DigitalOcean10-Q: Inflation impact

Operating cash flow drops 27% YoY due to rising data center and personnel costs.

What happened

Net cash from operations decreased by $17.2M (from $64.1M to $46.9M) year-over-year, driven by higher co-location costs from data center expansions and increased headcount. This pressure on margins could make the company receptive to cost optimization solutions for infrastructure management and operations.

Quarterly report (Form 10-Q)

DigitalOcean 10-Q

Filing excerpt

Net cash provided by operating activities was $46.9 million and $64.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change was primarily driven by higher co-location costs resulting from data center expansions, higher personnel costs due to increased headcount and annual merit-based salary raises, partially offset by increased cash collections from higher revenues.
