Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
We operate using a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the first Sunday after January 30, which for fiscal 2025 was February 2, 2025 and for fiscal 2026 will be February 1, 2026. The third quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2026 ended on November 3, 2024 and November 2, 2025. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to our fiscal year and fiscal quarters.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2025.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income 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 2026 or any future period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the determination of standalone selling price for revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations when the price at which the performance obligation sold separately or observable past transactions are not available, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, the period of benefit for deferred contract costs for commissions, fair value for certain stock-based awards, provision for income taxes including related reserves, fair value of leases and impairment of related right-of-use (ROU) assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is associated with our letters of credit for leases and certain employee-related benefits. At the end of fiscal 2025 and the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we had restricted cash of $14.2 million and $21.3 million. Included in these amounts are $1.6 million and $2.1 million classified as prepaid expenses and other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from two sources: (1) product revenue which includes the sale of our integrated storage hardware products and embedded licensed operating system software, royalties from hyperscaler shipments, and the sale of Portworx term software licenses, and (2) subscription services revenue which includes primarily our portfolio of Evergreen and Portworx offerings as well as our professional services offerings such as installation and implementation consulting services.
We typically recognize product revenue for our integrated storage hardware products upon transfer of control to our customers and the satisfaction of our performance obligations. Royalties from hyperscaler shipments of third party hardware that provide the hyperscaler customer a perpetual license to use our functional intellectual property (IP) are recognized when the revenue is earned based upon shipments by our supply chain partners. Revenue from Portworx term software licenses, which grant customers the right to use for our functional IP for a specified period, is recognized at the point in time the software activation keys are made available to the customer for download at commencement of the initial or renewal term. For Evergreen//Flex, product revenue is recognized upon the commencement of the underlying subscription services. Products are typically shipped directly by us to customers.
We recognize subscription services revenue from Evergreen//Forever and Evergreen//Flex ratably over the contractual term, which generally ranges from one to six years. The majority of our product solutions are sold with either a Evergreen//Forever or Evergreen//Flex subscription service agreement, which begins upon either transfer of control of the corresponding products or commencement of the subscription services to our customers. In addition, the subscription service agreement provides our customers with a new controller based upon certain contractual terms. The controller refresh represents a separate performance obligation that is included within the subscription service agreement and the allocated revenue is recognized upon shipment of the controller. Costs associated with Evergreen//Forever and Evergreen//Flex subscription services are expensed when incurred.
Our Evergreen//Forever and Evergreen//Flex subscription services also include the right to receive unspecified software updates and upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis, software bug fixes, replacement parts and other services related to the underlying infrastructure, as well as access to our cloud-based management and support platform.
For Evergreen//One, subscription services revenue is recognized over the contractual term on a consumption basis, beginning on the commencement date of the underlying subscription services to our customers. Our Evergreen//One subscription services agreement generally includes a minimum usage commitment amount as well as fees for usage in excess of such amount.
We also sell professional services such as installation and implementation consulting services and the related revenue is recognized as services are performed.
We recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This is achieved through applying the following five-step approach:

Identification of the contract, or contracts with a customer
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
Determination of the transaction price
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation
When applying this five-step approach, we apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience and/or published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. To the extent a customer contract includes multiple promised goods or services, we determine whether promised goods or services should be accounted for as a separate performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration which we will be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (SSP). The SSP is determined based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately, or if not observable through past transactions, is estimated taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to performance obligations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires greater disaggregation of tax information in rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. We plan to adopt the standard on a prospective basis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, and expect the adoption to result in expanded income tax disclosures, but no impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosures of specific expense categories included within each expense caption presented on the Statements of Operations. The new standard can be applied on either a fully retrospective or prospective basis. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning February 1, 2027, and interim periods within our fiscal year beginning February 7, 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use-Software, which amends the cost capitalization criteria for internal-use software development costs by removing all references to software project development stages and providing new guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-complete recognition threshold has been met. The new standard can be applied on either a fully retrospective, modified transition, or prospective basis. ASU 2025-06 will be effective for our fiscal years beginning after fiscal 2028 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies that the interim reporting requirements in Topic 270 apply to all entities that issue interim financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and consolidates such requirements within Topic 270. The amendments provide a comprehensive list within Topic 270 of required interim disclosures, establish a principle requiring disclosure of events or changes occurring after the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on interim results. and clarifies the form and content requirements applicable to interim financial statements. ASU 2025-11 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning February 7, 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
