Where can I find the actual financial results for Palo Alto Networks' second quarter?

The actual financial results for the second quarter ended January 31, 2026, are detailed in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing. You should refer to that press release for specific revenue, earnings, and other financial performance metrics.

What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' rather than 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' in an 8-K, it means the company is providing it to the SEC and the public but is not subject to the same liabilities under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as if it were 'filed'. This is a common practice for press releases announcing financial results. The information is still important for investors but has a different legal standing.

Does this 8-K filing provide any forward-looking guidance or commentary?

This 8-K filing itself primarily serves to announce the release of the financial results via a press release. Any guidance, outlook, or management commentary will be contained within the furnished press release (Exhibit 99.1). Investors should carefully review that press release for any forward-looking statements or management's perspective on future performance.

What is an Inline XBRL file, and why is it included?

Inline XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a method of tagging financial data within an HTML document, making it both human-readable and machine-readable. Exhibit 104, the Cover Page Interactive Data File, is provided in this format to facilitate easier analysis and data extraction of the filing's key information by investors and data providers.
