Quarterly Revenue Approaches a New Scale

Cloudflare generated USD 782.5 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2026, a 39% increase from the same period a year earlier. The business sells connectivity, security and developer tools through its global network. Current remaining performance obligations grew 37% year-on-year, an indicator of contracted commitments expected to be recognized over the applicable period. These obligations are not revenue already delivered in the current quarter.

Profitability Depends on the Reporting Measure

Cloudflare recorded a GAAP operating loss of USD 67.9 million, equal to approximately 8.7% of revenue. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income was USD 137.1 million, representing a 17.5% margin. GAAP net loss was USD 34.1 million, while adjusted Net Income reached USD 143.7 million. The differing measures reflect accounting adjustments and must be kept separate in coverage of the company’s performance.

Cash Flow and Platform Development

Net cash provided by Operating Activities was USD 215.4 million, and free Cash Flow totaled USD 82.1 million during the quarter. At September 30, Cloudflare reported USD 5.13 billion in cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities. Its wider product positioning includes security, network connectivity and developer services for applications incorporating artificial intelligence. This product strategy does not, on its own, establish a specific future growth rate.

Quarterly and Annual Outlook Set the Benchmarks

Management expects fourth-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 845 million to USD 846 million and non-GAAP operating income of USD 156 million to USD 157 million. For the full year, it projected revenue of USD 2.963 billion to USD 2.964 billion. Actual performance will depend on the company’s operational execution and customer demand; these forecasts are not completed results.
