NETAPP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

NetApp, Inc. (NetApp, we, us, our, or the Company) empowers organizations to realize the full potential of their data in a rapidly evolving digital world. NetApp delivers innovative solutions that enable seamless data management, protection, and mobility across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

Our fiscal year is reported on a 52- or 53-week year ending on the last Friday in April. An additional week is included in the first fiscal quarter approximately every six years to realign fiscal months with calendar months. Fiscal 2027, ending on April 30, 2027, is a 53-week year, with 14 weeks included in its first quarter and 13 weeks in each subsequent quarter. Fiscal 2026, which ended on April 24, 2026, was a 52-week year, with 13 weeks in each quarter.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended April 24, 2026 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, reserves and allowances; inventory valuation; valuation of goodwill and intangibles; restructuring reserves; employee benefit accruals; stock-based compensation; loss contingencies; investment impairments; income taxes and fair value measurements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, the anticipated effects of which have been incorporated, as applicable, into management's estimates as of July 31, 2026.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU simplifies the capitalization guidance by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout ASC 350-40. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this ASU can be applied prospectively; or following a modified transition approach that is based on the status of each project and whether software costs were capitalized before adoption; or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our disclosures.

3. Business Combination

DataPelago, Inc. Acquisition

On July 16, 2026, we acquired all the outstanding shares of DataPelago, Inc., (DataPelago), a privately-held company, for $193 million, of which $87 million was paid in cash at closing. The remaining $106 million represents contingent consideration, which we recognized in accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and which will be paid if certain criteria as defined in the merger agreement are achieved. DataPelago is an AI data infrastructure company recognized for its innovative approach to eliminate data processing bottlenecks for AI and analytics workloads.

The acquired net assets of DataPelago were recorded at their estimated values, which we determined with the assistance of valuations performed by third party specialists. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of a developed technology intangible asset with an estimated useful life of five years. We expect to realize revenue synergies and anticipate future opportunities for growth through the ability to leverage additional future products and capabilities. These factors, among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated value of the identifiable net assets acquired, and as a result, we have recorded goodwill in connection with the acquisition. This goodwill has been allocated between our Hybrid Cloud and Public Cloud reporting units, and it is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities assumed becomes available during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Similarly, the allocation of goodwill among our reporting units is subject to revision.

The results of operations related to the acquisition of DataPelago have been included in our condensed consolidated statements of income from the acquisition date. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the impact from the acquisition was not material to our consolidated results of operations.

Deferred revenue:

Deferred revenue represents unrecognized revenue related to undelivered product commitments and other product deliveries that have not met all revenue recognition criteria, as well as customer payments made in advance for services, which include software and hardware support contracts, certain public cloud services and other services.

During the three months ended July 31, 2026 and July 25, 2025, we recognized revenue of $743 million and $714 million, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the respective periods.

Remaining performance obligations

As of July 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to customer contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $5.6 billion. Because customer orders are typically placed on an as-needed basis, and cancellable without penalty prior to shipment, orders in backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future revenue and have not been included in this amount. We expect to recognize as revenue 44% of our remaining performance obligations in the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

6. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis, whereby the inputs used in valuation techniques are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the three levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in less active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
 

We consider an active market to be one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and consider an inactive market to be one in which there are infrequent or few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers. Where appropriate, our own or the counterparty’s non-performance risk is considered in measuring the fair values of liabilities and assets, respectively.

Investments

Our contingent consideration liability is related to the acquisition of DataPelago and was valued using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. See Note 3 – Business Combination for further details of the acquisition and contingent consideration.

Fair Value of Debt

As of July 31, 2026 and April 24, 2026, the fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was $2,443 million and $2,468 million, respectively. These fair values of our long-term debt were based on observable market prices in a less active market.

Senior Notes

Our Senior Notes, which are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, rank equally in right of payment with any existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. Interest on our Senior Notes is payable semi-annually.

We may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part, at any time at our option at specified redemption prices. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, we may be required to repurchase the Senior Notes under specified terms. The Senior Notes also include covenants that limit our ability to incur debt secured by liens on assets or on shares of stock or indebtedness of our subsidiaries; to engage in certain sale and lease-back transactions; and to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. As of July 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants associated with the Senior Notes.

Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program

We have a senior unsecured credit agreement with a syndicated group of lenders. The credit agreement, which was amended in March 2025, provides for a $1.0 billion revolving unsecured credit facility, with a sublimit of $50 million available for the issuance of letters of credit on our behalf. The credit facility matures on March 5, 2030, with an option for us to extend the maturity date for two additional 1-year periods, subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the loans may be used by us for general corporate purposes and as liquidity support for our existing commercial paper program. As of July 31, 2026, we were compliant with all associated covenants in the agreement. No amounts were drawn against this credit facility during any of the periods presented.

We also have a commercial paper program (the “Program”), under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. Amounts available under the Program, as amended in July 2017, may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate face or principal amount of the notes outstanding under the Program at any time not to exceed $1.0 billion. The maturities of the notes can vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and may be issued at a discount from par or, alternatively, may be sold at par and bear interest at rates dictated by market conditions at the time of their issuance. The proceeds from the issuance of the notes are used for general corporate purposes. There were no commercial paper notes outstanding as of July 31, 2026 or April 24, 2026.

 

8. Stockholders’ Equity

Equity Awards

We granted 3 million restricted stock units (RSUs), including performance-based RSUs (PBRSUs), with a weighted average grant date fair value of $153.44 per share during the three months ended July 31, 2026. As of July 31, 2026, total unrecognized compensation expense related to our equity awards was $918 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average remaining service period of 2.4 years.

Stock Repurchase Program

 

Under our common stock repurchase program, which we may suspend or discontinue at any time, we may purchase shares of our outstanding common stock through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or in such other manner as deemed appropriate by our management.

The timing and amount of future dividends will depend on market conditions, corporate business and financial considerations and regulatory requirements. All dividends declared have been determined by the Company to be legally authorized under the laws of the state in which we are incorporated.

9. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We use derivative instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency risk. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The maximum length of time over which forecasted foreign currency denominated revenues are hedged is 12 months. The program is not designated for trading or speculative purposes. Our derivatives expose us to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet their obligations under the terms of our agreements. We seek to mitigate such risk by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. We also have in place master netting arrangements to mitigate the credit risk of our counterparties and to potentially reduce our losses due to counterparty nonperformance. We present our derivative instruments as net amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The gross and net fair value amounts of such instruments were not material as of July 31, 2026 or April 24, 2026. All contracts have a maturity of less than 12 months.

The notional amount of our outstanding U.S. dollar equivalent foreign currency exchange forward contracts consisted of the following (in millions):

10. Restructuring Charges

In the first three months of fiscal 2027, management approved a restructuring plan to redirect resources to the highest return activities and reduce costs. Charges related to the plan consisted primarily of employee severance-related costs. The activities under the plan are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2027.

Activities related to our restructuring plans are summarized as follows (in millions):

Effective tax rates

 

 

22.5

Our effective tax rate reflects the impact of a significant amount of earnings being taxed in foreign jurisdictions at rates below the United States (U.S.) statutory rate which is offset by non-deductible stock-based compensation and state taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2026 includes an increase in discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.

On July 4, 2025, the reconciliation bill H.R. 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), was signed into law in the United States. The OBBB contains several changes to corporate taxation including the extension of key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and modifications to the international tax framework. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in our fiscal 2026 and others phased in through our fiscal 2027. The OBBB did not have a material impact to our income tax provision for the three months ended July 31, 2026.

 

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) introduced an international tax framework under Pillar Two that provides for a global minimum tax of 15% for large multinational companies. We are currently subject to Pillar Two rules enacted in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. As of July 31, 2026, Pillar Two taxes did not have a significant impact on our financial statements, particularly due to the safe harbor relief during the transition period. On January 5, 2026, the OECD issued administrative guidance outlining a framework under which U.S.-parented groups may be excluded from the application of Pillar Two rules through a “side-by-side arrangement.” Each member jurisdiction will need to adopt this guidance into local law, and the timing and manner of adoption may vary. We will continue to monitor U.S. and international legislative developments, including further announcements on the side-by-side arrangement, to assess any potential impacts to our financial statements.

We are currently undergoing various income tax audits in the U.S. and audits in several foreign tax jurisdictions. Transfer pricing calculations are key topics under these audits and are often subject to dispute and appeals.

