Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include accounts of the Company and all wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2025, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and stockholders' deficit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and related reserves, useful lives and realizability of long-lived assets, capitalized internal-use software development costs, accounting for stock-based compensation including estimation of the probability of performance vesting conditions, the incremental borrowing rate used to determine lease liabilities, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, fair value of financial instruments, and the fair value and useful lives of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulting from business combinations. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Estimates are periodically reviewed to consider changes in circumstances, facts and experience.
Restricted Cash
The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash per the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
| September 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $236,561 | $439,872 |
| Restricted cash(1) | — | 1,747 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $236,561 | $441,619 |
(1) Restricted cash as of September 30, 2024 consisted of deposits in financial institutions related to a letter of credit used to secure a lease agreement; the funds were released to the Company in September 2025.
Accounts Receivable Net of Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
Accounts receivable primarily represents revenue recognized that was not invoiced at the balance sheet date and is primarily billed and collected in the following month. Trade accounts receivable are carried at the original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for expected credit losses based on the probability of future collection. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical loss patterns, the number of days that customer invoices are past due, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments over historical loss data, and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with specific accounts. When management becomes aware of circumstances that may further decrease the likelihood of collection, it records a specific allowance against amounts due, which reduces the receivable to the amount that management reasonably believes will be collected. The Company records changes in the estimate to the allowance for expected credit losses through provision for expected credit losses and reverses the accounts receivable and related allowance after the potential for recovery is considered remote.
The following table presents the changes in the allowance for expected credit losses for the period presented:
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $5,940 |
| Provision for expected credit losses | 13,337 |
| Write-offs and other | (12,843) |
| Balance as of September 30, 2025 | $6,434 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) ("ASU No. 2024-04"), which intends to clarify the conditions in which induced conversion applies to convertible debt by outlining three criteria that must be met for an entity to apply the induced conversion model. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 (and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods). Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a reporting period if an entity has also adopted ASU 2020-06 for that period. The Company early adopted ASU 2024-04 on July 1, 2025 on a prospective basis and applied the amendments in this ASU to the repurchase of the 2026 Convertible Notes. The early adoption had no impact on the Company’s accounting assessment. Refer to Note 6. Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Pending Adoption
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 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, ASU 2023-09 requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“Subtopic 220-40”): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“Subtopic 220-40”): Clarifying the Effective Date. ASU 2024-03 requires that an entity breaks down expenses into specific categories, such as employee compensation and costs related to depreciation and amortization, as well as a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. Further, ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expense and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. As clarified in ASU 2025-01, the amendments in ASU 2024-03 are required to be adopted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis for financial statements issued after the adoption date, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“Topic 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”), which amends Topic 326 to provide a practical expedient and an accounting policy election related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. Specifically, in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, all entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (“Subtopic 350-40”): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by increasing the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3. Revenue
Revenue Disaggregation
Based on the information provided to and reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), its chief operating decision maker, the Company believes that the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows and how they are affected by economic factors is most appropriately depicted based on the category of its customers. Customers are classified in the following categories based on the amount of their spend in a given month and individual customers may fall within different categories within a reporting period:
Builders: users that spend more than $50 and less than or equal to $500 in a month.
Scalers: users that spend more than $500 and less than or equal to $8,333 in a month.
Scalers+: users that spend more than $8,333 in a month.
Learners and Testers: users that spend less than or equal to $50 in a month. Learners are users that have been on the Company’s platform for more than three months. Testers are users that have been on the Company’s platform forthree months or less.
Revenue by customer category, as determined based on the customers’ spend in a given month, was as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | ||||

Revenue derived from customers in the United States was 34% and 32% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 33% and 32% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue was $8,587 and $5,397 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $325 and $441, respectively, and $3,210 and $3,375 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each respective period.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash, and trade accounts receivable are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. Although the
Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with multiple financial institutions, the deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes that the financial institutions that hold its cash and cash equivalents are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances.
The Company’s customer base consists of a significant number of geographically dispersed customers. No customer represented 10% or more of accounts receivable, net as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Additionally, no customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company has performance obligations associated with commitments in customer contracts for future services that have not yet been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was $47,413, which is expected to be recognized as revenue over the remaining life of the contracts. The weighted-average remaining life of these contracts is 1.7 years. The Company has applied the optional exemption to exclude contracts with an original expected term of one year or less from this amount.
Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

Note 6. Debt
2030 Convertible Notes
On August 14, 2025, the Company issued $625,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (“2030 Convertible Notes”) in a private offering, including the exercise in full of the option granted to the initial purchasers to purchase an additional $75,000 principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes. The net proceeds from this offering were $606,077 after deducting underwriting fees, expenses and other debt issuance costs of $18,923. The 2030 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and do not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes does not accrete. Special interest and additional interest, if any, will be payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2026 (if and to the extent that special interest and/or additional interest is then payable on the 2030 Convertible Notes). The 2030 Convertible Notes will mature on August 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
The 2030 Convertible Notes do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
The following table presents details of the 2030 Convertible Notes:
| Initial Conversion Rate per $1,000 Principal | Initial Conversion Price(In whole $) | Initial Number of Shares (In thousands) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2030 Convertible Notes | 25.5317 | $39.17 | 15,957 |
Holders may convert the 2030 Convertible Notes at their option only in the following circumstances:
(1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2025, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
(2) during thefive consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (such 10 consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;
(3) if the Company calls the 2030 Convertible Notes for redemption; and
(4) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions of the Company’s common stock, as described in the indenture governing the 2030 Convertible Notes.
On or after May 15, 2030 until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, holders may convert, all or any portion of their 2030 Convertible Notes at any time, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy the conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, none of the circumstances allowing holders to convert the 2030 Convertible Notes were met. Since the Company has the election of settling any conversion of the 2030 Convertible Notes in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of both, the 2030 Convertible Notes have been classified as a noncurrent liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025.
The Company may not redeem the 2030 Notes prior to August 15, 2028. The Company may redeem, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at its option at any time, and from time to time, on a redemption date on or after August 15, 2028 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. However, the Company may not elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding 2030 Convertible Notes unless at least $100,000 aggregate principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes are outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice.
In the event of a corporate event that constitutes a “fundamental change" (as defined in the indenture governing the 2030 Convertible Notes), holders of the 2030 Convertible Notes will have the right, at their option to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of the 2030 Convertible Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, or if the Company issues a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2030 Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be.
2030 Capped Calls
In connection with the pricing and exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase additional 2030 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with one or more financial institutions, including an affiliate of an Initial Purchaser (“2030 Capped Calls”). The 2030 Capped Calls have an initial strike price of
$39.17 per share, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2030 Convertible Notes. The 2030 Capped Calls have an initial cap price of $66.51 per share, which represents a premium of 125% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock of $29.56 per share on the New York Stock Exchange on August 11, 2025. The 2030 Capped Calls are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 2030 Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2030 Convertible Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to the cap price. The strike price, cap price and other terms of the 2030 Capped Calls are subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.
For accounting purposes, the 2030 Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not part of the terms of the 2030 Convertible Notes. As the 2030 Capped Calls qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting for instruments that are both indexed to the issuer's own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets, premium paid for the purchase of the 2030 Capped Calls of $83,875 was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will not be remeasured. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $18,930 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as it made an income tax election allowable under Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulations to recover the cost of the Capped Calls as interest expense for income tax purposes over the term of the 2030 Convertible Notes.
As of September 30, 2025, all of the 2030 Capped Calls remain outstanding.
2025 Credit Facility
On May 5, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, DigitalOcean, LLC, as borrower (the “Borrower”), with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $500,000 senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”, and any loans thereunder “Term Loans”) and a $300,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”, and any loans thereunder “Revolving Loans”) which includes a $30,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit (collectively the “2025 Credit Facility”). The Term Loan Facility and Revolving Facility mature on May 5, 2030, and are subject to a springing maturity date in the event certain conditions occur as described in the Credit Agreement. Revolving Loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed, until their maturity date. Term Loans may be borrowed between May 5, 2025 and February 5, 2026 and once borrowed and repaid, cannot be reborrowed.
The Term Loans and Revolving Loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (i) term SOFR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% per annum based on the total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or (ii) a base rate equal to the highest of (x) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (y) the prime rate and (z) term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% per annum based on the total net leverage ratio. Undrawn commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility are subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.175% to 0.35% per annum based on the total net leverage ratio on the average daily unused portion of such commitment that is available to the Borrower.

