The Company reviews the recognition of deferred tax assets on a regular basis to determine if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Due to the weight of objectively verifiable negative evidence, including the Company’s history of U.S. and certain foreign net operating tax losses, primarily in the U.K., the Company has continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against potential future benefits for U.S, federal, state, and certain foreign deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025. The Company will release the valuation allowance when there is sufficient positive evidence to support a conclusion that it is more likely than not the future benefit on such deferred tax assets will be realized. Although the Company has achieved positive cumulative income before provision for income taxes in the U.S. over the past three years, when adjusting for permanent differences, primarily related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, the outcome resulted in a cumulative tax loss position for that period. The future timing and amount of such valuation allowance being released is uncertain based on the 109 Table of Contents Palantir Technologies Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Company’s future assessment of all available evidence, including its recent earnings and anticipated future earnings, expected temporary and permanent differences, especially those related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies. As such, there is a reasonable possibility that the Company may have sufficient positive evidence in the future to release all or a portion of the valuation allowance it recorded against its deferred tax assets. The release of all, or a portion, of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and may result in a material decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. The valuation allowance totaled $ 3.5 billion and $ 2.7 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets increased by $ 741.9 million and $ 608.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Such increase was primarily a result of an increase in excess tax benefits from permanent differences related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, partially offset by an increase in income before provision for income taxes in the U.S. Provisions enacted in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act related to the capitalization for tax purposes of research and experimental (“R&E”) expenditures became effective on January 1, 2022. All U.S. and non-U.S. based R&E expenditures had to be capitalized and amortized over five and fifteen years, respectively. As a result of this enactment, the Company began capitalizing and amortizing R&E expenditures over five years for domestic research and fifteen for international research rather than expensing these costs as incurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $ 504.2 million related to the capitalization requirement. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, introducing several significant U.S. income tax provisions relevant to the Company. The provisions include immediate expensing of domestic R&E expenditures beginning in 2025. As a result, the Company expensed the domestic R&E expenditures paid or incurred in the current year and also the unamortized domestic R&E expenditures capitalized in the prior years. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $ 85.4 million related to the capitalization requirement. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating losses of approximately $ 9.0 billion and $ 4.8 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating losses of approximately $ 5.5 billion and $ 3.2 billion, respectively. The U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2035 through 2037 if not utilized, with the exception of $ 8.3 billion which can be carried forward indefinitely. The state net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2026 through 2045 if not utilized. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal and California research and development credits of approximately $ 577.9 million and $ 152.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had federal and California research and development credits of approximately $ 426.3 million and $ 122.6 million, respectively. The federal research and development credits will begin to expire in the years 2027 through 2045 if not utilized and the California research and development credits have no expiration date. Utilization of the net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership percentage change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards before utilization. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had U.S. federal capital loss carryforwards of $ 355.3 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had U.S. federal capital loss carryforwards of $ 351.5 million. The capital loss carryforwards will expire beginning in 2027 if not utilized. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had foreign net operating losses, primarily in the U.K., of approximately $ 1.8 billion. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had foreign net operating losses, primarily in the U.K., of approximately $ 0.9 billion. These net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an immaterial amount of earnings from its wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. The Company does not intend to repatriate these earnings and, accordingly, the Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding tax on these earnings. 110 Table of Contents Palantir Technologies Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) global minimum tax provision (“Pillar Two”) rules are at varying stages of adoption across jurisdictions where the Company operates. While the United States has not yet adopted Pillar Two, several countries have enacted Pillar Two and these rules were applicable to the Company starting January 1, 2024 in some jurisdictions, and it did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations for the periods presented. Furthermore, in response to trade negotiations with the United States, the Group of 7 countries (the “G7”) announced a joint understanding to exempt U.S.-parented multinational corporations from Pillar Two by adopting a “side-by-side” system between Pillar Two and the existing U.S. global minimum tax provisions, and the OECD released “Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy – Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two), Side-by-Side Package: Inclusive Framework on BEPS” on January 5, 2026, to this effect, which reduces the impact of Pillar Two rules on the Company. Uncertain Tax Positions A reconciliation of the gross unrecognized tax benefits consists of the following (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Unrecognized tax benefit beginning of year $ 151,183 $ 112,016 $ 81,904 Increases in current year tax positions 45,426 39,494 14,346 Increases in prior year tax positions 43 2,926 15,766 Decreases in prior year tax positions — — — Decreases in prior year tax positions due to settlements ( 12,445 ) ( 3,253 ) — Decreases in prior year tax positions due to lapse of statute of limitations — — — Unrecognized tax benefit end of year $ 184,207 $ 151,183 $ 112,016 As of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded gross unrecognized tax benefits of $ 184.2 million, $ 151.2 million, and $ 112.0 million, respectively, that, if recognized, would not benefit the Company’s effective tax rate due to the valuation allowance that currently offsets deferred tax assets. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has recorded immaterial interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. The Company files U.S. federal, state, and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitation. The material jurisdictions where the Company is subject to potential examination by tax authorities are the U.S. (federal and state) for tax years 2004 through 2025 and the U.K. for tax years 2024 through 2025. 111 Table of Contents Palantir Technologies Inc.

Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except per share amounts): As of December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Numerator Net income attributable to common stockholders for diluted earnings per share $ 1,625,033 $ 462,190 $ 209,825 Denominator Weighted-average shares used in computing earnings per share: Basic 2,369,612 2,250,163 2,147,446 Effect of dilutive shares 195,585 200,655 150,481 Diluted 2,565,197 2,450,818 2,297,927 Earnings per share Earnings per share attributable to common stockholders: Basic $ 0.69 $ 0.21 $ 0.10 Diluted $ 0.63 $ 0.19 $ 0.09 Diluted earnings per share is calculated using our weighted-average shares of outstanding common stock including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method. There were outstanding potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for stock options and RSUs combined of 1.1 million and 175.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023, respectively, which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders due to their antidilutive effect. There were no outstanding potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for stock options or RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had 11.3 million and 6.4 million Time-Vesting SARs outstanding, respectively, of which the maximum number of potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock upon vesting would be the fraction that equals the maximum appreciation divided by the Company’s Class A common stock price at that time. No Time-Vesting SARs were outstanding as of December 31, 2023. 13. Segment and Geographic Information The following reporting segment tables reflect the results of the Company’s reportable operating segments consistent with the manner in which the CODM evaluates the performance of each segment and allocates the Company’s resources. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of the Company’s assets on a segment basis for internal management reporting and, therefore, such information is not presented. Contribution is used, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, each of the segments, primarily by monitoring actual results versus historical periods. A segment’s contribution is calculated as segment revenue less the related costs of revenue and sales and marketing expenses. It excludes certain operating expenses that are not allocated to segments because they are separately managed at the consolidated corporate level, or are noncash costs. These unallocated and noncash costs include stock-based compensation expense, research and development expenses, and general and administrative expenses. 112 Table of Contents Palantir Technologies Inc.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were, in design and operation, effective at a reasonable assurance level. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and oversight of the Board of Directors, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on our evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an audit report with respect to our internal control over financial reporting, which is included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
