Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Juniper Networks, Inc. (the “Company” or “Juniper”) were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any future period. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Form 10-K"). The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. The preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material impact to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. HPE Merger Agreement On January 9, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, a Delaware corporation (“HPE”), and Jasmine Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of HPE (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of HPE. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company's common stock (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive $40.00 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes. The Merger Agreement generally requires the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Company's business in the ordinary course, subject to certain exceptions including as required by applicable law, pending consummation of the Merger, and subjects the Company to customary interim operating covenants that restrict the Company from taking certain specified actions without HPE’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) until the Merger is completed or the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. During this period, the Company is permitted to continue paying regular quarterly dividends, substantially in accordance with past practice, at a quarterly rate not to exceed $0.22 per share. The completion of the Merger, which is currently expected to close in late calendar year 2024 or early calendar year 2025, is subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. On April 2, 2024, the Company received approval of the Merger Agreement from its stockholders. If the transaction is consummated, the Company's common stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Merger Agreement can be terminated under certain customary circumstances, including by mutual agreement, the imposition of a final and non-appealable governmental order that permanently enjoins or otherwise prohibits the Merger, an uncured breach of the Merger Agreement by the other party, or if the Merger has not been consummated by January 9, 2025, as may be automatically extended pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Under certain specified circumstances in which the Merger Agreement is terminated, the Company is required to pay HPE a termination fee equal to $407.5 million, and under certain other specified circumstances in which the Merger Agreement is terminated, HPE is required to pay the Company a termination fee equal to $815.0 million. In connection with the pending Merger, the Company incurred $28.3 million of expenses for the period ended March 31, 2024, including professional services and financial advisory fees, all of which were recorded within "Merger-related charges" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
