NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Akamai Technologies, Inc. (“Akamai” or the “Company”) provides services for accelerating and improving the delivery of content and applications over the Internet. Akamai’s globally distributed platform comprises thousands of servers in hundreds of networks in approximately 70 countries. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1998 and is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Akamai currently operates in one business segment: providing services for accelerating and improving delivery of content and applications over the Internet.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. These statements include the accounts of Akamai and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Akamai’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The results of operations presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for future periods. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the results of all interim periods reported herein.
2. Business Acquisitions
In December 2006, March 2007 and April 2007, the Company acquired Nine Systems Corporation (“Nine Systems”), Netli, Inc. (“Netli”) and Red Swoosh, Inc. (“Red Swoosh”), respectively. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operating results of each business from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions, individually or in the aggregate, were not material to the Company’s financial results.
Red Swoosh, Inc.
On April 12, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Red Swoosh in exchange for approximately 350,000 shares of Akamai common stock. The purchase of Red Swoosh is intended to augment Akamai’s distributed Internet presence by combining client-side file management and distribution software with the Company’s existing network of edge servers. The aggregate purchase price, determined as of the date of acquisition, was $18.7 million, which consisted of $18.5 million in shares of Akamai common stock and transaction costs of approximately $240,000, which primarily consisted of fees for legal services. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-12, “Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination” (“EITF No. 99-12”), the value of the common stock issued in the transaction was calculated using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five day period beginning two days before and ending two days after the date on which all material aspects of the transaction were agreed to by all parties and the acquisition was announced.
The acquisition of Red Swoosh was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of the acquired business since April 12, 2007, the date of acquisition, are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, as determined by management. The purchase price allocation is preliminary

Table of Contents
and a final determination of purchase accounting adjustments will be made upon the finalization of the Company’s integration activities, which are expected to be completed during 2007. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The value of the goodwill from this acquisition can be attributed to a number of business factors including, but not limited to, cost synergies expected to be realized and trained technical workforce. In accordance with current accounting standards, goodwill associated with the Red Swoosh acquisition will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”) (see Note 10).
The following table represents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price:
(In thousands) | ||||
Total consideration: | ||||
Value of common stock issued | $ | 18,491 | ||
Transaction costs | 237 | |||
Total purchase consideration | $ | 18,728 | ||
Allocation of the purchase consideration: | ||||
Current assets, including cash and cash equivalents of $2,677 | $ | 3,230 | ||
Long-term assets | 14 | |||
Identifiable intangible assets | 3,731 | |||
Deferred tax assets | 1,355 | |||
Goodwill | 13,301 | |||
Total assets acquired | 21,631 | |||
Deferred tax liabilities | (1,540 | ) | ||
Fair value of liabilities assumed | (1,363 | ) | ||
$ | 18,728 | |||
In determining the purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, its intention to use the acquired assets and the estimated future demand for the acquired technology. The fair value of intangible assets was based upon both the cost avoidance and opportunity cost savings approaches. The rate used to discount the expected future net cash flows from the intangible assets to their present values was based upon a weighted average cost of capital of 20%, with a tax rate of 40%. The discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales and cost savings related to the technology and assets acquired.
The Company has valued the acquired completed technologies at $3.7 million with a weighted average useful life of 4.4 years. The intangible assets are being amortized based upon the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being utilized, which in general reflects the cash flow savings from such assets. None of the goodwill resulting from the Red Swoosh acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.
Netli, Inc.
On March 13, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common and preferred stock, including vested and unvested stock options, of Netli in exchange for approximately 2.8 million shares of Akamai common stock and options to purchase approximately 410,000 shares of Akamai common stock. Akamai acquired Netli with a goal of expanding the Company’s application acceleration technology, as well as broadening its customer base.
The aggregate purchase price was approximately $162.3 million, which consisted of $147.3 million in shares of Akamai common stock, $14.2 million in fair value of assumed stock options and transaction costs of approximately $800,000, which primarily consisted of fees for financial advisory and legal services.

In accordance with EITF No. 99-12, the value of the common stock issued in the transaction was calculated using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five day period beginning two days before and ending two days after the date on which all material aspects of the transaction were agreed to by all parties and the acquisition was announced. In accordance with an escrow agreement between Akamai and Netli, a certain number of shares are held in escrow, the terms of which relate to the retention of specific customers. As a result, approximately 170,000 shares of Akamai common stock have been excluded from the aggregate purchase price, as it is not certain that such shares will be released from escrow and issued to Netli stockholders upon the expiration of the contingency period. As of June 30, 2007, these shares have been excluded from Akamai’s outstanding common stock.
The fair value of the Company’s stock options issued to Netli employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Expected life (years) | 2.1 | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.5 | % | |
Expected volatility | 60.1 | % | |
Dividend yield | — |
The acquisition of Netli was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of the acquired business since March 13, 2007, the date of acquisition, are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007. The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, as determined by management. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and a final determination of purchase accounting adjustments will be made upon the finalization of the Company’s integration activities, which are expected to be completed during 2007. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The value of the goodwill from this acquisition can be attributed to a number of business factors including, but not limited to, potential sales opportunities to provide Akamai services to Netli customers; a trained technical workforce in place in the United States; an existing sales pipeline and a trained sales force; and cost synergies expected to be realized. In accordance with current accounting standards, goodwill associated with Netli will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually as required by SFAS No. 142 (see Note 10).
The following table represents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price:

The following are identified intangible assets acquired and the respective estimated periods over which such assets will be amortized:
Amount | Weighted Average useful life | ||||
(In thousands) | (In years) | ||||
Completed technologies | $ | 17,700 | 4.4 | ||
Customer relationships | 18,500 | 5.9 | |||
Non-compete agreements | 300 | 2.5 | |||
Total | $ | 36,500 | |||
In determining the purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, its intention to use the acquired assets and the historical and estimated future demand for Netli services. The fair value of intangible assets was based upon the income approach. In applying this approach, the values of the intangible assets acquired were determined using projections of revenues and expenses specifically attributed to the intangible assets. The income streams were then discounted to present value using estimated risk adjusted discount rates. The rate used to discount the expected future net cash flows from the intangible assets to their present values was based upon a weighted average cost of capital of 16%. The discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales related to the technology and assets acquired from Netli.
The customer relationships were valued using the discounted cash flow method of income approach. The key assumptions used in valuing the customer relationships are as follows: discount rate of 16%, tax rate of 40% and estimated average economic life of 11 years.
The relief-from-royalty method was used to value the completed technologies acquired from Netli. The relief-from-royalty method is used to estimate the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset that would otherwise be required to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The royalty rate used is based on an analysis of empirical, market-derived royalty rates for guideline intangible assets. Typically, revenue is projected over the expected remaining useful life of the completed technology. The market-derived royalty rate is then applied to estimate the royalty savings. The key assumptions used in valuing the completed technologies are as follows: royalty rate of 15%, discount rate of 16%, tax rate of 40% and estimated average economic life of eight years.
The lost profits method was used to value the non-compete agreements Akamai entered into with certain members of Netli’s management team. The lost profits method recognizes that the current value of an asset may be premised upon the expected receipt of future economic benefits protected by clauses within an agreement. These benefits are generally considered to be higher income resulting from the avoidance of a loss in revenue that would likely occur without an agreement. The key assumptions used in valuing the non-compete agreements are as follows: discount rate of 16%, tax rate of 40% and estimated average economic life of three years.
The total weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets acquired from Netli is 5.1 years. The intangible assets are being amortized based upon the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being utilized, which in general reflects the cash flows generated from such assets. None of the goodwill resulting from the Netli acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.
In connection with the acquisition of Netli, the Company promptly commenced integration activities, which have resulted in recognizing approximately $500,000 in liabilities for employee termination benefits. We expect to pay the liabilities associated with the employee termination benefits throughout the remainder of 2007 and early 2008. Management is in the process of determining whether additional liabilities relating to employee termination benefits or other contractual obligations are required to be recorded.

