Leases Leases
We have entered into various non-cancelable operating leases, primarily for our offices, with lease terms expiring through the year ending July 31, 2040. The most significant leases relate to our corporate headquarters in Santa Clara.
In April 2026, we entered into three lease amendments to extend the lease terms of our current corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California for a period of twelve years through July 2040. The leases contain rent holiday periods, scheduled rent increases, lease incentives, and renewal options which allow the lease terms to be extended through July 2052. Lease payments under the three lease amendments, net of lease incentives such as rent holidays and tenant improvement allowances, are approximately $469 million over the extended lease term through July 2040.
During the years ended July 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, our net cost for operating leases was $146 million, $122 million, and $105 million, respectively, primarily consisting of operating lease costs of $104 million, $88 million, and $76 million, respectively. Our net cost for operating leases also included variable lease costs, short-term lease costs, and sublease income in the periods presented.
