Temporary Equity	12 Months Ended

Equity [Abstract]
Temporary Equity	Temporary Equity Convertible Preferred Stock On December 13, 2024, we closed the SKT Investment. Pursuant to the terms of the SKT Purchase Agreement, we sold to Astra AI Infra 200,000 Issued Cayman CPS at a price of $1,000 per share or an aggregate price of $200.0 million. At the time of issuance, we evaluated the terms and conditions of the Issued Cayman CPS. Based on this evaluation, we determined that the Issued Cayman CPS did not contain redemption features that were outside the Company’s control and therefore initially classified the Issued Cayman CPS as permanent equity within the consolidated balance sheet. On June 30, 2025, we completed the U.S. Domestication, at which time 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. In connection with this event, we reassessed the classification of the Issued CPS. The terms of the Issued CPS are substantially the same as those of the Issued Cayman CPS. However, the Cayman governing documents included protective provisions that set forth the Company's ability to solely control redemption features. These provisions are not explicitly included in the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation or the CPS Delaware Certificate of Designation. The Company evaluated the absence of these provisions in the Delaware governing documents and determined that the CPS should be classified as temporary equity beginning June 30, 2025. Accordingly, the Issued CPS was reclassified to temporary equity effective June 30, 2025. In accordance with SEC guidance on redeemable equity securities, we reclassified the Issued CPS out of permanent equity at its fair value as of the date of the U.S. Domestication. The reclassification resulted in an adjustment to additional paid-in capital, representing the difference between the historical carrying amount and the fair value at the reclassification date. This adjustment had no impact on the Company’s net income, comprehensive income, or cash flows. As of June 30, 2025, we recorded $202.7 million of Issued CPS within temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet. As of August 29, 2025, we did not adjust the carrying values of the Issued CPS to the redemption values of such shares because a deemed liquidation event did not occur and the shares were not probable of becoming redeemable in the future as of the consolidated balance sheet date. Amended and Restated Investor Agreement On June 30, 2025, effective upon consummation of the U.S. Domestication, Penguin Solutions Delaware assumed the Investor Agreement from Penguin Solutions Cayman and Penguin Solutions Delaware and SKT amended and restated the Investor Agreement such that the rights and restrictions relating to SKT’s beneficial ownership of the Issued Cayman CPS in place prior to the U.S. Domestication apply in respect of SKT’s holdings of Issued CPS following consummation of the U.S. Domestication. Delaware Certificate of Designation for Convertible Preferred Stock On June 27, 2025, in connection with the U.S. Domestication, Penguin Solutions Delaware executed and adopted the CPS Delaware Certificate of Designation that sets forth the terms, rights and obligations of the Issued CPS. The principal attributes of the Issued Cayman CPS and the Issued CPS are substantially the same, subject to changes to give effect to requirements of Delaware law. Refer to the Certificate of Designation of Penguin Solutions, Inc., effective as of June 27, 2025, filed as Exhibit 3.3 hereto, to the description of the Issued CPS contained in the description of the Registrant’s capital stock, filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto, and to the information under the heading “Comparison of Rights of Cayman Islands Shareholders and Delaware Stockholders” in Penguin Solutions Cayman’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 2, 2025. Conversion A holder of Issued CPS may convert such holder’s Issued CPS into common stock at any time, provided that the shares of Issued CPS may, at our option, automatically be converted into common stock on any date following the second anniversary of the closing of the SKT Investment upon which the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for any fifteen consecutive trading day period equals or exceeds 150% of the then-applicable conversion price. The shares of Issued CPS are convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $32.81, subject to customary adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events (including share subdivision and consolidation, certain dividends and distributions, and any reclassification or share exchange). Dividends The shares of Issued CPS entitle the holder to receive dividends of six percent per annum, cumulative, and payable quarterly in-kind or in cash at our option, subject to certain conditions, including a stock issuance limitation. In 2026, we declared $12.1 million of preferred dividends, with $12.2 million paid in cash in 2026, and accrued $0.4 million of preferred dividends as of August 28, 2026. In 2025, we declared $8.7 million of preferred dividends, with $7.9 million paid in cash in 2025, and accrued $0.5 million of preferred dividends as of August 29, 2025. Liquidation Preference In case of a Liquidation Trigger Event (as defined in the CPS Delaware Certificate of Designation), each holder of Issued CPS will be entitled to receive, in preference to holders of common stock, the greater of (i) the original issue price plus accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to the date of the applicable Liquidation Trigger Event to the extent such accrued but unpaid dividends are not compounded dividends as of such time and (ii) the amount such holder of Issued CPS would receive had such holder, immediately prior to such Liquidation Trigger Event, converted the shares of Issued CPS into shares of common stock. The liquidation preference associated with the Issued CPS was $1,000 per share at August 28, 2026. Voting Rights Except as specified under applicable law, each holder of Issued CPS will be entitled to vote or consent as a single class with the holders of common stock on all matters submitted for a vote of or consent by holders of common stock, such number of votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of common stock in which all Issued CPS held of record by such holder could then be converted. Director Designation Rights SKT (through Astra AI Infra) is entitled to nominate one director if the total number of directors of the Company is eleven or less, and two directors if the total number of directors of the Company is twelve or more, to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company (any such director, an “Investor Designee”). The right to nominate an Investor Designee continues until such time as SKT and its subsidiaries and affiliates (including Astra AI Infra) beneficially own less than five percent of the common stock then issued and outstanding (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) directly or by holding Issued CPS. Company Redemption Rights Holders of Issued CPS do not have pre-emptive, subscription, or redemption rights. We may repurchase the Issued CPS in one installment upon notice to the holders of Issued CPS, provided that no such notice shall be sent until at least five years after the date of the closing of the SKT Investment.

