  • 5 filing risk checks flagged

    Flagged areas: Earnings quality, Solvency & liquidity, Dilution.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Revenue expanded

    Latest reported annual revenue changed +25.9% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2026-01-31.

  • Operating margin improved

    Operating margin changed +16.6 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2026-01-31.

  • Free cash flow turned positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $58M.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2026-01-31.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their respective fair values. The following table sets forth the Companys financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis for recognition or disclosure purposes as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026 by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Income taxes · 1,822 characters as filed

Income Taxes During the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $ 1.0 million and $ 0.9 million of income tax expense, respectively. For the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, the income tax expense was primarily driven by the current tax on foreign earnings. The effective tax rates for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the valuation allowance on the majority of the Companys U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets and foreign rate differences. The Company evaluates its tax positions on a quarterly basis and revises its estimates accordingly. Gross unrecognized tax benefits were $ 15.1 million and $ 13.8 million as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026 , respectively. The gross unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would not affect the effective tax rate due to the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. The Company determined that no accrual for interest and penalties was required as of April 30, 2026 and $ 0.3 million was accrued for interest as of January 31, 2026. The Company does not anticipate the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months. The Company files U.S. federal, various state and foreign income tax returns. The Company is currently being audited by the IRS for the tax year ended January 31, 2024.

Operating results for the three months ended April 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027 or any other future period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of Planet Labs PBC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Companys fiscal year end is January 31. Certain notes or other information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Companys annual audited consolidated financial statements.
