Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Nature of Business

Fastly, Inc. is an edge cloud platform that can process, serve, and secure its customers' applications as close to their end users as possible. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 2011 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

As used herein, “Fastly,” “the Company,” “its,” and similar terms include Fastly, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2026. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include its accounts and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of its quarterly results. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. Actual results and outcomes could differ significantly from the Company’s estimates, judgments, and assumptions. Significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, those related to revenue, accounts receivable and related reserves, internal-use software development costs, the incremental borrowing rate related to the Company’s lease liabilities, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during business combinations, useful lives of property and equipment and acquired intangible assets, financial instruments, income tax reserves, and accounting for stock-based compensation. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. The effects of material revisions in estimates are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period of change and prospectively from the date of the change in estimate.

The Company has implemented software and hardware initiatives to manage its global network more efficiently and has determined, effective January 1, 2026, that the effective useful life of its servers has increased from five years tosix years, As a result depreciation expense as well as net loss decreased by $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to those described in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2024-03 “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which aims to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The guidance is effective for the Company's annual periods beginning in 2027 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04 “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments,” which amends ASC 470-202 to clarify the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. The guidance is effective for the Company's annual periods beginning in 2026 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. Adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which aims to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance is effective for the Company's interim and annual periods beginning in 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities primarily consisted of money market funds, investment-grade commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, U.S. treasury securities, municipal bonds, agency bonds, and certificates of deposit. The primary focus of its investment strategy is to preserve capital and meet liquidity requirements. The Company’s investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution or commercial issuer. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents to the extent recorded in the balance sheets.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are primarily limited to certain customers to which the Company makes substantial sales. The Company’s customer base consists of a large number of geographically dispersed customers diversified across several industries.

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. No affiliated customers that are business units of a single company generated more than 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the total accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. No affiliated customers that are business units of a single company generated an aggregate of more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

  1. Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue by geography is based on the billing address of the customer. Aside from the United States, no other single country accounted for more than 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The following table presents the Company’s net revenue by geographic region:

Three months ended March 31,

(in thousands)
United States$122,866$110,531
All other countries50,15533,943
Total revenue$173,021$144,474

The Company reports its revenue bythree product lines: Network Services, Security, and Other. Network Services include solutions designed to improve performance of websites, apps, application programming interfaces (“APIs”), and digital media. Security includes products designed to protect websites, apps, APIs, and users. Other includes Compute solutions that allow developers to build and deploy modern web applications on Fastly's edge cloud platform and Observability solutions that provide real-time logs, data, and metrics streamed from Fastly's edge platform for actionable insights.

Total revenue$173,021$144,474

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company’s payment terms and conditions vary by contract type and generally range from 30 to 90 days.

The Company records a contract asset, or unbilled receivable, when a contractual right to consideration exists for both completed and partially completed performance obligations that may not have been invoiced. Contract assets are typically related to the Company's subscription services and platform usage. Contract assets are included in accounts receivable, net on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company records a contract liability, or deferred revenue, when a contract is billed to customers in advance of revenue being recognized. Deferred revenue primarily consists of the unearned portions of billings for the Company’s security subscription services and the unearned portion of committed edge cloud platform usage. Contract liabilities are included in deferred revenue for the current portion and other long term liabilities for the long-term portion on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and as of December 31, 2025:

As of March 31, 2026As of December 31, 2025
(in thousands)
Contract assets$1,953$1,668
Contract liabilities$42,701$40,819

The following table presents revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 from amounts included in contract liability at the beginning of the period:

Three months ended March 31,
20262025
(in thousands)
Revenue recognized in the period from amounts included in contract liability at the beginning of the period$14,567$11,594

Remaining Performance Obligations (“RPO”)

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents deferred revenue and amounts that were and will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods for non-cancelable subscription arrangements and usage commitments. The Company’s RPO excludes performance obligations from on-demand arrangements when there are no minimum purchase commitments associated with these arrangements.

