Rapid7 reported revenue of $212 million for Q3 2026, down 3% from a year earlier (Rapid7, Nov 4, 2026).

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Rapid7 published the results on November 4, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Rapid7 reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and non-GAAP, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

  • Q3 2026 results include $10.0 million of restructuring expense from the 2026 Restructuring Plan, which cuts Rapid7's workforce by about 12%, and a $5.5 million impairment of a strategic equity investment. Both are excluded from non-GAAP results.
  • Rapid7 reports in thousands; figures here are in millions.

RPD revenue by segment

How Rapid7 splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

Revenue by typeQ3 2026Q3 2025Change
Product subscriptions$206 million$210 milliondown 2%
Professional services$6.3 million$7.8 milliondown 19%
  • Rapid7's Product subscriptions revenue was $206 million in Q3 2026, down 2% from $210 million in Q3 2025, 97% of total revenue.
  • Rapid7's Professional services revenue was $6.3 million in Q3 2026, down 19% from $7.8 million in Q3 2025, 3% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

Rapid7's outlook for Q4 and full year 2026

Rapid7 gives its outlook as a table in the release: Q4 2026 revenue of $208 to $210 million and full-year 2026 revenue of $841 to $843 million, ARR of approximately $812 million, and non-GAAP EPS of $0.53 to $0.55 for Q4 and $1.94 to $1.96 for the year.

Past Rapid7 quarterly reports

Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.

  • Q3 2026 (this page), reported Nov 4, 2026

What Rapid7's revenue is made of

Rapid7's total revenue fell 2.5% to $212.4 million in Q3 2026, from $218.0 million a year earlier. Product subscriptions were $206.1 million, down 1.9%, and professional services were $6.3 million, down 19.1%. (Rapid7 Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026; Rapid7 Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)

Product subscriptions cover cloud-based subscriptions, managed services such as managed detection and response (MDR), term software licenses, content subscriptions and maintenance. Professional services are deployment and training, incident response, penetration testing and security advisory work. (Rapid7 Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 10, 2026)

Rapid7's 10-Q says revenue fell mainly because of lower exposure management revenue and, to a lesser degree, its non-core and standalone products, partly offset by growth in detection and response. In Q3 the decline in non-core and standalone revenue was larger than in earlier quarters. Professional services fell mainly on lower penetration-testing revenue. (Rapid7 Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)

Customers in the United States generated $147.3 million of revenue in the quarter, down from $154.8 million, while the rest of the world rose to $65.1 million from $63.2 million. No single customer, including channel partners, accounted for 10% or more of total revenue in 2025. (Rapid7 Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026; Rapid7 Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 10, 2026)

Remaining performance obligations were $527.1 million for the next twelve months and $281.4 million after that, at September 30, 2026. (Rapid7 Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)

What Rapid7's EPS includes

Rapid7's GAAP diluted EPS was $0.05 in Q3 2026, against $0.15 a year earlier, on net income of $3.5 million. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.60, up from $0.57, on non-GAAP net income of $47.4 million. (Rapid7 Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)

Non-GAAP results exclude stock-based compensation ($23.2 million in the quarter), amortization of acquired intangible assets ($4.0 million), restructuring expense ($10.0 million), the $5.5 million impairment of a strategic equity investment and amortization of debt issuance costs ($1.1 million). The restructuring belongs to the 2026 Restructuring Plan, which reduces the workforce by about 12% and is expected to be substantially complete by the end of Q4 2026. The impairment wrote off a SAFE investment that Rapid7 judged fully impaired. (Rapid7 Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026; Rapid7 Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 4, 2026)

The two EPS figures also use different share counts. GAAP diluted EPS used 70,172,655 weighted shares, while the non-GAAP figure used 80,602,546, because it adds 10,429,891 shares for the convertible senior notes on an if-converted basis. GAAP operating expenses fell to $138.9 million from $147.1 million, with sales and marketing down to $65.6 million from $79.3 million. (Rapid7 Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Consensus and guidance at Rapid7

Rapid7 publishes a numeric outlook in its release. For Q4 2026 it expects revenue of $208 to $210 million, a decline of 3% to 4%, non-GAAP income from operations of $40 to $42 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.53 to $0.55. For full year 2026 it expects revenue of $841 to $843 million, non-GAAP EPS of $1.94 to $1.96, ARR of approximately $812 million and free cash flow of approximately $130 million. (Rapid7 Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)

The guidance excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring and other items, and Rapid7 does not reconcile it to GAAP on a forward-looking basis. (Rapid7 Q3 2026 release, Nov 4, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Rapid7, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

How to check RPD's figures yourself

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Rapid7 published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

  • The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
  • The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
  • The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
  • Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.

+

Rapid7 reported revenue of $212 million for Q3 2026, the quarter ended September 30, 2026, against $218 million in Q3 2025 (down 3%). The figures come from Rapid7's results release of November 4, 2026.

What were RPD's earnings per share for Q3 2026?

+

Diluted EPS was $0.05 on a GAAP basis, against $0.15 a year earlier. On Rapid7's non-GAAP basis it was $0.60, against $0.57. The two differ because the adjusted figure leaves out items the company treats as outside its operating results; the release reconciles one to the other.

What guidance did Rapid7 give for Q4 and full year 2026?

+

Rapid7 gives its outlook as a table in the release: Q4 2026 revenue of $208 to $210 million and full-year 2026 revenue of $841 to $843 million, ARR of approximately $812 million, and non-GAAP EPS of $0.53 to $0.55 for Q4 and $1.94 to $1.96 for the year.

That is the company's own outlook as of Nov 4, 2026, and companies revise outlooks as the quarter goes on.

When does RPD report earnings next?

+

We do not hold a confirmed date for Rapid7's next report. Companies announce the date on their investor relations site a few weeks ahead, usually with the time of the call.

Where does Rapid7's revenue come from?

+

Rapid7's Product subscriptions revenue was $206 million in Q3 2026, down 2% from $210 million in Q3 2025, 97% of total revenue. Rapid7's Professional services revenue was $6.3 million in Q3 2026, down 19% from $7.8 million in Q3 2025, 3% of total revenue. These are the lines of Rapid7's own "revenue by type" table for Q3 2026.

How much did Rapid7's revenue grow last quarter?

+

Down 3% on the year: $212 million in Q3 2026 against $218 million in Q3 2025. That is the year-over-year comparison, the same quarter a year apart, so seasonal patterns in Rapid7's business do not distort it.

What is the difference between Rapid7's GAAP and non-GAAP EPS?

+

GAAP EPS follows US accounting rules and is the figure in the audited statements. Rapid7's non-GAAP EPS starts from it and removes items the company considers outside its operating results; the release lists each adjustment in a reconciliation table. For Q3 2026 the two were $0.05 and $0.60. Analysts' EPS estimates are usually built on the adjusted figure, so check which one a headline compares before you repeat it.

Where do the RPD numbers on this page come from?

+

From Rapid7's own results release and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, copied as printed, in millions of US dollars. Percent changes are worked out from those figures and rounded to a whole percent, which matches how the release states them. Nothing on this page is an estimate except the consensus, which is labelled with its source and date.
