Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Non-cash adjustment to legal settlement expense

On Wednesday, May 28, 2014, Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting its fiscal third quarter financial results and announcing its settlement of litigation with Juniper Networks, Inc. (“Juniper Networks”). As reported in the Company’s press release and disclosed in the Settlement, Release and Cross-License Agreement, the terms of the settlement of litigation with Juniper Networks, which have not changed in any respect, provide that the Company will pay Juniper Networks a one-time settlement amount of approximately $175 million, consisting of $75 million in cash, 1,080,747 shares (approximately $70 million) of common stock and a warrant to purchase 463,177 shares (approximately $30 million) of common stock.

In the press release, the Company reported legal settlement expenses of $113.7 million. However, the Company is required to measure the consideration associated with the equity component of the settlement at its fair value on the date of settlement using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on Tuesday, May 27, 2014. The effect of the fair value measurement is a non-cash increase of $7.5 million to legal settlement expense in the Company’s GAAP financial results. This non-cash adjustment does not impact the Company’s non-GAAP financial results. There have been no changes to the cash, the number of shares of common stock, or the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrant that the Company has agreed to pay to Juniper Networks pursuant to the settlement.