As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price in our contracts allocated to remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $368.7 million. This amount includes future committed revenue for periods within current contracts with customers, as well as deferred revenue arising from consideration invoiced for which the related performance obligations have not been satisfied. As of March 31, 2026, the Company expects to recognize approximately 75% of its remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months. The Company’s typical contractual term with its customers is one year, although terms may vary by contract.

  1. Investments and Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash held in banks, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities, and are therefore excluded from the fair value tables below.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There is a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which require management judgment or estimation.

The Company measures its cash equivalents and marketable securities at fair value. The Company classifies its cash equivalents and marketable securities within Level 1 or Level 2 because the Company values these investments using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.

The Company classifies its investments, which are comprised of corporate notes and bonds, commercial paper, U.S. treasury securities, certificates of deposit, and municipal securities within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value of these securities is priced by using inputs based on non-binding market consensus prices that are primarily corroborated by observable market data or quoted market prices for similar instruments. Financial assets and liabilities are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following table summarizes adjusted cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value related to cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The contractual maturities of the Company's marketable securities are all due in one year or less as of March 31, 2026. There were no transfers of assets and liabilities measured at fair value between Level 1 and Level 2, or between Level 2 and Level 3, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not record any impairment charges for its marketable debt securities in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. No impairment loss has been recorded on the securities as the Company does not intend to sell any impaired securities, nor is it more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell impaired securities before recovery of amortized cost basis.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities Credit Agreement

On February 16, 2021, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facilities Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, restructured, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, as a lender and as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a $60.0 million senior secured revolving facility, with a maturity date of the earlier of (i) April 30, 2027 and (ii) so long as any of our permitted convertible debt is outstanding after January 30, 2027 and if Net Liquidity is less than $200.0 million (or, if the amount of outstanding permitted convertible debt is less than $35.0 million, $120.0 million), such date. The Company recorded $0.6 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Agreement in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The revolving loans bear interest, at the Company’s election, at an annual rate based on the ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.00% (such loans, the “ABR Loans”) or the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.00% (such loans, the “SOFR Loans”).

Interest payments on outstanding borrowings are due, with respect to SOFR Loans, on the last day of each interest period and with respect to ABR Loans, on the last calendar day of each month. The Credit Agreement has a commitment fee on the unused portion of the borrowing commitment, which is payable on the last day of each calendar quarter at a rate per annum of 0.20% to 0.25% depending on the average daily outstanding balance of all loans and letters of credit under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a consolidated adjusted quick ratio of at least 1.25 to 1:00 tested on a quarterly basis as well as a springing revenue growth covenant not to be less than 5% on a quarterly basis for certain periods if the Company’s consolidated adjusted quick ratio falls below 1.75 to 1:00 on the last day of any fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants, and contains customary events of default.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all of the Credit Agreement’s covenants. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no amounts were drawn down on the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Convertible Senior Notes

On March 5, 2021, the Company issued approximately $948.8 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible unsecured senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), including the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase up to an additional approximately $123.8 million principal amount of the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes were issued in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes were approximately $930.0 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and transaction costs.

On May 25, 2022, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Notes to repurchase (the “Repurchases”) $235.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes for an aggregate cash repurchase price of $176.4 million and aggregate transaction costs of $0.7 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into several separate privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Notes to repurchase $367.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes for an aggregate cash repurchase price of $309.1 million and aggregate transaction costs of $2.0 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Notes to exchange $157.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes for $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% convertible unsecured senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), which were issued in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior unsecured notes due in 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Concurrently with issuance of the 2030 Notes, the Company also entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Notes to repurchase $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes for an aggregate cash repurchase price of $148.9 million. The repurchase was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and resulted in a net gain of $0.9 million, which was recorded as non-operating income on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the 2026 Notes matured and were repaid in full.

(2) During thefive business day period after anyfive consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the respective Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or

(3) Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after the respective conversion date, as noted in the table below, holders may convert all or any portion of their respective Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election.