Nine Systems Corporation
On December 13, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common and preferred stock, including vested and unvested stock options, of Nine Systems in exchange for 2.7 million shares of Akamai common stock, approximately $4.5 million in cash and options to purchase approximately 400,000 shares of Akamai common stock. The purchase of Nine Systems is intended to increase the quantity and types of rich media management tools sold by the Company.
The aggregate purchase price was $157.7 million, which consisted of $133.5 million in shares of common stock, $19.1 million in fair value of assumed stock options, $4.5 million in cash and transaction costs of $600,000, which primarily consisted of fees for financial advisory and legal services. In accordance with EITF No. 99-12, the value of the common stock issued in the transaction was calculated using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five day period beginning two days before and ending two days after the date on which all material aspects of the transaction were agreed to by all parties and the acquisition was announced. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, as determined by management and, with respect to identified intangible assets, by management with the assistance of an appraisal provided by a third-party valuation firm. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The value of the goodwill from this acquisition can be attributed to a number of business factors including, but not limited to, potential sales opportunities of providing Akamai services to Nine Systems customers; a trained technical workforce in place in the United States; existing sales pipeline and trained sales force; and cost synergies expected to be realized. In accordance with current accounting standards, the goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually as required by SFAS No. 142.
3. New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands the requirements for disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but may change current practice for some entities. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows companies to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, SFAS No. 159 specifies that unrealized gains and losses for that instrument shall be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective January 1, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.
4. Restricted Marketable Securities
As of June 30, 2007, $4.3 million of the Company’s marketable securities were classified as restricted. These securities primarily represent collateral for irrevocable letters of credit in favor of third-party beneficiaries, mostly related to facility leases; $3.1 million of these securities are classified as long-term and $1.2 million are

classified as short-term on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007. The restrictions on these marketable securities lapse as the Company fulfills its obligations or as such obligations expire as provided by the letters of credit. These restrictions are expected to lapse at various times through May 2011.
5. Accounts Receivable
Net accounts receivable consists of the following (in thousands):
As of June 30, | As of December 31, 2006 | |||||||
Trade accounts receivable | $ | 91,159 | $ | 75,771 | ||||
Unbilled accounts | 19,514 | 18,327 | ||||||
Total gross accounts receivable | 110,673 | 94,098 | ||||||
Allowance for doubtful accounts | (4,508 | ) | (3,228 | ) | ||||
Reserve for cash-basis customers | (2,438 | ) | (2,240 | ) | ||||

Total accounts receivable reserves | (11,516 | ) | (7,866 | ) | ||||
Total accounts receivable, net | $ | 99,157 | $ | 86,232 | ||||
The Company’s accounts receivable balance includes unbilled amounts that represent revenues recorded for customers that are typically billed within one month. The Company records reserves against its accounts receivable balance. These reserves consist of allowances for doubtful accounts and reserves for cash basis customers and service credits. Increases and decreases in the allowance for doubtful accounts are included as a component of general and administrative expenses. The Company’s reserve for cash-basis customers increases as services are provided to customers where collection is no longer assured. The reserve decreases and revenue is recognized when and if cash payments are received. The Company’s reserve for service credits increases as a result of specific service credits that are expected to be issued to customers during the ordinary course of business, as well as for billing disputes. These credits result in a reduction to revenues. Decreases to the reserve for service credits are the result of actual credits being issued to customers, causing a corresponding reduction in accounts receivable.
Estimates are used in determining these reserves and are based upon the Company’s review of outstanding balances on a customer-specific, account-by-account basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon a review of customer receivables from prior sales with collection issues where the Company no longer believes that the customer will pay for services provided. The Company establishes reserves for all invoices that have been outstanding greater than one year. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers. If such an evaluation indicates that payment is no longer reasonably assured for services provided, any future services provided to that customer will result in the creation of a reserve until the Company receives consistent payments. In addition, the Company reserves a portion of revenues as a reserve for service credits. Reserves for service credits are measured based on an analysis of revenue credits to be issued after the month of billing and an estimate for future credits. These credits typically relate to management’s estimate of the cost of resolving customer disputes and billing adjustments. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

As of June 30, 2007, total pre-tax unrecognized compensation cost for stock options, restricted stock units and stock issued under the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was $137.8 million. This non-cash expense will be recognized through 2011 over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. Nearly all of the Company’s employees have received grants through these equity compensation programs.
Stock Options
Options to purchase common stock are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or, subject to defined limitations, an executive officer of the Company to whom such authority has been delegated. Options granted to date generally have a contractual life of ten years, while options granted under the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan have a contractual life of seven years. Options typically vest as to 25% of the shares one year from date of grant, with the remaining 75% of the shares vesting in twelve equal quarterly installments thereafter so that all options are vested at the end of four years. The exercise price of the option is the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant.

The total pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $27.5 million and $23.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the total pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised was $66.8 million and $51.7 million, respectively. The total fair value of options vested for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $6.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively; and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $11.9 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The fair value of vested stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was calculated net of capitalized stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $6.5 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively; and $13.2 million and $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Deferred Stock Units
The Company has granted deferred stock units (“DSUs”) to non-employee members of its Board of Directors and to the Company’s Executive Chairman. Each DSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The holder may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the vested shares of stock represented by the DSU for a period of at least one year but not more than ten years from the grant date. The DSUs typically vest with respect to 50% of the shares upon the first anniversary of grant date with the remaining 50% of the shares vesting in equal installments of 12.5% each quarter thereafter so that all DSUs are vested at the end of two years.

The total fair value of DSUs that was expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $925,000 and $505,000 respectively. The grant date fair value of each DSU is calculated based upon the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2007, DSUs representing 34,709 shares of common stock were unvested, with a weighted average intrinsic value of $1.7 million and a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 1.5 years. These units are expected to vest through May 2009. All DSUs vest upon fulfilling service conditions or, under certain circumstances, upon a director’s departure from the Board.
Restricted Stock Units
The following table summarizes the different types of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted by the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:
For the Three Months Ended June 30, | For the Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2007 | 2006 | 2007 | 2006 | |||||
RSUs with service-based vesting terms | 86,146 | — | 613,580 | 828,031 | ||||
Performance-based RSUs | — | — | 1,364,802 | 2,409,093 | ||||
Total | 86,146 | — | 1,978,382 | 3,237,124 | ||||
Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The fair value of these RSUs was calculated based upon the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant, and the stock-based compensation expense is being recognized over the vesting period. Most RSUs with service-based vesting provisions vest in three equal annual installments over the three-year period following the grant date so that all such RSUs are vested at the end of three years or in quarterly installments of 6.25% so that all such RSUs are vested at the end of four years.
15
Table of Contents
The Company also granted performance-based RSUs in 2006 as well as during the first six months of 2007. These performance-based RSUs have a three-year cliff vest and will only vest to the extent that the Company exceeds specified cumulative revenue and earnings per share targets over a period of three consecutive fiscal years commencing with the year in which RSU was granted. The maximum number of performance-based RSUs that may vest is equal to 300% of the number of non-performance-based RSUs granted on the same date; such maximum vesting would only occur if the Company meets or exceeds 110% of both its cumulative revenue and earnings per share targets for the three designated fiscal years. No performance-based RSUs will vest if the Company fails to exceed the applicable targets. If the Company’s cumulative revenue and/or earnings per share results for the applicable years is between 100% and 110% of the targets, the holder would receive between zero performance-based RSUs and the maximum deliverable amount set forth above. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, management measured compensation expense for these performance-based RSUs based upon a review of the Company’s expected achievement of future cumulative performance. Such compensation cost is being recognized ratably over three years for each series of grants. Management will continue to review the Company’s expected performance and adjust the compensation cost, if needed, at such time.

As of June 30, 2007, RSUs representing 4.8 million shares of common stock were outstanding and unvested, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $231.7 million and a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 2.3 years. These RSUs are expected to vest through April 2011.
8. Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable quarter. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the quarter, plus the dilutive effect of potential common stock. Potential common stock consists of stock options, DSUs, RSUs and convertible notes.

The Company excluded approximately 192,000 and 161,000 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 598,000 and 374,000 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of such stock options were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the respective periods. Additionally, approximately 3.6 million and 2.4 million shares issuable in respect of RSUs have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share because the performance conditions had not been met as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The calculation of assumed proceeds used to determine the diluted weighted average shares outstanding under the treasury stock method in the periods presented was adjusted by tax windfalls and shortfalls associated with all of the Company’s outstanding stock awards. Such windfalls and shortfalls are computed by comparing the tax deductible amount of outstanding stock awards to their grant date fair values and multiplying the results by the applicable statutory tax rate. A positive result creates a windfall, which increases the assumed proceeds, and a negative result creates a shortfall, which reduces the assumed proceeds.

10. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company recorded goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of business acquisitions during 2000, 2005, 2006 and 2007. The Company also acquired license rights from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1999. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded goodwill of $13.3 million and acquired intangible assets of $3.7 million as a result of the acquisition of Red Swoosh (Note 2). In March 2007, the Company recorded goodwill of $121.3 million and acquired intangible assets of $36.5 million as a result of the acquisition of Netli. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were as follows:

Adjustment to purchase price allocation associated with Nine Systems acquisition | 710 | ||
Ending balance, June 30, 2007 | $ | 374,907 | |
The Company reviews goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually on January 1 of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may exceed their fair value. The Company concluded that it had one reporting unit and assigned the entire balance of goodwill to this reporting unit as of January 1, 2007 for purposes of performing an impairment test. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined using the Company’s market capitalization as of January 1, 2007. The fair value on January 1, 2007 exceeded the net assets of the reporting unit, including goodwill. The carrying value of goodwill, including goodwill recorded as a result of the Netli acquisition, will next be tested for impairment at January 1, 2008, unless events or changes in circumstances suggest a significant reduction in value prior thereto.

Aggregate expense related to amortization of other intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, aggregate expense related to amortization of other intangible assets was $5.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Aggregate expense related to amortization of other intangible assets is expected to be $5.7 million for the remainder of 2007, and $13.4 million, $13.6 million, $12.9 million and $12.3 million for fiscal years 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
11. Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company maintains the majority of its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances principally with domestic financial institutions that the Company believes are of high credit standing. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited to certain customers to which the Company makes substantial sales. The Company’s customer base consists of a large number of geographically dispersed customers diversified across several industries. To reduce risk, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. Based on such assessments, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. No customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2007 or as of December 31, 2006. The Company believes that, at June 30, 2007, concentration of credit risk related to accounts receivable was not significant.
12. Restructurings and Lease Terminations
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $930,000 of accrued restructuring liabilities. In conjunction with our acquisitions of Netli, Nine Systems and Speedera Networks, Inc., the Company’s management committed to plans to exit certain activities of these entities. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination,” the Company recorded a liability of approximately $500,000 related to a workforce reduction expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2007 in connection with the Netli acquisition. This liability primarily consisted of employee severance costs. The Company expects that this liability will be fully paid by June 2008.

13. 1% Convertible Senior Notes
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued 2,588 shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of $40,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 1% convertible senior notes. As of June 30, 2007, the carrying amount and fair value of the 1% convertible senior notes due December 15, 2033 were $200.0 million and $316.7 million, respectively. The initial, and current, conversion price of the 1% convertible senior notes is $15.45 per share (equivalent to 64.7249 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 1% convertible senior notes), subject to adjustment in certain events. The Company may redeem the 1% convertible senior notes on or after December 15, 2010 at the Company’s option at 100% of the principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest. Conversely, holders of the 1% convertible senior notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of such notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on certain specified dates beginning on December 15, 2010. In the event of a change of control, the holders may require Akamai to repurchase all or a portion of such 1% convertible senior notes at a repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Interest on the 1% convertible senior notes began to accrue as of the issue date and is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 1% convertible senior notes are senior unsecured obligations and are the same rank as all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of Akamai. The 1% convertible senior notes rank senior to all of the Company’s subordinated indebtedness. Deferred financing costs of $5.9 million, including the initial purchaser’s discount and other offering expenses, for the 1% convertible senior notes are being amortized over the first seven years of the term of these notes to reflect the put and call rights discussed above. Amortization of deferred financing costs of the 1% convertible senior notes was approximately $210,000 for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. For each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, amortization of deferred financing costs of the 1% convertible senior notes was approximately $420,000. Using the interest method, the Company records the amortization of deferred financing costs as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
14. Segment and Enterprise-Wide Disclosure
Akamai’s chief decision-maker, as defined under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” is the Chief Executive Officer and the executive management team. As of June 30, 2007, Akamai operated in one business segment: providing services for accelerating and improving the delivery of content and applications over the Internet.
The Company deploys its servers into networks worldwide. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $100.0 million and $25.8 million of property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, located in the United States and foreign locations, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $69.0 million and $17.6 million of property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, located in the United States and foreign locations, respectively. Akamai sells its services and licenses certain software through a direct sales force located both in the United States and abroad. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately 23% of revenues was derived from the Company’s operations outside the United States, including 18% from
20
Table of Contents
Europe. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, 22% and 23% of revenues, respectively, was derived from the Company’s operations outside the United States, including 18% from Europe during each period. No single country accounted for 10% or more of revenues derived outside the United States during these periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, no customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues.
15. Taxes
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the second step requires that the tax position then be assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As of the date of adoption, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $2.1 million and did not record any cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as a result of adopting FIN 48. The Company does not expect to recognize any material amount of its previously unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized. Included in the $2.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits is approximately $562,000 of accrued interest and penalties. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense.
Generally, all tax years are open for examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject including federal, state and foreign jurisdictions.
The Company’s effective income tax rate, including discrete items, was 39.4% and 45.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The effective income tax rate is based upon the estimated income for the year, the composition of the income in different jurisdictions, and adjustments, if any, for the potential tax consequences, benefits or resolutions of tax audits. The discrete items include the tax effect of disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and shares purchased under the ESPP as required by SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), and adjustments, if any, for the potential tax consequences, benefits or resolutions of tax audits. For the six months ended June 30 2006, the effective income tax rate varied from the statutory tax rate mainly due to the effects of accounting for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R).
The Company has recorded certain non-income tax reserves as of June 30, 2007, to address potential exposures related to its sales and use and franchise tax positions. These potential tax liabilities result from the varying application of statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations by different jurisdictions. The Company’s estimate of the value of its tax reserves contains assumptions and estimates based on past experiences and judgments about the interpretation of statutes, rules and regulations by taxing jurisdictions. It is possible that the ultimate tax liability or benefit resulting from these matters may be greater or less than the amount that the Company estimated and for which it established reserves.

16. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
Operating Lease Commitments
The Company leases its facilities under non-cancelable operating leases. These operating leases expire at various dates through July 2018 and generally require the payment of real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and operating costs. The expected minimum aggregate future obligations under non-cancelable leases as of June 30, 2007, are as follows (in thousands):
Operating Leases | |||
Remaining 2007 | $ | 5,975 | |
2008 | 11,529 | ||

2010 | 4,488 | ||
2011 | 2,337 | ||
Thereafter | 4,320 | ||
Total | $ | 36,337 | |
Purchase Commitments
The Company has long-term purchase commitments for bandwidth usage and co-location with various network and Internet service providers. For the remainder of 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, the minimum commitments pursuant to contracts in effect as of June 30, 2007 are approximately $20.5 million, $19.9 million, $3.2 million and $225,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had an equipment purchase commitment of approximately $500,000. This purchase commitment expires in August 2007 in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Additionally, as of June 30, 2007, the Company had entered into purchase orders with various vendors for aggregate purchase commitments of $13.5 million, which are expected to be paid over the next twelve months.
Litigation
Between July 2, 2001 and November 7, 2001, purported class action lawsuits seeking monetary damages were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company as well as against the underwriters of its October 28, 1999 initial public offering of common stock. The complaints were filed allegedly on behalf of persons who purchased the Company’s common stock during different time periods, all beginning on October 28, 1999 and ending on various dates. The complaints are similar and allege violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 primarily based on the allegation that the underwriters received undisclosed compensation in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. On April 19, 2002, a single consolidated amended complaint was filed, reiterating in one pleading the allegations contained in the previously filed separate actions. The consolidated amended complaint defines the alleged class period as October 28, 1999 through December 6, 2000. A Special Litigation Committee of the Board of Directors authorized management to negotiate a settlement of the pending claims substantially consistent with a Memorandum of Understanding that was negotiated among class plaintiffs, all issuer defendants and their insurers. The parties negotiated a settlement that is subject to approval by the Court. On February 15, 2005, the Court issued an Opinion and Order preliminarily approving the settlement, provided that the defendants and plaintiffs agree to a modification narrowing the scope of the bar order set forth in the original settlement agreement. The parties agreed to a modification narrowing the scope of the bar order, and on August 31, 2005, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement. On December 5, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit overturned the District Court’s certification of the class of plaintiffs who are pursuing the claims that would be settled in the settlement against the underwriter defendants. Thereafter, the District Court ordered a stay of all proceedings in all of the lawsuits pending the outcome of plaintiffs’ petition to
22
Table of Contents
the Second Circuit for rehearing en banc and resolution of the class certification issue. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs’ rehearing petition, but clarified that the plaintiffs may seek to certify a more limited class in the District Court. On June 25, 2007, the District Court signed an order terminating the settlement. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims made in the complaint, and it intends to contest the lawsuit vigorously. An adverse resolution of the action could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in the period in which the lawsuit is resolved. The Company is not presently able to estimate potential losses, if any, related to this lawsuit.
The Company is party to various litigation matters which management considers routine and incidental to its business. Management does not expect the results of any of these actions to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.
Guarantees
The Company has identified guarantees in accordance with FASB Interpretation 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others — an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.” FIN 45 elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. FIN 45 also clarifies that at the time an entity issues a guarantee, the entity must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes under the guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual financial statements. The Company evaluates losses for guarantees under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies, as Interpreted by FIN 45.” The Company considers such factors as the degree of probability that the Company would be required to satisfy the liability associated with the guarantee and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. To date, the Company has not encountered material costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its financial statements. The fair value of the Company’s guarantees issued or modified during the three months ended June 30, 2007 was determined to be immaterial.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, particularly Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth below, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management as of the date hereof based on information currently available to our management. Use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “should,” “forecasts,” “continues,” “goal,” “likely” or similar expressions, indicate a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make. See “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of certain risks associated with our business. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
We primarily derive income from the sale of services to customers executing contracts with terms of one year or longer, which we refer to as recurring revenue contracts or long-term contracts. These contracts generally commit the customer to a minimum monthly level of usage with additional charges applicable for actual usage above the monthly minimum. In recent years, however, we have entered into an increasing number of customer contracts that have minimum usage commitments that are based on twelve-month or longer periods. We believe that having a consistent and predictable base level of income is important to our financial success. Accordingly, to be successful, we must maintain our base of recurring revenue contracts by eliminating or reducing customer cancellations or terminations and build on that base by adding new customers and increasing the number of services, features and functionalities our existing customers purchase. At the same time, we must ensure that our expenses do not increase faster than, or at the same rate as, our revenues. Accomplishing these goals requires that we compete effectively in the marketplace on the basis of price, quality and the attractiveness of our services and technology.
Recent Events
On April 12, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding equity of Red Swoosh, Inc., or Red Swoosh, in exchange for approximately 350,000 shares of our common stock.
On July 17, 2007, our Board of Directors elected David Kenny to fill a vacancy on the Board.

