Presentation

[Operator]

Welcome to the Second Quarter twenty twenty five Arista Networks Financial Results Earnings Conference Call. During the call, all participants will be in a listen only mode. After the presentation, we will conduct a question and answer session. Instructions will be provided at that time. Mr. Rudolf Virajo, Arista's Head of Investor Advocacy, you may begin.

[Rudolph Araujo, Head - Investor Advocacy at Arista Networks]

Thank you, Regina. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. With me on today's call are Jayshree Wallal, Arista Networks' Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer and Shantel Bridehub, Arista's Chief Financial Officer. This afternoon, Arista Networks issued a press release announcing the results for its fiscal second quarter ending 06/30/2025. If you want a copy of the release, you can access it online at our website.

[Rudolph Araujo, Head - Investor Advocacy at Arista Networks]

During the course of this conference call, Arista Networks management will make forward looking statements, including those relating to our financial outlook for the 2025 fiscal year, longer term business model and financial outlooks for 2025 and beyond. Our total addressable market and strategy for addressing these market opportunities, including AI, custom demand trends, tariffs and trade restrictions, supply chain constraints, component costs, manufacturing output, inventory management and inflationary pressures on our business, lead times, product innovation, working capital optimization and the benefits of acquisitions, which are subject to the risks and uncertainties that we discuss in detail in our documents filed with the SEC, specifically in our most recent Form 10 Q and Form 10 ks, and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these statements. These forward looking statements apply as of today, and you should not rely on them as representing our views in the future. We undertake no obligation to update these statements after this call. This analysis of our Q2 results and our guidance for Q3 twenty twenty five is based on non GAAP and excludes all non cash stock based compensation impacts, certain acquisition related charges and other non recurring items.

[Rudolph Araujo, Head - Investor Advocacy at Arista Networks]

A full reconciliation of our selected GAAP to non GAAP results is provided in our earnings release. With that, I will turn the call over to Jayshree.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Thank you, Rudy, and thank you everyone for joining us this afternoon for our second quarter twenty twenty five earnings call. Arista is experiencing momentum in our business as demonstrated in our record Q2 twenty twenty five results. We achieved $2,200,000,000 this quarter, surpassing our plan by $100,000,000 Software and service renewals contributed approximately 16.3% of revenue. Our non GAAP gross margins of 65.6% was influenced by efficient supply chain and inventory benefit with a non material tariff impact in the quarter. International contributions for the quarter registered strongly at 21.8% with The Americas at 78.2%.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Reviewing our midyear inflection point, our conviction with AI and cloud titans and enterprise customers has only strengthened. We began the year with a pragmatic guide of 17% or 8,200,000,000.0 annual revenue. But as the year has progressed, we recognize the potential to build a truly transformational networking company addressing a massive total available market. This feels to us like a unique once in a lifetime opportunity. We therefore raised our 2025 annual growth to 25%, now targeting 8,750,000,000.00 in revenue, which is an incremental 550,000,000 more due to our increased momentum that we are experiencing across AI, cloud, and enterprise sectors.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

It is important to appreciate that Arista's AI center strategy is complementing our data center focus to drive some of this increase. AI centers consist of both scale out front end and scale up scale out combination for back end networks. Scale up back end networks consist of high bandwidth, low latency interconnects that tightly link multiple accelerators within a single rack as a unified compute system with workload parallelism. Today, this is predominantly constructed with NVLink as a compute attached IO, but we do expect a move to open standards such as Ethernet or UA link in the next few years. Scale out back end network is dedicated spines interconnecting XPUs across racks, engineered for high bandwidth and minimal latency, thereby resulting in efficient parallel processing of massive training models. Here, InfiniBand is rapidly migrating to Ethernet based on the ultra Ethernet consortium specification released in June 2025. Scale out front end connects the back end clusters to external clouds, compute resources, storage, wide area networks, and data center interconnect to handle data ingestion, orchestration for AI, and cloud traffic in a leaf spine network topology.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Arista's flagship EtherLink and EOS are key hallmarks of scale out networking with a wide breadth and depth of network protocol support. Introduced in 2024, Arista's EtherLink portfolio is now 20 plus products with the most comprehensive and complete solution in the industry, especially for scale out back end and scale out front end networking. It highlights our accelerated networking approach, bringing a single point of network control and visibility differentiation and improved GPU utilization. Poor networks and bottlenecks lead to idle cycles on GPUs, wasting both capital GPU costs and operational expenses such as power and cooling. With a 30 to 50% processing time spent in exchanging data over networks and GPU, the economic impact of building an efficient GPU cluster with good networking improves utilization, and this this is super paramount.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Our stated goal of 750,000,000 back end AI networking is well on track and gaining from nearly zero revenue three years ago in 2022 to production deployments this year in 2025. As a reminder to you all, the back end AI is all incremental revenue and incremental market share to Arista. As large language models continue to expand into distributed training and inference use cases, we expect to see the back end and the front end converge and call us more together. This will make it increasingly difficult to parse the back end and the front end precisely in the future, but we do expect an aggregate AI networking revenue to be ahead of the 1,500,000,000.0 in 2025 and growing in many years to come. We will elaborate more on this in Analyst Day in September, including our AI strategy and forecast.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

