Table of Contents • • • build and maintain our strategic partnerships; anticipate and respond to macroeconomic changes and changes in the industry and markets in which we operate; anticipate and respond to evolving regulatory requirements and political dynamics; • maintain our safety-focused approach while meeting market demands; • • successfully monetize our models, platform, and applications; and respond effectively to competitive threats. If we fail to effectively address the risks and challenges we face, including those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. We have encountered in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies with limited operating histories in rapidly changing industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. We are at an early stage of our revenue growth, we have experienced rapid growth in recent periods, and our historical growth rates are not indicative of future performance or our ability to sustain or forecast future revenue growth. We have grown rapidly over the last several years, and therefore our recent revenue growth and financial performance should not be considered indicative of our future performance. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, our revenue was $41 million, $386 million, and $4.6 billion, respectively, representing year-over-year growth rates of 841% and 1,088%, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, our revenue was $16.3 billion, representing a year-over-year growth rate of 1,300%. We do not expect our revenue will continue to grow at comparable rates, and we cannot assure you that it will continue to grow at all. Our recent growth may reflect early-stage adoption dynamics, the nascency of the AI market, and rapid initial customer expansion that may not be sustainable over time, and it may decline significantly and more rapidly than we anticipate, as our revenue base increases, as the market matures, and as a result of the other factors described below. We expect our revenue growth rate to decline over time. In addition, because the AI industry is very nascent, we have struggled to accurately forecast our revenue in the past and may struggle to do so in the future. We may experience declines in our revenue growth rate as a result of a number of factors, including: • • • • • • • the slowing or shifting demand for our models, platform, and applications or the market as a whole; our inability to secure sufficient compute and direct it efficiently across our organization; insufficient growth in the number of users and paying customers of our models, platform, and applications or the failure to increase sales of our models, platform, and applications to existing customers; failures, errors, or performance limitations in our models, including unexpected behavior, degraded outputs, outages, or inability to meet customer expectations or use-case requirements; increasing competition among existing competitors and new market entrants; the safety and risk mitigation measures we implement in developing and releasing our models, including any resulting delays in model development or release, or the adoption of laws, regulations, or standards that affect how and when frontier AI models may be developed or released; our failure to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities; 62
