Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Company Overview, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Company Overview, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Rackspace Technology, Inc. ("Rackspace Technology") is a Delaware corporation controlled by investment funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Apollo"). Rackspace Technology was formed on July 21, 2016 but had no assets, liabilities or operating results until November 3, 2016 when Rackspace Hosting, Inc. (now named Rackspace Technology Global, Inc., or "Rackspace Technology Global"), a global provider of modern information technology-as-a-service, was acquired by Inception Parent, Inc., a wholly-owned entity indirectly owned by Rackspace Technology (the "Rackspace Acquisition"). Rackspace Technology Global commenced operations in 1998 as a limited partnership and was incorporated in Delaware in March 2000. Rackspace Technology serves as the holding company for Rackspace Technology Global and does not engage in any material business or operations other than those related to its indirect ownership of the capital stock of Rackspace Technology Global and its subsidiaries or business or operations otherwise customarily undertaken by a holding company. For ease of reference, the terms "we," "our company," "the company," "us," or "our" as used in this report refer to Rackspace Technology and its consolidated subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rackspace Technology, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain financial information and disclosures required for financial statements prepared under GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") disclosure rules and regulations that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 21, 2025 ("Annual Report"). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of September 30, 2025, our results of operations and stockholders' deficit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025, and our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or for any other interim period, or for any other future year. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property, equipment and software, software capitalization, incremental borrowing rates for lease liability measurement, fair values of intangible assets and reporting units, useful lives of intangible assets, share-based compensation, contingencies, and income taxes, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from our estimates. Liquidity Overview We are a highly leveraged company. As of September 30, 2025, we had $2,434.3 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under our debt instruments, which are comprised of the first lien first out senior secured term loan facility (the “FLFO Term Loan Facility”), the first lien second out senior secured term loan facility (the “FLSO Term Loan Facility”), the first lien term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"), 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes”), 5.375% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "5.375% Senior Notes"), and 3.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "3.50% Senior Secured Notes"). We primarily finance our operations and capital expenditures with internally-generated cash from operations and hardware leases, and if necessary, borrowings under the senior secured first lien first out revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility"). As of September 30, 2025, the New Revolving Credit Facility provided for up to $375.0 million of borrowings, $65.0 million of which was drawn and outstanding as of September 30, 2025. Our primary uses of cash are working capital requirements, debt service requirements and capital expenditures. Based on our current level of operations and available cash and cash equivalents of $99.5 million as of September 30, 2025, we believe our sources will provide sufficient liquidity over at least the next twelve months. We cannot provide assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under the New Revolving Credit Facility or from other sources in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. Our ability to do so depends on our ability to deliver on our strategic objectives and prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates Our Annual Report includes an additional discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets Goodwill Qualitative Goodwill Impairment Analysis Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to impairment testing on an annual basis as of October 1st or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, regulatory environment, established business plans, operating performance indicators or competition. Potential impairment indicators may also include, but are not limited to, (i) significant changes to estimates and assumptions used in the most recent annual or interim impairment testing, (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts, and the magnitude thereof, (iii) declines in our market capitalization below our book value, and the magnitude and duration of those declines, (iv) a reorganization resulting in a change to our operating segments, and (v) other macroeconomic factors, such as increases in interest rates that may affect the weighted average cost of capital, volatility in the equity and debt markets, or fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may negatively impact our reported results of operations. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 In connection with the debt refinancing transactions that were completed in March and April 2024, as further described in Note 7, “Debt”, we updated our internal forecasts. Our updated internal forecasts considered our year-to-date operating performance, current customer bookings and revised expectations based on current performance, revisions to our expected growth and timing of such growth based on current and expected performance, current customer retention rates, revisions to the timing of the expected effects of our strategic initiatives and overall related risks, including macroeconomic factors, to achieving our forecasts. Our Board of Directors reviewed and approved our internal budget for fiscal year 2024 on February 28, 2024. As of February 29, 2024, we assessed our Board of Directors approved 2024 internal budget along with several events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of our reporting units, including the significance of the amount, if any, of excess carrying value over fair value, consistency of our current and forecasted operating margins and cash flows, budgeted-to-actual performance, timing of the expected effects of our strategic initiatives, overall change in economic climate, changes in the industry and competitive environment, changes to our risk-adjusted discount rates and earnings quality and sustainability. After considering all available evidence in our evaluation of goodwill impairment indicators, we determined it appropriate to perform an interim quantitative assessment of our reporting units as of February 29, 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, as part our assessment of our annual plan, we updated our internal forecasts to consider our year-to-date operating performance, current customer bookings and revised expectations based on actuals, current customer retention rates, revisions to the timing of the expected effects of our strategic initiatives and overall related risks, including macroeconomic factors, to achieving our forecasts. As of September 30, 2024, we assessed our internal budget along with several events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of our reporting units, including the significance of the amount, if any, of excess carrying value over fair value, consistency of our current and forecasted operating margins and cash flows, budgeted-to-actual performance, timing of the expected effects of our strategic initiatives, overall change in