Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
General GENERAL
a.Description of Business:

Varonis Systems, Inc. ("VSI" and together with its subsidiaries, collectively, the “Company” or "Varonis") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 3, 2004, commenced operations on January 1, 2005 and has thirteen wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company's software specializes in data security, threat detection and response and data privacy and compliance. Varonis software enables enterprises of all sizes and industries to protect data stored in the cloud and on-premises including: sensitive files and emails; confidential personal data belonging to customers, patients and employees; financial records; source code, strategic and product plans; and other intellectual property. Recognizing the challenge of protecting data with growing volume, velocity, and variety, the Company has built an integrated platform to simplify and streamline data security, threat detection and response, and data privacy and compliance.

The Company offers coverage for most mission-critical cloud and on-premises data stores and cloud infrastructure environments, and many critical SaaS applications. In 2022, Varonis announced the availability of its flagship Varonis Data Security Platform as a SaaS solution, which offers simpler deployment, faster time-to-value, and groundbreaking new automation capabilities that help customers prevent data breaches.

The Varonis Data Security Platform helps enterprises protect data against cyberattacks from both external and internal threats. The Company's products enable enterprises to analyze data, application and account activity and user behavior to detect and prevent attacks. Its software platform prevents or limits unauthorized use of sensitive information, detects and prevents potential cyberattacks and limits potential damage by automatically locking down data, allowing access to only those who need it and automating the removal of stale data when it is no longer useful.

The broad applicability of the Company's technology has resulted in its customers deploying its software for numerous use cases. These use cases include: automatic discovery and classification of high-risk, sensitive data; data security posture management (DSPM); SaaS security posture management; automated remediation of over-exposed data; centralized visibility and risk analysis of enterprise data and monitoring of user behavior and file activity; security monitoring and risk reduction; data breach, insider threat, malware and ransomware detection with Managed Data Detection and Response ("MDDR"); automatic response to ransomware and other severe incidents to limit exposure and reduce recovery times; data ownership identification, assignment, and automatic involvement; forensics, reporting and auditing with searchable logs; meeting security policy and compliance regulation; automatic data migration; cloud migration; automation of retention and disposition policies; automatic data quarantine; intelligent archiving; and automated indexing for data subject requests related to privacy and compliance requirements.

b.Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, “Interim Financial Statements” and the rules and regulations for Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to those rules and regulations, the Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosure it normally includes in its annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain amounts in prior periods' condensed consolidated financial statements have been recast and reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The reclassifications have no impact on cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
 
In management’s opinion, the Company has made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the 2024 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 6, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). There have been no changes in the significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 included in the 2024 Form 10-K, unless otherwise stated.
c.Revenue Recognition:

The Company generates revenues primarily in the form of SaaS revenues, term license subscriptions and maintenance and services fees. SaaS revenues, including SaaS with MDDR, are provided on a subscription basis and allow customers to use hosted software. Over the last few years, the Company has introduced new products and support for cloud applications and infrastructure environments, including the Varonis Data Security Platform delivered as a SaaS solution, which was previously only sold as a self-hosted solution. Term license subscription revenues are sold on-premises and are comprised of time-based licenses whereby customers use the Company's software (including support and unspecified upgrades and enhancements when and if they are available) for a specified period. Maintenance and services primarily consist of fees for maintenance of past perpetual license sales (including support and unspecified upgrades and enhancements when and if they are available) and to a lesser extent professional services, although the user can benefit from the software without its assistance. The Company sells its products worldwide to a network of distributors and value-added resellers, and payment is typically due within 30 to 60 calendar days of the invoice date.

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC No. 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” As such, the Company identifies a contract with a customer, identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract and recognizes revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

SaaS revenue is recognized ratably over the associated contract period, beginning when access is provided and the benefit of the service is available. Conversions from a license sold on-premises to the Company’s SaaS offering during the original subscription period are accounted for on a prospective basis.

Term license subscription software sold on-premises is recognized at the point in time when the software license has been delivered and the benefit of the asset has transferred. Maintenance associated with term license subscription software is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement since these services have a consistent continuous pattern of transfer to a customer during the contract period, and is included within the term license subscriptions line of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company recognizes revenues from maintenance agreements ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance contract, as these services have a consistent continuous pattern of transfer to a customer during the contract period, which is usually one year. Revenues from professional services are recognized when the services are provided or once the service term has expired.