We continue to monitor the progress of ongoing discussions with tax authorities and the impact, if any, of the expected expiration of the statute of limitations in various taxing jurisdictions. We engage in continuous discussion and negotiation with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in multiple jurisdictions.

13. Segment, Geographic, and Significant Customer Information

Our operations are organized into two segments: Hybrid Cloud and Public Cloud. The two segments are based on the information reviewed by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate results and allocate resources. The CODM measures performance of each segment based on segment revenue and segment gross profit by comparing actual revenue and gross profit results to historical results and previously forecasted financial information. We do not allocate to our

16


 

segments certain cost of revenues which we manage at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. We do not allocate assets to our segments.

Hybrid Cloud offers a unified data storage portfolio of storage management and infrastructure solutions that helps customers modernize their data centers. This portfolio accommodates both structured and unstructured data with unified storage optimized for flash, disk, and cloud storage, capable of handling data-intensive workloads and applications. Hybrid Cloud includes software, hardware, and related support, along with professional and other services.

Public Cloud offers a portfolio of products delivered primarily as-a-service, including related support. This portfolio includes cloud storage, data services, and operational services. Public Cloud includes certain reseller arrangements in which the timing of our consideration follows the end user consumption of the reseller services.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Orders and Other Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to third-party contract manufacturers and component suppliers to manage manufacturer lead times and meet product forecasts, and to other parties, to purchase various key components used in the manufacture of our products. A significant portion of our reported purchase commitments arising from these agreements consist of firm, non-cancelable, and unconditional commitments. As of July 31, 2026, we had $1.9 billion in non-cancelable purchase commitments for inventory.

In addition to inventory commitments with contract manufacturers and component suppliers, we have open purchase orders and contractual obligations associated with our ordinary course of business for which we have not yet received goods or services. As of July 31, 2026, we had $0.4 billion in other purchase obligations.

Of the total $2.3 billion in purchase commitments, $2.1 billion is due in the next twelve months, with the remainder due thereafter.

Legal Contingencies

When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, we record a liability in the amount of our best estimate for the ultimate loss. However, the likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on the information available and the potential effect of future events and decisions by third parties that will determine the ultimate resolution of the contingency.

18


 

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. We may, from time to time, receive claims that we are infringing third parties’ intellectual property rights, including claims for alleged patent infringement brought by non-practicing entities. We are currently involved in patent litigation brought by non-practicing entities and other third parties. We believe we have strong arguments that our products do not infringe and/or the asserted patents are invalid, and we intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs’ claims. However, there is no guarantee that we will prevail at trial and if a jury were to find that our products infringe, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages, and may cause product shipment delays or stoppages, require us to redesign our products, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.

Although management at present believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or overall trends, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could include significant monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which injunctive relief or other conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and overall trends. No material accrual has been recorded as of July 31, 2026 related to such matters.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

This section and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties.

Overview

Our Company

NetApp is a global leader in intelligent data infrastructure, empowering organizations to realize the full potential of their data in a rapidly evolving digital world. Headquartered in San Jose, California, and serving customers in approximately 150 countries, NetApp delivers innovative solutions that enable seamless data management, protection, and mobility across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.

Our flagship ONTAP® data management software, together with a comprehensive portfolio of all-flash, hybrid-flash, and cloud-native offerings, forms the foundation for customers’ digital transformation initiatives. NetApp’s deep integration with all major public cloud providers—Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud—enables our customers to run critical workloads anywhere, with consistent performance, security, and governance.

NetApp's strategic focus is on modernizing data infrastructure, enabling resilient and secure operations, optimizing cloud strategies, and accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. Our portfolio includes advanced AI-ready infrastructure, Storage-as-a-Service (Keystone), and robust cyber resilience solutions, and we continue to invest in innovation. Our partnerships with leading technology companies and a global ecosystem of channel partners further extend our reach and solution capabilities.

Our operations are organized into two segments: Hybrid Cloud and Public Cloud.

Hybrid Cloud offers a unified data storage portfolio of storage management and infrastructure solutions that helps customers modernize their data centers. Our Hybrid Cloud portfolio accommodates both structured and unstructured data with unified storage optimized for flash, disk, and cloud storage, capable of handling data-intensive workloads and applications. Hybrid Cloud includes software, hardware, and related support, along with professional and other services.

