Business-activity disclosure
GoDaddy provides domain registration, hosting, applications and commerce tools. Core infrastructure services can be permissible, but hosted content, customer use and application/commerce activity require qualitative review.
Limitation: The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-content or prohibited-revenue numerator and does not separately disclose gross interest income.
Purification
GoDaddy does not separately disclose gross interest income or a complete prohibited-activity numerator; ZakatInvest does not invent a purification percentage.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from GoDaddy's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Interest-bearing debt is $15.1 million of current long-term debt plus $3,762.5 million of long-term debt, net of current portion; operating lease liabilities are excluded.
- Cash and cash equivalents are $1,261.7 million. Registry deposits and prepaid registry fees are not added to liquidity.
- Accounts and other receivables are $85.3 million.
- Revenue is $1,266.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The filing reports interest expense net of interest income but does not separately disclose gross interest income.
- Domain registration, hosting, applications and commerce activities are not reduced to a universal prohibited-revenue numerator.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
