NOTE 18. WORKFORCE REBALANCING AND SITE-RATIONALIZATION CHARGES

On May 5, 2026, the Company approved, as part of its ongoing efforts to further streamline operations, workforce rebalancing actions to optimize and support the Company’s financial and operational efficiency in fiscal year 2027. As a result of these actions, the Company expects to incur workforce rebalancing charges of approximately $200 million, primarily consisting of future cash expenditures for severance and related benefits. Management expects that such workforce rebalancing efforts, once completed, will reduce operating expense in fiscal year 2028. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its expected costs savings.

The Company will continue to seek opportunities to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs, which may result in additional charges in future periods.

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company initiated actions to reduce our overall cost structure and increase our operating efficiency which continued through the end of the fiscal year 2026. These actions resulted in workforce rebalancing charges (the “Fiscal 2026 Program”) of approximately $60 million.

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company initiated actions to reduce our overall cost structure and increase our operating efficiency which continued through the end of the 2025 fiscal year. These actions resulted in workforce rebalancing charges and charges related to ceasing to use leased and owned fixed assets (collectively, the “Fiscal 2025 Program”). The total charges incurred related to the Fiscal 2025 Program were $162 million, consisting of $114 million in workforce rebalancing charges and $48 million in charges related to ceasing to use leased and owned

fixed assets. The Company expects that these actions will reduce future payroll costs, rent expenses and depreciation of property and equipment.

During the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company initiated actions to reduce our overall cost structure and increase our operating efficiency, which continued through the year ended March 31, 2024. These actions resulted in workforce rebalancing charges, charges related to ceasing to use leased and owned fixed assets, and lease termination charges (collectively, the “Fiscal 2024 Program”). The total charges incurred related to the Fiscal 2024 Program were $310 million, consisting of approximately 60% for workforce rebalancing charges and approximately 40% for charges related to ceasing to use leased and owned fixed assets and lease termination charges. The Company expects that these actions will reduce future payroll costs, rent expenses and depreciation of property and equipment.

The following table presents the segment breakout of charges incurred during the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024.

*Effective June 1, 2024, the Company made a minor change to its geographic reportable segments to reflect how it manages its operations and measures business performance, transitioning the reporting and management of its operations in Australia/New Zealand from the Principal Markets segment to the Strategic Markets segment.
