- Company Overview, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Rackspace Technology, Inc. ("Rackspace Technology") is a Delaware corporation controlled by investment funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Apollo"). Rackspace Technology was formed on July 21, 2016 but had no assets, liabilities or operating results until November 3, 2016 when Rackspace Hosting, Inc. (now named Rackspace Technology Global, Inc., or "Rackspace Technology Global"), a global provider of modern information technology-as-a-service, was acquired by Inception Parent, Inc., a wholly-owned entity indirectly owned by Rackspace Technology (the "Rackspace Acquisition").
Rackspace Technology Global commenced operations in 1998 as a limited partnership and was incorporated in Delaware in March 2000. Rackspace Technology serves as the holding company for Rackspace Technology Global and does not engage in any material business or operations other than those related to its indirect ownership of the capital stock of Rackspace Technology Global and its subsidiaries or business or operations otherwise customarily undertaken by a holding company.
For ease of reference, the terms "we," "our company," "the company," "us," or "our" as used in this report refer to Rackspace Technology and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rackspace Technology, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026, and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain financial information and disclosures required for financial statements prepared under GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") disclosure rules and regulations that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 as filed with the SEC on March 6, 2026 ("Annual Report"). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2026, our results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' deficit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or for any other interim period, or for any other future year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property, equipment and software, software capitalization, incremental borrowing rates for lease liability measurement, fair values of intangible assets and reporting units, useful lives of intangible assets, share-based compensation, contingencies, and income taxes, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Liquidity Overview
We are a highly leveraged company. As of March 31, 2026, we had $2,327.6 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under our debt instruments, which are comprised of the first lien first out senior secured term loan facility (the “FLFO Term Loan Facility”), the first lien second out senior secured term loan facility (the “FLSO Term Loan Facility”), the senior secured first lien term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"),3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes”),5.375% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "5.375% Senior Notes"), and 3.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "3.50% Senior Secured Notes"). We primarily finance our operations and capital expenditures with internally-generated cash from operations and hardware leases, and if necessary, borrowings under the senior secured first lien first out revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). As of March 31, 2026, the Revolving Credit Facility provided for up to $375.0 million of borrowings, $150.0 million of which was drawn and outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Our primary uses of cash are working capital requirements, debt service requirements and capital expenditures. Based on our current level of operations and available cash and cash equivalents of $93.6 million as of March 31, 2026, we believe our sources will provide sufficient liquidity over at least the next twelve months. We cannot provide assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under the Revolving Credit Facility or from other sources in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. Our ability to do so depends on our ability to deliver on our strategic objectives and prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our Annual Report includes an additional discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Measurement of Credit Losses
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update(“ASU”) No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 allows entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

- Customer Contracts
The following table presents the balances related to customer contracts:
| (In millions) | Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets Account | December 31, 2025 | March 31, 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts receivable, net | Accounts receivable, net (1) | $266.5 | $265.8 |
| Current portion of contract assets | Other current assets | $3.8 | $5.3 |
| Non-current portion of contract assets | Other non-current assets | $3.5 | $3.1 |
| Current portion of deferred revenue | Deferred revenue | $94.6 | $130.4 |
| Non-current portion of deferred revenue | Other non-current liabilities | $2.6 | $2.3 |
(1) Allowance for credit losses and accrued customer credits was $12.2 million and $10.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, respectively.
Amounts recognized in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, which were included in deferred revenue as of the beginning of each period totaled $49.6 million and $60.1 million, respectively.
Cost Incurred to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract
As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, the balances of capitalized costs to obtain a contract were $30.8 million and $30.2 million, respectively, and the balances of capitalized costs to fulfill a contract were $16.3 million and $16.7 million, respectively. These capitalized costs are included in "Other non-current assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Amortization of capitalized sales commissions and implementation costs was as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (In millions) | 2025 | 2026 |
| Amortization of capitalized sales commissions | $6.8 | $5.7 |
| Amortization of capitalized implementation costs | $2.3 | $2.6 |
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $575.5 million, of which approximately 39% is expected to be recognized as revenue during the remainder of 2026 and the remainder thereafter. These remaining performance obligations primarily relate to our fixed-term arrangements. The aggregate amount of transaction price excludes variable consideration related to our usage-based arrangements for which we recognize revenue based on the right to invoice for the services performed.
The E.U. Data Act became effective in September 2025 and establishes new requirements related to cloud service switching rights and limits on early termination fees. These provisions will require modifications to our existing E.U. contract terms. We are currently assessing which of our contracts are subject to these requirements. As of March 31, 2026, our existing contractual terms were in place and provide the basis for the remaining performance obligations disclosed above. We expect to revise our contractual terms to comply with the E.U. Data Act in 2026 which could reduce the amount of remaining performance obligations disclosed in future periods.

On February 12, 2024, the accounts receivable purchase agreement was amended to include certain international subsidiaries of the company as parties to the agreement and Rackspace Receivables Canada Limited, a Canadian indirect subsidiary of the company, was established as a SPV.
In connection with accounts receivable sold during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, we recorded $5.0 million and $4.6 million of yield charges and fees, respectively, within “Other expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

The SPVs hold unsold accounts receivable of $65.3 million as of March 31, 2026 that are pledged as collateral to PNC.

- Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic net earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the dilutive effect of potential common share equivalents outstanding during the period as determined under the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (In millions, except per share data) | 2025 | 2026 |
| Basic net earnings (loss) per share: | ||
| Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders | $(71.5) | $8.3 |
| Weighted average shares outstanding: | ||
| Common stock | 231.9 | 246.3 |

| Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders | $(71.5) | $8.3 |
| Weighted average shares outstanding: | ||
| Common stock | 231.9 | 246.3 |
| Effect of dilutive securities | — | 3.4 |
| Number of shares used in per share computations | 231.9 | 249.7 |
| Net earnings (loss) per share | $(0.31) | $0.03 |
Potential common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock or purchase under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), as well as contingent shares associated with our acquisition of Datapipe Parent, Inc. We excluded 19.4 million and 13.8 million potential common shares from the computation of dilutive earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

- Commitments and Contingencies
We have contingencies that arise from various litigation, claims and commitments, none of which we consider to be material.
From time to time, we may be party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, third parties may bring intellectual property claims against us asserting that certain of our offerings, services and technologies infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate the intellectual property or proprietary rights of others. Adverse results in these lawsuits may include awards of substantial monetary damages, costly royalty or licensing agreements, or orders preventing us from offering certain features, products, or services, and may also cause us to change our business practices and require development of non-infringing products or technologies, which could result in a loss of revenue for us or otherwise harm our business.
We record an accrual for a loss contingency when a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable. As additional facts concerning a loss contingency become known, we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to a recorded accrual. The amount that will ultimately be paid related to a matter may differ from the recorded accrual, and the timing of such payments, if any, may be uncertain.
We are not a party to any litigation, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.

- Share-Based Compensation
2020 Incentive Plan
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we granted 1.3 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Rackspace Technology, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Incentive Plan”) with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $2.19. The majority of the RSUs were granted as part of our promotion and recruitment process and vest ratably over athree-year period, subject to continued service.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
Total share-based compensation expense is comprised of the following equity and liability classified award amounts:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (In millions) | 2025 | 2026 |
| Equity classified awards | $7.6 | $3.8 |
| Liability classified awards | 4.4 | 2.8 |
| Total share-based compensation expense | $12.0 | $6.6 |
Total share-based compensation expense recognizedwas as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (In millions) | 2025 | 2026 |
| Cost of revenue | $1.8 | $0.9 |
| Selling, general and administrative expenses | 10.2 | 5.7 |
| Pre-tax share-based compensation expense | 12.0 | 6.6 |
| Less: Income tax benefit | (2.5) | (1.4) |
| Total share-based compensation expense, net of tax | $9.5 | $5.2 |
As of March 31, 2026, there was $22.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs, performance stock units, stock options, and the ESPP, which will be recognized using the service period or over our best estimate of the period over which the performance condition will be met, as applicable. Additionally, as of March 31, 2026 there was $7.2 million of total unrecognized expense related to long-term incentive cash awards, which will be recognized over the remaining service period. The expense ultimately recognized is dependent on the fair value of the award as of the end of the performance periods.
- Taxes
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax and various state, local, and international income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. The differences between our effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% generally result from various factors, including the geographical distribution of taxable income, contingency reserves for uncertain tax positions, and permanent differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items. Additionally, the amount of income taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the tax impact associated with changes in valuation allowance, executive compensation that is nondeductible under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 162(m), and the net impact of the geographic distribution of our earnings.

- Derivatives
We utilize derivative instruments, including interest rate swap agreements, to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. We only hold such instruments for economic hedging purposes, not for speculative or trading purposes. Our derivative instruments are transacted only with highly-rated institutions, which reduces our exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance.
Interest Rate Swaps
We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates on the floating-rate Term Loan Facility, FLSO Term Loan Facility, and FLFO Term Loan Facility. The objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
On February 9, 2021, we entered into a $1.35 billion pay-fixed interest rate swap that matured in February 2026. The pay-fixed interest rate swap qualified as a hybrid instrument in accordance with ASC No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging, consisting of a loan and an embedded at-market derivative that was designated as a cash flow hedge. The loan was accounted for at amortized cost over the life of the swap while the embedded at-market derivative was accounted for at fair value. The $1.35 billion swap was indexed to one-month Term SOFR and net settled on a monthly basis with the counterparty for the difference between the fixed rate of 2.34150% and the variable rate based uponone-month Term SOFR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) as applied to the notional amount of the swap. The cash flows related to the portion treated as debt was classified as financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows while the portion treated as an at-market derivative was classified as operating activities.
Our interest rate swap agreement, excluding the portion treated as debt, was recognized at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and was valued using pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curve data, which are classified as Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.
As of December 31, 2025 the cash flow hedge was highly effective. Our interest rate swap matured on February 9, 2026. Therefore, as of March 31, 2026, we do not have any interest rate swaps outstanding.

- Segment Reporting
We have organized our operations intotwo operating segments, which correspond directly to our reportable segments: Public Cloud, a services-centric, capital-light model providing value-added cloud solutions through managed services, Elastic Engineering and professional services offerings for customer environments hosted on the Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud public cloud platforms; and Private Cloud, a technology-forward, capital-intensive model providing managed service offerings for customer environments hosted in one of our data centers as well as in those owned by customers or by third parties such as colocation providers.
Thistwo-business unit operating model allows for each segment to be managed separately based on the different service offerings and respective operational and marketing strategies, ensuring increased focus, delivery, and service quality for our customers.
Our segments are based upon a number of factors, including, the basis for our budgets and forecasts, organizational and management structure and the financial information regularly provided to our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who we have determined to be our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM is responsible for making key operating and strategic decisions to assess performance for each segment. We assess financial performance of our segments on the basis of revenue and segment operating profit. The CODM utilizes both revenue and segment operating profit or loss before interest and income taxes to allocate resources and assesses performance of each segment by comparing actual revenue and operating profit or loss results, respectively, to historical results and previously forecasted financial information. Segment operating profit includes expenses directly attributable to running the respective segments' business. This excludes any corporate overhead expenses. We have centralized corporate functions that provide services to the segments in areas such as accounting, information technology, marketing, legal and human resources. Corporate function costs that are not allocated to the segments are included in the row labeled "Corporate functions" in the table below.
