__________
1We calculate Dollar Based Net Expansion Rate by dividing the revenue for a given period from customers who remained customers as of the last day of the given period (the “current” period) by the revenue from the same customers for the same period measured one year prior (the “base” period). The revenue included in the current period excludes revenue from (i) customers that churned after the end of the base period and (ii) new customers that entered into a customer agreement after the end of the base period

To Our Shareholders,
As we report Fastly’s second quarter as a public company, we are extremely excited about the progress we’ve made, and the opportunities ahead. We are passionate about our mission of enabling developers to dream bigger by providing them with a secure, programmable, and reliable edge cloud platform that they can adopt as their own. To achieve that goal, we have been focused on creating a frictionless developer experience at the edge. We always ask ourselves: How can we make it easier for developers to write code at the edge? What new tools do they need us to integrate with? What languages do they want to program in? What visibility is needed? How can we make applications more secure? This quarter, we delivered features that made developers’ lives easier. We saw more experimentation, innovation, and ultimately, value delivered at the edge. As our customers continue to create and push more of their code to the edge, it is our responsibility to reimagine and deliver exceptional security and performance, so we are the engine for our customers’ growth.
The headway we are making is evident in our results for the third quarter of 2019. We generated $50 million in revenue, up 35% year-over-year and increased our enterprise customer count to 274 from 262 in the previous quarter. We also continue to drive usage with existing customers, which resulted in a DBNER of 135%, up from 132% in the previous quarter. These results reflect further adoption of our developer-friendly edge platform and products by new and existing enterprise organizations across all geographies and verticals. We see this momentum continuing as developers further embrace our modern edge compute platform.
Exhibit 99.1
Enhancing Edge Computing Capabilities
Fastly continues to build on its history of innovation in edge computing. A big reason why developers continue using our platform is because we deliver new tools and functionality that enable developers to build and create beyond what was previously possible.
We’re starting to see results from last quarter’s launch of our developer library, which includes ready-to-deploy code and solution patterns. These new capabilities are designed to increase adoption of our platform by making it faster and safer for developers to discover, test, customize, and deploy edge cloud solutions. We saw adoption from customers like A+E which leverages our developer libraries to authenticate and secure video streams, IGN which uses our edge compute to optimize images and geo-fence content, and a Japanese ecommerce company which programmatically schedules content and inventory expiration on the Fastly Edge Cloud.
Building on that, in the third quarter we also launched the newest version of our Terraform provider, which brought added functionality and increased performance to customers. We also announced the expansion of our real-time log streaming to support Apache Kafka and Elasticsearch endpoints, giving developers even more options to experiment with big data.
Additionally, over the past two years, we’ve been creating a compiler and runtime that executes functions at the edge with unparalleled speed, safety, and security. I am thrilled that we recently announced the beta of our next-generation serverless offering: Compute@Edge, a powerful new language-agnostic compute environment. Compute@Edge is built for global scale and performance, and at 35.4 microseconds it offers a 100x faster startup times than other solutions on the market. We will demo the product at our user conference, Altitude NYC, on November 12th and 13th. For Compute@Edge, we added tooling to support Rust as the second language—in addition to Varnish Configuration Language (VCL)—due to its growing popularity with innovative, forward-thinking organizations. More languages will be added in the future. The demo will showcase how customers can build and deliver more complex logic at the edge. Some examples include taking advantage of technologies like GraphQL to deliver exceptionally personalized web experiences and improving API security by validating requests and responses inline.
Driving Growth by Winning New Enterprise Customers1
During the third quarter of 2019, our enterprise customer count increased to 274, up from 262 in the previous quarter. We continue to attract and win new enterprise customers by delivering best-in-class performance, combined with a developer-friendly approach that offers agility, security, control, and real-time visibility.
In addition to growing our enterprise customer base, we are also driving increases in the amount spent by each of these customers, with average enterprise customer spend of $575,000, up from $556,000 in the previous quarter. Enterprise customers continue to be the primary growth driver in our business, generating 86% of our trailing twelve-month revenue as of the third quarter.
__________
1Enterprise customers are defined as customers with revenue in excess of $100,000 over the previous 12-month period
Exhibit 99.1
To continue to drive enterprise customer growth, we focus the majority of our direct selling and support efforts on large and rapidly growing companies that have both the potential to increase usage over time and the budget to become enterprise customers (which we define as customers that spend $100,000 or more in the last twelve months). Historically, these customers have the most applicable edge computing use cases, the most rapid usage expansion, and the budget to purchase additional products and features on our platform. We are seeing the results of this strategy. As just one example, this quarter we had a large customer ramp to enterprise status in a single month.
Our total customer count also increased to 1,684 this quarter, up from 1,627 in the previous quarter. We’ve continued to invest in our demand generation, sales and marketing teams, and expect to see a return on those efforts in the quarters to come.