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation
Equity Incentive Plan
In March 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and the stockholders approved, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan is a successor to and continuation of the 2013 Stock Plan. The 2021 Plan became effective on the date of the IPO with no further grants being made under the 2013 Stock Plan, however, awards outstanding under the 2013 Stock Plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSUs, PRSUs, MRSUs and other awards to employees, directors, and consultants. Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of these awards are transferable by the holder. There were 24,959,971 shares available for grant under the 2021 Plan as of September 30, 2025.
RSUs and PRSUs
RSUs granted typically vest over four years. The Company has issued PRSUs which vest based on the achievement of each award’s established performance targets. Depending on the actual financial metrics achieved relative to the target financial metrics throughout the defined performance period of the award, the number of LTIP PRSUs that vest could range from 0% to 200% of the target amount and are subject to the Compensation Committee’s approval of the level of achievement against the approved performance targets.
Assuming the minimum performance level is achieved, one-third of the aggregate number of the achieved LTIP PRSUs shall vest on the later of (i) March 1 of the year after grant or (ii)two trading days following the public release of the Company’s financial results, and the remainder shall vest ineight equal quarterly installments subject, in each case, to the individual’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date.
On April 11, 2024, the Company granted an LTIP PRSU award (“2024 LTIP PRSU”). The financial performance level under the PRSUs was equal to the sum of the attainment of revenue targets weighted at 75% and adjusted free cash flow margin targets weighted at 25%. On February 18, 2025, the Company determined that the 2024 LTIP PRSU was achieved at 94.8% of the target amount. This resulted in a performance factor reduction of 88,865 shares from the original maximum shares achievable of 168,944. The target shares granted under the 2024 LTIP PRSU was 84,472.
On April 25, 2025, the Company granted LTIP PRSU awards (“2025 LTIP PRSUs”). The financial performance level under the 2025 LTIP PRSUs can be attained based on the achievement of certain annual run-rate revenue (“ARR”) and adjusted free cash flow margin targets. Under the 2025 LTIP PRSUs,75% of the awards can be achieved based on the ARR targets and 25% of the awards can be achieved based on the adjusted free cash flow margin targets. The target shares granted under the 2025 LTIP PRSUs were 218,486. The actual number of shares that are received under the 2025 LTIP
PRSUs may be higher or lower than the target shares based on the actual financial metrics achieved relative to the target financial metrics for fiscal year 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, there was $137,094 of unrecognized stock-based compensation, net of estimated forfeitures, related to outstanding RSUs, that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

Note 11. Income Taxes
The computation of the provision for, or benefit from, income taxes for an interim period is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective tax rate and records a year-to-date adjustment to the tax provision as necessary.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded tax benefit of $68,057 and $59,460, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was (75.4)% and (34.1)%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance on U.S and state deferred tax assets.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $3,308 and tax expense of $2,479, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was
(11.2)% and 3.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of having a full valuation allowance in the U.S., the mix of income in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business, and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and utilization of research and development credits.
The Company regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. In making this assessment, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2025, based on all available positive and negative evidence, having demonstrated sustained U.S. profitability which is objective and verifiable, and taking into account anticipated future earnings, the Company has concluded it is more likely than not that its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets will be realizable. As a result of this change in assertion, the Company released the full valuation allowance that was reserved as of December 31, 2024. The release of the valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets in the U.S. resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets and income tax benefit in the current period.
When a change in valuation allowance is recognized during an interim period, the change in valuation allowance resulting from current year income is included in the annual effective tax rate and the release of valuation allowance supported by projections of future taxable income is recorded as a discrete tax benefit in the interim period. The Company released $69,939 of its valuation allowance as a discrete tax benefit during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Pillar Two guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax of 15%. Based on current enacted legislation, the Company is not subject to Pillar Two tax since the Company’s revenue is currently below the threshold. The Company is monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on its future income tax provision and effective income tax rate.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company adopted the modifications to the capitalization of research and development expenses and changes to calculations for the limitation on deductions for interest expense for the period ended September 30, 2025, which did not have a material impact.
