Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Q2 2026
Earnings Call Date:Aug 05, 2026|% Change Since:―|
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive

The call conveyed strong positive momentum: record revenue, record gross margins, meaningful operating profitability improvements, sustained free cash flow, and accelerating platform adoption—especially in security and compute. Management acknowledged near-term variability from episodic events, some customer concentration, higher front-loaded CapEx due to supply-chain mitigation, and mid-single-digit price erosion in network services. Overall the company presented improving unit economics, stronger RPO, and raised full-year guidance while flagging execution items and normalization of OpEx in the back half.

Company Guidance

Fastly guided Q3 revenue of $184M–$190M (midpoint +18% YoY), with gross margin ~65% ±50 bps, non‑GAAP operating profit of $20M–$24M (≈12% operating margin at the midpoint) and non‑GAAP net EPS of $0.11–$0.13; for full‑year 2026 it raised revenue guidance to $732M–$746M (≈+18% at midpoint), expects full‑year gross margin ~65% ±50 bps, non‑GAAP operating profit $88M–$96M (≈12% operating margin at midpoint), non‑GAAP net EPS $0.50–$0.54, infrastructure CapEx of 10%–12% of revenue (front‑loaded vs. 5% in 2025), and free cash flow of $40M–$50M, while noting OpEx will normalize higher in H2 due to headcount additions and discretionary spend.

  • Record Revenue and Reaccelerated GrowthRevenue of $183.3 million in Q2 (record) increased 23% year-over-year and exceeded the high end of guidance ($170M–$176M). Company reported the highest revenue growth quarter in almost four years.
  • Record Gross Margin and Strong Operating ProfitabilityGross margin hit a record 65.8% (up ~680 basis points vs Q2 2025 and ~180 bps above guidance midpoint). Operating income was $27 million and operating margin expanded to ~14.7%–15%, a swing from -3% a year ago and well above guidance.
  • Improved Monetization and Unit EconomicsTrailing-12-month incremental gross margin rose to 96% (from 47% a year ago). Trailing-12-month incremental operating margin flow-through was 79%, well above the company’s long-term target range of 25%–40%.
  • Strong Cash Generation and Balance SheetSixth consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow (Q2 free cash flow $3.6M). Cash flow from operations was $39.3M (vs $25.8M in Q2 2025). Ended quarter with ~$337M in cash, marketable securities and investments and a positive net cash balance of $14M.
  • Platform Adoption Driving Customer Revenue ExpansionTrailing 12-month net retention rate rose to 117% (from 113% in prior quarter and 104% a year ago). Top 10 customers accounted for 37% of revenue and grew 48% year-over-year; customers outside top 10 grew 12% year-over-year. Large customer count (>$100k ARR) added 24 customers.
  • Security and Compute MomentumSecurity revenue was $41.7M, up 43% year-over-year and up 8% sequentially, representing 23% of revenue (vs 20% year-ago). Other products (primarily compute) grew 69% year-over-year to $7.7M, supporting AI-related workloads and showing compute as an emerging expansion engine.
  • Network Services Growth and Operational WinsNetwork services revenue of $103.9M grew 17% year-over-year (an acceleration from prior quarter). Management highlighted multiple customer wins and examples of platform resilience and performance during major live sporting events.
  • Improved Forward GuidanceRaised 2026 revenue guidance to $732M–$746M (about 18% growth at midpoint). Increased non-GAAP operating profit guidance to $88M–$96M (12% operating margin at midpoint) and maintained 2026 free cash flow guidance of $40M–$50M.
  • Stronger RPO and Contract VisibilityRemaining performance obligations (RPO) exited at $341M, up 38% year-over-year; the current portion of RPO was 79% of total and grew 44% year-over-year, reflecting larger upfront commitments and improved go-to-market discipline.
