Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: SECTION 1.

SECTION 2. Amendment. Effective as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof: (a) The following definitions in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended in each case to read in their entirety as set forth immediately below: (i) “Letter of Credit Sublimit” means an amount equal to the lesser of (a) $80,000,000 and (b) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

No Borrowing or use of proceeds of any Borrowing or drawing under any Letter of Credit will violate or result in the violation of any Sanctions Laws and Regulations applicable to any party hereto. (b) None of (I) the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or (II) a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Parent Borrower, any director, manager, officer or employee of Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, is (i) a Person (or owned 50% or more by one or more Persons or under Control of a Person) on the list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” or the target of the limitations or prohibitions under any Sanctions Laws and Regulations, or (ii) a Person located, organized, or resident in a country or

SECTION 5. Effect of Amendment. (a) Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Amended Credit Agreement, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants, guarantees or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Parent Borrower to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment,
US-DOCS\168138355.4 modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. By its execution of this Amendment, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Amendment do not constitute a novation, but, rather, a supplement of a pre-existing indebtedness and related agreement, as evidenced by the Amended Credit Agreement. (b) On and after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”, or words of like import, and each reference to the “Credit Agreement” in any other Loan Document shall be deemed a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” and an “Incremental Facility Amendment” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (c) On the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, each Revolving Credit Lender existing immediately prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (each, an “Existing Lender”) will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each, an “Amendment No. 1 Lender”), and each such Amendment No. 1 Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Existing Lender’s participations in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations in Letters of Credit held by each Revolving Credit Lender under the Amended Credit Agreement (including the Amendment No. 1 Lenders) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders represented by such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Additionally, the Revolving Credit Lenders in effect immediately after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date shall purchase and assign at par such amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at such time (if any) as the Administrative Agent may require such that each Revolving Credit Lender holds its Applicable Percentage of all Revolving Credit Loans immediately after giving effect to all such assignments. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained in the Amended Credit Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. (d) The Additional Lender (i) acknowledges and agrees that, upon its execution of this Amendment and the effectiveness of the Additional Lender Increase, the Additional Lender shall become an “Additional Lender,” a “Revolving Credit Lender” and a “Lender” under, and for all purposes of, the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall be subject to and bound by the terms thereof, and shall perform all the obligations of and shall have all rights of a Lender thereunder, (ii) confirms that a copy of the Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment and to provide the Additional Lender Increase, have been made available to such Additional Lender; (iii) agrees that it will (together with any affiliates that it acts through as it deems appropriate), independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Amended Credit Agreement or the other applicable Loan Documents, including this Amendment; and (iv) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. SECTION 6. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, Service of Process; Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
US-DOCS\168138355.4 THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Sections 10.14 and 10.15 of the Amended Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis. SECTION 7. Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Amendment (including all fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent that are required to have been reimbursed or paid (directly to such counsel if requested by the Administrative Agent)) to the extent required pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Amended Credit Agreement. SECTION 8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile, Electronic Signature or other electronic imaging means of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment. The Agents may require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission. SECTION 9. Severability. If any provision of this Amendment or any other Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. SECTION 10. Reaffirmation. Each Loan Party (a) acknowledges and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment, (b) affirms all of its obligations under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, its Guaranty of the Obligations (including in respect of the Increase) and (c) agrees that this Amendment and all documents executed in connection herewith do not operate to reduce or discharge such Loan Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party (a) affirms that each of the Liens granted in or pursuant to the Loan Documents are valid and subsisting and shall continue to secure the secured Obligations (including Obligations in respect of the Increase) and (b) agrees that this Amendment shall in no manner impair or otherwise adversely affect any of the Liens granted in or pursuant to the Loan Documents.

DigitalOcean Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Raising 2026 and 2027 revenue outlook
on strong customer demand and incremental committed capacity; 2027 revenue growth now expected to exceed 50%
Q1 2026 Revenue of $258 million grew 22% year-over-year
Million+ Dollar Customer ARR grew 179% year-over-year to $183 million
AI Customer ARR grew 221% year-over-year to $170 million
Delivered record $62 million in incremental organic ARR
Launched DigitalOcean AI-Native Cloud
BROOMFIELD, Colo., May 5, 2026 – DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOCN), the AI-Native Cloud purpose-built for inference and agentic workloads, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
"The Inference and agentic era needs its own cloud. DigitalOcean built it, and our record Q1 results demonstrate the strength of our platform," said Paddy Srinivasan, CEO of DigitalOcean. “We drove 22% top-line growth with our Million+ Dollar Customer ARR growing 179% and our AI Customer ARR growing 221%, and we exceeded our revenue and profitability guidance. We launched the DigitalOcean AI-Native Cloud - the first cloud built end-to-end for the inference and agentic era - with more than 15 new product releases across five fully integrated layers, further differentiating us from bare-metal focused neo-clouds and inference wrappers that lack cloud platforms. We continue to invest in what we believe is a generational market opportunity, adding approximately 60 MW of incremental committed data center capacity that will come online throughout 2027 to support growing customer demand. With this strong momentum, we are raising our 2026 revenue growth outlook to 26% and our 2027 revenue growth outlook to over 50%."

