The clearest driver of the earnings outperformance was a dramatic expansion in operating leverage, with GAAP net income surging 170% year over year to $38.20 million as general and administrative costs fell sharply following prior-year acquisition-related charges. Fueling the revenue picture was DigitalOcean's strategic push into larger digital native enterprises, where AI ARR grew over 160% year over year and customers spending above $100K in ARR now account for 23% of total revenue. The company's newly launched GenAI Platform has already attracted more than 5,000 customers building over 8,000 agents, adding credibility to the AI growth story. Looking ahead, management reiterated full-year 2025 revenue guidance of $870.00 million to $890.00 million, with non-GAAP diluted EPS expected between $1.85 and $1.95.
