A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding

unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of expenses that may be
incurred in the future and cannot be reasonably determined or
predicted at this time, although it is important to note that these
factors could be material to Fastly’s future GAAP financial
results.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking” statements that
are based on our beliefs and assumptions and on information
currently available to us on the date of this press release.
Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results,
performance, or achievements to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding
our future financial and operating performance, including our
outlook and guidance, our operating performance, our ability to
innovate, our customer acquisition and go-to-market efforts, our
ability to monetize, and our ability to deliver on our long-term
strategy. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to
update these forward-looking statements publicly or to update the
reasons actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new
information becomes available in the future. Important factors that
could cause our actual results to differ materially are detailed
from time to time in the reports Fastly files with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including in our Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Additional information will also be set forth in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Copies of
reports filed with the SEC are posted on Fastly’s website and are
available from Fastly without charge.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements,
which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the
Company uses the following non-GAAP measures of financial
performance: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP
operating loss, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP basic and
diluted net income (loss) per common share, non-GAAP research and
development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP general and
administrative, free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA. The
presentation of this additional financial information is not
intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for,
or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in
accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures have limitations in
that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our
results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. In
addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from
the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These
non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate our results of
operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Management compensates for these limitations by reconciling these
non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial
measures within our earnings releases.
Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating
loss, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted net
income (loss) per common share, non-GAAP research and development,
non-GAAP sales and marketing, and non-GAAP general and
administrative differ from GAAP in that they exclude stock-based
compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets,
acquisition-related expenses, executive transition costs, net gain
on extinguishment of debt, impairment expense and amortization of
debt discount and issuance costs.
Adjusted EBITDA: excludes stock-based compensation
expense, depreciation and other amortization expenses, amortization
of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses,
executive transition costs, interest income, interest expense,
including amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, net
gain on extinguishment of debt, impairment expense, other income
(expense), net, and income taxes.
Acquisition-Related Expenses: consists of
acquisition-related charges that are not related to ongoing
operations. Management considers its operating results without this
activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net income (loss)
performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance because these
charges may not be reflective of our core business, ongoing
operating results, or future outlook.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets:
consists of non-cash charges that can be affected by the timing and
magnitude of asset purchases and acquisitions. Management considers
its operating results without this activity when evaluating its
ongoing non-GAAP performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance
because these charges are non-cash expenses that can be affected by
the timing and magnitude of asset purchases and acquisitions and
may not be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating
results, or future outlook.
Amortization of Debt Discount and Issuance Costs:
consists primarily of amortization expense related to our debt
obligations. Management considers its operating results without
this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net income
(loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance because it
is not believed by management to be reflective of our core
business, ongoing operating results or future outlook. These are
included in our total interest expense.
Capital Expenditures: consists of cash used for
purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sale of
property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software and
payments on finance lease obligations, as reflected in our
statement of cash flows.
Depreciation and Other Amortization Expense:
consists of non-cash charges that can be affected by the timing and
magnitude of asset purchases. Management considers its operating
results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing adjusted
EBITDA performance because these charges are non-cash expenses that
can be affected by the timing and magnitude of asset purchases and
may not be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating
results, or future outlook.
Executive Transition Costs: consists of one-time cash and
non-cash charges recognized with respect to changes in our
executives' employment status. Management considers its operating
results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP
net income (loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance
because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our
core business, ongoing operating results or future outlook.
Free Cash Flow: calculated as net cash used in
operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, net
of proceeds from sale of property and equipment, principal payments
of finance lease liabilities, capitalized internal-use software
costs and advance payments made related to capital expenditures.
Management specifically identifies adjusting items in the
reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. Management
considers non-GAAP free cash flow to be a profitability and
liquidity measure that provides useful information to management
and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business
that can possibly be used for investing in Fastly's business and
strengthening its balance sheet, but it is not intended to
represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary
expenditures. The presentation of non-GAAP free cash flow is also
not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to
cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
Impairment Expense: consists of impairment charge related
to our computer and networking equipment, including software, we
expect to not be used. Management considers its operating results
without this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net
income (loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance
because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our
core business, ongoing operating results or future outlook.
Income Taxes: consists primarily of expenses
recognized related to state and foreign income taxes. Management
considers its operating results without this activity when
evaluating its ongoing adjusted EBITDA performance because it is
not believed by management to be reflective of our core business,
ongoing operating results or future outlook.
Interest Expense: consists primarily of interest
expense related to our debt instruments, including amortization of
debt discount and issuance costs. Management considers its
operating results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing
non-GAAP net income (loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA
performance because it is not believed by management to be
reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results or
future outlook.
