Forward guidance
The Company reports the following financial guidance for the second quarter and full year 2023:
Tailwinds
- Revenue (in millions): $923 - $937 (Q2 2023), $3,740 - $3,785 (FY 2023)
- Non-GAAP operating margin: 28.5% (Q2 2023), 28.0% - 29.0% (FY 2023)
- Non-GAAP net income per diluted share: $1.38 - $1.42 (Q2 2023), $5.69 - $5.84 (FY 2023)
- Non-GAAP tax rate: 17.5% - 18.0% (Q2 2023), 17.5% - 18.0% (FY 2023)
- Shares used in non-GAAP per diluted share calculations (in millions): 153 (Q2 2023), 153 (FY 2023)
Headwinds
- Capex as a percentage of revenue: 21.0% - 22.0% (Q2 2023), 18.5% - 19.0% (FY 2023)
- This guidance is provided on a non-GAAP basis and cannot be reconciled to the closest GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from non-GAAP measures.
- For example, stock-based compensation is unpredictable for Akamai’s performance-based awards, which can fluctuate significantly based on current expectations of the future achievement of performance-based targets.
- Amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs are all impacted by the timing and size of potential future actions, which are difficult to predict.
- Material changes to any one of the exclusions could have a significant effect on our guidance and future GAAP results.