What is crystal clear to us and our customers is that Arista continues to be the premier and preferred AI networking platform of choice for all flavors of AI accelerators. While majority today is NVIDIA GPUs, we are entering early pilots connecting with alternate AI accelerators, including startup XPUs, the AMD MI series, and in AI and Titan customers who are building their own XPUs. As we continue to progress with our four top AI Titan customers, AI is also spreading its wings into the enterprise and neo cloud sectors, and we are winning approximately 25 to 30 customers to date. The rise in agentic AI ensures any to any conversations with bidirectional bandwidth utilization. Such AI agents are pushing the envelope of LAN and WAN traffic patterns in the enterprise.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

So speaking of WAN, we are very pleased to announce the purchase of SD WAN leader VeloCloud to offer modern branches in the agentic AI era. VeloCloud secure AI optimized WAN portfolio offers seamless application aware solutions to connect customer branch sites, complementing Arista's leading spines in the data center and campus. In a classic leaf spine atomic identifier, we are enabling multipathing, encryption, in band network telemetry, segmentation, application identification, and traffic engineering across distributed enterprise sites. We are so excited to fill this missing void in our distributed enterprise puzzle to bring that holistic brand solution. This also increases our foothold with managed service providers, MSPs, as an important route to market for our distributed campus and branch offerings.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

We also intend to work closely with best of breed security partners to enable SASE overlays. Please do note that Velo is not material in 2025, and we have some work to do to restore annual revenue back to pre Broadcom levels. Last quarter, I shared the development and internal promotions of several tenured executives at Arista to bolster our leadership. They display that strong cultural synergy and a mission to ignite innovation and delight our customers. As we enter the next phase of arista2.o, growing from 5,800,000,000.0 in '23 to a forecasted 10,000,000,000 revenue in 2026, we rely on this trifecta foundation of great customers, innovative products, and great next gen leaders to achieve this.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

I am so thrilled to welcome Todd Nightingale as Arista's president and chief operating officer. Todd brings that incredible passion for networking with his over two decades of technical leadership in Meraki, Cisco, and most recently, CEO of Fastly. In just a month, he is epitomizing epitomizing the Arista way, and I'm really looking forward to his impactful contributions to boost Arista's overall campus and enterprise operations. Todd, welcome to your first ANet earnings call. How does it feel to be here?

[Todd Nightingale, President & COO at Arista Networks]

It's amazing. It's only been a month, but I can't tell you how impressed I am with the passion and focus of the team, the trust that Arista customers have in the technology, and the enormous opportunity we have ahead of us in data center, AI, and in the campus. I'll be primarily focused on our enterprise customer engagement, bringing new customers to Arista, and operational excellence across the organization. Personally, I'm so incredibly excited to be back in networking, and I'm truly, truly honored to be here. Thank you so much, Jayshree.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Thank you, Todd. It's gonna be a fun journey here with us. You know, it's really an unprecedented time in networking where Arista is so uniquely positioned to enable the modern network transformation. And with that, my dear friend Shantel, over to you, our CFO, for the financial specifics. Thank you, Jayshree.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

With that as the backdrop of our strong business outlook, let me

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

now take us through the metrics that underscore our momentum. Total revenues in q two were $2,200,000,000 up 30.4% year over year, above our guidance of $2,100,000,000 This was supported by strong growth across all of our product sectors. International revenues for the quarter came in at $481,000,000 or 21.8% of total revenue, up from 20.3% in the prior quarter. This quarter over quarter increase was driven by a relatively stronger performance in our EMEA region. The overall gross margin in Q2 was 65.6%, above our guidance of 63%, up from 64.1% last quarter and up from 65.4% in the prior year quarter.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

The quarter over quarter gross margin improvement was primarily driven by improved inventory management and related excess and obsolescence reserves. Operating expenses for the quarter were $370,600,000 or 16.8% of revenue, up from last quarter at $327,400,000 R and D spending came in at $243,300,000 or 11% of revenue, up from $209,400,000 in the last quarter. This primarily reflected higher new product introduction costs in the period. Sales and marketing expense was $105,300,000 or 4.8% of revenue compared to $94,300,000 last quarter, inclusive of a continued focus on our partner programs. Our G and A costs came in at $22,000,000 or 1% of revenue, down from last quarter at $23,700,000 Our operating income for the quarter was $1,080,000,000 crossing $1,000,000,000 for the first time in Arista's history, landing at 48.8% of revenue.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

Other income and expenses for the quarter was a favorable $88,600,000 and our effective tax rate was 20.7%. This resulted in net income for the quarter of $923,500,000 or 41.9% of revenue. Our diluted share number was 1,271,000,000.000 shares, resulting in a diluted earnings per share number for the quarter of $0.73 up 37.7% from the prior year. Now on to the balance sheet. Cash, cash equivalents and investments ended the quarter at 8,800,000,000 In the quarter, we repurchased $196,000,000 of our common stock at an average price of $80.7 per share.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

