From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • CFO Christiane Ohlgart said large enterprise deals and gradual service activations delayed service revenue, while service billings and deferred revenue continued to grow.
  • CEO Ken Xie said demand remained elevated, but component lead times had lengthened as the benefit of inventory held earlier in the year diminished.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