The Company enters into contracts that can include combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. SaaS, term license subscriptions and maintenance and services are generally distinct since the customer can benefit from the products and services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available and the promise to transfer these products and services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price out of the total consideration of the contract. For software licenses and maintenance included in term license subscriptions, the Company determines the standalone selling prices based on the price at which it separately sells a renewal contract. For professional services, the Company determines the standalone selling prices based on the price at which it separately sells those services.

Trade receivables are generally recorded at the invoice amount mostly for a one-year period, net of an allowance for credit losses.

Deferred revenues represent mostly unrecognized fees billed or collected for SaaS and maintenance contracts. Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) the Company performs its obligations under the contract. Pursuant to these contracts, customers are generally not invoiced for subsequent years until the annual renewal occurs. The amount of revenues recognized in the period that was included in the opening deferred revenues balance was $193,413 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Revenues allocated to remaining performance obligations represent contracted revenues that have not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenues and non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced in the future. The Company's remaining performance obligations were $870,891 as of June 30, 2025, of which it expects to recognize approximately 53% as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

For information regarding disaggregated revenues, refer to Note 8.
d.Contract Costs:

The Company pays sales commissions to sales and marketing and certain management personnel based on their attainment of certain predetermined sales goals. Sales commissions earned by employees are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions paid for initial contracts, which are not commensurate with sales commissions paid for renewal contracts, are capitalized and amortized over an expected period of benefit. Based on its technology, customer contracts and other factors, the Company has determined the expected period of benefit to be approximately four years. Sales commissions for renewal contracts are capitalized and then amortized on a straight-line basis. Amortization expenses related to these costs are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

e.Derivative Instruments:
 
The Company’s primary objective for holding derivative instruments is to reduce its exposure to foreign currency rate changes. The Company reduces its exposure by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts with respect to revenues and operating expenses that are forecasted to be incurred in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. A majority of the Company’s revenues and operating expenses are transacted in U.S. dollars; however, certain revenues and operating expenses are incurred in or exposed to other currencies, specifically, the Euro and Pound Sterling for revenues and the New Israeli Shekel, Euro and Pound Sterling for operating expenses.

The Company has established forecasted transaction currency risk management programs to protect against the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in exchange rates. The Company’s currency risk management program includes forward foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges. These forward foreign exchange contracts generally mature within periods of up to 24 months. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Derivative instruments measured at fair value and their classification in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented in the following table (in thousands):

The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect a net loss of $1,337 and $1,999 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and a net loss of $3,145 and $6,388 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, related to the cash flow hedges.
f.Income Taxes:
 
The Company operates in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions and is subject to taxes in each country or jurisdiction in which it conducts business. Earnings from its non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax and may be subject to U.S. income tax.

Because of its history of operating losses, the Company has established a full valuation allowance against potential future benefits for deferred tax assets, including loss carryforwards.

Accounting for income taxes for interim periods generally requires the provision for income taxes to be determined by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pretax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, a discrete effective tax rate method was used in jurisdictions where a small change in estimated ordinary income has a significant impact on the annual effective tax rate.

In some foreign tax jurisdictions, the Company bases its interim tax accruals on the annual estimated effective tax rate applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, adjusted for items which are considered discrete to the period. In each quarter, the Company updates its calculation and makes a year-to-date adjustment to its tax provision as necessary.

The Company's fiscal 2025 annual effective rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to R&D capitalization under the terms of Section 174, tax deduction for stock based compensation, and generation or utilization of carry forward net operating loss (“NOL”) and research and development tax credits resulting in a current provision expense without an offset to deferred expense, as the Company remains in a valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets.

The Company's income tax provision could be significantly impacted by estimates surrounding its uncertain tax positions and changes to its valuation allowance. The Company reevaluates the judgments surrounding its estimates and makes adjustments as appropriate each reporting period.

The Company remains open to federal and state examination to the extent net carry-over unused operating losses and tax credit attributable to those years remain unutilized. As of June 30, 2025, the Company's federal tax returns for the years 2010 through the current period, excluding the 2016 tax year which was audited by the Internal Revenue Service, and most state tax returns for the years 2009 through the current period, are still open to examination.