On December 13, 2024, we closed the SKT Investment. Pursuant to the terms of the SKT Purchase Agreement, we sold to Astra AI Infra 200,000 Issued Cayman CPS at a price of $1,000 per share or an aggregate price of $200.0 million.

At the time of issuance, we evaluated the terms and conditions of the Issued Cayman CPS. Based on this evaluation, we determined that the Issued Cayman CPS did not contain redemption features that were outside the Company’s control and therefore initially classified the Issued Cayman CPS as permanent equity within the consolidated balance sheet.

On June 30, 2025, we completed the U.S. Domestication, at which time 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. In connection with this event, we reassessed the classification of the Issued CPS.

The terms of the Issued CPS are substantially the same as those of the Issued Cayman CPS. However, the Cayman governing documents included protective provisions that set forth the Company's ability to solely control redemption features. These provisions are not explicitly included in the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation or the CPS Delaware Certificate of Designation. The Company evaluated the absence of these provisions in the Delaware governing documents and determined that the CPS should be classified as temporary equity beginning June 30, 2025. Accordingly, the Issued CPS was reclassified to temporary equity effective June 30, 2025.

In accordance with SEC guidance on redeemable equity securities, we reclassified the Issued CPS out of permanent equity at its fair value as of the date of the U.S. Domestication. The reclassification resulted in an adjustment to additional paid-in capital, representing the difference between the historical carrying amount and the fair value at the reclassification date. This adjustment had no impact on the Company’s net income, comprehensive income, or cash flows.

As of June 30, 2025, we recorded $202.7 million of Issued CPS within temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet. As of August 29, 2025, we did not adjust the carrying values of the Issued CPS to the redemption values of such shares because a deemed liquidation event did not occur and the shares were not probable of becoming redeemable in the future as of the consolidated balance sheet date.

On June 30, 2025, effective upon consummation of the U.S. Domestication, Penguin Solutions Delaware assumed the Investor Agreement from Penguin Solutions Cayman and Penguin Solutions Delaware and SKT amended and restated the Investor Agreement such that the rights and restrictions relating to SKT’s beneficial ownership of the Issued Cayman CPS in place prior to the U.S. Domestication apply in respect of SKT’s holdings of Issued CPS following consummation of the U.S. Domestication.

On June 27, 2025, in connection with the U.S. Domestication, Penguin Solutions Delaware executed and adopted the CPS Delaware Certificate of Designation that sets forth the terms, rights and obligations of the Issued CPS. The principal attributes of the Issued Cayman CPS and the Issued CPS are substantially the same, subject to changes to give effect to requirements of Delaware law. Refer to the Certificate of Designation of Penguin Solutions, Inc., effective as of June 27, 2025, filed as Exhibit 3.3 hereto, to the description of the Issued CPS

contained in the description of the Registrant’s capital stock, filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto, and to the information under the heading “Comparison of Rights of Cayman Islands Shareholders and Delaware Stockholders” in Penguin Solutions Cayman’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 2, 2025.

A holder of Issued CPS may convert such holder’s Issued CPS into common stock at any time, provided that the shares of Issued CPS may, at our option, automatically be converted into common stock on any date following the second anniversary of the closing of the SKT Investment upon which the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for any fifteen consecutive trading day period equals or exceeds 150% of the then-applicable conversion price. The shares of Issued CPS are convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $32.81, subject to customary adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events (including share subdivision and consolidation, certain dividends and distributions, and any reclassification or share exchange).

The shares of Issued CPS entitle the holder to receive dividends of six percent per annum, cumulative, and payable quarterly in-kind or in cash at our option, subject to certain conditions, including a stock issuance limitation. In 2026, we declared $12.1 million of preferred dividends, with $12.2 million paid in cash in 2026, and accrued $0.4 million of preferred dividends as of August 28, 2026. In 2025, we declared $8.7 million of preferred dividends, with $7.9 million paid in cash in 2025, and accrued $0.5 million of preferred dividends as of August 29, 2025.

In case of a Liquidation Trigger Event (as defined in the CPS Delaware Certificate of Designation), each holder of Issued CPS will be entitled to receive, in preference to holders of common stock, the greater of (i) the original issue price plus accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to the date of the applicable Liquidation Trigger Event to the extent such accrued but unpaid dividends are not compounded dividends as of such time and (ii) the amount such holder of Issued CPS would receive had such holder, immediately prior to such Liquidation Trigger Event, converted the shares of Issued CPS into shares of common stock. The liquidation preference associated with the Issued CPS was $1,000 per share at August 28, 2026.

Except as specified under applicable law, each holder of Issued CPS will be entitled to vote or consent as a single class with the holders of common stock on all matters submitted for a vote of or consent by holders of common stock, such number of votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of common stock in which all Issued CPS held of record by such holder could then be converted.

SKT (through Astra AI Infra) is entitled to nominate one director if the total number of directors of the Company is eleven or less, and two directors if the total number of directors of the Company is twelve or more, to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company (any such director, an “Investor Designee”). The right to nominate an Investor Designee continues until such time as SKT and its subsidiaries and affiliates (including Astra AI Infra) beneficially own less than five percent of the common stock then issued and outstanding (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) directly or by holding Issued CPS.

Holders of Issued CPS do not have pre-emptive, subscription, or redemption rights. We may repurchase the Issued CPS in one installment upon notice to the holders of Issued CPS, provided that no such notice shall be sent until at least five years after the date of the closing of the SKT Investment.
