Fiscal year 2025 saw the highest ever full year net revenue and operating income, hitting ¥276B and ¥58B, respectively. Powered by solid Q4 performance, total company annual recurring revenue grew to U.S. $1.7B***, balanced with continued improvement of operating margin at 21%** for 2025.
Eva Chen, co-founder and CEO at Trend Micro: “AI has fundamentally changed every aspect of the modern world. Generative and agentic AI has shifted the value of software from an information advantage to a decision advantage, where decision authority and trust are paramount making proactive security essential in the AI-era. Aligned to our strategy of intercepting new technologies like cloud & AI early, Trend has transformed into a new structure to align with the evolving AI-centric buying needs across enterprises and consumers.”
Trend’s enterprise business saw net sales growth of 8% YoY** in Q4, closing out 2025 with enterprise ARR up 2%, surpassing $1.3B***. Platform adoption and expansion continues to propel sales as enterprises seek tool consolidation and proactive security to manage risk and remain ahead of accelerating AI-driven cyber threats. Up 58% in Q4, large enterprise platform ARR reached $467M*, with 1K new customers attached in 2025.
Q4 saw the launch of TrendAI Vision One™ for service providers, focused on delivering the platform capabilities to key strategic MSP and MSSP partners, with more than 190 now actively selling the platform with 4x average ARR per partner***. Small enterprises are benefiting from the agentic AI-powered cybersecurity platform that eases workloads for resource-restricted teams, with demand generating a 2% increase in ARR*** for 2025.
Trend’s consumer business continues to see strong adoption of its Beyond Device Protection (Digital Life Protection) offering with 11% YoY sales growth**** maintaining overall revenue through Q4. Driven in large part by the continued strong adoption of ScamCheck, which saw downloads growing 107%, with 141k downloads in Q4 alone. Despite this, the aftereffects of previous payment processing challenges continued to impact the overall revenue of Trend’s consumer business throughout the year, resulting in a 9% YoY decline in net sales for 2025**.

With continued focus on operating efficiencies, in 2026 we will transform our go-to-market and invest in growth to maximize the AI market opportunity.”
