What we learned
- Without the restructuring charges, the GAAP net loss would have been about $18 million. CFO Thomas Seifert's own reconciliation settles the update note above: most of the widened $170.0 million loss is the announced workforce cut, not deteriorating unit economics.
- Restructuring charges ran $151 million this quarter, $99 million of it paid in cash. Seifert raised the full-year estimate to as much as $165 million, with up to $130 million cash — the company chose speed over cost control internationally.
- Cloudflare added a record 986 net new $100,000-plus customers over the trailing year. CEO Matthew Prince said that took the base to 4,698 such customers, up 27% year over year — the growth-quality metric the revenue and Rule of 40 figures don't show.
- Network capex ran 7% of revenue this quarter but is guided to 14-15% for the full year. Seifert's own split quantifies the AI buildout the article says is compressing gross margin, and implies a heavier capex quarter is still to come.
