NEW YORK, August 8, 2024 – DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOCN), the developer cloud optimized for startups and growing technology businesses, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“We have delivered another strong quarter of business results and exciting product announcements. In Q2 we saw revenue growth continue to re-accelerate to 13%, with AI/ML continuing to gain significant momentum with ARR up over 200% year over year, and expanded our leadership team by adding a Chief Product and Technology Officer to accelerate innovation, a Chief Ecosystem and Growth Officer to drive growth and engagement within our developer community and a Chief Revenue Officer to fortify our go-to-market functions,” said Paddy Srinivasan, CEO of DigitalOcean. “With our new leadership team in place and accelerating product innovation, we continue to execute on our mission of providing cloud computing to growing technology companies as well as pursue our AI strategy of democratizing access to GPU Infrastructure and a compelling platform to simplify building and consuming AI.”
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:
•Revenue was $192 million, an increase of 13% year-over-year.
•Annual Run-Rate Revenue (ARR) ended the quarter at $781 million, an increase of 15% year-over-year.
•Gross profit of $117 million, an increase of 15% year-over-year, and gross profit margin was 61%.
•Net income attributable to common stockholders was $19 million and net income margin was 10%.
•Adjusted EBITDA was $82 million, an increase of 13% year-over-year, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 42%.
•Diluted net income per share was $0.20 and non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.48.
•Net cash from operating activities was $71 million as compared to $64 million in the second quarter 2023.
•Adjusted free cash flow was $37 million as compared to $45 million in the second quarter 2023.
•Cash and cash equivalents was $443 million as of June 30, 2024.
Second Quarter 2024 Operational Highlights:
•On July 9, revived the virtual developer conference, Deploy, where a number of product releases were announced such as VPC Peering Beta and Premium CPU Optimized 96 vCPU Droplets, among others.
•Announced the EA (Early Availability) of GPU droplets which democratizes on-demand access to NVIDIA H100 instances for customers (including DigitalOcean’s approximately 638 thousand customers) with the ability to leverage 1, 8 or more GPUs providing flexible deployment options tailored to various use cases and budgets.
•Released 24 new product features throughout the second quarter, doubling our product velocity from the prior 6 months, which include Managed OpenSearch and 5th Generation Xeon Processors, as well as enhanced data processing and transfer capabilities within our data centers.
•Average Revenue Per Customer (ARPU) was $99.45, an increase of 9% over the second quarter 2023.
•Builders and Scalers, those customers spending more than $50 per month, increased 7% from the second quarter 2023 and their revenue grew 15% year-over-year.
•Net Dollar Retention Rate (NDR) remained stable at 97% as compared to the prior quarter.
•The Company repurchased 297,106 shares during the quarter.
Financial Outlook:
DigitalOcean is initiating guidance for the third quarter ending September 30, 2024 as follows:
•Total revenue of $196 to $197 million.
•Adjusted EBITDA margin of 37% to 38%.
•Non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.39 to $0.41.
•Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 102 to 103 million shares.
DigitalOcean is updating guidance for the full year 2024 as follows:
•Total revenue of $770 to $775 million.
•Adjusted EBITDA margin of 37% to 39%.
•Adjusted free cash flow margin in the range of 15% to 17% of revenue.
•Non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $1.60 to $1.70.
•Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 102 to 103 million shares.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP outlook measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, expenses that may be incurred in the future. For example, stock-based compensation expense-related charges are impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions, the future fair market value of our common stock, and our future hiring and retention needs, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort and we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP.
Conference Call Information:
DigitalOcean will host a conference call today, August 8, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. ET to review its results. The conference call and presentation can be accessed by registering for the webcast at https://events.q4inc.com/attendee/527008089.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, we provide investors with non-GAAP financial measures including: (i) adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin; (ii) non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share; and (iii) adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow margin. These measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In particular, adjusted free cash flow is not a substitute for cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, the utility of adjusted free cash flow as a measure of our financial performance and liquidity is further limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. Our calculations of each of these measures may differ from the calculations of measures with the same or similar titles by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider each of these non-GAAP financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and our other GAAP results. A reconciliation of each of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is set forth in the tables in the section “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Data.”