We were profitable for the fiscal year 2006 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007; however, we cannot guarantee continued profitability or profitability at the levels we have recently experienced for any period in the future. We have observed the following trends and events that are likely to have an impact on our financial condition and results of operations in the foreseeable future:
• | During each quarter of 2006 and for the first two quarters of 2007, the dollar volume of new recurring revenue contracts that we booked exceeded the dollar volume of the contracts we lost through cancellations, terminations and non-payment. A continuation of this trend would likely lead to increased revenues. |
• | During the first two quarters of 2007, we continued to reduce our network bandwidth costs per unit by entering into new supplier contracts with lower pricing and amending existing contracts to take advantage of price reductions offered by our existing suppliers. Additionally, we continue to invest in internal-use software development to improve the performance and efficiency of our network. However, due to increased traffic delivered over our network, our total bandwidth costs have increased during these periods. We believe that our overall bandwidth costs will continue to increase as a result of expected higher traffic levels, but we expect continued reductions in bandwidth costs per unit. If we do not experience lower per unit bandwidth pricing and we are unsuccessful at effectively routing traffic over our network through lower cost providers, network bandwidth costs could increase in excess of our expectations for the remainder of 2007. |
• | During each of the first two quarters of 2007, no customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenues. We expect that customer concentration levels will continue to decline compared to those in prior years if our customer base continues to grow. |
25
Table of Contents
• | During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, revenues derived from customers outside the United States accounted for 23% of our total revenues. We expect revenues from such customers as a percentage of our total revenues to be between 20% and 25% for the remainder of 2007. |
• | As of January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” or SFAS No. 123(R), which requires us to record compensation expense for employee stock awards at fair value at the time of grant. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, our stock-based compensation expense was $17.2 million and $34.0 million, respectively; as compared to $13.2 million and $20.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. We expect that stock-based compensation expense will continue at the current level, or slightly increase in the future, because we have a significant number of unvested employee awards outstanding and plan to continue to grant stock-based compensation awards in the future. As of June 30, 2007, our total unrecognized compensation costs for stock-based awards were $137.8 million, which we expect to recognize as expense over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. |
• | Depreciation expense related to our network equipment increased during the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2007. Due to expected future purchases of network equipment during the remainder of this year, we believe that depreciation expense related to our network equipment will continue to increase, on a quarterly basis, during the remainder of 2007. We expect to continue to enhance and add functionality to our service offerings and capitalize stock-based compensation expense attributable to employees working on such projects, which would increase the amount of capitalized internal-use software costs. As a result, we believe that the amortization of internal-use software development costs, which we include in cost of revenues, will increase on a quarterly basis in 2007 compared to corresponding periods in 2006. |
• | During the six months ended June 30, 2007, our effective income tax rate, including discrete items, was 39.4%. While we expect our annual effective income tax rate to remain relatively constant on a quarterly basis during the remainder of 2007, we do not expect to make significant cash tax payments due to the continued utilization of our deferred tax assets. |
Based on our analysis of, among other things, the aforementioned trends and events, as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we expect to continue to generate net income on a quarterly basis during the remainder of 2007; however, our future results will be affected by many factors identified in the section captioned “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including our ability to:
• | increase our revenue by adding customers through long-term contracts and limiting customer cancellations and terminations; |
• | offset price declines with higher volumes of traffic delivered on our network; |
• | prevent disruptions to our services and network due to accidents or intentional attacks; and |
• | maintain our network bandwidth costs and other operating expenses consistent with our revenues. |
As a result, there is no assurance that we will achieve our expected financial objectives, including generating positive net income in 2007 or any other future period.
Overview
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim periods and Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related items, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, investments, intangible assets, capitalized internal-use software costs, income and other taxes, depreciable lives of property and equipment,

Table of Contents
stock-based compensation costs, restructuring accruals and contingent obligations. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time they were made. Actual results may differ from our estimates. See the section entitled “Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for further discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Results of Operations
Revenues. Revenues increased 52%, or $52.0 million, to $152.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $100.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues increased 52%, or $100.4 million, to $291.9 million as compared to $191.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of customers under recurring revenue contracts, as well as an increase in traffic and additional services sold to new and existing customers, the latter leading to increases in the average revenue per customer during the period. We believe that the continued growth in use of the Internet by businesses and consumers is the principal factor driving increased purchases of our services. Also contributing to the increase in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were revenues generated through the acquisitions of Netli, Inc., or Netli, and Nine Systems Corporation, or Nine Systems. As of June 30, 2007, we had 2,555 customers under recurring revenue contracts as compared to approximately 2,060 as of June 30, 2006.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 23% and 22%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from our operations located outside of the United States, including 18% derived from Europe during each of these periods. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 23% of our total revenues were derived from our operations located outside of the United States, including 18% respectively, derived from Europe. No single country outside of the United States accounted for 10% or more of revenues during these periods. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, resellers accounted for 20% of revenues, as compared to 22% of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. For each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, no customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues.
Cost of Revenues.Cost of revenues includes fees paid to network providers for bandwidth and co-location of our network equipment. Cost of revenues also includes payroll and payroll-related costs and stock-based compensation expense for network operations personnel, cost of software licenses, depreciation of network equipment used to deliver our services, amortization of internal-use software and amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation.
Cost of revenues increased 88%, or $18.6 million, to $39.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $21.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, cost of revenues increased 83%, or $33.7 million, to $74.2 million as compared to $40.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. These increases were primarily due to an increase in amounts paid to network suppliers due to higher traffic levels, partially offset by reduced bandwidth costs per unit, and an increase in depreciation expense of network equipment as we continued to invest in our infrastructure. Additionally, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, cost of revenues includes stock-based compensation expense which increased by $314,000 and $780,000, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Cost of revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 also included credits received of approximately $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, from settlements and renegotiations entered into in connection with billing disputes related to bandwidth contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, cost of revenues included similar credits of approximately $330,000 and $820,000, respectively. Credits of this nature may occur in the future; however, the timing and amount of future credits, if any, is unpredictable.

