DataPelago, Inc. Acquisition

On July 16, 2026, we acquired all the outstanding shares of DataPelago, Inc., (DataPelago), a privately-held company, for $193 million, of which $87 million was paid in cash at closing. The remaining $106 million represents contingent consideration, which we recognized in accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and which will be paid if certain criteria as defined in the merger agreement are achieved. DataPelago is an AI data infrastructure company recognized for its innovative approach to eliminate data processing bottlenecks for AI and analytics workloads.

The acquired net assets of DataPelago were recorded at their estimated values, which we determined with the assistance of valuations performed by third party specialists. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of a developed technology intangible asset with an estimated useful life of five years. We expect to realize revenue synergies and anticipate future opportunities for growth through the ability to leverage additional future products and capabilities. These factors, among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated value of the identifiable net assets acquired, and as a result, we have recorded goodwill in connection with the acquisition. This goodwill has been allocated between our Hybrid Cloud and Public Cloud reporting units, and it is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities assumed becomes available during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Similarly, the allocation of goodwill among our reporting units is subject to revision.

The results of operations related to the acquisition of DataPelago have been included in our condensed consolidated statements of income from the acquisition date. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the impact from the acquisition was not material to our consolidated results of operations.