Public Cloud offers a portfolio of products delivered primarily as-a-service, including related support. This portfolio includes cloud storage, data services, and operational services. These services are generally available on the leading public clouds, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

Global Business Environment

Supply Chain

Inflationary pressures and global supply chain constraints continued to impact our operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2027. We have experienced increased costs for memory and other components, which have affected our gross margins, and we expect costs will remain elevated, or continue to increase, in the near term. Additionally, the tight supply environment for specific products, which is anticipated to persist, could pose challenges in meeting customer demand for those products.

To address these challenges, we have implemented several strategic actions:

We raised our pricing in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2027, in line with market trends. We expect to continue adjusting prices as necessary to offset rising costs and remain aligned with the market. While we aim to match supplier costs with our pricing to customers, we recognize the need to give customers time to adjust to these changes.
We are leveraging our relationships with multiple suppliers where available to enable component availability and manage costs effectively. This strategy helps us maintain competitive positions in the market from a pricing standpoint. Our history of successful supplier management positions us well to navigate these challenges.
We continue to offer a wide range of solutions to meet various customer needs and priorities. This includes competitive storage options, all-flash solutions, hybrid-flash solutions, public cloud solutions, and our Keystone Storage-as-a-Service offering. By providing diverse options, we aim to align with our customers’ budget priorities and deliver the best value offerings.

 

These actions are part of our ongoing efforts to mitigate the impact of inflation and supply chain constraints on our operating results. We will continue to monitor these trends and uncertainties and adjust our strategies as needed to maintain our financial performance.

Stock Repurchase Program and Dividend Activity

During the first three months of fiscal 2027, we repurchased 1.5 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $133.32 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $200 million. We also declared aggregate cash dividends of $0.52 per share in that period, for which we paid $102 million.

Acquisition

On July 16, 2026, we acquired all the outstanding shares of DataPelago, Inc., a privately-held company recognized for its innovative approach to eliminate data processing bottlenecks for AI and analytics workloads, for $193 million. Of this amount, $87 million was paid in cash at closing, and the remainder will be paid in a future period if certain criteria as defined in the merger agreement are achieved.

Restructuring Event

In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we executed a restructuring plan to redirect resources to highest return activities and reduce costs. Aggregate restructuring charges recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 totaled $56 million.

Results of Operations

Our fiscal year is reported on a 52- or 53-week year that ends on the last Friday in April. An additional week is included in the first fiscal quarter approximately every six years to realign fiscal months with calendar months. Fiscal 2027, ending on April 30, 2027, is a 53-week year, with 14 weeks included in its first quarter and 13 weeks in each subsequent quarter. Fiscal 2026, which ended on April 24, 2026, was a 52-week year, with 13 weeks in each quarter. Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years, quarters, months and periods refer to our fiscal years ended in April and the associated quarters, months and periods of those fiscal years.

The increase in net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year was driven by higher product revenues and, to a lesser extent, an increase in services revenues. The extra week in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 contributed approximately $65 million of additional services revenues to that period. Product revenues as a percentage of net revenues increased by seven percentage points in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2026.

Product revenues are derived through the sale of our Hybrid Cloud solutions and consist of sales of configured all-flash array systems (including AFF A-Series and AFF C-Series with capacity flash) and hybrid systems (including FAS), which are bundled hardware and software products, as well as add-on flash, disk and/or hybrid storage and related OS, StorageGrid, OEM products, and add-on optional software.

Total product revenues increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to higher revenues from sales of all-flash array systems, supported by the price increases we implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.

Hybrid Cloud services revenues are derived from the sale of: (1) support, which includes both hardware and software support contracts (the latter of which entitle customers to receive unspecified product upgrades and enhancements, bug fixes and patch releases), and (2) professional and other services, which include customer education and training.

Support revenues increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to an additional week in the current year period, which contributed approximately $50 million of additional revenues and, to a lesser extent, a higher aggregate support contract value for our installed base.

Professional and other services revenues increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to an increase in revenues from our Keystone storage-as-a-service offering.

Public Cloud

Public Cloud revenues are derived from the sale of public cloud offerings delivered primarily as-a-service, which include cloud storage, data services and operational services.

Public Cloud revenues increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due to higher customer demand driven by overall growth in the cloud market, and an additional week in the period, which contributed approximately $15 million of additional revenues.

