  • Second quarter product revenue is projected to be between $435 million and $440 million, representing a 71-73% year-over-year growth.
  • Full-year product revenue is expected to be between $1.885 billion and $1.9 billion, indicating a 65-67% year-over-year growth.

  • Adjusted free cash flow is projected to be approximately 16% for the full year.

Challenges Ahead

  • The company anticipates an operating loss of 2% for the second quarter.
  • Forward-looking non-GAAP guidance measures are not reconciled to corresponding GAAP measures due to uncertainties in predicting future expenses.
  • Stock-based compensation-related charges and employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions can impact future financial results.
  • The competitive and rapidly changing environment poses risks to achieving forward-looking statements.
  • New risks may emerge, and it is not possible to predict all risks or assess their potential impact on the company's business.