We have long-term purchase commitments for bandwidth usage and co-location services with various network and Internet service providers. For the remainder of 2007 and for the years ending December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, the minimum commitments related to bandwidth usage and co-location services under agreements currently in effect are approximately $20.5 million, $19.9 million, $3.2 million and $225,000, respectively.
We expect that cost of revenues will increase on a quarterly basis during the remainder of 2007. We expect to deliver more traffic on our network, which would result in higher expenses associated with the increased traffic; however, such costs are likely to be partially offset by lower bandwidth costs per unit. Additionally, for the remainder of 2007, we anticipate increases in depreciation expense related to our network equipment and amortization of internal-use software development costs, along with payroll and related costs, as we expect to continue to make investments in our network as we believe our customer base will expand. Additionally, cost of revenues is expected to increase as a result of higher stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) due to additional equity awards we expect to grant.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs and stock-based compensation expense for research and development personnel who design, develop, test and enhance our services, network and software. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except certain internal-use software development costs requiring capitalization. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we capitalized software development costs of $3.9 million and $7.6 million, respectively, net of impairments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we capitalized software development costs of $3.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively, net of impairments. These development costs consisted of external consulting and payroll and payroll-related costs for personnel involved in the development of internal-use software used to deliver our services and operate our network. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we capitalized $1.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation, as compared to $1.2 million and $1.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. These capitalized internal-use software costs are amortized to costs of revenues over their estimated useful lives of two years.

Table of Contents
Research and development expenses increased 39%, or $3.3 million, to $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, research and development expenses increased 47%, or $7.2 million, to $22.3 million as compared to $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Reflecting an increased emphasis on increasing investment in research and development, the increase in these expenses in 2007 over the same periods in 2006 was due to an increase in payroll and related costs due to an increase in headcount, as well as additional stock-based compensation expense. The following table quantifies the net increase in the various components of our research and development expenses for the periods presented (in millions):
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 as Compared to 2006 | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 as Compared to 2006 | |||||||
Payroll and related costs | $ | 3.5 | $ | 6.3 | ||||

Capitalized salaries and other expenses | (0.8 | ) | (2.0 | ) | ||||
Total net increase | $ | 3.3 | $ | 7.2 | ||||
We believe that research and development expenses will continue to increase on a quarterly basis in the remainder of 2007, as we expect to increase further our hiring of development personnel in order to make investments in our core technology and refinements to our other service offerings. Additionally, research and development expenses are expected to increase as a result of higher stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123(R) due to additional equity awards we expect to grant.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs, stock-based compensation expense and commissions for personnel engaged in marketing, sales and service support functions, as well as advertising and promotional expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 27%, or $8.0 million, to $37.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $29.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, sales and marketing expenses increased 33%, or $18.5 million, to $74.5 million as compared to $56.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in sales and marketing expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher payroll and related costs, particularly commissions for sales and marketing personnel, attributable to revenue growth. The following table quantifies the net increase in the various components of our sales and marketing expenses for the periods presented (in millions):
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 as Compared to 2006 | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 as Compared to | |||||
Payroll and related costs | $ | 4.0 | $ | 8.4 | ||

Marketing and related costs | 1.3 | 2.0 | ||||
Other expenses | 1.3 | 2.5 | ||||
Total net increase | $ | 8.0 | $ | 18.5 | ||
We believe that sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase on a quarterly basis during the remainder of 2007 due to an expected increase in commissions on higher forecasted sales, the expected increase in hiring of sales and marketing personnel, and anticipated increases in other marketing costs such as advertising. Additionally, sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase as a result of higher stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) because of additional equity awards we expect to grant.

Table of Contents
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the following components:
• | payroll, stock-based compensation and other related costs, including related expenses for executive, finance, business applications, network management, human resources and other administrative personnel; |
• | depreciation of property and equipment we use internally; |
• | fees for professional services; |
• | rent and other facility-related expenditures for leased properties; |
• | the provision for doubtful accounts; |
• | insurance costs; and |
• | non-income related taxes. |
General and administrative expenses increased 36%, or $7.9 million, to $29.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $21.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, general and administrative expenses increased 42%, or $16.8 million, to $57.3 million as compared to $40.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in payroll and related costs as a result of headcount growth, as well as stock-based compensation expense. Additionally, facility and related costs have increased due to office expansions and increased expenditures on professional services, particularly legal fees related to current litigation matters. The following table quantifies the net increase in various components of our general and administrative expenses for the periods presented (in millions):
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 as Compared to 2006 | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 as Compared to 2006 | |||||
Payroll and related costs | $ | 1.7 | $ | 4.6 | ||

Professional services | 1.4 | 2.7 | ||||
Other expenses | 0.7 | 1.3 | ||||
Total net increase | $ | 7.9 | $ | 16.8 | ||
During the remainder of 2007, we expect general and administrative expenses to increase on a quarterly basis due to anticipated higher payroll and related costs attributable to increased hiring, an increase in non-income tax expense and an increase in rent and facility costs. Additionally, general and administrative expenses are expected to increase as a result of higher stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123(R) because of additional equity awards we expect to grant.
Amortization of Other Intangible Assets. Amortization of other intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations and amortization of acquired license rights. Amortization of other intangible assets increased 33%, or $734,000, to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, amortization of other intangible assets increased 28%, or $1.2 million, to $5.7 million as compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in amortization of other intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same periods in the prior year was due to the
30
Table of Contents
amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Netli in March 2007 and Nine Systems in December 2006. Based on our currently-owned intangible assets, we expect amortization of other intangible assets to be approximately $5.7 million for the remainder of 2007, and $13.4 million, $13.6 million, $12.9 million and $12.3 million for fiscal years 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Restructuring benefit. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded a restructuring benefit of $178,000 as a result of terminating a facility lease that had previously been recorded as a restructuring liability.
Interest Income. Interest income includes interest earned on invested cash balances and marketable securities. Interest income increased 46%, or $1.9 million, to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, interest income increased 53%, or $4.0 million, to $11.5 million as compared to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our total invested marketable securities period over period due to an increase in our cash from operations.
Interest Expense. Interest expense includes interest paid on our debt obligations as well as amortization of deferred financing costs. Interest expense remained constant for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 at approximately $770,000 and $1.5 million, respectively. Based on our outstanding indebtedness at June 30, 2007, we believe that interest expense on our debt obligations, including deferred financing amortization, will not exceed $3.1 million in the aggregate for fiscal year 2007.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1,000 as a result of a conversion of $40,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 1% convertible senior notes. We did not record any loss on the early extinguishment of debt in the three or six months ended June 30, 2006 or the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Other (Expense) Income, net. Other (expense) income, net primarily represents net foreign exchange gains and losses incurred. Other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $572,000 as compared to other income, net of $475,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, other expense, net was $776,000 as compared to other income, net of $661,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. These changes were due to exchange rate fluctuations. Other (expense) income, net may fluctuate in the future based upon movements in foreign exchange rates or other events.
Gain on Investments, net. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we did not record any net gain or loss on investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded a gain from the sales of marketable securities of $259,000. We do not expect significant gains or losses on investments for the remainder of 2007.
Provision for Income Taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, our effective income tax rate including discrete items was 39.4% and 45.4%, respectively. Provision for income taxes increased 42%, or $4.1 million, to $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, provision for income taxes increased 39%, or $7.4 million, to $26.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was due to an increase in our income before provision for income taxes period over period. At June 30, 2007, we had a $6.3 million deferred tax valuation allowance, which relates to certain state net operating losses, or NOLs, that we expect will expire without being utilized.
While we expect our annual effective income tax rate for the remainder of 2007 to remain relatively constant, this expectation does not take into consideration the effect of discrete items recorded as a result of SFAS No. 123(R). The effective tax rate including the discrete items could be materially different depending of the nature and timing of the dispositions of incentive and other employee stock awards.
31
Table of Contents
Because of the availability of the NOLs referred to above, a significant portion of our future provision for income taxes is expected to be a non-cash expense; consequently, the amount of cash paid in respect of income taxes is expected to be a relatively small portion of the total annualized tax expense during periods in which the NOLs are utilized. In determining our net deferred tax assets and valuation allowances, and projections of our future provision for income taxes, annualized effective tax rates, and cash paid for income taxes, management is required to make judgments and estimates about, among other things, domestic and foreign profitability, the timing and extent of the utilization of NOL carryforwards, applicable tax rates, transfer pricing methodologies and tax planning strategies. Judgments and estimates related to our projections and assumptions are inherently uncertain; therefore, actual results could differ materially from our projections.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the following transactions:
• | private sales of capital stock and subordinated notes in 1998 and 1999, which notes were repaid in 1999; |
• | an initial public offering of our common stock in October 1999, generating net proceeds of $217.6 million after underwriters’ discounts and commissions; |
• | the sale in June 2000 of an aggregate of $300 million in principal amount of our 5 1/2% convertible subordinated notes, which generated net proceeds of $290.2 million and were retired in full between December 2003 and September 2005; |
• | the sale in December 2003 and January 2004 of an aggregate of $200 million in principal amount of our 1% convertible senior notes, which generated net proceeds of $194.1 million; |
• | the public offering of 12 million shares of our common stock in November 2005, which generated net proceeds of $202.1 million; |
• | proceeds from the exercise of stock awards; and |
• | cash generated by operations. |
As of June 30, 2007, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $503.9 million, of which $4.3 million is subject to restrictions limiting our ability to withdraw or otherwise use such cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. See “Letters of Credit” below.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $93.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $60.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to an increase of $18.1 million in net income during the six months ended June 30, 2007. We expect that cash provided by operating activities will continue to increase as a result of an upward trend in cash collections related to higher revenues, partially offset by an expected increase in operating expenses that require cash outlays such as salaries in connection with expected increases in headcount and higher commissions. The timing and amount of future working capital changes and our ability to manage our days sales outstanding will also affect the future amount of cash used in or provided by operating activities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $103.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $102.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 reflects net purchases of short- and long-term available-for-sale securities of $206.1 million and purchases of property and equipment of $61.2 million, including the capitalization of internal-use software development costs related to our current and future service offerings and purchases of network infrastructure equipment. Amounts attributable to these purchases and investments were offset, in part, by the proceeds from sales and maturities of short- and long-term available for sale securities of $156.1 million and $7.9 million of net
32
Table of Contents
cash acquired in the business acquisitions of Netli in March 2007 and Red Swoosh in April 2007. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 reflects net purchases of short- and long-term available-for-sale securities of $191.9 million and purchases of property and equipment of $30.4 million; offset by the proceeds from sales and maturities of short- and long-term available for sale securities of $119.7 million. For fiscal year 2007, we expect purchases of property and equipment, excluding stock-based compensation, a component of cash used in investing activities, to be approximately 16 to 17% of revenues 2007.
Cash provided by financing activities was $28.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 consists of $10.5 million related to excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options and proceeds of $17.8 million from the issuance of common stock upon exercises of stock options under our stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 consists of $10.9 million related to excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options and proceeds of $11.5 million received from the issuance of common stock upon exercises of stock options under our stock option and employee stock purchase plans.
Changes in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are dependent upon changes in, among other things, working capital items such as deferred revenues, accounts payable, accounts receivable and various accrued expenses, as well as changes in our capital and financial structure due to debt repurchases and issuances, stock option exercises, purchases and sales of equity investments and similar events.
The following table represents the net inflows and outflows of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities for the periods presented (in millions):
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 | |||||||
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively | $ | 434.5 | $ | 314.1 | ||||

