Akamai delivered the following financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018.

Non-GAAP income from operations* was $167 million, a 5% increase from fourth quarter 2017 and a 7% increase from first quarter 2017. Non-GAAP operating margin* for the first quarter was 25%, up 1 percentage point from the fourth quarter of 2017 due to operational efficiency improvements, but down 1 percentage point from the same period last year due to two acquisitions that were completed subsequent to the first quarter of 2017.

The Company had approximately 171 million shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2018

Adoption of new revenue recognition standard: Prior period results have been revised for the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard. Under this standard, the way revenue is recognized changed for some of Akamais customers and primarily impacts the revenue timing of a small number of licensed software customers. The way Akamai recognizes revenue for its core Web and Media products is substantially unchanged. Akamai will also begin capitalizing certain commission and incentive payments. The revisions as a result of the new standard did not have a material impact on Akamais annual revenue or results of operations, but did cause quarter-to-quarter fluctuations. For more information, see the posted revisions to the consolidated statements of income and other key disaggregated revenue amounts in the Investor Relations section of Akamais website at www.akamai.com.

(1) Revenue by Division - A customer-focused reporting view that reflects revenue from customers that are managed by the division. As of January 1, 2018, Akamai now reports its revenue in two divisions compared to the three divisions reported in 2017; the Media Division and Enterprise and Carrier Division were combined to form the new Media and Carrier Division. In addition, as the purchasing patterns and required account expertise of customers changes over time, Akamai may reassign a customers division from one to another. In 2018 Akamai reassigned some of its customers from the Media and Carrier Division to the Web Division and revised historical results in order to reflect the most recent categorization and to provide a comparable view for all periods presented.