Sales to United States (U.S.) public sector markets includes revenue from the U.S. federal government and U.S. state governments, local municipalities and education institutions. While revenues attributable to all geographies increased on a dollar basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the prior-year period, APAC and EMEA revenues grew at a higher rate than Americas revenues (primarily due to slower Americas Commercial growth), resulting in a minor shift in geographical revenue mix.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues consists of:

(1) cost of product revenues, composed of (a) cost of Hybrid Cloud product revenues, which includes the costs of manufacturing and shipping our products, inventory write-downs, and warranty costs, and (b) unallocated cost of product revenues, which includes stock-based compensation, and;

(2) cost of services revenues, composed of (a) cost of support revenues, which includes the costs of providing support activities for hardware and software support, global support partnership programs, and third-party royalty costs, (b) cost of professional and other services revenues, constituting the cost of delivering such services which includes depreciation expense, (c) cost of public cloud revenues, constituting the cost of providing our Public Cloud offerings, which includes depreciation and amortization expense and third-party datacenter fees, and (d) unallocated cost of services revenues, which includes stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing, Research and Development and General and Administrative Expenses

Sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 totaled $879 million, or 43% of net revenues, reflecting a decrease of seven percentage points, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to the increase in net revenues.

Compensation costs represent the largest component of operating expenses. Included in compensation costs are salaries, benefits, other compensation-related costs, stock-based compensation expense and employee incentive compensation plan costs.

Total compensation costs included in sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses increased by $75 million, or 15%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily attributable to higher incentive compensation expense and the impact of one additional week in the first quarter of fiscal 2027.

The extra week in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 contributed approximately $22 million of additional sales and marketing, research and development and general administrative expenses in that period.

Cash Flows

As of July 31, 2026, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $3.6 billion, relatively flat compared to April 24, 2026. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we used $200 million for the repurchase of our common stock, $102 million for the payment of dividends, $102 million for purchases of property and equipment, and $78 million, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of DataPelago Inc., partially offset by $503 million provided by operating activities. Our working capital was $1.1 billion as of July 31, 2026, a decrease of $651 million compared to April 24, 2026, primarily due to the reclassification of $550 million principal amount of our 2.375% Senior Notes due in June 2027 from long-term to current liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2027.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the first three months of fiscal 2027, cash provided by operating activities reflected net income of $375 million which was increased for non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $33 million and non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $98 million. During the first three months of fiscal 2026, cash provided by operating activities reflected net income of $233 million which was increased for non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $51 million and non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $83 million.

27


 

Significant changes in assets and liabilities in the first three months of fiscal 2027 included the following:

Accounts receivable decreased by $317 million, primarily reflecting more favorable invoicing linearity in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
Inventories increased by $176 million, primarily due to higher strategic purchases of components and an increase in finished goods to fulfill customer demand.

We expect that cash provided by operating activities may materially fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors, including fluctuations in our operating results, shipping linearity, accounts receivable collections performance, inventory and supply chain management, vendor payment initiatives, and the timing and amount of compensation, income taxes and other payments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the first three months of fiscal 2027, we used $494 million for purchases of investments, net of maturities and sales, and paid $102 million for capital expenditures, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2026, in which we used $143 million for purchases of investments, net of maturities and sales, and paid $53 million for capital expenditures. Additionally, during the first three months of fiscal 2027, we paid $78 million, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of DataPelago, Inc.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the first three months of fiscal 2027, we used $200 million for the repurchase of 1.5 million shares of common stock, and $102 million for the payment of dividends. During the first three months of fiscal 2026, we used $750 million for the principal repayment upon maturity of our 1.875% Senior Notes due in June 2025, $300 million for the repurchase of 3.0 million shares of common stock and $104 million for the payment of dividends.