Exhibit 99.1
Expanding Usage within Our Existing Customer Base
As enterprises grow and experience increased site traffic, their needs evolve, leading to additional, more complex use cases resulting in expanded usage and adoption of additional Fastly products. Our programmable edge platform includes a variety of other offerings, such as caching, image optimization, DDOS Protection, and Web Application Firewall. A meaningful indicator of the increased activity from our existing customer accounts and overall customer satisfaction is DBNER, which measures the change in existing customers’ revenue from usage of our platform over a twelve-month period, excluding the effect of new and churned customers. In Q3 2019, our DBNER was 135%, up from 132% in the previous quarter.
The increase in DBNER was driven by further adoption of security features and more complex edge computing use cases by large customers. Additionally, we’ve continued to drive expansion into adjacent business units within existing enterprise customers. Within a number of our existing Fortune 100 ecommerce customers, we have won new business with additional distinct opportunities as they realized the capabilities of our edge cloud platform.
Exhibit 99.1
Continued Investment in Our Software-Defined Modern Network Platform
Our unique network architecture delivers best-in-class speed, flexibility, and efficiency. By having a single, software-defined, modern network, fueled by proprietary software that has built-in routing and load balancing capabilities, we offer developers unprecedented flexibility and control while also maintaining the ability to be efficient with our capital expenditures. This quarter, we added new POPs in Colombia, the U.K., and Florida. We also upgraded existing POPs in South Africa, Brazil, and additional U.K. locations. In total, Fastly now has 66 POPs online providing access to 58Tb/sec of global network capacity.
We aim to invest in and scale our network as efficiently as possible, and expand, upgrade, and augment based on the needs of new and existing customers around the globe.
Exhibit 99.1
Future Opportunities for Operating Leverage
We continue to be confident in our path to profitability over time, which is driven by our ability to win new enterprise customers, drive usage on our network, and invest efficiently—all of which we expect to deliver upon as we scale. We expect that the primary drivers of our operating leverage will be incremental revenue from continuous edge cloud and security product releases as well as increased efficiency in the network.
This quarter, we realized the benefit of increased system efficiency through multiple software improvements to our edge software stack. Specifically, these improvements lead to a reduction in CPU utilization for common platform workloads. With a single, global platform, we can immediately realize these improvements in every Fastly POP globally, and on every cache server. These improvements provide more headroom in our systems, thereby generating additional leverage from existing investments and helping us increase the efficiency of future investments in our network.
In terms of operating expenses, we are committed to building upon our edge computing momentum and pioneering new edge computing as well as security technologies at a reasonable pace. We plan to continue to invest in our sales and marketing organizations to drive strong top-line growth, and we aim to do so as efficiently and effectively as possible. Lastly, we scaled our general and administrative teams this year as part of becoming a public company, and we believe that we will begin to deliver operating leverage within that organization in future periods as our teams approach scale.

Financial Discussion
Revenue
Total revenue for Q3 2019 increased 35% year-over-year to $50 million, driven by further adoption of our developer-friendly edge platform and products by new and existing enterprise organization across all geographies and verticals.
Customer Count
As of Q3 2019, 274 of our 1,684 customers were enterprise customers. These enterprise customers drove the majority of our revenue growth and accounted for 86% of Q3 revenue.
Gross Margin
GAAP gross margin was 55.2% for Q3 2019, compared to 54.6% in the same quarter a year ago. Excluding stock-based compensation, Non-GAAP gross margin was 56.1% for Q3 2019, compared to 54.8% in the same quarter a year ago. As we have previously disclosed, our gross margin can be impacted by seasonal events. We expect our Q4 2019 gross margin increase to be in line with our prior year trend.
Expenses
Research and development expense was $12 million in Q3 2019, or 24% of revenue, up from $9 million year-over-year, or 25% of revenue. The increase was primarily driven by growth in our headcount as we continue to invest in new products and features to continue to produce next-generation edge computing solutions.
Sales and marketing expense was $18 million in Q3 2019, representing 35% of revenue compared to 33% of revenue in Q3 2018. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by augmenting our talent to drive future enterprise customer acquisition growth as well as encouraging further use of our platform by current customers.
General and administrative expense was $11 million in Q3 2019, or 21% of revenue, an increase of $4 million year-over-year. The higher expense was primarily driven by an increase in headcount, service providers, and insurance required to support us as a public company.
In total, our operating expenses for Q3 2019 were $40 million, or 81% of revenue, compared to 76% of revenue a year ago. We generated a GAAP operating loss of $13 million, or 26% of revenue, compared to GAAP operating loss of $8 million, or 21% of revenue in the same quarter a year ago. Non-GAAP operating loss was $9 million, or 18% of revenue, compared to non-GAAP operating loss of $7 million, or 18% of revenue in the same quarter a year ago.