Of the $1,500,000,000 repurchase program approved in May 2025, dollars 1,400,000,000.0 remains available for repurchase in future quarters. Actual timing and amount of future repurchases will be dependent on market and business conditions, stock price and other factors. Now turning to operating cash performance for the second quarter. We generated approximately $1,200,000,000 in cash from operations in the period, the highest in Arista's history, reflecting a strong business model performance. DSOs came in at sixty seven days, up from sixty four days in Q1, driven by billing linearity.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

Inventory turns were 1.4 times flat to last quarter. Inventory increased to $2,100,000,000 in the quarter, up from $2,000,000,000 in the prior period, reflecting an increase in our finished goods inventory, which is an outcome of our global tariff and supply chain management. Our purchase commitments and inventory at the end of the quarter totaled $5,700,000,000 up from $5,500,000,000 at the end of Q1. We expect this number to stabilize as supplier lead times improve, but we'll continue to have some variability in future quarters as a reflection of demand for our new product introductions. Our total deferred revenue balance was 4,100,000,000 up from $3,100,000,000 in Q1.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

The majority of the deferred revenue balance is services related and directly linked to the timing and term of service contracts, which can vary on a quarter by quarter basis. Our product deferred revenue increased approximately $687,000,000 versus last quarter. We remain in a period of ramping our new products, winning new customers and expanding new use cases, including AI. These trends have resulted in increased customer specific acceptance clauses and an increase in the volatility of our product deferred revenue balances. As mentioned in prior quarters, the deferred balance can move significantly on a quarterly basis independent of underlying business drivers.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

Accounts payable days was sixty five days, up from forty nine days in Q1, reflecting the timing of inventory receipts and payments. Capital expenditures for the quarter were $24,000,000 In October 2024, we began our initial construction work to build expanded facilities in Santa Clara, and we expect to incur approximately $100,000,000 in CapEx during fiscal year twenty twenty five for this project. Now turning to guidance. Building on this strong Q2 first half performance, we expect continued momentum in the quarters ahead. Let's first start with our outlook for fiscal year twenty twenty five.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

As Jayshree mentioned, revenue growth is now estimated to be approximately 25% or $8,750,000,000. This is fueled by demand across AI, cloud, and enterprise sectors and demonstrates that Arista's focus on pure play networking is meeting the innovation needs of the market. One item to note, of this revenue guide raise, we are now increasing our campus revenue target to be between 750 and $800,000,000, inclusive of the minimal amount expected from the VeloCloud acquisition in f y twenty five. We are excited to welcome VeloCloud to our team. And as stated earlier, we are working through integrating and enhancing the business model to better serve our customers.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

For gross margin, a range is expected of approximately 63% to 64%, inclusive of possible known tariff scenarios and benefiting from improved inventory management. For operating margin, the outlook is approximately 48%, a testament to the ability of Arista to scale efficiently and effectively. Given the strength of our business and visibility into customer demand, here is our guidance for the q three quarter. Revenue of approximately $2,250,000,000 continuing to serve our customers and win new logos across AI, data, WAN and campus centers gross margin of approximately 64%, inclusive of possible new tariff scenarios operating margin of approximately 47% and an effective tax rate expected to approximately 21.5% with approximately 1,275,000,000.000 diluted shares. In closing, this is a great time to be an innovative networking leader.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

We are halfway through the year with solid momentum and are clear on our execution priorities. This makes us confident and excited in our ability to finish the year strongly. In closing, I would also like to wish Todd a very warm welcome to the Arista team. I will now turn the call back to Rudy for Q and A.

[Rudolph Araujo, Head - Investor Advocacy at Arista Networks]

Thank you, Chantal. We will now move to the Q and A portion of the Arista earnings call. To allow for greater participation, I'd like to request that everyone please limit themselves to a single question. Thank you for your understanding. Regina, please take it away.

[Operator]

We will now begin the Q and A portion of the Arista earnings call. Our first question will come from the line of George Notter with Wolfe Research. Please go ahead.

[George Notter, Managing Director at Wolfe Research LLC]

Hi, guys. Thanks very much. Appreciate it. I guess I wanted to the results are terrific certainly, but I wanted to ask about the competitive environment. I know many investors in recent weeks and months have been looking at some of the growth at Celestica and certainly NVIDIA's networking business and kind of projecting some of that strength on as being negative for Arista.

[George Notter, Managing Director at Wolfe Research LLC]

I guess I was just curious about your perspective on that, how you see the competitive environment, how you see your differentiation, anything you can say there would be great. Thanks.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Sure, George, and welcome to Wolf. Thank you for the wishes. Look. We've always lived in a very competitive industry, whether it was it is or I shouldn't say was, Cisco or specific, networking vendors. And we acknowledge NVIDIA's participation both within Cineband and, you know, bundling with the GPUs.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

We've always acknowledged the coexistence with by White Box. So from our perspective, the competitive landscape landscape has not changed. It's more of the same, but I recognize that the chatter was louder. And we understand that, you know, given the volatility of some of our customers, some some years and some quarters are better. So I think some of the chatter was louder because our meta share wasn't, wasn't growing the same way as it did year over year, the prior years.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

But from our perspective, our innovation and differentiation has never been stronger at a platform performance level, at a feature level. And I wanna add a third one, which is at a customer intimacy level. You know, they are so appreciative of the support, the quality, and the way we approach how to solve their problems. So no change in our environment and innovation. There's plenty of chatter outside.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

I I appreciate that. I understand that, and I and I hope we approve the naysayers wrong.

