Methodology and excluded metrics
- Fiscal year ends December 31 (Q2 2026 ended June 30, 2026; Q3 2026 had not yet been reported as of October 31, 2026).
- Because large Cloud & AI Titan deployments carry customer-specific trial and acceptance clauses, Total RPO ($8.4B at Q2 2026), Binding Product Shipment Agreements ($875.1M), Product Deferred Revenue sequential additions (+$600M in Q2 2026), Deferred COGS ($1,621.9M), Customer Evaluation Inventory ($616.0M), and Non-Cancellable Manufacturing Purchase Commitments ($9.7B) lead GAAP recognized revenue by 2–6 quarters.
- Italicized cells represent allowed period splits from reported cumulative figures (Q4 = full year − nine months; Q2 = 6M − Q1; Q3 = 9M − 6M). No other calculated ratios, sums, or growth rates are displayed.
- Consolidated − standalone parent carve-outs do not apply: Arista reports consolidated financials under US GAAP with no standalone parent operating statements.