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest expense, acquisition related compensation, acquisition and integration related costs, income tax expense, restructuring and other charges, restructuring related charges, impairment of long-lived assets, and other income, net. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with our GAAP financial results, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a measure used by management in assessing the health of our business, evaluating our operating performance, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
Our calculation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may differ from the calculations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial performance measures, including our net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and other GAAP results.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Net Income Per Share
We define non-GAAP net income as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition related compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, acquisition and integration related costs, restructuring and other charges, restructuring related charges, impairment of long-lived assets, and other unusual or non-recurring transactions as they occur. We define non-GAAP diluted net income per share as non-GAAP net income
divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding, which includes the potentially dilutive effect of our stock options, RSUs, PRSUs, and Convertible Notes.
We believe non-GAAP diluted net income per share provides our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of unusual or non-recurring items from period to period for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin
Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as Net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software costs, and excluding cash paid for restructuring and other charges, acquisition related compensation, restructuring related charges, and acquisition and integration related costs. Adjusted free cash flow margin is calculated as adjusted free cash flow divided by total revenue.
We believe that adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow margin are useful indicators of liquidity that provide information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from our core operations that can be used for strategic initiatives, including investing in our business and selectively pursuing acquisitions and strategic investments. We further believe that historical and future trends in adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow margin, even if negative, provide useful information about the amount of Net cash provided by operating activities that is available (or not available) to be used for strategic initiatives. One limitation of adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow margin is that they do not reflect our future contractual commitments. Additionally, adjusted free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period.
Key Business Metrics:
We utilize the key metrics set forth below to help us evaluate our business and growth, identify trends, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.
Customers
We divide our customer population into the following categories:
•Testers: users that both (i) spend less than or equal to $50 per month and (ii) utilize our platform for three months or less.
•Learners: users that both (i) spend less than or equal to $50 for the month-end period and (ii) have been on our platform for more than three months.
•Builders: users that spend greater than $50 and less than or equal to $500 for the month-end period.
•Scalers: users that spend greater than $500 for the month-end period.
We view Learners, Builders and Scalers as the most appropriate measure of our customer population, and Testers have therefore been excluded from the total customer population count. While we believe the total number of these customers is an important indicator of the growth of our business and future revenue opportunity, the trends relating to our Builders and Scalers is of particular importance to us as these customers represent a significant majority of our revenue and revenue growth, and they are representative of the SMB customers that grow on our platform and use multiple products.
ARPU
We calculate ARPU on a monthly basis as our total revenue from Learners, Builders and Scalers in that period divided by the total number of Learner, Builder and Scaler customers determined as of the last day of the reported period. For a quarterly or annual period, ARPU is determined as the weighted average monthly ARPU over such three or 12-month period.
ARR
We calculate ARR at a point in time by multiplying the revenue of the last month of the reported period by 12. For our ARR calculations, we include the total revenue from all customers, including Testers, Learners, Builders and Scalers.
Net Dollar Retention Rate
We calculate net dollar retention rate monthly by starting with the revenue from customers, including Testers, Learners, Builders and Scalers, for our IaaS, PaaS and SaaS offerings during the corresponding month 12 months prior, or the Prior
Period Revenue. We then calculate the revenue from these same customers as of the current month, or the Current Period Revenue, including any expansion and net of any contraction or attrition from these customers over the last 12 months. The calculation also includes revenue from customers that generated revenue before, but not in, the corresponding month 12 months prior, but subsequently generated revenue in the current month and are therefore reflected in the Current Period Revenue. We include this group of re-engaged customers in this calculation because our customers frequently use our platform for projects that stop and start over time. We then divide the total Current Period Revenue by the total Prior Period Revenue to arrive at the net dollar retention rate for the relevant month. For our net dollar retention rate calculations, we include the total revenue from customers, including Testers, Learners, Builders and Scalers, for our IaaS, PaaS and SaaS offerings. For a quarterly or annual period, the net dollar retention rate is determined as the average monthly net dollar retention rates over such three or 12-month period.