Financial Outlook:
DigitalOcean is initiating guidance for the second quarter ending June 30, 2026 as follows:
•Total revenue of $272 to $274 million, up 24% to 25% year-over-year.
•Adjusted EBITDA margin of 37% to 38%.
•Non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.20 to $0.23.
•Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 121 to 122 million shares.
For the full year 2026, we expect:
•Total revenue of $1.130 to $1.145 billion, up 25% to 27% year-over-year.
•Adjusted EBITDA margin of 37% to 39%.
•Adjusted free cash flow margin in the range of 9% to 12% of revenue.
•Non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $1.10 to $1.20.
•Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 118 to 119 million shares.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP outlook measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, expenses that may be incurred in the future. For example, stock-based compensation expense-related charges are impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions, the future fair market value of our common stock, and our future hiring and retention needs, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort and we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP.
The financial guidance presented in this release are estimates based on information available to management as of the date of this release. There can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ from the financial guidance presented in this release.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, we provide investors with non-GAAP financial measures including: (i) adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin, (ii) adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin and (iii) non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. These measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted operating income is a new non-GAAP financial measure used for the first time in this release. We are introducing this new non-GAAP financial measure because we believe that adjusted operating income margin and adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with our GAAP financial results, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance (including our long-term performance in the case of adjusted operating income) and facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of our business, evaluating our operating performance, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
We believe non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share provides our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of unusual or non-recurring items from period to period for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
Our calculations of each of these measures may differ from the calculations of measures with the same or similar titles by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider each of these non-GAAP financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and our other GAAP results. A reconciliation of each of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is set forth in the tables in the section “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Data.”

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income Margin
Adjusted operating income is a new non-GAAP financial measure used for the first time in this release that we define as operating income, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related compensation, acquisition and integration related costs, restructuring and other charges, restructuring related charges, impairment of certain long-lived assets and other charges. We define adjusted operating income margin as adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to common stockholders, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest expense, acquisition related compensation, acquisition and integration related costs, income tax expense (benefit), restructuring and other charges, restructuring related charges, impairment of certain long-lived assets, interest income and other income, net, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, net, and other charges. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Net Income Per Share
We define non-GAAP net income as net income attributable to common stockholders, excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition related compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, acquisition and integration related costs, restructuring and other charges, restructuring related charges, impairment of certain long-lived assets, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, net, and other charges. In addition to these exclusions, we subtract an assumed non-GAAP provision for income taxes to calculate non-GAAP net income that excludes the current period income tax benefit (expense). We utilize a fixed long-term projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision in order to provide better consistency across reporting periods. We define non-GAAP diluted net income per share as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding, which includes the potentially dilutive effect of our stock options, RSUs, PRSUs, and Convertible Notes and, beginning in the first quarter of 2026, excludes the in-the-money portion of our 2030 Convertible Notes as they are covered by our capped call transactions, which are expected to mitigate the dilutive effect of our 2030 Convertible Notes.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin
Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software costs, purchase of intangible assets, and excluding cash paid for restructuring and other charges, acquisition related compensation, restructuring related charges, and acquisition and integration related costs. Adjusted free cash flow margin is calculated as adjusted free cash flow divided by total revenue.
We believe that adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow margin are useful indicators of liquidity that provide information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from our core operations that can be used for strategic initiatives, including investing in our business and selectively pursuing acquisitions and strategic investments. We further believe that historical and future trends in adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow margin, even if negative, provide useful information about the amount of net cash provided by operating activities that is available (or not available) to be used for strategic initiatives. Adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow margin exclude acquisitions of equipment under financing arrangements, finance leases, and our future contractual commitments. Additionally, adjusted free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenses given our debt obligations and the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period.
Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin
Unlevered adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as adjusted free cash flow excluding cash paid for interest and interest income. Unlevered adjusted free cash flow margin is calculated as unlevered adjusted free cash flow divided by total revenue.
We believe that unlevered adjusted free cash flow and unlevered adjusted free cash flow margin provide additional information to adjusted free cash flow about our liquidity and, measured over time, enable management and investors to monitor the underlying business’ growth pattern and ability to generate cash. We further believe that unlevered adjusted free cash flow is an important metric, as it provides a clear view of our cash generation before the impact of financing decisions and many investors and analysts use unlevered adjusted free cash flow as the basis of their enterprise value calculations as they assess the value of our business. Unlevered adjusted free cash flow and unlevered adjusted free cash flow margin exclude certain charges that will be settled in cash, such as interest paid to service our debt and equipment

