Key Terms

remaining performance obligations financial

Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.

rpo financial

Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) is the total value of contracted revenue not yet delivered or recognized. It includes deferred revenue and backlog from signed contracts. RPO shows investors how much future revenue is already locked in.

aebitda financial

AEBITDA stands for adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization — a measure of a company’s cash-generating performance that removes non-cash charges and one-time or unusual items. It matters to investors because it aims to show the underlying operating profit like cleaning away weather-related dirt from a window so you can see the steady picture of the business, helping compare performance across periods or companies.

non-gaap financial

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

BROOMFIELD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOCN), the AI-Native Cloud, purpose-built for inference and agentic workloads, today announced its continued customer traction with multiple nine-figure annual customer commitments for inference and cloud products added in the quarter. The Company’s remaining performance obligations (RPO) are expected to grow more than 10X from the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 to more than $800 million, with weighted average life increasing from 1.6 years to over 3 years.

“We continue to win the world’s most sophisticated AI customers and demand continues to accelerate. Customers recognize the differentiation of our AI-Native Cloud platform, appreciate how easy we make it to scale their businesses, and seek the total cost of ownership advantage that we provide them,” said Paddy Srinivasan, CEO of DigitalOcean. “By working directly with our customers to build capabilities, such as our Inference Router that balances price and performance across both closed and open source models, we continue to extend our software advantage and further separate ourselves from bare-metal GPU rental companies.”

In addition, the Company has also secured an incremental 20 MW of additional data center capacity that is expected to come online in late 2027 and early 2028, bringing DigitalOcean's total committed data center capacity to approximately 155 MW. The Company continues to actively pursue additional incremental capacity to support accelerating customer demand.

For Q2 2026, the Company expects year over year revenue growth of approximately 29%, and projects to be at or above the top end of the range of its previously provided guidance for aEBITDA margin and non-GAAP Net Income per Share. The Company also expects this customer momentum to positively impact the previously provided guidance for exit 2026 revenue growth. The Company will provide more details in its upcoming earnings release.

We are not able to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information at this time and these factors could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP. The financial guidance presented in this release are estimates based on information available as of the date of this release. There can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ from the financial guidance presented in this release.
