Factors to Note

DigitalOcean’s second-quarter results are likely to reflect the negative impacts of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. The company expects a potential loss of approximately $3 million of revenues from Russian and Ukrainian customers.

However, DigitalOcean’s aggressive approach toward managing the cost structure might have contributed to the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.

The company’s second-quarter top line is likely to reflect benefits from sustained growth in customer acquisitions, courtesy of recent investments to expand its product portfolio. One of the key products launched is the serverless offering. This is likely to have helped with customer acquisition and propelled ARPU growth.

The company may have gained from the recent acquisition of CSS-Tricks, a learning platform with 6,500 articles, videos, guides and other content focused on front-end development. This complements DigitalOcean’s existing library of content and is expected to have attracted both front-end and full-stack developers to the company’s platform. DigitalOcean is expected to have benefited from an increase in the number of visitors to its website in the to-be-reported quarter.

DigitalOcean’s strategy to boost its inbound and outbound sales capabilities is likely to have benefited the company’s self-service revenue growth. The new sales strategy contributed 3% to first-quarter revenues. The trend is likely to have sustained in the second quarter as well.
