Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization

Palantir Technologies Inc. (including its subsidiaries, “Palantir” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 6, 2003. The Company builds and deploys software platforms that serve as the central operating systems for its customers.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Palantir Technologies Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities where the Company holds at least a 20% ownership interest and has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee, but does not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues, loss from operations, net loss, or cash flows. The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31.

The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including certain notes required by GAAP on an annual reporting basis. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the balance sheets and statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full fiscal year or any future period.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the identification of performance obligations in customer contracts; the valuation of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions; the collectability of contract consideration, including accounts receivable; the useful lives of tangible assets; and the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases. Estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, forecasted events, and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents primarily consist of amounts invested in money market funds.

Restricted cash primarily consists of cash and certificates of deposit that are held as collateral against letters of credit and guarantees that the Company is required to maintain for operating lease agreements, certain customer contracts, and other guarantees and financing arrangements.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

As of March 31,
20222021
Cash and cash equivalents$2,269,411$2,339,437
Restricted cash33,80437,106
Restricted cash, noncurrent29,22271,933
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash$2,332,437$2,448,476

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for credit losses, if any. The Company generally grants non-collateralized credit terms to its customers. Allowance for credit losses is based on the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio and is determined based on expectations of the customer’s ability to pay by considering factors such as customer type (commercial or government), historical experience, financial position of the customer, age of the accounts receivable, current economic conditions, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking factors about its portfolio and future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written-off and charged against an allowance for credit losses when the Company has exhausted collection efforts without success. Based upon the Company’s assessment as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, it did not record an allowance for credit losses as probable losses are not expected to be material.

Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and marketable securities. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds with original maturities of three months or less, which are invested primarily with U.S. financial institutions. Cash deposits with financial institutions, including restricted cash, generally exceed federally insured limits. Management believes minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial institutions and the Company has not experienced any losses on such amounts.

The Company is exposed to concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s accounts receivable balances as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $256.6 million and $190.9 million, respectively. Customer I represented 14% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022, No other customers represented more than 10% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no customer represented 10% or more of total revenue.

3. Contract Liabilities and Remaining Performance Obligations

Contract Liabilities

The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and customer deposits. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company's contract liability balances were $506.9 million and $463.3 million, respectively. Revenue of $187.0 million and $169.5 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balances as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company’s arrangements with its customers often have terms that span over multiple years. However, the Company allows many of its customers to terminate contracts for convenience prior to the end of the stated term with less than twelve months’ notice. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents noncancelable contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and, in certain instances, amounts that will be invoiced. The Company has elected the practical expedient allowing the Company to not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts with original terms of twelve months or less. Cancelable contracted revenue, which includes customer deposits, is not considered a remaining performance obligation.

The Company’s remaining performance obligations were $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2022, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 42% as revenue over the next 12 months, 41% as revenue over the subsequent 13 to 36 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Total$793,362$741,470$51,892$—

Certificates of Deposit

The Company’s Level 2 instruments consist of restricted cash invested in certificates of deposit. The fair value of such instruments is estimated based on valuations obtained from third-party pricing services that utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income-based and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs include interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and credit ratings.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of equity securities in publicly-traded companies and are recorded at fair market value each reporting period. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded net unrealized losses of $51.9 million and realized losses of $10.9 million within other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investments

Since 2021, the Company has approved and entered into certain agreements (“Investment Agreements”) to purchase, or commit to purchase, as further discussed in Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies—Investment Commitments, shares of various entities, including special purpose acquisition companies and/or other privately-held or publicly-traded entities (each, an “Investee,” and such purchases, and commitments to purchase, the “Investments”). In connection with signing the Investment Agreements, each Investee or an associated entity and the Company entered into a commercial contract for access to the Company’s products and services. The total value of such commercial contracts was $754.9 million as of March 31, 2022, which is inclusive of $116.2 million of

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

contractual options. The terms of such contracts, including contractual options, range from three to ten years. The majority of these commercial contracts are subject to various termination provisions, including for convenience in the event a proposed business combination is not completed.