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively | $ | 503.9 | $ | 367.5 | ||||
We believe, based on our present business plan, that our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and forecasted cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 24 months. If the assumptions underlying our business plan regarding future revenue and expenses change or if unexpected opportunities or needs arise, we may seek to raise additional cash by selling equity or debt securities. We may not, however, be able to sell equity or debt securities on terms we consider reasonable or at all. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or debt securities, these securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those accruing to holders of common stock, and the terms of any such debt could impose restrictions on our operations. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders. See “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of additional factors that could affect our liquidity.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” as of June 30, 2007, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $2.1 million, which included approximately $562,000 of accrued interest and penalties. We do not expect to recognize any of these tax benefits in 2007.
Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2007, we had outstanding $4.3 million in irrevocable letters of credit in favor of third-party beneficiaries, primarily related to facility leases. The letters of credit are collateralized by restricted marketable securities, of which $3.1 million are classified as long-term marketable securities and $1.2 million are classified as short-term marketable securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007. The restrictions on these marketable securities lapse as we fulfill our obligations or as such obligations expire as provided by the letters of credit. These restrictions are expected to lapse through May 2011.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have entered into indemnification agreements with third parties, including vendors, customers, landlords, our officers and directors, shareholders of acquired companies, joint venture partners and third parties to whom we license technology. Generally, these indemnification agreements require us to reimburse losses suffered by the third party due to various events, such as lawsuits arising from patent or copyright infringement or our negligence. These indemnification obligations are considered off-balance sheet arrangements in accordance with FASB Interpretation 45 “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” See also “Guarantees” in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for further discussion of these indemnification agreements. The fair value of guarantees issued or modified during the three months ended June 30, 2007 was determined to be immaterial.
The conversion features of our 1% convertible senior notes due December 15, 2033 are equity-linked derivatives. As such, we recognize these instruments as off-balance sheet arrangements. The conversion features associated with these notes would be accounted for as derivative instruments, except that they are indexed to our common stock and classified in stockholder’s equity. Therefore these instruments meet the scope exception of paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and are accordingly not accounted for as derivatives for purposes of SFAS No. 133.
As of June 30, 2007, we did not have any additional material off-balance sheet arrangements, except for operating leases.

Litigation
We are party to litigation which we consider routine and incidental to our business. Management does not expect the results of any of these actions to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. See “Legal Proceedings” in Item 1 of Part II of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Note 16 of our notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further discussion on litigation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” or SFAS No. 157, which addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands the requirements for disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but may change current practice for some entities. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on our financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” or SFAS No. 159. SFAS No. 159 allows companies to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, SFAS No. 159 specifies that unrealized gains and losses for that instrument shall be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective January 1, 2008. We are evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our financial position and results of operations.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our debt and investment portfolio. We do not hold derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We place our investments with high quality issuers and, by policy, limit the amount of risk by investing primarily in money market funds, United States Treasury obligations, high-quality corporate obligations and certificates of deposit.
Our 1% convertible senior notes are subject to changes in market value. Under certain conditions, the holders of our 1% convertible senior notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at various times on or after December 15, 2010. As of June 30, 2007, the carrying amount and fair value of the 1% convertible senior notes were $200.0 million and $316.7 million, respectively.
We have operations in Europe, Asia, Australia and India. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Additionally, we may continue to expand our operations globally and sell to customers in foreign locations, which may increase our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. We do not have any foreign hedge contracts.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
35
Table of Contents
Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Between July 2, 2001 and November 7, 2001, purported class action lawsuits seeking monetary damages were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against us as well as against the underwriters of our October 28, 1999 initial public offering of common stock. The complaints were filed allegedly on behalf of persons who purchased our common stock during different time periods, all beginning on October 28, 1999 and ending on various dates. The complaints are similar and allege violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 primarily based on the allegation that the underwriters received undisclosed compensation in connection with our initial public offering. On April 19, 2002, a single consolidated amended complaint was filed, reiterating in one pleading the allegations contained in the previously filed separate actions. The consolidated amended complaint defines the alleged class period as October 28, 1999 through December 6, 2000. A Special Litigation Committee of our Board of Directors authorized management to negotiate a settlement of the pending claims substantially consistent with a Memorandum of Understanding that was negotiated among class plaintiffs, all issuer defendants and their insurers. The parties negotiated a settlement that is subject to approval by the Court. On February 15, 2005, the Court issued an Opinion and Order preliminarily approving the settlement, provided that the defendants and plaintiffs agree to a modification narrowing the scope of the bar order set forth in the original settlement agreement. The parties agreed to a modification narrowing the scope of the bar order, and on August 31, 2005, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement. On December 5, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit overturned the District Court’s certification of the class of plaintiffs who are pursuing the claims that would be settled in the settlement against the underwriter defendants. Thereafter, the District Court ordered a stay of all proceedings in all of the lawsuits pending the outcome of plaintiffs’ petition to the Second Circuit for rehearing en banc and resolution of the class certification issue. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs’ rehearing petition, but clarified that the plaintiffs may seek to certify a more limited class in the District Court. On June 25, 2007, the District Court signed an order terminating the settlement. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims made in the complaints, and we intend to contest the lawsuit vigorously. An adverse resolution of the action could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations in the period in which the lawsuit is resolved. We are not presently able to estimate potential losses, if any, related to this lawsuit if the settlement is not finalized and approved.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
The following are certain of the important factors that could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by management from time to time. We have not made any material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. We have, however, added information regarding risks associated with our acquisitions of Netli in the first quarter of 2007 and Red Swoosh in the second quarter of 2007 in the risk factor captioned “As part of our business strategy, we have entered into and may enter into or seek to enter into business combinations and acquisitions that may be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value or divert management attention.” In addition, we have included the amount of our long-term debt at June 30, 2007 instead of at December 31, 2006 in the risk factor captioned “Any failure to meet our debt obligations would damage our business.” In the risk factor entitled “Future changes in financial accounting standards may adversely affect our reported results of operations,” we deleted the second paragraph, which provided additional detail about the requirements of accounting standards applicable to compensation expense that became effective in 2006.

