| Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation U.S. Domestication: On June 30, 2025, we consummated the redomiciliation of the parent company of our corporate group, Penguin Solutions (Cayman), Inc., formerly known as Penguin Solutions, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Penguin Solutions Cayman”), from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware in the United States, resulting in Penguin Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Penguin Solutions Delaware”), becoming our publicly traded parent company (the “U.S. Domestication”). The U.S. Domestication was approved by the shareholders of Penguin Solutions Cayman and effected via a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Cayman Islands law, pursuant to which each ordinary share of Penguin Solutions Cayman was exchanged for one share of common stock of Penguin Solutions Delaware, and each convertible preferred share of Penguin Solutions Cayman was exchanged for one share of convertible preferred stock of Penguin Solutions Delaware. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penguin Solutions Cayman and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the U.S. Domestication, and the accounts of Penguin Solutions Delaware and its consolidated subsidiaries after the consummation of the U.S. Domestication. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Penguin Solutions,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (i) for periods prior to the consummation of the U.S. Domestication refer to Penguin Solutions Cayman and its consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) for periods at or after the consummation of the U.S. Domestication refer to Penguin Solutions Delaware and its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 29, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, to fairly state the financial information set forth herein. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2025 Annual Report. Fiscal Year: Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Friday in August. Fiscal years 2026 and 2025 each contain 52 weeks. All period references are to our fiscal periods unless otherwise indicated. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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, Derivatives and Hedging, and clarifies the guidance on share-based payments from a customer in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We adopted this standard at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 on a prospective basis and in connection with the contingent consideration arrangement received as part of the disposition of our investment in Celestial AI, as described under “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Cash and Investments – Celestial AI.” The adoption of ASU 2025-07 enabled us to determine that the contingent consideration arrangement qualified for the scope exception under ASC 815 and was not accounted for as a derivative instrument at the transaction date. Instead, we have elected a policy to recognize any gain from this arrangement when the consideration becomes realizable. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption but will affect the timing of recognition of any future gains related to this contingent consideration.
