Note: ASC 805 acquisition disclosures, including purchase price allocation.
Palo Alto Networks Inc (PANW) · Form 10-K for period ended 2026-07-31 · filed 2026-09-10 · Section: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

We make significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments when valuing assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to purchased intangible assets, in connection with the initial purchase price allocation of an acquired business. Critical estimates in valuing certain purchased intangible assets include, but are not limited to, cash flows that an asset is expected to generate in the future, discount rates, the time and expense that would be necessary to recreate the assets, and the profit margin a market participant would receive on such recreated assets. The amounts and useful lives assigned to identified intangible assets impact the amount and timing of future amortization expense.

One of our business combinations has included post-closing payments contingent upon the occurrence of future events and/or certain conditions being met. Critical estimates used in valuing our contingent consideration obligation include, but are not limited to, estimated future cash payments related to customers entering into qualified new transactions and risk-adjusted discount rates used to present value the expected cash flows. These estimates and assumptions are updated to revalue our contingent consideration liability at the end of each reporting period. Accordingly, subsequent changes in underlying facts and circumstances could result in changes in these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the estimated future fair values of these obligations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Our sales contracts are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. A portion of our operating expenditures are denominated in foreign currencies, making them subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Additionally, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our statement of operations. Foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses and foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not had a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.
