Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (“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, but does not control, the investee 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, income from operations, net income, or cash flows. The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 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 income, 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, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025. 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 valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation awards, and the collectability of contract consideration, including accounts receivable. 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, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, except for the changes noted below. 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 and U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities of three months or less. 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):
| As of September 30,
| 2025 |  | 2024
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 1,615,967 |  |  | $ | 768,710 |
Restricted cash included in prepaid expenses and other current assets | 9,454 |  |  | 79 |
Restricted cash included in other assets | 19,405 |  |  | 19,667 |
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | 1,644,826 |  |  | $ | 788,456 |
Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, marketable securities, and privately-held equity securities. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $1.0 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively. Customer I represented 16% and 26% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and Customer J represented 11% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2025. No other customer represented more than 10% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no customer represented more than 10% of total revenue. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, requiring enhancements and further transparency to certain income tax disclosures, most notably the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard in its consolidated financial statement for the year ending December 31, 2025, and expects the adoption to result in expanded income tax disclosures, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial position or consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires the disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the consolidated financial statements on an annual and interim basis. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 on either a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software, which simplifies the capitalization guidance related to internal-use software by removing all references to software development project stages so the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted and can be applied using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging and Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which refines the scope of the guidance on derivatives in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815 and clarifies the guidance on share-based payments from a customer in ASC 606. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied prospectively to new contracts entered into on or after the date of adoption or on a modified retrospective basis for contracts existing as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.