economic climate, changes in the industry and competitive environment, changes to our risk-adjusted discount rates and earnings quality and sustainability. After considering all available evidence in our evaluation of goodwill impairment indicators, we determined it appropriate to perform an interim quantitative assessment of our reporting units as of September 30, 2024. Quantitative Goodwill Impairment Analysis Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. Assets and liabilities are assigned to each of our reporting units if they are employed by a reporting unit and are considered in the determination of the reporting unit fair value. Certain assets and liabilities are shared by multiple reporting units, and thus, are allocated to each reporting unit based on the relative size of a reporting unit, primarily based on revenue. We currently have two reporting units: Public Cloud and Private Cloud. For the interim quantitative goodwill impairment analyses performed, we compare the fair values of each of our reporting units to their respective carrying amounts. The fair values of each of our reporting units were derived using the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method. The discounted cash flow models reflect our assumptions and considerations regarding revenue growth rates, projected gross profit margins, projected operating costs, projected capital expenditures, risk-adjusted discount rates, terminal period growth rates, and economic market trends. As part of the goodwill impairment test, we also consider our market capitalization in assessing the reasonableness of the combined fair values estimated for our reporting units. Goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill for that reporting unit. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 The results of our quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of February 29, 2024 indicated an impairment of goodwill within our Public Cloud and Private Cloud reporting units of $385.4 million and $187.8 million, respectively. We recorded these non-cash impairment charges within "Impairment of goodwill" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss in the first quarter of 2024. The results of our quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of September 30, 2024 indicated an impairment of goodwill within our Public Cloud and Private Cloud reporting units of $69.2 million and $72.5 million, respectively. We recorded these non-cash impairment charges within "Impairment of goodwill" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss in the third quarter of 2024 Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Our indefinite-lived intangible asset consists of our Rackspace trade name, which was recorded at fair value on our balance sheet at the date of the Rackspace Acquisition. Our indefinite-lived intangible asset is tested for impairment at the consolidated level. In evaluating the recoverability of the Rackspace trade name, we compare the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount to determine potential impairment. Our estimate of the fair value of the Rackspace trade name is derived using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method. Due to the factors discussed in the goodwill analysis above and prior to testing our goodwill for impairment, we performed a quantitative assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible asset as of February 29, 2024. The quantitative assessment performed indicated the estimated fair value of the Rackspace trade name was less than its carrying value. As a result, we recorded a $20.0 million non-cash impairment charge as of February 29, 2024, which is included in "Impairment of assets, net" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss in the first quarter of 2024. Additionally, we performed a quantitative assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible asset prior to testing our goodwill for impairment as of September 30, 2024, which did not indicate any impairment of the Rackspace trade name. The fair value determination of our reporting units and our indefinite-lived intangible asset is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions that are sensitive to changes. Assumptions include estimation of the royalty rate for the trade name, estimation of future revenue growth rates, projected gross profit margins, projected operating costs, projected EBITDA margins, and projected capital expenditures, which are dependent on internal cash flow forecasts, estimation of the terminal growth rates and determination of risk-adjusted discount rates. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the quantitative indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of future results. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of our reporting units may include such items as: (i) volatility in the equity and debt markets or other macroeconomic factors, (ii) an increase in the weighted-average cost of capital due to further increases in interest rates, (iii) decreases in future cash flows due to lower than expected sales or greater than expected customer churn, or (iv) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may negatively impact our reported results of operations. Accordingly, if our current cash flow assumptions are not realized, we experience sustained declines in our stock price or market capitalization, or increases in costs of capital, it is possible that an additional impairment charge may be recorded in the future, which could be material. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, including operating and finance lease assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured at the asset group level. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized in the amount that an asset group's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In conjunction with the goodwill impairment analyses as of February 29, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we performed a recoverability test of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, by comparing the net book value of our long-lived assets or asset groups, to the future undiscounted net cash flows attributable to such assets, which did not result in any impairment charges. The fair value of our non-financial assets and liabilities, which include goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are measured on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of our reporting units, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Income Tax Disclosures In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 expands the existing disclosure requirements for the annual rate reconciliation between the effective tax rate and the statutory federal tax rate by requiring reconciliation items to be disaggregated by defined categories and disclosed as both percentages and amounts. The ASU also requires the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction for each annual period presented. This guidance is effective for Rackspace beginning with our 2025 Form 10-K annual disclosures, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of the ASU and, once adopted, will result in increased income tax disclosures. Measurement of Credit Losses In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 allows entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Internal-Use Software In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 removes all references to project stages within ASC No. 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing internal-use software costs, including defining the “probable-to-complete” recognition threshold. The guidance also specifies that the disclosures under ASC No. 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall, apply to capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC No. 350-40, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be applied on a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

