Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company sells its services through a sales force located both domestically and internationally. Revenue derived from operations outside of the U.S. is determined based on the country in which the sale originated. Other than the U.S., no single country accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue for any reported period. Revenue by geography included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

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 is comprised of Cloud Infrastructure Services, which includes compute and storage solutions, EdgeWorkers product and the partner solutions running on the Company's compute platform, and other cloud applications. Revenue by solution category included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

Revenue for Cloud Infrastructure Services for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $313.9 million, $230.0 million, and $174.4 million, respectively.

Most security, delivery and cloud computing services represent stand-ready 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 years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $147.2 million, $109.1 million and $105.9 million of revenue that was included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of remaining performance obligations from contracts with customers was $5.2 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 years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was not material.

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
