Operating segments are defined as components of a company that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses, and for which discrete financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Aggregation of similar operating segments into reportable operating segments is permitted if the businesses have similar economic characteristics and meet established qualitative criteria. Effective July 1, 2025, we realigned our organizational structure and identified multiple operating segments which have been aggregated into two reportable segments based on our internal management structure and CODM oversight: (i) Datacenter & Communications, and (ii) Industrial. See Note 18. Segment Reporting for further information.

Previous report

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, management entered into non-binding agreements to sell several entities. As a result of classifying these entities as held-for-sale, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $85 million within the Industrial segment. These charges were recognized in Impairment of assets held-for-sale in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to reduce the carrying values of the entities to their estimated fair value. In the nine months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded additional non-cash impairment charges of $20 million, within the Industrial segment. The charges were recorded in Impairment of assets held-for-sale in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) to reduce the carrying values of the entities that continue to meet the held-for-sale criteria to their estimated fair value.

Previous report

These tariffs and export restrictions did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition, operational results and/or cash flows in the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Previous report

As a global company with a substantial and diversified manufacturing footprint, this footprint provides us with some insulation against these tariffs, trade sanctions, and other geopolitical challenges. Our geographically diverse supply chain combined with the internal production of many of our most critical technological in-feeds provides adaptability and optionality that benefits our customers. As the tariff, trade sanctions, and export restrictions become clearer, we expect to identify opportunities to mitigate their impact. However, we operate in a dynamic geopolitical environment, and we are not immune to any sustained disruption in global trade conditions. Such disruptions could create future headwinds for the Company and may result in revenue reduction, cost increases on material used in our products or significant production delays, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The loss associated with the sale was $96 million, with a substantial portion of this loss recognized through impairment charges within Impairment of assets held-for-sale in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss), including $81 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, $13 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and $11 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This was partially offset by a gain of $115 million recorded within Gain on sale of business in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Previous wording

In early 2025, the United States implemented significant new tariffs and export restrictions affecting a broad range of countries, commodities and industries. These actions have prompted retaliatory measures from certain foreign governments, including the imposition of tariffs and export controls. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“EEPA”) were not authorized by the statute. The Company is the importer of record for certain raw materials and products that were previously subject to such tariffs under IEEPA. Significant uncertainty remains regarding how and when any amounts may be recovered. We are evaluating the ruling and potential actions available to us. Because the process, timing, and amount of any recovery are uncertain, we have not recorded any potential benefit from a refund at this time.

The Company is the importer of record for certain raw materials and products that were previously subject to such tariffs under IEEPA. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, following the orders of the U.S. Court of International Trade directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund such duties, the Company concluded that recovery of a portion of previously paid tariffs was probable. As a result, the Company recorded the receipt of tariff refunds received and recognized a net receivable for additional refunds expected to be recovered. The amounts recorded were not material to the Company. The receivable at September 30, 2026 represents the Company’s estimate of recoverable tariffs associated with eligible import entries based on information available as of September 30, 2026, including shipment‑level data and applicable court rulings guidance. The timing of collection remains subject to U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s administrative processes, and actual amounts ultimately received may differ from estimates as refund claims are reviewed and validated.

Interest and other, net expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $16 million, compared to $62 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, representing a decrease of $45 million. Included in Interest and other, net, were interest expense on borrowings, foreign currency gains and losses, amortization of debt issuance costs, equity gains and losses from unconsolidated investments, and interest and dividend income on cash balances. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the decrease of $45 million in comparison to the same period last fiscal year was driven by $16 million lower foreign exchange net losses, $14 million gains on sales from an equity investment and $13 million lower interest expense. The $16 million lower foreign exchange net losses were primarily due to lower volatility of exchange rates during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The $13 million lower interest expense was primarily due to lower interest expense on our Term Loans resulting from lower balances and lower interest rates, partially offset by lower interest expense benefit from our interest rate cap.

The $39 million lower interest expense was primarily due to lower interest expense on our Term Loans resulting from lower balances and lower interest rates partially offset by lower interest expense benefit from our interest rate cap and swap. The $10 million lower interest and dividend income was primarily due to decreases in interest rates earned on investments as well as the decrease in average cash and restricted cash balances. The $6 million lower foreign exchange net gains were primarily due to lower volatility of exchange rates during the nine months ended March 31, 2026.
