Question · Q4 2025
Rob asked about the current prevalence and size of revenue commitments from customers, particularly on the delivery side, compared to previous periods, and sought an outlook for delivery growth, specifically considering AI-based traffic.
Answer
CEO Tom Leighton confirmed seeing longer commitments across all services, partly by design and customer interest, and projected mid-single-digit growth for delivery this year. CFO Ed McGowan added that while total RPO is growing due to longer commitments, the dynamic in the delivery business itself hasn't significantly changed regarding committed versus uncommitted revenue, with security and compute driving larger, longer commitments.
