Financial Outlook For the third quarter of 2025, we expect: Revenue of approximately $2.25 billion Non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 64%; and Non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 47%. Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes certain items, including stock-based compensation expense, intangible asset amortization, and potential non-recurring charges or benefits. A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because these exclusions can be uncertain or difficult to predict, including stock-based compensation expense, which is impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions, the company's future hiring and retention needs and the future fair market value of the company's common stock. The actual amount of these exclusions will have a significant impact on the company's GAAP gross margin and GAAP operating margin. Prepared Materials and Conference Call Information Arista's executives will discuss the second quarter 2025 financial results on a conference call today at 1:30 PM Pacific Time. To listen to the call via telephone, dial (888) 330-2502 in the United States or +1 (240) 789-2713 from international locations. The Conference ID is 5655862.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release and accompanying table contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted net income per share.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to limitations and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. A description of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of the company's non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Here Are The Self-Made Scores For The Women On Forbes' 2025 Self-Made List
Not all fortunes are created from the same starting point. This year, a small number of the 100 members of Forbes' 2025 list of America's Richest Self-Made Women were born into wealthy families. An even smaller number grew up in poverty and battled adversity. Just over half come from middle-class backgrounds. As part of our reporting on how these inspiring entrepreneurs, executives and entertainers built their careers, we delved into list members' histories, taking into account their family's socioeconomic status and any setbacks or advantages that shaped their paths to success, and using that information assigned each member a self-made score to indicate how far they've come on their climb to the top. We initially created this scoring system in 2014 for the annual Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans, with scores from 1 to 5 denoting that an individual inherited their wealth, and scores from 6-10 reflecting degrees of self-made. For our list of self-made women, by definition no members have inherited their fortunes, so we use the scores from 6 to 10 to indicate that they've built their own fortunes. Hired hand who didn't start the business. This year, 12 women amassed their wealth through well-compensated executive positions, including Jayshree Ullal, president and CEO of Artista Networks, and Dana Emery, the CEO of asset management firm Dodge and Cox. They made their own money—but working for someone else. Self-made who got a head start from wealthy parents and an affluent background. Kim Kardashian and JPMorganChase executive Mary Callahan Erdoes are two of the ten list members who scored a 7 this year. Kardashian's late father Robert was best known for being O.J. Simpson's defense attorney, while Erdoes' dad was a partner at an investment banking firm. Self-made who grew up in a middle-class or upper-middle-class background. Just over half of the list–52 women in all (vs. 54 last year)–fall into this category, including pop stars Taylor Swift and Celine Dion, and defense firm General Dynamics' CEO Phebe Novakovic. Self-made who was raised in a working-class environment. This year, 20 list members came from such a background, one more than in 2024. Diane Hendricks of roofing giant ABC Supply grew up as one of nine sisters on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. Selena Gomez's parents were just 16 when she was born in Grand Prairie, Texas; after their divorce five years later, her mother had to work three jobs to keep the family afloat. Self-made who grew up poor and faced significant hurdles. Only four list members–all in the entertainment industry–received a 10 this year. Oprah Winfrey was born to a teenage mother in rural Mississippi and has been public about the abuse she faced as a child. Rihanna, Barbra Streisand and Dolly Parton also grew up in poverty.