financing obligations. Additionally, unlevered adjusted free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenses given our debt obligations and the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period.
Key Business Metrics:
We utilize the key metrics set forth below to help us evaluate our business and growth, identify trends, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.
Customers
We calculate customer count as the average number of customers as of the last day of the month for each month in the most recent quarter. Customers are classified in the following categories based on the amount of their spend in a given month and individual customers may fall within different categories within a reporting period (customer spend in a month in whole dollars):
•Digital Native Enterprise Customers: users that spend more than $500 in a month.
•$100K+ Customers: users that spend more than $8,333 in a month.
•$500K+ Customers: users that spend more than $41,667 in a month.
•$1M+ Customers: users that spend more than $83,333 in a month.
ARR
We calculate ARR by multiplying total revenue for the most recent quarter by four.
AI Customer ARR
We calculate AI Customer ARR by multiplying total AI Customer Revenue for the most recent quarter by four. AI Customer Revenue is defined as the total revenue generated from customers who utilize one or more of our AI/ML offerings, inclusive of their revenue from our IaaS and PaaS/SaaS offerings during the period.
Net Dollar Retention Rate
We calculate net dollar retention rate monthly by starting with total revenue for our IaaS and PaaS/SaaS offerings during the corresponding month 12 months prior, or the Prior Period Revenue. We then calculate the revenue from these same customers as of the current month, or the Current Period Revenue, including any expansion and net of any contraction or attrition from these customers over the last 12 months. The calculation also includes revenue from customers that generated revenue before, but not in, the corresponding month 12 months prior, but subsequently generated revenue in the current month and are therefore reflected in the Current Period Revenue. We include this group of re-engaged customers in this calculation because some of our customers use our platform for projects that stop and start over time. We then divide the total Current Period Revenue by the total Prior Period Revenue to arrive at the net dollar retention rate for the relevant month. For a quarterly or annual period, the net dollar retention rate is determined as the average monthly net dollar retention rates over such three or 12-month period.
Other Metrics:
Remaining Performance Obligation
Remaining performance obligation (“RPO”) represents commitments in customer contracts for future services that have not yet been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. RPO is not necessarily indicative of future revenue growth because it does not account for the timing of customers’ consumption or their usage beyond their contracted capacity. Additionally, RPO may increase when customers transition from usage-based to commitment-based agreements, which does not always reflect incremental revenue growth. RPO is influenced by a number of factors, including the timing and size of renewals, the timing and size of purchases of additional capacity and average contract term. Due to these factors, it is important to review RPO in conjunction with revenue and other financial metrics contained in this release and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequent filings and reports we make with the SEC.
6
Organic ARR
We define Organic Annual Run-Rate revenue (“Organic ARR”) as ARR excluding the impacts of (i) revenue from acquisitions that closed in the prior 12 months, and (ii) incremental revenue from broad-based pricing increases that occurred on July 1, 2022 for our IaaS and PaaS/ SaaS offerings and April 1, 2023 for our Managed Hosting offerings, in each case until the beginning of the first full quarter following the one-year anniversary of the closing date of such acquisition or date pricing changes were effective.

(3)Consists of non-cash interest expense for amortization of debt issuance costs related to our Convertible Notes.
(4)May not foot due to rounding.
(5)Excludes the in-the-money portion of our 2030 Convertible Notes for non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares as they are covered by our capped call transactions. Our outstanding capped call transactions are antidilutive under GAAP, but are expected to mitigate the dilutive effect of our 2030 Convertible Notes, and therefore are included in the calculation of non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding. The capped calls have an antidilutive impact when the average stock price of our common stock in a given period is higher than their exercise price.
(6)Includes 15,957 of potentially dilutive securities related to our 2030 Convertible Notes as if the entire principal amount outstanding were converted into shares for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Includes 8,403 of potentially dilutive securities related to our 2026 Convertible Notes as if the entire principal amount outstanding were converted into shares for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company has the election of settling any conversion in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of both.