Net Loss
Net loss for the quarter was $12 million compared to $8 million a year ago. Factoring in Q3 2019 weighted average shares outstanding of 93 million, GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.13, compared to $0.35 in the same quarter a year ago. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.09, compared to $0.29 in the same quarter a year ago. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their corresponding GAAP measures, please refer to the reconciliation table at the end of this letter.
Exhibit 99.1
Balance Sheet, Capital Expenditures, and Cash Flow
We ended Q3 2019 with $208 million in cash and investments. Cash used in operations was $13 million in the quarter. Capital expenditures, or cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software, were $4 million in Q3 2019 and $14 million year to date. Free Cash Flow was ($17) million in Q3 2019. Both are in line with our expectations. We expect full-year 2019 capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue to be in line with the prior year. That being said, long term, we expect capital expenditures to approach 10% of revenue on a calendar year basis. For additional context, please refer to the free cash flow table at the end of this letter.
Subsequent to quarter-end, we closed on a $70 million three-year, cash collateralized revolving credit facility. In conjunction with the financing, we repaid and closed our senior credit facility in the amount of approximately $20 million. This new credit line offers greater financial flexibility with limited financial covenants, along with the reduction of required deposits compared to the previous debt facility, and also increases our ability to utilize capital leases. The interest rate of LIBOR plus 150bps and interest-only payment structure of the new facility will lower our overall cost of capital and provide additional interim cash flow to invest in our business and drive growth.

Exhibit 99.1
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company uses the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per common share, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative, and adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of this additional financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Management compensates for these limitations by reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures within our earnings releases.
Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, and non-GAAP general and administrative differ from GAAP in that they exclude stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per common share differ from GAAP in that they exclude stock-based compensation expense, interest expense related to the acceleration of deferred debt issuance costs due to the early repayment of debt, and other expense related to the mark-to-market of our convertible preferred warrant liability immediately prior to our initial public offering ("IPO").
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, interest expense, other (income) expense, net, and income taxes.
Capital Expenditures: cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software, as reflected in our statement of cash flow.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense: consists of non-cash charges that can be affected by the timing and magnitude of asset purchases. Depreciation and amortization expense is included in the following cost and expense line items of our GAAP presentation: cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative. Management considers its operating results without amortization expense when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP performance and without depreciation and amortization expense when evaluating its ongoing adjusted EBITDA performance because these charges are non-cash expenses that can be affected by the timing and magnitude of asset purchases and may not be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results, or future outlook.
Exhibit 99.1
Free Cash Flow: calculated as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures.
Interest Expense: consists primarily of interest expense related to our debt instruments. Management considers its operating results without interest expense associated with the acceleration of deferred debt issuance costs associated with early repayment of debt when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP performance and without total interest expense when evaluating its ongoing adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results, or future outlook.
Interest Income: consists primarily of interest income related to our marketable securities. Management considers its adjusted EBITDA results without this activity when evaluating its ongoing performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results, or future outlook.
Income Taxes: consists of expense recognized related to state and foreign income taxes. Management considers its adjusted EBITDA results without these charges when evaluating its ongoing performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results, or future outlook.
Non-GAAP Operating Loss: calculated as GAAP revenue less non-GAAP cost of revenue and non-GAAP operating expenses.
Other (Income) Expense, Net: consists primarily of other expense related to mark-to-market adjustments of our convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities. Upon the closing of the IPO, the warrants to purchase shares of preferred stock were converted into warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. As a result, the warrant liability was remeasured a final time immediately prior to the IPO and reclassified to additional paid in capital within stockholders' deficit. Management considers its operating results without other expense associated with the mark-to-market adjustments included in other expense, net, when evaluating its ongoing non-GAAP performance and without total other expense, net when evaluating its ongoing adjusted EBITDA performance because it is not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results or future outlook.
Stock-based Compensation Expense: consists of expense for stock options, restricted stock units, and Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") under our equity incentive plans. Stock-based compensation is included in the following cost and expense line items of our GAAP presentation: cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative.
Although stock-based compensation is an expense for the Company and is viewed as a form of compensation, management excludes stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP measures and adjusted EBITDA results for purposes of evaluating our continuing operating performance primarily because it is a non-cash expense not believed by management to be reflective of our core business, ongoing operating results, or future outlook. In addition, the value of stock-based instruments is determined using formulas that incorporate variables, such as market volatility, that are beyond our control.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures and adjusted EBITDA serve as useful metrics for our management and investors because they enable a better understanding of the long-term performance of our core business and facilitate comparisons of our operating results over multiple periods and to those of peer companies, and when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and our reconciliations, enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance.