After considering all available evidence in our evaluation of goodwill impairment indicators, we determined it appropriate to perform an interim quantitative assessment of our reporting units as of February 29, 2024.

During the third quarter of 2024, as part our assessment of our annual plan, we updated our internal forecasts to consider our year-to-date operating performance, current customer bookings and revised expectations based on actuals, current customer retention rates, revisions to the timing of the expected effects of our strategic initiatives and overall related risks, including macroeconomic factors, to achieving our forecasts. As of September 30, 2024, we assessed our internal budget along with several events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of our reporting units, including the significance of the amount, if any, of excess carrying value over fair value, consistency of our current and forecasted operating margins and cash flows, budgeted-to-actual performance, timing of the expected effects of our strategic initiatives, overall change in economic climate, changes in the industry and competitive environment, changes to our risk-adjusted discount rates and earnings quality and sustainability.

Goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill for that reporting unit.

The results of our quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of February 29, 2024 indicated an impairment of goodwill within our Public Cloud and Private Cloud reporting units of $385.4 million and $187.8 million, respectively. We recorded these non-cash impairment charges within "Impairment of goodwill" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss in the first quarter of 2024.

The results of our quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of September 30, 2024 indicated an impairment of goodwill within our Public Cloud and Private Cloud reporting units of $69.2 million and $72.5 million, respectively. We recorded these non-cash impairment charges within "Impairment of goodwill" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss in the third quarter of 2024

Our indefinite-lived intangible asset consists of our Rackspace trade name, which was recorded at fair value on our balance sheet at the date of the Rackspace Acquisition. Our indefinite-lived intangible asset is tested for impairment at the consolidated level. In evaluating the recoverability of the Rackspace trade name, we compare the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount to determine potential impairment. Our estimate of the fair value of the Rackspace trade name is derived using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method.

Due to the factors discussed in the goodwill analysis above and prior to testing our goodwill for impairment, we performed a quantitative assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible asset as of February 29, 2024. The quantitative assessment performed indicated the estimated fair value of the Rackspace trade name was less than its carrying value. As a result, we recorded a $20.0 million non-cash impairment charge as of February 29, 2024, which is included in "Impairment of assets, net" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss in the first quarter of 2024.

The fair value determination of our reporting units and our indefinite-lived intangible asset is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions that are sensitive to changes. Assumptions include estimation of the royalty rate for the trade name, estimation of future revenue growth rates, projected gross profit margins, projected operating costs, projected EBITDA margins, and projected capital expenditures, which are dependent on internal cash flow forecasts, estimation of the terminal growth rates and determination of risk-adjusted discount rates. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the quantitative indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of future results.

Accordingly, if our current cash flow assumptions are not realized, we experience sustained declines in our stock price or market capitalization, or increases in costs of capital, it is possible that an additional impairment charge may be recorded in the future, which could be material.

Long-lived assets, including operating and finance lease assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured at the asset group level. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized in the amount that an asset group's carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

In conjunction with the goodwill impairment analyses as of February 29, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we performed a recoverability test of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, by comparing the net book value of our long-lived assets or asset groups, to the future undiscounted net cash flows attributable to such assets, which did not result in any impairment charges.

The fair value of our non-financial assets and liabilities, which include goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are measured on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of our reporting units, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 expands the existing disclosure requirements for the annual rate reconciliation between the effective tax rate and the statutory federal tax rate by requiring reconciliation items to be disaggregated by defined categories and disclosed as both percentages and amounts. The ASU also requires the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction for each annual period presented. This guidance is effective for Rackspace beginning with our 2025 Form 10-K annual disclosures, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of the ASU and, once adopted, will result in increased income tax disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 allows entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 removes all references to project stages within ASC No. 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing internal-use software costs, including defining the “probable-to-complete” recognition threshold. The guidance also specifies that the disclosures under ASC No. 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall, apply to capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC No. 350-40, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements.
