AKAMAI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Akamai Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) develops and provides solutions for global enterprises to build, secure and accelerate their applications and digital experiences. Its massively distributed global network is comprised of core and distributed compute sites, more than 4,300 edge points-of-presence in approximately 130 countries and over 700 cities. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1998 and is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Company is currently organized and operates as one operating and reportable segment.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been condensed in, or omitted from, these interim financial statements. Accordingly, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2025. The December 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet included herein is derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements.
The results of operations presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any future periods. In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair statement of the results of all interim periods reported herein.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by removing all references to software development stages given the evolution of software development. The targeted improvements aim to increase the operability of the recognition guidance for internal-use software. The guidance also seeks to clarify the disclosure requirements for internal-use software. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2028, and is to be applied prospectively, modified prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued guidance which provides targeted improvements and clarifications related to the recognition and measurement of expected credit losses, particularly for off-balance-sheet credit exposures and certain practical expedients. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2026, and is to be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2026, and is to be applied prospectively with the option to adopt retrospectively. The Company has historically not had induced conversions of its convertible senior notes and does not anticipate this guidance to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements or its disclosures upon adoption.
In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to enhance income statement disclosures through additional disclosures of specified information about certain costs and expenses. This guidance will be effective for the Company's annual period ending December 31, 2027 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2028, and is to be applied prospectively with the option to adopt retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact the update will have on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to improve income tax disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures for the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, in addition to the modification or elimination of other disclosures. This guidance will be effective for the Company's annual period ending December 31, 2025 and is to be applied prospectively with
the option to adopt retrospectively. The Company has completed a preliminary assessment of the guidance and does not anticipate an impact on its consolidated financial statements other than for the additional required disclosures.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Company's financial assets were determined utilizing a Level 1 or Level 2 valuation. Level 1 valuations are based upon the market prices for such investments that are readily available in active markets and Level 2 valuations are based upon the available quoted prices for similar assets in active markets (or identical assets in an inactive market). The Company did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
When developing fair value estimates, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to measure fair value. The valuation technique used to measure fair value for the Company's Level 1 and Level 2 assets is a market approach, using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market-based parameters including yield curves, volatilities, credit ratings and currency rates. In certain cases where market rate assumptions are not available, the Company is required to make judgments about the assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument.

6. Debt
Convertible Senior Notes
In May 2025, the Company issued $1,725.0 million in principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2033 and entered into related convertible note hedge and warrant transactions. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds to repay at maturity its $1,150.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due in 2027.
Including the May 2025 issuance of $1,725.0 million in principal amount of convertible senior notes, the Company has three convertible senior notes ("2033 Notes", "2029 Notes" and "2027 Notes") outstanding with a par value totaling $4,140.0 million (collectively, the "Notes") that are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The following table summarizes further details of the Notes:
| Notes | Issuance Date | Maturity Date | Principal Amount (in thousands) | Coupon Interest Rate | Effective Interest Rate | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2033 Notes | May 19, 2025 | May 15, 2033 | (1) | $ | 1,725,000 | 0.250 | % | 0.484 | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 2027 Notes | August 16, 2019 | September 1, 2027 | $ | 1,150,000 | 0.375 | % | 0.539 | % |
(1) Holders of the 2033 Notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their 2033 Notes on May 15, 2031 if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the business day immediately preceding May 15, 2031 is less than the conversion price per share. The repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2033 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the optional repurchase date.
Additionally, on May 1, 2025, the Company repaid $1,150.0 million in par value of convertible senior notes that matured (“2025 Notes”). The 2025 Notes were senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bore interest at 0.125%.
Conversion Rights of the Notes
At their option, holders may exercise the conversion right of the respective Notes at the following specified times and rates to receive the principal amount in cash and receive any amount in excess of the principal amount in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the conversion date, as noted in the table below, under the following circumstances a holder may exercise their conversion right:
-
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2025 for the 2033 Notes, December 31, 2023 for the 2029 Notes and December 31, 2019 for the 2027 Notes (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
-
during the five business day period after any five 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
-
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.
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change at any time prior to the maturity date, holders of the Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The conversion rights for the outstanding Notes as of September 30, 2025 are as follows:
| Notes | Conversion Date | Conversion Rate (1) | Conversion Price per Share (1) | |||||||||||||||||||||||

