Key components — CPUs from Intel and AMD, network chips from Broadcom and Qualcomm, memory devices from Samsung and Micron — are available from limited or sole sources of supply. Research and development is conducted primarily in the United States and Canada.
Show full overview
The Taiwan manufacturing concentration — 87% of hardware produced there by contract manufacturers using TSMC-operated foundries — could adversely affect Fortinet if geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan disrupt supply chains, a risk the 10-K names explicitly alongside conflicts in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. Compounding this, the filing discloses no long-term contracts guaranteeing ASIC manufacturing capacity or pricing, and multiple component categories — including CPUs and network chips — are available only from limited or sole sources of supply.