The Company assesses the concurrent agreements under the non-monetary guidance within ASC 606—Revenue from Contracts with Customers as well as the commercial substance of each arrangement considering the customer’s ability and intention to pay as well as the Company’s obligation to perform under each contract. The total revenue recognized from these commercial contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $39.2 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company purchased shares for a total investment of $326.0 million. The following table presents the details of the investments purchased under such Investment Agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (in thousands):

6. Debt

2014 Credit Facility

In October 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit facility, which has been subsequently secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and amended from time to time (as amended, the “2014 Credit Facility”), including most recently on March 31, 2022 (the “March 2022 Amendment”). The March 2022 Amendment provides for, among other things, an extension of the revolving loan facility maturity date to March 31, 2027 and an increase of $100.0 million to the lenders’ revolving commitments for total revolving commitments of $500.0 million. The 2014 Credit Facility allows for the drawdown of up to $500.0 million to fund working capital and general corporate expenditures. Outstanding balances under the 2014 Credit Facility would incur interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a successor administrator of the SOFR (or the applicable benchmark replacement), plus 2.00% or a base rate plus 1.00%, subject to certain adjustments. The Company incurs a commitment fee of 0.30% assessed on the daily average undrawn portion of revolving commitments. Applicable interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly or more or less frequently in certain circumstances. The 2014 Credit Facility also allows for an incremental loan facility of additional term loans or revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount up to the amount and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein with one or more existing or new lenders upon mutual agreement between the Company and such lenders.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding debt balances and $500.0 million undrawn revolving commitments under the 2014 Credit Facility.

The 2014 Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, and certain financial and nonfinancial covenants, including but not limited to maintaining minimum liquidity of $50.0 million, and certain limitations on liens and indebtedness. The Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the 2014 Credit Facility as of March 31, 2022.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

In December 2019, the Company entered into, and subsequently amended, a minimum annual commitment to purchase cloud hosting services of at least $1.49 billion over six contract years, with an optional carryover period through June 30, 2029, in exchange for various discounts on such services. If the spend does not meet the minimum annual commitment each year or at the end of the term, the Company is obligated to make a return payment. If the difference is greater than $30.0 million for each of the first three contract years or $50.0 million for each of the contract years thereafter (“relief amounts”), the Company has the option to pay the respective relief amount for that year for services to be utilized in the future and the excess amount of the difference above the relief amount would be added to the minimum annual commitment of the following year through the end of the contract. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had satisfied $115.2 million of its $167.0 million commitment for the contract year ending June 30, 2022.

Investment Commitments

The Company approved and entered into certain Investment Agreements with Investees, as further discussed in Note 4. Investments and Fair Value Measurements—Investments. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding investment commitment relating to Rubicon, effective as of December 15, 2021, subject to the applicable terms and conditions, to purchase a total of 3.5 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $35.0 million. The closing of such investment commitment is contingent upon the completion of a proposed business combination by and among Rubicon and other applicable parties. The Company’s commercial contract with Rubicon contains termination for convenience clauses in the event the proposed business combination or the Company’s proposed investment is not completed.

Litigation and Legal Proceedings

From time to time, third parties may assert patent infringement claims against the Company. In addition, from time to time, the Company may be subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged

Table of contents

Palantir Technologies Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

infringement of trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights; employment claims; securities claims; investor claims; corporate claims; class action claims; and general contract, tort, or other claims. The Company may from time to time also be subject to various legal or government claims, disputes, or investigations. Such matters may include, but not be limited to, claims, disputes, allegations, or investigations related to warranty; refund; breach of contract; breach, leak, or misuse of personal data or confidential information; employment; government procurement; intellectual property; government regulation or compliance (including but not limited to anti-corruption requirements, export or other trade controls, data privacy or data protection, cybersecurity requirements, or antitrust/competition law requirements); securities; investor; corporate; or other matters. The Company establishes an accrual for loss contingencies when the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable.

On December 14, 2017, members of KT4 Partners LLC (Managing Member Marc Abramowitz) and Sandra Martin Clark, as trustee for the Marc Abramowitz Irrevocable Trust Number 7 (together, “KT4 Plaintiffs”), filed an action in the Delaware Superior Court against the Company and Disruptive Technology Advisers LLC. The complaint alleges tortious interference with prospective economic advantage and civil conspiracy in connection with a potential sale of stock by the KT4 Plaintiffs to a third party. The KT4 Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages, interest, fees, and costs.

The Company believes the lawsuit brought by the KT4 Plaintiffs is without merit and is vigorously defending itself against it. Given the uncertainty of litigation, it may be reasonably possible that the Company will incur a loss with regards to the matter; however, it cannot currently estimate a range of possible losses. Accordingly, the Company is unable at this time to estimate the ultimate impact of the litigation on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company was not aware of any currently pending legal matters or claims, individually or in the aggregate, that were expected to have a material adverse impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

The Company had irrevocable standby letters of credit and guarantees, including bank guarantees, outstanding in the amounts of $63.0 million and $76.2 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which were fully collateralized. The Company is required to maintain these letters of credit and guarantees primarily in connection with operating lease agreements, certain customer contracts, and other guarantees and financing arrangements. As of March 31, 2022, these letters of credit and guarantees had expiration dates through August 2031.