[George Notter, Managing Director at Wolfe Research LLC]

Super. Thank you.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Thank you, George.

[Operator]

Our next question comes from the line of Meta Marshall with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

[Meta Marshall, MD & VP at Morgan Stanley]

Great, thanks. Appreciate the question. I guess just on some of the strength that you're seeing in terms of cloud. I know it's getting increasingly hard to kind of differentiate front end and back end. But do you attribute some of the upside that you're seeing this year towards starting to see front end upgrades maybe quicker than expected, or is this just kind of back end demand being stronger than expected? Thanks.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Thanks, Meta. No. If you'll recall two, three years ago, maybe it's hard to remember all of that. I was actually very worried that the cloud spending had a little bit frozen, and all of the excitement enthusiasm was going towards GPU and, you know, how big is your GPU cost or that kind of thing. We now see it coming back and the pendulum swinging into a more balanced deployment of both cloud and AI.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

And I think as a result of all these AI deployments, as I've often said, the traffic patterns of cloud and AI are very different. You know, the diversity of the flows, the distribution of the flows, the the fidelity of the flows, the duration, the size and intensity. So all of that AI traffic and deployments we have done and others have done is now putting pressure on the front end cloud as well. So that's why it's gonna get we wanted to measure ourselves as purely on the native GPU connections. But going far forward, we see a much more distributed topology of cloud and AI sort of combining together.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

And it's not like HPC clusters where they'll build one and tear it down. When they build an AI cluster, it's very expensive. It's like diamonds, and they wanna take advantage of that and bring it forward to other cloud resources as well. So to the point you the question you were asking, our increased 550,000,000 had a little bit of Velo, not material as Chantal reminds me, but a lot of cloud and AI as well as enterprise campus.

[Meta Marshall, MD & VP at Morgan Stanley]

Great. Thank you.

[Operator]

Next question comes from the line of Ryan Koons with Needham and Company. Please go ahead.

[Ryan Koontz, Senior Analyst at Needham & Company]

Great. Thanks. I wanted to ask maybe a question for Todd, Jayshree, just about the fit for Vell o with your traditional go to market motion, which has been heavily direct. And do you expect Vell o to really beef up your channel efforts in working with these MSPs? Can you expand that a little bit? Thank you.

[Todd Nightingale, President & COO at Arista Networks]

Yes. Think it's incredibly complementary One is it fills an enormous hole in the enterprise campus portfolio for the distributed branch. And being able to bring Velo technology to our traditional Arista channel gives us an opportunity to, you know, cross sell SD WAN into so many existing campus accounts with the existing Arista go to market, which is amazing. But Vellum has a really strong MSP motion.

[Todd Nightingale, President & COO at Arista Networks]

We we're pushing really hard right now really embracing that, not just to continue the Velo success, but to now bring all of Arista's portfolio through that same channel, through those same partners, and really embrace, that MSP motion and use the the Velo intellectual property in their business operation in order to, you know, learn from that and and bring that that MSP motion to all of Arista's portfolio.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Well said, Todd. You know, sometimes with the engine and sometimes with the caboose. In the case of the MSP, we're definitely going to leverage the strength of Velo.

[Ryan Koontz, Senior Analyst at Needham & Company]

It makes sense, Jayshree. Thanks so much.

[Operator]

Our next question comes from the line of Antoine Gabin with New Street Research. Please go ahead.

[Antoine Chkaiban, Equity Research Analyst - Technology Infrastructure at New Street Research]

Hi. Thank you very much for the question. Can you can you please remind us what's what's required for scale up to produce and how that differs from from scale out? Traffic factors more predictable, easier to manage, and how do you see the competitive dynamic evolving? Does this create more differentiation for Arista or or more room for for white box compared to scale up?

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Yeah. So so first of all, I would say that scale up is a new and unique requirement, and it particularly is going to come in as people start building more and more AI racks. Right? So when you're building an AI rack and you wanna boost the radix and performance of an individual rack or cluster and your XPU radix gets bigger and bigger, you also need a very simple interconnect. Right?

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

This interconnect in the past has been PCIe express, CXL, and now you're seeing a lot of NVIDIA NVLink where, you know, you can really collapse your system board and and and next to you socket into an IO. It's almost not a network. It's it's an IO. It's a it's a back end to a back end, if I can call it that. Right?

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

And so scale up networks will be an incremental new market as Arista pursues it. Today, majority of that market lies inside a compute net network structure and and isn't something Arista's participating in. But we are very encouraged by the standards for scale up Ethernet that Broadcom has initiated and we're big fans of. We think that Ethernet as a transport protocol is going to favor a risk in Broadcom very much. And, you know, any little bit of incremental share we get there will be better than the zero we have right now.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

We also think UA link is another spec that's coming out, and that may run as an overlay on top of an Ethernet underlay. There needs to be some firm standards there because today, scale up is frankly all proprietary NVLink. And we're encouraged by just like we worked hard to found the ultra Ethernet, consortium as a member for so the back end Ethernet and the migration from InfiniBand to Ethernet is literally happening in three to five years. We expect the same phenomena on scale up.

