Palantir Technologies Inc.
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, Palantir Gotham and Palantir Foundry, 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. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, 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 (deficit), 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.
The Company ceased to be an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2020, which accelerated its adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02,

As a result, certain components of cash flows used in operating activities within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, have been presented to conform to the new standard. The impact to the presentation of the other statements was not material.
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, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021.
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, identification of performance obligations in customer contracts ;
the valuation of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions ;
collectability of contract consideration, including accounts receivable ;
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, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
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.
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):

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 assessment as of September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an immaterial allowance for credit losses. As of December 31, 2020, the Company did no t record an allowance for credit losses.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Other Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $ 174.4 million and $ 156.9 million, respectively. Customer H represented 11 % of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2021. Customer G represented 13 % of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020. No other customer represented more than 10 % of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company seeks to mitigate its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by contracting with large commercial customers and government agencies and regularly monitoring the aging of accounts receivable balances. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had not experienced any significant losses on its accounts receivable.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, no customer represented more than 10 % of total revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, no customer represented more than 10 % of total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Customer F, which is in the government operating segment, represented 11 % of total revenue. No other customer represented more than 10 % of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The Company relies on the technology, infrastructure, and software applications, including software-as-a-service
offerings, of third parties in order to host or operate certain key products and functions of its business.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12,
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740),
as part of its simplification initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12
removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12
also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of GAAP. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12
as of January 1, 2021 using transition methods allowed under each aspect of the guidance. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Contract Liabilities and Remaining Performance Obligations
Contract Liabilities
The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and customer deposits. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s contract liability balances were $ 510.3 million and $ 531.9 million, respectively. Revenue of $ 347.7 million and $ 406.4 million was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balances as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company’s arrangements with its customers often have terms that span over multiple years. However, the Company generally allows 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 $ 873.9 million as of September 30, 2021, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 45 % as revenue over the next twelve months.
Disaggregation of Revenue

4. Investments and Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments consist of money market funds and certificates of deposit included in cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable, equity securities, other assets accounted for at fair value, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Money market funds, certificates of deposit, and marketable securities are stated at fair value on a recurring basis. Accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment date.
The following tables present the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation (in thousands):

Certificates of Deposit
The Company’s Level 2 instruments consist of cash equivalents and 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. Gross unrealized gains or losses on certificate of deposits as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were not material.
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded net unrealized losses of
$ 7.2 million within other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Investments
The Company approved and entered into certain agreements (“Investment Agreements”) to purchase, or commit to purchase, as further discussed in Note 8. 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 maximum potential revenue from all of these commercial contracts is $ 640.2 million, which is inclusive of $ 82.9 million of contractual options. The terms of such contracts, including such 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.

During November 2019, the Company and SOMPO Holdings, Inc. (“SOMPO”) created a Japanese Kabushiki Kaisha (“K.K.”), Palantir Technologies Japan, K.K. (“Palantir Japan”), to distribute Palantir platforms to the Japanese market. Upon closing of the transaction with SOMPO, the Company purchased a total of 100,000 shares of Palantir Japan common stock for $ 25.0 million. The shares the Company received in exchange represent a 50 % voting interest in Palantir Japan. The remaining 50 % of the voting interest is held by SOMPO. The Company’s investment in Palantir Japan is accounted for as an equity method investment as the Company is able to exercise significant influence over, but does not control, the investee.
7. Debt
2014 Credit Facility
In October 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit facility which has been subsequently amended (the “2014 Credit Facility”). The 2014 Credit Facility incurred interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 2.75 % per annum, subject to certain adjustments, and incurs a commitment fee of 0.375 % assessed on the daily average undrawn portion of revolving commitments. Interest and commitment fees are payable at the end of an interest period or at each three-month interval if the interest period is longer than three months. The 2014 Credit Facility, as amended, matures on June 4, 2023 .
During April 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2014 Credit Facility, which provided for an increase of $ 200.0 million to the revolving commitments of the existing lenders under the 2014 Credit Facility, for total revolving commitments of $ 400.0 million, and which also provided for an incremental loan facility for additional loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 100.0 million with one or more existing or new lenders upon mutual agreement between the Company and such lenders. Upon entering into the amendment, the Company repaid its outstanding term loans of $ 200.0 million. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the 2014 Credit Facility and a $ 400.0 million undrawn revolving credit facility.
The 2014 Credit Facility contains customary r epresentat
ions 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 September 30, 2021.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
In December 2019, the Company entered into, and subsequently amended during December 2020, 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. I f 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 September 30, 2021, the Company had satisfied $ 34.0 million of its $ 167.0 million commitment for the contract year ending June 30, 2022.

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 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 is unable to predict whether or when any such matters may arise, the outcome of these matters, or the ultimate legal and financial liability, and cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss at this time and accordingly has not accrued a related liability.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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 this lawsuit 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 overall effects that may result from the lawsuit on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
As of September 30, 2021, 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 $ 88.1 million and $ 116.8 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, all of which were fully collateralized. The Company is required to maintain these letters of credit and guarantees primarily for operating lease agreements, certain customer contracts, and other guarantees and financing arrangements. As of September 30, 2021, these letters of credit and guarantees had expiration dates through August 2028.
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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
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.
9. 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 below 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 million of the Company’s equity securities as of September 30, 2021.

Company expects to recognize over three years .
Growth Units
In May 2019, the Company granted growth units which vest upon the satisfaction of both a performance-based vesting condition, which was satisfied upon the Company’s Direct Listing, and a service-based vesting condition, which was satisfied in March 2021. In March 2021, the 3.6 million outstanding growth units vested and, per the formula applicable to the awards, converted into 1.5 million shares of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized the remaining stock-based compensation expense related to the growth units of $ 1.2 million.

On September 30, 2020, in connection with the Direct Listing, the Company incurred $ 769.5 million and $ 8.4 million of stock-based compensation using the accelerated attribution method related to the satisfaction of the performance-based vesting condition for RSUs and growth units, respectively, that had satisfied the service-based vesting condition as of such date.
11. Income Taxes
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $ 1.4 million and a benefit from
income taxes of $ 8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and a
benefit from
income taxes of $ 1.1 million and $ 5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 rate 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 the revaluation of its United Kingdom (“UK”) deferred tax assets as a result of a change in the UK corporate tax rate enacted during the second quarter of 2021, which increased the rate from 19 % to 25 % effective April 1, 2023.
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 losses in certain jurisdictions, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. Accordingly, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance on its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.

13. Segment and Geographic Information
The following 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.