Warranties and Indemnification

The Company generally provides a warranty for its software products and services and a service level agreement (“SLA”) for the Company’s performance of software operations via its operations and maintenance (“O&M”) services to its customers. The Company’s products are generally warranted to perform substantially as described in the associated product documentation during the subscription term or for a period of up to 90 days where the software is hosted by the customer; and the Company includes O&M services as part of its subscription and license agreements to support this warranty and maintain the operability of the software. The Company’s services are generally warranted to be performed in a professional manner and by an adequate staff with knowledge about the products. In the event there is a failure of such warranties, the Company generally is obligated to correct the product or service to conform to the warranty provision, as set forth in the applicable SLA, or, if the Company is unable to do so, the customer is entitled to seek a refund of the purchase price of the product and service (generally prorated over the contract term). Due to the absence of historical warranty claims, the Company’s expectations of future claims related to products under warranty continue to be insignificant. The Company has not recorded warranty expense or related accruals as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company generally agrees to indemnify its customers against legal claims that the Company’s software products infringe certain third-party intellectual property rights and accounts for its indemnification obligations. In the event of such a claim, the Company is generally obligated to defend its customer against the claim and to either settle the claim at the Company’s expense or pay damages that the customer is legally required to pay to the third-party claimant. In addition, in the event of an infringement, the Company generally agrees to secure the right for the customer to continue using the infringing product; to modify or replace the infringing product; or, if those options are not commercially practicable, to refund the cost of the software, as prorated over the period. To date, the Company has not been required to make any payment resulting from infringement claims asserted against its customers and does not believe that the Company will be liable for such claims in the foreseeable future. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for infringement costs as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company has obligations under certain circumstances to indemnify each of the defendant directors and certain officers against judgments, fines, settlements, and expenses related to claims against such directors and certain officers and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under the law and the Company’s bylaws and Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

8. Stockholders' Equity

The Company’s Class A, Class B, and Class F common stock (collectively, the “common stock”) all have the same rights, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. Class A and Class B common stock have voting rights of 1 and 10 votes per share, respectively. The Class F common stock has the voting rights generally described herein and each share of Class F common stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder thereof, into one share of Class B common stock. All shares of Class F common stock are held in a voting trust established by Stephen Cohen, Alexander Karp, and Peter Thiel (the “Founders”). The Class F common stock generally gives the Founders the ability to control up to 49.999999% of the total voting power of the Company's capital stock, so long as the Founders and certain of their affiliates collectively meet a minimum ownership threshold, which was 100.0 million of the Company's equity securities as of March 31, 2022.

Holders of the common stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to the rights of the holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights to dividends. No dividends have been declared as of March 31, 2022.

10. Income Taxes

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.0 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. as well as other tax jurisdictions in which it conducts business. The Company’s effective tax rate as of March 31, 2022 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowance recorded on its losses from the U.S. and other jurisdictions, foreign income taxed at different rates, non-deductible stock-based compensation, and foreign withholding taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased by $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to decreases in profits from the Company’s international operations offset by an increase in foreign withholding taxes.

The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in future periods. The Company assesses its ability to realize the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, and it establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company weighs all available positive and negative evidence, including its earnings history and results of recent operations, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. For example, due to the weight of objectively verifiable negative evidence, including its history of U.S. and U.K. net operating tax losses, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that its U.S. and U.K. deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. Accordingly, the Company has maintained a full valuation allowance on its U.S. and U.K. deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2022.

Provisions enacted in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act related to the capitalization for tax purposes of research and experimental (“R&E”) expenditures became effective on January 1, 2022. Beginning January 1, 2022, all U.S. and non-U.S. based R&E expenditures must be capitalized and amortized over five and fifteen years, respectively. The U.S. Congress is considering legislation that would defer the amortization requirement to future periods. However, there is no assurance that the provision will be deferred, repealed or otherwise modified. The effect of the requirement did not have a material impact on our income tax provision.

12. Segment and Geographic Information

The following reporting segment tables reflect the results of the Company’s reportable operating segments consistent with the manner in which the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates the performance of each segment and allocates the Company’s resources. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of the Company’s assets on a segment basis for internal management reporting and, therefore, such information is not presented.

Contribution is used, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, each of the segments. A segment’s contribution is calculated as segment revenue less the related costs of revenue and sales and marketing expenses. It excludes certain operating expenses that are not allocated to segments because they are separately managed at the consolidated corporate level. These unallocated costs include stock-based compensation expense, research and development expenses, and general and administrative expenses.

Financial information for each reportable segment was as follows (in thousands):