[Antoine Chkaiban, Equity Research Analyst - Technology Infrastructure at New Street Research]

Thank you, Jhushree.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Thank you.

[Operator]

Our next question comes from the line of Amit Daryanani with Evercore. Please go ahead.

[Amit Daryanani, Senior MD - Equity Research at Evercore]

Thanks a lot and congrats on a nice set of numbers here. Jaishri, as I think about the 25% guide that you folks are talking about for the full year, which is really impressive, Can you just talk about what are you seeing specifically that's enabling you to raise your guide from 17% to 25%? Just what markets or what vector do you see that make you feel better about it? And then do you see the potential for this higher growth to be more durable as, you know, Arista realizes once in a lifetime opportunity as you talked about in your call? Thank you.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Okay. Well, thank you for the wishes, Ahmed. It's as you know, it's not easy to execute on large numbers. So durable growth gets harder and harder as the numbers get bigger and bigger. But, we've always believed in a CAGR of mid teens.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

You know, we've always believed in double digits, so we we hope we will continue to grow for many years to come in those kind of numbers. Coming back to your question, I think when we guided the year pragmatically back in February, what Shantel and I saw was a lot of activity, but not a lot of confirmation. Sitting here in August now, that activity has translated in all three sectors into a lot of confirmation. Enterprise campus, I couldn't be more bullish. We had a record quarter in terms of demand.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Obviously, we have to ship, but it's the strongest we felt. And as you as Todd might appreciate, since he he created a lot of Meraki, you know, as you look at the campus, this is going to be very strategic, very large, and very important because it's a large TAM of 25 to 30,000,000,000. So getting new logos, getting, you know, our value and our differentiation, especially in the post pandemic era, understood in terms of wired, wireless, IoT, segmentation, security, zero trust, zero touch provisioning was critical. We saw that shift happen in the first half of this year. On AI, I don't need to tell you that despite losing one of our key anchor customers, the fifth customer was a sovereign AI customer that's pretty much out of these numbers, we were still able to, we believe, achieve $750,000,000 in back end targets revenue and exceed 1,500,000,000.0 for the year.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Exact numbers, we'll know when we finally ship. We we can't give you those specifics now. But despite losing one customer, we're having a lot of activity in the four big ones. And, you know, it's pleasantly a surprise to us to see the advent of enterprise and even some new clouds. The numbers are small.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

It's not as big as the large titans, but it's all adding up. And then the third thing, as I was telling Meta, was the cloud itself. When you start putting that kind of pressure on performance and bandwidth and capacity on the back end of the network, eventually, you've gotta go refresh the front end cloud. So we're seeing many more migrations from 100 to 400 gig and even 800, and that's helping. So all three are contributing to this to this new growth we are projecting for the year.

[Amit Daryanani, Senior MD - Equity Research at Evercore]

Perfect.

Our next question comes from the line of Michael Ng with Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.

[Michael Ng, MD - Global Investment Research at Goldman Sachs]

Hey, good afternoon. I just have one and one follow-up. I guess for Chantal, I'm just wondering if you could just comment a little bit more on the deferred revenue or billings growth. What was the primary driver there? And I was wondering if that was a contributor to the magnitude of the guidance increase that we saw.

[Michael Ng, MD - Global Investment Research at Goldman Sachs]

And then second, Jaishri, you mentioned the path towards $10,000,000,000 in 2026. Quite a quite a ways out, but, maybe you can just speak to, some of the things that, you're seeing. I know you you you talked a lot through it, but, you know, the the confidence in in in that number and, you know, things that could break in the right way that could, result in that number even being better? Thank you.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

Yeah. I think for the first one, thank you for your question, is in sense of from the deferred balance, you know, between products and services, this is this is indicative of new product, new use case, AI, as I mentioned in my remarks, and it's across those categories. And as far as this year, you know, the deferred is going to be at this year, next year because it's twelve, eighteen, twenty four months, some of the use cases that we have in there to your point. So, you know, it it's always helpful to have the deferred revenue balance growing. It it does move and does move with volatility given some of the sizes of some of these new use cases and new product introductions.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

So so more to come, but we don't we don't guide it. So I would say that those are the factors that go into it for your question. And then, Jayshree, did you wanna mention that?

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

You know, you, Michael. A couple of things. Even on '25, I think the the parallel for me to it, because I'm such a historian and I have so many years behind me, you know, if you look at the cloud, we had a lot of deferred. And, you know, on one hand, I can tell you guys, don't pay attention to it. It'll eventually come out and something will come in.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

But it is a very high level of experimentation with new GPUs, traffic patterns, the number of GPUs, the location of the GPUs, the distribution of GPUs, the traffic patterns. There's a lot more work going on there, and customers are experimenting. Customers are seeing GPUs every eighteen months. We have to adapt to that. We have to look at performance.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

We have to look at high availability, to look at automation visibility. So it's a nontrivial amount of complex work. And, oh, by the way, often these are not brand new. It's part of a brownfield where we're trying to do all this. You know, the car is running at 100 miles an hour, and we're trying to add AI to it kind of problem.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

So don't underestimate that this deferred that's been going on since last year will continue this year and perhaps next as well. And the length of deferred is taking longer. So on one hand, I'll say don't pay too much attention to it. Sometimes it'll come out. Sometimes it'll go in.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

On the other hand, this is definitely more because of AI than anything else. In terms of 2026, I think it's only fair we save analyst day for that. We did announce that. But, look, I would be remiss if I didn't tell you I'm very proud of the team, and we're looking to achieve 10,000,000,000 in revenue in 2026, two years ahead of schedule. I promised you guys that back back back in the last analyst day in 2028. So there you go. That's the headline.