The conversion rights of the Notes are as follows:

2028 NotesMarch 1, 202850.6586$19.74
2030 NotesSeptember 16, 203065.5136$15.26

(1) The conversion rate for the Notes is established as a number of shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, that is equivalent to the conversion price per share, subject to adjustments in certain events. Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Notes.

The circumstances described in paragraph (1) above were met for the 2030 Notes during the first quarter of 2026 and as a result, the 2030 Notes are convertible at the option of the holder from April 1, 2026 until June 30, 2026.

Carrying Value of the Notes as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, interest expense related to the Company’s debt obligations was $3.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total estimated fair value of the Notes was $653.3 million and $379.5 million, respectively.

Capped Calls

In connection with the pricing of the issuance of the 2030 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (the "Capped Calls") in the year ended December 31, 2025. The Capped Calls associated with the 2030 Notes each had an initial strike price of approximately $15.26 per share. These Capped Calls had initial cap prices of $23.04 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls are expected to partially offset the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 2030 Notes, with such offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The Capped Calls are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified extraordinary events affecting the Company, including merger events, tender offers and the announcement of such events. In addition, the Capped Calls are subject to certain specified additional disruption events that may give rise to a termination of the Capped Calls, including nationalization, insolvency or delisting, changes in law, failures to deliver, increased cost of hedging and hedging disruptions. For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are separate transactions and not part of the terms of the 2030 Notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders' equity resulting in an $18.2 million decrease in additional paid in capital as of December 31, 2025.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had long-term commitments for cost of revenue related agreements (i.e., bandwidth usage, peering and other managed services with various networks, fixed asset vendors, Internet service providers and other third-party vendors). The Company also has non-cost of revenue long-term commitments for various non-cancelable agreements.

Aside from the Company’s finance and operating lease commitments, including its colocation operating commitments, which have been disclosed in Note 6 — Leases, the minimum future commitments related to the Company's purchase commitments as of March 31, 2026 were as follows:

Sales and Use Tax

The Company conducts its operations in many tax jurisdictions throughout the United States. In some of these jurisdictions the Company is subject to indirect taxes, such as sales and use taxes, and may be subject to certain other taxes. The Company has recorded a provision for its tax exposure in these jurisdictions when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the exposure can be reasonably estimated. The Company has accrued $5.2 million and $4.8 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, for sales and use tax. These estimates are based on several key assumptions, including the taxability of the Company’s operations and the jurisdictions in which the Company believes it has nexus. In the event these jurisdictions challenge the Company’s assumptions and analysis, its actual exposure could differ materially from its current estimates.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company has been and may be subject to legal proceedings and claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable. The Company accrues for contingencies when it believes that a loss is probable and that the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of any such loss.

On May 24, 2024, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Ken Kula v. Fastly, Inc., et al.(Case No. 4:24-cv-03170), naming the Company and certain of its officers as defendants. Motions for lead plaintiff were filed on July 23, 2024. On August 22, 2024, the court appointed lead plaintiff (“Lead Plaintiff”) and lead counsel. On November 1, 2024, Lead Plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act purportedly on behalf of all those who purchased or acquired Fastly securities between November 15, 2023 and August 7, 2024. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, and other relief. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on January 15, 2025. Lead Plaintiff filed an opposition to the defendants’ motion to dismiss on March 17, 2025. Defendants filed a reply in support of the motion to dismiss on April 30, 2025. On September 24, 2025, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the motion to dismiss. On October 24, 2025, Lead Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. On December 9, 2025, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. On January 26, 2026, Lead Plaintiff filed an opposition. Defendants filed a reply in support of the motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on February 19, 2026. A hearing scheduled for April 30, 2026 on Defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended complaint was vacated, and the Company is awaiting a ruling on the motion. It is possible that additional lawsuits will be filed, or allegations made by stockholders, regarding these same or other matters and also naming as defendants the Company and its officers and directors.

