The increases in sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year were primarily due to an increase in sales commissions expenses.

Current report

The decrease in research and development expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year was due to lower compensation costs driven by lower incentive compensation expense, partially offset by higher expenses in other components of compensation costs.

Current report

Research and development expenses remained relatively flat in the first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.

Current report

Inventory increased by $132 million, primarily due to higher raw materials purchases.

Previous report

Previous report

Previous report

Accrued expenses decreased by $221 million, primarily due to employee compensation payouts related to fiscal year 2024 incentive compensation and commissions plans.

Previous report

While most of our arrangements for sales include short-term payment terms, from time to time we provide long-term financing to creditworthy customers. We have generally sold receivables financed through these arrangements on a non-recourse basis to third party financing institutions within 10 days of the contracts’ dates of execution, and we classify the proceeds from these sales as cash flows from operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We account for the sales of these receivables as “true sales” as defined in the accounting standards on transfers of financial assets, as we are considered to have surrendered control of these financing receivables. We sold $19 million of receivables in each of the first three months of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024.

Previous report

In addition, we enter into arrangements with leasing companies for the sale of our hardware systems products. These leasing companies, in turn, lease our products to end-users. The leasing companies generally have no recourse to us in the event of default by the end-user.

Previous report

Some of the leasing arrangements described above have been financed on a recourse basis through third-party financing institutions. Under the terms of recourse leases, which are generally three years or less, we remain liable for the aggregate unpaid remaining lease payments to the third-party leasing companies in the event of end-user customer default. These arrangements are generally collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. As of July 26, 2024 and April 26, 2024, the aggregate amount by which such contingencies exceeded the associated liabilities was not significant. To date, we have not experienced significant losses under our lease financing programs or other financing arrangements.

Previous report

We have entered into service contracts with certain of our end-user customers that are supported by third-party financing arrangements. If a service contract is terminated as a result of our non-performance under the contract or our failure to comply with the terms of the financing arrangement, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to acquire certain assets related to the service contract or to pay the aggregate unpaid payments under such arrangements. As of July 26, 2024, we have not been required to make any payments under these arrangements, and we believe the likelihood of having to acquire a material amount of assets or make payments under these arrangements is remote. The portion of the financial arrangement that represents unearned services revenue is included in deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