[Michael Ng, MD - Global Investment Research at Goldman Sachs]

That's very clear. Thank you, Jayshree. Thank you, Chantal.

[Chantelle Breithaupt, Senior VP & CFO at Arista Networks]

Thank you.

Our next question comes from the line of Simon Leopold with Raymond James. Please go ahead.

[Simon Leopold, Managing Director at Raymond James Financial]

Thank you very much. I know you don't like to give us specifics on customer contributions. I guess what I'm really trying to see if you could help us is understanding how that might be shifting given that it does seem like there should be some broadening with the neo clouds, the sovereigns and enterprise. But at the same time, some of your biggest customers are growing their spending significantly. So any any clues or hints or quantification you can offer to help us better appreciate what your concentration and largest customer mix looks like and is trending towards?

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Yeah. I'll try my best. But the minute we call them a Titan, which, you know, we we now have included some customers in the Titan that previously weren't we move people customers out of the Titans into the specialty providers, you know they have a big spend. So you should not be surprised to see at least 10% concentration from our two favorite customers. And we will get greater contribution from our other customers even if they're not 10% because of the AI investments.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

So our AI titans, if you will, and our cloud titans are going to make a meaningful, indeed, high contribution to the year. That's one half of us. That's one half of the coin. The other half is, you know, why we're so excited to have Todd. Don't underestimate the power of all these customers coming together as an aggregate adding to a very high number.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

So it's not your one titan. As a collection, they're a titan, but each one of them by themselves are a meaningful contributor. So what Todd's team along with Chris Schmidt, Chris Belmer, Ashwin are doing is just fantastic. So we're really gonna have a balanced approach of two very meaningful businesses contributing together. But definitely, AI is gonna create that.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Large investments, large CapEx that you guys have all seen from our customers is gonna translate into some investments into us too. We're equally excited about the enterprise.

Our Our next comes from the line of Tal Liani with Bank of America. Please go ahead.

[Tal Liani, Technology Analyst at Bank of America]

Guys. Want to talk about the sustainability. Hi, hi, hi. I wanna talk about the sustainability of growth. Tomahawk six was delayed, and the question is whether there is any correlation between the delays in Tomahawk six and your growth.

[Tal Liani, Technology Analyst at Bank of America]

Are customers buying more now than before? Maybe they waited for it. And then also another, like, a follow-up on the sustainability of growth is also sustainability of margins. At 49%, almost 49% operating margin, when do you start to upset your customers, your big customers, because they have an alternative to buy white boxes and it's cheaper? Do you have that much of a differentiation that justifies paying a lot more for a product versus white boxes?

[Tal Liani, Technology Analyst at Bank of America]

Assuming that on white boxes, they the the the manufacturer doesn't make 49% margin.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Okay, Tal. That's a loaded question on sustainability. So have we had sustainability over the last fifteen years? Have we had white box over the last fifteen years? I mean, I'm I'm asking these questions rhetorically.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

I'm not expecting you to answer them. But look, it's gonna be competitive, and there's a set of, you know, throwaway white boxes that are that some set of, ODM manufacturers will build where they don't need all the value. And particularly in the Leaf situation, we can see that. If you don't need features, you don't need value, then you you probably won't pay the premium price. But I also wanna add that 49% operating margin is not a function of just our value.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

It's a function of our efficiency. This company knows how to do more with less. We don't just throw thousands of marketing people, salespeople, or engineers on one problem. We architect it correctly, and we've always been efficient. And I challenge you to find somebody some other company that does it more efficiently.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

So that's not a white box problem. That's inefficiency. And our customers appreciate that we don't have layers and hierarchies and big company corporate stuff, and we do this efficiently. So they're kind of two different things. No doubt we will coexist with white box.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

No doubt a set of customers will appreciate our support, our quality, our innovation, and would be willing to pay the premium. Because as I've often said to you too as well, Tal, you can trade CapEx for OpEx and vice versa. You can buy a cheap box, then you can support it yourself, and you're gonna need hundreds of engineers to do that. That's one model. And the other is Arista, where we'll put in the buffers, the congestion control, the value, the EOS, and, hopefully, you will need less support staff to do that.

[Tal Liani, Technology Analyst at Bank of America]

What about the revenue growth capability?

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

You did ask me about Tomahawk six. I mean, Broadcom's been a fantastic partner. I don't think they're late on it. This this is very complex silicon.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Tomahawk six is in our labs. Stay tuned for new product next year.