On June 12, 2024, certain of the Company’s officers and directors were named as defendants in a stockholder derivative action filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Roy v. Nightingale, et al. (Case No. 3:24-cv-03549-JCS). On July 1, 2024, a stockholder derivative complaint was also filed against certain of the Company's officers and directors in the same court, captioned Steffens v. Nightingale et al. (Case No. 4:24-cv-03984-DMR). The derivative complaints are based on substantially similar allegations as those in the securities class action. The derivative complaints assert that defendants breached their fiduciary duties as directors and/or officers of the Company, as well as claims of unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, aiding and abetting, violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act. The court consolidated and stayed the derivative actions until after resolution of the Company’s motion(s) to dismiss in the above-referenced securities class action. On August 23, 2024, a substantially similar stockholder derivative complaint was filed against certain of the Company’s officers and directors in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned Sweitzer v. Nightingale, et al. (Case No. 1:24-cv-00969-GBW) (the “Sweitzer Action”). On September 26, 2024, the court stayed the Sweitzer Action until after resolution of the Company's motion(s) to dismiss in the above-referenced securities class action. On December 20, 2024, a substantially similar stockholder derivative complaint was filed against certain of the Company’s officers and directors in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware, captioned Bushansky v. Nightingale, et al. (Case No. 2024-1322) (the “Bushansky Action”). On January 8, 2025, the court stayed the Bushansky Action until after resolution of the Company’s motion(s) to dismiss in the above-referenced securities class action. It is possible that additional lawsuits will be filed, or allegations made by stockholders, regarding these same or other matters and also naming as defendants the Company and its officers and directors.

The Company is also party to various disputes that management considers routine and incidental to its business. Management does not expect the results of any of these routine actions to have a material effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial conditions, or cash flows.

The pending lawsuits and any other related lawsuits are subject to inherent uncertainties, and the actual defense and disposition costs will depend upon many unknown factors. The outcome of the pending lawsuits and any other related lawsuits is necessarily uncertain. The Company could be forced to expend significant resources in the defense of the pending lawsuits and any additional lawsuits, and it may not prevail. In addition, the Company may incur substantial legal fees and costs in connection with such lawsuits. The Company is not currently able to estimate the possible cost to it from these matters, as the pending lawsuits are currently at an early stage, and it cannot be certain how long it may take to resolve the pending lawsuits or the possible amount of any damages that it may be required to pay. Such amounts could be material to the Company's financial statements if the Company does not prevail in the defense against the pending lawsuits and any other related lawsuits, or even if it does prevail.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not recorded any significant accruals for loss contingencies associated with the above mentioned lawsuits as it does not believe an outcome resulting in a loss is probable. It will accrue for loss contingencies if it becomes both probable that it will incur a loss and if the Company can reasonably estimate the amount or range of the loss.

Indemnification

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s business partners or customers, in connection with its provision of its services. Generally, these obligations are limited to claims relating to infringement of a patent, copyright, or other intellectual property right, breach of the Company’s security or data protection obligations, or its negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of law. Subject to applicable statutes of limitation, the term of these indemnification agreements is generally for the duration of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company carries insurance that covers certain third-party claims relating to the Company’s services and could limit its exposure in that respect.

The Company has agreed to indemnify each of its officers and directors during his or her lifetime for certain events or occurrences that happen by reason of the fact that the officer or director is, was, or has agreed to serve as an officer or director of the Company. The Company has director and officer insurance policies that may limit its exposure and may enable it to recover a portion of certain future amounts paid.

To date, the Company has not encountered material costs as a result of such indemnification obligations and has not accrued any related liabilities in its financial statements. In assessing whether to establish an accrual, the Company considers such factors as the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss.