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete successfully against new entrants with innovative approaches and established companies with greater resources.
We compete in markets that are intensely competitive, highly fragmented and rapidly changing. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience increased competition. Many of our current competitors, as well as a number of our potential competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and industry alliances and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. Some of our existing resellers are potential competitors. If one or more resellers that generate substantial revenues for us were to terminate our relationship and become a competitor or a reseller for a competitor, our business could be adversely affected. Other competitors may attract customers by offering comparable, less-sophisticated versions of services than we provide at lower prices than those we charge. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Some of our current or potential competitors may bundle their offerings with other services, software or hardware in a manner that may discourage website owners from purchasing any service we offer. Increased competition could result in price and revenue reductions, loss of customers and loss of market share, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, potential customers may decide to purchase or develop their own hardware, software and other technology solutions rather than rely on an external provider like Akamai. As a result, our competitors include hardware manufacturers, software companies and other entities that offer Internet-related solutions that are not service-based. It is an important component of our growth strategy to educate enterprises and government agencies about our services and convince them to entrust their content and applications to an external service provider, and Akamai in particular. If we are unsuccessful in such efforts, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.
If we are unable to sell our services at acceptable prices relative to our costs, our business and financial results are likely to suffer.
Prices we have been charging for some of our services have declined in recent years. We expect that this decline may continue in the future as a result of, among other things, existing and new competition in the markets we serve. Consequently, our historical revenue rates may not be indicative of future revenues based on comparable traffic volumes. In addition, our operating expenses have increased on an absolute basis in each of 2004, 2005 and 2006. If we are unable to sell our services at acceptable prices relative to our costs or if we are unsuccessful with our strategy of selling additional services and features to our existing content delivery customers, our revenues and gross margins will decrease, and our business and financial results will suffer.
Failure to increase our revenues and keep our expenses consistent with revenues could prevent us from maintaining profitability at recent levels or at all.
The year ended December 31, 2004 was the first fiscal year during which we achieved profitability as measured in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have large fixed expenses, and we expect to continue to incur significant bandwidth, sales and marketing, product development, administrative and other expenses. Therefore, we will need to generate higher revenues to maintain profitability at recent levels or at all. There are numerous factors that could, alone or in combination with other factors, impede our ability to increase revenues and/or moderate expenses, including:
• | failure to increase sales of our core services; |
• | significant increases in bandwidth costs or other operating expenses; |
• | market pressure to decrease our prices; |
• | any failure of our current and planned services and software to operate as expected; |
38
Table of Contents
• | loss of any significant customers or loss of existing customers at a rate greater than we increase our number of new customers or our sales to existing customers; |
• | unauthorized use or access to content delivered over our network or network failures; |
• | failure of a significant number of customers to pay our fees on a timely basis or at all or failure to continue to purchase our services in accordance with their contractual commitments; and |
• | inability to attract high-quality customers to purchase and implement our current and planned services. |
As part of our business strategy, we have entered into and may enter into or seek to enter into business combinations and acquisitions that may be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value or divert management attention.
On April 12, 2007, we completed our acquisition of Red Swoosh. On March 13, 2007, we completed our acquisition of Netli, and in December 2006 and June 2005 we completed our acquisitions of Nine Systems and Speedera Networks, Inc., or Speedera, respectively. We may seek to enter into additional business combinations or acquisitions in the future. Acquisitions are typically accompanied by a number of risks, including the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, the potential disruption of our ongoing business, the potential distraction of management, expenses related to the acquisition and potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses. Any inability to integrate completed acquisitions in an efficient and timely manner could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. If we are not successful in completing acquisitions that we may pursue in the future, we may incur substantial expenses and devote significant management time and resources without a productive result. In addition, future acquisitions could require use of substantial portions of our available cash or, as in the Red Swoosh, Netli, Nine Systems and Speedera acquisitions, dilutive issuances of securities.
Future changes in financial accounting standards may adversely affect our reported results of operations.
A change in accounting standards can have a significant effect on our reported results. New accounting pronouncements and interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. These new accounting pronouncements may adversely affect our reported financial results. For example, beginning in 2006, under SFAS No. 123(R), we became required to account for our stock-based awards as a compensation expense and, as a result, our net income and net income per share in subsequent periods has been significantly reduced. Previously, we recorded stock-based compensation expense only in connection with option grants that have an exercise price below fair market value at the time they were granted.
If we are unable to develop new services and enhancements to existing services, and if we fail to predict and respond to emerging technological trends and customers’ changing needs, our operating results may suffer.
The market for our services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and new product and service introductions. Our operating results depend on our ability to develop and introduce new services into existing and emerging markets. The process of developing new technologies is complex and uncertain; we must commit significant resources to developing new services or enhancements to our existing services before knowing whether our investments will result in services the market will accept. Furthermore, we may not execute successfully our technology initiatives because of errors in planning or timing, technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion, misunderstandings about market demand or a lack of appropriate resources. Failures in execution or market acceptance of new services we introduce could result in competitors providing those solutions before we do and, consequently, loss of market share, revenues and earnings.