In addition, the Company is subject to the regular examinations of its income tax returns by different tax authorities. The Company regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted tax reform legislation through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of U.S. research and development expenses and certain capital expenditures, as well as changes to the U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. The new legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. As the OBBBA was signed into law after June 30, 2025, the financial impact is not included in the Company's operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company is currently assessing the impact the OBBBA will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

g.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Short-Term Investments:   
 
The Company accounts for investments in marketable securities in accordance with ASC No. 320, “Investments—Debt Securities” and ASC No. 326, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses.” The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, highly liquid investments in money market funds and other securities.

The Company considers all investments and marketable securities purchased with maturities at the date of purchase greater than three months but less than one year to be short-term. Investments and marketable securities purchased with maturities at the date of purchase greater than one year are classified as long-term assets, until the maturity date is in less than one year, at which point they are reclassified as short-term assets. Marketable securities are classified as available for sale and are, therefore, recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with any unrealized gains and losses reported in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, until realized. The amortized cost of securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion is included as a component of financial income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term deposits consist of the following (in thousands):

Unrealized losses associated with investments in available for sale securities have all been in a continuous unrealized loss position of less than one year as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The gross unrealized gains and losses related to these investments were due primarily to changes in interest rates. Available for sale debt securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed using the credit losses model for marketable securities to determine what portion of that difference, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Expected credit losses on available for sale debt securities are recognized in financial income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on available for sale marketable securities.

h.Business Combinations:

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of the purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company makes estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The Company's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from such estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.

i.Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets, including Acquired Intangible Assets:

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration in a business combination over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually or more often if circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. No indications of impairment of goodwill were noted during the periods presented.

Acquired intangible assets consist of identifiable intangible assets, including developed technology and non-compete agreements, resulting from business combinations. Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense of developed technology and non-compete agreements are recorded within cost of revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. No indications of impairment of intangible assets were noted during the periods presented.

j.Capitalized Internal-use Software Development Costs:

The Company capitalizes certain development costs incurred in connection with its internal-use software in accordance with ASC No. 350-40, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software." These capitalized costs are related to the Company's SaaS platform. Costs incurred in the preliminary and post-implementation stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once internal-use software has reached the development stage, direct internal and external costs are capitalized until the internal-use software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalized costs are recorded as part of property and equipment, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Management tests these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact recoverability of these assets. As of June 30, 2025, these assets were in the development stage, as such, no amortization has been recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to these assets and there were no indications of impairment.

k.Concentration of Credit Risks:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, short-term deposits and trade receivables.
 
The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term deposits are invested in major banks mainly in the United States but also in Israel, France, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, Luxembourg, Australia and Singapore. Such deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions and monitors the amount of credit exposure to each financial institution.
 
The Company’s trade receivables are geographically diversified and derived primarily from sales to a network of distributors and value-added resellers (VARs) mainly in the United States and Europe. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited by credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its channel partners and establishes an allowance for credit losses based upon a review of all significant outstanding invoices, historical collection experience, customer creditworthiness, current, and future economic and market conditions. The Company writes off receivables when they are deemed uncollectible and having exhausted all collection efforts.

l.Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share:
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and the shares related to the conversion of the 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes issued by the Company on May 11, 2020 and due August 2025 in an aggregate principal amount of $253,000 (the "2025 Notes") and the 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes issued by the Company on September 10, 2024 and due September 2029 in an aggregate principal amount of $460,000 (the "2029 Notes" and, together with the 2025 Notes, the "Notes"), as well as the associated capped call transactions described in Note 6, to the extent dilutive.

Basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. There were 8,102,463 and 7,807,411 potentially dilutive shares from the conversion of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units that were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the periods ending June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Additionally, 14,966,942 and 8,239,049 shares underlying the conversion option of the Notes, as well as the underlying shares associated with the capped call transactions, were not considered in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the combined effect would be anti-dilutive for the periods ending June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

m.Contractual Purchase Obligations:

The Company has a contractual minimum purchase commitment with a service provider through August 31, 2027 totaling $2,043 due in the next 12 months and $21,000 due thereafter, and an additional contractual minimum purchase commitment with another service provider through May 31, 2031 totaling $46,700 due in the next 12 months and $377,620 due thereafter, with no specified annual commitments.

n.Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU on its annual disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires, among other items, additional disaggregated disclosures in the notes to the financial statements for certain categories of expenses that are included in the consolidated statements of operations. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and
may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU on its disclosures.