(1) The fair values were determined based on the quoted prices of the Notes in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period and have been classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Note Hedges and Warrants
To minimize the impact of potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions with respect to its common stock concurrently with each respective note issuance month. The note hedge transactions cover an approximate number of shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price that corresponds to the conversion prices for the Notes, also subject to adjustment, and are exercisable upon conversion of the Notes. The note hedge transactions expire upon the respective maturity dates of the Notes. The Company determined that the note hedges meet the definition of a derivative and are classified in stockholders’ equity, as the note hedges are indexed to the Company's common stock, and the Company, at its election, may receive cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. The Company recorded the purchase of the hedges as a decrease to additional paid-in capital. The Company does not recognize subsequent changes in fair value of the note hedges in its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Separately, the Company also entered into warrant transactions concurrently with each of the note issuances, whereby the Company sold warrants to acquire, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, shares of the Company’s common stock at a predetermined strike price per share. The convertible note hedge and warrant transactions will generally have the effect of increasing the conversion price of each of the Notes to the respective strike price related to the warrant transactions. The Company determined that the warrants meet the definition of a derivative and are classified in stockholders’ equity, as the warrants are indexed to the Company's common stock, and the Company, at its election, may pay or deliver to holders cash or shares of the Company's common stock. The Company recorded the proceeds from the issuance of the warrants as an increase to additional paid-in capital. The Company does not recognize subsequent changes in fair value of the warrants in its interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the main terms impacting the note hedges and warrants (in thousands, except per share data):
| 2033 Notes | 2029 Notes | 2027 Notes | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Aggregate proceeds from sale of warrants | $ | 330,855 | $ | 90,195 | $ | 185,150 |
With the issuance of the 2025 Notes, the Company previously entered into related hedge and warrant transactions. The hedges have expired. The warrants for 12.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of approximately $149.18 per share that resulted in aggregate proceeds of $119.9 million will expire during the fourth quarter of 2025. There were 3.6 million shares related to these warrant transactions outstanding as of September 30, 2025.
Revolving Credit Facilities
In January 2025, the Company entered into a $150.0 million uncommitted revolving credit agreement ("2025 Credit Agreement"). Any outstanding borrowings are secured by collateral, consisting primarily of available-for-sale marketable securities. Borrowings under the 2025 Credit Agreement may be used to finance working capital needs and for general corporate purposes. The 2025 Credit Agreement does not expire but is cancellable at any time and any borrowings can be due on demand. Borrowings under the 2025 Credit Agreement will bear a specified interest rate, based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, and interest period at the time of the confirmed borrowing. There were no outstanding borrowings under the 2025 Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2025.
In November 2022, the Company entered into a $500.0 million revolving credit agreement (“2022 Credit Agreement”). The 2022 Credit Agreement was amended in May 2025 to increase the aggregate revolving commitments under the 2022 Credit Agreement from $500.0 million to $1.0 billion and to extend the expiration one year. Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement may be used to finance working capital needs and for general corporate purposes. The 2022 Credit Agreement expires on November 22, 2028, and any amounts outstanding thereunder will become due and payable, subject to up to a one-year extension at the Company's request and with the consent of the lenders party thereto.
Borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at a term benchmark rate plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.125%, a reference rate plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.125%, or a base rate plus a spread of 0.00% to 0.125%, in each case with such spread being determined based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio specified in the 2022 Credit Agreement. Regardless of what amounts, if any, are outstanding under the 2022 Credit Agreement, the Company is also obligated to pay an ongoing commitment fee on undrawn amounts at a rate of 0.07% to 0.125%, with such rate being based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio specified in the 2022 Credit Agreement.
The 2022 Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. The negative covenants include restrictions on subsidiary indebtedness, liens and fundamental changes. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. The principal financial covenant requires a maximum consolidated leverage ratio. There were no outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2025.
Interest Expense
The Notes bear interest at fixed rates that are payable semi-annually in arrears on their respective interest payment dates each year. Interest expense, together with ongoing commitment fees under the terms of the Company's credit agreements, included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

7. Restructuring
During the third quarter of 2024, management committed to an action to restructure certain parts of the Company with the primary intent of redeploying resources to support the Company's strategic investments ("Q3 2024 Action"). As a result, certain headcount reductions were necessary. Additionally, the Company planned for the end of life of certain solutions which resulted in impairments to capitalized internal-use software, as well as completed technologies and customer-related acquired intangible assets. The Company does not expect to incur any material additional charges related to this action.
The Company also recognizes restructuring charges related to completed acquisitions for severance and related expenses paid to redundant employees, fees paid to terminate redundant contracts and impairments of redundant long-lived assets, primarily duplicative facility-related assets, acquired intangible assets and capitalized internal-use software. The Company does not expect to incur material additional charges related to past acquisitions.

8. Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program
In May 2024, the board of directors authorized a $2.0 billion share repurchase program, effective May 2024 through June 2027, of which $1,180.5 million remains available for repurchase as of September 30, 2025. The Company's goals for the share repurchase program are to offset the dilution created by its employee equity compensation programs over time and provide the flexibility to return capital to shareholders as business and market conditions warrant, while still preserving its ability to pursue other strategic opportunities.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company did not repurchase shares of its common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 10.0 million shares of its common stock for $800.0 million.

The Company reports its revenue in three solution categories: security, delivery and cloud computing. Security includes solutions that are designed to protect business online by keeping infrastructure, websites, applications, APIs, networks and users safe. Delivery includes solutions that are designed to enable business online, including media delivery and web and mobile performance. Cloud computing includes compute, storage, networking, database and container management services. Revenue by solution category included in the Company’s interim condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

Most security, delivery and cloud computing services represent obligations that are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the services provided by the Company. Accordingly, the majority of the Company's revenue is recognized over time, generally ratably over the term of the arrangement due to consistent monthly usage commitments that expire each period. Any usage over a given commitment is recognized in the period in which the units are served. A small percentage of the Company's contracts are satisfied at a point in time, such as one-time professional services contracts, integration services and most license sales where the primary obligation is delivery of the license at the start of the term. In these cases, revenue is recognized at a point in time of delivery or satisfaction of the performance obligation.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $136.7 million and $99.3 million of
revenue that was included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of remaining performance obligations from contracts with customers was $4.8 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 55% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months and approximately 40% over the next two to three years, with the remaining thereafter. Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of the transaction price under contracts with customers that are attributable to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the reporting date. This consists of future committed revenue for monthly, quarterly or annual periods within current contracts with customers, as well as deferred revenue arising from consideration invoiced in prior periods for which the related performance obligations have not been satisfied. It excludes estimates of variable consideration, such as usage-based contracts with no committed contract, as well as anticipated renewed contracts. Revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was not material.
11. Income Taxes
The Company's effective income tax rate is based on estimated income for the year, the estimated composition of the income in different jurisdictions and discrete adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods. Potential discrete adjustments include tax charges or benefits related to stock-based compensation, changes in tax legislation, settlements of tax audits or assessments, uncertain tax positions and acquisitions, among other items.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 26.4% and 14.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to a shortfall in the tax benefit related to stock-based compensation, an increase in certain tax reserves and a decrease in the benefit of U.S. federal, state and foreign research and development credits. These amounts were partially offset by a decrease in global intangible low-taxed income.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the effective income tax rate was higher than the federal statutory tax rate due to non-deductible stock-based compensation, an increase in certain tax reserves and a shortfall in the tax benefit related to stock-based compensation. These amounts were partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates and the benefit of U.S. federal, state and foreign research and development credits.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the effective income tax rate was lower than the federal statutory tax rate due to the excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation, foreign income taxed at lower rates and the benefit of U.S. federal, state and foreign research and development credits. These amounts were partially offset by non-deductible stock-based compensation and the 15% global minimum corporate income tax.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted into law. 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 OBBBA is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on future periods.
12. Net Income per Share
Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential common stock. Potential common stock consists of shares issuable pursuant to stock awards, convertible senior notes and warrants issued by the Company. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock awards is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method and the dilutive effect of the convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the if-converted method.
The components used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, certain potential outstanding shares from service-based stock awards and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect of including these items was anti-dilutive. Additionally, certain market- and performance-based stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share because the underlying market and performance conditions for such stock awards had not been met as of these dates. The number of potentially outstanding shares excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):