Key factors that could affect our cash flows include changes in our revenue mix and profitability, our ability to effectively manage our working capital, in particular, accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventories, the timing and amount of stock repurchases and payment of cash dividends, the impact of foreign exchange rate changes, our ability to effectively integrate acquired products, businesses and technologies and the timing of repayments of our debt. Based on past performance and our current business outlook, we believe that our sources of liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, cash generated from operations, and our ability to access capital markets and committed credit lines will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures, investment requirements, stock repurchases, cash dividends, contractual obligations, commitments, principal and interest payments on our debt and other liquidity requirements associated with operations and meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. We may choose to periodically raise additional debt capital based on certain conditions, including the refinancing of upcoming maturities and/or for potential strategic acquisitions and investments. Our ability to obtain this, or any additional financing that we may pursue or need, will depend on, among other things, our business plans, operating performance and the condition of the capital markets at the time we seek financing. We may not be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. In the event our liquidity is insufficient and we are unable to enter into new financing arrangements, we may be required to curtail spending and implement additional cost saving measures and restructuring actions. We cannot be certain that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels. For a discussion of risks related to our cash flows and liquidity requirements, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our principal sources of liquidity as of July 31, 2026 consisted of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, cash we expect to generate from operations, and our credit facility and commercial paper program.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consisted of the following (in millions):

Our principal liquidity requirements are primarily to meet our working capital needs, support ongoing business activities, fund research and development, meet capital expenditure needs, invest in critical or complementary technologies through asset purchases and/or business acquisitions, service interest and principal payments on our debt, fund our stock repurchase program, and pay dividends, as and if declared. In the ordinary course of business, we engage in periodic reviews of opportunities to invest in or acquire companies or units in companies to expand our total addressable market, leverage technological synergies and establish new streams of revenue.

The principal objectives of our investment policy are the preservation of principal and maintenance of liquidity. We attempt to mitigate default risk by investing in high-quality investment grade securities, limiting the time to maturity and monitoring the counterparties and underlying obligors closely. We believe our cash equivalents and short-term investments are liquid and accessible. We are not aware of any significant deterioration in the fair value of our cash equivalents or investments from the values reported as of July 31, 2026.

Our investment portfolio has been and will continue to be exposed to market risk due to trends in the credit and capital markets. We continue to closely monitor current economic and market events to minimize the market risk of our investment portfolio. We routinely monitor our financial exposure to both sovereign and non-sovereign borrowers and counterparties. We utilize a variety of planning and financing strategies in an effort to ensure our worldwide cash is available when and where it is needed. We also have an automatic shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We may in the future offer an additional unspecified amount of debt, equity and other securities.

Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually. For further information on the underlying terms, see Note 7 – Financing Arrangements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.

Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program

We have a senior unsecured credit agreement with a syndicated group of lenders. The credit agreement, which was amended in March 2025, provides for a $1.0 billion revolving unsecured credit facility, with a sublimit of $50 million available for the issuance of letters of credit on our behalf. The credit facility matures on March 5, 2030, with an option for us to extend the maturity date for two additional 1-year periods, subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the loans may be used by us for general corporate purposes and as liquidity support for our existing commercial paper program. As of July 31, 2026, we were compliant with all associated covenants in the agreement. No amounts were drawn against this credit facility during any of the periods presented.

We also have a commercial paper program (the “Program”), under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. Amounts available under the Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate face or principal amount of the notes outstanding under the Program at any time not to exceed $1.0 billion. The maturities of the notes can vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and may be issued at a discount from par or, alternatively, may be sold at par and bear interest at rates dictated by market conditions at the time of their issuance. The proceeds from the issuance of the notes are used for general corporate purposes. No commercial paper notes were outstanding as of July 31, 2026.

Material Capital Expenditure Requirements

We expect to fund our capital expenditures, including our commitments related to facilities, equipment, operating leases and internal-use software development projects for at least the next 12 months through existing cash, cash equivalents, investments and cash generated from operations. The timing and amount of our capital requirements cannot be precisely determined and will depend on a number of factors, including future demand for products, changes in the enterprise storage and data management industry, hiring plans and our decisions related to the financing of our facilities and equipment requirements.

Dividends and Stock Repurchase Program

On August 27, 2026, we declared a cash dividend of $0.52 per share of common stock, payable on October 28, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 9, 2026.

Under our common stock repurchase program, which we may suspend or discontinue at any time, we may purchase shares of our outstanding common stock through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or in such other manner as deemed appropriate by our management. On May 21, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $1.0 billion of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. As of July 31, 2026, the remaining authorized amount for stock repurchases under this program was $1.3 billion.

Purchase Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to third-party contract manufacturers and component suppliers to manage manufacturer lead times and meet product forecasts, and to other parties, to purchase various key components used in the manufacture of our products. In addition, we have open purchase orders and contractual obligations associated with our ordinary course of business for which we have not yet received goods or services. These off-balance sheet purchase commitments totaled $2.3 billion as of July 31, 2026, of which $2.1 billion is due in the next twelve months, with the remainder due thereafter.