Any unplanned interruption in the functioning of our network or services could lead to significant costs and disruptions that could reduce our revenues and harm our business, financial results and reputation.
Our business is dependent on providing our customers with fast, efficient and reliable distribution of application and content delivery services over the Internet. For our core services, we currently provide a standard guarantee that our networks will deliver Internet content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If we do not meet this standard, our customer does not pay for all or a part of its services on that day. Our network or services could be disrupted by numerous events, including natural disasters, unauthorized access to our servers, failure or refusal of our third-party network providers to provide the necessary capacity, power losses and intentional disruptions of our services, such as disruptions caused by software viruses or attacks by unauthorized users. Although we have taken steps to prevent such disruptions, there can be no assurance that attacks by unauthorized users will not be attempted in the future, that our enhanced security measures will be effective or that a successful attack would not be damaging. Any widespread interruption of the functioning of our network or services would reduce our revenues and could harm our business, financial results and reputation.
Because our services are complex and are deployed in complex environments, they may have errors or defects that could seriously harm our business.
Our services are highly complex and are designed to be deployed in and across numerous large and complex networks. From time to time, we have needed to correct errors and defects in our software. In the future, there may be additional errors and defects in our software that may adversely affect our services. We may not have in place adequate quality assurance procedures to ensure that we detect errors in our software in a timely manner. If we are unable to efficiently fix errors or other problems that may be identified, or if there are unidentified errors that allow persons to improperly access our services or that otherwise affect our services, we could experience loss of revenues and market share, damage to our reputation, increased expenses and legal actions by our customers.
We may have insufficient transmission and server capacity, which could result in interruptions in our services and loss of revenues.
Our operations are dependent in part upon transmission capacity provided by third-party telecommunications network providers. In addition, our distributed network must be sufficiently robust to handle all of our customers’ traffic. We believe that we have access to adequate capacity to provide our services; however, there can be no assurance that we are adequately prepared for unexpected increases in bandwidth demands by our customers. In addition, the bandwidth we have contracted to purchase may become unavailable for a variety of reasons, including payment disputes or network providers going out of business. Any failure of these network providers to provide the capacity we require, due to financial or other reasons, may result in a reduction in, or interruption of, service to our customers. If we do not have access to third-party transmission capacity, we could lose customers. If we are unable to obtain transmission capacity on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all, our business and financial results could suffer. We may not be able to deploy on a timely basis enough servers to meet the needs of our customer base or effectively manage the functioning of those servers. In addition, damage or destruction of, or other denial of access to, a facility where our servers are housed could result in a reduction in, or interruption of, service to our customers.
If the estimates we make, and the assumptions on which we rely, in preparing our financial statements prove inaccurate, our actual results may be adversely affected.
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments about, among other things, taxes, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation costs, capitalization of internal-use software, contingent obligations, doubtful accounts, intangible assets and restructuring charges. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, the
40
Table of Contents
amounts of charges accrued by us, such as those made in connection with our restructuring charges, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and at the time they are made. If our estimates or the assumptions underlying them are not correct, we may need to accrue additional charges that could adversely affect our results of operations, which in turn could adversely affect our stock price.
If we are unable to retain our key employees and hire qualified sales and technical personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed.
Our future success depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key technology, sales, marketing and support personnel who have critical industry experience and relationships that they rely on in implementing our business plan. There is increasing competition for talented individuals in the areas in which our primary offices are located. This affects both our ability to retain key employees and hire new ones. None of our officers or key employees is bound by an employment agreement for any specific term. The loss of the services of any of our key employees could delay the development and introduction of, and negatively impact our ability to sell, our services.
If our license agreement with MIT terminates, our business could be adversely affected.
We have licensed technology from MIT covered by various patents, patent applications and copyrights relating to Internet content delivery technology. Some of our core technology is based in part on the technology covered by these patents, patent applications and copyrights. Our license is effective for the life of the patents and patent applications; however, under limited circumstances, such as a cessation of our operations due to our insolvency or our material breach of the terms of the license agreement, MIT has the right to terminate our license. A termination of our license agreement with MIT could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We may need to defend our intellectual property and processes against patent or copyright infringement claims, which would cause us to incur substantial costs.
Other companies or individuals, including our competitors, may hold or obtain patents or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or sell our services or develop new services, which could make it more difficult for us to increase revenues and improve or maintain profitability. Companies holding Internet-related patents or other intellectual property rights are increasingly bringing suits alleging infringement of such rights. Any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and require us to do one or more of the following:
• | cease selling, incorporating or using products or services that incorporate the challenged intellectual property; |
• | pay substantial damages; |
• | obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; or |
• | redesign products or services. |
If we are forced to take any of these actions, our business may be seriously harmed. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to obtain a license to the infringed technology, our business and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
41
Table of Contents
Our business will be adversely affected if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use or infringement by third parties.
We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We have previously brought lawsuits against entities that we believe are infringing on our intellectual property rights. Such lawsuits can be expensive and require a significant amount of attention of our management and technical personnel, and the outcomes are unpredictable. These legal protections afford only limited protection. Monitoring unauthorized use of our services is difficult and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. Although we have licensed from other parties proprietary technology covered by patents, we cannot be certain that any such patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that any pending or future patent applications will be granted, that any future patent will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that rights granted under any patent that may be issued will provide competitive advantages to us.
We face risks associated with international operations that could harm our business.
We have operations in several foreign countries and may continue to expand our sales and support organizations internationally. Such expansion could require us to make significant expenditures. We are increasingly subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities that may increase our costs, lengthen our sales cycle and require significant management attention. These risks include:
• | increased expenses associated with marketing services in foreign countries; |
• | currency exchange rate fluctuations; |
• | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements resulting in unanticipated costs and delays; |
• | interpretations of laws or regulations that would subject us to regulatory supervision or, in the alternative, require us to exit a country, which could have a negative impact on the quality of our services or our results of operations; |
• | longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable; and |
• | potentially adverse tax consequences. |
Any failure to meet our debt obligations would damage our business.
We have long-term debt. As of June 30, 2007, our total long-term debt was approximately $200.0 million. If we are unable to remain profitable or if we use more cash than we generate in the future, our level of indebtedness could adversely affect our future operations by increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions and by limiting or prohibiting our ability to obtain additional financing for future capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate and other purposes. In addition, if we are unable to make interest or principal payments when due, we would be in default under the terms of our long-term debt obligations, which would result in all principal and interest becoming due and payable which, in turn, would seriously harm our business.
Internet-related and other laws could adversely affect our business.
Laws and regulations that apply to communications and commerce over the Internet are becoming more prevalent. In particular, the growth and development of the market for online commerce has prompted calls for more stringent tax, consumer protection and privacy laws, both in the United States and abroad, that may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online or providing Internet-related services such as ours. This could negatively affect both our business directly as well as the businesses of our customers, which could reduce their demand for our services. Tax laws that might apply to our servers, which are located in many
42
Table of Contents
different jurisdictions, could require us to pay additional taxes that would adversely affect our profitability. We have recorded certain tax reserves to address potential exposures involving our sales and use and franchise tax positions. These potential tax liabilities result from the varying application of statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations by different jurisdictions. Our reserves, however, may not be adequate to reflect our total actual liability. Internet-related laws remain largely unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action. The adoption or modification of laws or regulations relating to the Internet or our operations, or interpretations of existing law, could adversely affect our business.
Provisions of our charter documents, our stockholder rights plan and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could prevent a change in control even if the change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders.
Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated by-laws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, our Board of Directors has adopted a stockholder rights plan the provisions of which could make it more difficult for a potential acquirer of Akamai to consummate an acquisition transaction without the approval of our Board of Directors.
Our stock price has been volatile.
The market price of our common stock has been volatile. Trading prices may continue to fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, including the following:
• | quarterly variations in operating results and announcements of innovations; |
• | failure to achieve growth rates comparable to prior periods; |
• | new products, services and strategic developments by us or our competitors; |
• | business combinations and investments by us or our competitors; |
• | variations in our revenue, expenses or profitability; |
• | changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts; |
• | failure to meet the expectations of public market analysts; |
• | performance by other companies in our industry; and |
• | geopolitical conditions such as acts of terrorism or military conflicts. |
Any of these events may cause the price of our shares to fall. In addition, the stock market in general and the market prices for technology companies in particular have experienced significant volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our shares, regardless of our operating performance.
If we are required to seek additional funding, such funding may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
If our revenues decrease or grow more slowly than we anticipate, if our operating expenses increase more than we expect or cannot be reduced in the event of lower revenues, or if we seek to acquire significant businesses or technologies, we may need to obtain funding from outside sources. If we are unable to obtain this funding, our business would be materially and adversely affected. In addition, even if we were to find outside funding sources, we might be required to issue securities with greater rights than the securities we have outstanding today. We might also be required to take other actions that could lessen the value of our common stock, including borrowing money on terms that are not favorable to us. In addition, we may not be able to raise any additional capital.
43
Table of Contents
A class action lawsuit has been filed against us and an adverse resolution of such action could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations in the period in which the lawsuit is resolved.
We are named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit filed in 2001 alleging that the underwriters of our initial public offering received undisclosed compensation in connection with our initial public offering of common stock in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act. See Item 1 of Part II of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for more information. Any conclusion of these matters in a manner adverse to us could have a material adverse affect on our financial position and results of operations.
We may become involved in other litigation that may adversely affect us.
In the ordinary course of business, we are or may become involved in litigation, administrative proceedings and governmental proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
On April 12, 2007, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Red Swoosh in a merger transaction. In accordance with the terms of the agreement governing the merger, we issued approximately 350,000 shares of our common stock, par value $.01 per share, to the holders of shares of Red Swoosh capital stock and assumed Red Swoosh’s outstanding options, which became fully-vested options to purchase 65 shares of Akamai common stock. Approximately 38,000 of the shares issued at closing were placed in escrow primarily to secure the indemnification obligations of Red Swoosh’s former stockholders. The Akamai securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the exemptions set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. The issuance of shares of Akamai common stock in connection with our acquisition of Red Swoosh was made to a limited number of persons, there being no more than 35 purchasers of the securities, as determined in accordance with Regulation D. Based on representations made to us, all of the purchasers were either “accredited investors” (as defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) or either alone or with a purchaser representative had such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters at the time of the acquisition that such person was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective acquisition of Akamai common stock. Under the terms of the agreement governing the merger, we agreed to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission the shares of its common stock issued to former Red Swoosh stockholders in the merger.
Item 4. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
On May 15, 2007, we held our 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the meeting, the following matters were approved by the votes specified below:
1. Ronald Graham, F. Thomson Leighton, Paul Sagan and Naomi Seligman were elected to serve as directors of Akamai until the 2010 annual meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. With respect to Mr. Graham, 143,931,640 shares of common stock were voted in favor of his election, and 1,092,171 shares of common stock were withheld. With respect to Mr. Leighton, 143,512,846 shares of common stock were voted in favor of his election, and 1,510,965 shares were withheld. With respect to Mr. Sagan, 144,165,964 shares of common stock were voted in favor of his election, and 857,847 shares of common stock were withheld. With respect to Ms. Seligman, 143,919,637 shares of common stock were voted in favor of her election, and 1,104,174 shares of common stock were withheld. There were no abstentions or broker non-votes. The terms of Messrs. Conrades, Coyne, Kight, Moore and Salerno continued after the meeting.
2. The ratification of PricewaterhouseCooopers LLP as our independent public accountants for the year ended December 31, 2007 was approved. The votes were cast as follows: 141,717,312 shares of common stock were voted for the ratification, 3,180,114 shares of common stock were voted against the ratification, and 126,385 shares of common stock abstained from the vote. There were no broker non-votes.
