1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Ak am I currently falling. Now. This is after forecasts

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: for revenue and unjusted earnings per Cheer came in well

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: less than the market it wanted to see it here

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: to walk us through some of the numbers and the

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: content distribution part in particular, that seems to be the weakness.

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: As a CEO, Tom Layton, and security revenue was good,

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: up twenty one percent, Compute revenue good up twenty five percent.

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: But it's a delivery revenue that isn't under pressure. Is

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: that what's really hitting the revenue forecasts?

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly right. You know, Internet traffic always increases, but

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: it's not in a straight line, and we have the

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: world's largest content delivery network and so when there are dips,

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: we feel it. The good news is that we really

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: diversified our business beyond delivery to the point where now

15
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 2: two thirds of our revenue is security and compute, and

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: as you noted, both of those businesses are very strong,

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: great growth and great potential. And I think over time,

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: as we have more and more of our rebels from

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: security and compute, you know the dips you get from

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: time to time and Internet traffic we won't see as

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: noticeably on our overall performance.

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: Interesting diversification key what's took me my interest was a

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: large social media customer optimizing its costs. As what was

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: put forward as to why you've downgraded some of the outlooks.

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: Who is the social media player? Are we seeing that

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: more broadly.

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: Or is it just one Well, we do have a

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: very large social media company and they are cutting back

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 2: as best they can on costs, you know, facing some

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: geopolitical pressures, I would say more broadly. You know, we've

31
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: seen sort of a week past couple of months in

32
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: the gaming vertical and in video, and there's been a

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: lot of reports out there talking about you know, subscriber numbers,

34
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: you know, and traffic as a whole. And so we

35
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: feel that because you know, we carried most of all

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: the video out there and a very big for the

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: gaming companies, and so that creates a little bit of

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: a dip in our outlook for the year. That said,

39
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: we raised our outlook on security and compute, both of

40
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: those business is very strong.

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Tom, You're the perfect person to therefore ask, because I'm

42
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: reading between the lines here, a geopolitically affected social media

43
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: company has got to be TikTok, and I know that

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: you have expertise when it comes to security, and we're

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: broadly an exposure at the moment that we're seeing of

46
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: US companies to China. How much you seeing geo politics

47
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: weighing on your business and the business of your clients.

48
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: Well, there is some concern there, and you know we

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: made a disclosure that in particular, if the law does

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 2: take effect banning TikTok, that could impact about a percent

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: and a half of our revenue next year. You know,

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: it shouldn't have a direct impact this year, and it

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: remains to be seen if the law will go into effect.

54
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: Are you trying to diversify out of exposure to China

55
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: more more time?

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: Well, we want to diversify our company as a whole.

57
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: Today we have seven customers at one percent of revenue,

58
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: and you know the goal is to have a broader

59
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: and broader base, and I think we've done a really

60
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: good job of that, both within the customer base and

61
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: also across product lines and geographies, so that you know,

62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: you won't see much of an impact. You know, as

63
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: we go forward, when you know particular things happen on

64
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: the political stage, or you get a dip in traffic.

65
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: And I mean with the wealth of patterns that you

66
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: have and the focus on security. Where are we in

67
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: the cybersecurity landscape? How much are you seeing in particularly

68
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: the age of artificial intelligence, it becomes harder and harder

69
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: to ensure that we are protected in some way from

70
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: our data.

71
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, things are in a very challenged state with cybersecurity,

72
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: particularly with the advances in gen ai, which as of

73
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: now are very helpful to the attacker. It's much easier

74
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: for them to generate very malicious male where we're seeing

75
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: a lot more breaches and I think the key now

76
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: really is to develop the internal layer of defense for

77
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: an enterprise because probably you're going to get breached, and

78
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: the key is to identify it quickly and to proactively

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: block it spread. And there we have the market leading

80
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: solution with guardacor to stop the spread of ransomware and

81
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: data exfiltration malware. And that's a very rapidly growing segment

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: For US and a key acquisition made Tom Lighton, thank

83
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: you so much spending time with us, Yakama and CEO