Legal Contingencies

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. See further details on such matters in Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in our market risk exposures for the three months ended July 31, 2026, as compared to those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 24, 2026.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The phrase “disclosure controls and procedures” refers to controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of July 31, 2026, the end of the fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the Evaluation Date). Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

For a discussion of legal proceedings, see Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our future business, operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common and capital stock. Except to the extent updated below or to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates to such risk factors (including, without limitation, the matters discussed in Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations), there have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors since our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risks Related to Our Operations

We often incur expenses before receiving related benefits and make purchase commitments based on forecasted demand. It may be difficult to reduce expenses or adjust commitments quickly, or at all, if demand declines, and we may be committed to purchasing components at prices that exceed prevailing market prices.

We base our expense levels and purchase commitments partly on future revenue expectations, and a significant portion of our expenses are fixed. Reducing these fixed costs and purchase commitments quickly, or at all, can be challenging, and if our revenue falls below expectations, our operating results could be adversely impacted. During periods of uneven growth or decline, we may incur costs before realizing the anticipated benefits, which could also harm our operating results. 

We have made, and will continue to make, significant investments in engineering, sales, service and support, marketing, and other functions to support and grow our business. The costs associated with these investments are likely to be recognized earlier than some of the related anticipated benefits, such as revenue growth. Additionally, the return on these investments may be lower or may develop more slowly than we expect, which could harm our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.

A significant portion of our reported purchase commitments consists of firm, non-cancelable, and unconditional commitments with contract manufacturers and component suppliers. These commitments may require us to purchase materials and components at prices established in advance of delivery. If market prices for such materials or components decline, we could be obligated to acquire inventory at costs that exceed prevailing market prices, which could adversely affect our gross margins, inventory valuations, operating results, cash flows, and competitiveness. In addition, if demand for our products is lower than anticipated, we may experience excess or obsolete inventory and incur additional charges related to these commitments.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered sales of equity securities

On July 16, 2026, we issued 28,706 shares of our common stock to a former holder of shares of DataPelago in connection with the acquisition of DataPelago, which closed on July 16, 2026, in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Insider Adoption or Termination of Trading Arrangements

On June 15, 2026, George Kurian, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act. The trading arrangement will expire on June 15, 2027, and may be terminated earlier in the limited circumstances defined in the trading arrangement. An aggregate of up to 150,000 shares may be sold pursuant to the trading arrangement.

On June 15, 2026, Deepak Ahuja, Chair of the Company's Audit Committee, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act. The trading arrangement will expire on June 15, 2027, and may be terminated earlier in the limited circumstances defined in the trading arrangement. An aggregate of up to 11,683 shares may be sold pursuant to the trading arrangement.

No other directors or executive officers of the Company adopted, modified or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of the Company’s securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K), during the quarterly period covered by this report.

Amended Change of Control Severance Agreements

On August 28, 2026, the Company entered into Change of Control Severance Agreements (the Change of Control Agreements) with George Kurian, Cesar Cernuda, Syam Nair, Beth O’Callahan and Wissam Jabre. The Change of Control Agreements amend and replace the prior Change of Control Severance Agreements between the Company and each such executive officer.

The Change of Control Agreements provide certain payments and benefits in the event of a termination of the executive's employment by the Company without “Cause” or by the executive for “Good Reason” within the twenty-four-month period following a “Change of Control” (as those terms are defined in the Change of Control Agreements). In such event, the executive would be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum payment equal to 150% (or, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, 200%) of the executive's annual base salary plus the applicable percentage of the executive’s target annual bonus, based on the greater of the rate in effect immediately prior to termination or immediately prior to the Change of Control; (ii) a pro-rated lump sum payment equal to the greater of the executive's target annual bonus or the bonus based on actual performance accrued at the time of termination; (iii) accelerated vesting of the executive’s outstanding equity awards with performance-based equity awards vesting at target unless the award agreement provides otherwise; and (iv) Company-paid COBRA continuation coverage for up to 18 months (or, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, 24 months) following termination.

The payments and benefits under each Change of Control Agreement are contingent on the executive signing and not revoking a release of claims.

The foregoing description of the Change of Control Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Change of Control Severance Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated by reference herein.