[Tal Liani, Technology Analyst at Bank of America]

Got it. Thank you.

Our next question comes from the line of James Fish with Piper Sandler. Please go ahead.

[James Fish, MD & Senior Research Analyst at Piper Sandler Companies]

Hey. Great, great quarter. Jayshree, for you, we we've talked a little bit in the past about Blue Box instead of White Box, I guess. What are you seeing on on sort of the Blue Box side versus full system with with some of your main customers? And and, Todd, sorry.

[James Fish, MD & Senior Research Analyst at Piper Sandler Companies]

You can't escape me here. No. The the VeloCloud side of things, obviously, that space has evolved where it's it's gone into the savvy mode. Jayshree, you even said, like, hey. We're gonna partner with our security partners for for a full savvy.

[James Fish, MD & Senior Research Analyst at Piper Sandler Companies]

But do you need to think about that more directly just because it is becoming a world where customers are looking for a full savvy offering from, you know, one throat to choke as as they say. I guess, how are you thinking about a broader savvy offering as opposed to just having the SD WAN part? Thanks, guys.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Do you wanna take the first one first while I figure out this first question? Or the second one? Yeah.

[Todd Nightingale, President & COO at Arista Networks]

Yeah. Yeah. We are looking very carefully at how we support customers from a fully integrated SASE SD WAN solution. It's it's a secure WAN that matters, and delivering that solution with great assurance is something that certainly is top of mind for us. But I I think we have a real opportunity to do that with partners partnership.

[Todd Nightingale, President & COO at Arista Networks]

There's so many amazing cloud security vendors out there right now, and we have so many customers that work, with the Velo solution along with those partners. That's, I think, the way we're gonna be leaning in moving forward, but, certainly, we'll be talking more about that in Investor Day later this year.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Yeah. Just to add to what Todd said, James, we see the bifurcation of SD WAN sort of there's a fork in the road in two weeks. One is where there's a security angle on it. And if it's just simple security, encryption, segmentation, a firewall, we can do that. But if it's really the cloud security like Zscaler or Palo Alto do, we will absolutely work with best of breed partners and not pretend to be something we're not.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

So our branch infrastructure to support security is very much in a risk of priority. Our branch infrastructure, as Todd said, to become a SASE or secure WAN is an overlay on top of that that we work with our partners. But we really see, like I said, that fork in the road where SD WAN isn't just a SASE solution, it's also a branch solution. When you have all these campuses with large headquarters and then your home is a branch, your retail is a branch, your library is a branch, you need a mini me solution of our campus. And this is where I think VeloCloud will really shine with Arista products with our wired wireless.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

And bringing all of that cloud vision and VeloCloud orchestrated together for a seamless provision is a big goal of us, you know, all the way from the multi domain cloud vision to the cognitive unified edge and experience down to the branch. So we're excited about that fork in the road in one we'll partner, and in one we'll build more integration ourselves. Blue Box, very much an important part of our strategy. Still in strategy form, we expect to see that evolve in the next few years. We haven't had to build that muscle yet because we're still in crazy AI mode, but we absolutely will complement and coexist with the white box to offer risk to blue box.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

And what do I mean by that? Means a very battle tested, highly well designed hardware, way Andy Bechtleschein and his team know how to do, can be delivered, you know, as as an upgrade or as a better hardened white box. And we we fully plan to do that. And in fact, do do that with bundled software today.

[James Fish, MD & Senior Research Analyst at Piper Sandler Companies]

Thanks, guys.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Our next question comes from the line of Samik Chatterjee with JPMorgan. Please go ahead.

[Samik Chatterjee, MD & Equity Research Analyst at J.P. Morgan]

Yes. Hi. Thanks for taking my question. J. Shri, strong set of results here and congratulations on the strong outlook as well.

[Samik Chatterjee, MD & Equity Research Analyst at J.P. Morgan]

If I go back to your comments about the ability to meet the seven fifty million AI back end number even as the fifth customer is absent now, is that largely stemming from bigger cluster size deployments from your existing tier one customers? Or is something else moving around in terms of timing of those deployments relative to expectations? And just as a follow-up, I think the fourth customer you had earlier referenced was much slower in terms of, activity. So can you just give us an update on that front if that changed for timing? Thank you.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

That's a good question, Sami. Thank thank you for the wishes as well. So I think two of our customers have already approached or going to fast quickly approach 100,000 GPUs. But I don't think it's any more about just how big you know, we used to talk about million GPUs and all that. Increasingly, what we're seeing is more and more distributed GPU clusters for training and inference.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

And so two customers have reached that goal. The third one might reach that goal. The fourth one that I said we just begin with is is probably too early to reach that 100,000. That's probably a goal for next year. So that's the composition.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Two are strong, one is medium, and the other is still low. But to make that number or actually to exceed that number, you may have noticed that I pointed out that we now have an aggregate I think last time we said 15, and now we're saying 25 to 30 enterprise and neo cloud customers. So they're not big individually, but together they add up to contribute as well for the loss of the fifth customer and the the slowness of the fourth. So I we will we we believe, with the increase in five fifty million that AI will be a contributor to that, and exactly how it will shape up will depend on what we ship out, but, feeling really good.

