ANNUAL REPORT | 2024
Letter from the CEO,
Dhrupad Trivedi
To Our Stockholders
2024 was a year that validated our strategy and focus on operational excellence
as we navigated challenging market conditions in our service provider
customers. We responded to the slowdown in spending from service providers
by accelerating investments to drive demand from enterprise customers and we
made great progress growing our footprint. Security and AI-related investments
are increasingly serving as a catalyst for spending as customers expand their
use of hybrid cloud and increase their focus on cybersecurity. Our solution set
is well-aligned with both secular trends building upon our core technology and
differentiation.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we announced our blueprint to secure and deliver
AI applications and extend our A10 Defend security portfolio with additional
capabilities for bot protection, hybrid DDoS mitigation, as well as the centralized
management of all our products with A10 Control. We believe we have a compelling
offering for enterprise customers, and we are investing heavily to bolster our suite
of solutions to align with AI trends.
We continue to focus on operational execution, and we believe our diversified
business model helps us navigate short-term fluctuations in spending priorities,
maintain profitability and outperform our peer group. We continue to focus on
strengthening our customer relationships, increasing company value and driving
sustainable growth.
As we look to 2025, our strategic plan is based on three key areas.
Grow the enterprise business We are placing significant effort and resources in
expanding our footprint in the enterprise customer segment, while also increasing
customer adoption across our hybrid cloud, security and AI-related solutions to
solve their key challenges.
Expand the use of AI We are driving investments in AI-ready solutions to
help our customers secure their AI applications and enable AI-ready data center
infrastructures.
Grow the security portfolio and revenue We continue to invest in and expand
our security solution portfolio to help our customers better address the rapidly
expanding threat landscape, including addressing new AI-powered cyber threats.
ANNUAL REPORT | 2024
Our results exiting 2024 are a positive indicator heading into 2025, and we believe
validates the durability of our business model. We believe our outlook is bolstered
by an improving competitive position with both customer segments and a clear
strategy for revenue growth and continued profitability which we believe provides
the foundation for our mission to help enable business-critical networks that are
secure, available, and efficient.
Thank you for your trust and support.