Interest Income: consists primarily of interest
income related to our marketable securities. Management considers
its operating results without this activity when evaluating its
ongoing non-GAAP net income (loss) performance and its adjusted
EBITDA performance because it is not believed by management to be
reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results or
future outlook.
Net Gain on Debt Extinguishment: relates to net
gain on the partial repurchase of our outstanding convertible debt.
Management considers its operating results without this activity
when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net income (loss) performance
and its adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by
management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating
results or future outlook.
Other Income (Expense), Net: consists primarily of
foreign currency transaction gains and losses. Management considers
its operating results without this activity when evaluating its
ongoing adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by
management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating
results or future outlook.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense: consists of
expenses for stock options, restricted stock units, performance
awards, restricted stock awards and Employee Stock Purchase Plan
("ESPP") under our equity incentive plans. Although stock-based
compensation is an expense for the Company and is viewed as a form
of compensation, management considers its operating results without
this activity when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP net income
(loss) performance and its adjusted EBITDA performance, primarily
because it is a non-cash expense not believed by management to be
reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results, or
future outlook. In addition, the value of some stock-based
instruments is determined using formulas that incorporate
variables, such as market volatility, that are beyond our
control.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures and
adjusted EBITDA serve as useful metrics for our management and
investors because they enable a better understanding of the
long-term performance of our core business and facilitate
comparisons of our operating results over multiple periods and to
those of peer companies, and when taken together with the
corresponding GAAP financial measures and our reconciliations,
enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial
performance.
In the financial tables below, the Company provides a
reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP financial measure to the
historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this press
release.
Key Metrics
1 We calculate LTM Net Retention Rate by dividing the total
customer revenue for the prior twelve-month period (“prior 12-month
period”) ending at the beginning of the last twelve-month period
(“LTM period”) minus revenue contraction due to billing decreases
or customer churn, plus revenue expansion due to billing increases
during the LTM period from the same customers by the total prior
12-month period revenue. We believe the LTM Net Retention Rate is
supplemental as it removes some of the volatility that is inherent
in a usage-based business model.
2 Under our new methodology, our number of customers is
calculated based on the number of separate identifiable operating
entities with which we have a billing relationship in good
standing, from which we recognized revenue during the current
quarter. Under our prior methodology, our number of customers is
calculated based on the number of separate identifiable operating
entities with which we have a billing relationship in good
standing, from which we recognized revenue during the last month of
the quarter. Under our new methodology, our enterprise customers
are defined as those with annualized current quarter revenue in
excess of $100,000. This is calculated by taking the revenue for
each customer within the quarter and multiplying it by four. Under
our prior methodology, our enterprise customers are defined as
those with revenue in excess of $100,000 in the trailing 12-month
period. Under our prior methodology, our total customer count was
3,097 in the fourth quarter, up 78 from the third quarter of 2023;
532 were enterprise customers in the fourth quarter, up 2 from the
third quarter of 2023.
3 Under our new methodology, our average enterprise customer
spend is calculated by taking the annualized current quarter
revenue contributed by enterprise customers existing as of the
current period, and dividing that by the number of enterprise
customers as of the current period. Under our prior methodology,
our average enterprise customer spend is calculated by taking the
sum of the trailing 12-month revenue contributed by enterprise
customers existing as of the current period, and dividing that by
the number of enterprise customers as of the current period. Under
our prior methodology, our average enterprise customer spend was
$859 thousand in the fourth quarter, up 3%
quarter-over-quarter.
4 Remaining performance obligations include 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.
5 Non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic share is calculated as
Non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted average basic shares
for 2024.
6 Assumes weighted average basic shares outstanding of 134.3
million in Q1 2024 and 137.5 million for the full year 2024.
7 Annual Revenue Retention rate is calculated by first
calculating "Annual Revenue Churn", which is calculated by
multiplying the final full month of revenue from a customer that
terminated its contract with us, (a "Churned Customer") by the
number of months remaining in the same calendar year. Our ARR rate
is calculated by subtracting the quotient of the Annual Revenue
Churn from all of our Churned Customers from which we recognized
revenue during the last quarter of the prior year divided by our
annual revenue of the same calendar year from 100%. Under the prior
methodology, our ARR rate is calculated by subtracting the quotient
of the Annual Revenue Churn from all of our Churned Customers from
which we recognized revenue during the last month of the prior year
divided by our annual revenue of the same calendar year from 100%.
Under our prior methodology, our ARR was 99.1%, down 0.1%
year-over-year.