[Samik Chatterjee, MD & Equity Research Analyst at J.P. Morgan]

Okay.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

And I won't I won't measure it anymore just on number of GPUs. I think there's a lot more to do with locality, distribution, radix, and, you know, also choice of multi tenants, optimizations, collective libraries, level of resilience, etcetera. So we're seeing a we're seeing a lot more complexity run into this than straight number of GPUs.

[Samik Chatterjee, MD & Equity Research Analyst at J.P. Morgan]

Okay. Great. Thank you.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Thank you.

Our next question comes from the line of Aaron Rakers with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.

[Aaron Rakers, Managing Director & Technology Analyst at Wells Fargo]

Yeah. Thanks for taking the question. Also, congrats on the quarter. This probably builds on a few other earlier questions. But, you know, Jayshree, I'm as we think about the sovereign AI opportunity, whether or not that's factoring at all into kind of what you're seeing currently.

[Aaron Rakers, Managing Director & Technology Analyst at Wells Fargo]

I know you alluded to a fifth customer, which was a sovereign falling out. But I'm curious of how you think about that opportunity set, what you're seeing as far as customer engagements, and, you know, if we should kind of think about that as becoming a more material, you know, incremental driver as we look through 2026 and beyond. Thank you.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Yeah. No. Erin, that's a good point. We've once bitten twice shy. So since our fifth customer was a sovereign AI and it didn't work out, we're certainly not factoring it into our numbers this year.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

But we haven't lost faith or hope that that could be an important segment for us in the next several years. I think there's gonna be a a lot of expanded build outs. In fact, one of the neo clouds is a sovereign AI, which is a non NVIDIA cluster that we're working with right now that may factor in in 2026. But having said that, it's still early days, and we're cautiously optimistic.

[Aaron Rakers, Managing Director & Technology Analyst at Wells Fargo]

Our next question comes from the line of Atif Malik with Citi. Please go ahead.

[Atif Malik, U.S. Specialty Semiconductors Analyst at Citigroup]

Hi. Thank you for taking my question. Jayshree, you talked about scale up Ethernet to be incremental to your TAM. Curious if you have any sense how big this TAM is in three years?

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Atif, I don't know yet. In terms of port density, in terms of units, you know, if I look at the ratio within a rack versus outside in units, it's it's it's quite high. Eight to one, ten to one. But in terms of dollars, I don't think it's nearly as much because the level of functionality required is much simpler. So how about we beg that question out for September when we'll know more?

That's the deal. Thank you.

Our next question will come from the line of Karl Ackerman with BNP Paribas. Please go ahead.

[Karl Ackerman, MD - Equity Research, Semiconductors & IT Hardware at BNP Paribas]

Yes. Thank you. Jayshree, you noted you are seeing good activity with the top four hyperscalers. While you indicated that your back end revenue this year will be primarily driven by two of them, would you expect that all four cloud providers would adopt Arista switches for back end deployments in 2026? And, I guess, where are you seeing the most opportunities with these neo cloud providers?

[Karl Ackerman, MD - Equity Research, Semiconductors & IT Hardware at BNP Paribas]

Because that certainly could be a big opportunity as we see the time. Thanks.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

So, Carl, in in the short answer would be yes. We got some work to do, but the answer is absolutely all four of them two of them already have large, and all the other two will be deployed in the back end. It'll also fuel the front end. And in terms of neo clouds, almost always, the neo cloud is a combination of back and front. It's never one or just the other, but, definitely, the neo clouds also have a back end component.

[Karl Ackerman, MD - Equity Research, Semiconductors & IT Hardware at BNP Paribas]

Our final question will come from the line of David Voigt with UBS. Please go ahead.

[David Vogt, Managing Director at UBS Group]

Thanks guys for squeezing me in. Jayshree, I just wanted to maybe pick your brain a little bit. You mentioned scale up, but can we talk about the competitive or maybe the technical opportunities with scale out with Jericho IV that was announced today or yesterday? And how you're thinking about kind of what that means for your technology position with regards to sort of distributed AI going forward? I know scale up's an incremental opportunity, but maybe just kind of share your thoughts on where you stand to scale out.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

Dave, this is a really good thoughtful question because this is who this is our bread and butter. Arista is the premier, scale out spine platform. The 7,800 spine, our AI spine is a really flagship franchise platform. It takes advantage of all of the virtual output queuing, the congestion control, the peripheral queuing, the buffering, etcetera, in a way that nobody else in the industry isn't able to demonstrate. And, oh, by the way, besides being a great AI spine, it's also a great routing platform for the WAN.

[Jayshree Ullal, Chairperson & CEO at Arista Networks]

So this product is sort of the anchor for a lot of things we do at scale out, both in the back end and front end, and has been our workhorse for some time. It's only getting much of what we've done so far is 400 gig with Jerica four. Congratulations, Broadcom. We're looking forward to the 800 gig and then in the and and then beyond for others as well. So thank you for reminding us that, you know, we're continuing to push the envelope of innovation, and we'll we fully expect, you know, this the series that we started with r one, r two, r three to evolve to r four, all in the context of a very consistent software and platform architecture.
