HERZLIYA, Israel - Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ:CGNT) has secured a follow-on contract valued at over $5 million with a tier-1 military organization in the Europe-Middle East-Africa region, the company announced Wednesday.

The annual subscription-based agreement comes shortly after an initial contract of approximately $10 million signed earlier this year with the same customer. The military client is expanding its investment in Cognyte’s tactical SIGINT (signals intelligence) solutions. This expansion aligns with the company’s impressive 14% year-over-year revenue growth and robust 71% gross profit margin.

According to the company, the rapid expansion demonstrates the effectiveness of its "land-and-expand" strategy, where initial deployments lead to additional business opportunities.

"Winning a second contract so quickly after the first highlights the trust customers place in Cognyte’s ability to deliver significant value as their needs grow," said Efi Nuri, Chief Revenue Officer at Cognyte.

The solutions are designed to provide frontline military teams with intelligence capabilities for real-time decision making in field operations, addressing the need for agility against evolving threats.

David Abadi, Chief Financial Officer at Cognyte, noted that many of the company’s customers are scaling and upgrading their deployments over time, which he claims contributes to long-term growth.