  1. Stockholders' Equity

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company maintains five equity incentive plans: the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”), 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), the Signal Sciences Corp. 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan, as amended (the “Signal Plan”), and the 2025 Employment Inducement Incentive Plan (the "2025 Inducement Plan"). The 2019 Plan became effective in May 2019 and replaced the 2011 Plan. The Company’s 2019 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based stock awards, and other forms of equity compensation, which are collectively referred to as stock awards to its employees, directors, and consultants. The Signal Plan includes 251,754 registered shares which can be exercised to purchase shares of Fastly’s common stock. The 2025 Inducement Plan provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock units, performance based stock awards, and other forms of equity compensation.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 8.9 million and 5.8 million shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, a total of 0.3 million shares and 0.5 million shares were available for grant under the 2025 Inducement Plan, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025,156.4 million and 151.5 million shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

The Company began granting RSUs under the 2019 Plan during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 as well as under the 2025 Inducement Plan during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The fair value of RSUs is based on the grant date fair value and is expensed on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period. RSUs granted to new hires typically vest over three orfour years, at the rate of 33% or 25%, respectively, on the first anniversary of the vesting start date and ratably on a quarterly basis over the remaining 24-month or 36-month period thereafter, respectively. RSUs granted to existing employees typically vest in equal quarterly installments over athree orfour-year service period. All vesting is contingent on continued service. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

The following table summarizes RSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2026:

Number of SharesWeighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
(in thousands)
Unvested RSUs as of December 31, 202514,001$8.25

Unvested RSUs as of March 31, 202613,549$9.39

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of $22.6 million and $21.9 million, respectively.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”)

Performance Stock Awards for Executive Officers (“Executive PSUs”)

Pursuant to the Company’s 2019 Plan, the Company grants certain employees shares of Executive PSUs, which are to vest based on the level of achievement of certain Company-wide targets related to the Company’s operating plan for the relevant fiscal year. The Company has accounted for these awards as equity-based awards and will recognize stock-based compensation expense over the employees’ requisite service period based on the expected attainment of the Company-wide targets as of the end of each reporting period.

(in thousands)
Nonvested PSUs as of December 31, 20251,445$7.08

Nonvested PSUs as of March 31, 20261,852$14.35

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $2.0 million and $0.8 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards, respectively.

Company-wide Bonus Program (“Bonus Program”)

In February 2025, the Compensation Committee approved a Bonus Program, including performance targets, to most of the Company’s employees on active payroll in fiscal year 2025 (“2025 Bonus Program”). Shares awarded under the program were paid out in February 2026 in fully vested RSUs and based on the final attainment of Company-wide performance targets which were tied to its operating plan for fiscal year 2025. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense over the employees' requisite service period, based on the final attainment of the Company-wide targets. In February 2026, the Company paid out 2.2 million restricted stock units associated with the 2025 Bonus Program, and correspondingly recorded a charge to additional paid-in-capital of $39.5 million.

In February 2026, the Compensation Committee approved a Bonus Program, including performance targets, for the current fiscal year to most of the Company’s employees on active payroll in fiscal year 2026 (“2026 Bonus Program”). Shares awarded under the program will be in fully vested RSUs and will be based on the final attainment of Company-wide performance targets which are tied to its operating plan for fiscal year 2026. The payout of the 2026 Bonus Program will vary linearly between 50%,100%, and 150% based on the achievement of these targets. Employees are required to be employed through the payout date to earn the awards. The Company has accounted for these awards as liability-based awards, since the monetary value of the obligation associated with the award is based predominantly on a fixed monetary amount known at inception, and it has an unconditional obligation that it must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares. The Company is recognizing the stock-based compensation expense over the employees requisite service period, based on the expected attainment of the Company-wide targets as of the end of each reporting period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $8.5 million and $3.7 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with the Bonus Programs, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their eligible compensation. The ESPP provides forsix-month offering periods, commencing in May and November of each year. At the end of each offering period employees are able to purchase shares at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the date of purchase.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $0.9 million and $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP, respectively. No common stock was issued under the ESPP in either of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

  1. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by basic weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, including potentially dilutive securities.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock:

  1. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period.

The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on the Company’s U.S. Federal and state net deferred tax assets.

In the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $4.1 million and income tax expense of $0.7 million, respectively. The tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to the recognition of a previously unrecognized tax benefit of $4.3 million which resulted from the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations in the UK. The tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to foreign tax expense.
